Star Quotes from Jennifer L. Armentrout's Origin Series
“That was what I wanted at some point in my life, for someone to look at me like I looked at tacos.”
“His shirt read MUGGLE IN THE STREETS, WIZARD IN THE SHEETS.”
“There's nothing we can do other than live with the promise of tomorrow while knowing it may not come.”
“Did you love her, Luc?” “With every breath I take.”
“We were all dark stars, but Luc... he was the darkest."
“I don’t care what you call me as long as you call me yours.”
“It’s only ever been you. Before. Now. Later. There’s been no one else. There… just can’t be.”
“I am not walking away again. If I kiss you, if I touch you again, I will not be able to go back to the way things are now.” The next breath he took trembled as much as I was. “I won’t be able to pretend that you aren’t my everything”
“By the way, just going to remind you that you told me last night you missed me.” “I must’ve been high.” “On my presence.”
“You’re real, Evie. It doesn’t matter who you used to be or who you thought you were. You are real, and I see you.”
“Even if you wake up and you don’t know who you are and you don’t know who I am, it’ll be okay. I’ll be here, and I’ll help you remember.” His lips brushed my forehead. “I’ve got enough love for you that I’m overflowing with it. It’ll be more than enough if you wake up and see me as a stranger. No matter how you come back to me, as Evie or as Nadia or someone else, I’ll still love you like I do now, like I did yesterday and the day before, and that’ll be enough. I’ll still love you.”
“There is humor in everything. If we forget that, we lose everything.”
“What-ifs are the STDs of the mind,” he said, squeezing me when I laughed. “Seriously. They’re pointless, and they end with you wanting to take a wire brush to your brain. Don’t waste your time there.”
“We didn’t come all this way, survive all we have, only to lose each other again,” he said. “You won’t allow that. I know you won’t, but if you can’t believe in that yet, then believe in me until you can.”
"I’m yours. You’re mine. That means when you go toe to toe with anyone or anything, you go to battle with me beside you, and if I go down fighting to back you up, there won’t be a single part of me that regrets that.”

CR3 92 -- A list. Spoilers? I guess.
So I normally watch the first hour or so of CR and then go to bed, because time zone and work in the morning, but of course, I had to watch ALL of it last week and by the end, I was so sleepy that I vowed to rewatch it on Friday. Then my dog got into a fight with a raccoon, and we ended up at the emergency vet at 2am (he's fine now). I realized I hadn't finished watching Kymal, so I had to go watch that, and I didn't get back to rewatching the ep until yesterday/today.
1. The growth of Aimee fucking Carrero as a player. Love it so much.
2. Aabria Iyengar is perfect. No notes needed.
3. It’s so fun to watch Matt be one part tactician 2 parts himbo.
4. Robbie is absolutely coming back to the main table. He said Dorian feels like he needs a purpose, but he’s the only Crownkeeper who isn’t favored by a god.
5. Betrayed God Champion one shot. Go go. They could be Exandria's Suicide Squad.
6. I need someone, not me, I've got shit to do, to chart out the timelines for the last IDK two months game time?
7. WHAT IF BH GOES TO AEOR AND POPS A BUBBLE AND THAT IS SAM'S NEW CHARACTER????? That's just a thought I had.
8. M9 one shot in Aeor please or just have half the table play M9 and half the table play BH. I want Caleb and Beau involved in taking down Luddy.
9. Alternately, BH could go meet HotBoi!Essek.
10. ALSO WHAT IS THIS LUXEN BULLSHIT THAT YOU JUST DROPPED AABRIA? Please elaborate.
11. Did Opal's mom know Vex and Vax?
12. Is Opal Ruidus born?
13. Are all of the PCs on the excult/exfundie side of Tiktok or what?
14. How many cults are we up to now? We've got the 420 Hive Mind in Bassuras, Ruidian stuff, Assholes who thought it would be a good idea to put a piece of a primordial entity into a child, and now Third Secret Option Luxon.
15. Ash, Imogene, and Opal need to form the "Children of Deadbeat Parents who went and got involved in a cult and caused their children a lot of heartache" support group.
I love me some comic horror, but is it next Thursday yet?

Tumblr media
MY WORKS
SHURI UDAKU
Shuri Udaku headcannons
lovesick!shuri who's a softy. She loves you. You know she loves you, she knows she loves you and she'll be damned if she doesn't let everyone in all of Wakanda know, too. Shuri isn't afraid to show you off when the two of you are in public. She doesn't get too territorial when it comes to you because she knows that you're hers and she's yours.
Keep me close
"It's a promise ring," she says quickly, "I know you're not ready for marriage yet, my love."
You put the ring on your ring finger, a smile on your face.
Shuri kisses you on the forehead and places one of the onesies in your hands. "You take a shower and I'll make us something to eat, alright?"
Grief
Shuri sits up slowly. She breathes in deeply and unlocks the door. "Why're you here?" Her voice is low and raspy, surprising both of them. It had been a while since Shuri had actually said something out loud.
"I heard you weren't doing so good so I came to check on you," Riri says. She's worried. Shuri can see it all over her face and hear it in her voice but she doesn’t want to be a burden.
Addiction
There were times when you would get upset about her drinking while she was drinking and she would always talk you down. Not in a bad way, Shuri doesn't like yelling to resolve an argument or a disagreement. It doesn't solve anything to raise your voice, it only makes you and the situation more hostile. Shuri would wait for you to stop talking and then politely ask if you could lower your tone. She doesn't do it to guilt trip or make you feel guilty or anything, she just can't stand yelling. And if you do actually lower your tone and calm yourself down, the two of you talk reasonably for hours. You tell her what happened, why you're mad, and how the situation escalated to the point where you had to raise your voice.
RIRI WILLIAMS
Stay with me
You open the car door, smiling at the red and pink bouquet of flowers on your seat. You look over at Riri, who also has a smile on her face.
"Ri, when did you have the time to get these?" You finish your sentence while getting in the car, the flowers on your lap, "They are literally stunning."
"I got em while you were napping during your foot massage. Figured it was the only time I had to disappear for minute without you noticin'."
Something new
You stand there for another minute or two before deciding that since she wouldn't address her absence then you would. "So, we're not gonna talk about the fact that you just up and left, again, this morning?"
Shuri shrugs and sits down on the couch. "What sense does it make? You ask, I ignore you and the cycle repeats? No thanks."
"Why can't you communicate with me?" "For Bast's sake, y/n." Shuri groans and rolls her eyes. "Here you go, again."
Gf!Riri hcs
She falls asleep whenever you two are watching a movie or even when you two are just alone. She feels safe with you at all times so she knows to lower her guard.
She is 100% a homebody. She likes leaving the house but she also doesn’t. If she has to choose between staying home and going out, she’s gonna pick staying in and especially if you're staying home with her.
Nervous
"Tryna get drunk already, Ri?"
"Thats what we came here for, isn’t it?"
"You do know that shit is gonna give you a nasty ass hangover, right?"
Riri shrugs and chugs her drink. It only takes a few seconds before she starts coughing quietly. It was spicy and left her throat a little sore but she liked it. She filled her cup again while Shuri watched.
"Don't come to me tomorrow morning begging me to make you something to eat and drink, you know? I gave you your warning."
You haven't seen my girl
The way Riri always looked at you with love in her eyes made you melt. It’s like she’s a cartoon character with hearts for eyes. Whenever she talked about you to somebody she’d always say “My girl”. You liked that. Being called her girl was something you lived for.
There weren’t enough words in the English language that could explain how much love Riri has for you in her heart. Every time she looks at you, a love song plays in her head. It’s not a sexual love song. It’s a slow, romantic one. Sad Girl by Lana Del Rey. That explains her love for you. That plays in her head whenever you’re in her view, and honestly, it makes her fall even deeper in love with you each time.
Just seeing you smile, seeing you write, cook, draw, seeing you do things that she knows you love, makes her fall even more in love with you. It’s not the fact that you do things that you like, it’s the fact that you do them with a smile on your face. Cooking, writing, and drawing all bring you happiness, and for Riri to be able to experience that in real-time makes her heart flourish.
Trust in her
"Rianna?" She moves closer. "That's my name now?"
"I'm not callin' you Riri when you tryna play wit me." You put your lipgloss on and look at yourself in the mirror. You look good and you know it.
"You look good, mama," Riri says, coming behind you and kissing your head. "You sure you don't want me coming with you?"
"So you can beat the hell outta some nigga that look at me the wrong way?" You laugh, "Nah, Ion want no drama tonight, but if you promise to behave then you can come with me."
You see her smile. "Aight, I'ma behave."
SHURI X RIRI
At the end of the day
Shuri put her hand in chest and sank to the floor, crying. "Griot," she says softly.
"Yes, my queen?" The A.I answers.
"Call Riri. Tell her it's an emergency."
"Calling Mrs. Williams now."
Riri rushed into the lab, frantically looking around for her wife. She stopped for a second and heard crying. It was soft but she was able to figure out where it was coming from.
Riri kneeled down next to Shuri, "Baby, what happened?"
Roller skating
Riri wraps her hand around Shuri's waist to hold her upright. She's clinging on for dear life. They move slowly towards the counter. Once they've made it, Riri notices how Shuri is slightly less tense but still scared. Riri asks for the trainer and gives it to Shuri. Shuri feels embarrassed having to use a trainer to skate, like everyone's gonna be staring at her once she's in the rink.
"You're okay, my love." Riri says softly. "I know you're scared but I'm not gonna let you get hurt."
Shuri closes her eyes and breathes in deeply and opens her eyes. They're on the rink. She didn't even feel them move.
Riri stays behind her the whole time, hands on her hips, moving her forward when needed. "Keep moving, ma, you got it." She says proudly.
Vacation (coming ???)
Didn't deserve
“Are you hungry?” Shuri asked Imani from the kitchen. No response. Shuri rolled her eyes and went over to her girlfriend, standing in front of her. “Can you just tell me why you’re ignoring me?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because you should remember. It’s not my fault your memory is shit.”
“And it’s not my fault that you’re having this one-sided ass fight over something I don’t even fucking remember, Imani. We're dating, aren’t we? We’re supposed to be able to talk to one another when we have issues but instead you're pushing me away and ignoring me.”
Didn't deserve part 2
"Imani?" Shuri says, causing her to turn around. She looks… different. A good different. But Shuri won't let herself fall for that trick again. "Why're you here?"
"I came to apologize." Her voice is different, too. It sounds more mature than Shuri remembered. "I was tryna reach out to you last night so that we could actually schedule a day that you weren't busy so I could come by but you didn't answer so I figured an apology in person would be better."
Shuri keeps her guard up while Imani talks, her arms folded over chest. "I don't forgive you."
Imani stays quiet for a few seconds. "What? Shuri, I said I was sorry."
"Yeah, and I do not forgive you. You put me through hell, Imani, and I know you didn't seriously come here thinking that those two words would make you forgive you for everything. And, to be honest, I would tell you how fucked up in the head I am because of you, but knowing you, you'd probably use it against me in the future, if we even talk. So, why don't you just save both of our time and tell me why you're really here."

CHAPTER 1.
Parental Love.
TW: Gunshots, death, description of mortal wound
-5 months earlier-
In a somewhat remote village in the Kingdom of Luxen, was raised a boy named Leo, and he discovered he could produce flames with his hands at the age of 10, when his parents heard about it they immediately called the government's emergency calls, and informed them of the fact. When the person on the phone heard that, he froze in shock but told the distressed woman on the phone that everything will be okay and that they would call her as soon as they can. The man hung up the phone and quickly left the room and off to his superior.
"General Tengziou sir!"
"What is the matter?" Responded the General in curiosity.
"We've received a call from a family in the village southeast of here that their ten year old son had developed a flame haunt."
The General responds calmly and tells his subordinate to return to his post and tell her that their people would visit personally as soon as possible to inform them of their mandatory actions to keep the kid, he chuckled to himself as he said that.
Once left alone in his office he reached for the phone.
A day later, in a remote village...
Leo's parents hear the doorbell to their home and open the door to reveal a woman and two men, the woman starts talking.
Tall woman: "We have been informed that you called about a kid having a Haunt, was that you?" She asked with a smile.
Leo's mom: "Yes that's right, you see we're very scared, we spoke to a person on the phone,, they told us you'd be showing up to inform us of what we need to do in order to keep him."
Leo's dad: "It happened very fast yesterday we haven't been able to think this through, so we were hoping you could enlighten us."
Tall woman: "Oh is that what they told you...? I'm afraid you have been misinformed, you see, there's nothing you can do to keep him here, he's a threat to our nation, and he is going to be held captive for the rest of his life." She said, with her smile barely wavering.
Leo's parents looked at the woman in front of them and thought she was insane for keeping a happy face considering what she was talking about. Leo's mom became furious at her and could barely restrain herself.
Leo's mom: "THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND CRUEL. I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE MY SON."
The tall woman nodded with a smile and spoke again. "In that case I feel inclined to inform you of what we do with people who go against the law..." As these words left their mouth, the two men behind her stepped up and showed the mad and scared parents their guns that were strapped to their belts without saying a word.
Leo's mom gasped at the sight of the guns and she covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes began to tear up.
Leo's dad: "YOU DARE THREATEN US INSIDE OUR HOUSE?" He said as he grabbed a shotgun they had as a decoration on their walls. But before he could lift it up to aim, the two men were already aiming towards both their heads.
Shelingia's mother: "Let me put this a way you understand, let us take the kid in peace, or you die right here, right now." Her smile completely dropped. "You have until I count to 10 to decide."
A few seconds of silence befall the room...
"One."
The two parents started panicking.
"Two."
Cold sweat started running down both their foreheads.
"Three."
The brunette mother dropped to her knees, her eyes running.
"Four."
The ginger haired father dropped the shotgun in despair and fell down to his knees.
"Five"
The mother interlocked her hands and started praying. Only thing the people in the room could make out was "Oh spirits of old...".
"Six."
The father removed his glasses and wiped away his tears with his finger before putting them back on.
"Seven."
The father swallowed and then took the courage to speak. "Please listen to me, he's a good child, he only ever talks about becoming a hero and saving the weak, the spirits haven't messed with his mind, he doesn't deserve any of this..." His eyes started running again. "Please don't hurt Leo, my son... He's done nothing wrong...."
The woman halts her counting and decides to respond, an action she considered to be very kind.
"Listen, the spirits of old take time to act, you believe we haven't tried to keep a person with a Haunt alive and raised normally? They all turn their back to the world in the end, so let us take him and your life will be spared, no one has to die today."
The mother's praying got faster.
The father sighed, grabbed his shotgun and stood up again. "I won't let you take him while I'm alive."
The woman responded: "Well then, I'm sorry but-"
Suddenly, footsteps from inside the house running around can be heard, and soon enough a young boy with dark ginger hair and big round eyes peeked his head through the door that lead into the living room. He looked around, he saw his father holding the shotgun he remembers being on the wall, his mother on her knees who's head had made a sharp and sudden turn to look at her son with tearful eyes, two men pointing something at his parents, and a tall woman who was smiling.
"Daddy..? What's going on? And why's mommy on the floor? Did you drop your food again?"
His mother looked at the woman in front of her and only managed to say "Wait-" before she smiled sadistically and said:
"One."
Two gunshots fired at the exact same time, and the two grown parents fell to the floor, their faces unrecognizable from the bullets they just took to their forehead, and all the blood that splattered on to them and on to the hardwood floors.
Leo covered his ears and closed his eyes at the sound of the gunshots since he was so close, loud noises startle him after all. Once he opened his eyes he saw his parents laying down in a pool of red, unable to understand what just happened, he runs to their side.
He shoves his dad's lifeless body and says "Get up! Get up! Why are you on the floor?!" He looks up to his face and sees a gaping hole right above his eyes, pouring blood, he looked at his mother, the same thing to her as well. Once he realized that his parents wouldn't be getting up this time, he started crying and screaming. "MOM! DAD!"
The tall woman behind his back spoke to the men behind her "Put him to sleep, we need to get going, it's a long way home."
Suddenly everything went black for Leo.
The next day, at a secret establishment...
A girl is in a white room as big as a basketball field, throwing kicks and punches in rapid succession on a training dummy that says "inflammable" on it. She thinks to herself...
"Mother should come back here soon, with the new kid she was told to go retrieve..."
She lets out a sigh.
"Well, I should stay focused on my training or Father will get mad again and... I'm not keen on experiencing THAT again..."
Fire appears on her leg and she jumps up before landing a midair kick on the face of the dummy.
Her heavy breathing can be heard through the whole room.
"If I use this power for too long I start to feel drained... Just a little more..."
She lands a few flaming punches on the dummy.
"I wonder what the new kid's haunt looks like. It might be ice, or even electric currents, my parents haven't found one of those yet, they might be frustrated if it's an already discovered one... What might they do to that poor child..."
With that thought she got angry at her parents and her frustration led her to kick the dummy so hard she hurt her ankle.
"Ow, Shit!"
She sat on the floor and rubbed her ankle
"Okay it's not too bad... I'll just need to be careful with that foot for a day or two."
She hears the door open and quickly stands up and puts her hands behind her waist. "Father, you're here, welcome." She said to the man with square glasses who walked in the room.
Father: "I am, I also see you're slacking on the floor... In any case, I wanted to inform you that your mother has arrived, she asked for you to go to the cells, it's about the most recent Haunted specimen."
Shelingia thinks to herself, "What could she possibly have to say to me of all people about the kid? Well... Best not keep her waiting, she tends to get irritable if she waits for something too long..."
Shelingia: "Very well, thanks for the information Father, I will see myself to the cells immediately."
Her father responded "Good. Don't be late for your mother Shelingia. And... You should hope I don't catch you slacking again." And then he left the room.
Shelingia didn't say anything but simply looked at the floor before making her way to the cells.
Later, in the cells...
Shelingia walks through the cells looking for her mother, she sees her in the distance and walks closer, once she gets close enough she puts her arms behind her waist and announces herself.
"Mother, you asked for me?"
"Gah! You little... Don't speak so suddenly while I'm working! In any case, I did, we brought a new Haunted in today, and you might be surprised that he has a flame haunt, just like yours."
"I'm not surprised, if there can be more than one person with the same ability I can't see why other people having my haunt is any different. But I should play the part to avoid any unnecessary arguments..." She thinks once again before deciding to speak, and faking an interested voice.
"That is indeed intriguing, it is rare, is it not?"
"Correct, this boy is the only person with a flame haunt other than you that we have ever encountered, who knows, he might prove himself more useful than you have."
"So you brought me in here to remind me that I'm a failure in your eyes... Typical Tuesday." She thinks, but doesn't address her thoughts in any way.
"I am amazed mother, great find indeed." Said Shelingia with her fake voice.
Her mother responded while looking at some papers she had in her hand. "Yeah whatever, go now I need to work, feel free to return to your training."
"Very well, Mother." Said Shelingia. While she was ready to turn and leave, she glanced at the boy in the cell, he was fainted but his eyes looked like he cried very recently. She lets out a sigh and walks to her training room even if her thoughts were cloudy.
