#or this season being quite light so i don't feel the need to dedicate as much time as i usually do to analysis post
Note
🛏️, 🥪, 📚, and 🎨 for the oc asks!!
Aaaah, thank you so much for the ask! I'm going to go with Brisala Alithar to mix it up.
🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?
Much like her sister, Brisala has a terrible habit of not really going to sleep. Wasting 8 hours a night dedicated to laying down and doing nothing could be put to better use with her nose in her notes and a hand in the dirt.
That is to say, her bed is pristine. It's tucked in and taut. Pillows plush and fluffed each night. There is a fine layer of dust on the bed frame that has to be dusted off once a week. Which is a pain in the ass to do since it was grown from fungi so it has lots of nooks and crannies things can get caught in. Thankfully a lot of the staff have a spell for this but it is still annoying to have to cast it over the whole bed when a simple bed frame would've been done in seconds.
There are cute little glowing shrooms around the headrest. Certainly not used for late night reading, but for a dash of decoration that Brisala planted on the bed. Some of them, however, are shrooms that do light up different colors because they're connected to parts of the Tower to alert her of intruders or passerbys.
Even in the supposed safety of bed, Brisala cannot let her guard down for a singular moment. She has lost enough in her life, nothing will ever be lost to her now.
🥪 On a scale from ‘burns water’ to ‘5 course menu’ how well can your OC cook?
Despite growing her own mushrooms for the use of cooking and snacking, Brisala is only versed in like two dishes and only those two. She can saute and mix decently, but she is no chef. A late midnight snack and her own comfort food is about all she can do.
She won't burn down the house, but she might not season a dish well enough or too much. Her specific mushrooms have more concentrated flavors that others might find too strong, but Brisala loves it. So her taste buds are slightly skewed toward different profiles.
She is the owner of a Tower with it's very own small community around it, so she doesn't really feel the need to cook for herself. Her chef and head of house are much better at it and much better at reminding Brisala to take a break to eat.
📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?
Mushrooms. Phenology. Their importance as a connector between different species on Vvardenfell. Why they should be respected and their field of study expanded to be included in everyday magic.
Fungal study is not new or unusual on Vvardenfell, but there are still endless possibilities that can be drawn out of them that are undiscovered and could benefit the greater community. To say the least on the medicinal usage they can provide and how they could be refined and given to the people.
Brisala helps fill her coffers by selling medicine made from specialized fungi. Either that or selling her fungi to vendors and taking a cut of the profits. So a quick 10 minute lecture on the benefits of her products would absolutely be something she would do.
🎨 Does your OC have any craft skill, as a hobby or profession? If so which?
Gardening would be the closest thing for Brisala. Unusual for a Telvanni Master to get her own hands dirty playing with dirt. She is very particular about her work and does not like the idea of sharing them with anyone, even with her own sibling. Brisala has layers and layers of magic surrounding her to prevent spores from being breathed in, especially if she's researching particularly dangerous ones.
Outside of this, I actually don't know. She's so focused on her work, and exploring every possibility that she really don't think about anything else. She can stop and have tea and gossip with her sister on the most recent rumor. She constantly monitors the health of their Tower and makes minute improvements.
Brisala is a workhorse that doesn't know when to quit and I'm sure she realizes this. Yet there is an underlying reason for all this work that she can't shake off and it drives her forward every day until she collapses.
So she goes back to her nurseries, and makes another mark in her notes. Same thing day after day. The work does not stop.

https://www.tumblr.com/eisforeidolon/728741971448954880/it-also-needs-to-be-reiterated-that-bi-lighting
You already covered this really well, but a little extra discussion on "bi lighting," and how stupid it would be as a way to demonstrate a characters sexuality. For one thing, say in the bar scene in season 15 of Supernatural where Dean is visiting his old friend. He’s not the only person in that scene, so is everyone in that scene bi?
Also, I know that filmmakers use colors to evoke moods and make us feel things, to draw focus, etc, but that being said, 8% of men and 1 in 200 women (according to a quick Google search) are colorblind. So, they are going to use color cues only to tell us someone is bi, but not actually make them, you know, attracted to the same sex at all, but just use the color as a clue. I get that not a huge amount of people are colorblind, but I know quite a few who are, myself included. But still, show runners are going to do things like put characters in "bi colored shirts" and light them with "bi lighting" but not actually say it out loud? Not to mention, I am sure there is a considerable amount of the general audience who won’t automatically knows the colors of the bi flag, and if they don't know them off the top of their head, they’ll have no reason to look up color choices of shirts and stage lights to check. So, now colorblind people and people unfamiliar with the bi flag colors aren’t going to know your character is "bi." That’s not the entire audience, of course, so maybe that’s fine, but then you also have the people who just watch a show to enjoy it and aren’t actively looking for parallels or clues about characters. These viewers are just, you know, watching the show. They are doing this crazy thing where they watch the action and listen to what the characters say (not what they wear unless it funny, out of character or otherwise stands out in some way) to find out information about the characters.
Anyway, I don’t have anything profound to add, just wanted to add weight to the absurdity of big lighting, and help demonstrate why hellers are delusional.
It doesn't need to be a profound addition to make it worth continuing a discussion. I mean, I don't think I was saying anything really new in the first place, but sometimes, especially in a fandom so full of really bad interpretation? I think it's a good idea to keep pointing out all the ways it obviously all falls apart if you actually look at it.
At the end of the day, it just comes back down to the fact that subtext and symbolism simply don't work like that. You don't tell a story ONLY through symbols that could potentially have a multitude of other meanings (if they're significant at all) and ONLY count in terms of one of many characters they could apply to. You don't tell a story ONLY through symbols large parts of the audience will not catch - or may not even be able to catch. You definitely don't tell an extended story ONLY in the subtext contradicting the directly told main narrative. These kinds of theories always rely on a fundamentally flawed and frankly bonkers assumption a canon's writers are telling a secret hidden story that will only be satisfying for the fraction of super special people in the audience *cough* clever and dedicated enough to decipher it being hinted at for years and years without materializing in the actual narrative. In this case, a CW tv show's writers where the previously on segments made it clear they sometimes didn't trust the audience to remember what happened an episode ago writing a hidden story across fifteen fucking seasons (since they insist there were totes hints in the first three, too). Yeah.
I admit there's an evil troll part of me that almost wants to go write a D/C fic where Dean and Castiel treat each other just as they do in canon, but I constantly include background detail nonsense like bi lighting from their meta. Then in literally only one line at the end of the final of many long chapters, apropos of literally nothing building to it, shove in something vaguely romantic and just end the fic. Because I'm sure they know damn well that would be an absolutely shit excuse for a story, and wouldn't be shy about saying so - if it was divorced from their campaign of "proving" their ship totes exists (or they deserved for it to exist) in the canon. But I won't because I'm lazy and not that much of a dick.

BITE ME- 1: The Beginning
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Jake x Female Reader
Genre: Vampire Enhypen and Human Reader College Strangers to Friends to Lovers!AU
Synopsis: Set in present-day Pacific Northwest US. Y/n in a college student, and keeps to herself. One day, she has strange encounters with two statuesque men, one of which invites her to a party (at their mansion ofc) where she drunkenly confesses that she can't pay her rent. Vast and highly believable events ensue, leading to her live with 7 a-little-too-perfect guys. That's all you need to know.
Chapter Summary:
A short baby first chapter because getting things started is hard. I promise y/n is not insufferably annoying, our girl is struggling for the first few chapters. Her badassery comes with time, promise;)
← Masterlist – Next→
PROLOGUE:
It’s already looking like it’s going to be a cold, dark winter. That comes with the territory of living in the Pacific Northwest, however it is still hard to combat the seasonal blues. Over the years, I have floated between friend groups, never quite sticking with one. Everyone always seems to be better friends with each other than they are with me. That’s okay, though. I like to keep to myself, it’s easier that way. I grew up being close with my family, never feeling the lack of friends. When I got the opportunity to come to this University to study English Literature on a hefty scholarship, I had no choice but to move 6+ hours away from them. It’s been almost 3 years here, and I am still getting by on my own. I have my cousin Gracie, who, although lives across the country from me, still texts me everyday and Facetime's me every few. School keeps me busy, and when I am not holed up in the library writing papers, I am working at a local bookstore Mont Blanc Books. My life is simple, and I am going to do my best to keep it that way. Why do I have a strange feeling this dark season might bring along new changes to that simplicity as well?
CHAPTER 1:
Of course it would start raining as I walked out of my class. Of course I did not bring an umbrella. Fast walking awkwardly with my head down, it is. Damn, is the water literally falling horizontally from the sky? Why is every single droplet hitting my eyes right now? I settle into a quick rhythm, weaving through any of the students who actually brought an umbrella today and are taking their sweet time down the path. I look up for a split second, just in time to ram right into the chest of someone.
“Oh my god,” I say, stopping in my tracks but not quite looking up to examine who I ran into. These raindrops are still threatening to pierce my vision.
“Sorry, I think that was my fault” says the voice. A light accent coating the words.
Wait, I know that voice. I look up, just in time to make the connection that the person I just collided with is Jake. As in, the ever elusive and yet somehow still painfully charming Jake. We took a Romantic Era Literature class together last semester, and of course he always had thoughtful insights to add to the class. I couldn’t just chalk him up to being some annoying jerk who ran through girlfriends almost as quickly as I was just fast walking. No, he actually could somehow be both a mysterious playboy and a dedicated student who said things like; “Frankenstein's monster could have lived among the humans, it's just everyone was too scared to ever see past his intimidating exterior”.
Yes I can quote things he said in class. No, we don't need to think further about that.
At the moment, I am still staring awkwardly at him and thinking about everything except what I will say next. So instead, I do what I always do. Laugh when it is unnecessary to fill the silent void. I also notice that I am not feeling any rain, because Jake is holding an umbrella over himself and (now,) me. I stand up straight and say;
“Nope, definitely my fault.” Cue another awkward chuckle on my end. “I should have been looking where I was going…it's just this rain seems to be out to get me today and-”
“It's fine. No harm done, really” Of course he's nice in real life too, and not just in front of professors.
“Thanks. Well, I’m gonna just…go.” Wow. You would think I have read enough books to be able to have a normal conversation with a devilishly handsome boy, and yet here I am.
“Take this,” he says, holding out the umbrella.
“Oh no, that’s not necessar-” before I can finish he starts walking away, in the direction I came.
I stand dumbfounded for a moment. Looking ahead of me, and then realizing the shock also took away my manners, I turn around and start saying “thank you!” but he’s gone. Weird. The walkway is straight, with no other paths crossing into it where he could have turned. He just…disappeared. Whatever. I am cold and wet and would like to be in my car now. As I walk, I replay the interaction over and over in my head.
I clock in for my shift at Mont Blanc. It is a Thursday night, which means it should be pretty quiet. We don’t get a ton of foot traffic as it is, but especially not on weeknights. As I sit behind the front desk, I pull out my current read: Dracula. We are reading it in my Bookworms of the PNW group for November. We have already read Twilight (which was my pick because, duh. Classic.) and Carmilla over the past couple of months. We are clearly on a vampire kick. Next we are reading Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. It felt fitting, as it’s feeling more and more like winter. Plus we all like to compare hot vamps and discuss the lore. I have always loved gothic literature. There's something about reading books about monsters who are also human that will always get me.
After about thirty minutes of reading, the bell signaling the door opening rings. I look up, and it's a tall boy with white-blonde hair. I recognize him from campus; he’s hard to miss. He's gorgeous, and has an energy about him that you can’t forget. Not to mention the fact that he and his 6 other brothers are well known among the school for being the most attractive, most popular, and throwing the best parties. Now that I think about it, I don’t think they are actually all brothers. Considering the fact that they are all the same age and don’t all look alike. Hm. I will have to investigate that further later. Me and my cousin, who I rant to about anything and everything, have started calling them 'the statues'. It was birthed after I was explaining how they literally look like they are made of porcelain, or glass. It doesn't seem humanly possible to look so effortlessly cool, but who am I to judge that.
“Welcome in!” I say.
He nods, and smiles. Walking up to the counter, slightly leaning on it towards me.
“Looking for anything in particular today?” I ask.
“No, just…wanted to look.” He is staring at me a bit intensely. I don’t feel uncomfortable, just very…seen.
“Alright! Well, let me know if you need any help.” I expect him to start looking around the store, but instead, he cocks his head to the side and examines me further.
Weird. “Have we met before?” I ask. Damn, conversations are not coming easy to me today.
“No. I’m Sunoo, although I believe we go to the same University.”
“Oh!” Yeah, I knew that already. Let’s not seem creepy, though. “ Yeah, I think I have seen you around a couple times. I’m Y/n.”
He smiles. I smile. Somehow, I don’t feel awkward. There’s a kindness about him.
“I love your hair. Delicious color. Not many can pull it off.” He says.
Interesting choice of words. I’m flattered though and chuckle, running my hands through it as if to say ‘oh this old hair?’.
“Thanks! It's my favorite color.”
My hair is dyed a deep red. In most lighting, it just looks black. If the sun or a light hits it just right, though, you can tell.
“I could say the same about yours! It’s giving jack frost in the least weird way possible.” I say before I can think about it further. I internally cringe at myself.
He just laughs, and smiles. “You’re funny. I like you.” He lightly points at me as he says this. I just smile in response because, thanks? “Hey…if you're not busy tomorrow night we are having a party at my place. You should come by. Lots of music, people, booze…”
Not to play the ‘i'm not like other girls’ card, but I really don’t do college parties. However, something about Sunoo makes me want to say yes. I also may or may not be thinking about Jake and how he will most definitely be there. I just need to return the umbrella, okay? Plus, these boys are well known around the University for having the biggest ragers. Professors practically expect the reason students will miss a monday morning 8am class is because of them. We don’t have “greek life” at my University, however these 7 boys are the closest thing we have to a fraternity. If I were to explain their persona in just a few words it would be “clean frat boys”. Far too put together and academically driven to be real frat bros, however they always have different girls at their sides. Like I said-statues.
“Cool! That sounds…super fun” I try and sound like this wouldn’t be my first college party.
He smiles, clearly seeing right through me. He reaches out to the stack of post-its on the desk and grabs a pen from the cup next to it. He starts writing something down, which I come to see is the address.
“Great. See you tomorrow then?” He asks.
“Yep, I’ll be there!” I try not to sound too eager, but also how should you respond when someone you have never interacted with shows up and randomly invites you to a party?
He stops leaning on the counter and walks to the door. He looks back once more and grins, to which I smile back. I look down at the post-it with the address. It is then that I realize he came in and never looked around. Strange. He wouldn’t have come just to invite me to the party, right?
What a weird, weird day.

why can't shifting be harder? How I finally related to my fantasy-books. 
I KNOW I KNOW! "Why isn't shifting harder? Is this bitch for real? I have been trying to shift for ages and this Evie-chick needs it to be even harder? Can I punch her?", is what might be going through your head right now. And before you manifest for all of my teeth to fall out, and Steve to die in season 5 just to spite me, let me explain!
So, as I have mentioned before on my beautiful little blog: I work in a supermarket as a cashier. Right now it's August and in Germany (specifically Bavaria) it's summer break right now. Many families are on vacation and so it happens that the store is quite empty on a random August-Thursday. As a cashier that means you are sitting around staring holes into the air a lot while daydreaming about random stuff. Today I was staring at the automatic doors thinking about that one scene in stranger things 1 where El smashes the doors together with her telekinetic powers and all of that glass shatters. That thought, reminded me of a book I read once (Obsidian), where the MC was starting to become aware of her telekinetic powers and how they had almost an entire book (Onyx) dedicated to the MC training those powers, and learning to control them.
Remembering all those scenes where Kat had to practice her powers, because otherwise she didn't know how to use them, made me remember how confused I was about the fact that she had to practice it. How they would make her move things, or catch things, lift stuff and light shit on fire so she would learn to use the power inside of her.
"You literally know you have telekinetic powers, JUST USE THEM!".
That has always been my thought, every time I re-read that book, because it's one of my absolute favorite ones. I always catch myself thinking that if Kat was me, I would immediately know what to do, and that it's ridiculous that she has those powers and doesn't naturally feel how to do it. It was always so obvious to me, how to feel the power literally coursing through you and how to release it to manipulate stuff telekinetically. What an idiot Kat must be, because she had to practice and revise this feeling.
I was staring at those doors, realizing that I can actually transfer this thought onto myself. All of these Tumblr-posts where bloggers tell you that you have the power flowing through your veins, that you are the god of your universe and that the 3D is your play-dough to knead, all of them have been so right and I have just been so stupid not to understand. I believed them. I knew they were right, but I never absorbed that quite as much as I should have. I know I am the goddess of my reality. That I make the decisions, that I see what I want to see and that there is nothing that compares to my power. I know that. WHY DON'T I JUST USE THAT??? That realization made me feel just like Kat. I have the power to shift. It is mine. My super-power, my specialty, my trick. Why don't I just do it? Why don't I just decide to do it? You know you can shift. Why aren't you shifting?
Only now I can see how blinded I was by overcomplicating shifting for myself. You are a natural. A born-with-this-gift-chosen-one. A goddamn God/Goddess. It's as organic, as real, as human, as Devine and as designed for you as it could be. You were created with this talent my dear reader! If you feel like the main character of a fantasy novel about supernatural beings with superpowers and shit, YOU FUCKING SHOULD BECAUSE THATS WHO YOU ARE. I fucking swear to you there is a reality in which people are watching shows or reading novels about shifters and them figuring out their powers, and there is a whole lot of drama and shit, and we are sitting here, literally experiencing it and acting all stupid and stuff because we can't figure out how to do what we were destined, designed and determined to do. There probably is someone who is watching us struggle and thinks to themselves: "You have the powers right at your hands just use them", how stupid of me to read it so many times, over and over and not take it as literal as it is.
As always I hope I was able to provide you with the help that you are looking for, and if never be too shy to ask me anything ❣️
and remember: You literally know you have shifting powers, JUST USE THEM!!!!
a lot of love and a big, big sorry to Katy Swartz
Evie <3

Just 'some' CPC future HCs according to Seasons
As I used to say that CPC is the only webtoon that I wish have many spin off episodes, if want to tell in orders then what I wish to happened (as now we're likely at the end of the Autumn now which feels like ready to be winter anytime). These moments feels like a perfect spin-off materials 0.0
CPC in Winter
The Dealing (like conclusion) for the Omniscient Clam & Frederick inititated to CPC as way to eases his recurring nightmares
Tumblr media
-> If the Clam actually a cursed artifact that can't be negotiated, I want CPC members to destroy it with their curse (like simply make Aurelia vomit on it?)
-> but if they could be negotiated, I somehow think 'switching "power" spell' could works between Nell and the Clam (as both have premonition abilities) - this make the Clam weakened (it didn't have all knowledge of the word, only future ones as bad omens) and will 'dying' when it's time come [as not prolongig it's life again with it's asker life force - if that theory becomes true] while Nell gaining knowledges that limited to curses-cures which helping CPC members that want to be free from their curse - with kinda ridiculous rules like only at the start of the month etc - but at least Nell didn't need to suck out anyone life's force
Tumblr media
-> Frederick isn't left unscathed with all pains and mental tortures that he experienced espc during the time he got imprisonment, and have recurring nightmares daily at the CPC which make him both so embarassed and horrified to everyone. CPC planning him a slumber party where he finally could get his peace, hugging his inner child and could sleep peacefully as he let go painful things at the past
CPC in Spring
Maria's first public recital at the Pastel plaza (Spring time) & Frederick+Leopold+Jamie 'secretly' making a movement to improve the quality of cursed people life
Tumblr media
-> one thing that I forgor between winter-spring: Leopold fixing all 'scary looking' Lilyth/Leelathea's potrait (espc if the theory that Lilyth still in this word as lingering soul/ghost is true, then she could cancel out her second dying wish and wishing that she want her potraits could be hung up in the Pastel palace) - and Jack's bubble that bursted out by Leland's betrayal could finally begin to heals - he begin to supporting all his children's dreams
Tumblr media
-> Maria finally could hosting her first public recital (but idk if in this point, she'll forgives Blaine or not=if she forgives him, then the recital could accompanied by Blaine. If not, Leopold could convinces his cousin prince Griffin to help instead). The sure thing, Maria did a power move to dedicated her song to CPC - as the unsung heroes that's really help Pastel kingdom in the crisis + she's afraid of her kingdom's folk views to CPC
-> but turn out everyone in the Pastel kingdom already warms up with CPC (starting from the Pastel plaza shopkeeper, because they're already familiar enough with CPC members doing daily activities there and totally okay with their condition being cursed people)
+ some people that don't meet CPC members personally, turn out already warmed out to them from 'secret movement' of the trio Frederick-Jamie-Leopold (give me insight of the trio name.. what if LeoMieBook?) - as quite some time before Maria's recital, Frederick making brochures to give awareness of what the curses actually is and highlighting that cursed people is not that different with others too (they're have rights and deserved rights, so like ep 100 [curses] but in positive light) ; Leopold in charge of making the arts on the brochure so it's more eye-catching + mass-producing the brochures ; while Jamie the one that shares it (similar pose with young Jack did to artifact's rights)
Tumblr media
CPC in Summer
Tumblr media
-> CPC got huge renovations (remember that the front side of the mansion look too beaten down because the construction crew/Carpenters are so afraid to Jolie and Thermidora?) - the construction crew that used to want fend off 'the possum witch' now after learn CPC actually is, become the main crew of the renovation project
Tumblr media
--> As the outside form of CPC got reform, so is the inside. Prez decides to make delegations of tasks in CPC + the sad news that Thermidora decides to back as her lobster form (in doing so, also to guarding the Omniscient Clam in the ocean of her kingdom) so does Nell&Jolie that decides to marry in the winter (Nell want to stays in Lace kingdom, and Jolie want to spread the 'respect cursed people' movement to her kingdom too) which makes them will leaving CPC
-> CPC kinda devastated with the news of 3 members will leave at once, but they're promised to plan the best "graduation" ceremony possible for them + also revealation that Aurelia find the cure for her curse, but declared that even when she's cured - she's still want to stays in CPC
Also the delegation of the tasks is like what Isaac write in here : and with my personal intake writing it as list:
Prez: she's the face (or ambrassador if could) of CPC - she's still doing what she used to do (like protecting CPC members and recon) but passing the jobs to other members + being the informant as having spidey sense still stays thou
Curtis: wikia said that he't the co-owner of CPC, I have mixed thought about it due to it never explicitly say in CPC (because from what I see, is more of Curtis accompanying Prez in scooping potential new members0 - so, well.. he doing what he used to do but with workload burden lessen up - as CPC respects Curtis' job more and even learn to become better in chores which immensely helpful to Curtis
Whitney: he's hosting 'new lecture (as variation of Prez')' which are some routine of meditation/yoga session to CPC members, which really helpful to calm CPC members nerves espc to Monika
Saffron: the minister of hearing, and the official gardener of the CPC. The beautiful CPC's garden become the favorite place to telling any woes from CPC members that latter will decided as urgent (as need haste? or need club-wide meeting?) or could be handled later on
Frederick: once he has a room in CPC, he turns his room to be like a library. He'll become the hot in the future librarian of the CPC while helping to plan any wide-club activities in CPC (like slumber party, or give pointers to Prez' lectures [which now not solely from Prez, but any member that want to share anything is free to do so]. He's also the leader of the WO (wedding organizer) comittee for Nell and Jolie
Gwendolyn: the most cute and kindest CPC member which now in the spin-off speisodes she already learn to self-love nicely, she's become another emotional support for CPC members - she might still working on her communication skill, but her cookings def brightens anyone's day + like Whitney, she hosting 'special lectures' like how to cook simple breakfasts/bake cookies/sewing things (Frederick might kind of worrying Gwen as it could be 'too much' sometimes, but with their improved relationship - she often consulting to Frederick first about her lecture ideas and accept his help to prepare the lectures)
Abbi, Monika and Syrah (they're grouped together because often together, and have special dynamic of "kinda not trusting people easily, but will if the opportunity arrive): which them together seems to be perfect recon team for potential members (so the recon mission not solely fall to Prez) with their personas; Abbi is very bold and honestly 'violent' to reveal true side of potential member; Syrah could tell people if lying or not-as professional lie-er herself; Monika being a crow could scope the location first to determine the place of potential member is safe or not first
Aurelia: the appointed vice-prez, as her insights that differs with Prez ideals actually give much-needed insights to find the middle of balance. Also, Aurelia seems to be one of the members that genuinely like Prez' lectures (remember that she's jealous of Gwen because one of it as being 'new member', could help to decides the lecture topic?)
Tumblr media
10. Renee: one of the most eager member that want her curse be removed, I theorized that in this summer timeframe - she already cured along with Aurelia, but like her best friend she decides to stays in CPC as well. She's helping Aurelia which becomes vice-prez to improve CPC 'from background characters' perspective'
11. Thermidora as said before, return back to her kingdom as finally back to be a lobster princess - and together with the baron Benedict she'll guard the omniscient clam
12. Nell and Jolie kinda like the inter-kingdom relation division, as Lace kingdom personally supporting CPC with any way they could along with 'positive perspective' kingdoms that CPC members are - Metallic, Foliage, Neon, Quilt, Polygon + Plaid and Pastel as defensive support from Lance and Lorena and Suzanna
Also in June (aka Summer), there's a wedding!
Tumblr media
the sommelier and George wedding! Jamie sure will be invited (as he's literally the reason they're together), but IDK if CPC members is invited too - but if they are it will be interesting to see reactions of more people accepting CPC. It will be a lovely event to witness definetely
Also with preparing Nell and Jolie's wedding + got invited to a wedding, this make me think that Gwen - or from Frederick as well - to have idea to preparing their own wedding and feels quite ready to have it 'soon' (I think the fastest, and I think it's quite okay too alrdy - to have Frederick and Gwendolyn marry 2 years after their first meeting which make them 18 & 19 y.o - and quite already healed from things + they're improved a lot as person as marriage actually like this, is not the ending part of relationship but actually the beginning - to become better, together
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CPC in Autumn - anniversary of the canon events
-> Autumn at CPC more of parties in sense, with reflecting and reminiscent what happened so far one year ago - this also could be turning point if CPC (Prez espc) want CPC to not just a club or turns out to be kind of a school
Tumblr media
also if Gwen's potrait still not getting back from the Cosmopolitan Princesses Conservatory - it's time for action to getting it back then hang it to our lovely CPC
Tumblr media
^ Poor Gwen's potrait there NGL ;-; thrown hapzhardly
EXTRA : WEDDINGS
-> Nell and Jolie's wedding in the winter that year with theme "Winter Wonderland" and nice wedding cake that Gwen personally made with more of their colors (pink/purple/red) :
Tumblr media
-> Frederick seems impartial to any seasons, while Gwen favorite season is Autumn - and here we got the season of their wedding. I feel it will lovely to held it at evening while the fallen leaves that changing colors is softly fly away - the wedding hold outdoor in the forest of the CPC. Everyone are invited (even Princels, which somehow I think get some 'betterment' in this final season and in 'okay' relationship with CPC), Frederick had make up and forgives his families (except Leland-he deserved it) but the best man isn't his brothers but Whitney, Gwendolyn have hard time to decides who'll be her bride maid among CPC members (feel free to reply or blog who's feel the best on that role, is: Prez? Syrah? Abbi? Aurelia? Monika?) while her siblings having the role of: Maria that singing the love songs in her dear sister wedding, Lorena guards this 'inter-kingdom' wedding event while Jamie the one that do the catering (aside from the wedding cake that Gwen made herself for her own wedding (it will be mainly white with Green pastel and plaid decorations around) - it's not bad omen okay amirite aameen
EDIT: EXTRA
I've just remember about the time skip vote (Isaac's polling) about what people want for CPC in the future - thus here my personal intake in the form of HC's on the following options!
"The Princels change as people and disband their group, but stay friends" - there's only one named Princel so far which is Orson, and we didn't have name yet for the 'shorty' and 'the big ear' one - but just theorized they're from Zig zag and Beige kingdom respectively. I really hope they could changes for the better, deep down they're good people (like helping Prez to find Nell, and never exposing CPC actually) - it's just they're still 'jerks' with toxic mentality of Incels. Out of all the 3, Orson likely the one that could changes to be better - or probably if they could get chance to see that Blaine isn't really "perfect" - they could change? One will see -
"The Pastel siblings visit the Braided Island and meet their grandparents" -> I truly want this to happen, as does many people - this option is the winner after all. But one thing that should be thread with caution: Leelathea/Lilyth could be seen as 'stolen/kidnapped' by the 'weird strange man' which is Jack ~ around 23 years ago of their current story. So, I am afraid this visit could go smoothingly if they're didn't make necessary preparations before go to the Braided Island (like, maybe braiding their hairs too and give offerings?). Also one of the HC/theory that I wish could happen, Lilyth is still stays in their world as 'corporeal spirit' - might smoothen things between the could-be hostility that could arise from the Braided Island folks especially their grandparents. Btw I really hope that the 2 characters of CPC that really want to going on 'adventures' which are Frederick and Prez Calpernia could follow along with the Pastel siblings. Frederick to able to see a 'mythical island' where people that look like his fiance & Prez to have adventure which what she used to can't do as 'model princess' can't really do before.
Abbi's curse is cured -> along with Renee TBH! Because those two seems the CPC members that the most eager to have their curse got cured (remember the episode [at the end of the gala]?) - not sure how but my theory is the witch could halps, as her knowledge about curses also might have some about the cures too. BTW this option is similar to CPC bingo with one of the block is 'someone curse is cured' 0.0
Whitney reunites with Blacquelyn -> well, this problematic...
Tumblr media
Because this.. For Whitney, I think he won't return to his kingdom willingly... He probably could try to fix his family thou - but doing so I think it means the breaking down of the Monochrome kingdom entirely because his sister clearly can't lead, his brother become a dog, the whole kingdom of his seems totally unhabitable... prob could be changes it to become an inter-kingdom prison for someone 'in high position' but irredeemable like Leland?
For Whitney it kinda complicated but one thing for sure: he won't willingly return back to Monochrome kingdom, and if he ever do it solely to fix the broken heaps of his kingdom rn = the supposed king Greyden cursed to be a dog by his sister that kinda gone crazy? I have no idea how Whitney could save his kingdom, if that has chance to be saved at all - but I think his interactions with Frederick (that at same time will healing himself from the toxicities of the Plaid kingdom) making him to fix his relationship with his siblings I think his priority is fix his Family, and for the monochrome kingdom idk how it ends but I feel it need to change the leadership system - like no need monarchy (espc if Greyden can't be cured) and changes it to something like democracy ig? or breaks ultimately

Hi! :) Just wanted to say I finally got around to watching Bates Motel (finished season 4 today, so, a whole more season to go) and oh my goodness, I am BLOWN to pieces already. I think the last couple of episodes of season 4 will stay with me forever, Norman going full on insane and poisoning Norma, Romero's grief, the funeral scene and then, of course, the final one with the... body and Chritmas hallucinations. I just sat there for whole twenty minutes in total shock after the credits and cried. It was so nerve wrecking, devastating, sad and horrifying at the same time, and the acting and emotions are just PHENOMENAL. I don't think I'm quite ready for season 5, to be honest, but I already want to rewatch the whole show later. Um, I hope it's okay to talk to you about this. I remembered you said you loved Bates Motel and I want to say this again, YOUR TASTE ROCKS. I see why it left such a huge impact on you and I feel like it's already left an impact on me too. CHILLS. I love this, and I hate this, because the show is so beautifully made and the atmosphere is just... chef's kiss, I loved how many emotions it made me feel but god is it terrifying. P.S. After I'm finished get ready to me reblogging a whole bunch of Bates Motel content from your blog, because 1) I'm wrecked and 2) I've always loved YOUR posts and analysis, and I really want to know your thoughts. Also, if there are some articles\posts\analysis written by you or other people which you love and think are important, I would LOVE to read those as well. No pressure of course! P.P.S. Dylan and Emma are my darlings, they are so sweet together my heart melts, I love them and worry about them :(
hello my darling!!! it is ALWAYS okay to talk to me about things, and ahhhhh i love being able to share them. SO SPOOKY BECAUSE I WAS THINKING ABOUT BATES MOTEL THIS MORNING. (i still have not finished it. three episodes to go and i keep holding onto them...inexplicable behavior.) instead of finishing it, i looped back around and was rewatching it, and i need to go back to that.
the last two episodes of S4, i feel like i could write copious essays about them. they're just some of the most masterful television i've ever seen. every adjective you used: nerve-wracking, devastating, horrifying. tragic and yet rendered with such poignancy. the scene of norman quietly, deliberately walking through the hushed house, closing the vents, the eerie strains of mr. sandman playing over it, the flame of the pilot light, shots of the empty rooms already haunted, is on my list of top searing images rendered in a show. and it's so, so much more effective and impactful that what he's doing isn't out of rage or hatred, but out of a terribly warped sense of love, dedication, and protection. he isn't trying to destroy her because he hates her, because he feels suffocated by her, but because he's so lost that he believes they're too broken, he believes this will give them peace and reunion. it wouldn't be nearly as moving if he were acting out of anything but that distorted love. then his eulogy. the graveyard. the house and motel transforming for christmas. it's kind of a perfect distillation of modern gothic horror, because it's gruesome and cataclysmic, but somehow beautiful. and oh, alex romero. his searing agonizing grief and his mad rage. what really crushes me is both of these men, though they proclaim love and devotion to her, never entirely view norma as her own autonomous being - norma is always filtered through their needs and desires, their idealizations of her, the pedestals they want to put her on, the dreams they have of and for her. norma, in the entirety of who she is, only exists for us. the audience. we see her, and know her, in her whole self, with her agency, apart from the various men circling her, using her, wanting things from her, and there's nothing we can do to save her. we know going in that the basement awaits. the show's greatest magic trick is in getting us to sympathize and fall in love with her so that the impact of wrenching her away is still shocking and unfair. i sat in numb silence and shock after the end of 4x09, and wept after 4x10.
I remembered you said you loved Bates Motel and I want to say this again, YOUR TASTE ROCKS. 🥺😭💔💖 thank you so much, this makes me so happy (can we say that in this context?!) and is an honor.
I love this, and I hate this, because the show is so beautifully made and the atmosphere is just... chef's kiss, I loved how many emotions it made me feel but god is it terrifying. same on all counts.
my #bates motel tag is open to any time, there's always a vacancy for you. 😉 i'm certain there's good meta on here (unfortunately a lot of blogs are inactive or deactivated), i feel like i probably have some posts, but the only ones i could pull up quickly were my own? this one, on norma, and a simple one of literary references. if you find more, please send them my way too! i would love to read them and any more of your thoughts you'd like to share!!!
P.P.S. Dylan and Emma are my darlings, they are so sweet together my heart melts, I love them and worry about them :( something that took me quite by surprise was how much i grew to care about and empathize with both dylan and romero (emma's a sweetie from the beginning!), you wouldn't necessarily expect it, and yet the show did such a phenomenal job of building each character's depth and humanity, and really exploring the layers to them, why they do what they do, without the need to vilify them (the same being most prominently true of norma and norman themselves), and i respect that writing immensely, even when it's difficult and terrifying, it never forgets the human element.

Well, if it's not hate, it sure seems like a ton of animosity is directed at him and the comic, something I just don't understand. So, he, for the sake of argument, doesn't write the characters or write the stories the way you and others want him to. I can see how that could be frustrating, but at the same time this sounds miserable and not particularly very fun.
Some critics here on tumblr come across as very vitriolic, obnoxious, and unhinged. Check out this exchange for example: https://kellodrawsalot.tumblr.com/post/688674541689536512/you-know-as-much-as-i-really-dislike-sonics
The OP even stated they didn't like Sonic's characterization, but that wasn't enough for them because OP dared criticize their behavior. I remember when I was aggressively attacked by a very prominent anti-IDW tumblr user simply for expressing how I didn't think Tails cowering in Sonic Forces was really all that bad, being completely understandable given the context. And before you bring up the actions of bad IDW fans, I don't condone those either.
Frankly, I don't see how saying it's just entertainment and if one doesn't like it, they should stop engaging with it makes me a "clown". By the way, completely uncalled for and not putting yourself in a good light. It's a perfectly valid argument, especially with how obsessed some on here act about it, instigating and perpetuating toxic drama. Moreover, some folks seem to make complaining about the comics and Flynn their entire personalities and circlejerk about it near-constantly.
As for "stanning" Ian Flynn, I have no doubt some do that, but those people aren't worth engaging with. The vast majority of fans I've ever interacted with admit the man isn't perfect by any means and is not above criticism.
Here's a post from the TrekBBS forums that I feel fits the situation:
"I agree with you. Sometimes they just don't know when to quit. It gets old. I was going through a rough patch in life at the time DSC premiered, I was glad to have Trek back, and I thought it was the best Trek in a long time. For me, it was something to take my mind off the Hell my life had become at the time...
... and some people here don't realize the other point of view. What's trash to them is treasure to someone else. Or they don't care. I think criticism is one thing. But to deliberately go out of your way to rain on someone's parade on purpose is something else. Especially once you know you're pissing people off and do it anyway. I never did that in the VOY or ENT Forums when those shows were going. My belief was, and still is: "Let the people enjoy their shows."
I think there's a distinction between coming on to talk about a show and coming on to just bully people. I think there's a distinction between offering constructive criticism and offering nothing but hatred and bile. And if someone is still hating a show five years after it premiered, that's five years of dedication to hatred. That's not normal. That's not healthy. I wish they'd stop turning DSC into a punching bag and face whatever it is that's making them use it as one."
One more from the TrekBBS forum:
"There's actually so much great TV these days. I find it better to spend time watching shows I like rather than stomping around online shitting on stuff. Latest example for me is the Halo show. I watched 2 episodes, had enough of that and done. Others are enjoying it and good for them. I watched Yellowjackets instead and loved it.
I really do need to give Discovery Season 4 another shot. I watched the first 2 or 3 and then just didn't feel compelled to go back, but it might have been due to my mood at the time as opposed to the quality of it.
To me, TV is not something sufficiently important to be angry about. It's all just entertainment."
@randomthefox you wanna take this? This is a lot to unpack.

On This Season
This season is dedicated to hard work. "Did you think this would be easy" is something I keep being reminded of. I have to earn my softness, work through the mud to reach the gold. There are certain themes I keep seeing and I always feel like that's how God speaks to me. I could run away from something to the best of my abilities but when He wants me to learn something, He keeps it in my face. A few themes of late:
Wisdom
"It's one thing to pray for wealth, but the wisdom to maintain it is even more important". I don't know if it has anything to do with me growing older but I desire wisdom more and more each day. I realize how much I need it to navigate this rollercoaster we call life. And the Bible is so clear that all we need to do is ask for it, it's readily available. Ask and He will give, seek and you will find. He is kind and gracious and provides wisdom as an alternative to our foolish mistakes.
If I want to be a good friend, a good wife, a good entrepreneur, a good mum, I need wisdom more than anything. I want it to be evident in my speech, in my actions and in my appearance. I envision it like honey, dripping down.
Random revelation on the power of negative self talk, positive and kind words to ourselves also provide healing to both the soul and the body.
2. Pride/Ego
Pride feels so much like a spirit. It affects you and me, it jumps out unprovoked. Like an animal out of a cage. There are so many warnings about pride and its quite alarming how much energy we spend on growing this spirit. My generation is extremely self-centered, and I am no better. We demand more, more attention, more of self. With my career, pride can easily lead to thinking you are way more important than you actually are. Right now I'm on the journey to not letting pride and inflation of self ruin my friendships and relationships. A few verses on pride:
3. Promotion
In light of recent events at my workplace, I keep being reminded that true promotion or elevation comes from God. He has the power to give and to take away and he will deem me worthy when the time comes. I never want to pray for something and mishandle it when its awarded to me. In this period of waiting, I pray God molds my leadership abilities.

TroPre Ep 11: Moar Laura development, YEARSH!
Tumblr media
Last week marked one of the usual Precure season checkpoints in the form of the first group attack...but it also signaled the start of anticipation for the next event: mid-season Cure debut.
Now it would be dumb to say anything against Laura becoming Cure La Mer especially if you’ve seen the leaks already when the next 10 episodes are purposely set up to bring her closer to earning that title.
Though far from perfect, she’s already shown that she does care for others beside herself (especially when it comes to Manatsu) and this episode further highlights how much she’s changed just by hanging around with the other girls.
Laura, the selfish and conceited mermaid, has learned what it means to be lonely.
Tumblr media
First sign, the curiosity and yearning for what’s beyond the sea.
Before, Laura scoffed at the idea of the human world, thinking it as an inferior realm to the mermaids’ one.
However, after spending some time up at the surface, she finally admits that there a things here that “aren’t so bad” (haha, ever the tsun).
Tumblr media
Then the sand art contest.
It’s an activity for everyone to enjoy and have fun together...except Laura because the team can’t risk people discovering there’s a mermaid among them.
She tries to act like it doesn’t affect her, like it’s a trivial matter for one who aims to be Queen (again, throwing up that tsun wall really high) and such...
Tumblr media
But the more she tries to deny it and use “taking embarrassing pictures” as an excuse to hide her own restlessness, the more it becomes apparent that she hates being left out.
Why?
Because she never had friends before Precure, I assume.
She was always fine just being absorbed in her own world, where she’s the center of everything. She was convinced she didn’t need anyone, just pawns to order around to do her bidding.
The Cures didn’t give her that sort of satisfaction. Instead, their presence didn’t just force Laura to see them as necessary allies...but that they were her equals as well.
Tumblr media
If Laura didn’t remotely view them as such, she would not be this upset over not being able to participate.
Frankly, a mermaid doesn’t need to make sand art. It serves her no purpose whatsoever.
But that fact that she can’t do it because she’s a mermaid bothers her most of all.
They are always together...so being told that she’s not allowed to join them, it stings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then we take another step further.
Manatsu’s worried that the sand art will collapse under the rain and wants to preserve them so as not to waste the participants’ efforts.
What does Laura do? Go “hmph!”, turn up her nose and not care since she wasn’t included?
No! She showed Manatsu a way to protect the sand art by suggesting the parachutes as a cover.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manatsu thanks her...and Laura smiles at that. No trace of smugness either.
Even though she couldn’t come out of the Aqua Pot and play in the sand with the rest of them, at least she was still able to contribute to it in some way.
In fact, it was perhaps the most important one since it prevented the contest from being totally ruined (not counting the Yaraneda appearance).
And Laura’s actually satisfied with that. She didn’t even demand thanks afterwards (if she did, it would’ve been shown), she was just glad she could play a part.
Tumblr media
Yet the “problem” remains. She’s still a mermaid and that greatly limits her to staying in the Aqua Pot when the team does stuff that are not Precure-related.
Laura’s world has expanded. It’s not just only her anymore. It includes the other girls as well.
Being the one who’s the most different in their group...will make her wish there was some way she could be more like them so she doesn’t have to be alone.
This is what’s becoming most important to her...more than wanting to become Queen!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And oh, this part!
Laura not only thought that there was no need to thank her (it wasn’t like it was a brilliant idea or anything)...but that she didn’t deserve thanks either because the entire time, she was just watching everyone from inside the Pot. She “didn’t really do anything” that warrants gratitude.
Like...wow? This coming from a mermaid who’s always looking for validation? Insisting praise be heaped on her for just existing?
Hmmmmm...... :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then Manatsu proclaims they’ll definitely do something together next time.
It’s not clear whether she picked up Laura’s feelings on being left out or not...but obviously, Manatsu sees Laura as just as important as anyone else. Her being a mermaid makes no difference, she’s still a friend and as friends, they’re going to stick together!
Laura’s unsure because it’s not like just saying things will change anything...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But the fact that Manatsu wants to spend time with her, wants her to be included in everything their team does, it renders Laura unable to argue back.
Laura can’t find it in herself to dismiss the offer with her usual haughty façade.
She gives a meek “okay” because she wants it too.
She wants to hang with the other girls. She wants to have fun with them. She wants to not be the only one in her own universe anymore.
And to make that wish come true, she will inevitably change.

Scenario with Agapito: reader is laying on his chest with minimal clothing and they’re watching Netflix in bed, the show YOU
Episode 2 season 2 particularly: when Joe shoved jasper through the meat grinder. It would be the perfect episode for him to flaunt his protective side
Tumblr media
With the window open the smell of cigarettes and the slightest hint of weed from the last time Agapito got his weekly high slowly got replaced by the night air. The vanilla pumpkin candle on the same bedside table agapito stashed his cigarettes helped quite a bit to settle you two down into each other's embrace as well. Crickets chirping with the occasional sound of a car passing as you two focus on the tv Agapito dragged out of the common room to his bedroom just for his angel and their want to lay down on him with all the warmth of a bed to keep you two all cuddled up.
To be honest if agapito knew you liked this show of an obsessive and dedicated lover then surely he would've been able to be himself around you sooner than he did. "YOU" is certainly something he can relate to, admiring the way Joe's thoughts almost completely reflect his own from time to time. Even better is that you not only see the similarities in their love language of smotheringly protective but also in their voices, a similarity that Agapito wouldn't notice until you eventually set up a recording of his and Joe Goldbergs voice up against each other, but that can be done another time.
Right now it's time for nothing more than laying on this man's chest in just the right position where you can see the tv that's awkwardly placed on his wardrobe, all the items that were once somewhat organized on top still pushed aside to make room so you two can watch a unstable man pin after a bold love interest. It's almost funny how much the character "Love" reminds him of you, straight forward and not taking shit yet loving and mothering, and when Agapito mentions it to you he makes sure to have you sat up on your elbow just so he can see your smile. "It's true though," he says through a smile, tugging you back into his chest, wanting to feel the softness of your skin against his once more "you're amazing like that, naturally" a sigh following as you squirm with his arm around you trying to get back in the perfect position again
Moments like this are what he wakes up for every morning to feel, even if he keeps falling asleep promptly after his first or second alarm it's the feeling of you in his arms that encourages him, the gentle touch he treasures. Content in this moment with you happily pressed against his torso even if you two are focusing on another's relationship on the screen. At least he gets to randomly smooch kisses onto the top of your hair as he admires the curves highlighted by the candle light he can see from this angle, each of which he would love to caress if the arm closest wasn't busy keeping you squished in a snuggly hold.
It wasn't until the moment Joe started cleaning up the body of Jasper that Agapito even dared contemplating disturbing this moment. He's sure you've watched this plenty of times without flinching before he came around, though that doesn't dismiss the fact your lover doesn't want you seeing a single bit of brutality that isn't necessary. Ignoring the way you whine at him while he sits up, basically forcing you up as well, awkwardly leaning on his bare stomach as Agapito scoops his hand under the side of your face promoting you to focus solely on him. No need to spare the slightest of glances towards the main character making deep cuts to dismember and grind down the body of his victim when you're facing agapitos sudden attack of kisses, "don't take your attention off me" being mumbled between each love sick smooch, not even caring if the scene has passed or not anymore, completely lost in you as he pulls his angel on top of his lap. You can continue watching when Agapito's done with what he started.
Pressed closer to each other certainly helps beat off the cold that's beginning to come through the window yet still he manages to bring shivers to each part his hand traces, from your bare hips all the way up your spine, a evil smiling making its way to the corners of his mouth as he feels the shutter travel up your spine. Only at the feeling of you slapping his shoulder will agapito stop, breathing as heavy as your own though still very proud of his actions. "I just wanted to chill, man," despite being out of breath and obviously flustered you managed to speak that, quickly shoving your body back against his own in a cuddly position where he couldn't dare pull you back into intoxicating kisses. "Is that why you leaned into each kiss?" A quick snap with a cocky tone before you slapped his shoulder once more "Oh, hush", and he complied, satisfied with the amount of love he basically stole from you as he relaxes once more with a new part of the same episode playing in front of you two.

Hey dear 😊🌸
So I just saw someone asked you which male genshin character you'd ship them with if you knew their zodiac sign and mbti. So I thought you'd maybe do that for me as well? I'd you don't want to that's fine!🙈
I'm a november scorpio and pretty much exactly how you'd imagine it. My mbti is ISFJ-T
As for my personality: I'm super witty/flirty with my s/o. I love nature and whenever I see a cat I take my time to pet it! I also just left the house to collect dandelion for my turtle at the graveyard so I'm v soft for animals in general (not a dog person though). I also bring home bees when I see them on the ground to give them sugar water (I used to bring it with me all the time).
I'm organized and I like to stick to a plan rather than being thrown out in the unknown. But maybe that's something I should dare more often? I work alone and take care of paperwork. I like being all by myself a lot it's calming and helps me to de-stress. So I guess I could need someone more adventurous that would put me out there and challenge me?
I'm into dark academia/light academia. I love psychology as you know. Books are my favorite. Personally feel the most drawn to Inazuma. My fav seasons would be autumn and winter, I actually like being cold. My test results said I'd have a cryo vision which isn't surprising, hehe.
On the other hand I'm insecure and tend to get jealous because of that. I went through a lot of trauma and need a partner that will make sure to calm me down and take care of me and listen properly. Depression hits at least once a day so someone that's able to cheer me up with their humor or calm side would be awesome. I come off as a cold ass, but I can be very soft if you get to know me better, cliché scorpio.
Thank you so much and dont forget to drink the clear sauce and have a rest! Don't forget you dont have to do this!!!💕
HELLO PRINCESS 😘
It was a difficult one, ngl
I would ship you with Kazuha. He, just like you, has very close connection with nature and he would be more than happy to drag you with him for all sorts of tiny trips or even bigger adventures! I know you're the home body type and you prefer being alone but he will take you out of your shell while respecting your boundaries. You'll not feel that he is forcing you to do anything, quite to the contrary, his mellow and sensitive nature causes that you actually want to accompany him because it is all so new and therefore exciting. He fascinates you and you're drawn to him like a magnet.
Kazuha, being very observant, knows when to leave you alone to your thoughts, to let you think and recharge your batteries. He, more than anyone realises the importance of self-introspection. However, he won't let you sulk in the corner for too long, expect him to come and surprise you with a soft peck on the cheek and a sweetly murmured haiku that he has just written for you 💕
He is very romantic and dedicated. Kazuha won't let you feel jealous, always ready to prove his feelings for you by the smallest of things, but how meaningful. He can be cheesy sometimes but well, isn't that part of his charm? 🤭 Let him recite these poems for you, hold your hand while he takes you out for one of your walks around Kazuha's homeland, kisses you breathless under the shadow of the sakura tree when you least expect it.
You need his spontaneous nature and child-like curiosity that will open your eyes to new possibilities but also will very often put a smile to your face. Depression with Kazuha? I don't think that's entirely possible. This short man is the walking image of posititivity, calmness, stoicism and he always tries to see the bright side of things that have happened to him, even though it might have been awful. He will listen to your problems, good and bad stories from the past, will let you vent and you will find yourself pouring your heart out for this caring and loving man. Kazuha will always offer a word of advice that you will cherish and remember.
Intimacy between you two? ❤️ Oh, dear me. *blushes hard* 🤭 you two can be quite intense, no? ❤️ Kazuha will love your flirtatious advances and let me just tell you that he will be exceptionally responsive to whatever you do or say. Although he might appear innocent he definitely isn't lol 😂 he will be a passionate lover, not afraid to explore your sexuality and ready to satisfy all of your needs. The chemistry between you two is just through the roof *fans myself* honestly, what are you waiting for???? Go and collect your man 🤭

Keeping Up A-fear-ance's Thoughts
I finished writing this shortly after 3 am after watching the new episode like three times because I simply had too much energy about it and I have so many thoughts because I simply live for clawthornes and also I tried to break it up with more photos this time sorry not sorry if it's a lot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
YOUNG EDA!! let me just say I am quite a fan of opening with a flashback like we've done here and the last episode
"we have never seen a curse like this before" Lilith you had shit luck picking out curses huh
"cut it out if we have to" goddamn Gwen let'a calm the fuck down a bit.
anyways we've only really seen young Eda as a wild and confident and happy little child so I appreciate seeing this side of her with the anxiety and fear she's feeling here. I love seeing what the curse stuff was like for her as a kid
Gwen: I raised a perfectly fine kid
Me: no you didn't look at her she's got anxiety
Tumblr media
I'm guessing this is their backyard or just some woods behind their house?? wonder if the portal was placed there by another elder family member.
lmao I can't even begin to imagine what small Eda experiencing the human realm was like for the first time
Gwens giving me "I can't accept that my child is disabled/chronically ill/etc." here. y’know the kinda parent that'll put their kid through hell over something they probably will find a way to learn to live with (which Eda did do)
ok that's it I humbly request to know the story behind the fang now (also the noise she made when she put it in was freaking cute)
new dress! new boots! new dress! new boots!
Tumblr media
..yikes that fridge is empty
"calm down the curse acts stronger when you're stressed" Eda do you know who you're talking to here
confirmation losing limbs is in fact a side effect of the curse!! (y'know since Eda originally said it just happens when you get older)
please I love these sisters they're so sweet and make me wanna go 🥺
"suddenly curious about my past" "always. always curious" Luz says exactly what we all think
witchlet?? sweet flea?? she's got pet names for them 🥺 (although idk how much I'd like to be referred to as any kind of flea sorry Lilith)
ok Gwen is very much not close to what I expected and I'm kinda grateful for that
she's more like super caring but still managed to royally fuck up which was my original head canon for clawthorne parents so uh that's cool. but literally, look at their body language, Eda's pissed, Lilith's sad and making herself small. she's clearly messed up with her parenting on both of them along the way.
Tumblr media
"who knows what they put in those nasty concoctions?" mama clawthorne would be a fucking anti-vaxxer wouldn't she
ok I side with Eda here more than Luz and Lilith. just because Luz misses her mother, or Lilith hasn’t seen their mom in so long doesn’t mean Eda has to feel all grateful for the presence of Gwen, especially if the woman has caused her a lot of trouble over the years
I feel like the fact that its actually both Lilith and Gwendolyn have spent their whole lives dedicated to trying to find a cure could probably have held some kind of weight on Eda at some point. Even though she shouldn't feel guilty or responsible for that, I still feel like it's gotta suck knowing these people have spent so much time on something you know is likely never gonna happen, all for you.
Lilith 😞 her mother really just didn't pay attention to her all these years
hey if this guy does some next level healing magic then why isn't he more well-known, huh? why’d it take so long to come across him?? Gwen do you know what the fuck you're doing cause I think you don't
Lilith just because you're depressed about your mom doesn't mean you have to bring king down too 😠
SUPER irrelevant but is anyone else just bothered by the way Lilith is holding her spoon?? that doesn't seem like a comfortable way to hold a spoon. also is she left handed??
Tumblr media
"knife season came early" EDA WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. is this a boiling isles things or is this a it’s common for people to throw knives at you thing
also I want to be surprised Eda fell for the apple blood signs but I am not 😔 
Luz please trust you're gut on this one and not mama clawthorne
ok now I need to know why the fridge was empty but they had 18 cartons of ice cream this is why you guys don't have food you're wasting it all on ice cream.
Tumblr media
wow never thought I'd see the day hooty became the voice of reason
also, night market ice cream?? are they implying this ice cream is like, edibles of some sort?? Lilith does seem kinda high here ngl. idk man but at least she wants to stand up for herself so good for her.
PLEASE kings just offering her ice cream while she transforms
"first in a series" Gwen honey oh no. you've been duped. I think we can see where Lilith got her naïveté from huh.
Also, nice snatch Luz 😊
anyways love how this show is basically making fun of moms who refuse to give their kids proper medical treatment or listen to medical professionals here
EXCUSE ME why do we know Gwen's palisman's name before we know Lilith's?????
"I am a mother who'll do anything for her daughter" you're mom who's suffocating obsession with one daughter has left the other neglected and is currently causing her to turn into a full on beast ya dummy
Eda DOES have a right to be upset. it sucks that her own valid emotions that she should get to feel will cause her while body to betray her.
PLEASE I’M SO GLAD LILITH’S BEAST DESIGN LOOKS LIKE HER AND IS NOT THE THING FROM THE TRAILER THAT IS ACTUALLY IN EDA"S HEAD WHEN SHE’S TRANSFORMED
but also why is she SO massive?? also anyone concerned that this is her first transformation and the light glyph trick wouldn't even work??
Tumblr media
Gwen look at what you've done, you've fostered feelings of inferiority in one daughter causing her to feel the need for sibling rivalry that the pure instincts of the raven beast cannot suppress no matter how much their sisterly relationship had improved.
HOW COULD YOUR OTHER DAUGHTER ALSO BEING CURSED BE A PART OF THE PROCESS GWEN??
"after Eda was cursed, I joined the beast keeping coven" woah woah WOAH. you're telling me you only joined because of trying to help Eda. that covens existed, before Eda got cursed, and you very much weren't a part of one. combine that with "some words for belos" she has and do I smell wild witch theory still plausible???
anyways at least mama clawthorne is getting some sense into her head here
Morton c'mon help a girl out, that's some dang good art too what the heck dude
ok fine mama clawthorne to the rescue
no pls not raven beast Lilith crying im crying now
Gwen: I raised a fine and self-sufficient child
Me: no you didn't look at her. she's got, SO MUCH.
Tumblr media
GODDAMN THATS SOME POWER. ngl this only adds fuel to the fire in my head that there was some kinda reasoning these sisters were torn apart, that someone felt they'd be too powerful together (and they were probably right)
Tumblr media
"I heard you but I couldn't stop myself, I couldn't do anything" may be just because she's not used to the curse but again part of me is concerned that because she couldn't pull herself out of it even a little bit like Eda did that there's something wrong there. but she also could've been stressed beyond reasonably calming herself down too.
ok but this is sweet
Tumblr media
NOOO im so sad Lilith's leaving :( I literally cried ok
"you lived here?" fine OKAY king that was hilarious even if im sad about this
"reconnect with dad" excuse me where the fuck has this man been in the middle of all of this. curse shit is going DOWN and he's just chilling at home.
I am curious about people's thoughts regarding the whole Lilith regression thing and the fact that she's literally going to be living with her parents again. I feel like it could help nurture that inner child she's been reverting back to and help her out a LOT. but I could also be concerned about it feeding into the regression and making it worse?? idk and this show probably ain't getting that actually deep into psych anyways
"some day my hair is gonna be big enough to do that too" Luz I cannot wait for the day. also mood, I wish I could do that too.
alright who's holding the fucking pen for hooty we need a volunteer RIGHT NOW so we can remain in contact with Lulu
NOT THE ONLY HUMAN? my bets on the real azura rip never mind she said he
Titan’s Blood?? interesting. If the blood of the titan is around I wonder what that means regarding the titans existence, and how long its been since the titan fell.
AHH BABY LUZ PHOTO
Tumblr media
ALSO WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?? They're really gonna spring that on us like this??? Camila's gotta notice somethings wrong right??? Unless any differences she just chalks up to the camp?? oh god :(
well, anyways lumity shippers come get yo juice next weekend
anyways im gonna need to add a NOT canon compliant tag on that one Gwendolyn fic I wrote because it definitely do not comply anymore

I hope i don't seem pushy for immediately asking its just i'll forget it later. Yk how in the book was unused to extravagance and luxury. What if Anthony goes out of her way to spoil her and she does the same for him once? I think prompt 56 would suit it. Thank you once again , your writing is a joy to read everyday❤
no escaping your love #42: the man who has everything (Read 1-41 here.)
What do you buy the man who has everything?
Kate had absolutely no idea, and that was quite the problem, considering her first anniversary was in less than a month.
Mary had been most unhelpful, going back to that whole “paper for the first year” tradition, but she couldn’t just buy him a journal or stationery or something. That wasn’t something you gave your husband, at least not if your husband was a viscount with one of the most profitable estates and land holdings in the country.
Edwina was still trapped in her newlywed bliss; Matthew had proposed to her at the end of the season, and they’d had a winter wedding once Kate’s leg was fully healed. He’d whisked her off to the continent for much of the spring while he did some sort of philosophy thing there (Kate admittedly did tune them out when they started talking about it, but they tuned her and Anthony out just as frequently--of that she was sure) and they’d only just returned.
Neither of them seemed to realize how pressing of an issue this actually was. Anthony was always surprising her with things. Flowers. Clothes. Jewelry. “Just because,” she was certain, was one of his favorite phrases. She would need to pull out all the stops to impress him.
She was finally, finally blessed with inspiration when they arrived in London for the season. Violet and the younger Bridgertons had vacated Bridgerton House just a few weeks before, settling into new lodgings at Number 5 Bruton Street. It meant that Kate and Anthony had now taken over the viscount’s rooms, rooms that Anthony had refused to move into, taking out his own bachelor’s lodgings almost the second he was able upon leaving Oxford.
One early morning, Kate was throwing up armoire doors and chests almost blindly, looking for what she referred to as her painting gown: a lightweight day dress, easy to move in, that she’d stained by accident several years ago, and then repeatedly afterwards. Unable to find it with her own things, she wondered if it had gotten packed in with Anthony’s; she had far more clothes than him, after all, and some of her things had been thrown in with his when packing. So she strode into his dressing room and threw open the first chest she could find.
It was full of men’s jackets and waistcoats, but they were almost certainly not her husband’s. Anthony favored navy and black, occasionally a dark purple or a deep green; this top one, a light blue, looked much more suited to Colin’s or even Benedict’s wardrobe. The deeper she dug, the more dark jackets she found, but they didn’t look like the sort of thing Anthony would much wear at all.
And then it hit her, suddenly: his father’s clothes.
She almost, almost, burst into tears about it (truly, this part of being with child was quite ridiculous), but she managed to keep herself together. But then she smiled, a wicked sort of thing, and pulled out one of the darker jackets and waistcoats. They all looked old, and clearly not well preserved if they’d been sitting in this dressing room for the past twelve years. But she was quite certain that was an easy fix, and she’d just found her husband’s anniversary present.
(And her painting gown, which had, indeed, wound up in one of Anthony’s trunks, along with several other day dresses she hadn’t even realized she’d been missing.)
By the time their anniversary finally rolled around, Kate was nearly breathless with anticipation for Anthony to open her gift.
So much so that she ambushed him in bed with it.
“You didn’t have to get me anything,” he said even as he undid the wrapping. She hid her smile behind her hands, watching as he pulled the jacket out.
“It’s your father’s!” she blurted, and his eyes widened. “Well, not exactly. Not anymore. Did you know there’s a trunk of his clothes still in the dressing room? Anyway, I found it when we first moved in, and I knew this one would look so good on you, you know how much I love you in blue, and so I had it altered, for you.”
She was rather impressed with herself for saying all of that in one breath, but Anthony’s expression hadn’t changed. Her stomach fell.
“I’m sorry, if you don’t like it, I can—”
He kissed her, soundly, firmly, reverently.
“Kate,” he whispered as he pulled away, “Thank you. Truly.” There was a tear threatening to slip out of his eye that made her want to cry, too, but instead she kissed him again. “Shall I try it on?”
She nodded and they stood together. She held it out the way she’d seen his valet do and he slipped his arms in as she pulled it up. A perfect fit.
“There you are,” she said. He walked over to her mirror and she followed, standing behind him and meeting his gaze in the mirror. “It brings out your eyes, you know.”
“I think this is the first time I’ve ever worn something of his and it didn’t feel like playing make believe,” he said, playing with the sleeves.
“Good.”
She turned him to face her, kissing him. “You are a dedicated viscount.” Another. “A loving husband.” Another. “And you will be the best father.” Another. “And I am so thankful I got stung by a bee and was forced to marry you.”
He laughed and lifted her right off her feet, throwing her down on the bed.
Turns out, it was just as fun to put the jacket on him as it was to take it off him.

Hi again 💜
Yesterday... wasn't exactly good, to be honest. I was utterly exhausted and very much on edge the whole day without any apparent reason, which in turn drained me even more. But I finally called my psychotherapist and made an appointment next week; hopefully, we will figure something out. Also I attended my Chinese classes after being absent for a few weeks, and it was tiring but good. Plus yesterday was the first day of Season of Assembly in Sky: Children of the Light, and this game is generally a place where I seek comfort and rest, but now I was very excited, too. By the way, you are one of two people who I should thank for bringing this game in my life, yet I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned it... So. Thank you very much. Sky has become a very important part of my life.
Well, the feeling is mutual 💞 Your art is one of those few things I feel deep connection with and always look forward to! As for my creations... Well, I might not like them much, but I believe that you (and quite a few others) do. It's still very frustrating that I have no idea what is fine already and what needs improvement, but since other people see something good in what I do, it's a little easier to continue even while being in the dark myself.
I believe TheGrinningKitten mentioned that people chose this ending, while initially she had in mind another, bitter-sweet one... I'm still sad that it turned out this way. I mean, it's still good, this ending also makes sense, but... As I said, it doesn't click. X-tra Dark Cream though? That's another story. It's okay that you can't find the connection yet, it's kind of impossible without knowing what exactly leads Cross and Dream from their encounter with Nightmare and Killer to the events of my little teaser. And let me tell you, there is a lot going on there. The Killing Kind is great for some part of it.
My memory is good when it comes to those who I hold dear to my heart, and you happen to be one of those people, so yes, I do remember quite a lot of things you said 💞
Story of Evil is actually a part of Seven Deadly Sins (as well as Gift from the Princess Who Brought Sleep!), and in turn Seven Deadly Sins are a part of Evillious Chronicles ✨ So yeah, those are my favourite! And I do know the other songs you attached, Mosaic Roll was actually one of the first songs by Vocaloids I've ever listened! It was years ago, such nostalgia...
A wahoo for you, that's exactly the motivation I think Nightmare would be driven by! Make everyone happy like Dream couldn't, and even more so, like no amount of golden apples ever could. That, and Nightmare is just smart enough to make this work. Plus the woman who supposedly brainwashed Margarita? Totally the man's voice from the black apples. See, all of this makes sense!
Wow, we are getting near the end at last.
I know I don't have to, and I'm very glad and flattered to hear you are waiting for any of my works 🌻 It is a pleasure and an honor to have such a dedicated reader that you are! But the whole point is that I want to write something special for you, for so many reasons that listing them would increase the length of this ask quite a bit. There is no rush, no pressure, it's just one more reason to continue writing. And that's good, don't you think? I certainly do.
Anyway. Take care! *hugs*
Hi anfie╰(*´︶`*)╯
Thank you for your reply! I'm very sorry to hear about it, hope you'll get better very soon (ówò) But it's great that you've resumed your Chinese classes! How was it? *^*
Speaking about Season of Assembly in scotl, that sounds great! Gotta check this wonderful game, haven't been there for a long time <3 and it's so nice to know that you find a game and a place to your liking! I'm very pleased (〃ω〃)
I feel you, I didn’t even know that ending was chosen by others, that's another matter. As for the songs, it's finally all interconnected! And everything falls into place (・∀・) Such an interesting parallel indeed... It does makes sense ;3;
Oh I do. ♡ Take care! *hugs*
P. S. Thank you for waiting! The correspondence with you is not just an ask-reply thing for me but like– a ceremony? I love the way you make everyday things special. ☆

don't know if you answered this before but in what order would you rank the endgame couples - piper/leo, phoebe/coop, paige/henry? very curious
oh hmm i actually have never been asked this!! hmm this is difficult. okay so like. obvi before we begin i must offer a disclaimer here. i am a paragon of bad taste. let’s not forget my entire valentine’s theme was dedicated to prue & jack. we’re starting at rock bottom here. i also love projecting my own idea onto incomplete pieces to fill the gaps. like. like i get how there’s not a lot to love for paige and henry and phoebe and coop but in my lil brain they are all very complex and like fleshed out and i gotta a lotta beliefs. in fact. like. hmm. no i’ve already said i have bad taste like piper/leo are probably gonna sit at the bottom of the list for me just because i cannot craft them how i want bc they’re already solidified in canon. like. idk they’re an adorable couple all that the full nine yards or whatever but like. well for starters they’re not my favorite ship tropes and then on top of that again There’s A Lot Of Canon. and i am a narcissistic diva okay i wanna be able to fill in these gaps. so like. hmm at the top based solely on coupleness and the versions of them that live in my noggin it’s
phoebe/coop bc like hear me out man they’re like the embodiment of love. we’ve been hit over the head so many time how they’re the embodiment of love and like salvation and rebirth and renewal like!! like part of me wishes that we had introduced coop in s5 and given him more skin in the game but also if they fucked up this relationship i would have been so bummed bc it really is. it’s love!! like it is the embodiment of falling in love like phoebe is stone cold right and she’s kind of starting to accept that maybe she just doesn’t get it you know. maybe that’s it. she gets her column and she gets to help people find love and see like piper and leo at peak domesticity and like engage in love, but like, remotely.because it’s not for her. and then here comes this cupid who’s like no i’m gonna find you love which is a cute gesture but like she genuinely doesn’t believe she’s made for love she genuinely doesn’t believe she gets to have love but then you know like. like her eyes get reopened to the world around her yes she engaged with love remotely but she had become so far removed from it that it lost the feeling. she saw it but she saw the individual brushstrokes and then here comes coop and he helps her take a step back and see the painting. and like!!! it’s beautiful. and then of course there’s the added trope of like. falling in love with coop he’s supposed to help you find love and now you know what the hell you’re trying but like. you’re in love with him. but you can’t be but you are. like!! and then on coop’s side you know he’s a cupid he’s been doing this for centuries and his love for humanity is obvious and his love for love is obvious but this is new. and he doesn’t know what it is!! like he knows love obviously but he’s never like you know fallen in love. and he can’t recognize it because he thinks it’s impossible but the next think you know he’s got all those lovesick symptoms he sees in the couples he puts together and oh my god he’s in love with phoebe. and then of course both believe the other won’t reciprocate bc it’s out of the realm of possibility. but then the other does reciprocate!! they also just like. i mean all three couple do but like phoebe and coop maybe the most. seem like the type of people who just kinda get lost in watching their partner work. like when phoebe is having trouble with a letter for her column she like paces and mutters the letter out loud to herself like she’s the one asking it and like bareface in pajamas like a crazy person is just repeating the same thing over and over again and coop’s just fucking in love with her like look at her!! and vice versa i don’t think coop has really spent that much time being human i think he takes absolute delight in small things phoebe has just forgotten about but to see coop’s face light up like at so flea market or something finding something that was undeniably crafted with love like he can feel it imbued in the item and his face just lights up and he wants to tell everyone how like it’s love!! love!! it’s all around us it’s in here can’t you feel it and phoebe just looks at him and remembers how pure love itself is and just how happy she is that you know. this is her life. and she gets to fall asleep and wake up next to this man like hello?? hello??!???! and then i’m gonna go 
paige/henry bc like i feel like they’re criminally underrated again bc we spedrun what should have been a slowburn but they gave me the legos and i will built the death star like. like these are two people who struggle with family and identity so much who have learned against their nature to lean into and grow with one another. like what we see of paige is a woman who loves her independence and loves her freedom and yesh has a complex relationship with family bc she was given up at birth but it didn’t matter because she found a loving family so who needs the ones who gave her up not her but she couldn’t help but wonder but she didn’t care she had her family. until she didn’t. until she was seventeen alone and scared and what are you supposed to do with that?? and let’s not even get started on the fact she only gains her new family through death as well. like. there’s so much there there are so many reasons to stay guarded and fearful and just overall pessimistic about the concept of family especially as something built to last. and then henry!!! who never knew his birth parents and on top of that never got a home like paige paige got a home she got a family who loved her hell she actually got two henry never had that henry always had nothing and like he kinda grew up in that shell said he didn’t want to leave when people started getting close he had to push them away bc he didn’t know who he was if he wasn’t alone and paige is like hey hi?? you wanna be alone so bad be alone but i actually fucking like you and i know you like me too so don’t just push me out because that’s what makes you feel "comfortable” when you know you’re miserable in your comfort. and she’s right but it’s still a hurdle for henry and it’s this push and pull of the tides where bit by bit they kind of have to learn that it’s lonely up on the pedestal of independence and it can actually be nice to be vulnerable with somebody yes it’s fucking terrifying to just like show yourself to someone honestly because like!! they can turn away what if they turn away but to experience the rewards of love we must first subject ourselves to the morifying ordeal of being known. and it’s a painful process for both of them but the fruits of those labors man it’s well fucking worth it and it’s a relationship especially on henry’s side that is plagued with external insecurities other people telling him that he is not cut from the right cloth to be with paige but like. it’s like he’s already torn down his walls to be with her and she’s done the same and he realizes he loves her like He Loves Her like. like!! who gives a fuck what anyone else says he loves paige. and then paige reciprocates omg!!! haha fuck yeah. and then like i also think henry’s just super fuckin corny levels of domestic like makes french toast every sunday and fingerpaints with his kids and is in the dad’s club at the elementary school and just does all the things that he fuckin prayed for as a child  just a constant stable feeling of home of love and like. like!!!! i’m gonna bite someone like. paige&henry man.
piper/leo though as previously established is like Thee charmed couple you know they are there all eight seasons they get points for that but obviously from reading my first two ones i kinda just fill in a lot of gaps there which i am able to do bc each couple probably checks in at 150min of screentime total. piper and leo don’t get that so like i don’t get to do that. and like. the origins of them i just don’t quite get you know which was really just cause it was such a new show and this was a new lil relationship they weren’t sure what they were gonna do with it and then again like issues with canon and the whole whitelighter thing but what i would have loved to see more in the early stages is just like why. like obviously they both found the other cute but we never really got the Moments bc it was all so preferrial and then next thing you know leo’s dying in the attic and piper loves him like i would have loved the in between and a bit more of the internal monologue the jump then fall especially on leo’s part which is like canon’s fault but like. you know like why if he was a whitelighter and knew the rules blah blah blah and it was because the writers didn’t know but like. still you know. and then s2 was bogged down my dan and i just really didn’t care for it that much because like. idk i didn’t love a lot of leo’s vibes early s2 were he was trying to keep it strictly professional and just ended up coming across as weirdly bitter and possessive however i Loved him bonding with dan in pardon my past that was a nice touch. of course later seasons pleo really makes up for the lackluster of the early seasons bc they are just so domestic like they know each others strengths so well and leo loves piper’s cooking and they’re corny n cute and they have their little moment and i do mostly like their relationship therapy bits i like that that was incorporated bc like. it happens man it’s not something to keep taboo it happens. but i do feel like that shit was often resolved too quick and then the same shit dredged up ten minutes later like some one trick pony. i also love how ride or die they are points for that. leo’s like i killed an elder and piper’s like alright. they’re really in it through thick n thin n i respect that

Fanfic Request: IzuMina; Mina running on a treadmill while connected to a heart monitor as part of a stress test, the stress proving too much for Mina's heart, resulting in a massive heart attack and Izuku must revive her. Feel free to tweak this to your liking.
Thanks so much for the request. This ended up being so fun to write, I went a little bit longer than I intended. I hope you enjoy nonetheless, and have an excellent day!
Disclaimer: I have 0 medical knowledge, so any medical escapades should be taken with a massive grain of salt, and not attempted at home.
Summary: Preparation for midterms has left the entirety of Class 1A stressed out, but for one particular couple the stress is just the beginning.
Trigger warning: Heart attack
Also on AO3!
Izuku thought to himself for the thousandth time. He slammed his palm into the wall in frustration, cracking the plaster. After more than two years of intense training, even his unaugmented blows were a force to be reckoned with.
He sat outside Recovery Girl’s office on a small and surprisingly comfortable bench. He didn’t feel it though. His mind was stuck firmly on the girl lying in the office right now, wishing desperately that he could do something to help her
The signs had been there for days now, but he hadn’t heeded them. He’s let himself be brushed off, be distracted, be fooled. And now she was paying the price.
It was exam season at UA, and Mina had been both nervous beyond belief, and dedicated to the extreme. Coming into the midterms of their second year had left them all with a lot to prove, but Mina had even more reason to fight. She had been one of the few to fail the exams the first year, both written and physical. She’d come a very long way since that point, and the girl who now attended UA would have been difficult to recognize when compared to her past self.
She had thrown herself into training with great gusto, putting in extra time after classes wrapped up for the day working on both her physical strength and sparring. The class had gained a healthy respect for the pink girl’s talent and reflexes when it came to hand to hand. She wasn’t winning every fight, but she was winning a majority, and in their class that was worthy of great respect.
Done with the physical part of the day, she would bury her nose in a textbook while she ate. She somehow managed to make conversation while doing this, but it was half hearted at best. Her usual bubbly presence had dimmed, and it brought the mood of the entire class.
For Izuku, it was particularly difficult.
The pair hadn’t been on a date in two weeks, which was unusual for them. Mina loved coming up with ideas for them to spend time together, even if it was just a brief jaunt to a shop she had heard of near campus that had just opened.
She still cuddled with him in the evenings, like usual, but even that had taken on a different air. She did her best to steer the conversations, trying to get him to talk about the hero battles he had watched religiously growing up. At first he had been relieved, thinking this was a new method of stress relief she was trying. Eventually he realized that this was just another study method for her.
A part of him had wanted to say something, but every time he tried to, he stopped short. Her training was beyond intense, yes, but was he really one to talk. His own training for UA had been very draconian. So instead of saying something, he tried to be there for her as best he could, slipping in jokes and funny stories as they talked into the evenings while he ran his fingers through her hair.
It was two days before the exams were set to start, and Mina was looking run down. Her skin had lost a lot of its usual luster, and her eyes were half open at the best of times. The entire class had noticed, and had tried to bring it up gently to her.
She brushed it off, making a crack about Izuku keeping her up too late the night before, wiggling her eyebrows all the while.
Most took the joke as a good sign. It was a return to form for their friend, if only slightly. Besides, there was only two more days till exams. After that, everything would be fine.
Izuku was even more worried though. He’d had to practically throw her out of his room the night before, trying to get her to go to bed. She had promised him she would go right to sleep. She didn’t know that he’d followed her up later, and had seen the light coming from under her doorway as she studied. She didn’t know he’d heard her muttering, telling herself that she needed to push harder to keep her place, to stand on the same stage as her classmates. To fight on the level of the boy she loved.
He hadn’t known what to say. He didn’t have the words to reassure her, because he knew those questions all too well. Knew how they ate at you in the dark hours. Knew how they pushed you to fight, for fear of what answering them meant.
So he had turned, and left. And later, he would regret that decision immensely.
“Mind if I join you?” Mina asked, breaking Izuku out of his funk.
He’d been taking a rare opportunity between classes to put in some extra training time of his own before exams. He was confident when it came to academics, and had a few tricks up his sleeve for the practical portion, but a little extra strength training never hurt.
He slowed the treadmill down to a much more sustainable pace, and nodded at her. He was panting to hard at the moment for any real conversation to take place.
Mina fired up her own treadmill, quickly matching his pace. The couple had trained together quite a bit during their time at UA, so matching each other had become almost second nature.
They ran in silence for a few minutes, the only sound being their panting breaths.
Finally, Izuku could take it no longer. “Mina, can we talk for a moment?”
“Sure” She said, panting heavily. Her eyes were trained forward, but Izuku could see she wasn’t really focused on her movements. She seemed to be drifting.
“I….I’m worried about you. I get that you want to do well on the exam, but it feels like you’re pushing yourself way too hard.”
“I’m fine” she said, raising the speed on the treadmill a few notches. It takes her from a steady jog to the barest edge of a sprint.
“Mina, I haven’t seen you take a break in days. The exam is tomorrow. You need rest.” He’d said it as gently as he could, but it only seemed to make things worse.
“I don't… have time… for a break.” Mina panted. She’s running too fast, form starting to break down. Even still, she kept increasing the pace, not caring about her running form any more.
“Mina, you’re going to do fine tomorrow. You’re going to blow the test out of the water. But only if you rest.” A quick button press brought the treadmill he was using to a halt.
He turned to face Mina, taking in her loping strides that are just barely keeping pace with the treadmill. He takes in the arm held tight to her chest to fight against the pain she’s feeling. Her normally vibrant skin has faded and dulled, making her look more haggard than he’s ever seen.
He takes a moment to glance around the gym, thankful that they’re alone for once. He turns back to his girlfriend, and pulls out his last trump card.
“Frosting, can you stop for me?” It’s a private nickname, one the rest of the class will never hear uttered by either of them. It’s a name he only uses when he’s holding her close, said in whispers only she can hear. It’s a name that shows how much he cares for her.
It takes a moment, but she stops. The whir of the treadmill fades away, as do the thud of her footsteps, leaving only her gasping breaths.
It was then that Izuku realized something was very wrong. They had fought together and against each other many times over the last year and half. He knew what she looked like exhausted, and this was something very different.
“I-Izu I…..I don’t…. Something’s…..” She didn’t get a chance to finish her sentence before she dropped like a stone.
Izuku lunged forward, barly catching her shoulder and keeping her head from smacking into the ground. Her horns scraped against his shoulder, but he paid it no mind. His thoughts were on something much more important.
“Mina! Talk to me! Mina!”
She isn’t moving, head lolled back, eyes unfocused and unreactive.
“Mina!” He shook her as hard as he dared, but she didn’t respond. He placed his fingers on her throat and found only a weak pulse, her breath barely discernible.
His mind kicked into overdrive. He didn’t have anything resembling medical training, but he was sure this wasn’t a normal illness, or even exhaustion. This was something serious, and something he didn’t have the capacity to handle.
He scooped her limp form into his arms and called on his Quirk. Red lines of power surged across his limbs, resolving into bolts of green lightning. Strength rushed through him, and he broke into a flat out sprint, not caring about the small cracks he was leaving in the floor. They could be repaired. Mina could not.
His experience with Shoot Style payed dividends as he ran, letting him easily kick open doors as he went without breaking stride. He made a beeline for Recovery Girl’s office, leaping around and over students and other obstacles. He thought he heard some familiar voices calling his name, but couldn’t spare the time to see who it was.
It takes far too long to get to Recovery Girl’s office in Izuku’s opinion. Sure, with how much force he put behind every leap, the entire journey can’t have taken more than a minute, but that’s a minute that Mina might not have been able to spare.
He tried to kick the door open, forgetting that this one was a sliding style entry, rather than a swinging door. It flew off its hinges and crashed into the wall beyond. He mentally added it to the tab of things he was going to catch hell for later.
The office was well light, open, and completely empty. Recovery Girl was nowhere to be seen. Izuku felt his pulse quicken even more than it already had been. He’d been counting on her being there, to help Mina, or to tell him what to do.
A soft gasp from Mina drew his attention to her once more. Her eyes had rolled back in her head. Izuku checker her pulse, and his stomach dropped. He couldn’t feel anything.
He spun around, searching the office desperately for something to help, but found nothing. The instruments were all entirely foreign to him, and he couldn’t even begin to guess at their function.
“Midoriya?” Came a voice from behind him.
He turned, and saw Uraraka, Jirou, and Kaminari standing in the doorway, worried looks on their faces.
HIs eyes snapped to Kaminari, and in that moment he concieved a desperate plan. He lunged forward, grabbing Kaminari’s arm and dragged the boy into the office with him. He set Mina on the bed as quickly as he could without hurting her, then turned to his blond classmate.
“Mina’s heart stopped. I need you to shock her, right now.” His voice has an edge to it, that pierces through the panic. It lends an air to his words, that lets those who hear them know that what he’s saying isn’t a request, but an order. In the moment, none of them can quite place where they’ve heard such a tone before.
It’s only later that they will remember hearing it from their teachers in the many times that they’ve been in peril, or from pro heroes in dire straights.
It’s the tone of a Hero who’s saving someone’s life.
Kaminari blanches. He may be hearing the words, but the meaning behind them paralyzes him. He’s never attempted anything like this, isn’t even sure he can do it.
“Midoriya I-I can’t. I don’t know how to.”
A dozen scenarios run through Izuku’s head. He might be able to convince Kaminari to try, might be able to talk the blonde through his panic, but it will take much too long, and Mina can’t afford to wait that long. Instead, Izuku opts for the strategy that will get her the most help quickly.
It’s a quick calculation, weighing the damage it will do to his relationships and friends against the possibility of Mina suffering for even a second longer than necessary. The risk to his own body doesn’t even enter into the calculation.
Izuku keeps a file on every Quirk user he encounters, cataloging any strengths and weaknesses he observes, and remembering them in case he encounters a similar Quirk in the future. In doing this, he’s amassed quite a lot of observations about his classmate’s Quirks. He knows that Dark Shadow wilts in the light, that Tsuyu shuts down in the cold, and that Jirou is vulnerable to loud noises. Most importantly, he knows that Kaminari activates his Quirk instinctively when he takes damage unexpectedly.
Izuku placed his left hand on Mina’s heart, and grabbed Kaminari’s hand in his right. He activated One for All once more, counting on it to help him absorb most of the voltage that was  about to come. He sent a silent prayer that his resistance would be just enough to limit the damage, but not enough to block the electricity from reaching Mina entirely.
Then he broke Kaminari’s finger in one swift motion.
The effect is immediate. Electricity coursed through all three of them, and Izuku grit his teeth through the pain. It tore at his senses even as it coursed through his body, but he was more than passingly familiar with pain. After you’ve torn your body to pieces willingly to land a single punch, you learn how to deal with pain.
After a long second, he put as much willpower as he could muster into opening his hand and releasing Kaminari. The blond stumbled back, face devolving into a idiotic grin as the electricity began to fade.
Izuku only had eyes for Mina though. A long moment passed where nothing happened. Then Mina convulsed, and gasped. Objectively, it was a horrible, rattling gasp that should have sent shivers down Izuku’s spine, but in the moment it was the sweetest sound he could have heard.
The combination of relief and electrical shock finally overwhelm him, and he fell backwards, slamming painfully into the floor below, not even making a move to catch himself.
Uraraka rushed forward to help her friend, and Jirou did the same for Kaminari. The rapid fire events had left them reeling, and they were only just now catching up.
“What happened in here?” Recovery girl asked as she stepped through the destroyed entryway. She looked more than a little upset to see her carefully tidied office in shambles. When she caught sight of Izuku, she sighed deeply. “I should have known. I step out for five minutes and you’re creating chaos. What’s happened this time? Have you managed to break even more of your bones?”
Izuku shook his head weakly. “Mina” He pointed to the gurney next to him. “She stopped breathing. Used Kaminari to shock her.”
Recovery Girl’s eyes went wide, and she moved over to Mina’s side. She quickly examined the girl, checking her heartbeat, breathing, and pupils. When she was done, Izuku had managed to shake off most of the lingering effects of the shock.
“I hate to say it, but I think in this situation, you made the right call.” Recovery girl said, settling into her chair. “It seems Young Ashido suffered a heart attack, likely due to severe stress. She seems to be suffering from malnutrition and dehydration as well.” She shook her head sadly.
She kicked them out immediately following her exam, pausing only to heal the damage Izuku and Kaminari had taken, telling them to go to class, and not to worry. Thanks to her healing, all Mina needed was a bit of rest before she felt a lot better.
Izuku couldn’t just go back, not when Mina was right there. If she needed him, he wanted to be there. He parked himself on a convenient bench across from the office, not responding to any of his friend’s questions or attempts to speak to him. He simply sat and stared at the door.
Izuku could afford to skip class, but the rest weren’t quite so lucky. They reluctantly left their friend sitting there, promising to return when class was done, and to let everyone know that he and Mina were ok. Izuku nodded slightly at that, which they took to be a good sign.
When Recovery Girl emerges from her office, she doesn’t look surprised at all to see him sitting there. She looks resigned instead.
“She’s waking up now. It will do her good to have a friendly face when she does.”
Izuku practically bolts out of his seat to enter. Mina is still lying on the cot where he placed her before, though Recovery Girl apparently took the time to cover her with a thin blanket.
He could see her eyelids fluttering as he stepped closer. He reached out and gently took her hand. A moment later, she squeezed it lightly.
“Izu?” Her voice was faint, and more than a little confused. “What happened?”
“We were working out, and you collapsed. I brought you to Recovery Girl. You…” He paused, not quite sure how to break it to her. “Mina you had a heart attack.”
She shocked Izuku by laughing weakly. “Guess I really screwed up, huh?”
“Quite” Recovery Girl said from her desk. The elderly hero was filling out paperwork, probably relating to Mina’s condition. “You’re not the first student to exhaust themself before exams, but yours is one of the more extreme cases. I’ve healed the damage from the attack, as well as your sweethearts impromptu treatment, but you still need rest. I can only heal the effects of illness, not the cause.”
She ripped the lower half of the paper shed been writing on off and handed it to Izuku, then faced Mina. “Three days of rest with NO TRAINING. Study if you must, but keep it to an absolute minimum. I’ll speak to Aizawa about getting you an exam extension. Keep in mind that this is a one time deal, and only because this is the first time I’ve seen you in my office all year, unlike someone I know.” She aimed a pointed glare at Izuku who even now was her most frequent visitor by a country mile.
A pager on her hip heroes loudly, and she snatched it up with a sigh. “And yet another poor soul needs healing. Please excuse me, but stay until you feel completely better. And remember, no training!” With that, she strode out of the door, which had been clumsily reattached, closing it behind her.
“Well, there goes my ‘least time in the nurse’s office’ record.” Mina said ruefully.
Izuku didn’t respond, and she turned her head to look at him. He still held tight to get hand, but there was a very distant look in his eyes.
“I’m kinda disappointed actually. I liked holding that over Kirishima’s head.”
Izuku nodded slightly at that, and Mina got the distinct impression that he wasn’t listening to a word she was saying.
“I guess now would be a bad time to tell you that I’m pregnant, huh?”
This time he didn’t even nod, just continued to stare into space. Mina rolled her eyes, and flicked her boyfriend in the forehead. It was unusual to see him spaced out without a stream of muttered observations streaming out of him.
“You know, it’s considered polite to listen when people are talking to you.” She teased. She was feeling stronger now, almost back to normal. Or at least as normal as she had felt in the last few weeks, which meant gritty, run down, and struggling to keep her eyes from folding closed.
He blinked, coming back to his body. He looked at her for a moment, and then his face crumpled. All of the emotions that he had been holding inside came flooding out, and his eyes overflowed with tears. It wasn’t the first time Mina had seen him cry, but the fat droplets surprised her every time.
“M-Mina I was…I was so worried!” He sobbed, planting his face into her shoulder.
She reached her arms around his shaking shoulders and pulled him close. She felt a prickle at the back of her own eyes. The collapse had been traumatizing for her as well, and when combined with all the stress she’d been under, it was a heavy burden to bear. She’d been unconsciously dealing with it in the same way she had been during the last week, pushing the feelings down and hiding under a layer of humor.
Now, given a chance to release, she cried too, tears coming close to matching Izuku’s. In short order, they each had a large wet patch on their shirts from the other’s tears. They didn’t speak, merely held each other close as they let all their feelings out in one long burst.
Eventually, they both ran short of tears. They pulled back slightly, but neither was willing to let go completely. They linked their arms, and leaned against each other, taking comfort from the other’s warmth.
“I’m sorry” Izuku said softly.
“Don’t be.” Mina replied. “It was….I needed a good cry. It helped.”
Izuku nodded, understanding exactly what she felt. He felt exhausted, but relieved, like a weight he hadn’t known he’d been carrying had finally been lifted.
“It was hard. Seeing you like that. I didn’t know what to do, or how to help you. I was scared.”
She squeezed his hand in a comforting gesture, but she could feel a smile tugging at her face. “I’m sorry? Mr. Self Sacrifice found it tough to see someone he cares about hurt? Welcome to my world.”
Izuku smiled as well. He knew he had been tough on Mina in the past, and given her more than one hospital scare.
“I know, now more than ever. I’ll try to be better in the future.”
“Only try?”
“I am what I am.” He said with a shrug.
Mina laughed at that, a full body stomach laugh this time. Izuku joined in a moment later. It was difficult having a reputation as class problem child, but Izuku had come to embrace the role.
“I love you Sparks” Mina said softly.
He pulled her close, and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Love you too Frosting.” She flushed a little. A part of her always loved hearing her call her that. He said it in a way that made her feel like the most special person in the world.
As much as she wanted to stay like that forever, Mina knew they should get going. She may have a mandate to avoid studying, but Izuku doesn’t. She groaned as she stood, flexing her back to work out a few of the kinks that had developed while she slept. Izuku stood as well, watching her carefully for signs of relapsing.
“Let’s head back to the dorms.” Mina said. “Everyone’s in class right now, so we’ll have the dorms to ourselves for a while.”
Izuku raised an eyebrow at that. “There’s still Modern Heroics left today. I probably shouldn’t skip more class this close to exams.”
Mina let a mischievous grin cross her face. “You sure about that? You know how easily I get bored when I don’t have someone to talk to. I might even decide to do a bit of training to relieve my boredom…”
“Don’t you dare!” He said in mock outrage. He knew she was sensible enough not to try anything, but still felt it prudent to stop that line of joking right here and now.
“You’re gonna have to cuddle me if you want to be extra sure.”
He smiled a wide and honest smile that always lifted Mina’s heart when she saw it. It was bright, and good, and so very beautiful. And it looked perfect on her boyfriend’s face.
“Now that, I can definitely do.”
The couple walked arm in arm, ready to enjoy some much needed R&R, perfectly content to be in the arms of their lover once more.
