Sometimes Miracles Happen!!
Throughout my 68 years of living my life I have seen and heard a lot of different things some of those things are easy to see while others are just not that easy to believe even when you see them through the eyes that God has given you. About 18 years ago my daughter buried her middle son when he was almost 3 years old. Then a couple of weeks ago we got a letter in the mail from someone claiming to be her son. So he sent his phone number in the letter and my daughter called him then we got to see him later in the week. He was indeed or long last child. This was truly a miracle and he has been living in Vernon all this time. That in itself is a miracle as well. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that not only is my grandson back into my life but I'm a great grandma as well. My grandson has given us another miracle and given us a baby girl to spoil. Dress her in frilly clothes, or just jeans and a flannel shirt. lol Thank you for reading. I know I haven't been here in awhile but I have had some health issues which have gotten better, so I can do more things again.

the reappearance of rachel price: my thoughts so far (spoilers)
my reading has been slow-going because i've also been busy with other life stuff, but i'm now at chapter twenty-one, and there's going to be a family dinner, which will probably involve some big drama, and secrets being revealed, so before i read that, i want to put down my thoughts and observations. buckle up everyone, this post is way longer than i anticipated
first of all, i love that holly used the surnames of the actors playing pip and ravi as surnames for two of the characters who are making the documentary in this book. a nice little easter egg that made me smile.
second of all, i can't believe i forgot to put duct tape on my predictions list!! (this is mainly a joke.) there's duct tape on the cover of as good as dead, and if you know, you know. then, when i read five survive, duct tape was mentioned, and gets used, but when i first read it, i was like, "omg, holly jackson duct tape universe". in chapter one, ramsey says something about taping down the wires, so i'm counting this as duct tape.
bel is a kleptomaniac. i don't know anything about kleptomania, but my guess is that in the case of bel, this is some kind of psychological compulsion: being able to take things from people because someone so significant disappeared from her life without her having any control/memory of it happening. my other guess is that it is a symptom of some undiagnosed medical condition (more on that later)
carter: this seems to be the person that bel is closest to, but there's a couple of years between the two, and being cousins isn't quite the same as friendship becoming family (unlike pip and cara or red and maddy)
when carter first comes on-scene in chapter three i thought she might have adhd (she was always moving somehow, never still. drumming fingers and jangling legs. p. 22) but that's been the only indication
charlie is suspicious as hell. firstly there's the fact that it is established how fundamental he is in bel's world, as a constant, as someone to trust. there have been adult characters in holly's other books that have been portrayed like that, only for it to be revealed that they're some kind of bad guy
also, charlie's comments about sherry's pregnancy during the family interview gave me the ick. is he just sexist, or is there some other reason that he'd be saying stuff like that to his sister-in-law?
jeff is also suspicious. getting up to leave the interview when charlie starts talking about his truck? and then the conversation between jeff and charlie later? something's going on, but i'm not sure what
also charlie's reasoning for the documentary is that he needs the money to pay for his father's medical care, but i wonder if there's some other reason
bel's teacher mr tripp: nothing to say about him, except that i'm suspicious (but i don't know what i suspect him of). it's a holly jackson novel, i'm suspicious of everyone
rachel coming back, and things not adding up delights and confounds me in equal measure. how does she know about bel's bracelet? why does she have that random baby sock?
who's the person that suggested the rachel price case to ramsey on twitter? it can't just be a random person, given that they only made this one comment
i like ash, but no strong feelings so far.
there are a lot of mentions of bel feeling left behind/having the feeling that people are going to leave her. it's understandable, given that she grew up under the shadow of always being known in relation rachel price. to everyone in her town, she's a curiosity, an object of discussion, rather than an actual person.
okay, let's talk about memory. in the family interview, ramsey brings up the point that in the time leading up to rachel's disappearance, she would become forgetful, and bel draws a connection to rachel on that score; bel is also forgetful. is this something genetic?
there's also the fact that bel observes minor differences between rachel's narratives/accounts of events, and even says something about being locked up for 15 years, when the tv news (right in front of rachel!!) said 16 years
most people (the police, charlie, etc.) attribute this to trauma, which would be understandable, but i then began to wonder if it is actually bel who is muddling facts. i'm pretty sure there's some kind of undiagnosed medical condition at work here, that seems to be affecting both rachel and bel but i don't know what that is
there's also the fact that bel's grandfather has vascular dementia. we've yet to see him interact with rachel, so i'm interested to see if her presence will trigger any memories (and reveal information). holly actually did this very sneakily in agggtm when pip and ravi go to the ivy house hotel and the old woman sees andie's photo and says that she had visited recently. we later learn that it was just someone who looked like andie (becca).
last thing, there's still not been any guns, but i think there could be in the future (holly has said that one of the benefits of setting her books in the us is easy access to guns). bonus points if it's during a scene where the documentary crew are also present because they're british (but hopefully none of them get hurt)

Once there was a family, torn apart by loss, until one fateful day, when the sorcerer's apprentice returned, weaving a tale of love and magic. This is the summary of your work so far: 1. You have created a hardcore poem based on A long-lost family member reappears, changing the dynamics of the story. and Stories centered around powerful sorcerers and their apprentices. in under 100 words. IN RICH TEXT. MINIMAL FORMATTING

(gaiden spoilers)
sometimes it feels funny that the watase family are somehow the first people to go look for kiryu but the more i think about it the more it makes sense despite the fact that the main people on the hunt are people kiryu's never met?
like, 6's ending and gaiden (ESPECIALLY the ending) make it pretty clear that very few people believe he's really dead. that being said, who has the resources to go look for him? the main roadblocks would be:
-being sure you can deal with whoever will inevitably come for you if you look for him (yakuza are always never far behind wherever he is)
-having the money and manpower to look for him (not only do you have to be able to look all over, but be able to deal with anything, not to mention if you DO find him he'll start mowing all of you down)
and the omi alliance are basically the only people who have what's needed. the tojo are in hiding (incl. majima, saejima and daigo) and even shortly after his death, were hit with the saio triad war and THEN the 3k plan. the morning glory orphanage kids don't have the know-how and would be in too deep if they looked. akiyama can't do it alone. date's sworn to secrecy. the hirose family...actually, what's their deal? did the daidoji approach them about the secret of onomichi? bc surely they'd have to keep those guys quiet too
so of the omi alliance, that naturally falls to either the best of them, or the few that actually know him. the watase family checks both boxes by virtue of watase's meeting him 7 years before! even if watase's gone, he can just go send his guys to look. easy.

📁📁Ezzi for late bday!
@feraecor | Small headcanons | Accepting!
- Even though they know that they're more than likely going to have to go back to managing the Pits of Hell eventually, they're trying to put it off as long as absolutely possible. Their pride says that they aren't going to be the one to go to the Princes-- the Princes are gonna have to come to them and personally ask Ezzi to return. Petty? Hell yeah. But they don't really care. The Princes pissed them off, and that's all that matters to them right now.
- Their family is absolutely massive, as their mother, Lilith, has "birthed" entire species, before. Because of this, Ezzion doesn't actually know all of their siblings, let alone nieces and nephews, and whatever else has amassed over time. And honestly, they tend to have a somewhat back and forth relationship with the direct family members that they are close with (such as their elder brother, Marcellus and their mother, for example), anyway. In fact, a lot of times, it probably seems as though they're closer to Baphomet, Bahamut, and Kujata. This is a residual thing from when they lost their legs, along with their father and the siblings that they were born with. A lot of their family still tend to baby them over that, and they hate it...granted, it has gotten a little better, more recently.

Robin fic snippet
She sighed. “It was shitty fucking thing to do to Dick.”
Blue was seeping into the brightness of sky, dawn fading.
“Dick will be fine,” Jason told her. Told that hazy blue, easier than the faintly pissed off tilt of her beautiful mouth. “Every Robin that ever was is going to want a piece of you.”
No one but fate, long a singular bitch to Jason Todd, would have expect his mark to be a robin.
“What the fuck,” Jason turned his head to find she’d pulled herself upright, second hand engaged to steady dangerously sloshing mug. “What the fuck, Jason.”
It probably said more about the messed up rewiring of his resurrected brain, that he was instantly aroused.
“Jason,” she repeated, pulling him to Earth. “I’m your soulmate.”
Maybe he’d always been like this. Probably, given how badly he wanted her to say it again.
And again.
Even furious.
“I haven’t been Robin in a long time,” Jason said, because it was that or beg. “I’m not- I know and they know, okay? But it’s going to be a fucking surprise.”
“And what,” Elle said, “None of them have soulmates of their own?”
Jason said nothing.
B’s mark had been unmovable black since he’d been a kid. Alfred’s right wrist, revealed by a sharply folded cuff, solid night sky, white stars still as gleaming as the wedding ring he’d worn as long as Jason had known him. Tim, Duke, Dick- hell, even Babs.
“Batgirl and Black Bat,” Jason answered. “To each other.”

Additional Tags: this is me embracing the cringe, ive had this sitting in drafts for so long, it's not finished yet but yknow what im posting the first few chapters anyway, based on the classic Aliens in the Attic, Getting Back Together, awkward post-divorce family trip with the boys, Sibling Bonding, idk man, Family Fluff
Summary:
Don't get him wrong, Matthew Bonnefoy-Kirkland was never expecting great things from this trip. How could he, when the lineup consisted of him, his siblings, his recently divorced fathers and two family friends, plus his sister's terrible boyfriend, all shut in a creepy mansion together for a week? There was never a time when it wouldn't end in disaster.
But aliens? That seemed excessive, quite frankly.
