getting matching necklaces for you two to wear!

author’s note : pls matching necklaces (or matching anything, really) are so cute!! me and my friend just bought a pair recently and i adore them~! (≧∇≦）

(if the pics aren’t loading for you, i went ahead and put what they are next the boys’ names hehe)

idia shroud — yin and yang cat necklaces!

“idia, you good?” you asked, watching him become completely still and staring at his palms, where his half of the necklace sat. then the tips of his hair started to turn into a cute pink.

“all these c-cheesy romantic things you do are gonna kill me.” he finally spoke in a quiet voice. well, not that i’m upset about it, he whispered to himself with an awkward grin.

“i better go ahead and get you a coffin then, because i got a lot more things coming— i ordered some other matching things, like shirts, oh and—!” idia cuddled into his hoodie, excited (and kind of nervous at the same time) at what was in store for him.

idia’s not a big jewelry guy, but he does wear this surprisingly frequently! when he isn’t though, he has it on him in a pocket or something. he likes to play around with it when he’s in the middle of class, bored. it’s entertaining to him for some reason. but then again, anything other than listening to a teacher’s long-winded rambling is.

one time he accidentally lost it and cried on his bed for like two hours while ortho went out to hunt for it. and phew idia was so relieved when it was found, he can’t even express it or put it into words.

jade leech — mushroom necklaces!

“i love it.” jade gasped the second he saw it.

“oh, that was quick— i’m glad you like it though! i had a feeling you would, since you’re so interested in mushrooms and all.” you smiled, pulling the magnets apart and handing one of the necklaces to him.

he went ahead and asked for you to put it on him. “how does it look, dear? does it compliment me well?” he grinned. you giggled, nodding. “you’re lookin’ handsome, jade.”

wears it everyday, 24/7– and if for some reason he can’t, like if azul says it breaks mostro lounge uniform policy, jade will go and keep it safe in his room. (or just ignore it— i mean, if his brother can get away with wearing his tie all loose and shirt unbuttoned, he should be able to wear a little mushroom necklace)

it does look a little silly on him though— in a good, adorable way! it’s just that he looks so professional and then you see this little plastic mushroom hangin’ off his neck and can’t help but giggle, y’know? it’s precious!

very protective of it and always makes sure he knows where it is, this thing is never getting lost— and thank god, because this thing costed a pretty penny.

sebek — dragon necklaces!

“so, you humans symbolize your close bonds with necklaces?” sebek asked, analyzing the jewelry before grinning. “hmph! well, i must say, for a lowly human, you do have fine taste.”

“i’ll ignore the lowly human part— but thanks! i was thinkin’ about the fairy of thorns, and how she could turn into a dragon or something, then it led me to choosing this.”

sebek grinned. “hoho, so you’ve learned a thing about her! but there’s much more her highness could do, such as how she could wield flames of a bright gree—”

“sebeeek, i already know about that!” you whined. you told me about it for about the tenth time yesterday, you thought. “but anyways, there’s a phrase you haven’t said to me yet— just two words.”

he put his hand on his chin. “a phrase i should’ve said?” he hummed to himself before choking. “oh— OH!! i apologize for my discourtesy! human, i am grateful for your gift, THANK YOU!”

“n-no need to shout it!”

he likes it so much more than he admits, omg— he totally went to shove your gift in silver’s face and fanboyed about it to lilia (plus showed it off to like at least 3 random students who were just trying to pass by). but anyways, sebek wears it pretty often! and it looks so good on him too!!!

sebek is another one who will protect this thing like he’s gonna drop dead if he loses it. but on the off chance that he does lose it, he’s making people get up left and right to keep an eye out for it, while he himself goes around to check every crevice of the campus—

(also, he totally cried when he realized he didn’t know where it was lol)

i am now imagining kaveh going on a cleaning spree (bc let's admit it we all have gone into cleaning mode to procrastinate work-) and haitham freaking out (internally, like that emoji of his) bc he thought he misplaced the bookmark.... when kaveh just put back the book he was reading onto the bookshelf lmao

awwww that's adorable.... a necklace!!!! and a bracelet!!!!! pls i love love love jewelery gifts bc you can wear them all the time yesssss!!! i can also kinda see baizhu regularly giving you flowers somehow. probably overused the "these flowers are radiant, aren't they? yet none of them compares to you" line too lol ;))

he'd moan shakily when you do that, and momentarily his fingers might tighten a little around your hair, but he'd immediately release them and give you a choked out apology. please forgive him, you're just too good.... <3

the dragon instincts likes what it likes ykyk 🐉

"it's efficient and it works. i don't understand what your problem is." - al haitham when kaveh and i confront him about his choice in soap probably. u right he probably does it too while he fucks me from behi- /bonked

you're both so smitten with each other please i can't shldfkjsljdklfjlksdf <3 <3 <3 he'd admire every little thing too. the way your eyelashes flutter, the way your skin look under the sunlight, the way your lips are temptingly seducing him- ;)))

or he'd go to bed at 3 and wake up at 6 still looking like a GOD see what i did there LIKE HOW TF (cries look i love cooking but it's not my fault i'm not talented at it and lacks common sense with measurements-) how do i wake zhongli up? hmmmm on the very rare occasions that he's asleep unfortunately he's as still as a rock (ha). there is. there is nothing i can do to wake him up vi. i've tried kisses. i've tried bites. he's not waking up if he doesn't want to wake up hsldkfjlsdf

fun cough cough yes indeed we really should soundproof our bedroom huh he's a bastard but i love him nonetheless hsldfkjsd i guess i'd have my payback tho. since he's being rude with waking me up, whenever i have to do it, i'd do the same to him lmao probaby would do morning blowjobs that always start out the day strong-

[frecklystars]

random question!! do you have any flowers that you associate w/ your f/os? (aside from starscream ofc)

I fuckin LOVE random questions, especially today, it has been a DAY!! Thank you, angel 🥺💙💙

I associate Megatron (and a little bit of RiD2015 Starscream, for the Saving Starlight AU) w/ forget-me-nots because of the whole "I want to be the one you remember" thing ✨✨

I also associate him w/ red roses because I (used to) have him call me his "little rose" when I first started inserting into the TFP universe. I mean WAY early into the universe before I even properly added him to my F/O list. I'd have art where he's choking on thorns and everything but he's too enraptured by the beauty of the actual flower to really care abt the fact that he's ruining himself at the same time. However the petname "little rose" has not stuck with me and I switched over to "little warrior" "little rebel" and it fits much better!! But I'll still draw some roses next to him every now and then; it symbolizes how mutually hurtful/toxic the megakeri dynamic rly is but they keep coming back for more because we're idiots 💔🥀

I'll add Knockout's ship tag in reblogs w/ rose pics, too! Same with Julia from Cowboy Bebop. Oh! And Gordy from ndssg!!

Grimlock!!! 🌸🌸🌸 Cherry blossoms! I don't know why. He canonically loves azaleas from Cybertron's acid wastes, so like... idk why my brain sees cherry blossoms of all things, NOTHING to do with this big "scary" dinobot, and thinks "oh! Grimlock!" and there's actually a lot of cherry blossom aes posts in his ship tag on my blog sldfjsdlf

Steeljaw is also associated with forget-me-nots! I could not tell you why... I've drawn a couple pics where he meets me in a field/patch full of them, sort of giving off the little red vs big bad wolf vibe, so maybe it's that? what IS it about me and meeting my F/Os in ambiguous flower fields slkjslfsfd??

Breakdown! I always call him my sweetest buttercup, and now I can't help but think of him when I see those flowers! It's because of his really beautiful yellow optic(s) 💛

Disney fairies!! Tinker Bell's fave flowers are canonically silverbells, so!! that, too!! Vidia's fave flowers are also irises, so I always think of her when I see those.

Sunflowers 🌻🌻 I associate with Robbie Rotten, and honestly I feel mixed about this one because in the episode Swiped Sweets, he's hissing "I LOATHE SUNFLOWERS" bc he's allergic to them. But in OTHER episodes such as The Greatest Genie, he's playing with them, and in the ep Hero for a Day he's just straight up wearing them like sunglasses. I'm assuming he made fake/plastic sunflower sunglasses so they won't make him have a reaction, but like, why would your design choice be the one flower you're allergic to? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Do I present sunflowers to him as a gift or not?? I DON'T KNOW.

I associate sunflowers with Bumblebee (Knightverse 2018 movie), too!!

And finally, those special starflowers with the little colorful symbols on them, exclusive to BAPC, is what I associate Puppycat/Space Outlaw with. For... obvious reasons slkdfjsdf

I know I have way more flowers for way more F/Os but this is long enough as it is LOL thank you for asking, anon!!! 🥰🥰

Imaginary Friend Book Review

Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky Book Review 

This is undoubtedly the weirdest book I have ever read. 

You might be thinking… but, thetypedwriter you read fanfiction! This can’t be the weirdest thing you’ve ever read! Things like ABO universes exist!

You would think that, wouldn’t you?

But no. 

I shall endeavor to give you a spoiler free synopsis of the book first followed by my thoughts and criticism, but note that this is an endeavor for a reason. I have now explained this novel in depth to two different people, and both times I have found myself completely and irrevocably stuck on how to even begin, let alone end. 

With that forewarning, here we go. 

The novel surrounds a single mother and her young son moving to a small Pennsylvania town in order to escape the tragedies of their past that include the passing of her husband and her current abusive boyfriend. 

However, while things in their new home start out well-they find solutions to unemployment, poverty, the son’s dyslexia, etc, things start to go awry when Christopher, the son, is lured into the Mission Street Woods at the edge of town by a voice only he seems to be able to hear. 

As Christopher continues to listen to the voice in the form of a cloud, or a plastic bag, or even inside of his mind, he starts recruiting his friends to build a treehouse in the woods that will transport him to a different time and place. The voice, lovingly called the Nice Man, instructs him to finish the tree house by Christmas Day. 

Or else everyone will die. 

As Christopher struggles with newfound powers and responsibilities, coping with two different worlds, his mother struggles with her son’s sanity, the town struggles with anger, blame, and temptation, and what follows is the chaotic descent of a small town into the throes of good versus evil, love and loss, and most importantly, trying to differentiate what is real versus what is imaginary. 

In the simplest terms possible (a facetious statement if there ever was one), I thought this was going to be a thriller mystery book about a single mother and her young seven-year-old son Christopher leaving their home and her abhorrent abusive boyfriend in order to start a new life with hope and potential. 

And it….is? 

But it doesn’t stop there. Chbosky crams so many genres, themes, motifs, and messages into this book that when you think about it, it’s unsurprising that it’s over 700 pages long with the tiniest, most miniscule font I have ever had to squint at. 

However, make no mistakes like I did, this book is horror. 

Yup. You read that right folks, horror. 

To preface, and I might have mentioned this in another post for another book at some point, but I vehemently dislike horror of any kind. This extends to books, movies, shows, etc. 

I understand that horror is a great joy and pleasure for a vast amount of people and that it contains its own literary merit, tropes, and rules, and I can appreciate that for what it is from afar, but I personally take very little enjoyment from consuming anything horror related (I apologize to all the Stephen King fans out there in the world). 

I did not fully realize the extent to which this book was a true horror. 

This is entirely my own fault. I was very much blinded by the rosy colored glasses from college when I first read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Chbosky’s first and only other novel. 

Perks is wonderful. It is a tragic, yet fundamentally hopeful and loving bildungsroman that shows the beauty and the pain of growing up and accepting yourself. The movie with Emma Watson is what dreams are made of. 

I committed author fraud when I picked up Imaginary Friend based on the pure speculation that I would most likely like it since he had written Perks, a book I adored as both a reader and a teacher. 

I’ve warned readers against this in the past, but it seems like I should have taken my own advice: just because an author has written one good book or one book you like, does not automatically mean you will like their second book, or any of their other books for that matter. 

This cannot possibly ring more true for Stephen Chbosky, as not only are his two books completely different in narrative and structure, but also vastly different in genre and purpose. 

I should have stuck with my gut and realized that I probably wouldn’t like this book based off the synopsis, the genre, and yes, even the cover (it looks scary to me, okay?), but I said noooooo, it’s Chbosky, you have to read it!

And this is where we ended up. 

First of all, I didn’t hate the book. 

I can recognize that it is extremely well written, well crafted, and well developed. I can enjoy a slew of characters, and oh boy are there a multitude to pick from, and I can give credit where credit is due. 

Chbosky is a talented writer. There is no doubt in my mind about this. The way he crafts words, the way he plays with texture and space, and with fonts and sizes, is nothing less of sheer brilliance. 

He undoubtedly is also masterful at motifs, foreshadowing, and symbolism. Notably, there were so many recurring objects, colors, metaphors, and so on that were sprinkled out so consecutively and intentionally throughout the novel-some I didn’t even pick up until the end-that I was left reeling from how immensely talented and brilliant he is. 

Things like his use of baby teeth, blue moon, and fogs/clouds/mist struck me in particular. I know this seems like gibberish, but Chbosky truly came across as understanding what he wanted to portray and how he wanted to deliver it. 

However, the biggest compliment I can give to Chbosky is the sheer magnitude of his imagination and creativity. This book almost overwhelmed me through the use of ideas and concepts I had never really thought of before. 

Alternate dimensions? Check. 

Supernatural powers? Check. 

Incredible use of diction and figurative language? Check and check. 

Chbosky had so many wild and tantalizing beautiful turns of phrases, expressions, and descriptions that it left me with the same sort of gasping epiphany that Maggie Steifvater’s writing always leaves me with, the feelings that writing can be so utterly beautiful and compelling, that it can be all-consuming as well as never ending with its potential to stun, to create, and to warp to unique needs and purposes. 

It definitely was a reading experience quite like any other I’ve had. 

Be that because of the horror genre or because of Chbosky’s odd, yet addicting writing style and this has definitely become a book that left me more than a bit dumbfounded. Although I’ve sung its praises and admitted to my own faults at this point, this book isn’t without flaws. 

To me the horror genre itself is just not my cup of tea like I’ve stated. Strike number one. 

Second, the book was...abysmally long. Atrociously long. As I’ve also said before, I do not mind large books. In fact, big books when you’re reading something you love is a true blessing. Finding that fanfiction at 3am that hooks you immediately and you look up to see its 300k? Amazing. 

Starting a new book series that you fall in love with body and soul and realize you have several installments left in the series to gorge and devour? Ecstasy. 

Sloughing through a single book that starts to drag on and on repetitiously for what seems like forever? Borderline hell. 

This book could have been 300 pages shorter and still contained everything Chbosky wanted to accomplish. It could have had the same brilliant writing, messages, and motifs, but without all of the never-ending back and forth between worlds and battles that just kept popping up time and time again. The abominable length considering its content is strike two. 

Last, the ending was a bit of a cluster. At this point in the novel, so much is going on, you are being exposed to so many pov’s that it’s almost stress-inducing, and events taking place are cataclysmic and 10/10 on drama. Chbosky bit off more than he could chew here. 

The book choked itself at the end, which, after reading for 700 pages is not the feeling you want to have. The ending left me befuddled, disappointed, and also bereft of a conclusive end and explanation for the shitstorm that had just rained down. It was not the ending I wanted, could understand, or could even really grasp. Strike three. 

This book has a plethora of merits followed by three enormous criticisms. If you like horror, then you’ve already crossed hurdle number one. If you can accept it’s repellant length (let alone have days upon days of free time to actually ingest said behemoth) then that’s hurdle number two. 

Hurdle three is up to you. Perhaps you would like the ending where as I found it lacking in structure, content, and answers. I like my endings tied up with neat little bows. I don’t like to be left thinking...hmmmm what does this mean? 

If I am going to read your massive book, I deserve an ending that satisfies the journey. Authors telling readers that it’s up for interpretation makes me want to strangle something. It comes across as enormously pretentious to me and oftentimes lazy. 

In the case of Chbosky, I think he had given himself so many loose threads that the neat little bow I desired was next to impossible. 

So he didn’t even try. 

Score: 6/10

Recommendation: If you love The Shining, are lacking bouts of creativity and imagination, have lots of free time during Quarantine, and don’t mind having an Inception-esque ending where you might not get all the answers you want, while being tasked with concocting it for yourself, Imaginary Friend might be your new best friend. 

Bonus: Here’s a pic of my kitty photo bombing this book shoot. Hope she brightens your day!

Okay so...this is...kind of a good thing, right? Like, obviously, Billie is still an issue, and obviously, Chuck is still an issue, but the FAMILY is TOGETHER again!! This is GOOD!! Why are my friends so upset about this episode?? What could possibly happen? (Anything. Anything could happen. Why would I even ask that?) 

Wow. That’s an awesome camera shot.  <3 

The smoothness of that omg I love them.  

YES DEAN!!! 

I FORGIVE YOU!! SAM FORGIVES YOU!!! <3 <3 <3 

ALL BETTER!!! I FORGIVE EVERYONE!! THIS IS GOOD!! <3 <3 <3 

(I mean, he still kind of owes Jack an apology, but, like, based on his character, everything he just did for Jack was his biggest way of saying sorry. <3 <3) 

HE SNAPPED OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF YOU SAM! 

Also it’s true. 

OMG EVEN BETTER CAMERA SHOT NOW THAT THEY’RE BOTH IN IT!! <3 <3 <3 <3 

It’s okay! Because YOU GUYS are the heavy hitters!

Okay but, like, gotta be honest...I don’t think it’s Billie. Cause...these people are vanishing just like Becky did...like Chuck made her.

NO NO NO NO NOOOO!!! 

She has to be fine. 

GO GO GO!!!

My ending has Sam ending up with Eileen at the end. She better not be dead. 

Oh thank goodness. That’s a text thread. Good. 

But, like...if people are vanishing, what do they do? How do they protect her? 

....it’s gonna stop isn’t it.

FRICK!!

NO NO NO NO NO!!!

....

I can’t...

I can’t type...

I’m hyperventilating.

There are tears just streaming. 

WTF??!! 

DID THEY SERIOUSLY JUST INFINITY WAR THIS SH**??!! 

ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME??!! 

YOU HIT ME WITH CAS??!! 

AND THEN THIS??!! 

I can’t type...

.....

HOLY. 

FRICK. 

Just so we’re clear. 

I am writing this review portion. 

A good two hours after watching that episode. 

And I’m still crying. 

Even thinking about everything that just happened. 

What. 

The. 

F**k. 

WTF WAS THAT??!! 

DID THEY JUST--

DID THEY ACTUALLY--

*SCREAMS* 

Okay, let me try this again, and I’m gonna try extra hard not to burst into tears this time. 

That. 

Was. 

Epic. 

Oh my god. 

Between all of the s**t that’s going down in the world (and yes, I saw all the memes), THIS was the LAST thing I was expecting. 

DESTIEL.

IS.

CANON. 

CAS.

IS.

DEAD.

GUYS!!!

SERIOUSLY HELP!!! 

I...I can’t even process. 

Destiel is canon. 

Supernatural is Avengers: Infinity War. 

Jack destroys anything he touches. 

And meanwhile, Nevada is still counting votes, and Putin stepped down. 

Man. This is a day.  

Everything hurts. 

And I’m still crying. 

Okay. 

Despite all of the emotional trauma that this has caused, I’m going to try really hard to analyze this episode like I usually do. 

Let me just start with: wow. 

The cinematography in this was incredible, and Richard Speight’s acting was genius. Everything about this episode--visuals, music, set, everything--was just so brilliantly done and flowed so beautifully together. The scene changes, the transitions, the build-up of tension--it was beautiful. 

They hit those emotions right from the start, in big ways and subtle ways. Between putting beloved characters in danger, to killing some of them off entirely, to little hugs and smiles and words spoken, I was just as shaky and teary-eyed as I was last week. 

And all of it--all of it--culminated into one of the most beautiful scenes that this show has ever created. The amount of raw emotion that was in that Destiel scene was beautiful. The facial expressions of Cas and Dean were so clearly conveying how they felt--how deep Cas’s love truly was, and how scared and confused Dean was. The script. Those lines. The delivery. All of it put meticulously together, piece by piece, in a terrifying, emotional, tension-filled sequence that made something happen that the show has needed for years.

We finally got Destiel. 

And then to have it ripped away, just like that, because Cas was finally happy. Cas was finally happy because he told Dean how he felt, and because he could go out doing the one thing he’d always wanted to do--love him so much that he had to save him. 

Holy. 

Freaking. 

Cow. 

Look.

I was not a Destiel shipper from Day 1, okay? I wasn’t. I always saw their relationship as a brotherhood, and a friendship, and a special bond. 

But as the years went on, and I continued re-watching old episodes and comparing them to new ones, I started to see the Destiel relationship for what it was. 

And let me tell you right now: this scene? This was the final icing on the cake. 

If you didn’t already see the Destiel, then this...this should’ve done it. 

Because wow.

And while we’re talking about “wow”...

Misha Collins. 

Misha. 

F***ing. 

Collins. 

Holy god almighty. 

That was an INCREDIBLE acting moment. 

That was an Oscar-winning, Emmy-winning, stardom performance from a true legend. 

The way he conveyed all of that raw emotion, and the way the tears fell as he just let it all out. Every pronunciation fo every word was so deliberate and done in just the right way. 

And to end it all with the most satisfied, happiest look as his character gave his life for the man he loved. 

As he pushed his lover away and left a bloody handprint behind. 

Misha F***ing Collins is a F***ing Rockstar. 

Holy sh**. 

That could not have a been a better ending for Castiel. 

All of the parallels, and all of the callbacks, and everything that has happened between Cas and Dean came to a head in that very moment. 

And as much as I cried, and as much as I will still be crying for a long, long time...

It was beautiful. 

Then, after all of that, to just top it all off with everyone disappearing, Infinity War style, and to end on that scene of Dean crying, head in his hands, on the floor, weeping, his only remnant of his lost love staining his shoulder. 

And Sam and Jack, just staring into the nothingness that is the rest of the world before staring at each other, lost, and confused, worried that the rest of their family is dead and gone and they’re the only ones left. 

I have no words. 

I cannot describe how incredibly horrifying, and hurtful, and emotional, and beautiful that entire episode was. 

From start to finish, it was a true masterpiece. And I cannot say that enough. 

With two episodes left, I have no idea where this is going to take us next. 

I don’t know if Cas is going to come back. 

I have a feeling he isn’t. Not with an ending like that. At least, not in a way we might expect. 

But I do think we’ll get a resolution to the Destiel moment. I think Dean will have a moment where he wishes he could’ve had the courage to say it back, or a moment where all we see is him grieving, just as Sam grieves Eileen. 

And I wonder if, when all is said and done, Cas will come back in some other way--in heaven, or in dreams, or in some form. Because that would be a good way to do it, in my opinion.

But beyond that, I don’t know what’s next for Sam and Dean and Jack. 

I have a feeling that, like Infinity War (I’m sorry, but that’s totally what it reminded me of), not everyone will stay dead. My hope is that they’ll be brought back somehow. After all, that’s what our boys are all about, right?

But honestly, I don’t know anymore. 

Any theories I had about the deaths of future characters or the survival of others was thrown out the window by Cas’s death in this episode, and honestly, I’m going to be crying about that for the foreseeable future. I’ll never get over it, but at the same time, I won’t even not love it, because it was perfect, and with it came Destiel. 

That’s honestly all I can say. The tears are still falling, and my heart is still aching, but god da**it, that was a good episode. 

My Rating: 25/10 (These numbers are just going to keep getting higher and higher, aren’t they? I probably should’ve started lower...) 

P.S. I honest to god am still trying to process all this, so I’ll react to the promo tomorrow night. <3

The Divine Comedy Theory, Part 1

All right, here’s my Divine Comedy theory that I’ve been working on the past few weeks. First, let’s remember that tptb said the golf club in Still represented the 9 circles of Hell. The 9 Circles of Hell come from Dante’s books, including Divine Comedy and The Inferno. So they’re obviously using those books as symbol templates.

But the point is, that much of it isn’t a theory. It’s fact. Tptb CONFIRMED this. It’s now just up to us to try and figure out the interpretation, HOW they’re using it. And that’s what I’m attempting to do here.

We also saw a sign reading, “Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here” near Rick and Negan in S8. That is also a Dante thing. In the Divine Comedy (TDC) that sign is seen when one is entering hell. More on that later.

I decided to divide this into 2 parts because it’s very long. Today, I’ll summarize the Divine Comedy itself and talk about how seasons of TWD might correspond to the different circles of hell. Tomorrow, I’ll talk about Still and the “Abandon all Hope” sign. Here we go:

THE DIVINE COMEDY: A BREAKDOWN

The story starts on Good Friday and ends on Easter. Obviously, that's a good sign.

We start with Dante who is lost in the dark wood. Above him, the sun shines on a mountain peak and he attempts to climb it to get to where the sun is, but his path is blocked by a leopard, a lion, and a shewolf. (Yes, I'm side eyeing the she-wolf thing as well.)

Discouraged that he can't get to where the sun is, Dante returns to the dark wood. He sees the ghost of the poet Virgil, who says Dante's path must take him through Hell but Virgil will guide him and eventually he will reach his beloved, Beatrice. He also tells Dante that Beatrice, who is deceased, and two other holy women are the ones who sent Virgil to him. They knew of his plight and took pity on him. (I really think this is probably the tie to the three Marys.)

So, they head into Hell. This is where we get the sign, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." 

The first region that Dante enters is actually the anti-inferno. It's what you might call the antechamber or waiting room of hell. There are still people there, though. Those who couldn't commit to good or evil, fence-sitters who wouldn’t make a choice. They chase a blank banner while hornets bite them and worms lap up their blood.

To actually get to the gate of hell, Dante and Virgil have to go across the river. They do and then they reach the first circle of hell, which is called Limbo. Here, there are pagans. Those who never knew Christ.

The second circle is for those who committed the sin of lust. They swirl about in a terrible storm. The third circle is for the gluttonous. They lie in the mud and endure a rain of excrement.

The Fourth Circuit is for the avaricious and the prodigal. They charge at one another with giant boulders. I was a little confused by why the prodigal would be here. In the Bible, the prodigal isn't generally regarded as a crime or sin. But reading further, the prodigal son did waste the resources that his father gave him before returning to his father and asking for forgiveness. So, these are people who are wasteful in a really bad way. Apparently, they charge at one another around a semi-circle, smack into each other, turn around to go the other way, and repeat it all again.

In the fifth circle are the wrathful. The struggle with each other in the river Styx which is a swampy and fetid cesspool. The Sullen are also there, and they lie beneath the water, choking on the mud.

The sixth circle is for the heretics. The circle is populated by tombs which are surrounded by flames.

The seventh circle has three rings and houses the violent. The first ring is for people who are violent toward others. They spend eternity in a river of boiling blood. The second ring is for those violent toward themselves (suicides). This is kinda interesting. They endure eternity in the form of trees. (I don’t think TWD uses the trees as suicides, necessarily, but maybe more for people who inadvertently caused their own deaths through their actions. I was thinking about Deanna saying of Pete, “Let the trees have him.” Which suggests she’s consigning him to hell. Just a thought.) The third ring is for those violent toward God (blasphemers) violent toward nature (sodomites) and violent toward art (usurers).

The eighth circle is full of evil pockets of people. There are 10 pockets. I opted not to go through them all here because, at least for now, I don’t think they’re relevant. Just ten types of sinners such as flatterers, thieves, people who took bribes, etc.

Finally, the Ninth Circle. In order to reach it, they descend into a well that leads to a frozen lake. In the first ring are those who betrayed their kin and they are standing up to their necks in the frozen lake. The second ring holds those who betrayed their country, and they are standing up to their heads in a frozen lake. In the third ring are those who have betrayed their guests. They lie on their backs with only their faces sticking out of the water. The fourth week ring is for those who have betrayed their benefactors and they are completely submerged.

At the center of this ring is a shrouded, gigantic form which is Lucifer. He has three mouths that are chewing on three sinners: Judas Iscariot, Cassius and Brutus. Those who famously betrayed their masters.

Dante and Virgil climb down Satan's clothing to get to the very bottom of the 9th circle of hell. Interestingly, Dante is carried on Virgil's back. So, we have a serious piggyback going on here.

After they climb down Satan, they cross the river Lethe and emerge from hell on Easter morning before sunrise.

HOW IT MAY CORRESPOND TO TWD:

Okay, so that’s a very broad synopsis of TDC.

Let's talk about a few different ways we can possibly interpret this. First off, my very general theory is that (and we’ve said things similar to this before) that the post-apocalyptic world = hell and in a sense all our characters are Dante. Which means the walkers in this analogy represent the souls who are already in hell. Think of it this way. In the story, Dante is a living person that has to pass through hell. In fact, in many of the circles, the gate keepers and such try to keep him from passing because he’s still alive. But he always gets special permission to do so. So, it’s a “being alive among the dead” sort of theme. The dead, of course, being the walkers.

And the reason that’s important is because some of how we can interpret this is based on how walkers are portrayed throughout different seasons. Let me also say that this is a very loose interpretation and I’m by no means positive I’m interpreting this right. Some of this is hard to nail down.

So, I tried to make different seasons and arcs of the TWD story fit the different circles of hell. For example, I would say this analogy really starts in S4, because I think it's purposefully placed and wouldn't have begun heavily until Gimple took over. So, I think all of S4 was the anti-inferno or antechamber before they got to hell. In the same way that S4 foreshadowed many coming arcs, this was just a little bit beforehand.

Crossing into hell would be Beth and Daryl's separation. I was thinking that the first circle, Limbo, which is described as housing those who never knew Christ, might be Terminus. (Beth is the Christ figure and she never made it to Terminus.) The second circle is for those who lust and they walk about in a terrible storm. I thought of 5x10 and the storm they went through there. The third circle is for the gluttonous. This one stumped me a little bit. Its still rain and a storm, but it talked more about mud and people being blown around in the storm. So, it could be part of 5x10, but I also thought of the big storm they had in FTWD S5. I'm not sure about that one.

The fifth circle talks about people running at one another with huge boulders. I thought of the rock quarry in S6. 

Total side note: I was looking for a picture of the rock quarry to put in here, and I came across this pic below. Quint means 5, and then of course it actually says “Gate 5.” I’ve always thought this pointed back to S5, to show that Glenn’s death fake-out is a template of Beth. But this may also point to this being a symbolic representation of the 5th circle of hell. Just saying. ;D

Then there's the sixth circle. It talks about people struggling with each other in the river Styx and it swampy and fetid. The thing that came to mind here is the swamp walkers in S8. This was when Tara was still trying to kill Dwight and Daryl and co took all the kids away from Alexandria and to Hilltop. Remember, they made a big deal about swamp walkers? So I wondered if this could be in line with that in season eight. The walkers show what circle of hell therein.

Another tier of the sixth circle is tombs surrounded by flames. I think the thing that embodies that more than anything else we've seen would be the Whisperers. We saw the burning of Hilltop and the Whispers represent death anyway. I could see Alpha representing a heretic in various ways, not least because they pretend to be walkers when they’re not.

What I’ve said so far is what I discovered and got super excited about a few weeks ago when I first started doing this. Because it told me that by using this template, we might be able to get an idea of when Beth would return.

But you can probably see the first problem I ran into. If we’re only at the sixth circle, we still have three more circles before Beth returns, right? (Assuming that she returns at the end of this and Dante emerging from hell on Easter will signal Beth and Daryl reuniting.) But I don’t think it will be three more seasons or whatever until we see her. Truly.

So, I kinda got stumped because even reading through the seventh, eighth and ninth circles, nothing was jumping out at me that suggests we’ve seen the events corresponding to those circles, yet. I'm sure we could find some way to compare them to events in the story, but just nothing really obvious stood out.

But don't despair yet. I was originally a little unsure about this, but I started looking at the actual events of Still, it made me feel much better. I think I understand now why it's laid out this way.

So once again, come back tomorrow and we’ll talk about Still, and then about Rick, and maybe about the chess theory. Stay tuned!

[darkdevasofdestruction]

Hello! :) Here again to drop a Yu-Gi-Oh! ask, because I dreamt about it last night and can't help myself lol I decided to throw in a Seto Kaiba Headcanons request today, if that's okay with you. Some Headcanons about him attempting to win his S/O's heart. I'm wondering how he would go about it! I'll sign my anon asks with this -💙 Don't know if the ask box lets symbols go through, but I'll try! I'm hoping you're having a good day so far! :)

I love you to the moon and back and honestly, thank you so much for sending such adorable YuGiOh requests! Even more, Seto is my YuGiOh crush and this just makes it an infinite times better

And omg yes, that little blue heart is so adorable, I love you so much, please sign yourself that way, dear Blue Heart Anon

Okay Okay, so we’re talking about the most over the top guy in the whole universe, so basically, he will to  A N Y T H I N G  to win your heart over.

And I mean it.

He was extra enough to create and pilot a Blue Eyes White Dragon (BEWD for short) plane, so like 

??? 

There’s no boundary for what he’d invent for you.

I want to say that he’d be super smooth and flirty, but I think we all know he’d choke on his words before he could actually SAY what he’s been rehearsing for so long (despite Mokuba encouraging him) so he’d settle for writing a ton of letters that he’d rip apart and burn because they aren’t perfect enough for you to read and truly understand his feelings.

He’d come to pick you up from home extremely random with his BEWD plane and you’d go to Disneyland just to have fun for hours.

Of course, he’d say that it doesn’t compare to Kaiba Land, but it’s a nice change of scenery.

Also, he won’t admit it too soon, but he loves Disney movies, especially watching them with you and Mokie.

But hear me out, the best part comes right now.

After he finds out more about you, he’s gonna make Disney create a Disney movie after you and him and you will be the super badass Disney Princess that is a hardcore gamer, and he is the Number 1 Gamer Prince and whatever the hell he wants to make.

Of course, after this is done, he will make a special place for Y/N Gamer Corner which is basically a huge gaming area, completely high tech hologram like, just like he did with Duel Monsters, and all your favourite games will be featured and available to play there, be it multiplayer or singleplayer.

Literally a dream come true.

You can’t tell me that he hasn’t already won your heart by now.

I mean, all the effort, the feelings, the imagination and creativity (and money) invested into making your dreams (some that you had no idea you had) come true.

And of course, when your heart bursts out with emotions and you ask him why does he go through all the trouble to make you so happy, instead of using his money to make himself and Mokie happy, he says that you’re family to both of them.

And then he looks away and says that he wants you to be his girlfriend (or that Mokie wants you to be around more often).

Of course, he doesn’t want you to see him blushing, but it’s impossible not to, especially when his face is so perfectly pale and gorgeous.

And of course, you accept, because how could you not, he’s the perfect boyfriend.

Very soon, he gives you a matching trench coat so you can match and be the perfect ( E X T R A as F U C C ) Gamer Couple.

Just like you see Jessie and James in Pokemon, you two stand back to back, showing off how awesome you are, in a generic Protagonist ( JoJo) pose.

And Meow is Mokie, of course, standing in the middle like the little sassy mascot that he is.

Be gentle with this guy though, he’s still learning about how to be a boyfriend, okay?

He’s like “Okay, I did everything, but I didn’t think past this point, so I don’t know what to do.”

He’s already had a tough time learning how to be a Dad/Older Brother for Mokuba and a CEO and literally all professions at once, but being a boyfriend is a bit different, especially since he barely experienced any kind of maternal love or seen what it’s like to allow yourself to show weakness and allow yourself to heal through nurturing and love.

But once he sees that it’s all good, he slowly lets his barriers and walls down and allows you to actually be a girlfriend and with time, he learns how to become a real boyfriend and everything comes naturally.

You’re absolute #CoupleGoalz and everybody envies you.

And obviously, your social media is F U L L is couple pics, super high tech stuff, funny videos, aesthetic pics, travel pics and all the super neat things you get to experience, which is a LOT.

Chapter 1: The Banishing

Worldbuilding Notes on Fairies:

The origin of how fairies came to be is rather unknown. Their attributes and used honorifics suggest they are of Korean descent.

Fairies can be creatures of trickery. Though not inherently evil, fairies possess the ability to manipulate easily if they so please (not all use this ability, though). While they can also sometimes use aura reading to detect whether someone is lying or not, a fairy’s downfall is that they themselves cannot lie. Despite this, they are talented at twisting words and finding loopholes in different situations.

A Fairy’s magic ability is similar to that of witches, but it is easier for them to learn as they are born with a close connection to magic itself, while witches spend years and years learning to connect with magic. Fairies are often good spies as they have their smaller form that can easily hide. Fairies are born with a given color - the color of their hair and eyes. These colors represent common personality traits (though not always 100% accurate from person to person, and not all fairies have all the traits the colors represent). A mix of two or more colors just means that the person has personality traits of multiple colors (i.e. a very dark blue would have traits of both blue and black).

(Link to the basis of color symbolism I’m using - https://www.color-meanings.com/)

Colors and their meanings:

(This part is optional to read, but I will be using this as a basis for fairy personalities in the story)

Red - The color of passion and energy. Red draws attention like no other color and radiates a strong and powerful energy that motivates us to take action. It is also linked to sexuality and stimulates deep and intimate passion.

Orange - The color of enthusiasm and emotion. Orange exudes warmth and joy and is considered a fun color that provides emotional strength. It is optimistic and uplifting, adds spontaneity and positivity to life, and encourages social communication and creativity. It is a youthful and energetic color.

Yellow - The color of happiness and optimism. Yellow is a cheerful and energetic color that brings fun and joy to the world. It makes learning easier as it affects the logical part of the brain, stimulating mentality and perception. It inspires thought and curiosity and boosts enthusiasm and confidence.

Green - The color of harmony and health. Green is a generous, relaxing color that revitalizes our body and mind. It balances our emotions and leaves us feeling safe and secure. It also gives us hope, with promises of growth and prosperity, and it provides a little bit of luck to help us along the way.

Blue - The color of trust and loyalty. Blue has a calming and relaxing effect on our psyche, that gives us peace and makes us feel confident and secure. It dislikes confrontation and too much attention, but it is an honest, reliable, and responsible color and you can always count on its support.

Purple - The color of spirituality and imagination. Purple inspires us to divulge our innermost thoughts, which enlightens us with the wisdom of who we are and encourages spiritual growth. It is often associated with royalty and luxury, and its mystery and magic sparks creative fantasies.

Pink - The color of love and compassion. Pink is kind and comforting, full of sympathy and compassion, and makes us feel accepted. Its friendly, playful spirit calms and nurtures us, bringing joy and warmth into our lives. Pink is also a feminine and intuitive color that is bursting with pure romance.

White - The color of purity and innocence. White is a true balance of all colors and is associated with cleanliness, simplicity, and perfection. It loves to make others feel good and provides hope and clarity by refreshing and purifying the mind. It also promotes open-mindedness and self-reflection.

Black - The color of power and sophistication. Black is an incredibly strong and intimidating color that exudes authority and makes us feel secure and protected. Often seen at formal and prestigious events, this mysterious marvel arouses and seduces our senses with its elegance and sexiness.

Gray - The color of compromise and control. Gray is neutral, conservative, and unemotional. It is practically solid as a rock, making it incredibly stable, reliable, and calming. It has a peaceful, relaxing and soothing presence. Gray avoids attention but offers mature, insightful advice to anyone who asks.

Brown - The color of stability and reliability. Brown is dependable and comforting. A great counselor and friend full of wisdom. You can count on its help if you need an honest opinion, support, and protection. It stabilizes us, helps us stay grounded, and inspires us to appreciate the simple things in life.

Hoseok listened to his older brother babble on to the other five high council members, trying to manifest the courage to speak up to him about what had been weighing him down since the last meeting.

Minseok, his brother, was not a bad person. However, he also wasn’t necessarily a good person either. As the crowned King of the Fairy Kingdom of Aurora, he wasn’t the worst candidate in their long history, not by a long shot. Hoseok had watched him exile a butler after he brought him an indigo-colored robe instead of a dark purple one by accident, but had also seen him send fresh-baked loaves of bread to the orphanage nearby as a treat for the children. He was a man capable of coming up with creative solutions but sometimes allowed his power and authority to cloud his judgment.

An enigma, his brother most certainly was.

This was why Hoseok was so nervous to bring up the topic on his mind. He wasn’t sure how Minseok was going to react, though no one ever really knew. Nevertheless, he needed to give it a try, for the good of their people.

“King Minseok,” Hoseok addressed, standing up from his seat when a lull came in the conversation. He bowed politely towards his brother. “There is a concern of mine that I needed to bring up, brother.”

The older man with a head full of shocking dark purple hair and eyes the same color looked at him curiously. “Yes, Hoseok-ah. What is the matter, brother?”

Hoseok gulped against the lump forming in his throat and forced himself to speak. His brother was being kind right now, but he knew the man could turn on a dime. “The army, brother. They have been urging us for some time now to give the soldiers more time before sending them to war.”

Minseok raised an eyebrow, “We have an alliance with the jinns, a promise to fight with them against the demons.”

“I know, my King,” Hoseok replied. “But our soldiers are being slaughtered on the battlefield. If we could change the laws in place and give them a few more months of training to build up their skills-”

“So, what you’re saying is that I should spend more money and time on our soldiers when the war they are fighting isn’t to be a long one?” The King asked, interrupting Hoseok’s words.

It was predicted that the jinns were going to win the war with the demons, though it was a slow process. “We’ve lost thousands of our citizens, Minseok-hyung.” Hoseok urged. “Lives were lost when they could have lived if only they had more skills and endurance. The captains have been coming to us since they realized the pattern months ago.”

Minseok furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. “We already give so many resources to the military, we don’t have anything to spare.”

“We’ll find some, we’ll find a way-”

“ENOUGH!” Minseok boomed, standing up from the throne and slamming his hands down on the table. “The way the laws are written right now give our soldiers plenty of time to refine their skills before they are sent off to fight. More soldiers come back than don’t and that’s more than we could ask for. I will not spend another second on this unimportant topic when there are other issues to be resolved.”

“But, hyung,” Hoseok pleaded. He knew he should just shut up, but the worried words of the captains wouldn’t leave his mind. “Perhaps you could just allow some of the captains to tell you their worries personally. I really think that we need to-”

Minseok’s dark purple hair began to lift around his golden crown, glowing and sparking with magic. That was when Hoseok knew it was over for him.

“Hoseok-ssi, you know better than to talk back to your King!” his brother hissed.

“Hyung, my King, I’m sorry-”

“You’re banished!”

Hoseok nearly choked. “W-What?”

“I’m banishing you from Aurora. How dare you rebel against the King!” Minseok raged, motioning for guards to grab onto Hoseok.

Hoseok could see the anger in his brother’s eyes, the betrayal, and knew that there was no changing the crazed, overdramatic sentence given to him.

“Minseok,” Hoseok looked at his brother with one final plea, “Please don’t do this. I didn’t mean to offend you in any way.”

Minseok snarled, his bright purple hair starting to glow and move as his power began to build up inside of him. “You’ve betrayed the crown. You’ve betrayed me. There is no place in Aurora for you any longer.”

Hoseok bent his head, knowing that his brother had truly made his decision and nothing he could say would change his mind. His own shocking orange hair lay flat against his head, no spark of power anywhere to be found - a sure sign of any fairy’s defeat.

The five councilmen who were occupying the table with the two brothers sat in silence, eyes sympathetic as they watched Hoseok being escorted out of the room.

There were ten guards that led them towards the Gate that was situated just outside the castle walls, two of them holding onto Hoseok’s arms like he was going to even try to get away. He knew better than that.

A misty, swirling wall of fog lay just behind the golden bars of the Gate. Hoseok could only watch with a defeated look in his eyes as his brother opened the right door of the Gate and then turned to look at him.

“Jung Hoseok, you are hereby banished from Aurora under my authority, King Minseok of the Fairy Kingdom. Shall you ever choose to return, you will be greeted with death.” Minseok snarled out his brother’s sentence with such malice it made Hoseok cringe. Then the King turned to the two guards holding Hoseok’s arms and ordered, “Throw him through the Gate.”

Hoseok, whose heart was racing with fear in his chest, didn’t fight the two men at all. As he was forced forward, he shut his eyes tightly and braced himself. He merely accepted his fate as he was pushed harshly into the swirling fog.

Now, Hoseok had never traveled worlds before, so he hadn’t ever experienced what it was like to go through a Gate before.

At first, it felt as if he was falling at a great speed, the breath snatched from his lungs. Then, he suddenly felt himself slow down before dropping onto some sort of hard surface.

Laying on the ground, Hoseok was reluctant to open his eyes. He knew that he must be on Earth now, as Earth was the center of the worlds, but he didn’t know exactly where. He couldn’t hear much besides the ruffling of some leaves in the breeze and birds chirping happily. The temperature was slightly cooler than he was used to, and his attire of matching silk shorts and a shirt certainly didn’t do anything to keep him warm.

Taking in a brave breath, Hoseok opened his eyes and took in the scene before him. He was in a forest lush with tall, green trees. Pretty blue flowers bloomed in patches on the ground, bringing Hoseok a bit of relief. Surely the place couldn’t be too bad if there were beautiful flowers blooming, right?

From Hoseok’s limited knowledge of Earth, he knew that it was the center of the realms and welcomed those of all supernatural backgrounds. While most supernatural beings had their own realm to call home, there were a few that didn’t. Vampires, shapeshifters, and witches lived primarily on Earth. Creatures like jinns, goblins, demons, and yes, fairies, all had their own realm.

Gates only existed between Earth and these worlds, but they were plentiful all across the Earth. Most Gates were situated in Gate Stations (just like a train station) but there were some that were simply situated in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, it appeared that Minseok had to make things even more difficult for his brother by sending him somewhere obscure. Hoseok hadn’t had the chance to see exactly where he was sending him to. A childish move on the older man’s part.

“Well, gosh marbles!” Hoseok shouted into the trees as he stood up and dusted himself off. “What am I going to do now?”

Where was he to go? What was he to do? The Fairy Kingdom was all he had known his whole life.

“E-Excuse me?”

Hoseok yelped with a start at the sudden voice, his head whipping around to find the source. He caught sight of a young-looking man peeking out from behind one of the trees to his left. He had big, curious doe eyes and didn’t appear to be much of a threat, but Hoseok knew from experience not to let his guard down.

“W-Who are you?” he asked, kicking himself when he stuttered.

The young man came out from behind the tree, revealing his all-black ensemble; jeans, a leather jacket, and some army boots. Hoseok remembered reading that fashion was quite different on Earth, but he was still surprised. “I’m Jungkook. Who are you?”

(JKs look) (except no beanie)

“Hoseok,” he replied cautiously.

“Did you just come through the Gate?” Jungkook asked, head tilting towards said Gate right behind Hoseok.

“Yes.”

Jungkook hummed thoughtfully. “No one’s come through that Gate in years.”

“Oh...” Hoseok said intelligently. “Um, could you perhaps tell me where I am?”

“Well, I would assume you at least know that you’re on Earth, but more specifically, you’re just outside of Seoul, South Korea.”

“South Korea...” Hoseok repeated, wracking his brain for anything he knew about this place. He knew that he’d heard of it, but he wasn’t sure where from.

“You’re a fairy, right?” Jungkook asked, rather excitedly. “Many fairies seem to have Korean in their blood. So technically, you’re in your ancient homeland!”

Ah, Hoseok thought, that makes sense. Fairies were rather sheltered about things outside of their own Kingdom, so while Hoseok had heard that they were possibly descendants of Earth’s South Korea, he didn’t know much about it at all.

Hoseok blinked at the smiling young man before him, whose grin and scrunched-up nose made him look uncannily like a rabbit, not to mention his adorable front teeth.

“Ah, sorry!” Jungkook turned a little sheepish. “Ever since my Jimin-hyung came, I’ve really wanted to meet another fairy so badly!”

Hoseok didn’t have time to register that apparently, South Koreans used the same honorifics as fairies, as the more important part of the young man’s statement caught Hoseok’s attention. “You know another fairy?”

“Mhm,” Jungkook nodded his head dutifully, his shaggy dark brown hair bobbing up and down with it. “Jiminie’s color is pink. And he lives with us.”

“Us?”

“Me and my hyungs! There are six of us. We live just a couple miles away from here.” Jungkook answered with a fond smile.

“A pack, huh?” Hoseok gave the young man a once-over when he realized he had no idea what creature Jungkook was. “Are you...human?”

Jungkook shook his head before opening his mouth and pointing at some very tiny but pointy incisors that hadn’t been there a moment ago. “I’m a vampire, like my Yoongi-hyung. I was obviously a human, though, before he saved me.” Jungkook’s smile faded a bit as he seemed to get lost in a memory.

“A little vamp, I see,” Hoseok replied, feeling like he needed to lighten the mood. “How old are you?”

“I’ve been a vampire for seven years, and I was twenty-three when I was turned.” A pretty young vampire then. Hoseok had read about vampires who lived to be thousands of years old.

“Well,” Hoseok began with a gentle smile, “I’m one hundred thirty-eight, so I guess that makes me your hyung.”

Jungkook let out a sigh of relief. “Good, I don’t like being a hyung.”

Hoseok chuckled at the younger’s adorableness before he remembered where he was and what had conspired for him to be here.

Jungkook must have noticed his expression sadden because he gave a little gasp. “Hoseok-hyung, do you need somewhere to stay? I’m sure my hyungs wouldn’t mind housing you for now.”

Hoseok honestly questioned the young man. Who in their right mind invited a total stranger into their home? Jungkook the baby vampire, apparently. Hoseok doubted that he had any nefarious ulterior motives for inviting him, as fairies were fairly good at reading others and he didn’t sense anything from him, but it was strange nonetheless.

However, Hoseok really didn’t have anywhere to go or any money to get a place to stay. He’d been thrown out of the only world he’s ever known and didn’t know what he was supposed to do. And he was tired, just plain tired from the eventful day.

So, he gave the only answer he really could.

“I would love a place to stay, Jungkook-ah.”

A/N: So...what did you think?

I’ve never written anything in the fantasy genre but I’ve been loving so many fantasy fics lately that I just had to take a try at it. I don’t know much about the specifics of the different supernatural creatures in legends and such, so these will mostly be of my own making, but with some common traits you probably know.

Please do not expect me to update this for a while, as I need to update a few other stories first, but I will not abandon this fic.

I tried to make it clear that Hoseok’s brother, Minseok, has an unstable mentality, and thus feeling like his brother betrayed him over something rather ridiculous and banishing him seemed reasonable to him. 

Please leave comments and likes as they fuel my motivation to write exponentially <3 And if you have any suggestions now or in future chapters for what you would like to see, I would love the ideas and will try to work them into the story (though I don’t have much solidly planned just yet anyways).

---

So far we know:

Seokjin - ?

Yoongi - Vampire

Hoseok - Fairy (138)

Namjoon - ?

Jimin - Fairy

Taehyung - ?

Jungkook - Vampire (30)

(I think you’ll meet the others in the next chapter!)

[ikonist]

this is abt hanbin and ikon so keep scrolling

so i was high a few days ago nd watched a video about hanbin and yun and realized that yun took such good care of hanbin. he always played the ‘hyung’ card on him, teasing him and saying that he loves hanbin all the time, said his ‘mission’ was to make hanbin happy. and that got me thinking that yun must’ve helped -both emotionally and physically- hanbin throughout the years… like,,, hanbin rarely acts childish around the members since he is the leader/songwriter/composer but he does it w yunhyeong bc yun doesn’t mind it.. yun always cooks for him knowing that he was up until late in the studio, avoids waking binie early (but does if he has to), and the other members said this a bunch of times but yun is a great listener so can you imagine the amount of times he listened to hanbin’s concerns and self doubts and never complained abt it cuz he’s yunhyeong lol but those thoughts made me so sad thinking how hard it must’ve been for hanbin these past 11 months without his brothers.

tbh i don’t care if hanbin decides to live his life quietly or just producing songs for himself/his friends. i don’t care if he comes out with a full comeback, mv, etc. i rlly don’t care. the only thing i genuinely care about is if he’s happy doing whatever he is doing, and he seems to be happy these past days, so that’s enough for now. i think i’m past that point of wondering what on earth he is doing, if he’s producing more songs, creating a label, etc, but if i could ask for just one little thing, it would be to show him how much his fans love him; to show him every tweet i see with “i miss hanbin”, “hanbin pics to brighten your day!” or “hanbin compilation” posts. to show him the heartbreaking and incredible edits and posts i’ve seen about him, and how much he is loved. i know that in demo 3 he said “i know i was loved”, but i want to tell him he is loved, still. ikon is loved. ikonics never gave up on them. god, not even one ONE!! hanbin fansite closed, and it has been almost a year. think of kpop idols who lost fansites for even less than that (not that i like fansites that much but the symbolism is there). i’m so grateful that he knows how much we think about him, but every time i feel like it’s not enough. i want him to know that we’ll always be here and he’ll always be in our hearts too. i wish hanbin could see himself thru my eyes and know how kind, talented, heartwarming he is.

sometimes i ask myself if i’m not being too ‘blinded by love’ when it comes to ikon (but especially about hanbin), but then again, what is it about ikon that makes me appreciate them so much? what makes me feel this empathy for them? what is it that when i think of them, i don’t see a boygroup. i see friends who are a ‘chosen family’, who know each other so well and would never give up on their brotherhood. never. how they are totally different people, but learned what being respected and appreciated feels like, and saw how much they could grow if they listened to one another. i’m not saying that they never fought (if anything i’d put my finger on donghyuk cuz hes a capricorn living with an aries ARIES and a capricorn sag dom.. i mean…. i’d throw hands if i were him), but they learned that hierarchy in the group wouldn’t lead them anywhere. in that iheart radio interview where the lady said ‘what is ur secret to have such great teamwork/chemistry’ and they said they don’t rlly have hierarchy and (to me) this is so important for a group like ikon. 

imagine if they never took anything chanwoo says seriously just because he’s the maknae even tho he is one of the most logical members? or what would happen if hanbin had to always act like the leader when he said yunhyeong would be best fitted for that? if bobby got mad at donghyuk for playing with him just because he’s younger and they never developed that friendship? at times like this i thank ikon for being such a down to earth group. they never took anything for granted. they were humble from the beginning and kept being humble, even when they received (a lot) of  awards. in the mma speech, hanbin said ikon was a group who tried to fill an ocean into a teacup, but that only made water spill everywhere, and i think that’s true. ikon was ambitious and had such a big desire to win that it led to so many heartbreaks and tough paths for them. 

i realized once i started (fully) stanning ikon that they make you feel this immensive empathy towards them to the point where i got choked up with tears learning about their hardships. i’m not trying to say that they’re the only group who went/goes thru this; in fact, i don’t believe anyone should be put to what they had to endure predebut until now. the countless times i cried watching videos of them sleeping on the floor on tour, watching interviews/vlives where they said they want to show us what they’ve been working on, watching concerts where they broke down in tears because ‘they just wanted to see us’. it breaks me because ikon are such good boys but they aren’t even allowed to show that.

in that concert where bobby said “please protect us” and hanbin said “please protect me”... that’s what i’m talking about. ikon was always true to us. the concert was in early 2019, so imagine what they’ve gone through in 2013-2015, when they were trainees. god i can’t even wrap my head around to think how much these boys (who at the time were 16-20) suffered in their early days. being called ‘b-list’ idols because they weren’t as good as the other yg groups. having to tour for a year doing two concerts a day sometimes, while preparing for comebacks/recordings. having to use oxygen masks to perform bc they were too tired. but they always put the biggest performances because they know that moment was once in a lifetime for us. 

when ikon won soty in 2019 it was clear to me how much they appreciate what we’ve done for them and how personal the fan/idol relationship is with them. i don’t mean it as in some delulu shit but... ikon knows that we trust them. they know we will always be loyal to them, and that’s why they treasure their fans the most. only ikon knows what they went thru since 2013, but some fans who have been with them ever since are proof that the bond has always been strong. for fuck’s sake even the fan chart for most of the songs “we will protect you ikon / we will care for you ikon / we will shine on you ikon / let’s be happy ikon”. i don’t wanna sound fake deep but ikonics reflect ikon in so many different ways. ikon is loyal, they are caring,  they never gave up on what they dreamed of, even if it seemed unreal. they know what’s like to see the ones you love fall and try to get them back up again. ikon lived so many failures and were SO critical about themselves for not debuting in 2013, trying to debut again in 2015 but not doing so well in charts, not being able to be free. they just wanted to sing. to be with each other. and yet they kept meeting obstacles along their way, but even so they never gave up. and i think that’s kinda what being an ikon fan is about too.

so, as for now, no one is sure about ikon’s path in the future but i can say that even though things might get tough a few months from now, ikon will always be that group for me.

IKON BEST BOYS

- do we ever find out how uther gets that scar bc i'm like 100% positive arthur was a little child and swayed his fucking sword too hard just as uther rounded the corner. the sword then collided into his fucking brain and destroyed a good part of his intelligence, targeting especially his morals on how to accept people and how to be a good father

- that’s my theory

- merlin starts talking enchantments in his sleep while gwens watching, and gaius is just there like wtf merlin ur blowing ur cover “oh! gwen!! uhhh sorry. he’s just... in a latin study group in his pastime and has an oral presentation in minutes”

- omg, nimueh, stfu

- i didn't know dinosaurs existed back then, this reptile be whack

- y’know what's funny? ppl thinking dinosaurs didn’t exist. i find creationism very very very intriguing bc how fucking stupid could you be

- that sword throw was faker than my moms tits

- arthur could have done better

- k but like what if merlin’s hand wasn’t under the covers? like he was just throwing that blue ball around right in front of gwen

- can arthur like not hear her? nimuehs literally enchanting the rocks right behind his ear lobes and arthur acts nothing of it until those said rocks collapse and he gasps and suddenly he realises shes evil

- also his fucking hair in this scene looks glorious. perhaps bc it's pushed back rather than his bowl cut, but its doing things to my abdomen

- i thought for a second she was pulling off her mask to say “nimueh” and arthur was gasping bc he only recognised her after her hair was shown, just like in that scene with joker and harvey in the hospital

- OH RIGHT THE SPIDERS I LIKE COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THOSE SONS OF A GUNS

- i’d be dead if those spiders came crawling up to eat me lmfao

- k so nimueh went from :) to >:D in half a second

- i'm smelling up those symbolisms, boys

- watch out pals cause here are some of them:

- merlin is the LIGHT of arthur’s life

- he LIGHTS up the party

- he gives arthur a BRIGHTER future

- he's the GUIDE for his path

- hahhahahaha

- i'm serious when i say i have a huge fear of insects (spiders count in that too, no discrimination) so i'm just putting that there, saying to yall id be fucking terrified

- gaius would be so confused, like we don't see his face here but merlins close-up sweaty concentrated frown, but he’s literally just screaming “ARTHUR!!” “FASTERRR!!” “YESS!!” “CLIMB!!!” gaius would be looking like he walked into something he wasn't supposed to. prob thinking he should just let the kid die so he doesn’t have to deal with this shit anymore

- UTHER LOCKED HIS SON AWAY I'M FUCKING QUESTIONING HIS PARENTING SKILLS

- that's grounding???? throwing ur child in prison???

- yes 999 can i have child services on his ass

- gwens so smart honestly i love her

- pretending to be a maiden for the food, god what a queen

- arthur buying it and saying “yuck you say this is food?! disgustang!”

- the fact that i misspelled disgusting but it autocorrected to disgustang (which is originally what i wanted but autocorrect shouldn’t have known) makes me consider if i should really check my dictionary…. who knows what words are on there

- they’re so smart

- and then this fucker ruins it all while eating his food, checking her out and saying yeah arthurs a prick, hyuck hyuck, realising only that wait fuck u aint the maiden

- how’d they know GWEN was the one not supposed to have delivered the food, what if it was that chick right there???

- welll….. maybe it's because gwen took her sweet time up those steps, staring as if she couldn’t blink at the guards below

- i forget what happens at the end of this episode besides the kiss, and there's like 9 minutes left my fingers may rot at this point

- wake him up! wake him up!

- OH WAIT HE DOESN'T FUCKING WAKE UP DOES HE AND EVERYONE PANICS

- YEAH OKAY I'M SEEING THAT NOW

- MERLIN STOPPED BREATHING

- LMAO GWEN IS IN TEARS

- “HE'S DEAD” SHE SAYS

- ARTHUR BB COME IN HERE TO KISS UR HUBBY ALIVE

- OH WAIT UR IN FUCKING PRISON

- WAIT UP, HE'S ALIVE AND SHE KISSES HIM AFTERWARDS????

- FUCK ME I THOUGHT FOR THE WHOLE EPISODE THE KISS HAPPENED BC HE COULDN'T WAKE UP THAT'S FUCKING WITH ME I DIDN'T KNOW

- i keep forgetting to switch up the cap locks, sorry if it seems im screaming im legit using my inside voice for most of the time just emphasizing my words a little more

- goddamn, everytime they say mercia i just think of “murica”, like those americans on the 7th of july or whatever date the “we love our country” day is, chanting it as they throw around beers and fireworks as people gather round in jerseys or crop tops

- it's not that hard to spot the european on here

- the most celebrated holiday here which contains a lot of beers and big pub gatherings (besides every fucking night honestly) is either new years, lowkey stereotypically correct saint patricks, and ig easter monday but that's more for the kiddos

- i mean ofc christmas and all that shit but im not the most devoted christian, i just like presents and small gatherings among good friends

- wow okay it wasn't the 7th of july

- i mean at first i looked up “USA day” (i couldn’t remember the name) and it popped up today’s date, and i was like no thats not it at all. dec?? its in like july i think. and i was close! it was july 4th.

- uther damn knows it's nimueh!!!

- i mean, he just overheard morgana and arthur talk about it, and initiated himself into a convo about it once morgana left, as his sneaky ass just slithered up like “hey man, u know that woman? yeah uhh, what she say? anything about me? no? k i know who it is tho”

- i thought he was going to apologize or like explain to arthur what's the sitch, but he just waits for five whole seconds before saying. “those who practice magic know only evil. they despise and seek to destroy goodness wherever they find it.”

- arthur, confused: sounds as if you know her

- uther, walking away: i do

- arthur:

- wow k lots of fucking quotes here cause it's the merthur reunion

- get ready babs

- arthur: still alive then?

- merlin: oh yes, just about… i understand i have you to thank for that

- arthur, leaning on the chair merlin is sitting in, stifling a smile: ah it's nothing, a half-decent servant is hard to come by. i was only dropping by to make sure you’re alright… i.... expect you to be back to work tomorrow

- merlin, watching arthur as he slightly walks away having embarrassed himself: arthur... thank you

- arthur, slowly: you too

- they stare for like 5 whole seconds

- arthur, uncomfortable: well… get some rest

- there we go folks: my eulogy.

- hope someone reads it at my funeral

Rabbit Hole

Here’s a story my Patreon supporters got to read a couple months ago! Why don’t you come join the Sleepytime Army? Get exclusive stories and vote on what I write next! https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimeslut

Zoe was slumped down in the back row of the classroom, scrolling through Tumblr on her phone instead of paying attention to the teacher. Like usual.

Oh, here’s a sexy picture to share. Here’s a gif to attach a few lines of dialogue to… She liked teasing the boys (and girls) online, and they liked teasing her. Especially when she was in class and couldn’t do anything about her rising horniness.

Oooh, a hypno story, her favorite. She checked that the teacher was droning on, and not looking her direction, and started reading. Just a couple paragraphs in, she knew it was a good one. She reblogged it to finish reading later, and to share it with her followers (her many, many followers … how had that happened?) and kept scrolling. Ooh! A spiral! Don’t get distracted … But uunnnfff, so easy to get distracted … to get drawn in …

She shook herself, sharing the spiral with a drooling smiley face, and moved on.

“I’m a little concerned, looking at your last batch of papers, that so many of you got to college without apparently learning how to punctuate a simple compound sentence, much less to fill it with original thoughts …” Miss Thompson was saying.

Zoe squeezed her thighs together, feeling the arousal spread through her body. She looked around. Nobody looking. Good. She knew she should be listening, should be taking notes, but all she could think about was her needy pussy.

The constant alerts from her phone kept drawing her back to the glowing rectangle in her hand. BUZZ. Another favorite blog had just shared something, Tumblr wanted her to know. BUZZ. Someone was tagging her in a pic of one of her favorite porn stars. BUZZ …

She was powerless. She had to look, every time the phone buzzed. Every time Tumblr fed her more. She didn’t used to be like this, did she? She used to have, like, an attention span and stuff? Could leave her phone alone for a few hours? Now she was addicted … like she had conditioned herself to salivate at the buzzer.

Or been conditioned, came a whisper.

Been brainwashed.

Cuntwashed.

Drippy cunt. Salivating pussy …

BUZZ.

Ooh! a hot little gif that someone wanted her to see – “wanna ride me like this?” he asked, adding Zoe’s handle. Where was the teacher? Zoe knew she should scan for Miss Thompson again, but she couldn’t tear her eyes away.

BUZZ BUZZ. Three more guys wanting to talk to her privately. She was already keeping four conversations going …

This one, for instance, was telling her, in detail, what he would be doing to her if they were in a hotel room together right now. She was giving as well as she was getting, egging him on, hoping he was stroking to her words they way she wished she could be rubbing to his. This one was begging her to punish him, and reveling in her attempts to be domineering. And this one … oh, this one kept sending spirals, and inductive texts, drawing her ever downward (or trying to), making her sleepy, making her horny … making her a mindnumbed cockslave …

She tapped the little pencil symbol to make a public post.

“You guys are making me so horny!!!” she typed.

I’m supposed to be paying attention to the teacher right now but my tumblr feed is full of porn and 3 of you fuckers are having hot conversations with me trying to make me horny and IT’S FUCKING WORKING I’m sure my neighbors can smell me I’m so turned on I can feel how drippy I am goddammit I need to stroke I’m not gonna make it

That was a mistake, of course. As she knew it would be. The sharks smelled blood in the water, and circled.

“Just keep watching little slave. Soon you’ll be my little cock hungry whore”

“It’s just so nice to be able to turn off your brain for a while, ya know? Join me?”

“And when I say “horny bunny” you’ll have a powerful urge …”

“Mmm damn what a view! Your nice tight pussy wrapped around my cock feels so damn good. I’m going to enjoy fucking you hard, bottoming out hitting your womb”

“…And then one day you wake up and you’re an empty headed pink bimbo, with no thoughts in your dumb bimbo head but getting bigger tits and pleasing your Mistress’s pussy…”

Another public post:

Ogod now ur all piling on cumming our of the woodwork why csnt i turn off this app why do i keep lookin im not gonna make it im such a dumb hotny cow

Sent.

And back to messaging, the words pummeling her brain –

Blank. Obedient. Responsive. Counting from 10. Letting your mind slide away. Relaxed. Empty. No thoughts. 8. Letting go….

Then, even before she could register the shadow over her desk, a hand snatched the phone from her fingers.

“You know the rules about phones in my class, Zoe,” said Miss Thompson. Zoe made a choked whimper, her fingers mindlessly twitching after the phone.

“You can get it back later. If you’re good.”

If you’re good. If you’re a good girl. Good girls obey.

Zoe whimpered again, as Miss Thompson walked away. She was going to have to sprint to the ladies’ room when class was over. The phone would have to wait. Her clit was throbbing … and she needed to obey.

*****

Later, after everyone had filed out, Miss Thompson carefully and (BUZZ) meticulously wiped clean the blackboard. She liked the board to be as neat (BUZZ) and tidy as her desk.

(BUZZ)

What on earth was – Oh. Right. That girl’s phone was still on the desk. Vibrating away, for some unknown reason.

She sat down and picked it up, turning it on. Silly child didn’t seem to have a lock on the –

A rainbow of porn leapt out of the screen and slapped Miss Thompson about the face.

Cocks going into young women’s mouths. A girl’s tongue on a pussy. “Zoe, are you still there?” Breasts, so many breasts. “Zoe, girl, look how hard you made me …” A maelstrom of dark and light flesh that she couldn’t make sense of for a moment, until she saw the caption “gangbanged fuckslut made airtight with BBC” … which, to be frank, didn’t ENTIRELY explain the picture to Miss Thompson, but it let her figure out what some of the shapes were …

Horrified, repulsed, Miss Thompson started scrolling. And couldn’t stop scrolling. Stories of incest and bondage. Lewd photos and gifs, scenes of decadence and degradation. She shook her head, her mouth open, but she couldn’t stop …

And the hypnosis. Over and over in the girl’s feed, the hypnosis! Glassy eyed girls with drooping mouths, baring their breasts … Women with spirals in their eyes, and cocks in their mouths … Flashing gifs with pictures and words, too fast to follow, telling her how she should be, how she must be, how she knew she already was, if she would just admit it to herself … Inductions, and fantasies, and more spirals, and submissive, drooling women, eager to serve cock, to serve pussy, to become slaves to their own needy cunts …

Miss Thompson hadn’t noticed how hard her nipples had gotten. She hadn’t noticed how wet her own cunt was, until she found herself dipping in a finger … She bucked against her hand, but didn’t stop stroking … just kept scrolling …

Someone calling himself Master of Mystery – except with some of the letters replaced by numbers – BUZZed into a private message. “Getting pretty horny, Zoe? Pretty needy and desperate?”

“No,” she found herself typing. “I mean, no, I’m – I’m not … No.”

“Oh, you certainly sounded pretty desperate to me. You sounded like a little slut who needed permission to cum … A naughty fucktoy who can’t stop touching her princess parts even though she’s not supposed to …”

Miss Thompson bit her lip and with an effort pulled her hand away from her pussy. “I’m not Zoe. I am Miss Thompson, her teacher,” she typed.

She tried to pull herself together.

“And you should keep a civil tongue in your head, young man.”

“Ohhh! Naughty, naughty, teacher … Are you looking through a confiscated phone? And getting TURNED ON by someone else’s Tumblr porn? You are, aren’t you … Go ahead, you can admit it …”

“i” she typed and sent by mistake.

She cursed.

“I will do no such thing. I am … I am putting the phone down now.”

“No you’re not.”

She hesitated. He seemed so sure. She waited, panting.

“You won’t, because you would have already without saying anything. You would have before you got so horny scrolling through her feed.”

She didn’t say anything.

“Because you are horny, aren’t you? All pent-up, tied up in knots …”

“Yes, yes, I am, OK, but there’s nothing wrong with that”

“No, not at all. Tell you what. You seem tense. Let me help you relax. Can we do that?”

“Um”

“Just focus on your shoulders for a second. Feel how tight they are? Tighten them up even more, just for a second. Take a deep breath in. And then let it out, and as you do, feel all the tension go out of your shoulders …”

“what”

“Sshh shh you don’t have to say anything just listen. I’m going to count, and with each number you’re going to release a little tension, and it’s going to turn into warmth … warmth spreading through your body …

“And then maybe we’ll look at a spiral together for a while … You’ll like that …”

*****

Zoe was feeling SO much better – though her legs were still a little wobbly – as she walked toward the classroom door. She couldn’t believe she’d left her phone behind! She hoped she could get it back quietly, without much fuss. There didn’t seem to be a class in there now. Maybe she could just slip in and grab it?

She eased the door open gently … and then almost dropped her backpack in surprise.

Miss Thompson was sprawled, nearly nude, in her wooden rolling chair! Her skirt was bunched around her middle, panties on the floor, white blouse and bra tangled on her desk. Most surprising of all, one hand was operating Zoe’s phone, and the other hand was operating Miss Thompson’s bushy cunt!

She stepped closer, sliding the backpack gently to the floor. The teacher’s breathing was ragged, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glassy … and sure enough, Zoe could see a spiral on the glowing screen. She tiptoed close enough to read over her shoulder.

You want to watch

To let the spiral suck you in

To let my spiral suck away all resistance

You want to become mindless for me, because it feels so good to stop thinking

Each word you read will bring you pleasure, and each second you spend watching will make you sink deeper and deeper, until you can’t help but obey …

She reached around her teacher’s body, and cupped both breasts at once.

Miss Thompson gasped, and then relaxed with a moan as Zoe began kneading her nipples.

“How are you doing, miss?” she whispered.

“Can’t … Can’t cum. Need to … but don’t … don’t have permission…”

“Mmmm.” Zoe tweaked her nipples, massaging her surprisingly full and warm tits. “I know it’s a lot to handle if you’re not used to it. I’ve been sliding into this rabbit hole a bit at a time for months, so I’ve built up a liiiittle bit of an immunity.” Partially true, anyway. “But my feed and my followers must have hit you like a ton of bricks.”

Zoe giggled to herself, as her teacher panted.

“Who are you talking to,” Zoe murmured.

“M-Master of Mystery,” Miss Thompson gasped, her back arching.

Ah yes, thought Zoe. Also known as Kevin.

“Tell him I’m here. And ask him what I should do to you.”

“Master …” Miss Thompson typed, and after a moment, responded.

“He says to get on your knees and lick my s-slutty, juicy c… cunt.”

Zoe smiled. “That’s what I was hoping he was going to say,” she murmured as she knelt.

After all, she thought. Good girls obey.

Chasing Cars - A Perfect Reality, pt. 2

pt. 1: https://iminyourhandskara.tumblr.com/post/174406736444/a-perfect-reality-karamel-drabble-word-count

_____________

It had been a month now since Kara and Mon-El visited Argo City, they had just defeated Reign and that Kryptonian priestess that had deceived them, after separating the worldkiller from Sam. Alura had decided to live in Argo City, since her people needed her, but promised that she would've found a way to visit her daughter on Earth from time to time.

Before they said goodbye, Mon-El asked Alura if she could show them the most beautiful parts of the city and she accepted with pleasure. There were a lot of museums and galleries, sacred altars, huge libraries and wide playgrounds. “We should definitely have a pic nic here!” Kara exclaimed happily.

“A pic nic?” “It means having lunch outside, sitting on the grass, having fun?” “That sounds like a great idea.” Alura agreed, Mon-El nodded, but his quietness was not normal for him.

He actually spoke only a few times, having a lot on his mind, actually, on his heart. He couldn't get his feelings for Kara out, every word just couldn't explain how much he loved her. Imra and Mon-El were actually done, they talked about it when she came back to help Supergirl and the DEO and she wasn't surprised at all. Mon-El was desperately in love, and he was already feeling Kara slip away from him.

They headed back home to take everything they needed to eat:

“Kara, if you go to the second room on the right, you should find a basket for the food and everything else we need. Mon-El, do you wanna help me in here?” “Of course, ma'am.” “Please, call me Alura.”

He nodded and walked in the room with her.

“Are you alright?” “Yes, why?” He had become good at answering this question with a lie in the past eight years. ”You've been pretty quiet the entire day. You don't seem like a quiet type.” “Ah, no.. I'm fine, it's all good.” “Is it about Kara?” He widened his eyes at her name's mention. “I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it..with you. I hope you can understand.” “You can tell me, I'm not gonna judge you or anything. Since it involves my daughter, I just would like to know if I should be worried or not.” “You shouldn’t worry, Kara is fine, Kara is great.” “But you're not.” Mon-El's gaze dropped to the floor, shaking his head. “We're in a complicated situation.” He took a shaky breath before continuing. “Over a year ago, actually, eight years for me, we fell in love. We were really..in love. Then, the Daxamites invaded Earth and the only way to stop them was to use a lead diffuser, so..we had to separate, Kara sent me away in a pod and I got into a black hole, a disruption, that took me in the 31st century. I spent seven years there, I created a Legion of Superheroes to honor your daughter, following what she taught me; then Earth and Titan needed to be united, so Titan could become our ally and..I got into an arranged marriage with this woman from Titan, Imra. Over time, I grew to love her and I got.. used to that new reality, thinking I would never see Kara again.” “But then you saw her again.” “And it had only been seven months for her..I put her through so much pain. There was nothing I could do. I didn't want to hurt Imra, I didn't want to hurt Kara..Kara doesn't know that it was a marriage for political reasons, and at first, Imra didn't know I was in love with Kara again, but it didn't take much to see it after a few months.” “It seems like you really need to unburden yourself, Kara deserves to know the truth and you deserve to be free from this weight.” “It's just so hard for me. What if it's pointless? What if I end up being more heartbroken than I was before?” “Well, you'll never know if you never try.” Alura patted his back, “For what it's worth, I saw the way she looks at you. I don't think she's over you, either. Talk to her, tonight.” Mon-El inhaled a deep breath, realizing it was now or never. “I will, thank you.”

The glimpse of hope Alura had given him cheered him up a little, so he gradually grew more talkative as the day went on, they had fun eating outside and admiring Argo City's beauty. When the afternoon arrived, Alura went home and left Kara and Mon-El alone; “I think I wanna buy some sort of souvenir from here.” “It's not gonna be our last time here, we'll visit anytime we want.” The fact that Kara referred to both of them made Mon-El feel excited. “Still, I had a great time here so far, I wanna cherish these days.” “Yeah..Me too.” Their eyes locked for a little too long, and they forgot about where they were and everyone else around them, until a voice called them from a distance.

“Mon-El! Kara!” It was Val, running towards them with a huge smile. “Val, hi! You're so much taller than the last time we saw each other!” “Oh my, you've grown up!” They got into a big group hug and both Kara and Mon-El felt butterflies being so close; they haven't really held each other ever since he returned to the 21st century and to be honest, they craved affection and that feeling of belonging that they only felt in each other's arms.

Val started talking of all the things he’s done ever since they last met, all the things he couldn’t do before being cured by Mon-El: Kara actually noticed his happiness and emotion in his teary eyes, and she felt so, so proud of the man standing in front of her. Ever since Mon-El and Imra had officially broken up, Kara had to be strong and try everything she could to not jump into his arms and kiss him, she didn’t know if he was actually suffering because of his ex wife: sadly, he had become way too good at bottling thing up inside, and she thought she had been a champion in that.

The three of them walked towards Val’s mother’s stand, Kara greeted her for the first time and she looked back at the daughter of Zor-El with awe and gratitude, she also hugged Mon-El warmly, constantly thanking him for what he had done for them, “Life has become so much easier for us since that afternoon.” She confessed tearfully. “We gave the device to another kid with the same illness, then he gave it to one of his cousins and..a chain began forming. You’ve started something beautiful, you’ve changed our lives forever, Mon-El, you’ve changed Argo City for the better.”

The superhero just bowed his head and said a quiet “Thank you.” For the first time, Kara vocalized that one thought she’s had ever since he had returned. “I am proud of you.” Mon-El knew that Kara was proud of him, but hearing her actually saying that caught him by surprise. Then, they exchanged those loving looks they only made for each other, “Guys, I have something for you.” The woman interrupted them, “Take these, I made these with Val specifically for you. Actually, Val made them, I helped him just a bit.” They giggled as she gave them a box, the note read “From Val and Zahyra, forever thankful.”

They both opened their gifts, revealing two silver bracelets, Kara’s one had a rocketship and a flower shaped charms, Mon-El’s had two stars and a hand charm. “Yours symbolizes coming back home, while yours symbolizes travelling and helping those in need.” “Thank you so much, I love it.” Kara kissed Val’s cheek and hugged Zahyra, then Mon-El did the same thing, “I’ll never take this off!” he added.

“I think we should go now, it’s getting late, we should head home.” “Yeah, thank you for your hospitality and these gifts, again.” Kara and Mon-El said goodbye to their friends and started walking, “Wait, are we actually heading home? I thought we could walk some more..” “It’s alright, it’s even better.” She agreed to his request. They went back to the same park they had been earlier to have lunch, it was completely deserted now; Kara lay down on the grass and Mon-El lay right next to her: they didn’t say anything, they looked at the stars, breathing slowly.

"You were so happy today, with Val. I've never seen you like this, you're really good with him." "Thank you. You're great with kids, too." Then silence, again.

“It’s funny, isn’t it? We’ve traveled light years away, different dimensions, met new people, changed our lives forever, just to be back to where everything changed to begin with: Krypton. With you.” "It's unbelievable how our paths crossed, you fell on Earth and changed my life completely. Then you had to leave..but you came back." "I did...Do you think our lives are cursed?" Mon-El broke the tension, they both chuckled, their eyes still on the constellations. "You have no idea of how many times I've asked myself that question. But after thinking about it for a while, no, I don't think so." "We've been pretty lucky, actually. Maybe 'blessed' is a more appropriate word, at least for me." "That's a strong word..why?" "I like to think that meeting you was a blessing. I'm not really into religion or something, but it is, whether it was Rao himself, fate or some other divinity."

For the first time, Mon-El wasn't looking at the sky anymore, but at the girl from Krypton next to him. Kara gulped, he finally said "Thank you for changing my life. For changing me." "I didn't believe in fate, but when it comes to us, it's hard not to." Kara smiled back at him, the weight of the truth was starting to hurt him. "We've never really talked about my seven years in the 31st century, because I didn't want to hurt you or.. anyone else." "You mean Imra?" The tension started appearing again in her voice.

"I followed your example, your lessons for all those years.." Mon-El managed to change topic, 'it is now or never', he thought again. "I know." "No, no. You don't know, Kara. I've had to sacrifice my happiness for the well-being of the universe, I've had to sacrifice my right to choose who I wanted to spend my life with for Earth's safety." Kara heard that his voice was getting choked up with tears, she began to worry and to realize that Mon-El had been through so much more than she could've imagined before. "Mon-El..what happened?" Her question came out as a soft whisper, like a caress.

"Kara.. I- I didn't fall in love with Imra, I didn't ask her to marry me, I didn't plan to marry her. We've had to get married to avoid a war between her planet and Earth, we had to form an alliance. Then.. a day became a week, a week became a month, a month became a year, and I started convincing myself that there was no way for me to be with you again. So, I picked the choice that made me feel less miserable..I stayed with Imra and I did care for her and love her, but in the end..we both knew that my heart belonged to someone else."

Kara was at a loss of words, she couldn't understand if she was imagining all of this, she didn't know how she was supposed to react, the only thing she knew was that her heartbeat started speeding up: Mon-El closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath, Kara took his hand in hers, her thumb softly stroking his skin, like a silent promise that everything was gonna be okay. The days of the sadness and helplessness were over. She didn't want to say anything, it wasn't necessary after all: Mon-El wasn't crying anymore, his hand was still tangled with her hand.

“I'm sorry I reacted this way,” he wiped away one tear on his cheek. “I didn't mean to.” “Are you kidding me? Never apologize for how you're feeling.” Now the tears were pinching her eyes, Kara had never seen him being this vulnerable, she was so used to his new stone cold appearance,she could've never told that he was in so much pain. So, what now? Did that mean they actually had a chance to be together? Did he have to go back to the future because the Legion needed him?

“Mon-El?” “Yeah?” “Do you have to go?” Hearing that question was like taking a knife right to the stomach. “I should.” “And..do you want to go?” “Do you want me to?” Both their voices were shaking. “No. Stay.. please.” They looked straight into each other's eyes, fear and sadness were mixed to love and desire, the tension between them had shifted; a soft smile appeared on his face, just one word escaped his lips: “Comets.”

Mon-El kissed her like he was dying to erase the space between the two of them, like his life depended on this one kiss, he didn't wanna spend another second without kissing her and adoring her and making her feel loved: Kara had missed the softness of his mouth on hers, she really thought that only a miracle could bring him back into her life; his beard was something new she already liked feeling on her skin. The kiss they shared was passionate but gentle like their very first one; it was like drinking a glass of water after wandering in the desert for years on the verge of death, it was like feeling alive for the first time after a long coma you couldn't wake up from, it was like the sun had come out from the clouds after years of darkness, that's how kissing him for the first time, for the second time felt like.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, completely enamored, their smiles couldn't be contained, “Hi.” Mon-El whispered. “Hi.” “I love you, I…love you.” It felt so good to say it out loud again, to say it without a broken heart. “I love you, too.” Kara's grin just grew wider, it was unbelievable how they had found each other again, but this time, they weren't going to let each other go: heroes deserved to breathe too, they deserved to be happy. Suddenly, it was like the Daxamite invasion had never happened, they were laughing and hugging under the stars, talking like one of those nights binge-watching TV shows on the couch; Kara hid her face in the crook of Mon-El's neck thinking that this was how peace felt like.

It was getting late and they didn't want Alura to worry, so they headed back to her place, they found her awake, reading a book on the couch. "Oh, finally here you are!" "Sorry, we just lost track of time.." Mon-El scratched his head, feeling his cheeks burning. "I see.." Alura smiled back at the two lovebirds, knowingly. "I'm going to sleep now, good night." "Good night, mom." "Good night." They felt like two teenagers who had been caught kissing. As soon as she left, Kara whispered: "Does she know something?" "Eh.." "Mon-El?" "She asked me what was wrong this morning and..I told her everything." Mon-El wasn't sure on how Kara was gonna react to that revelation. "Oh, wow." "She was the one who gave me enough courage to talk to you, I was scared out of my mind." "Well, thank Rao for my mom, then." Kara smiled sheepishly. "Yeah." He smirked kissing her lips.

"Come to my bedroom." "What? No, Kara, it would be too embarrassing if-" "Hey, relax, my mom knows already, so it's okay, right?" "Right." Kara was right, in fact, when Alura went to wake them up, she had found them holding each other in their sleep with the most angelic faces she had seen; she hated herself for having to interrupt their peace.

For a mother, seeing her daughter so happy after a long time was the greatest thing, Alura knew they had something special, it had been hard for them, but they managed to find each other again. “Kara? Mon-El? Wake up, you have to go home!”

_____ A year and a half later.. _____

Kara usually visited Argo City twice a month, but for her safety she hadn’t been able to travel from planet to planet for almost six months: her and Mon-El had been better than ever, he officially moved in with her about a month after they got back together, and got engaged exactly a year later: he was finally able to choose his own mate. After tests and more tests, Eliza and Alex gave Kara and Mon-El the green light to head back to Argo City; a baby on the way was something new for all of them and they wanted to be extremely careful, especially Mon-El and Alex, but on the other hand, Kara and Eliza always thought that there weren’t any risks for both the mother and the baby. “Ready to go?” “Bangarang!”

Mon-El started the engine and quickly, they were flying over the atmosphere. When they landed on their destination, Alura welcomed them home with a warm hug, she was so excited for her grandchild, plus, she hadn’t seen a pregnant woman in so long and she found that fascinating: the last time she had visited Earth was four months earlier and Kara’s baby bump was barely visible. After changing into more comfortable clothes, Kara remembered,“We have to visit Zahyra and Val, we haven’t seen them in so long!” “Yeah, I wonder how they’re doing..Plus, they’ll be really happy to see that neither of us have taken off our bracelets.” “Let’s go!” “Remember, you can’t run too much, take it slow.” “Yes, I know that.” Kara huffed, sometimes being pregnant was too much, she felt like she was a baby herself, it was already pretty depressing to stay at home and away from her superhero duties: she knew that Mon-El, J’onn and Alex had her back, though. “And also, we’re not on Earth, we don't have our powers, so you're more likely to get tired more quickly than the usual.” “Babe, I really appreciate you being super protective of me and the baby but please, don't be too paranoid, we've just arrived here.” “Okay, sorry. Oh, by the way Alex gave me a sort of mini yellow sun grenade in case you feel weak.” “Mon-El!” “Sorry!!” Luckily, nothing really changed on Argo City, the market was still the same, so it was easy for them to find Zahyra’s stand.

“Mon-El! Kara! Oh Rao, you're pregnant! Congratulations!” “Thank you so much!” “How do you feel?” “I feel great, but I wish that somebody wasn't so paranoid of every move I do. I don’t need a sitter!” Mon-El sighed, “Yeah, yeah, you're gonna miss all this attention when the baby is born.” He winked and kissed Kara's cheek, which made her laugh; “Where's Val?” he added, finally. “He's in school, he started a few months ago. To think I had given up on the idea of him attending a school and I was already struggling to find enough money to pay a private teacher to come at our home… He's having a great time there, he found many friends in a short time.” “That's great to hear, Zahyra.” The couple smiled contently, “He should finish in one hour, what do you think about surprising him?” The mother proposed. “What do you mean?” Kara had a puzzled look, the space between her eyebrows crinkled. “Do you wanna go pick him up from school? I'm sure he will be extremely happy to see you after a long time!” “That sounds like a great idea!” Mon-El exclaimed with excitement, he had missed his little friend. “I'd love to!”

Val’s face literally lit up as soon as he recognized his friends, he rushed to hug them: Val started talking about the things he had learned in class so far, he was particularly attracted by science, it was his favorite subject. Mon-El thought about the very first time he saw him, his heart filled with sadness as he watched him sitting down next to his oxygen machine. Suddenly he asked Kara: “What's in your stomach?” The big bump couldn't go unnoticed, especially when it came to a very curious kid. “There's a baby in here. Me and Mon-El are having a baby!” “Woaahhh..” “Do you think it's a boy or a girl?” Mon-El asked that question to almost everyone who met them; the child put his index on his chin, clearly concentrated on his reply: “A girl.” “We're on the same team then, Kara still thinks it's a boy.” “I can feel the baby move, do you wanna feel it?” Val nodded vehemently, so Kara took his hand and placed it on her stomach. “They really like you, the baby has never moved like this.” Mon-El stroked the bump as well; he had already felt the baby move and kick in multiple occasions, but every time it happened, it made him emotional like the very first time.

For one second, they both closed their eyes and their minds traveled back to a year and a half prior that day, when in the same spot with the same people, she was fantasizing about something she thought she could've never had, and his heart ached for the same reason. Luckily, fate was kind enough to grant their wishes: to be together, to be able to balance a superhero life and the one of a normal person, to get through the hardships hand in hand, to start a family, to live that utopia that once seemed so far away, but now was their perfect reality.

Do u have any headcanons for jack?? idk lov ur blog

im not very good at headcanons, i mean not when i think about them on my own, but.......... my main headcanon for him is that he’s secretly a bottom but keeps acting like a top.........and loves being the smaller spoon :\ also

- i like that one that after lilith smashed the vault symbol onto his face he gets some kind of trauma and freaks out whenever something suddenly moves close to his face 

- hes That Guy who always sends nudes& dick pics to his s/o without warning

- brags about being a god sex but actually.... not (there was this audio post i cant find rn where jack in some bl:tps dlc says “come ooon we gotta finish this thing, i feel like it’s always me doing all the wooork...” and nisha replies with “i’ve said that before” and hes like HUH and its obviously about sex so. yeah)

- in relationships, hes that type who always buys you expensive gifts when he wants to exclaim his feelings, he’s also that guy who would do something like “i didnt know what kind of flowers you like, so i bought you the entire flower shop”

- im torn between headcanoning him as being an extremely weak dude who cant run more than 10 meters without getting weary (since everyone does everything for him and he isnt that good in a fight), and as an actual Gym Freak who loves to exercise and has a sixpack :/

- when there’s nobody around he becomes very cuddly and fluffy with his s/o like... they’re in his office and he’s extremely tired and he’s yelling at some guy scolding him and threatening about something like, you know, Dangerous Intimidating Dude... and then the moment that guy leaves the office jack is suddenly like “babbbyyyy im tireed” snuggling under their arms........

- this may be controversional but actually a children lover, especially good with newborns/toddlers........

- he really. really. REALLY enjoys hurting people and this brings him comfort. he’s definetely not a perfect fit for a lover for everyone, because he enjoys really hardcore things in bed, not just some gentle spanking or choking, but Actual shit like..... you really gotta be into it. you cant even expect to have sex with handsome jack and then walk out with no bruises, cuts, bitemarks etc

i dont know tbh those are mostly sexual kjdhfjksdh......... im not good at inventing headcanons on my own, but feel free to message me and we can think of something together 8)))))))

Thoughts on 6A finale

My thoughts about the finale: # The train thing: Uhmm, okay. I mean, the idea itself is okay. Strange, but okay. What did the GR do before trains were invented? But well I can deal with strange ideas and I stopped to think about logic and plot hole in Teen Wolf, I learned to just enjoy the action and seeing all the characters in funny/strange/extraordinary situations. But still, I would have preferred if they met someone, maybe a banshee who told them this train thing. This solution with diverting the train came out of the blue and it felt rushed. # Mr Douglas: Well, it's always nice to see a nazi meeting a well-deserved end. To see him transformed into a GR was nice. But the fighting scenes and this awful german, commanding the GR around was awful. It reminded me of the finales of 3A and 4: Let's make a fighting duel between Scott and the villain who was supposed to be super-strong, being a super-dangerous alpha for DECADES but then losing it against a teenager who is an alpha since... two years? Come on! # Claudia: for me the worst, most unnecessary scenes of all. I liked how Stilinski exorcised Claudia by getting back his memories. That was a fine end for this theme! Why this awful choking out and Lydia/Stilinski scene? Just so Lydia can save Stiles? # Peter: I liked him in S6A. He was a bit shoved around, if someone gets a kick in the ass, then it was Peter. Burnt, taken by the GR twice, catatonic... I don't even ask why he was this way. But it was nice to see him again and his care for Malia is cute. Looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops. # Liam/Theo: I love their chemistry and I love that they bring back some humour and action into the show. I love this big brother (Theo) - little brother (Liam) kind of relationship. Episode 6.9 was really hard to watch - all this crying, recycling of old scenes, pseudo-symbolism - gah! Theo and Liam were a breath of fresh air in all this infinite "remember Stiles remember Stiles remember Stiles" (loop) stuff I had to go through the whole season. They were entertaining and for me, it brought back this sense of action and entertainment I was missing when I had to look into Lydia's big crying eyes whispering "remember" the whole season. And yes, I wanna see how the outsider Theo fits in in the future and I’m so looking forward to his storyline. # Stydia: I was fine with Stydia until I got to know the hardcore Stydia shippers and until MTV pushed it so much. This overwhelming amount and constant baiting with "Stydia rises" and baiting the audience with Stiles in general completely spoiled this relationship for me. This crush of Stiles on Lydia in the first seasons was cute and I loved it. But for me, Stydia died in S3 and when the characters developed further in S4 and S5 it stayed dead. Now it feels to me like a Zombie walking the show and they made it the main plot of a whole season. The fact that DOB won't even be much in 6B makes it kind of even more ridiculous to me. It's too late for Stydia, They should have done it in S3, I would have loved it then. MTV posting a pic of Lydia staring into the rift: "The moment all our hearts were broken." Nope. I really hope they bring back the tough, strong, independent Lydia now that Stiles is gone. # Chris and Melissa: I'm still not sure if I found this shootout scene with the GR ridiculous or funny. The ship itself is fine for me. Though it must be a bit strange for Scott, considering that Chris is Allison's dad... # Stiles leaving: To me, knowing that DOB's days in TW are over before watching the season, I didn't care much about the character anymore, to be honest. He was like a Ghost for me, a shadow of Teen Wolf's past like Jackson, Isaac, Derek, Danny. The reunion left me cold for some reason, maybe because I knew it's just this one scene and then Sciles is gone forever. Sciles was strongest in S1 and S2, after that it was kind of messy and after S3/4 I felt like it's broken anyway. After the second season that was all about Stiles Stiles Stiles and MTV milking every last drop of DOB's popularity can we please focus on Scott now? Thanks. For 6B I want some strong development for Scott, strong Lydia again, see where Malia and Peter are going and some entertaining, good old Teen Wolf feeling with humour and silly scenes - but this time, to have a wave of fresh air, with the pack 2.0. Yes, it's an unpopular opinion, but after six seasons of seeing Lydia crying, Scott losing and Stiles insulting people I'm looking forward to new, fresh faces around my new dream team Liam and Theo.
