Iridescence of the Heart
Irida x Fem! Reader
Tumblr media
Time makes the heart fonder, or so the Diamond Clan saying goes. Irida can’t help but let her mind wander to her lover when alone, but she can at least settle with pining from afar before she’s whisked away by her duties. 
Tumblr media
Irida has always found solace in the beautiful, sweeping landscape of Hisui. The dips and curves of hills, the delicate flow of cobalt rivers, the branching forests dappled with colorful leaves… She could never understand people who refused to stand and admire the glorious space because of the “biting cold”.
As a clan leader, Irida doesn’t get enough free time to just be herself. To just sit back against a hardy tree trunk and gaze over the sprawling fields, thanking Almighty Sinnoh for the space It provides. She would never relent to the Diamond Clan’s beliefs and perception of The Almighty, but she often wishes she had more time to herself. But Hisui is unforgiving, and so she settles for slinking off to be on her lonesome for moments at a time.
Being alone allows her mind to breathe, pondering thoughts other than clan business. Mainly, what she would do if she didn’t have leaderly duties to attend to, and it’s in these moments that she finds her mind wandering off to you. It’s only natural, the beauty of the land could only be rivaled by, well, you!
Yes, if she had more time, she would spend it with you. She loves the Pearl Clan with her whole heart and soul, but if she could put their business on the back-burner for a day or two, she would take it, just to be with her dearest love. 
Irida is always going to and fro, visiting the clan settlement, Jubilife Village, and the places where the Pearl Clan’s dear Nobles reside, and so she occasionally gets to see you. Sometimes she calls out, wanting nothing more than to speak with you and spend time with you and just revel in your presence. Other times, she says nothing at all, content with watching you go about your day. Like still water, she can’t find it in herself to disturb the majesty unfolding in front of her. Simply seeing you makes her heart drum, because she knows that you will only be close to her for so long before she inevitably has to move on. 
Sigh… just thinking about all the times she’s forced to walk away hampers her spirit. Sure, Irida will see you again, at some point, and maybe, just maybe, you would get to spend time with one another, but that doesn’t prevent the bitter sting of parting…
Sometimes she wishes that Palina did take over the Pearl Clan. Irida knows that she’s a competent leader and all, but Lina would likely have been a better leader in general, having bigger ideas planned out for the clan in the coming years. But Lina didn’t get appointed, dwelling on the decision now does little.
As much as Irida loves Lina for all she’s done, she can’t help but be jealous. Because she’s not the leader, she has time to herself (when not tending to the late Lord’s progeny), time that can be spent with Iscan… Surely, if Irida didn’t become the leader, she could have time like that. She could have spent so much time with you. Time just being young and dumb and in love. No responsibilities, no greater duties, no looming deadlines or events needing to be taken care of, just you and her… 
Glaceon nudges the limp hand at her side, sensing the melancholy tone that has fallen over her wielder. The movement forces Irida out of her head and back into reality. Glaceon rubs her head against Irida’s hand, trying to bring her spirit up by reminding her of the present. Reminding her that she shouldn’t be stuck on what could be when she could get lost in what she already has…
Of course, Irida yearns for what she can not have. Everyone wants more time to spend with the people they love and to do the things they love. Such is human nature. But her partner is right. At least, Irida thinks that’s what glaceon is trying to tell her…
She needs to think about you. Not what she could do with you given more time, but what she can do with you in the moment. The small interactions spared in between long journeys across the land, the hastily written love-letters you two send when apart for too long (and the one’s Irida was too embarrassed to send), the days she managed to untangle herself from Clan work to spend with you and only you…
Oh, those are her favorite days. The one’s where you would take her by the hand and run through Jubilife, looking through the shops and pastures and The Wallflower. The one’s where you would set off into the wild, going wherever the wind took you. The one’s where you looked for rare pokemon (shinies, she believes is what you had called them)... The one’s where her day’s schedule was just you, you, you!
…Maybe she could convince Lina to look after the clan for a little bit, for just about a day. Or even two. Maybe three? Yes, three days would be perfect, just to take a little break with her lover. She would certainly understand, given her own relationship. She would take a few days off to spend with Iscan given the opportunity, so surely she wouldn’t mind helping Irida out, not when it was for the sake of love.
Yes, for love. Time for her and her beloved, her darling, her most beloved treasure. Time where she could sweep you off your feet and into her strong arms. She could bring you anything you wanted… She could give you anything you wanted… Hell, she could carry you as much as you wanted (at least, until she starts overheating). Your arms wrapped around her neck to steady yourself while your body is cradled in her own are reward enough.
Just three days to strengthen her most important relationship without the worry about the Pearl Clan or Team Galaxy, with the only disruption being the needy complaints of her partner (who was once again attempting to drag her away from her thoughts).
But before she could run the idea past Lina, she had to brush up on the Pearl Clan’s traditional proposal customs.

Ryne and Gaia are like. Such good parallels and foils to each other it makes me just a little insane.
Like Ryne is sweet and caring and she always wants to help others and make them feel better even to the detriment of herself because she has seen and known suffering and doesn't want others to have to live like that too. If she can make someones life better, even if just a little bit, then she will. But she also puts everyone elses well-being and feelings so far above her own that she often ends up trying to help in a way that doesn't actually solve anything because it still ends up with someone hurt (such as trying to properly fuse with Minfilia knowing it might end up with herself disappearing). She's not a doormat, but she does have some people-pleasing tendencies.
Gaia, however, is the exact opposite. She's prickly and sarcastic and thinks of herself and her needs first and foremost, everyone else is secondary. It's not that she's cold or uncaring, she doesn't ignore people's problems, she just doesn't see them as her business most of the time (A product of being raised in Eulemore most likely). She doesn't consider the long-term outcome of what she does or says, she lives solely in the present and the future is a problem for when it happens.
These opposite traits also play into each other. Ryne inspires Gaia to care more about others and Gaia inspires Ryne to prioritize herself more. Gaia makes Ryne live more on the moment without thinking solely of what the future will bring, and Ryne makes Gaia think more on what her life will be going forward and to actually consider what she does and says and how that affects things. They feed into each others good traits (Ryne's caring nature and Gaia's sense of self) while also helping them deal with the bad traits (Ryne's people-pleasing and Gaia's aloofness).
Their pasts are good paralells too. Ryne was isolated and lonely until Thancred took her away but even then, he was distant and emotionally neglectful, so she ended up lonely in an entirely different way. Gaia had a family and caretakers that she wasn't particularly close to, but after the 'Fairy' started talking to her they got even further away until she couldn't even remember them, and the 'Fairy' was the closest thing she had to a friend even though it was what isolated her to begin with. Ryne had constant companionship but no support, and Gaia had 'support' but no companionship.
Even just. Regarding the whole identities thing they are just. Perfect. Ryne has lived with Minfilia's shadow on her shoulder her entire life and never got to learn who she actually is. She thought that she had to become Minfilia for her life to be worth anything, that it's the only way her existance is justified. The person closest to both her and Minfilia(Thancred) indicated(in her mind at least) that he wanted Minfilia to be here in Ryne's stead(which wasn't really the case but she didn't know that). The only way to get her out of that shadow was to remove her from the identity of Minfilia, hence why her new name is so important(as well as the hair and eyes being her natural colors instead of Minfilia's all too recognizable ones).
But Gaia didn't even know about Mitron or Loghrif until Eden. She had the 'Fairy', but to her it was just some voice in her head which was nice enough to her. To her, Loghrif is just some lady Mitron loved, she has no real connection to her. She has a connection to Mitron, both as the 'Fairy' and as remnant feelings from Loghrif, but none to Loghrif herself(aside from the obvious reincarnation stuff). Gaia has always been her name. It may have been Loghrif's originally, but she is so far removed from that identity that even for all of Mitron's effort to 'return' her to Loghrif, it'd never work. Loghrif is Gaia, but Gaia is not Loghrif. Simple as that.
Eden's story works so well because Ryne and Gaia are opposites in that specific way that compliments each other, rather than pits them against each other.

not to be a woman womaning all over the place but i feel like if you genuinely like. do not have friends that are women then you have something to work on. if you cant think of any female characters that you treat the same way you do male characters then you have something to work on. if you cant handle even seeing "i dont like being called a guy/bro/lad/etc because it doesnt feel gender neutral to me" but can understand when one of your masc besties is uncomfortable with being called girlie or sister then you have something to work on. if your default in regards to how you handle other people and even characters is to assume masculinity then you have something to work on. if you cant even let women and otherwise feminine people speak about our experiences without bringing up how you suffer too then you have something to work on.
it doesnt matter if youre queer or a poc or a minority in whatever which way, if you do not include women in your life and cant even stand a fucking inch of genuine feminism (and i dont mean terfs but god is it fucking agonizing that thats all you people can think of when you hear feminism anymore) where the point is to treat women, all women, equally then you have something to work on. listen to women, even the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours (hell ESPECIALLY the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours). just like how we all have to check ourselves for racism, ableism, queerphobia, we all have to check ourselves for misogyny too. stop acting like it got solved at some point. it still exists and it exists within you and you have to actually fucking work on that. "women should be included in your life and you should listen to them" shouldnt be a hard goddamn pill to swallow.

Eleanor is the ultimate controversial white woman character.
She has a sex scene with a beautiful prostitute in first episode. They almost run away together. She tries so so so hard at making it in a man's world and meets resistance at every turn.
She thinks she's quite revolutionary, she thinks she's saving Nassau, she thinks she's showing all those fucking men that a woman can do it, she thinks she's so counter-culture by trusting a slave as her mentor, she thinks she's doing it for love of a place and love of people.
But. She's doing it for daddy issues, to be the business-owning son her father never had. She's doing it to please her own ego. She's doing it whole throwing friends and former lovers under the bus. She's doing all this WHILE OWNING SLAVES. She eventually tries to fold into the nice wife shape and it creaks and aches at her. She is an ally to other marginalized groups until it forces her to be truly uncomfortable or give ground.
People hate her because she's a gaslight gatekeep girlboss (and they're right). They love her because she feels so real, because she can never see and define her own shape, not really (and they're also right).
She's caught in a cage of white patriarchal making, and she sees it and she doesn't

i have such a morbid fascination with those weird reddit dudes who rate their attraction to a woman by working out the ratios and proportions of her features. i want to know if it has ever occurred to them that this is not how other people experience attraction

Here’s the thing I need people to understand:
Even if we believe that the (entirely unproven and far too politically convenient) pre-contract story between Edward IV and Eleanor Talbot was true, it doesn’t actually matter. Even if it was hypothetically true, there was still no reason why Edward V – who was already King at that point and was referred to as such – couldn’t have been able to succeed his father regardless.
David Horspool (Richard's own historian) summarizes it better than I could, so I’m just quoting him here:
"[Richard also made] no allowance for any potential solution to the problem that might have re-legitimized Edward V and his siblings. These included securing a retrospective canonical or papal judgement of the invalidity of the pre-contract; an Act of Parliament legitimizing the children of Edward and Elizabeth Woodville’s marriage, as happened to Henry VIII’s variously tainted offspring; or even ignoring the issue and proceeding to the coronation of Edward V, which would legitimize him by making him the Lord’s anointed, and render allegations of his bastardy as newer versions of the old tittle-tattle about his father."
In short, even if Edward IV truly had a pre-contract with Eleanor Talbot, and even if all of his children with Elizabeth Woodville were supposedly illegitimate, it should by no means prevent Edward V from succeeding his father to the throne. If Richard truly wanted to support his nephew, he had a variety of useful and entirely workeable options to choose from. Instead, he officially declared his nieces and nephews (including a literal 3-year-old) illegitimate, kept Edward V and his even younger brother confined in the Tower of London, and declared himself King.
Why didn't Richard take these actions, all of which he would have been well aware of? As Horspool says simply: "that Richard took none of these courses was because he had no interest in doing so."
The ONLY conclusion we can come to based on Richard's actions is summarized most succinctly by A.J Pollard:
"The truth of the matter is that Richard III did not want Edward V to be legitimate because he did not want him to be king."

Thinking about that one minigame from Green Lake where you nyoom around the place with Tooth Fairy. Thinking about it happening in a literal way is cracking me up.
Local dentist is sliding around on the ground, phasing through the fences and sucker-punching carbuncles and critters while looking for teeth. Dentist is also reminiscing how she got those teeth to a gaggle of college-age people and two teenagers (one of the teeth is from accidentally hitting someone with her car, another is from intentionally punching someone so hard they lose that tooth).

Yknow. I do forsee a potential plot point for Netflix-levania to somehow have Dracula as a villain back, even with the end of the previous series. Obligation. He's no longer the weary widower, and with Lisa's return there's closure. He's lived as a man. He understands man. He may not even hate man. Maybe.
And yet he's back because the other Vampires are fucking it up and now daddy's home to bring back order. He's no longer gunning for genocide, but honestly, the politicking of the vampires who are so far up their own asses, they need to be reminded who's really in charge. His death left a power vacuum, a particularly annoying vacuum. Maybe the little things of humanity irk him, but vampires are everything they have but turned up to 11.
So at the end it's a formality. He'll come back, clean things up among vampire society, make enough of a mess to get a Belmont to kill him, then turn in for another 100 years.
Does this make him too noble? Probably. If you want the grandiose "What is a man" Dracula, you can extrapolate from "It's an obligation" and have him actively resent people pulling him out of the afterlife from Lisa so fucking much, that he leans too hard into the role. The part of him who's evil out of obligation and the part who's evil out of resentment begin to blur the lines. Is he the lord of darkness because that's the role he's been cast and is simply going through the motions or his he just so simply done with the whole process that he refuses to give up an inch of power to any other Vampire (or human) because they're all just children in his eyes?
It could still ultimately culminate in a Soma Cruz plot line where after 1999 he quits so hard that he refuses to even return to the role properly but it doesn't matter because his mere presence fills the vacuum, even when he does nothing (not for the lack of trying from others).
Maybe that's a bit petulant in its own right. YMMV, but I think that's the point. For being such an archetypal lord of all evil villains, how he fills it is shockingly dynamic. He's evil for evils sake, a beacon of arrogance, or a truly tragic villain. Depends on what's needed. If he does come back, I do want to really see a "Castlevania does Bram Stoker's Dracula. Genuinely. It's just an adaptation for the original novel because that's Canon to the original Castlevania timeline, and it'd be funny to properly reveal that Quincy Morris is a Belmont (And his son fights WW1 vampires and grandson WW2)."
