If That's How We Reunite, So Be It

Ragnvider! adopted! reader going to Mondstadt after a decade with their new family, Only to be reminded of the things they went through by their old one.

Part 2 for Dark and Cold.

_________________________________________

"So sweetie, We have one day off for now. Is there anything you wanna do? Or do you just wanna stay in and play with the new recruits? Hmm?" Childe asked. Although he never had a shimmer in his eyes. You could tell he was gentle to people he cared for. You could tell his words hold honesty and love.

"I do want to show you around places i loved as a kid. But you know, only if you like to, brother Ajax." You said shy and not being able to look him in the eye. You wanted to show him sides the he had shown to you. He would tell you about his family. Take you to his family. Take you to places that were special to him because you were his own. And now, you would tell him just that. That he was your brother. That without him, you would've passed that night.

"Well, Yes! i definitely would love to! This is the first time we're here and it would be amazing for you to show me around. Do you want the others to come?" He asked smiling and already out of the couch to get ready. Although you'd love to show your friends in the Fatui your old hometown. You'd show it to them another time. Not right now.

"Just you. I'll take them later. Anyways, the first place i want to take you to is windrise. Follow me!" Maybe the inner child in you always wanted someone to go there with. That place had one large Tree infront of the Anemo Archon's statue. It was the perfect place to climb up and just sing your heart out.

"Alright, Alright. Hey now! Don't trip over nothing. I don't want to carry you around all day yeah?" He said following you. Walking from your inn. You guys made your way to windrise. While you were going on about how the tree is so big and beautiful. Childe would look over you with a gentle smile. Sure you might be twenty five now. He still sees you as the fifteen year old he took in that day.

While you guys were walking there, Three people made sure you couldn't see them following you. Aether was worried that the Harbinger and his supposed subordinates were going out to make trouble. While Diluc and Kaeya were making sure that you weren't in danger. Sure they can't look after you when you're outside Mondstadt, They could least keep their mind at ease for now.

Aether was confused as to why Diluc was joining them. Kaeya, he could understand. Kaeya was a captain so it made sense that he would be there to maintain peace in the city. Diluc was a night owl. He would protect the city at night. But somehow, he left his office for today. Brushing it off, they were sneaky enough to be without ear shot distance but not be seen.

"So, This is the tree i was talking about! Isn't it Huge? Seems like it's grown a bunch since last time. Come on! let's climb it." You started to make your way on top of a branch which would support both you and childe. Childe just followed you and sat next to you.

"I'd come here whenever, my gaurdian would go to work with his kids. They were older than me so they had things to do. While, I'd sit here and look over the lake. It still looks beautiful. Doesn't it, Ajax?" A small smile on your face. It certainly was the same tree you were on. The memories came back to you. What started as a hum turned into fully fledged singing. While you were swinging your legs dangling from the branch.

Childe felt inner peace. Maybe coming to Mondstadt with you wasn't such a bad idea after all. Aether stared at you wide eyed. He wasn't that submerged into someone doing anything. Not less a Fatui memeber! Should he be admitting to find you ethereal? No but he can't lie to himself.

While the Ragnvider brother's felt somewhat relieved. That you still didn't stop singing. The same song they taught you to sing when you left lonely, Or when you were happy! They couldn't tell which one you were right now. But considering the way you smiled to Childe and his subordinates, It was clear that were happy.

"You've been hiding such a voice for me? I've been hurt. Just wait until everyone hears about this!" He joked to you. Ruffling your hair. Laughs echoed through the place. Getting down from the tree carefully, You decided to make your way to thousand winds temple. It was still in ruins, The same ruin gaurd lurking and taking rounds mindlessly.

"I'd come here to fight it sometimes! Because i didn't have a vision, I would just use sword. It wouldn't work as well and the tavern owner would come save me. But now since you taught me how to use a bow. I think i can take it on my own. So keep your eyes on me brother! After this, We'll sit on that point there. We can see the tree in windrise from here." You said almost eager to show him how hard you'd practice with your bow and make sure to make it a point to get better and make him proud. Before Childe could say anything to object you from fighting, He didn't have the heart to say no to you. He just let you be for now.

Aiming your bow at the core of the ruin gaurd, you infused it with your electro element and shot it accurately. Just like how you'd be taught. When it was down, you got close to finish the job with sword. After dusting your legs and hands, You made your way to him. Who was waiting to tell you that you did good.

"Is This what you've been doing in the ruin labs? You've gotten better i must say! Just don't get yourself in dangerous situation yeah?" He chimed. Looking out for you.

The three people who'd been following you had their weapons out. Just in case something went wrong. Diluc smiled to himself. You've grown to be able to protect yourself. Something he wanted to do. But he left you to do it on your own. Kaeya was kind of proud that you didn't let go of the sword skills he had taught you way back when you were younger. Chuckling to himself when you'd complain about it being hard when right now you were doing it without breaking a sweat.

Aether was entranced, once again. He couldn't help but admire you. You might be on the other side of his journey but he wouldn't mind taking a breather with you as his stop. Paimon made note to keep his love sick gaze for you in her mind.

"You know, I thought i was going to die that day. Thank you for taking me in. I was abandoned by my mother in front of a church. A kind man took me in. Only to be killed later, And then I met you! I wouldn't wanna go through it again but i think having my family now makes me think maybe it was worth living for. Of course you don't have to consider me as one! Just.. Thank you so much. It might not have been the best to fight and go out killing people but if i get to protect you from harm's way and your family then i think it's good enough for me, Brother Ajax." You were starting to tear up. Childe brought his hand to wipe away the tears. He pulled you in for a warm hug.

"I don't think I've ever made a better decision. And don't talk nonsense. You are and will always be my family. Even though you're stubborn. A little hostile to people. Please get along with other Fatui Harbingers. They're not bad you know? But Regardless of all that. I'm proud of you and how long you've come. Again, you don't have to come with me. Just stay with our family back home. I'll come visit you guys." The chilly windy was carrying sentiments of years which bottled inside of everyone there.

"I would always want to know you're safe. So i think I'll always join you. Even when you wouldn't want me." After a heartfelt talk between you guys. You were making your way to the city, when you noticed blonde hair in the side of your vision. Telling Childe to wait until you went and picked some flowers was an excuse to check this out.

The Ragnvider brother's made their way to childe. Not to threaten him. But to talk and find a way to perhaps connect with you.

"Look, We just want to talk about them. I know it seems like a laughable attempt to repair something that's been shattered. We just can't help it. Just once, Can we talk to them? With you or without you. Anything works." Kaeya was trying to come to an agreement while Diluc was nervously glancing around making sure you don't see them talking.

"And Why would i do that? Do you take me for a fool? I think it'd be best if you let it go. I don't want to comfort them again regarding you guys. It's heartbreaking for me." Childe hissed. Yes, he didn't want them near you. But some part of his heart wanted you to heal with them. If this had been with sibling or you. He would reach out too. He understood that. Pondering on it for a while.

"Don't come near them. I'll give you one last thing. Here. Take these. I found these on them the day i found them. I doubt they remember anything but here. Now i suggest that you take your leave before sweetie comes. And like i said. I will always make sure they're happy." Childe handed over a pair of earrings to kaeya and a wooden bracelet to Diluc. They had the initials "K.R" and "D.R" on them. Their heart swelled up and broke down. So this is what you were excited about. This is what you wanted to give them but never could.

They left. They couldn't face you again. Not when you had left such a previous thing to process. While Aether was confronted by you.

"Why were you following us?" You asked glaring at him. He merely gave you a sheepish smile and explained that he was just going around seeing Mondstadt.

Considering how his clothes weren't of Mondstadt origin. You believed him. He was a traveller from a far. So maybe it wouldn't be too bad to show him around later too. Just some genric places while you stayed here.

"I see. Well, I'll certainly see you around. Maybe show you a place or two. But don't get on my brother's bad side!" Right when you said that childe creeped up behind you. Aether's eyes were begging Childe to pretend they don't know each other.

"Well what do we have here hm? Aether and Y/n huh? What're you doing? It's getting late. Let's go back and have dinner." He said. You were confused as to how he knew him but that would be another conversation. Since your brother already knew of him. Maybe he wasn't a bad guy you thought.

"Okay. We'll take out leave.. Aether." With that the both of you left to your inn. Aether felt like he could certainly catch you up on that offer for a tour around.

Meanwhile the brothers were content. Not to their heart feelings but at least enough. They couldn't meet you outright. But at least they got one step closer. If this is how you reunite, step by step. Then so be it.

pumpkin's back to school week! - undercover little'! <3

heading back to school can be scary after being away for a long while, so, baby pumpkin is here to help out with some tips & positive messages <3.

today's focus is: undercover little ⭐.

here are some ways to still enjoy that little routine & lifestyle- just undercover when at school- like a little agent, teheh <3.

-> decorating your items ⭐

as mentioned on my previous post (click here to check it out), decorating items is an adorable way to make them more personalised to you!

if you want to incoporate your little side- let them decorate your things with stickers and badges. you could also turn your little doodles into stickers & blame 'younger family memebers you ran into during summer vacation' as an excuse <3.

-> styling yourself ⭐

obviously little clothing won't be deamed appropiate for school (please someone make adorablely hidden meaning little clohthes). so why not twist your style slightly to allow your little side to still present themselves in your every day life.

bright, baggy kawaii clothes are a good shout as 1) they can be adorable and bright 2) it's not second guessed as it's a common theme of clothing! win win, teheh!

-> making hidden meaning jewellery ⭐

something me & daddy love doing is making hidden things that only me & him understand. so why don't you make some hidden meaning jewellery that could both honour your little side & keep it underwraps too. it could be a pet name you get called, your plushie's name, your favourite cartoon- anything!

-> plushies, plushies, plushies!

if you are like me, you're also a plushie addict & need to have at least some sort of plushie with you at all time. keyholder plushies are a godsent- because near enough everyone has one so it won't look weird having one. having a small crochet plushie can be adorable too to have, and a great conversenation starter if it's of your favourite animal <3

-> have a 'doodle' journal.

sometimes involuntary regression can't be helped- we get triggered by certain things and our little side just ends up taking control without our consent. which is why a 'doodle journal' can be an amazing thing to have if you end up regressing in school. you can just doodle away for a little while- until you manage to get control again & you won't get weird looks from anyone as it's just an average doodle journal <3

i hoped these helped little ones! <3

i'll be back tomorrow for some more back to school tips & tricks! <3

[sorcerous-caress]

Do you have any more Cazador brainrot to share? I'm so glad someone else is deranged about the stinky rat man <3

I was so sad that we never got to have a talk with him one on one. I replayed his confrontation scene so many times and even tried leaving Astarion far away so Cazador would be forced to talk to my character but nothing new or interesting came up.

I read that datamined storyline about him is that he was supposed to be a powerful ally to us at some point, we would have to work together with him in the upper city to take down some butcher guy. And as much as I treasure Astarion and want the best for him, I still would've taken Cazador partnership proposal because he is such a fascinating character.

I genuinely want to study him if I could, he is so compelling.

The only reason he succeeded the most above all of his predecessors, is that he genuinely took the rules his Master set to heart. He still disobeyed him but he understood that his punishments weren't for disobeying him but for failing to escape or overthrow him when he did.

His punishments were for his failure to overthrow his master.

He even overthrew his Master on his own, while Astarion needed us to do it for him. He was just as tortured and broken and yet managed to do it all by himself.

And something tells me he wanted Astarion to overthrow him, that he was almost grooming him for that role. Cazador never let anyone come close to being his equal in all of his years of living. Maybe he was just sick of life but wanted to go out in a flame, either Astarion takes his chance and overthrows him, or Cazador ascends and life might have new meaning then.

God, I would've killed for the opportunity to talk to a fully ascended Cazador. I want to see what changes about him then. Like he is already the worst person possible, how can they make him worse?

That guy didn't miss a single small detail if you focus on his story, he never slips and never leaves a chance for failure. He either killed all of the remaining Szarr family memebers or turned them into vampires so he'd remain the head.

Yes not spawns, full Vampires.

He could've replaced Astarion, but for some reason, he didn't, which I'm not sure what to make of? His Master told him not to rush things when you're a near immortal so maybe that's why.

He is also old, like very, very old. He has been a vampire lord for 216 years. This isn't counting his almost 60 years as a vampire spawn for his previous master or his own lifespan before he was turned since he is an elf.

His old master was a strick army general.

He is the patriarch of the Szarr family. A fire took most of the other memebers' lives long ago, but he survived it.

To the public it wouldn't be suspicious at all since he is an elf, even if his lifespan crosses a thousand years then some people would chalk it up to elf magic or something.

So now, having established all of that let's get into the brainrot <3.

I really like the idea of a detective reader being after his tail. You don't suspect he is a vampire, but you definitely think something is amiss. Or maybe you do suspect it and are trying to prove it to the public.

You're from an important family too so he can't just kill you, he tries sending his spawns after you to hopefully charm you or something but all of them fail. He is deeply frustrated.

Then, one day, while hosting a noble party at his manor, your family is attending, and Cazador can just see you snooping around and trying to follow his servants.

He is just so done. He follows after you silently and waits until the two of you are alone before immediately slamming you against the wall.

He really didn't want it to come to this, your family won't get off his back if you went missing. So he'll just settle for scaring you into never coming back again.

To his surprise, he doesn't see any fear in your eyes as his threats come pouring down. His usual charming noble facade melting away as he demeans and degrades you.

No no...it's attraction he sees.

You just made his job much easier for him, didn't you? He probably doesn't even have to turn you to get you to obey.

Still...compared to his long life you're young, smell very sweet even and he has been just dying of thirst since this party started.

He imagines turning you, imagines your family's reaction when their lawful dedicated child abandons them to come to live with him instead. Publicly shifting the noble powerscale as you reduce your grand title to nothing more than being a pet on his lap to flaunt in parties.

But somehow, he feels you'd be even more dangerous as an immortal. A vampire spawn is still more powerful than a mere mortal.

Maybe he will have to do this the old way, convince you and charm you himself since his useless good for nothing spawns failed at their only purpose in life.

Military Training

Taehoon's father skipped this one. By trying to assassinate someone from North Korea. And just like his father Hansu. Taehoon was made a way to skip the Military Training.

It was your turn to have a military training.

"Would you like me to help you skip this one Y/N?" Hansu asks you.

"No, I want to do this." You tell him. Weirdly enough all students who were approaching age would be nervous even scared to get this notice about joining the military service.

"That's odd most children would definitely say yes." Hansu says.

"Weird thing is. I can't skip it. My family has been in the military for decades and became well known soldiers. So every family memeber is required to train to produce more soldiers or even Generals."

"Oh is that so." He said.

"Yes, You don't have to worry about me. I've been trained before I would even Join the Military." You told Hansu.

"Ya trained before?" Taehoon asked.

"Yes, I did. I was trained by my Dad, my Mom and my Different Relatives who's in the Military." You told him as you were sipping a glass of water.

"How come ya don't fight often?" Taehoon asks.

"Well the more I fight, the more people would know me at the streets I can't cause a ruckus for myself. It'll make me a target at the service." You say.

After talking with Taehoon and his Father you went home.

It was a few days before oyur military service. And you said goodbye to the Hobin Company and to Taehoon.

"Why are ya saying goodbye?" He says

"I'm going for the service and we won't meet each other?" You told him.

Taehoon was carrying a bag. "I'm coming with you dipshit." He said as he took yours and carried it.

"But your dad went all the way to get you to skip this?" You tell him.

"He doesn't give two shits."

Taehoon in the Military. This man would be a major target.

- He has great appearance.

- Cocky attitude.

- He doesn't like to follow orders.

The one who's Teaching Taehoon would be angry at him. Most definitely.

His room mates would try and bully him but unfortunately Taehoon won.

He became the boss of his Area. And no one messed with him.

But they would try and set him up. Thankfully Taehoon's Father Hansu had a friend who was a soldier. With experience of training in the military.

He was lectured on how to survive the service before even entering.

Taehoon would make ways for you both to see each other. Even if it costs huge punishments.

Even though Taehoon's Instructor loathes him. Taehoon is the best one in the field when it comes to physical combat.

He stubbornly doesn't want to learn other martial arts. He said he'll use Taekwondo which he got mocked for.

But he humbled them.

When it was time that the service ended. The Instructor and his room mates. Were very happy never to see him again.

"That man is the devil" One says.

"I'm gonna get him back" Another says. They try. But Taehoon still wins in the end.

Febuwhump 2024, Day 13- continuation of Day 10: Time & Malon (Some of the Chain)

Fandom: LOZ/Linked Univere

Summary: Time is forced to watch a memeber of his family go through the process of what Twilight went through with the Shadow, with Dark. This time though, it kills... but not who you may think.

CW: blood, injury, miscarrage (for the love of god read this warning!)

Notes: I did not proof read this afterwards... and don't come to me with hateful comments when there is literally a warning right here. If you don't like, don't read.

“No.”

Time’s hands shook as he grabbed a towel that was hanging behind him. He pressed it against her wound and apologized for the pain of it as she clutched at his shoulder and chest, holding in the pain as much as she could. Rushed footsteps coming up the stairs alerted him to his company.

“Time?” Warriors was the first one to make it to the bathroom door. The Captain was wide eyed at him, in just as much disbelief as himself. “Hyrule, we need you!”

Shaking his head no, Time forced his words to work. “It’s the same wound as Twilight’s. Open my bedroom door, hurry.” He scooped Malon into his arms in a bridal carry, keeping her head on his chest. He made sure to be careful of the door frames and walls as he made it down the hall to their room.

Warriors had already pulled back all the blankets and quilts and stood out of the way for him to get to Malon’s side of the bed where she was gently placed. She was already sweating, eyes growing distant by the second. She groaned as she was moved a little closer to the center of the bed, making Time’s heart ache more than it was.

“What do you need from us?” A voice from the door asked. It was Twilight, wringing his hands in front of himself, brows furrowed in distress for his family. All the others were tucked in the hallway behind him.

Time sent a pleading look to Warriors, his big brother, when his voice wouldn’t come out. Warriors nodded, then addressed the others. “Perimeter check first, clear the house. It is still early enough in the day that I’m sure there are some chores that haven’t been attended to. Wild, that potion you made before, see if you can remake it. After that, we just need to keep it quiet and safe. Have an ear open if they need anything.”

Majority of them left without a question. Wild grabbed Twi’s arm to pull him away and he followed.

When Warriors went to leave Time and Hyrule to help Malon, Time stopped him. “Link- please stay.” It was rare for him to call Warriors by their shared name, but it got his point across. He needed his brother with him.

“Time?” Hyrule said as he approached. “I need to be able to access the wound, but still keep her modest.”

The three of them worked quickly, Warriors helping to get Malon’s boots and socks off, Hyrule went and gathered bandages, water and a few sugar cubes while Time got his wife’s belt, waist wrap and shawl off. He pulled her shirt from her skirt, tucking it under her under the wire of her bra to keep it out of the way until he could get her into a nightgown.

Her skirt was high on her hips and too thick to keep her in. No doubt she would soon have a fever and would burn up with the layers. Getting her down to her knee length drawers and covering her up until Hyrule was ready, Time finally took in the sight of Malon’s open wound and nearly choked.

Black webbed lines laid across her left ribs, blood caked on her skin and still flowed lazily onto the bed sheets. His eyes caught something else though and it wasn’t the wound.

He pulled the covers back down some to see better, then laid his hand on her lower stomach. She was swollen with- dear goddesses above- she was carrying their child. She had their own little pup growing inside her, already big enough that she had a good sized baby bump.

Emotions swirled through his tormented mind. She was pregnant. They were going to be parents. The wound though, would it- could it- No, Malon was strong and surely their child too. But Twilight is also strong and they almost had to bury him.

“She didn’t tell you.” It sounded more like a realization for Warriors than a question.

“No and knowing her, she probably wanted it as a surprise.”

Hyrule timidly took a seat on the opposite side of the bed. “May I?” He had his hand hovering a good foot over where Time’s was. With permission granted, he laid his hand over where the baby was growing.

Time watched as Hyrule’s magic traveled through Malon’s abdomen, reaching towards the baby. Warriors placed a hand on his shoulder as a comfort, a much needed comfort. When Hyrule pulled his hand away, he smiled and removed the single tear that fell.

“He’s a strong little one. Maybe four months old.”

“He?” Time asked.

“My magic doesn’t just tell me of an injury, it shows me like an echo of what is inside: muscles, veins, nerves, organs. I saw a ‘him’.”

Time was ready to throw in the towel when it came to being a hero and just be a husband and a father, but the new expression on Hyrule’s face made him pause. “What aren’t you saying?”

Hyrule bit his bottom lip, clearly thinking over his words. “When a mother is with child and becomes injured, especially with a dangerous injury like this, her body defends itself in every way it can, even if the mother doesn’t want it to.”

“‘Rule, what are you saying?” Warriors asked, hand tightening on Time’s shoulder.

With a heavy sigh, he told them. “Malon’s body may self terminate the pregnancy due to the stress of the injury.”

‘No, no! No! I refuse to believe that she- that he- I will not believe that he will slip through our fingers before he takes a single breath!’

“I will do everything in my power to prevent that and to save them both.” Hyrule added, already pouring his life spell into Malon’s wound.

Time waited there unmoved for however long, could have been hours, before Hyrule took a deep breath, wavering slightly in his place. Time hated to say it, but Hyrule needed to rest. “Traveler, take a break.”

“No-” he yawned, “-I’m okay.”

“Itervalues like we did with Twilight.”

“But…”

“You won’t be any good to them if you drain yourself beyond what you are meant to. Lay down in the bed, get some rest.” Time left no room to argue.

“Wars, can you check on Wild and the others?” Hyrule asked as he kicked off his booth, succumbing to the needed rest his magic needed.

Warriors nodded, then turned towards Time. “Do you want the others to know what’s going on?”

“No point in hiding it.”

With Hyrule asleep, Warriors debriefing the others and Malon unconscious, Time figured he needed to listen to his own words. He tried to be as quiet as he could as he took off his bulky armor and chainmail, placing it all in the corner of the room for later. He took the chair that sat up against the wall and brought it over to the side of the bed he had been keeping post at.

Sitting, he leaned forward onto his elbows, taking Malon’s right hand into both of his. He kissed each finger tip, knuckle, the back of her hand, followed by her palm that he then laid against his unscarred cheek. Her fingers twitched against his cheek, bringing a sad smile to his lips.

‘How did it come to this?’

Knowing he couldn’t do much else than be supportive at his wife’s side, he laid his head down on the bed, right hand hand laid protectively over their son. Her right arm that he was holding, slid over his shoulders limply as he laid down, but it was still comforting and warm over him.

Days stretched on for what seemed to be months. Malon woke a few times in the first several days, coherent enough to talk, to talk about the baby and to assure the younger men in the house that she was going to be just fine. She also demanded that Hyrule didn’t work too hard for her sake, knowing good and well that he wasn’t going to listen.

The next few days it was harder for her to talk, only making little sounds. A fever hit her hard. She shivered, trying to pull the blankets over her with the little strength she had, but they couldn’t let her keep all that body heat in like she was wanting. Instead, Time offered some heat from his body, allowing her to sleep at least more comfortably.

Then Malon stopped waking up outside of her eyes opening. The wound itself was closing, but the lines were spreading. Spreading not towards her heart like they thought it would, but to her abdomen. The poison was searching for the weakest point in her body and that happened to be their son. The horror of the situation was noticed three days ago. Today… today was one of the worst days of Time’s life.

Today, Time woke to a smell in the air that reminded him of a battlefield. He checked over the wound, but it was fine. It hit him like a brick wall when he ripped the covers back.

“Hyrule!!” Time called from his open bedroom door. The sound of something breaking was followed by curses and multiple running footsteps.

Time’s hands were covered in blood, some even on his face from trying to clear his eyes of blinding tears when Hyrule, Legend, Warriors and Twilight rushed in. The last three paused at the sight. Warriors was the first to move forward to help.

Time was knelt at the side of the bed, Malon’s hand clutched in his. “I-is… Is he-?” He couldn’t get the question out.

Hyrule’s shoulders slumped forward. “She hasn’t woken up in days, we need to force feed a stamina potion into her, see if she will wake up.”

“On it!” Legend darted out of the room.

“Hyrule?” Time tried again.

“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry Time, but she miscarried. Her body didn’t have any other choice.”

“That can’t- that can’t be it. It can’t just be over. There has to be something we can do, a red potion, something!” Anything!

Hyrule shook his head. “Right now, we need to focus on saving Malon. Giving her any kind of healing would only cause the baby to be trapped inside her and that could kill her quickly.”

Time stood at full height, glaring with a snarl. “Try something anyways!” Warriors placed a calming hand on Time’s arms, but Time pulled away and grabbed ahold of the Traveler’s arm in a too tight of grip. “Save them both!”

Hyrule’s eyes were dangerous. “Get him out of here if all he is going to do is prevent me from doing what needs to be done.”

Time went to lunge for Hyrule, but Warriors forced him back, resulting in an audible crack against the Captain’s jaw. Going back for Hyrule, Time was tackled by Twilight. The younger tried to haul his ancestry away, making it to the door before Time turned on him too. Twilight readjusted his hold, getting his arms around Time’s middle from behind and slammed them both into the wall.

“Let go!”

“Can’t do that!”

“Let. GO!” Time roared, but the fight bled out of him as Legend poured the potion into Malon’s mouth. She woke with a gasp, then screamed from the pain in her core.

Time missed everything said as he slid down the wall to the floor, Twilight still holding onto him. He was curled in on himself, blood covered hands hovered in front of his face. He held his breath, trying to keep it all in. His veins bulged from his neck and forehead while his skin turned red.

Twilight had Time sitting between his legs as he pulled him closer, saying, “Let it out. Breathe and let it all out.”

Time did just that as he turned his head to Twi’s chest, gripping the young man's sleep shirt and hollered with every bottled up emotion he had suppressed since Dark attacked Malon. He never once was told that it was okay, because it wasn’t okay.

Still having tears roll down his face after an unknown amount of time, he looked up to see Hyrule holding a towel in his arms. Time straightened up, curious eyes looking at the bundle.

“I thought you might want to see him, before he- before he is properly buried.” Hyrule slowly went to his knees, transferring the too small of a baby wrapped up into Time’s arms.

“We will give you some privacy.” Twilight said, giving Time the space he needed.

Time sat there against the wall, almost scared to open the towel up. To see was to be real. He didn’t want it to be real, but he would never disrespect the dead that way. He cradled the towel in his right arm, pulling the edge back with his left. He covered his mouth as another choked sob slipped through. So tiny, not even fully developed… The father oh so softly stroked the baby’s cheek with a single fingertip.

He laid in the bed with his wife tucked into his side, child placed on both of them to hold. He spoke into Malon’s red hair. “I’m sorry… There are so many things I am sorry for. You weren’t supposed to get hurt, ever. Our adventures so rarely involve our loved ones, but I was such a fool to think this one would go by the same guidelines.”

He paused, breathing in his wife, alive and nearly healed.

“This will be my greatest regret.”

Notes: Was going to add a whole scene where Sky made a pretty engraved coffin and Time buries the baby and curses Hylia for doing this to them, but I couldn't talk myself into doing it.

Omg i have this thought of koko again

As much as we want to belive all families are perfect lowkey imagine there’s a few sparkles of entitled family members- I can see if a family memeber wants to wear white on your wedding day or even any shades of white Koko bans them or sends death threats- bc no one allow to try to out stage the bride white is the only thing that the bride should be in. I love to know too thay if there’s a specific color that worn for brides then it’s also banned- many brides wear red as wedding dresses? Ok then no one allow to wear red or even a shade of red or even a pink shade in the wedding

- 🌑

koko will visit and threaten as many relatives as he has to in order to make sure the wedding goes exactly how you want it to go, and if a relative somehow manages to fuck something up then know that he is going to do everything in his power to make them feel utterly humiliated. relative wears a white dress? oh no, they somehow spilt red wine on it, that or koko will blatantly point out how fucking disrespectful they are and the whole family will just jump on the bandwagon. someone shows up in the wrong color, no matter, koko baught extra outfits of all variety and sizes that they can change into, and if they refuse? well shit, looks like they can't enter the venue 🤷‍♂️

koko is absolutely not about to let any entitled bitch ruin your perfect day.

"Ser Otto Hightower believed that Prince Daemon Targaryen would be a second Maegor the Cruel if he would ever ascend to the throne, and at the start of the civil war his daughter Alicent claimed that Daemon would be "as cruel and unforgiving as Maegor ever was" as king consort. Daemon's wife, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, came to be considered a grasping, cruel, vindictive woman, and was dubbed "King Maegor with teats" by a wit in King's Landing."

Lmao daemon and rhaenyra never came even close to the depravity Maegor comitted.

Maegor Usurped and killed his nephew. Forced several women to marry him, including his niece, killed 2 of his wives, tortured one, slaughtered all the builders of his castle, purged house Harroway, had his nephew Viserys tortured, demanded princess Rhaella's death, raped an innkeep's daughter, and much more.

The worst thing daemon ever did was Blood & Cheese. That was deplorable and gross and I won't justify or excuse it. Other than that what did daemon ever do to make people think he'd be the 2nd Maegor? Hate the wife he was forced to marry at 16? Whore? Drink? Explore Kings Landing and live amongst the smallfolk? Viciously punish criminals as Lord Commander of the Gold Cloaks to protect his brothers subjects? Make insensitive comments like "heir for a day"? Allegedly took rhaenyra's virginity?

Rhaenyra? Well, idk if she's done anything even close to as bad as Blood & Cheese or anything maegor did. Choose not to rape her gay husband for children? Had children with someone actually interested in women to have heirs? Marry her uncle? What?

And please don't come onto this post whining about what they did during the war. These comments were made before war even broke out. Many of these rumours were spread prior to the Dance; most of them were made during the Green Council and before.

It's the height of irony that Daemon and Rhaenyra are compared to Maegor, considering its the Greens (specifically Otto, Alicent, and Aegon), who are more like Maegor with the simple fact that they're Usurpers (taking Rhaenyra, the previous monarchs lawful heir's throne) and started the Dance in the first place.

If we really compare:

Maegor - Aegon II (Usurped the lawful and chosen heir, Rhaenyra)

Visenya - Alicent (organised for her son to usurp the rightful ruler and installed him as king)

Aegon the Uncrowned - Rhaenyra (rightful heir usurped by family memeber and subsequently murdered by said family member)

Wait, are you a Michael Jackson fan? I just discovered it now, god, I love him so much, but almost everything I see or hear about him in the media upsets me so terribly. All these streams of insults addressed to him in recent years after that "documentary" film, people do not want to understand, they are just glad that they again have a "reason" for bullying. But most of all it upsets me when they say what an amazing father Joe was and that it was thanks to him that Michael became a great singer. Joe was a fucking abuser and a scumbag, and I'll never stop saying that. The general reaction on Twitter to his death, "he was a great man and we are grateful to him," so terribly pissed me off. Loving Michael for me has always been akin to the experience of being in the ATLA fandom: there are too many stupid or hateful people who spoil all the joy of what you love so much.

I sure am! He was truly one of a kind and I've been very happy that everyone is giving me all the excuses to praise him as much as I want.

God, anyone who says Joseph Jackson was good father is either in denial or doesn't know a damn thing about him.

There's a reason Michael literally said that, when he was younger, he felt like throwing up whenver he saw his father. A reason why Michael's brothers were all entitled as fuck, and why their exes always said "Michael was literally the only one who didn't turn out exactly like Joseph" whenever they were trashing these guys.

That reason is: Joseph Jackson physically, verbally, and emotionally abused his children, and he trained every single one of them to see every awful thing he did as not just acceptable, but necessary. He wasn't just as violent, cruel man. He was a manipulative scumbag too.

I get extra mad when people (especially many memebers of the Jackson family) try to excuse it as "Oh, but that was just the way to discipline children back then"

1 - Segregation was once "the norm." In many countries, child brides are "the norm." For many people war is "the norm." "Thing is accepted/part of a whole group's reality" is not the same as "thing is completely fine." What Joseph put his children through was abuse, doesn't matter if they forgave him, if it was the "norm", or if they genuinely (incorrectly) believe they achieved all they achieved because of him instead of inspite of him, it was already wrong back then, it is still wrong now, and it will ALWAYS be wrong.

2 - If you don't know how to discipline a child without hitting them, you're a shit parent. Plain and simple.

Ah, Leaving Neverland. I'm gonna be cliche and make the joke of "The one documentary that doesn't actually document anything." The way people were acting like it brought forth any kind of real evidence against Michael instead of just contradictory statements and drone shots is ridiculous.

I will give Robson and Safechuck props for one thing though: it is one hell of a bold move to base your entire "testimony" on the fake-diary of the alleged original victim (Jordan Chandler), which was actually the pornography novel with the very explicit fantasies of the proud, confessed pedophile Victor Gutierrez, who basically claimed "If anything sexual happened between Michael and this kid, it's because the kid was totally in love and consented, so it was beautiful actually."

I mean, it's bold because it's stupid and immoral on every level, but still, can't say I saw that one coming.

Q. 40- Favorite Memory

A. My favorite memory is a lot harder to decide than it used to be. After spending most my life in a dense depression fog, with one glowing light that I used to hold onto like it was made of oxygen, I now have had whole months over the last few years that have plenty of memories to choose from so it makes narrowing it down a little tricky. I'm going to go with that first memory though since it is solely responsible for my continued existence.

I can't remember the year, but I remember why baby brother was very young, no more than 2 years old, and I was in my mid to late teens. Despite growing up super poor, my family would save for years and years to visit Disneyland CA. We were getting ice cream on Main Street U.S.A. while waiting for the fireworks to start at the end of the last day. My parents got to talking to a cast memeber. She asked us questions about how long we were visiting, how far we were traveling, etc and after learning we it was our last day and that we were going back to Idaho and wouldn't be returning for several years at least, she told us to grab our stuff and follow her. She led us to the center of the plaza, that was ropped off for VIPS and stuff, and let us in. There was got to sit in the middle of the park, with nothing and I mean NOTHING obscuring our view of the fireworks. It was amazing. I remember looking down at my baby brother with his little face gazing wide up at the sky, gripping my dad's shoulder for dear life. He was too young to know what was happening, and clearly a little scared by all the banging, but a smile would spread across his face after every bang that made him jump. I look down several times during the show and by the end, he had fallen asleep on my dad's shoulder, no longer jumping at the sound of explosions. There when the show was over, we all left slowly talking about how amazing the whole experience was and thanking the cast member on our way out. I took my baby brother from my dad and carried him out of the park behind everyone else. I can't tell you how much that memory means to me. I can still smell it. The smoke. The ice cream, the Main Street vibe. I wish I were there now.

Q. 42- Favorite Book

A. My favorite book in 'The Country Wife' by Dorothy Van Doren. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lay around on a hot afternoon in the Sun with a plate of butter crackers and a tall glass of iced tea.

Thank you for the asks!

Eclipse person again, and I just looked up when the next eclipse is coming and it won’t come until 2044 or something. And it’s only going over like the Dakota states only. My family’s also manipulated by trump related stuff but not as bad as it could be. These feelings resurfaced because a family memeber got to see the total eclipse and the way she described it was so fucking cool. It looks so cool, and I couldn’t even look out the window because “it’ll do something bad to you!!!1!111!!” Sorry for such bad vibes ig. I’m just really upset and I hate how no matter much I explain and talk to them about anything normal they still believe they’re barely logical thinking. Worst part is my entire family is moving to Alabama and my mom picked it bc it’s mostly white people. I just hate that the only people I know are just terrible people bc I was like 14 when Covid started and now I’m 18 and it’s had a massive effect on me but idk how to get better I guess for a lack of better words. Sorry for such a long rant I really do appreciate it even if this is the first and last time❤️

You're not bringing me down or bringing bad vibes. You're reaching out because you're hurting and that's okay. We all need someone. I'm just privileged that you chose me to talk to. The next eclipse will come when you're 38, right? Hopefully you'll be in a better spot by then. Sadly, having families not think we're logical is pretty common, especially if one member of the family has different political or life views.

That's disturbing why your family is moving, but Alabama has a lot of struggles that affect everyone, but it is certainly worse for many POC from what I've been told. I live in the South and its certainly that way for my POC friends, here. The pandemic was hard on everyone for sure. Have you tried something like bumble bff? It's an online app. It's known for being a dating app, but you can just stay in the friend section. That's what I'm trying to do. People have been recommending more discord groups to me. I personally don't know of any new ones, but if you're able to find any non toxic ones, that would be helpful.

Anyway, you're welcome on my blog so feel free to anon me anytime. That goes for anyone!

[sorcerous-caress]

Okay yes please on the Minthara’s servant in the underdark AU! Ramble your thoughts about it too me.

Okay SO SO!

Scenario A : we are also a drow

Not a member of her house but one who was given from another house. We are here to serve her and make sure all her needs are met, or maybe we were assigned as a house mage or a servant for another family memeber.

What matters is, she finds herself getting attached to us. And she knows how dangerous that is in drow culture, how much this weakness could be used against her.

She tries to forget us, to ignore us, or to even have us transferred to another house. She is in deep denial over her feelings

I'm imagining this as a slow burn princess/servant fanfic where Minthara goes through the 5 stages of grief. It's starts with her wanting to get rid of us or ignore us but ends with her defending us from someone. She fully embraces her feelings and doesn't want anything bad to happenen to us.

Scenario B : we are from the surface

Which probably means we got taken as a hostage or a slave, if we ever gain our freedom back it means we will have to earn it by blood.

Maybe she is the one who captures us. If you're an elf then you'll get the enemies to friends to lovers trope but expect a lot and I mean a lot of hatred from her at the start. It will be painful and filled with heartbreak and betrayal.

If you're any other race, she will be more respectful and tolerant of you. You're still below her but your mistakes will be forgiven more because you have the excuse of being ignorant and she'd be lying if she said she didn't find it endearing. You'll be more like a pet to her than a slave, she will be more protective and possessive of you. You'll both teach each other something as you try to overcome the huge cultural differences

Scenario C : we're a free person.

Could be a drow, could be a surface race. Doesn't really matter because you have fully earned your freedom and all of Menzoberranzan knows that. You still have to treat her with respect as a noble drow princess but nothing more.

Maybe you're a merchant or maybe you fun a coffee shop in the undercity. Whatever it is, you do this one thing that you find fulfilling and move on with your life.

The two of you meet by accident, or she finds your shop one day. Weirdly she feels relaxed there and starts frequenting it more and more. At least it's good for business to have a drow princess in your humble store.

Even if half the people who come there to see her are trying to murder her, you do put them in line because you'll have no drinks getting posioned while you're on the clock. Minthara notices and is moved. A romance slowly flourishes.

#i may or may have not daydreamed about this a lot a lot #there is Scenario D where you're a sex-worker and the two of you have this forbidden romance #there is scenario E where you meet her while she is on her first ever surface raid and you were the hired guide for her drow wagon #you see her sneer at the sun and other cute moments #Scenario F where you're a hot drow princess too and the two of you are rivals but your rivaly is just an act and you're in love #scenario G where you're a court musician or jester and fall in love with her #♡Minthara #♡fluff #♡MajestyMinthara

[itsnothingofinterest]

You know what, I’m gonna do something fun. You remember that theory I had about AFO stealing the Shimuras quirks and those quirks & corresponding vestiges being in Tomura? Well I’m thinking I’m gonna take a crack at guessing what those quirks could be (/making up whatever sounds cool & might work because there’s not much to build off of), under the assumption that Tomura will get and use them like Deku and the OFA vestige quirks. Because I’ve grown really attached to this theory*.

Kotaro Shimura:

Starting off is everyone’s...at least 2nd least hated abusive parental figure of MHA and Nana’s son; Kotaro.

My guess for him is one I had since his last appearance alive, when a pair of hedge trimmers seemed like they flew to his hand to help him strike his son. Not that that’s how it happened in the anime, but I’m still attached to the idea regardless. I think he had a form of Psychokinesis, similar to Inko Midoriya (if you’d like, feel free to insert an Inko Shimura theory here). It seems a natural child quirk to Float, and would be useful to Tomura.

A telepathy quirk would, for example, allow Tomura to fight at range in a way he (and most of his allies) otherwise can’t; which opponents have tried to use against him in the past.

Chizuo:

Now, because of that fact that quirks build of their parent quirks, we’re gonna be a bit unconventional and do the grandparents next and move down the family tree; starting with the father-in-law because his cooking gives him one (1) actual character trait to base some assumptions off of. So I’m only mostly making something up from thin air.

Of course it probably wouldn’t be anything too impressive, being a civilian, so I’m gonna go with something really basic but potentially useful. Namely, a heightened sense of taste and smell that allowed him to become a fairly decent cook in life; mostly for his family.

Still as I said, basic can be useful, and a heightened sense of small could provide Shigaraki numerous advantages like it does Gigantomachia; such as tracking opponents or sniffing out traps.

Mako:

The grandmother, and sadly the one who we know the least about and has no parents I can speculate on; meaning I’m just making something up from scratch. If there’s anything to build on, it’s that she was a caring person, and I kinda get the impression she was the bread-winner of the pair back in her day. Hmm...

How’s about a Magic Hand quirk. Like the DnD cantrip. The ability to conjure some energy hands for when you need an extra pair or some extra reach. ...It’s the best I got.

Now Magic Hand might not seem too useful for Tomura; what with them likely to not be able to kill people or steal quirks like his normal hands, and also he can conjure all the hands he wants now. But idk, I think a pair of ghostly grabbers could prove useful.

Nao Shimura:

The penultimate family memeber; it’s time for Tenko’s kinder parent, Nao Shimura. Sadly, she is also someone without much of a developed personality outside her familial role to take power ideas from; but we did just came up with ideas for her parents to combine & build off of. Better than nothing.

Magic Hand & Enhanced Taste shall combine to form Body Double. The idea is that she conjures up an assistant made from a mist she exhales to, like her mom’s quirk, act as an extra pair of hands. Except it’s better because it’s a whole body. Still relatively short range though, if just to give room for her daughter.

This would be useful to Tomura as a distraction and something to take a hit for him when he’s in danger. Because it feels fitting for his mother’s quirk to be the one to best protect his life. (especially since I keep theorizing he’ll give Regen to Dabi.)

Hana Shimura:

Last but only technically least, one of the first Shimuras we ever saw, and the one I assume has the best quirk after Decay in the Shimura family since she had ambitions of being a hero; it’s Hana’s turn.

Factoring that with her free spirit, and combining Psychokinesis with Body Double, I’m guessing she had an Astral Projection quirk. The ability to create a solid double of herself which can be remote controlled. Unlike her mother’s quirk, which was more like an extra set of limbs, Astral Projection allows the user to see and hear through it and use it from any distance; and had Hana grown proficient with it, she even would have been able to change it’s shape in a variety of useful ways.

When combined with the AFO quirk in Tomura’s hands though, it allows for an even greater application. As by allowing a quirk vestige to inhabit the Astral Projection; Tomura could effectively bring back to life anyone who’s quirk was stolen, including anyone in his family. With enough control, perhaps his entire family! Now the catch is that any Projection may not be able to use their own quirk, as that would still be in Tomura’s body. But since the form could shape shift, the vestige may be able to replicate their quirk by simply shaping their body the way it should do with their quirk.

Such an awesome ability would surely become one of Tomura’s headliner powers, thus making the duo they always wanted to be...probably minus the ‘hero’ part, depending on when all this happens. (And honestly I don’t think he could ever be a hero with how the word has been soured for him.) But the important part is, they’d be working together. And with the rest of the family to boot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Incidentally, because I am so attached t this theory, I happily welcome others to share their own ideas for the Shimuras’ quirks if you have any and are interested in sharing (which I presume you are if you’ve read this far into this theory post).

Everything I've read in Jan. 2024

Yona of the dawn

Yona was the first story that i read this year and damm was it the right way to set the tone for the year. It's a story that has all of the elements that I adore in the fantasy genre, its got the action, political drama, the multi-facted characters. I won't be saying much about this manga because i have already have an older post talking about my favorite aspects, so if you want more in depth thoughts you can search for that

Kashoku no shiro

Now here is a fun setting, Taisho era Japan with supernatural elements. Quick run down of the story, people are being affected by a mysterious disease that makes flowers bloom all over their bodies, once the flowers wilt so does the person but there are cases where they recover and become even healthier. But plot twist, the ones who survive will become demons who feast on human flesh. So thats where our protagonist Shiraume comes in, she acts as 'bait' for these demons, essentially luring them out for her master to slaughter

If i had to tell you what drew me to this story, it would be the art style, like it is drop dead gorgeous. Also the design of our heroine is just my type too which is a bonus

Plot wise it does feel a little all over the place, it jumps persecptive quite often. Like it jumps form a detective story, to a josei love story, to Demon slayer which feels kinda jarring for me. But the backstory of our protagonist was done quite well, one thing i can praise is that our heroine isn't a simpering doormat. It's true that she has lived a hard life but she just keep living in the best way that she can manage. Shiraume is never the type to mope around or bemoan her fate, she takes charge and endure, she does everything in her power to live for her loved ones.

Its a good read all in all, but since theres only about 20 chapters that are out i can't really tell if this is gonna flop or not. I'll be keeping on eye on it to see if the author manages to get it together.

Bibliophile princess

The most mediocre otome isekai story i've ever fucking read. Its vanilla, like 'sex with the lights off no kinky shit' vanilla.

Story-wise, it's a very simple set up. Book enthusiast Elianna is in a contract fiancee relationship with the crown prince who i cannot be bothered to remember or google the name of. She is beloved by all of the staff memebers, all the secondary male characters love her and she has a great family but oh no! It seems that the prince has fallen for another woman, which means that her engagement with the prince will be ending soon. Yeah if your an otome isekai reader you can guess where this is going, villainess tries to ruin our heroines rep by spreading false rumors yada yada yada...

Similar to Kashoku no shiro, what drew me in was the art nouveau style. I mean the amount of details in the illustrations are amazing, coupled with the dreamy pastel color palette it creates this feeling that you really are in a fairy tale world

One of my main problems with the first volume is how weirdly structured the story is. Like it begins with the prince asking Elianna to enter a contract relationship with him and them jumps to a four year time skip for no apparent reasoning? Like we don't get to see alot of romantic development between them so now suddenly Elianna is in love? But moving on, i felt like Elianna has like little to no self awareness or agency. The first volumes conflict is about how this noble girl is rumored to be the princes lover and is planning to take Eliannas place. At this point you would expect to see our heroine stand up for herself and assert her place in the court right? Wrong. She was basically left in the dark about whats truly going on until the end of the volume. It was revealed that the noble girl was a villain all along who was trying to frame Elianna for shit she didn't do, also conveniently our MC has a mile long list of accomplishments that we as the reader didn't know about, and apparently she didn't either. So yeah, the male leads basically was protecting her for the whole story and she just wandered around feeling insecure about being replaced

Cold game

Do you like the story of king Henry the eighths six wives? Do you wanna see all six of them do a battle royal for the chance to become queen? Do you like crossdressing heroines? Well look no further than Cold game

Our MC is princess Aruna of the B kingdom, yes i know weird name but bare with me here, who is meant to be engaged to the king of the E kingdom. But here's the sus part, he already has a queen from the S country but he's demanding another wife from the B country? Quite the odd request but since B is weaker than E they had to comply with the demands. Aruna knows she's being sent as a sacrificial lamb but her lord father told her to hang on for a bit, one day he will get her out of that place. So to protect herself, Aruna swap places with her handmaiden and pretended to be crossdressing knight.

One of the best things about this story is the political intrigue. Like from the get go, we are shown that the court is a brutal place where an inconspicuous letter can be the cause of your down fall. People here will always watch your every move, everyone fears one another to an extent. Also the side characters are so fucking cool, like these people can star in their own spin off kinda cool.

[intersex-questions]

Hey! Wanted to ask, are there any intersex variations that cause early puberty? We started puberty at around 3/4 years old and were further in puberty that our older sister, who was 11 at the time (and going through average puberty). We asked our mom about it, and she got incredibly defensive and upset before she said that she stopped us from eating pizza and ice cream and made us eat fresh fish, which made it stop. I don't really believe her because she lies ALOT (which my entire family is aware of), especially about things regarding my childhood. Not only that, we were poor at the time and we couldn't even afford regular fish from stores much less for fresh fish which was wayy more expensive and my siblings and I don't remember having much fish as a kids unless it was given to us by non-family memebers. And around that time, she started taking us to the doctor to get very painful shots even tho we weren't sick and had all of our vaccines already. Even with all that stuff she claims to have done puberty still didn't really stop. Quite literally, the only thing we didn't experience till we were 12 was shark week, and we started growing boobs at 3, but it stopped and started back at around 8. Apart from that, we had been experiencing everything else since we were 3. It was really difficult and painful growing up like that. People thought it was okay and acceptable to treat us like shit and also adultify us. When we were a pre-teen, certain stuff became much more noticeably masculine looking and we also think we may have hirutism (did the ferriman-gallwey thing and got 23) which also led to our parents becoming way worse to us in regard to this and to more harassment from others. Ah shit im kinda rambling sorry I hope this makes sense

(also regarding the we/our's in this, we have DID and use we/our and i/my interchangeably)

Don't worry, you're making sense! No need for apologies. Rambling is welcome on this blog and is actually very beneficial to me helping and answering your questions/concerns.

(Since you're a system, please note that when I use "you" as a collective to refer to the whole system or all the individuals who relate to or are experiencing what you sent in the ask!)

First off, I'm very sorry about all the hardships you've had to go through. That's awful, and no one deserves that. You are wonderful the way you are.

Now, to answer your questions!

Precocious puberty is the term for early puberty. This is what you experienced. There have been some studies that connect eating fish to delaying puberty, which is why I could think your mother did this.

If you were getting shots, you were likely going through GnRH analogue therapy. GnRH refers to gonadotropin releasing hormone. Gonadotropins are a hormone that affect the gonads (sex organs), gametes (sex cells), and sex horomones. Essentially, these delay development in puberty, but how effective they are and how much they work varies from person to person.

For you, I cannot say if this was medically necessary or not. It depends on the body.

Precocious puberty in itself is often a symptom of or comorbid (commonly occurring with) another condition, however pinpointing its cause is often difficult to impossible. So, basically, yes, it can be because of an intersex variation. It can be caused by or connected to thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands, and/or ovarian issues/problems/variations, which commonly are connected to intersex conditions.

It can also be caused by brain tumors or brain injury, although I doubt that that is the case since you are still alive and fine today and didn't mention having sustained any brain injuries.

McCune–Albright syndrome is a condition that can cause precocious puberty. It is a genetic disorder that effects the bones, endocrine system, and skin. It is a mosaic condition, which means that there is a presence of more than one genetic line for a given genotype (like a given little genetic message, usually organisms are expected to only have one genotype). It is often characterized by fibrous dysplasia (disorder where bone/marrow has fibrous tissue which leads to it being weak and being susceptible to expansion), endocrine diseases, hyperpigmentation of the skin, hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid hormones), hypophosphatemia (low phosphate levels in the blood), excess growth hormones, and very rarely Cushing's syndrome (a condition characterized by prolonged exposure to cortisol and glucocotoroid.)

Besides that and certain kinds of tumors/brain lesions, hypothyroidism is the only known cause of true precocious puberty as far as I know.

This is the only thing that could be an intersex variation for an individual that I can think of that has significantly precocious puberty as a symptom. However, I'm sure there are other intersex variations with precocious puberty as symptoms that I'm not thinking of. Many intersex variations have early or late puberty as symptoms.

Precocious puberty can also be caused by langerhans cell histiocytosis and tuber cinereum hamartoma, neither of which are related to intersex conditions as far as I know. (Other than the fact that tumors can affect development and hormonal levels.)

Now, besides all that, I'd just like to say that if you feel if your life experiences are intersex, then you are completely allowed to label as such or assert that you are intersex. Intersex is a term open to anyone who is born with or naturally develops abnormalities in their primary or secondary sex characteristics that fall outside of the understood commonly propagated binary sex model used for humans. Personally, I consider hirsutism as an inherently intersex variation all on its own. Some people believe you need a specific diagnosis to be intersex, but I am of the opinion that, if you feel it fits your life experience, then you are welcome to use it. You never need a specific diagnosis for an intersex variation to be intersex. I also think that precocious puberty can be inherently intersex if an individual knows that it gives them an intersex experience.

I hope that I managed to answer your questions and concerns well enough. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers!

EDIT: Early puberty (not necessarily precocious puberty, but early puberty in general) is often associated with NCAH and LOCAH, which could make sense for you considering you have hirsutism. I talk about NCAH/LOCAH here. Thank you to @chaoticmellows for reminding me! I knew I was forgetting something major. In all actuality, NCAH/LOCAH is the most likely candidate if you did have a specific intersex variation, although you know your body best!
