#would u believe i literally have no weapon ever lmaoo

[fiovske]

I would really really love to hear about that DnD part of yours!! what are you up to who are you playing if you don't mind sharing of course

oh i dont mind talking about our d&d party at all! Our campaign is set in a wildlife Reserve and its a very non-combat based campaign like the primary objective rn is to solve the reason and source of necromantic surge of energies happening in the reserve and in doing so, whatever we do, we have is to make sure we DO NOT injure or hurt the occupants of the reserve, which ranges from a wide range of beasts and specimens to behirs and what not so like its safe grounds for creatures that might be a danger onto others or to themselves or simply creatures who have nowhere else to go. Non-violence means has ALWAYS been the primary objective of this campaign!

its difficult managing the situation bc d&d is designed to be a combat-based game and we're playing it exactly opposed to that in the way our 'attacks' are more actions and we have to stay on the non-lethal side of things! and handle the situation, even in a combat scenario, w/o bloodshed, at least on the other occupants of the reserve. they can and do attack us! as wild creatures are wont to! so we often have to come up w creative and non-attack based use of our arsenal and spells. its really fun!

as for me, I play a panda, cleric of the Raven Queen from Shadowfell who really likes sunlight and whose favourite colour is greens and yellows! there's a Satyr wizard also from Shadowfell a nerd and a painter! we have an aasimar w a shotgun who is an amazing cook, a halforc druid who has adopted a baby grey render and therefore dealing w the crisis of early parenthood, and a kobold princess who is a dedicated academic with her vocal enthusiasm at the workings of the reserve!

we dont just play d&d we intend to sweep around a lot of other ttrpg systems as we go. we do have a lot of fun tbh as we do a set of quests which take us to different places! we have travelled to a basilisk nest to study their sudden growth and collect basilisk oil, we have been to a frozen town and its frozen lake underwater w NPCs which was a v beautiful arc! we have tackled a fundraiser where the necromantic surge occured again, a sort of corruption in the reserve. which has a whole lot of us concerned tbh. also in our system we cant and dont use revivify/resurrection spells so that makes the stakes permanent!

right now we're deciding what our next mission would be we're spoilt for choice it's either study faerie dragons in the feywild, travel to a city deep in the underdark where they do not navigate by the sense of sight or light at all, climb a mount like Everest situation to help the old behir at the reserve travel up to better climates where she would feel better, since she can't teleport to shadowfell but it seems the behir was born on the mountain so that's interesting!! also there's another option of chasing a skyswimmer, an extraplannar sky-swimming serpent for documenting and collecting samples etc w/o actually harming the beast at all since the reserve has no records of such a creature at all.

so thats a decision we debate on and make next session!

#its a whole lot of fun tbh! this campaign is SO FUN. #fleece DMs this campaign and they are. SO GOOD at this #their npcs the story beats the choices we make as players etc #IT ALL gelds so well we just have a shitton of fun #like we just has a primarily downtime ep this session but the combat prev was gruelling. #everyone has such interesting backstories and their arcs just. flourish ok its. very fun to see and witness and enjoy and be a part of! #would u believe i literally have no weapon ever lmaoo #its a very fun campaign!!

my thoughts on TUA season 2

(spoilers, obviously)

- opened with Klaus and Ben, my kings. Klaus’s hair looks so weird straightened while short 

- AWESOME opening soundtrack 

- seeing all their powers so controlled makes me wonder how they leveled up to that skill in the alternate timeline. like the only time we saw Klaus use the powers of other ghosts in the correct timeline was when two of them caught him falling out of the sky. however Diego did end up controlling bullets and Allison used her voice to technically kill one of the Swedes

- the homeless man screaming Allison’s name alongside Luther... funny shit

- big teddy bear Hazel

- Elliot was fucking awesome i think he was a great addition as a side character. rip tho :(

- honestly i don’t understand why Diego would WANT to save JFK. like it’s not that big of a deal. does he not understand what messing with the timeline can do??

- Lila... impeccable

- Sissy and Vanya... impeccable <3

- yeah and fuck u Carl

- ugh, Klaus’s beard. disgusting <3

- Ben and Klaus definitely act like they should be, given that they’ve been stuck with each other for over a decade. i’ve seen some people calling Klaus an asshole for not telling his siblings about Ben, which is completely understandable (cause he was an asshole), but I’m guessing it was because he was afraid? that sharing Ben with his siblings would mean that he would lose him to them, or his siblings would find him selfish, or they would ask something of him that he couldn’t give. if that makes sense

- that ghost bitch comment was funny tho 

- to the guy who called Klaus pretty boy at the bar: sir you don’t know what you’re getting into

- Raymond!! he’s such a sweetheart, i really liked him in the show. i’m really happy that Allison has found a bit of normalcy (as normal as the 1960s Civil Rights movement could be). it shows how passionate she is about what she believes in: even though she knows the movement is far from over, even back in 2019, she’s not gonna abandon it

- Allison staring at the moon every night: either thinking about Luther or how the moon blows them all up. maybe both

- of course Luther would be working for Jack Ruby

- awesome cinematography during the mental asylum escape 

- yeah it makes sense that the Handler would still be alive. she was a cool villain. although it would’ve been awesome to see how evil a fish could be

- Diego’s plan was pretty stupid. that’s my boy

- honestly they revealed how Klaus started a cult really well by having one of his followers find him at jail. Klaus, ever the musical aficionado, of course writes his scripture based off of pop songs

- Raymond and Klaus meeting!! that was cool to see how their paths connected

- Lila painting Elliot’s toenails green. ugh i love that crazy bitch

- i LOVE how they incorporated the umbrella man!! tbh i’ve always believed he was the one behind the assassination. Lee Harvey Oswald was framed 

- honestly a bit understandable that Luther was planning on killing Vanya? cause he had no idea who she is now, but them reuniting was actually really sweet. he’s grown up so much

- the Swedes and their cats.

- the Umbrella company building with the nuclear family mannequins... creepy, awesome shit

- baby pogo baby pogo baby pogo baby pogo

- shanked diego shanked diego shanked diego shanked diego

- did anyone else get vibes from Klaus’s episode opening that he was an escort to the old woman? like how he was being shown off at her arm or something and getting out of jail from a call from the governor. idk maybe the lady was just very taken with him, as anyone would be

- Elliot, our helpful king

- Allison and Klaus’s reunion was so sweet!! i’m so glad they got to interact so much more in this season 

- Ben getting Raymond out through a haunting... hilarious

- sweet intimate moment between Lila and Diego

- Ray meeting Luther was hilarious, but i do feel for the poor guy. i mean i’m not in love with my adoptive sister but still

- the sit-in was really well done and beautiful while terrible. the ‘riot’ that ensued was very appropriate for today’s setting 

- D-Dave

- honestly i was scared that Klaus was gonna be overly attracted to him or whatever, which would be weird cause he’s years younger than Klaus, but honestly, at the core he just wanted to save Dave’s life. even if it means never meeting him in a different timeline. he truly loved Dave. and that ptsd flashback was done so well

- i knew Lila wasn’t trustworthy but i didn’t REALLY expect that! 

- Vanya and Luther talking with each other, Luther admitting the apocalypse wasn’t all her fault. beautiful

- the Majestic 12 reminds me of the conspiracy theory that only a few families control basically everything in the world. the Majestic 12 may be based off of that, idk

- idk about everyone else but Klaus’s scorpion and the frog story made total sense to me! frogs ARE bitches

- the diner scene.... ugh. it really shows that the two of them did fall in love and they did stupid in love things, like talking about their family, about why Dave wanted to join, favorite colors, favorite foods, etc. however that’s seen later on when Dave visits the compound

- yes it’s very disheartening when Klaus is attacked, but honestly i think it had to happen, just like the riot had to happen. the 60s weren’t a fun time for lgbt people and poc. it was only going to be a matter of time before the show HAD to acknowledge the consequences of Klaus’s ‘flamboyancy’ in 1963 Texas. it doesn’t make it right or easy to see, but it’s realistic. 

- it also makes sense that Klaus fell off the wagon after experiencing something like that. yes we all would’ve liked him to stay sober, but sobriety and recovery aren’t linear. 

- Allison is so happy with Ray can we please drop this pseudo-incest plotline let’s MOVE ON 

- Texas Grace ! who is not actually Grace rip (i think? i was a bit confused lol)

- the scene with Harlan running off was really upsetting but we got to see those weird light particles that we saw in the first season

- Pogo Pogo Pogo Pogo

- Klaus being a dick to Ben again, as brothers do. i do feel bad for Ben though it must be sooo frustrating. that scene with him and Allison was really sweet and funny tho

- i just have to say that Luther and Diego are so fucking funny this season it’s awesome. like there are a LOT of good lines overall by everyone but they’re hilarious. “At least he didn’t shank my ass” “no bro, he shanked your heart”“Dads part of a sinister CABAL that’s plotting on killing the president.” “a caBAL?”“You two still a thing? *leans in* do we need to talk?” “No, she’s married.” “Woah dude... that’s rough.” and countless others

- the sibling reunion!! 

- Klaus really does get left out of everything tbh

- Ben :(

- sisters and Klaus!! that was so awesome to see. and Klaus’s hairpins, Vanya saying she’s gonna tell Sissy she loves her, their dance sequence, Klaus calling Allison out on that incest. beautiful

- the fucking Swedish cover of Hello was PERFECT i mean i was sad for the Swedes but it was hilarious. there were a couple beautiful shots of the boat on fire though

- god it must’ve been so traumatizing for Allison to be thrust into such a hostile place with no voice and no way to contact her family

-  idk about you guys but long live Team Zero

- calling Ben that he was becoming their father was a bit uncalled for 

- the fact that Klaus didn’t help Dave’s chances, and in fact escalated Dave’s own timeline.. his trembling hands... robert sheehan is an amazing actor

- the Black president bit lmaoo loved it

- the way Reginald spoke to Diego.. i’m gonna throw hands with an old man

- Klaus LITERALLY looked like he was having a seizure and they all just... played it off?? 

- poor, poor Carl. nah fuck him lol

- that bloody opening scene was awesome! and thank god Five got to say fuck. the fact that it was about a candy bar makes too much sense

- Robert Sheehan acting as Ben: amazing showstopping spectacular he’s so talented

- the whole multiple Fives and Luther bit was honestly really funny, and i immensely respect smaller Five over bigger Five. 

- yes Klaus, you survived a family of seven. you got this

- not sad about Carl dying one bit!

- Ben... that was such a beautiful scene. not just the content of the scene, but the cinematography. Ben fading away... Vanya hugging him... ugh. the main takeaway i had from that scene is that at the core of it all, Ben and Klaus love each other immensely. they have a weird, dysfunctional, fucked up relationship, where Klaus is an asshole and Ben definitely shouldn’t of possessed him without his consent, but they’re still brothers, and Ben forgives him. 

- oof Ben’s funeral was hard. also was it just me or did Klaus’s kid actor sound weird? like it sounded like Robert was dubbing his lines 

- all the siblings back together again!!!! Klaus going with Vanya to save Harlan!! Vanya telling him Ben forgives him and that it wasn’t Klaus’s fault Ben got stuck with him!! everyone in the car!!! be still my beating heart

- yeah didn’t see Lila having powers coming tbh. i really feel bad for her she’s had such a rough and traumatic life, especially with the Handler as her only parental figure

- the Swede brother and Five putting down their weapons: “enough.” the Swede wanted revenge for his brothers - an eye for an eye, but there was a mutual understanding between the two of them: they would do anything for their family. if the Swede hurts one of the Hargreeves, Five would never stop coming after him. i thought it was very beautiful 

- mmm Reggie’s foreshadowing coming into play. proud of u Five

- the ending was so beautiful. everyone got closure in some type of way. except now Klaus is alone with nothing but his dog tags :(

- EMO BEN HAHAHA WTFFF?? is Lila in the sparrow academy? why was Ben’s portrait over the mantle piece? did Five disappear?? is the sparrow academy just older versions of the siblings who stuck around?? so many questions

FINAL THOUGHTS

- Ellen Page’s acting consistently blows me away. she is amazing 

- beautiful cinematography, funny writing, pretty good acting. i didn’t like the soundtrack as much as i did the first season’s, but some of it wasn’t bad.

- i’m glad ben got peace, but i’m also glad justin min isn’t gone for good. his social media presence is too vital for us

- i swear to god if they keep treating klaus as a joke and don’t let him get any actual development like everyone else had (he barely got closure with Dave, he reconciled with Ben through a second party) next season, i’m gonna riot. PLEASE i want to learn more about his powers now that Ben is gone. what happened to seeing tons of ghosts when he’s sober??

- Luther and Diego were probably my favorite duo of the season, I’m so happy that they’ve reconciled and are bonding more. 

- just seeing Vanya grow and be happy was amazing 

all in all, really wonderful season. i probably liked it better than the first one. now it’s time to consume fanfiction and maybe finish my own (check out “god doesn’t want him and neither does the devil” on ao3!)

as far as the future of this blog goes i wanna start using it more again! the mcelroys have gotten me out of some really dark places before so i hope having more connection to this community and the people here and their content again will help me like it has in the past! ill probs post more general mcelroy content here than previously rather than just taz btw i just gotta fuckin uhhhhh,,,, catch up on a bunch of shit again before this blog is even semi active lmaoo but im like alive and on tumblr regularly again!!

Wow u clicked on this and wanna hear me talk? Ur awesome and sweet, thanks for caring!

These past two years have been extraordinarily tough. This is gonna be a pretty long and detailed post that deals with the sensitive topics of emotional abuse, abusive relationships, and alcoholism. Please read on with caution.

Back in March of 2019, so this was about 3-4 months after i left tumblr, I got a new boyfriend and things started out really good, he was kind of a "bad boy" and it was fun at first. Im kind of a goody-goody so it was very interesting for me at first to be with someone so different who had such different life experiences than me. I liked hearing his stories of living in a traphouse, and running with gangs, and selling drugs, and knowing people who had killed people. I assumed a LOT of it was lies, obviously, who just brags about that shit u know? I just rolled with it, didnt take it seriously, and found the imagined scenarios interesting to listen to. So much of it was obviously played up to make him seem cooler, and I shouldve seen that as the red flag it was, and all my friends did but I didnt. 

He had a serious alcohol problem, I mean I had coffee in the morning and he had 2 four lokos before noon. it was bad. about 6 months into the relationship he decided i was cheating on him with my ex who i had recently reconnected with, we missed being friends and things were really going well talking and being friends again, he was really important to me! but my boyfriend saw this as yet another thing i was doing wrong. when he decided i was cheating, that become his focus of alcoholic rage. nearly every time he got drunk, which was several times a week, he would accuse me of things, he would yell and scream, he would call me horrible names and make me cry for literal hours, he never hit me but that shouldnt even matter, i was emotionally battered and mentally bruised and everything hurt. he gaslit me into believing i said and did things i never said or did, i admitted to things that were not real, and then i was yelled at for admitting them. i didnt know what to do.

he was threatening my ex too, he would get drunk and say he knew where he lived (he didnt) or he knew what car he drove (he didnt) and explained to me many times that although he had never killed someone, people had been killed before at his command. he said a bullet in the back of my ex’s brain was just a phone call and $500 away. somedays he would tell me he was just going to do it himself, with a hammer, or a kitchen knife, or whatever weapon he could get his hands on during his explanation of how he would do it. my only option was to agree, to say it didnt matter to me what happened to him, i had to pretend my on

/ly concern was him going to jail for the crime, if i showed any sign that i didn’t want my ex murdered, it clearly meant i was cheating on him. 

i pretended to block my ex on social media to get him off my back and it worked a little bit but he still brought it up. and even if he didnt directly mention him, he would always tell me when he was drunk that i was the cause of all his problems, i was why he was so self conscious, i was why he drank so much, i was why he had to work so hard, i was why every single issue he had was happening. logically i knew it was wrong, but i was so conditioned to it by then that i just went with it. i knew that agreeing and apologizing made the fighting end quicker.

things spiraled this past summer. his job needed us to relocate so we moved like 4 states away, away from all my family and friends, and lived in a tiny hotel room for a month. during this time, his drinking was somehow worse. he was drunk literally every night but he was passing out so we didnt fight and i was relieved. i was depressed being stuck in the hotel room all day alone, but thankful i wasnt being abused at least. then he started getting into drunken fistfights with his coworkers in the hotel parking lot. one day he came home just in time to find one of his drunk coworkers trying to break into the room with me there desperately trying to keep him out. i was terrified and wanted to go home but he convinced me to stay. a couple weeks after that we travelled for his work again several more states away. his drinking got a little bit better here, but i was so depressed and lonely, i was so isolated, he was all i saw day in and day out besides his coworkers and i was nervous around them. one day the guy who tried to break in on me, purposefully, while drunk, hit another coworkers car and totaled it and tried to run the guy over and i saw the whole thing. a week later my boyfriend was also fired because he got so drunk he passed out in the hotel parking lot and the company needed to save face with the hotel after the whole car incident. 

so we travelled back home, but not my home, to his where we lived isolated on a mountain with no phone signal or wifi. the house was old and not well kept from being empty for several years, half the appliances didnt work. i was more isolated than i have ever been in my life. for 4 months i stayed there and just dreaded him coming home because i knew he would be drunk again and he'd yell or accuse me of things or otherwise belittle me. it was horrible. my friends all said to leave and my parents said to leave but i was so brainwashed into thinking that if i was just a good little housewife and if i just stayed home and did the dishes and the laundry that he would be nicer but he still found things to point at and say i was cheating. he was also becoming really controlling about my food intake and weight and i already struggle with an eating disorder so that just made me feel even more like i had to stay, my brain felt like if i wasnt under his watchful eye id gain weight again, like somehow it was thanks to him i had lost weight and not my own choices.

one day last week i expressed to him wanting to leave, saying how unhappy i was, i told him how sad i felt and how i didnt think we were such a good match. he didnt take me seriously, so the next day when he got sloppy drunk before 5 pm i packed a small bag and went to my moms. i was just gonna stay for a night or two but he called and screamed at me for leaving without telling him, i told him he just didnt remember me telling him because he was so drunk, and he accused me of not caring about his feelings and made me sound like the bad guy for leaving without his permission. i told him it was just for a few days but the angrier he got the more i knew i was in the right and told him i was done. i told him we were breaking up and id come get my stuff soon.

i got my stuff while he was at work this past weekend and moved in with my best friend. im safe and happy now. things are looking so much better for me and im so thankful to my friends and family who supported me all the way to the end.

i just wanted to make this post because, i know its not mcelroy related, and a lot of ppl probably dont care for stuff like this on this kind of blog, but i think its important.

its important to friends and family of people in abusive relationships to be steady. dont give up your ground. even if the person keeps pushing back and wont leave the person, keep being there for them, it can take a long time, it took me almost 2 years to leave, it takes some people even longer, but just stay there for them and be there for them when they finally make that step. dont give up on them.

and to those who have been in these kinds of relationships, and especially those who are there right now: it is not your fault. it is so, so hard to leave, i know, but please try to find help and support and resources to do it. if all your friends dont like someone, theres a good reason for it. please dont fall into the trap of thinking your friends dont have the best intentions for you. there are so many things you may overlook in the moment that others can see from a mile away are horrible. especially if you have been abused in the past. its incredibly hard to tell what is a red flag when your gut instinct is that anything and everything is a red flag. surround yourself with people who you can trust and listen to them

and trust me, i know how hard it is when youre stuck in that spot of KNOWING you should go but fearing that first step away. its scary. its difficult. but it is worth it. find someone safe you can be with. and if you arent sure, find a reason to leave for just a few days, an excuse, anything. give yourself space from the abuser, tell yourself youre going back in a couple days, just get out from under the thumb long enough to clear your head and things will make more sense with the fog lifted.

when i first got in my car and put my kitten on my lap and told her we were going to my moms for a couple nights, i didnt know if that was the truth. i planned to come back and i knew i didnt want to. i only took enough stuff for a couple days. i couldnt imagine my life changing so drastically. where would i live? how would i make money? who take care of me? i had no clue about any of those things. but after a couple days away I realized i would take care of me. i remembered that i had worked jobs before i was with him, i could do it again. i remembered that i had options of where to live. all of those things were so clouded when i was with him, they felt like impossibilities. once i was away, even just for a short time, things were so much easier to parse.

and i know i had many privileges in this journey not everyone is afforded, and my heart goes out to those who read this and are in this situation and the options i had just arent accessible to you, i am so sorry, i wish i had something more to offer you but all i have is my story, and a wish that it gives you some hope at the very least, and a promise that if you need someone to talk to, im here, i will listen, and you will be heard and loved.

i just want everyone who reads to take something small but important away from it. love your friends, love yourself. please stay safe. please dont give up. remember love should not hurt.

#angus.txt #getting deep in here but it felt good to write #i love u all so much ok pls be good urselves

[vixxxenly]

I like how these boys are acting like they didn't just get broken up with/break up with their SOs, “oh we’ve been better” tf, ur BROKEN UP just say that?? I get it’s a CW show and you’ll be together again in an episode but forreal

lol healthcare is even an issue in Riverdale shocker

“for my best girl” adorbs

“we’re still friends” “isn’t everyone” lmaoo petty betty

FP Jones’s “BOY” i’m living for it

“get to school” *goes to a school that is definitely not his school*

plz give me an ep where B & V get couples massages

love this Reggie/Ronnie dynamic bc of the comics tbh gimme more

lol i’m living for all of these salt ass looks from jug and ronnie when betty opens her gift, let these babies be salty together 

awe jug was waiting for her 

they are so soft spoken with each other this scene ugh

that fuckin dorky ass smile uggghghh

“why arent you in school” THANK YOU GOOD LORD

can the writers make up their mind about how they wanna portray the serpents orrr what

betty’s makeup looks gr8 this episode

...now lets work on her wardrobe, ear muffs omg

SPIFFANYS

alice fuckin cooper has holiday themed nails

yeah that secret santa font is totally not ominous or anything

yikes @ FP literally being like yah u shouldn’t live here anymore

“i split with betty because of the serpents” FP’s like BITCH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A YOU PROBLEM

“we have to take out penny” jug are you even hearing yourself

also, isn’t penny technically a serpent... how is this whole, her forcing other serpents to run for her thing even going down if serpents never “stand alone”... this whole gang dynamic really doesn't make any sense none of these writers were ever in a gang what is the point

hiram in that coat wow zaddy

why tell penny where you dragged her to..?

who is this jughead bc i dont know her

like @ the writers you really ganna make soft boy jughead jones SKIN A BITCH in S2??? do you read your own scripts....or we just ganna let all of this dissolve into OOC fanfic.

why do these hoes suddenly think they’re ganna end the black hood tonight...? like...where was this established....

okay, that kiss? tragic. 

it was such a small blip on the entire episode, like i’m on the commercial after it and i already forgot about it

there was no...build up to that even...? the dialogue: poor. the look on both their faces after: yikes. the chemistry: non existent.

i’m not one to shit on another ship (unless it’s toxic, which i don’t think barchie is honestly, i just definitely view it more platonically) but i feel bad that that’s what barchies got and have been waiting so long for. like damn that’s some disappointing shit, and i heavily ship couples that haven’t even kissed each other lmao

also they didn’t...even...talk about it...question mark

"okay veronica we’ll tell you” *cuts scene* “okay so now you know everything” ....yall testing me

DADDYKINS EW NO

this episode is paced so poorly good lord i cannot get into it (my thought during the rushing to the devil’s hand scene)

okay mister serious serial killer you’re really ganna tell your victim to pick up something they can easily use as a weapon against you. bitch a real psycho would have been like, “use your fuckin hands and bury your stupid friend alive i’ll sit here all night hoe”

u know KJ’s klutzy ass definitely slipped on that bridge on his own and they were like fuck it just use this take

okay.. so.. i hope the writers know that no one in their audience believes for a fuckin second that the janitor is the BH

like if they wanted that to be convincing and then pull a twist on who the real BH is later...they did not do this well

the gifts are so sweet ugh - for my beloved, fuck me up

“ya wanna stop by betty’s” “uhh no..” “BOY” - FP Jones probably

i did enjoy the varchie reunion

so, more general episode thoughts:

i’m so sick of these episodes being almost totally separate narratives from each other. the pacing is so awful this season, we have zero development for side characters (or screen time even), the main characters themselves barely have a moment to breath and be actual characters on this show with how the pacing has been... just... stop. yall got 22 episodes (god knows why), USE THEM

the barchie kiss scene was actually not infuriating, so that’s nice i guess (like i said, still feel bad for barchie shippers tbh). I am slightly annoyed they had betty initiate it though, considering it was archie that was all, “oh i always thought...” and whatever last season and he’s the one that really drove that window staring scene home. but oh well. also...they really just not having betty and archie talk about it that ep...what

#riverdale #riverdale lb #bughead #varchie #riverdale season 2 #this episode was somehow worse and less entertaining to me than last episode lol

[lcwson-blog]

[zoey 101 vc] are you ready? ngl to ya’ll i’m jamming to she-wolf by shakira while i write this. anYWAY. greetings my loves, i’m rachel/rach tbh whatever you wanna call me. i’m twenty n come from the worst timezone aka gmt+1. i’ll be playing this shitbag right here known as devon —- and if you’d like to get to know a little more about her ( believe me you don’t tbh ) feel free to read below the cut !!

MARIE AVGEROPOULOS, TWENTY-TWO, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER — meet DEVON LAWSON, the quarters very own ONE OF THE FIVE/HUNTER. don’t be fooled by their  RESOLUTE and  AUDACIOUS. they can be OBSTINATE and DETACHED too. hey, do you hear CONTROL by HALSEY playing?

TW: MENTION OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE/MANIPULATION, MURDER.

devon, impersonating halsey, probably: do u call urself a fken hurricane lyk me

this is already a mess i apologize. 

okay okay so  —— devon’s father was also a hunter, not one of the five, but a really successful hunter nonetheless. the whole ‘hunter’ occupation is kind of a lawson family thing, tbh probably like the argent’s.

despite the fact alexander lawson had prayed for a son; on a cold winter’s night devon was born  — — his prayers completely forgotten the moment her bright green eyes peered up at him. suddenly, he was glad to have her. 

alexander’s original wishes for a son were with the idea that he would be the one to carry on their family legacy, that he would be the next deadly hunter. 

however, something he never expected was to find that in his daughter. 

devon grew up listening to the tales her father had to tell; spending hours upon hours listening to the stories of the ‘bad creatures’ alexander was so brave and heroic to rid the world of. it was safe to say that he was her hero, and the older she got the more she was eager to be just like him. 

by the time she hit her teens, devon was already long into a routine — —  school almost taking second place to training. something that while it bothered her mother, her father couldn’t care less for; after all, he was too busy crafting the perfect little solider, his weapon that he was getting ready to set loose. 

basically, papa lawson spent pretty much the entirety of her life ( and still to this day ) drilling into her head that the supernatural are bad, that there is no place in this world for them and it’s her job to eliminate them all. it’s come to the point devon doesn’t have her own opinion anymore, everything she thinks is because her father told her to think that way — —  she pretty much functions like a robot, an emotionless solider

ya’ll like, her dad is highkey so damn twisted. basically, mama lawson started to become concerned about devon and the extent her training was going to and the fact it seemed to be all she cared about , and while she never would’ve spoken out to against her husband before she suddenly found her voice. 

upon expressing how she felt, alexander simply informed her that if she didn’t like how he was raising his daughter, she could leave. during an argument that fueled from that exact statement, marie gave her husband an ultimatum — —  either he allows and encourages their daughter to have a normal life, to stop brainwashing her; or she takes devon and leaves.

the thought of losing not his DAUGHTER   — —  but his SOLIDER in training is what made alexander do the unforgivable. making a deal with the devil and causing his wife her life at the hands of one of the very creatures he was brainwashing devon to hunt. extra?? he’s exactly that. 

it was an opportunity in his eyes, playing innocent as though he had no part in her murder alexander led devon to believe that her mother was murdered for no reason, throwing fuel to an already burning fire in hopes it would encourage her only further to train and be the best of the best.

basically, her dad?? extra asf, total control freak, is 100% manipulating her bUt — —  dev can’t see that because she’s too busy being blinded by thinking he’s literally the greatest thing to walk this planet. highkey hates pretty much all supernatural creatures bc again… brainwashed n also thinks they killed her mom. probs will try fite or kill you at least seven times. idk man she’s just really ?? problematic. also lacks really any empathy or emotion — —  it’s a weakness to her and she’s just all about business. also !! my bb is one of the five. it’s probably the only thing she’s keeping from her father and it’s only because she wasn’t sure it was true at first, considering it’s only ever been male’s chosen. though, upon staking her fair share of vampires, it’s become clear to her it has to be true considering the growth in her tattoo. 

anYWay !! i’m literally the biggest plotting whore in the whole world like. you got an idea you think is super crazy and just ?? legit tell me there’s a 99999.9% chance i’ll be down asf. drama? give me it. angst? ajsdka eVen bETTer. i don’t have any set plots because honestly i’m not that creative rn ?? tho i would possibly like the supernatural person that her dad made a deal w/to murder her mom lmaOO. i’d be up for discussing if dev knows or nah and all those lil details. idk pls just hmu and give me and dev some love. lowkey want this bitch to accidentally get caught up w/a supernatural creature n reconsider everythigng she’s been trained to think give me this fucking mess of angst n shIt FUck.
