#wouldn't you rather read a story where his shadows love his partner?

Friendly reminder that in the same chapter we find out Azriel's shadows keep him company "as they always had, as they always would", we also find out that his shadows sing and dance for Gwyn while "they'd always been prone to vanish" around Elain.
Literally foreshadowing ✨
Also, "his shadows had not warned him" that Gwyn was in the training ring. The other side argues that Gwyn is evil but do you honestly think his shadows wouldn't have warned him about her presence if she was really evil? Oh wait, I know, Azriel is an evil shadowsinger too!
"His shadows peered over his wings at her."
"The young priestess smiled -- and Azriel thought it might have been directed at his curious shadows."
"Her breath curled in front of her mouth, and one of his shadows darted out to dance with it before twirling back to him."
"Even his shadows had calmed. As if content to lounge on his shoulders and watch."
"Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer."
If you take these quotes and show it to any random person, I guarantee you nine out of ten of them (the one in the ten is an Elriel lol) will agree that his shadows like Gwyn or, at the very least, definitely do not think she's going to harm Azriel. Regardless, the wording implies that his shadows do not see Gwyn as a dangerous threat at all.
For instance, SJM could have easily changed "curious shadows" to "cautious shadows" and we would know his shadows are wary of her. BUT SHE DIDN'T. Instead, curiosity implies a degree of interest. In one chapter, his shadows show more chemistry and interest in Gwyn than Azriel and Elain ever had in "four books of build-up".
Btw, I've said it before and I will say it again:
When a side character introduced in the latest book can threaten supposedly "four books of build-up" is how you know there actually isn't any "four books of build-up".

Rook JP Cappelletty Fanfiction
Love the way you lie
Okay, I'll give you a summary. Basically Rook has been in a toxic relationship with a girl for six months now. Colson and the boys have noticed and are trying to get him out of it. These fics are an English translation of my fics in Wattpad. If you like them I have some more focused mostly on Rook. I accept suggestions uwu
Tumblr media
Rook has been in a toxic relationship for over six months, and Colson knows it. At this point he doesn't know what to do, he has seen his best friend get slowly destroyed by the girl he is with. He started out with just dark circles, bags under his eyes that made it clear that he was not sleeping well, or nothing at all. He later found out for himself that Rook's girlfriend kicked him out of his own home in the middle of the night because of jealousy. She let him sleep in the garden even when it was raining. That had led to Jp spending more time sick than healthy. Him suffocating in the middle of playing a song because he was so sick that he couldn't even breathe normally. With coughing fits that made he looks like he would choke. They had all told him to come home and rest. He had insisted on staying. Kells didn't understand why and over time he understood that he would rather be away from home than be with her. So ... why didn't he leave her? For some reason he didn't dare to ask him and just tried to help him from the distance, thinking that he shouldn't get into it, that he would do better for his best friend if he didn't get in straight. He couldn't be more wrong.
Then one day he had to pick up Rook from a park in the middle of Cleveland at three in the morning and take him to the hospital. He said that a drunk man had thrown a bottle at him and that he had been unable to dodge it. Colson knew he was lying. He knew that it had been his girlfriend. He didn't say anything and just drove, took him to the hospital and waited patiently. They had to suture a wound that covered his left temple up to his eyebrow and he lost 30% of his vision in that eye. Then, back in the car, he burst into tears. Kells didn't know what to do, he couldn't just sit back and watch that harpy tear his little brother apart. But he didn't know how to get into that problem without causing more damage.
Rook stayed that night to sleep at his house. Colson did not sleep. He watched him while he slept. Somewhat creepy but he just couldn't stop looking at him because it seemed like it was the first time he slept in a long time. He felt guilty, because he was just standing there and watching him burn.
After that night he began to see Jp less often and when he saw him he did not look like himself. He looked like the most tired person on this earth and looking into his eyes was almost painful. Colson had never seen such sad eyes. It hurt, it hurt because Rook, his Rookie was the happiest, most active and jovial person he had ever met and at this point he was not a shadow of who he really was.
Everyone had already noticed. They had talked about his girl, how sad and destroyed he looked. Baze had told them that he had heard his girlfriend yell at him for spending more time with them than with her. Tell him that he didn't love her and that he was a bad boyfriend, that he was mistreating her and that he didn't deserve someone like her. Rook had simply apologized, he had promised her that he loved her and that he would do anything for her. Rook definitely didn't deserve someone like her. That girl was a witch. (cof cof Bitch cof cof)
However none of them did anything. They stood there, watching him burn.
The few times they saw Jp he was completely different. He cried with songs and with movies and at that point none of them dared to laugh because they simply knew that crying had nothing to do with the movie. They tried to comfort him but none of them really got in, to stop what was happening in front of their eyes. Colson dared to ask about their relationship shortly after Rook passed out from exhaustion in the middle of a hangout. But he didn't get to ask beyond "How are you doing with her?" or How's your relationship? " and his drummer always answered a " good " that sounded as harsh and bitter as a stab.
Then Rook started arriving with injuries. He started with a pair of broken fingers and he said the wind had closed a door on his hand. Just a few weeks later his nose was broken and he said a book had fallen on his face. He forced a laugh and said "trouble of being short." And within a month he had a black eye, the same one that he had lost part of his vision of. And this time he said that he had accidentally opened one of his kitchen cabinets on his face. The boys looked at him, none of them believed it and they all knew that it had been his girlfriend who had closed the door in his hand, who had thrown that book against his face and who had hit him by opening one of his cabinets uncarelessly out because of her jealousy.
The situation was getting more and more difficult. Now in the sixth month, Rook had just had his fourth anxiety attack in their short time in this month. Slim had gone with him for a walk when his breathing had calmed and he had stopped shaking like a frightened dog. Baze and Kells had stayed there, talking about how far this had come. That's when Colson decided that he couldn't just stand there and watch him burn, he walked over to the couch and took Rook's phone, thanking he had left it there and discovering that he didn't even have a password on it. A part of him wanted to believe it was because Rook expected one of them to try to help him, but deep down he knew it was because his girlfriend was checking his conversations and everything he did. Colson discovered under Baze's watchful eyes that Rook, or rather his girlfriend, had deleted all the female contacts from his phone, even Casie's was not there. What kind of upset jealous was that girl? Finally he reached the WhatsApp messages and there, the first on the list was her. Kells began to read the messages aloud.
- Where are you? - It's her two days ago. - Kells house, recording. - Rook's answer. - You prefer them to me. - She adds. - I've only been away from home for three hours- Rook answers. - You don't take care of me like before, you don't even call me queen like you did before, why don't you love me anymore? What did I do? You are always with your friends and you are no longer with me - Colson continues to read her messages. - I love you more than anything, honey. But I really have to record - Jp responds. - It's a lie, you're so mean to me, I hate you so much! - They are pure written messages, but Colson knows that Rook is blaming himself for that. - My sunshine, no. I love you, I love you very much. I'll be back in an hour I promise. I'll make you dinner and we can watch a movie together. Whatever you want ... - Rook is too good for that girl. She doesn't reply anymore until yesterday. There is a similar conversation that lasts to this day. Now there are a lot of messages from her that Jp hasn't even answered, possibly because they are from when his anxiety attack started. Yet there they are - Jp Where are you? Did you change me again for your stupid friends? You prefer them ... You are horrible ... You don't deserve me ... - She starts and Colson and Baze want to hit her even though they would never hit a girl. - Answer me! Are you with another girl? Is that? I hope you die! I hate you! Do you want me to end my life? You know I can't live without you! I told you! You will make me kill myself! I'll kill myself if you let me! - The messages end there. Now everything makes sense. Now they know why Rook wouldn't let her. She threatened to kill herself. Possibly that girl was so crazy that she was capable of doing it just to fuck the crap out of the boy. Baze and Colson are feeling sick. They know they have to do something, because at this rate it is she who will kill Rook.
- We have to report this - Baze begins. Colson knows that he is right. - She is hurting him, physically and emotionally. That is full-blown abuse. - Baze adds. And yes, he is right. But it is quite difficult to assimilate that one of them is in a toxic relationship of that caliber. More Rook, the good and pure boy Rookie. -We only have the messages, how can we show them how fat this is? -Colson knows how bad the police work, no one will believe them if they say that a girl is mistreating her boyfriend. They will think the opposite is the true and could get Jp in trouble. - I have photos of injuries from the last few months. Well, Instagram stories, but I think it will work. Also, they just need to see him, he is clearly emotionally devastated. - Baze adds and nothing more is needed to convince Kells, they both wrap up warm and send a message to Slim telling him what they have discovered and that they will report. They asked him to keep Rook out of the house until they return because they know he will not want to report his situation. Slim responds quickly, wishes them luck, and finally the boys leave. They drive in Baze's car to the nearest police station and wait until they are attended. It is a bit difficult to explain the whole situation to the agent, why they have the phone of his friend and since when he has been going through all this. But when they say the girl's name, the policeman's face changes. Apparently it was not the first complaint that they received about her for abusing her partner physically and emotionally. But there had never been enough evidence and everything had been up in the air. But now, this was the fifth report to her name and they had clear evidence of psychological and physical abuse. The agent promised them that they would send a patrol to arrest the girl and that she would be temporarily detained as alleged guilty of domestic violence on charges of physical abuse and emotional abuse. That didn't sound like a total victory, but the agent promised them that justice would be served, but by law they had to investigate a little more, that they would need to speak with Rook and take testimony from the neighbors.
Kells and Baze returned home, informing Slim of what had happened. Slim and Jp arrived shortly after they entered the house. Colson handed the phone to his drummer and the brown haired boy looked at him confused. -You don't have to go back to her, it's over ...- It was Slim who said that. Rook looked at them all, a hint of fear on his face that vanished when Baze gaves him a comforting smile. Then he burst into tears, Colson hugged him first and then everyone joined the hug. -I thought it would never end ... I was so tired of her shit ...- Jp starts crying, but he's smiling. - Fuck ... thanks ... - Rook ends. At least it's good to know that he himself had realized the toxicity of his relationship.
Ah well it's over XD. If I'm honest this occurred to me listening to Eminem and Rihanna's song "Love the way you lie" but it is quite based on what happened between Jhonny Depp and Amber Heard and also on the post that Melissa Benoist made about her relationship with Blake Jenner. I guess you all know about Johnny. As I know that Melissa's case is less known, I will explain a little, although you can look for her post with the full story of what happened. Basically she was married to Blake (she is now divorced and recently had a son with Chris Wood, with whom she has been in a relationship for a while) the fact is that she had a toxic relationship with Blake and he abused her physically and emotionally. One of the most serious things he did to her was smash a phone in her face. She lost part of the vision in that eye and now has a mark on her iris and pupil, although she had always said that she was from birth until she recognized everything that happened not long ago. Well, the point is that I relied on these two relationships to write this. I mean I wrote this out of respect for these people and for everyone who is or has been in toxic relationships. I've been to one myself. Well that's it. Thanks for reading and don't get into relationships with shitty people. Bye!
Pd: English is not my native language, I have a good level, but you may write something wrong. I apologize if there is anything wrong.

Always positive/Always negative
Now these are two prompt which are the opposites of each other.
For both of them we need:
the miraculous ladybug universe
Gabe having character development
a certain girl called Diana Luna
Now for the first one!
Always positive starts shortly after chameleon.
So Lila is back, has everyone wrapped around her finger except for Marinette and Adrien, they're still in their two love squares, and the heroes all got their miraculous.
Now this is where Diana comes in.
Her family moved to Paris a few days ago, and now she's going to attend the same school as the Miracuclass. She's even gonna be in it.
Now Diana is a special girl. She's always positive. Meaning she can't feel any negative emotion at all.
She learned to identify when she would have those feelings though, as for when she'd doubt something, there'd be a lack of trust.
So when she enters the class, first she introduced herself.
It goes a little bit like this:
"Hey everybody, I'm Diana Luna. Me and my dads moved here a week ago and now I'm gonna be in your class. I really enjoy reading, singing and drawing. Oh, and a quick note, I can't feel any negative emotions. However I notice when I should. I hope you'll accept that. If you don't believe me, then don't. If you do, THANKS A LOT! Yeah, that's it. I hope at least some of you believe me, and that those few will end up my friends!"
And that got a lot of different reactions.
Adrien, with his heart of gold, would of course believe her, and maybe be like hey, one person I don't have to save.
Marinette would be like wait should I pity her or not. Wait she probably doesn't want me to pity her. Wait can she even not want something- (more internal spiraling)
Lila would be like she should be an easy target if what she says is true. She can't feel doubt after all.
To only name those three.
So of course, as it is the only free seat, Diana goes to sit next to Lila. Who of course wants to start one of her stories, but Diana is like "can we talk later? I wouldn't want to miss out on my first lesson, ok? Thanks!" And Lila is just so confused about this new girl that she in fact DOES stop.
After the lesson of course, she'll try her stories, maybe I'll write something short for that.
--------
Now you will realize that when they actually want to, Gabriel can be smart.
And he actually is this time too.
--------
(after miracle queen, and after gang of secrets)
Nadja:Don't be bemused, it's just the news. It looks like Shadow Moth has taken on an even newer form! Yes, I'm being told that .......... Scarlet Shadow has made an announcement!
If anyone was able to resist negative emotions when facing all of his sentimonsters and the akumas he send out, he would surrender the butterfly and the peacock miraculous to them.
However, if the heroes weren’t able to find a person, they had to give him theirs.
They get multiple tries, but once started, they only have 24 hours until they have to give up if they don’t succeed.
If you think you could do it, please call us immediately.
So far the list of sighted sentimonsters are guilt, the giant lollipop monster and Ladybug.
The akumas are Animaestro, Gamer 2.0, Copycat, Sandboy, Dark Cupid, Horrificator, Reverser, Silencer, Reflekta, Lies and Truth.
--------------
LoL I actually made the picture for this
Tumblr media
ANYway......
-------------
Of course Marinette and Adrien immediately think of Diana. But they're both not sure if she's able to do it.
I mean, they could just try to defeat all of the akumas, even taking on a fake Luka or someone copying him, cause he's akumatized two times, but only a few people know that.
But she's the only person they know, so they plan on asking her, but they think they have to figure out a way to convince their partner to trust her.
Meanwhile Nadja gets akumatized once again.
Then Diana calls the studio and she picks up, but since she still sound like Nadja, and it's over the phone, she doesn't notice it's not her.
So now Hawkmoth knows there is a candidate.
That's why he sends Copycat and Sentibug there.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I'll finish this tomorrow, now I REALLY wanna talk about the other one, cause it's a little bit longer.
------------
So now for the second one:
So this one start shortly before miracle queen.
And it's not really a happy beginning.
........
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
Why did she do that?
If she wants the others so badly to see a happy mother and daughter, why can't we at least try to be that?
Why?
Why so hard?
It hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
It hu-
............
Marinette comes out of Fu's massage shop when she sees her.
Lying on the floor, bruises everywhere you can see. Shivering. Outside with only her PJs on, in the pouring rain. Curled up.
She immediately knocks at his door again and they get her inside.
.............
Warmth. That's the first thing she felt when she woke up. When she opened up her eyes, she saw a girl, looking worriedly at her.
----
So Diana woke up in Fu's shop. Of course she's scared at first, but she quickly opens up to them, since they're kind to her.
Now the thing with THIS Diana is that she can't feel positive emotions. But she is able to feel the lack of them, and she can control them pretty well, since she delt with them her whole life.
Sooooooo........……..………………………………...........
What's the deal with her mother?
She's just a big asshole. She wants everyone to believe they're a happy family. She started beating her husband after they got married because he said they should talk about their problems rather than ignoring them.
Like their child not being able to feel positive emotions.
But she didn't want to hear it. He left them soon after Diana turned 6. Whick made it harder for her mother to keep up the image. But miraculously, she managed. (Pun not intended)
So, since she couldn't beat him anymore, she started beating her daughter.
At the beginning it didn't hurt that much. Maybe she still had a fragment of a moral code left inside her or something and didn't want to beat a child.
But it got worse after Diana turned 10. Because she couldn't be homeschooled forever.
So whenever her mother found out that someone knew they weren't always happy, she punished Diana for not being a convincing actor. Which means she hit her.
But the problem is that these other children don't forget like this. And of course they talk to their parents.
So one day when everyone is having cake, on of the mothers asks about it, not expecting there to really be anything. But then a father says his child said something similar too. Another mother says her twins noticed something too.
And with that, the illusion breaks.
Diana runs out of the room crying.
Later her mother beats her up again and again and again. When she thinks Diana is unconscious, she takes a break and tries to fix everything with her friends. That's the moment Diana escapes.
She can barely walk, she's cold, but she just wants to get away from that monster. She wouldn't even care if she was akumatized now probably. This can't get any worse.
And that's where I started.
------
From here on, it'll get better, and even a little bit funnier.
Now being a teenager, and her mother not being around to 'keep her in check', her emotions grow bigger and louder.
One day when Hawkmoth opens his window to look for a victim, all he senses is the burning anger of a 14-year-old..... Normally a perfect victim. But OH BOI is he wrong.
Punisher, I am Hawkmothe. You have been-
Oh shut up and get out.
Then she throws away the bracelet the akuma entered.
This happens often, because her emotions are just always there. She's sorta blocking his radar.
She doesn't WANT to try to reduce the negative emotions. She's finally NOT suppressing them but letting them out. And she doesn't need a f*cking akuma for that.
----------
Now Gabriel isn't dumb. Well sometimes he is, especially with twelve specific akumas. But not in this story. Oh no.
----------
"I don't know what to do Nathalie, she's blocking my view, I can't sense anything."
"What exactly is the reason you can't akumatize her?"
"She keeps throwing away that bracelet of hers the butterfly always enters."
"Then I suggest finding out what is her problem and feeding into it so she won't be able to refuse your offer...."
"Yes........ Thank you, Nathalie."
------
No, I won't tell you, now GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
------
Didn't you listen? I
------
SAID
------
I WON'T
------
TELL YOU!!!!
----------
This isn't working, I need to try something different..............
Ok, one more try......
Punisher, I am-
Don't. Even. Think. About it. Hawkface.
Ok, ok, I won't, but your blocking my radar, could you please calm down?
So you don't want to push me into akumatization?
Well I'd want to but it doesn't work. So I-
Are you siriously singing right now?
What, you said I should calm down. Singing helps me calm down.
-------------------------------------------------
See you tomorrow!
