Hold The Line by Avicii - in Mando'a
I'm still on my bullshit!
I found this song, uh, yesterday? And I've been listening to it on repeat ever since, and it just gives me such clones vibes that I spent the entire afternoon today translating it. I used a new dictionary (many thanks to @johamur for the links!) which made translating it significantly easier than the one I was using before, although since Mando'a has no word for surrender, I did have to get, uh, extremely creative with my meanings in the second verse XD I also reversed one line because it just... didn't make sense for the clones otherwise.
As always, any advice, feedback, and general linguistics flailing is more than welcome! (Though, please be gentle, I haven't gone over this as much as I should have, since I finished it in... three hours?)
Here's the song:
Ke'tayli Briik (Hold the Line)
Tracy'uur bal kad (Blaster and sword) Carud o'r prudiise (Smoke in the shadows) Gar ven dargana* (You will lose) Gar kovid bar kyrbej (Your head on the battlefield)
Gar eku bat gar (You choke on your) Kar'ta o'r gar uram (Heart in your throat) Gar aala sa (You feel like) Digu enteyo akaanir (You forget you've gotta fight)
Mhi nu lise trattok'or (We can't collapse) Mhi ven draar shuku (We will never break)
Ash'amur evaar'la (Dying young) Mhi tayli cuun kovide (We keep our heads) Mhi tal'onidi (We go the extra mile) Narir cuyanir (Trying to survive)
Kar'am o'r haalas (The breath in your chest) Dralshya gar or'trikar (Is stronger than your grief)
Vaab ra ash'am (Do or die) Al mhi oyayc (But we're alive) Vaal mhi olar (While we're here) Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
Naas darganar* (Nothing to lose) Bic gar kyr'yc akaan (It's your last fight) Ke'burujai (Sound the alarm) Shi parjai ra kyr'am (Only victory or death)
Nu partayli (No remembrance) Nu parjir kote al (No winning glory but) Tran* yaimpa (The sun returns) Sha kyr be ca (At the end of the night)
Mhi nu lise trattok'or (We can't collapse) Mhi ven draar shuku (We will never break)
Ash'amur evaar'la (Dying young) Mhi tayli cuun kovide (We keep our heads) Mhi tal'onidi (We go the extra mile) Narir cuyanir (Trying to survive)
Kar'am o'r haalas (The breath in your chest) Dralshya gar or'trikar (Is stronger than your grief)
Vaab ra ash'am (Do or die) Al mhi oyayc (But we're alive) Vaal mhi olar (While we're here) Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
Ash'amur evaar'la (Dying young) Mhi tal'onidi (We go the extra mile) Ash'amur evaar'la (Dying young) Ke'tayli briik! (Hold the line!)
[*darganar = dar (no longer) + ganar (to have, to possess)] [*tran = tranyc (sunny) - yc (adjective suffix)]

About Miguel taking the place of Gabriella's father -
BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE MILD MIGUEL -
Tumblr media
I know we say ooooohhhh Miguel is a psychopath, he's evil for taking her dads place. that's so creepy
and yeah, it is creepy. horror movie shit
But Question:
If you saw a child, a child belonging to another you, going through a deep pain, alone. Wouldn't you step in?
If you knew that a child was about to experience a traumatic event - and you were the only person in the universe with the ability to help.
Would you? Like you, personally. Or would you turn the other way and let fate take it's course?
Would you even have the strength to do that?
When Gwen lost her father in front of Jess, Jess felt like someone had to step in. WE felt like someone had to step in.
When Gabriella lost her father in front of Miguel - wouldn't he feel it too? Wouldn't you?
He did. He stepped in. And he tried to change it. And he killed her.
When Miguel and Jess are both faced with a young girl, on the verse of losing her father in an abrupt and traumatic way, they probably both thought the same -
'Someone has to do something. I have to do something.'
So with that in mind - can we imagine that Miguel felt that same way when looking at Gabriella? A girl who just lost her father abruptly? In a violent, permanent way?
Looking at her father and knowing that...eventually - Gabby is going to know something is wrong. Her father isn't coming home. And very soon - she's going to start getting scared.
Knowing that from this day forward her life will chance in a very big and very painful way.
Or it couldn't.
Tumblr media
Or, he could step in. Or, he could head 'home'. He can tuck Gabby in like nothing happened. She could go on like she lived everyday - normal, happy, safe, and with a dad that loves her. Nothing has to change. No funeral. No death anniversaries. No empty space. All he has to do is step in. Or, he can look the other way and let fate take it's course. And let Gabriella end up wherever the universe decides.
What would you do? Can you even decide that?
Look, Do I think what Miguel did was right - taking her father's place? I don't know. Does it matter? Either way - Gabriella suffered.
But do I think Miguel is a psychopath? Do I think he was obsessed, and scheming? No. I don't at all. I think he, like Jess, saw a kid in need. I think he's normal. He's Just Miguel. I think he was monitoring the universe for other Miguels, the same way they monitor all universes for anomalies or recruits. And when Lyla told him about the death - about Gabby - he was faced with a very hard decision -
I don't believe Miguel - at his baseline - is an intentionally malicious person. In any capacity.
I think he's a dude, like Jess - who saw a little girl in need. And now he's in way too deep, and people are dying, and he doesn't know how to stop it no matter how hard he tries and everything he does seems to make it even worse
And when he's trying - when he pulling out all the stops, finding all the best, watching universes day & night - nothing helps. Anomalies keep happening.
Even after all that, after making a whole society - he can't stop it. People are still dying.
And the moment he realizes this - the moment Miles breaks free and escapes. He realized once again - the universe is in control. He was never going to fix it. He never could.
All the efforts he put into The Society can't stop Spot - and they can't stop Miles.
And now, because Miguel isn't good enough to catch him, people are going to die, on his watch AGAIN.
Or..at least that's how Miguel sees it.
Miguel didn't sign up for this. He didn't sign up to be a boss holding all of existence together with duct tape and silly string.
He signed up to be a dad. He just wanted to help a little girl.
And now people are dying, Gabriellas dead, People's universes are on the edge of collapse, and now Miles is coming into play, and he's gonna lose HIS dad and Hobie's finally gone AWOL knowing it was gonna come eventually -
And Yes, he snapped. (lol not in the cvnty way)
Between those moments he went from this -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To this. The emotional deterioration is sudden. Everyone around him is stunned he's capable of this.
Does Miguel even know he's capable of this?
I don't know.
I just know this is us seeing a Miguel with reasoning - and a Miguel without it. A Miguel who is being conscious about what he's doing and the words he's picking, to a Miguel running on pure rage and fury and desperation alone.
There's no planning here. There's no stopping to think. He can't and he won't. He wants everyone in the field now.
This is Miguel not being normal. And he got to this point -
All because he wanted to help a little girl. The same way we wanted to help Gwen.
I don't think Miguel's story is about an unhinged man using trauma as an excuse to rule with an iron fist.
I don't think that's what this is. Miguel's story is the same as Jess story is the same as Peter's story.
He wanted to help this kid who needed him. And it backfired.
I think Miguel's story is a reminder that sometimes our help can hurt.
And I think his story is a reminder that Yes, even normal people can reach Miguel's level of rage.
Even normal people can be pushed to the point total powerlessness, of feeling like everything you do makes everything worse. To total desperation - just to make anything better some way, some how. To just get any sense of control back when you're on a ride you didn't ask for and can't get off of.
No - I don't think anybody would go mauling children, but I do think there is a point where it does get to much. When literally nothing in the universe is going how you want it to, and you're angry. At it, and everyone in it, anyone that goes along with it-
Anybody can snap.
At this point..I'm not trying to justify what he did - I never was.
I guess I'm just saying I admire Miguel and his character depth for making a very difficult choice. And I hope Gabriella enjoyed the time she had left with Miguel.
Not because he deserved it.
Because she didn't deserve anything that happened to her. She deserved a loving and happy dad. And I hope that's what he gave her. I hope she didn't have to know about all this terrible shit, or why her dad had to wear that watch ALL THE TIME now.
I hope Miguel did what he came to do in the time he had to do it and everything else sucks.
But back to the question.
You see a scared child about to lose their parents. Do you help them?
If that child was technically your child, if they looked like you and laughed like you, - if you knew no one else in the universe could make this better BUT YOU - would you help them? Or no? No judgement, I'm just curious. Because honestly...I don't know what I'd do. At the very least, I don't think Miguel malicious. I don't think he was scheming. In fact, maybe he didn't even think twice.
Who knows.
But looking back, I think everything - everything we see happen in ATSV - was solidified the moment he stepped into Gabriella's world. I don't think there was ever really a point where Miguel would be allowed to say 'I'm in over my head and I need out.'
He was never going to fix it. He never could. We know it. Maybe he knows it too.
But that doesn't mean he can stop trying.
Miguel was never gonna fix it. He was always bound to snap.
I guess what I'm saying is I feel bad for Miguel. Shoot me. Call it a brick and a hard place. But also don't maul kids.
I think he's just Miguel. And he's in way too deep, because he wanted to help. Some Mild Miguel. But anyway -
If you were Miguel: Would you have helped Gabriella?
BONUS QUESTION: If you knew you were going to be leaving behind an orphan child- and you knew your other self would love your child like their own and take your place without the kid enduring the pain - would you want them to step in, or no? Would you rather your kid know you're dead, and then let the system and proceedures play out as fate makes it?

This is more or less a speculation, not a theory.
I have read some pretty decent post act 3 Arcane fanfics, yet one thing always bothers me a little bit about them. It is an obvious thing that Viktor will return to Zaun at some point, like this is inevitable. The same goes to his falling out with Jayce. Many people have created some cool scenarios on how it will happen, and i appreciate every single one of them.
With that said, i really cannot imagine Viktor getting banished as an event that starts it all. For a simple reason.
I don't think Viktor would have been bitter about it.
With the way he acts in the last episode of season 1, i believe that he'd think it was deserved. The thing he could be charged for would be an illegal experimentation and the manslaughter of Sky Young. Things he feels so guilty about he tried to off himself. He has very little time left, and if the trial is a necessary procedure, he'd probably accept it. Would he be upset? Of course, but i don't think he would even try to put an effort to avoid it, once people find out. And at the peak of panic in Piltover after Jinx's attack, the whatever the hell is left off the council would try to ensure that there is still at least a renmant of government control. Just like in act 1, that was literally the reason why Enforcers were trying to arrest 4 kids.
If anything, i think it would be Jayce who'd be the most desperate in this situation. "He'd be mad at Viktor for killing an innocent person" he literally did the same thing (if you think about it, Jayce have killed so much more people besides that kid, we just don't discuss it because in the show they are presented as scary monsters, not human beings that got drugged the hell up and now have their entire ripcage obligarated. But y'know, that's the point of this scene). "What about Viktor's illegal experimentation?" What Jayce did with Vi was also kinda illegal? I mean, he is a councilor, he can do whatever the fuck he wants ig, but before hand it was clear that other councilors would not want that to happen.
I imagine that Jayce would do anything in his power to cancel this trial. Viktor is his best friend, person who he has such a close bond to. And while what he did was wrong, he isn't much better. Yet it is Viktor, his dying friend, who is punished.
I can see Viktor actually being like: it's okay Jayce, it needs to happen, i will be okay (he's lying but trying).
So yeah i don't think that Viktor being banished to Zaun would be a death blow to their relationship.
Buuuuut you know what would probably make more sense (at least to me :3)?
Viktor's punishment being working on hextech weapons against Zaun.
Think about it. Jayce in an act of desperation convinces other councilors that as a co-founder of Hextech Viktor would be a viable asset in designing weapons that would "protect" Piltover against Zaun.
Well wouldn't that make Viktor absolutely fucking furious. Viktor may have ****kinda**** accepted his death but making him work AGAINST the city he spend his entire life wishing to improve and protect? Over his dead body, he'd rather be eaten alive by rats in Undercity alleys than do such a thing.
It works for me much better because it keeps Jayce's character much more consistent. Like, it's understandable why would he do it (he doesn't want his friend to die) but also highlights his change in priorities after season 1. Like, he told Silco that Undercity doesn't stand a chance against Piltover, and well, one rocket proved hin wrong. Now there are dead people in Piltover. I think he'd be more radical, more bold, maybe even less forgiving and 100% stressed af.
Does he want to keep Viktor safe? Yes. But does he find building weapons is now necessary when they are at war? Also yes. And considering the "I'M from the Undercity" scene he also tends to forget that Viktor is not, in fact, Piltovan, that as much as he loves Jayce, he does not associate with Piltover society. He is from Zaun, it is an important part of his indentity. Something that Jayce keeps neglecting.
It also doesn't change the fact that he still feels guilty over the death of that ONE child. Not the countless men in chemtanks, that are as much victims of Undercity's terrible state as Viktor is really. I think that when he'd make a decisions "a necessary decisions to keep them saved" he'd think about them, scary, crazy monsters with blades. Not that one kid. Kid feels so much more personal, people who attack them-not.
I'm not saying that is how the conflict in season 2 will look like, nuh-uh, it's just me making some fanfiction prompts lmao.
Anything could happened since them. Viktor trying to sabotage their work which would end up in an explosive and dramatic break up once Jayce finds out? Yep, i can see that. Add some fire and leave Viktor crying on concrete floor, now we have some nice parallels. But i can also see Viktor fucking off right there and there, or other stuff i dunno.
So yeah i have fanfic ideas.

Zolu as Taylor Swift lyrics
"All these people think love's for show, but I would die for you in secret." — peace
This is literally Zoro in Thriller Bark willing to die and keeping it a secret from everybody. I want to throw up. They make me mentally ill.
"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep. Change my priorities. The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury. [...] Is this the end of all the endings? My broken bones are mending with all these nights we're spending. Up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups. Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff. Baby, all at once, this is enough. And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for. King of my heart, body and soul." — King Of My Heart
King Of My Heart is so Zolu coded, not only because of, y'know, Luffy being literally the King of Zoro's heart, but because of the devotion and the feeling that nobody else compares to Luffy. Also, the feeling of young love and possessiveness between them is so good with this song.
"And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you. I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all." — Lover
Zoro is in love with the future king of the pirates. Everybody wants Luffy. Of course Zoro is going to be jealous.
"Wherever you stray I follow. I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man. You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow. [...] Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars." — willow
The devotion. Zoro willing to follow Luffy to hell. Luffy wanting to know Zoro better, deeper. Knowing every detail about his scars and dreams. I'm going insane.
"And if I'm gonna be drunk, might as well be drunk in love. [...] Everyone wants him, that was my crime." — Slut!
Ah yes, being possessive and an alcoholic. Zoro's best character traits.
"'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless." — Fearless
This is very early Zolu but honestly could just be them being silly and Zoro following Luffy's silly and impulsive shenanigans.
"My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again. These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon: I was enchanted to meet you... Please don't be in love with someone else... Please don't have somebody waiting on you." — Enchanted
Sabaody angst haunts me at night.
"You made a mess of me. I pictured you with other girls in love, then threw up on the street. [...] Oh my, love is a lie, shit my friends say to get me by. It hits different. It hits different this time." — Hits Different
They're so... The one for each other. Their love hits different. For both of them.
"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts. But this love is brave and wild. [...] These are the hands of fate, you're my Achilles heel. This is the golden age of something good and right and real." — State of Grace
They're each other's Achilles heel. I'm gonna cry.
"Time, mystical time, cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine. Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me? [...] Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons. One single thread of gold tied me to you." — invisible string
Thinking that they were destined to be together is cheesy af but I don't care <3
"I see how this is gon' go, touch me and you'll never be alone. Island breeze and lights down low. No one has to know. [...] Every lover known in comparison is a failure. I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now. Never be the same now." — ...Ready For It?
Once again saying that they're the one for each other. And also this song is just the vibes. They have these vibes. I don't want to explain it because I got tired of writing this halfway.
"Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night. Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright. Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life. I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings." — Paper Rings
They're so clingy so sappy so cheesy I don't care what dudebros think.
"You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious. [...] I didn't come here to make friends, we were born to be suburban legends. When you hold me, it holds me together. And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever." — Suburban Legends
Luffy has always been, ever since they met, magnetic to Zoro. And it kind of bothered him at first, but now Luffy has changed his life forever and he will never love somebody else the way he loves Luffy.
"And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other. In another life, you still would've turned my head even if we'd met... [...] 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this. So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine... We would've been timeless." — Timeless
Once again saying that I love thinking they're soulmates. Because they are. Argue with the wall.
"I'm yours to keep, and I'm yours to lose." — So It Goes...
I love codependency.
"But we might just get away with it. Religion's in your lips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship. We might just get away with it. The altar is my hips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship this love. I know heaven's a thing. I go there when you touch me. Honey hell is when I fight with you." — False God
Zoro worshipping Luffy like a God will never not be extremely romantic and passionate. Luffy also sees their relationship like this, kind of. They're each other's world!!! Going crazy!!!
"Put your lips close to mine as long as they don't touch. Out of focus, eye to eye, 'til the gravity's too much. And I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands." — Treacherous
This is just them pining over each other and being extremely intimate and willing to do anything the other says. I love exaggerating everything.
"They said the end is coming. Everyone's up to something. I find myself running home to your sweet nothings. [...] And the voices that implore, "You should be doing more". To you, I can admit that I'm just too soft for all of it." — Sweet Nothing
I honestly always think about Sanuso with this song because it's way more Sanuso coded- HOWEVER!! I do think Zolu has this domestic and genuine energy whenever they're clingy and don't really ask anything from the other except just being together.
"Big reputation, big reputation. You and me, we got big reputations. And you heard about me. I got some big enemies. [...] I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me. And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul. It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold." — End Game
Do I really need to explain this one when everybody knows they're literally dramatic pirates wanted by the law? And they're very very in love?
"All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life. Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life. And I want you now, wanna need you forever. In the heat of your electric touch." — Electric Touch
When OPLA!Zoro said that Luffy had changed his life. That changed me.
"We blocked the noise with the sound of 'I need you', and for the first time I had something to lose." — Holy Ground
Once again this is about OPLA!Zoro but obviously works with our regular Zolu. Zoro was so lost without Luffy I'm gonna cry.
"One night he wakes, strange look on his face. Pauses, then says: You're my best friend. And you knew what it was. He is in love." — You Are In Love
This is the perfect way to describe a relationship between aroaspec people. Also, this is giving Sanuso too but this is not a Sanuso post I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so-
"Don't blame me, love made me crazy. If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right. Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life. My name is whatever you decide, and I'm just gonna call you mine." — Don't Blame Me
I don't need to explain this one.
"My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War." — The Great War
I always think about ASL and Marineford with this one but tbh it is very Zolu too.

Blue Exorcist Chapter 145: Notes
In this chapter, the exorcists are preparing to enter Satan's maze to either bind or destroy his heart. (honestly binding it is the only way to go, or Assiah is done. Lightning should know better!)
The kids might have had a good night's sleep but the Enpeira is weakening, and eventually, Satan's dark magic will destroy them. The adult exorcists and Mephisto spent the night on strategy and they came up with an elaborate plan, with Lightning taking the lead.
Tumblr media
Mephisto makes a model to show the entire chess board to his players. But he's not doing well, his body is weakening at an advanced rate, worse than all the others. But is he dying? Or is his power being used elsewhere and he's playing possum? I have ideas...we know he has some sort of agreement with Shura that we don't know about. Shura is nowhere to be seen in this entire chapter, not even in the background drawings. Weird.
Tumblr media
Just to note, like the powers of Nemu Takara, Mephisto uses toys as his conjuring of choice. This is like this version of Legoland.
Tumblr media
We also have this exorcist that looks a bit like Iblis, but I'm sure Mephisto would know if his sister was amongst them in disguise. Most demon kings have human family thanks to the section 13 experiments, maybe this woman is a descendent? The one next to her looks a bit like a clone Samael too.
Tumblr media
As the exorcists are sectioned off into different teams, Yukio offers to help Rin scale the blue flames wall. Yukio admits that both he and Rin are immune to blue flames. Once Lightning hears this, he completely geeks out. Because of course, Lightning is interested in all things regarding human/demon relationships, possessions, clones and demon-eaters. Pretty much all ways that humans and demons can coexist and share powers. And humans like Yukio have never happened.
Tumblr media
In other side narratives.
Shiemi still thinks she's going to die and refuses to tell Rin that she loves him. Kamiki is on her team, and won't give up on her.
Tumblr media
Between Kamiki and Amaimon I think Shiemi is in good hands with two fierce guardians. If she lives she promises to ask Rin on a date. I think Shiemi has made the right choice, distractions right now, will not lead them to victory.
Tumblr media
And yes, it's the end of the world but teenagers will be teenagers. And young love is such a distraction.
Yukio notices Rin thinking deeply by himself. Yukio, being a deep thinker himself is worried that his brother is still having deep concerns about Satan and the complex relationship between his demon and human sides. But nah, Rin's thinking about girls.
Tumblr media
Plus Rin's crush, is coincidentally also Yukio's crush which annoys Yukio when he mentions his "love issues" And once again the boys are competing with each other. These two are fucking exhausting, will they actually work together climbing the wall, who knows. At least it will be entertaining. Part of me hopes Amaimon breaks the love triangle. Then maybe the boys will get along.
As they prepare to leave for the mission they lock the refrigerators behind them, preventing anything from coming and returning to True Cross. This is probably why Angel is separated from this group in the future. He lives because he isn't there.
Let's hope the future we were shown was wrong and they are able to change it this time around.
Tumblr media
And technically, Lightning secretly doesn't want Angel to come back to the front and become a vessel for Lucifer. Sealing Angel away is the best thing for him, it keeps him safe. Even though Lighting isn't an emotional guy, i think after years of working with Angel, he does consider him his friend.
Tumblr media
And as our brave team departs for battle, after a badass war cry, they ride out on.....bouncy horses.
It may be the end, but least Mephisto still has a sense of humour.
Tumblr media

Your s classes fics aew so good they've pulled me into the fandom again. Now gonna have to see how far the manwha is along! Hahha
(Also since I love your fics so much, I'm not sure if you read fics for fandom you write (I know some authors don't) but if you have any recs... 👀
Thank you!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you had fun with the current chapters!
And yes, I always have recs for fandoms I write because I usually only start writing once I'm truly obsessed or couldn't find a fic that hit quite the vibe I wanted.
Anyway! Fanfic recs! This list has a little bit of everything, I think!

If love is the answer could you please rephrase the question? by theladyofcamelias Yoojin goes on a date with an old high school acquaintance. Everybody is perfectly normal about this in case you were wondering.
travel logs to you by flyingintherainclouds In which Han Yoojin has decided to live a quiet life, as requested of him by his dear brother, who anonymously deposits money into his bank account. He goes traveling two years after Yoohyun left, determined to come back whole. Still, he can't bear to leave without telling his brother, so he sends recordings of himself on his travels to him. secondary title: recordings to you, from my heart to yours
love me, love me not (love me) by Yersina “Hi,” Yoojin croaks into his phone. His stomach had been churning from downing too many healing potions in a row, so he’d been experimenting with just letting the coughs happen. Now he’s starting to regret that a bit. “I’d like to make an appointment.” He gives the nurse his information and stares out the window of his apartment while she looks up his records. “What are you coming in for?” “Hanahaki surgery.”
new dog's old tricks by snipsnap In which Yoojin doesn’t wake up at the broker. This changes everything. Or: being from the future gives you a lot of strings to pull. Yoojin is studying the harp.
[Final Repayment] by Frill “I…” Yoohyun let go of Yoojin’s hand. The curly-haired man stood there awkwardly before asking, “May I come in?” Yoojin stepped to the side quickly. “Come in, Yoohyun-ah. You’re always welcomed.” Yoojin was very confused when his dongsaeng appeared on his doorstep after 3 months of silence.
convention no. 138 by Yersina Yoojin strokes through Yoohyun’s hair once, and the clumps of dirt that fall from the action remind him of where they’re currently standing. “Yoohyun, why are you in a crater? What happened?” At this, Yoohyun untwists himself just enough from Yoojin’s hold to raise a handful of flames in Yoojin’s direction. “Hyung, I think I have magic powers,” he says solemnly. Yoojin stares for a long moment, long enough that Yoohyun clenches his fist, extinguishing the fire, and looks up at Yoojin worriedly. “Okay,” he manages eventually. “Okay. Sure. Yeah.” He was attacked by dinosaurs and his eleven year old brother has magic powers. That’s… this is fine.
Fighting with Fear by Turacin (Turacoverdin) When a raid of an S-class dungeon goes wrong and a conspiracy is revealed, the only option Yoojin has is to take care of it all himself. Unfortunately, he must violently kill fourteen people and an S-class snail boss to do so. The consequences of this are not what he expected.
You Before Forever by Vehemenace When Han Yoojin regresses, he isn't sitting in one of Haeyeon Guild's guest rooms. Instead, he finds himself in the middle of the streets of Seoul, disoriented, with the feeling of his brother's corpse imprinted on his hands.

This is unrelated to anything, but my favorite thing about Carlisle is that whatever Edward tells Bella/the reader about him is wrong in every way. Like, Edward thinks he’s damned so the implication is that Carlisle, a former priest, thinks the same and encourages Edward to believe that, but this is disputed in New Moon. In Breaking Dawn, Edward is convinced that Carlisle would forcibly abort Bella’s baby if it weren’t for Rosalie, but Carlisle confirms he would never do such a thing to Jacob.
Even when Edward shares details of their backstories, he just glosses over crucial information pertaining to Carlisle and it is so funny. Edward mentions Carlisle spent a few decades with the Volturi and this is treated like it’s nothing. Edward completely cuts Elizabeth out of the story, making it seem like Carlisle chose him because he thought he was special, and we only learn about Elizabeth from Carlisle himself. Granted, this could be because SMeyer didn’t come up with that until New Moon, but it does make me reevaluate Edward’s testimony on… anything. I know human memories are blurry to vampires, but they’re not erased like Alice’s were because she was subjected to brain injury inducing electroshock therapy. So it feels like Edward’s exclusion of Elizabeth was deliberate. Lastly, Edward’s disdain for human-blood-drinking vampires and his assumption that his family has equal disregard for them is especially ironic when all of those human-blood-drinking vampires who come to the Cullens’ aid in Breaking Dawn are Carlisle’s besties.
It makes me question Edward’s thoughts on everything, and I feel like the fandom takes a lot of what he says as absolute truth (such as Rosalie being meant for him or Rosalie wanting Bella to die so she could raise the baby) because he’s a mind reader, but his perception and misunderstanding of Carlisle, his beloved father and oldest companion, throws that out the window.
Oh yes, this! I used to say "Edward is not a good storyteller" because he leaves out crucial details all the time. And whether that's a conscious choice on his part to leave things out or he's Just a Teenager who makes himself the focus of everything, I don't know. (Or, as you suggest, that SM didn't flesh out the stories until later so Edward was giving accurate information in the moment but the stories changed).
The other two examples are Esme and Rosalie's backstories, too. With Esme, he makes it sound like, again, Carlisle just found this random dying person and chose to save her; he completely leaves out they had met before. And with Rosalie he makes it sound like the only reason Carlisle 'saved' her was so Edward could have a girlfriend. But when you hear the story from Rosalie's POV it's not like that, and ROSALIE of all people would not be trying to paint Carlisle in a more positive light, so I trust her more. Rosalie talks about hearing him say how terrible what happened to her was, how he couldn't just leave her, what a waste of a young life, etc and that she was free to go off on her own if that's what she wanted. Absolutely nothing about matchmaking or suggesting they get together. Even the guide says it was in 'the back of his mind' and while "omg this poor girl, I can't leave her here, and hey maybe she and Edward will hit it off if she decides to stay with us" isn't super great, it's not nearly so creepy as "here Edward, I found a wife for you" as Edward sort of implies.
And I do often see fandom/fanfic taking Edward's word for it; Carlisle gets a lot of flack for 'changing Rosalie for Edward' and being willing to abort Bella's pregnancy against her will, but when those incidents are seen from the POV's of other characters, Edward's understanding of those moments is called into question.

I was going to post this tomorrow, but I saw @kikker-oma (hope you don't mind that I tagged you) Day 5: Pin Cushion and I got too excited to not post this. I hadn't seen anyone on Tumblr put "A Link to the Past" and LU together, so yes I couldn't wait! GO LOOK AT THEIR ART! It is always 🤌🤌🤌
This is from Chapter 16: "A Deity's Son"
Content Warning: Slight blood and death
Notes: FD = Dametrius and he has promised Sky in the previous chapter that he would gather all the others as each Link passed, so no hero would die alone.
It had been two more years since Sky’s passing. Each era held their own ceremony in remembrance of him. It hurt, but it was part of life and they honored him by keeping his name alive.
Dametrius did not think he would have to go through another similar situation, but there he was, helping Freya with an apple pie when it happened. He was thankful that he was the one holding the knife and Freya was working the dough. Shadow appeared out of nowhere, startling the two in the kitchen. Dametrius cursed under his breath before saying, “Shadow, how the hell did you get here?”
“Long story, but I remembered the promise you made to Sky all those years ago and-” He choked on his emotions, red eyes brimming with large tears. “-It’s Li-Four. I tried to help him, to save him, but the magic was too strong.”
Shadow sagged, nearly collapsing. “Hey, whoa, sit down first.”
“I’m his shadow. He dies, I die. But he’s split right now and each part of him is in a different room in the temple. He has been corrupted by that place for an unknown amount of year, decades, maybe even centuries.”
Dametrius knelt in front of Shadow as he sat. "How did this happen and where is he?"
"He wanted to return the Four Swords to the temple, hoping that it would turn him back into one mind, one body. It did the opposite and I tried everything to keep the dark magic out of him. There is another hero in the temple and each color of Four is a boss he has to beat. We don't have much time…" Shadow was getting weak, signs of Four dying. "I didn't get a chance to see who it was."
Freya kissed her husband, then Shadow's cheek, shooing them away. They left in a rush.
Dametrius snagged each hero from their era with no issues outside of making them jump eras too quickly. Three of them (Twi, Wind and Hyrule) were sick.
"What exactly are we walking into?" Wars asked, hand on the hilt of his sword that laid on his back.
"You won't need that." Shadow assured. He stumbled and crashed to his knees. "N-no…Link…"
There were running footsteps, making the others duck behind a few pillars to not be seen. Dametrius looked over and caught a glimpse of Legend. He was curled in on himself, white as a sheet. Dametrius kicked himself for not remembering-
The footsteps were now joined by a sniffling sound. A young hero emerged from the Temple of the Four Swords, sword covered in blood. This hero was no older than eleven and it all came crashing down from there once he was out of sight. Everyone nearly stopped breathing, then they all looked at Legend, who was on his hands and knees, ready to vomit.
Legend was the hero that just…
"You bastard!! You knew!!" Shadow went to attack the Vet. "You knew you were the one that killed him this whole time and you didn't say anything! I hate you! I hate you Legend!!"
Before Shadow could get his hands on Legend, Time grabbed a hold of him. "We need to get to Four, everything else can wait." Legend flinched at the words. They weren't meant to be rude or suggest anything, but it didn't change how the hero tensed up.
They hurried through the temple, all doors and gates were wide open, not an enemy in sight. In the last room was the pedestal holding the sword Four always carried. Laying next to it was Four, hardly moving.
Shadow got to him first, placing Four's upper body in his lap. "Four, Link, can you hear me?"
The small hero was holding a stab wound right below his chest. "Shadow? I-I'm sorry. I thought it would work."
"Hey, it's okay. We're okay. Look who's here now."
Four's eyes slowly looked to the heroes. A bloody smile was given. "You all made it."
"Of course we did, we had a promise to keep." Wind grabbed the hand Four stuck out to him, clasping it tightly.
Dametrius watched carefully as Four found Legend in the group. "Legend?" Legend looked up, already having tears slip from his red eyes. "It's okay, this wasn't your fault."
"How can y-you say that Four? I just murdered you, for what, a quest? You should hate me like Shadow does."
"But I don't hate you, I never could. You set me free from my stupid mistake."
"I thought…" Legend started to break. "I thought that somehow our quest would have changed your future, changing my past. I wanted to tell you, so many times I was going to.”
Four reached for the Vet, “Unfortunately that’s not how time works and you telling me would have changed things in a way that may have made things worse for you. Maybe you wouldn't have ever lived past here.” Four with all the strength he had left, yanked Legend down and embraced him. “It’s not your fault, none of this is or was.”
Legend’s shoulders shook with his cries.
A bird chirped, capturing their attention. A Cardinal. “Guy’s look.” Hyrule pointed to the bird as it flew down next to Four and Shadow.
It chirped again, landed on Four’s chest, then nudged his chin. “S-Sky?” The bright red bird opened its wings and gave a flap. “You look good as a bird.” That caused the others to chuckle.
When he started coughing, fluid filling his lungs, Four asked for a request. “Bury me some place warmed by the sun, please. I don’t want to rest here forever.” They all nodded and wiped the tears and snot from their faces. “We will all be together again some day. Until then, go do something stupid and live a little.”
Shadow laughed around a sob. “They are heroes, of course they are going to do something stupid.”
Four intertwined his fingers with Shadow’s. “You r-read-dy?”
“Yeah… yeah I’m ready if you are.” He moved the blond strands out of the other's face.
“I am.”
Shadow laid on his side next to him, Four partly propped up against him, both holding each other close. These two were inseparable, even in death. And death didn’t wait long. Four choked and coughed, blood coating his mouth and falling out of it as his eyes drifted closed. His body, along with Shadow’s, ceased all movement.
Legend was the first to openly grieve, bringing his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth. Hyrule wrapped his arms around him, followed by Wind and Wars.
In the midst of their grieving, laughter bubbled up, but not from the living. Two figures, not fully translucid though not fully formed, stood above the dead. Four, green tunic and cap, was hugging Shadow. They looked to be around fourteen, maybe fifteen. The heroes watched as the Cardinal, Sky, trilled at the two spirits. Without a word spoken the two shrugged, took each other's hands and raced after the bird with laughter still erupting from them.
“Why didn’t we see Sky’s soul?” Wild asked, looking at his father.
“Knowing Sky, he probably went straight to Sun’s side up in the clouds.”
“Love bird.” Twilight rubbed his face dry.
Legend, Wind, Hyrule and Wild cleaned Four and Shadow’s body as best as they could, while Dametrius, Time, Twi and Wars found the place for them to rest. They found a spot on top of a hill, where the sun would always be touching it. The four… the men dug a single grave six feet deep, three feet wide, five feet long. It was more narrow than it probably should have been and longer than needed. The number that matched the hero was avoided as much as they could.
The others emerged from the temple, Wild carrying Shadow as Legend carried Four. Time and Twi dropped back into the hole so the forever loved and missed hero and his best friend could be laid in the ground. They were laid with their arms hooked, heads tilted towards each other and a blanket that Wild had in his slate placed over them. Everyone stood at a different section of dirt and pushed it back in the hole to officially say goodbye to their smallest brother.
Before departing from that era for the last time, Time looked at Dametrius with sorrow filled eyes. He knew, they both knew.
“I’m next.”

im rambling about me n devons ocsssss
for the deaths part, there's suicide mention(s) and mention(s) of fire !!
let m see if can remember deaths;
starting with the royales—
Jeremy was Michael Afton'ed (he got his insides ripped out basically)
Lucy got into... a car accident??? @deeplyinlovewithstars help
I think they said Diana got kidnapped? unsure
Dilon hung himself at a young age (the range was 5-12?? I think. I just know he was the first to die)
Derek was shot in the head at 15
Delilah got caught in a fire (I forget how old she was)
as for the mantovans—
Shamora got pushed off a building (I think she was the last to die.)
Alexandra was shot on her 16th birthday
misc characters—
Josh was deliberately drowned when he was twelve
Ash, same case scenario as Delilah, when he was younger
Haru (i forgot. but this just reminded me that HE was the last to die, not shamora)
and I'm sure that there are more, I just can't think of anyone else important
okay, now present canon ships !!!!! >:D (exes and current partners)
Josmora (Josh x Shamora; married)
Dilexru (this is an improvised ship name for Dilon x Alexandra x Haru; married)
Derash (Derek x Ash; married)
Jerelucy (Jeremy x Lucy; married)
Alarchie (Alexandra x Archie; exes)
Dereseph??? (Derek x Joseph; exes)
that's all I can remember
other relationships—
Diana, Dilon, Derek, Delilah (oldest-youngest; siblings)
Shamora, Alexandra (siblings)
Alexandra, Derek (best friends; in-laws)
Shamora, Delilah/Dilon (best friends; in-laws)
Delilah, Joshua/Ash (best friends; in-laws? Ash is her in law, not sure about Josh)
Shamora, Dilory (enemies. Dilory fucking killed her bye)
Every main OC, Joseph (they would all kill him on the spot)
probably some more
HEADCANONS + FACTS YAYYY
oh God where to begin
let's get. let's get Dilon out of the way. we hced a few months ago that he would NNNOT bail his spouses out of prison. oh, shamoras in jail? bailed. Josh is in jail? bailed. Lucy is in jail? bailed. Alex and Haru? keep them in there until their sentence is up. (/hj). don't get him wrong, he LOVES his spouses. but holy shit.
everyone has daddy issues. except ash. he's an orphan he doesn't get issues (jkjk but I THINK he had mommy issues??)
fun fact; the ONLY OC who has kept her personality throughout the years, was Lucy. she's perfect. I cringe every time I read back on old roleplays and see old screenshots. shamora would NOT act like this KILL IT
another fun fact; we would always argue over whether or not Jeremy was a top or bottom. this bitch recently revealed that he is a SWITCH (as Jeremy is their oc)
ANOTHER fun fact; during the starting days of our roleplays, Jeremy was like. Lucifer and Lucy was like Lillith. I'm so positive that this HAS changed. a lot. it probably isn't even canon anymore js
I think that Derek and Haru get along well, and yes it is because Joseph is Haru's brother as well as Derek's ex, BUT! Haru does NOT, and WILL not condone the type of abuse Joseph put Derek through EVER. he does not condone his brother's actions whatsoever, and always sided with Derek after he found out about everything.
adding onto Derek and Haru; Derek probably freaked out the first few times he saw Haru, given that him and Joseph look alike, if you don't count Haru's heterochromia
everyone lives together !! well, there's this one mansion that EVERYONE lives in, but they all have their separate homes for privacy (this is actually canon)
I'd like to think that Alex dyed her hair because she doesn't like thinking back on her birthday, aka the day she died. she's originally brunette, like shamora, but dyed her hair blue as to rid that image from her conscious. sometimes she forgets what she used to look like, until she somehow comes across an older picture, which sends her into a spiral
despite their coldness and stoicness, I would like to think that, if not anything else, Shamora and Dilon are passionate when it comes to their lovers !!
Dilon is the second oldest out of like five kids, affection was probably a frequent thing given how deprived of it they were when they were kids.. so if Alex were to fall victim to a panic attack, or if Haru just wasn't having a good day, Dilon would know, and go about dealing with it in his own ways. as I said earlier, he absolutely loves his spouses, even if he flat out refuses to acknowledge it most of the time. this only happens behind closed doors !! and I don't think they would tease him for it. this is rare, and he means well, so they'd accept it with lots of love !! plus they don't really feel like getting hit in the head with a pot like. ever.
and, unlike Dilon, Shamora initiates affection herself, even when she knows that Josh doesn't need it in that moment. her sister was clingy growing up, so she hardly minds Josh's clinginess. in fact, she'll start to get worried if he isn't holding onto her shirt somehow. there are times where she'll just sit with him and scratch behind his ears, or she'll grab his hand and tug him along with her if she knows she's going somewhere—knowing that Josh has to be trailing behind her, or he'll get lost and spiral if she isn't back within ten twenty minutes. she's quiet when affection is initiated from either of them, and mostly sticks to her actions doing all the talking for her. if Josh starts to get insecure about his place in the relationship, she'll know before hand and talk to him about it—one of the rare times she's actually verbal during any sort of affection.
I saw Devon say this in a hc channel; but Haru is definitely the mom friend !! skddkjdj my brain is running at 999mph thinking about them forgive me
I'm gonna stop here because 🧍🏽who tfs gonna read this besides Devon I am RAMBLING (I still have lots to say too. a lot more 💔)

What i'd change in this piece of media! Or just rewritting it. Because truly it is right now.
Today's episode is.... Twilight!
Because for some reason i started thinking about Edward and Jasper and how they could be fixed and it turned into this clusterfuck. Anyways.
Twilight.
It is so damn boring! But it has potencial.
Ok. Let me explain myself. I started reading twilight's fanfiction without having ever watched the movies. At the time the movies came out, i was too young to take any interest in it, although the women around me did, and they fawned over Jacob and his shirtless scenes. Which was how i was team Jacob (not anymore tho ew)
Nevermind that, thing is, i only watched the movies after reading the phenomenal and creative fics. So, to me the movies paled in comparison.
Don't get me wrong. Twilight was a huge sucess, so it clearly did something right. This is only my opnion, okay?
Lets go.
So, the author created so many interesting characters and then proceeded to give us the most boring ones as the protagonists.
And Edward and Bella are actually interesting. But we got stuck with their annoying versions.
And beyond that, the really interesting side characters never have a chance to be developed. T-T
Not as much as they deserved at least.
And please, the Volturi needed a spin off of their own. Something akin to The Originals and The vampire Diaries.
Anyways, in this first part, i want to talk about how we could get into and actually develope the characters. I'll talk about each movie later.
First, our protagonists. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
Ok. I would LOVE if we had Edward at his antihero phase. Maybe at the tail end of it, maybe at its climax.
Would love to see Red Eyes Edward. Avenging men and women who were raped, tortured, murdered as he battles with his own sense of humanity and self hatred. Trying to do something good while still being a monster.
And yes, he would still be his edgelord self. But now his breakdowns would happen as he is covered by someone else's blood and insides. Rocking himself in a alleyway's corner, looking at nothing as the body at his feet just gets colder and colder.
At some point, he would kill someone inocent. Who was wrongly accused of something. And when he discovers this, he sees his victim's mother crying, yelling at the heavens, begging for answers, for justice. For something. Anything. And Edward would hate himself for thinking for a moment he could do good. "You're a murderer, a demon. You're the one who deserves to die."
And then we have Bella, just as she is. I wouldn't change much about her really. Just make her a bit less "not like other girls" and lessen her infatuation with Edward. Or maybe amplify it. But in a different way. She is taken with Edward not because wow, he is handsome, misterious or smth. But because he is weird. Maybe even have a monsterloving Bella. Who is fascinated by this idea of an angel of death. But as she encounters it, him, she realizes nothing is black in white. He kills people. Humans like her.
She would be attracted, but terrified. Battling against her morals. He has to feed, but he kills only those who are criminals. But who is he to play the judge and jury? And would be interesting for Edward to become more attached to life and morals (as in, murder is murder, bitch. Stop killing people even though theyre criminals and deserve it. Youre not God).
I would love to see their oposing ideas inspire each other and provoke drama and grownth.
Also, id love to see Bella's reasons to be a vampire to be more than Edward. I saw this idea on tiktok i think. And it makes so much sense.
Her reasons would be: she is a bit of a history nerd and wants to be there as historical moments are happening and live to see its repercursions; she is afraid of getting old( but not dying, since she is suicidal and has a kinda morbid curiosity about it); she doesnt want to lose Alice, or Emmett, nor Jasper or Rosalie and Carlisle and Esme; she wants to feel part of something, this family, something she severely lacked as a child and still do as a teenager.
I want a Bella that is in love and obssessed with Edward, but as the story goes on, she learns to be independent. She learns how to be confident in her weird self. And have more than just Edward, although she is very much in love with him.
She would not get pregnant. But would be a vampire because dude. She is so much better as a vampire. Lord above. And well that would be the culmination of her character growth.
Next episode:
Alice, Jasper and him being a confederate soldie or smth :)
Reminder, if you do not agree with me, thats okay. If you want to let me know about your opnion, be nice about it.
Aaaand, this is only for fun. I've never read the books, and its been a long time since i've watched the movies. So, chill.

....Batman??
(This is basically how you met Enid. I did change one thing and it's that here, Enid's hair isn't dyed yet and the dorms now have bathrooms and kitchens.
kind of proofread
reader x Enid Sinclair (platonic or not, you decide :D)
Y/n L/I - your name last initial
Y/e/c -your eye color
There you were, standing on the roof of the first tower near the entrance. You watched as a minivan entered the gates of Nevermore, a blonde teen who looked to be around your age peeked out the window. She spotted your dark presence, her bored expression now changed to a curious one as you moved with the car she was in. The female Lycan was suddenly hit in the back of the head with a football, prompting her to turn around and headlock 2 of the boys in the car. You couldn't help but chuckle to yourself at the sight; you dissipate into thin air and reappear in Weem's office.
"Some guests are here, I think it's the girl you spoke of. The family seems to be a rambunctious bunch, especially the brothers"
"Thank you, please make sure those boys don't enter the quad and distract the other students. And please be careful, only use your tail if necessary"
"Yes ma'am"
You turn around ready to get close to the gate when Weem's voice catches your attention again.
"She seems to remind me of you in many ways; I have no doubts that you two will become close friends within weeks"
"Time can only tell Tia"
"your shoelace darling"
You spoke in a soft tone towards Weems.
"Oh, thank you. Are we still on for lunch tomorrow?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world my little robin hood"
Weems pats your helmet as best as she can before walking back to her desk and sitting down. You quickly wave crouch down and dissipate, appearing in front of the werewolf family. The eldest brother growled at you, trying to assert dominance. You fell backward onto your rear end as he walked towards you.
"Stop bothering him, you jerk!"
The blonde’s back was turned to you as she pushed her brother away from you. You slowly stood behind her, towering over her family and the girl. The eldest, seeing this, effectively puts his tail between his legs and begins to whimper. The rest of the pack quickly hides behind an old couple, who you assume are their parents.
"Please forgive me, are you the Sinclair family?"
(Enid's mother) "Yes that's us, um- we were looking for Weems. Is she here?"
"Right this way please"
You chose to take the secluded path towards Weem’s office since students were out for lunch and moving their things into their new dorms. Knowing the pack behind you, they would most likely pick fights. When you arrived 5 feet from her door, you stayed behind watching as they walked past you. The pack of boys nearly broke off from the group while eyeing a pack of female wolves. Your stern cough and a mean glare put them in place, sending them running back to their parents. You decided to watch around the school while waiting for the meeting to end.
----
"And here is the quad, I'll tell you about the groups in this school later but this is the main hang out"
You saw Yoko giving Enid the usual tour there is with the uniform grabbing and such.
"This place is huge, how do you find your way around here?"
"Don't worry you'll get used to it, you can always ask our neighborhood lord of darkness"
"Wait, I'm sorry; what and who is the Lord of darkness?"
Yoko giggles at Enid's confusion. The vampire looks up and points at you with a smile. Enid follows Yoko's eyes and spots you. She's caught off guard when you look their way and energetically wave at the two girls. The duo nearly have a heart attack as you trip and nearly slide down off the roof, followed by you regaining your balance and clutching your heart. This scene causes the vampire to almost die from laughing with a worried enid not knowing who to panic about. They see you look towards the gates before you wrap yourself in your cape and disappear. The young blonde sighs before smiling at the thought of meeting you.
-----
You saw her family unloading her things onto the floor and making sure she had everything ready.
(Enid's mom) "What if this doesn't work? What if she never wolfs out? WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T BECOME NORMAL?!"
(Enid's dad) "ENOUGH! You're gonna make a scene. She'll be fine, this is nevermore. We have nothing to worry about ok"
The mother calms down, hugging her husband as the she-wolf arrives. You reappear in front of the family; you see the car slightly shaking due to the pack of boys going crazy and fighting in the back.
(Enid's mom) "I'm so sorry honey but we need to get going; we unpacked everything for you and double-checked."
"Oh ok, are you guys gonna-"
(Enid's dad) "HONEY ITS 4:30 pm, WE NEED TO MAKE THE FLIGHT"
The mother looks at her phone and tells her daughter they must go. They say their goodbyes and leave the girl with her luggage and belongings outside the school. The girl sighs as you count 5 boxes and 2 carry-on bags, this is all too much for her to do on her own.
"Do they always do that Miss Sinclair?"
"Oh yeah, but you get used to it; they’re just preparing me for the world so I don't have to rely on them,y'know?"
"Forgive my manners and words, but if anything, it seems like they were dropping you off at daycare rather than a school for outcasts. But considering your family size, that might be normal.”
You unclip your cape from your shoulder blades, folding it neatly into your pocket. You pick up a large gym bag and put the strap over your head and onto your shoulder, tightening the bag's grip on you.
"Hey, no no no I got it I swear-"
She's cut off by you raising your scorpion tail, she takes this as a sign to stop talking.
"Nonsense, my duty is to serve and protect. Thus I will assist you with your belongings"
You hand her the second carry-on bag and she wears it just like you. You coil your tail behind forming somewhat of a little bench with your stinger acting as a stopper.
"Do you mind putting 2 boxes on my tail?"
"Oh no don't worry I got you"
Happy to be useful, the werewolf picks up 2 boxes that are somewhat, one feels somewhat heavy and the other feels like a million tons.
"Thank you, take this one"
You hand her a light box labeled IMPORTANT in pink cursive letters. She quickly takes it and quietly thanks you. You pick up the remaining 2 bigger boxes, which seem to be the heaviest.
"Where are you heading to Miss Sinclair"
"My name is Enid and you can drop the act dude. And don't worry, I won't tell. But anyways, this gal is heading to the last room down in Ophelia Hall"
You look around, making sure no students were roaming the halls. you relax a bit knowing you could keep the act saved for rebellious teens.
"Not gonna lie, I thought I was gonna have to talk like that for the rest of the day"
You chuckle as you walk down the halls toward the stairs leading to Enid's room. It's quiet before you speak again.
"Y/n"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Y/n, that's my name. You should know it considering we're gonna be friends now"
The small smile on her face nearly forms into an idiotic grin. She can't help but shake slightly at the thought of already making a friend on her first day in the new school.
"Oh yeah and if you ever want, you can hang with me, Ajax, Yoko, or Divina. We're always being stupid, so we could use more smart folks"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world"
You both arrive at your destination, being met with a single door and a dead-end hallway.
"here is it, your new home"
Enid reaches for her keys and unlocks the door, opening it with a kicking motion. She walks into the empty dorm seeing a bathroom, kitchen, and two beds.
"THIS IS BIGGER THAN HALF MY ROOM AT HOME AND THAT SHIT IS BIG"
The young werewolf yells this as she drops the box and bag she was carrying, running and jumping onto her bed. You can't help but giggle as you set her things down and uncoil your tail. You take 5 minutes to stretch and text on your phone as Enid runs around and takes in her new gigantic room; She stands still for a few seconds smiling and nodding her head while pointing quietly to the walls. First day here and she was already planning where everything was gonna go. She turned around and began unpacking each box. You put your phone away as you notice her holding two small hair dye boxes. She was contemplating something in her head indicated by her eyebrows furrowing. Seems like you both shared a common problem; Indecisiveness.
"Something wrong broski?"
"Oh, no nothing is wrong, I barely got here and I'm already homesick. New school and dorm y'know? I'm gonna miss the chaos."
She takes out a framed picture from her box. Her parent's gray hair is the only way they stand out of the photo while Enid's brothers squish them; Enid was in the middle with her parents. Everyone’s hair was blonde except 2 brown-haired boys. The brothers looked very similar to her, almost identical. If she had more masculine features, you doubt she would stand out. You try making a joke to push away the awkward atmosphere.
"Wow, you have a ton of brothers. How can people tell them apart? I'd have to write their names on their foreheads."
"Fun fact, my parents had to do that once after they pulled a prank on this kid bullying me. They made themselves look identical and fought him. Everyone jokes around saying I have a lot of shoes to fill"
"That doesn't get annoying?"
"No it does but what can I do about it? I even wanted to change my hair before coming here so I could make go,” Who’s that girl that's standing out from the crowd”. But I was scared my parents would get mad at me. Mostly my mom since she never lets my dad have a say. If she said no dyed hair then no dyed hair."
"Are they against dyed hair? I'm not seeing the problem here"
"Can I tell you a secret? Like a really big one? I need to tell someone just so they can understand why I freak out"  You nod, telling her to keep going. "So this school is kinda like a punishment to me. My parents sent me here because they thought I would wolf out here when the time was right, But even the best Lycanologist have told me there's a chance I may never wolf out. My parents are already worried that it's never gonna happen, so I don't wanna make them more angry or stressed than they already are. It's worse when they say shit like,' Those things won't get you a mate' or 'Why can't you be more like your siblings or cousins'.
You see tears start to form in her eyes as her hands slowly start to shake. You didn't know what to do. How do you cheer a girl up with this amount of pressure on her? You just met and you already feel bad for her. You could change her uniform to fit her liking. Nevermore didn't have huge dress code rules against changing or altering your uniform or hair; You had dyed hair with the help of Yoko. Just wear your uniform, no distracting clothes, and fix your hair. WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT YOUR HAIR?! oh, idea. You slowly crouch down to her level and rub circles on her back.
"Hey listen, let's make a deal. You can....decorate your room for about 3 hours and I'll be back with a surprise ok?"
Enid was sniffling at this point when she looked at you, trying to hide her tears. She quickly wiped her eyes and nodded quickly.
"Mhm S-sure you got a deal, but knock first ok"
You giggle, patting the werewolf's back as you rise to stand up again.
"Ight brb broski"
You walk out of Enid's room, heading towards your room while taking your phone out.
(Y/n) Batman: hey I need help with something
(Yoko) Count_slayula: what's up bitch? Is it the new wolf girl? She’s pretty cool ngl
(Ajax) Snake_from_lego_ninjago: ayooo? new wolf girl? Is she cute? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
(Divina) Mable: Ajax stfu, what's up @y/n L/I
(Kent) dipper: ayo new girl ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) @AjaxP
(Y/n) Batman: we're having a party in Enid's room, the very last dorm in Ophelia Hall. Yoko bring gloves, we're gonna dye her hair. Ajax bring snacks and drinks. Kent And Divina, bring your Wii. We finna play just dance.
(Ajax) Snake_from_lego_ninjago: bettt
(Yoko) Count_slayula: bet
(Divina) Mable: bettt
(Kent) Dipper: Betttt
You put your phone away as you teleport to your room and change into your gray shorts and navy blue baseball t-shirt, leaving your helmet on. You take an extra garbage bag just in case you guys make a mess; you also take the necessary hair-dying supplies. You then realize getting everything in order made you 20 minutes late. You quickly grab your things and teleport in front of Enid's door, bumping into Ajax in the process. You both laugh as he grabs your things and he gets on your back. You end up giving him a piggyback ride as the others arrive.

Gen 2. Cinderella #47 The Curse
Tumblr media
"Well, well... am I not welcome amongst family and friends...?"
Tumblr media
As everyone tried to calm down Queen Gabriella, they couldn't help but notice the evil aura about her, which had never been present before.
Tumblr media
"Even though you have all betrayed me, I have nothing but good intentions... please let me present my gift to the Princess."
Tumblr media
Shaking with trepidation, Ella opened the gift, as Henry shouted, "Don't!"
Tumblr media
The betrayal had sparked the Evil nature inherent in Gabriella's bloodline. She pronounced a curse upon Aurora - should she touch any needles before her 18th birthday (aka Young Adult), she would die. This meant no cross-stitch, no knitting, and no sewing.
Tumblr media
And as she winked out, Gabi muttered... "and should she stay in this land, may your people be cursed with thunderstorms such as the one tonight forevermore."
It already felt like it was constantly thunderstorming in Brindleton... I couldn't wait to get out of there!
Tumblr media
As soon as Gabi left, L., Sage of Mischief, tried to undo the curse upon Aurora... but the most she could do was mitigate the curse. Instead of dying, Aurora would fall into a deep sleep should she ever touch a needle. "What do I DO? Gabi knows I love knitting! I'm the Lady of the Knits! How could she do this to us?! There are needles everywhere!"
I unfortunately didn’t notice Ella's change of clothes until now, so please ignore.
Tumblr media
Morgyn: "Leave Aurora with us. We will protect her in a hidden place until she comes of age."
Tumblr media
L.: "Yes, entrust her to our care... we promise we will never cross-stitch nor knit wherever we are." Simeon: "But for now, she must remain hidden to you all, for her safety, and the safety of this kingdom.”
Henry: “Please… just don’t do any spellcasting around Aurora. She must not get drawn in by Gabriella.”
Morgyn: “That is asking a lot of us Sages… but I agree we must limit our use of magic at the safe house so as not to draw Gabriella’s attention…”
Tumblr media
It seemed like poor Ella could never catch a break...
Tumblr media
Brokenhearted and terrified, the couple agreed to send Aurora to live with the Sages.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And so ends Cinderella's (ever tragic) storyline 😭
Main Back Next

about the wmmap side stories, do you think there is any chance of seeing some scenes from the novel? For example Athy and Claude going to the city, Lucas giving Athy a dragon or maybe something about lp universe?
As a personal taste I would really like if spoon made a reference to the other wmmap universes, where athy marries ijekiel and in which she has a daughter with Lucas, also that Lucas and Athy meet in korea (I'll die if a only panel hinting at that) I'm so excited for the side stories, every day that passes I feel like I'm dying (yes, very dramatic)
The other thing that excites me to think is that when the side stories come out, the entire manhwa community is going to lose it and so am I, i want to see my whole social media just about them again, I miss my girl Athy 🤧
Spoon has said that the side stories will be, at the very least, about:
Claude and Athy visiting Anastasius and Jennette
Claude and Diana's romance story
Lily and Felix's stories (people took this as it being the story of their -so far, fanon- romance but in the way it was worded, it seemed to me that it was just about their individual backstories? There could be some ship fuel there, sure, but I don't think it will be all romance)
Claude and Ana's youth feat. young Roger
The daily life of the maids at the Emerald Palace (This is unconfirmed information, so don't quote me on it but: a good friend told me the chinese notice about the side stories changed "a maid's daily life" to "Athy's daily life" after people got mad over the former being boring. Again, this is unconfirmed, but I wonder what's up with that, because yeah, the daily life of a maid does kind of sound boring. But the text of the chapter itself does say it's about the maids)
The way it was worded, it's not clear to me if these will be 5 chapters, if the stories could span for more than one chapter, nor if those will be all the side stories. So, there's a possibility they will include more than just those summaries. Which leaves room for speculation!
As for what I want: I really want Nox to be included in some way. Even a single throwaway panel about Lucas gifting him to Athy. Please. The dragon extra is amazing as well, so I would love to see it. Claude and Athy visiting the market would be so funny, but it could be kind of included on their visit to Mietta. Oh, I'm actually dying to get more backstory about Lily and Felix as individual characters. Lily's meeting with Diana, what her family situation is like, Felix's early relationship with Claude, are our fan theories about Felix being an illegitimate child true? There is a good chance some of these questions will be answered, so I'm very much looking forward to it. Also, please more worldbuilding in general!
The LP side stories... I think we probably won't get them. Mainly for two reasons: They were insanely long (over 20 chapters if I recall correctly); and also, it would ruin the fandom's opinion of... like 70% of the cast. Comparing both the novel and the manhwa, I think it's pretty obvious that Spoon tried to make everyone way nicer and soften up their ugly flaws, so I doubt she would end WMMAP with Athy suffering at the hands of... kind of everyone except Lily and Lucas. Though I would love to see my edgy boy LP! Lucas.
Spoon actually does include a lot of the novel's material even after deviating from the original plot, so I think we could get some scenes or references to the novel, but probably not LP?
Also, yes, it does feel painfully boring without any WMMAP news on the horizon. Someone said manhwa fandom died with WMMAP's ending, and while that's a little dramatic and maybe biased, I kind of agree lmao. Like, there's no flood of excited tweets every 10 days when 12 AM KRW hits the clock. There's no manhwa characters trending on Twitter. No "every single one of my followers changed their pfps to the new Lucas panels and now I can't tell them apart, help".
Ah, those were the golden days... -> sounding like an old woman.

Sick Day
I'm behind on Tumblr in general, but wanna share some story snippets. If you like what you read, I'd love to know. ❤️
"Don't say it." She poked him in the chest. "You are not going to die. And neither is he."
Jon was silent for a moment then leaned over said in a whisper of desperation in her ear, "Can I go with you?"
She pulled back from him. "You're being ridiculous!"
"I don't do sick, Aud," Jon leaned again the door frame again. "I have a hard enough time taking care of myself when I'm sick. I don't know how to take care of a kid! You remember that cold I had in January?"
"Yes, I do. And I'm very thankful colds only last a week. I was this close..." she put her thumb and forefinger up to his nose. There was little space between her fingers. "To requesting another cooperating teacher to finish my student teaching with."
"And you wanna leave Shawn with me?"
Audrey shook her head in exasperation.
Shawn, who had been listening from his bedroom, struggled to the door. He wasn't thrilled with being left with Jon either. "Audrey, are you really leavin'?"
"I have to, Shawn. It's just for a little while. I'll be back Monday morning."
Shawn stared out into space. "Then I'm gonna die," he whimpered.
"See!" Jon said, shoving his hands in the teen's direction. "You leave, we die."
Shawn walked over to Audrey and leaned into her. "Take me with you. I'm too young to die. Jon can't keep fish alive."
Audrey put her arms around him. "To be fair, the fish are partially your fault. Jon thought you were feeding them and you weren't."
Shawn considered this and panicked even more. "And you're still gonna leave me alone with us? What if I forget to feed me?"
"You can survive without food until I get back if it comes to that." Audrey heard about "man flu" before; she just didn't believe it existed. Apparently, it did. "I cannot believe you two are acting this way. Shawn, I'll give pass to you because you're sick." She looked at Jon. "But you have no excuse."
"All right," Jon mumbled, unhappily. He knew they had to let her leave. "Fine. Go. Please hurry back."
"I will. I just need to make sure my dad is okay. I never know when the next crisis will be his last."
"We understand, Aud," he reassured her. "Tell Richie we said hello and hope he gets better."
Shawn held onto her tighter. "Tell Pops if he passes on to the other side this weekend, I'll see him real soon. I might even beat him there."
Audrey rolled her eyes and told them firmly, "Nobody is dying this weekend, okay?"
Jon gave Shawn a displeased looked as Audrey hugged the boy goodbye and gave Jon a kiss on the cheek.
After she left, Jon and Shawn stood in the living room staring at each other. Shawn sagged against the wall near the door deeply upset that Audrey left him. His head and the right side of his face ached unrelentingly from the sinus infection. He was exhausted from being kept awake for most of the past several weeks from congestion. He wanted nothing more than to curl up on Audrey's lap and let her rub his head until he fell asleep. He could rest with Audrey there.
Jon, on the other hand, was nothing like Audrey. He was likely to throw a blanket and some tissues at him and tell him to sleep it off like he did that morning. Jon did not do comfort. Actually, Jon didn't much of anything even when Audrey was there. He just stood in the kitchen with his hand over his mouth watching them. He only did anything when Audrey asked him to do something.
I am gonna die! He thought as the pounding in his head increased. I want my Audrey!
Jon squinted at him and frowned. "So do I. But we won't have her until Monday. Gotta make due."
Shawn rubbed his temple. He didn't realize he'd said that out loud. Shrugging it off, he went over to the couch and sat down. After a few minutes of sitting, that awful dull ache increased until it was an intense pain running through his head. He stood up abruptly and almost passed out from the equilibrium change. After regaining his balance, he started to walk back to his room. As he moved, the pressure in his head lifted some and brought the pain to a more bearable level. Wondering if it was some sort of fluke, Shawn began to pace his room and the hallway. Yes, he definitely was feeling better. Maybe it was psychological, but he didn't care. His wandering took him into the living room where he ended up doing laps around the couch.
Jon was sitting on the couch trying to watch the Rangers game which was very hard to do with a teen endlessly circling in front of the screen. After several frustrating minutes and missing Mark Messier go bardown on Flyers goalie Ron Hextall, Jon said, "Hey, I thought you were dyin'."
"I'm trying to stay alive since you won't help."
Read the Rest:
