Lyla didn't know what to say as she watched the little girl smiling over at her. She seemed so happy; but Lyla knew that wasn't always the case. Children were resilient. They would be the first to look on the bright side even if their entire world was falling apart. The fact that she was outside of her home in the chill evening air just to avoid her parents and their fights spoke volumes.
"How old is she?", Lyla asked as she turned back towards Barbara and followed her over towards the front steps of the trailer.
"Just turned nine this past August. Her mom, Brielle, got pregnant when she was fifteen, and Butch, the father, is a lot older than her. Her mother made her marry Butch because of the pregnancy so the baby wouldn't be a bastard. It's the worst kept secret in the world, and that poor girl has suffered because of it."
Lyla hated that she knew what that was like. Her own father had disappeared shortly after her mother got pregnant. Her mother never really explained why. She always said that having a family hadn't been a part of his plans, and she had accepted that. Still, it had left Lyla growing up wondering who her father was and what had happened to him. Did he even know that she existed? She may never know for certain, but she knew that the answers ate her away at night.
"My advice to you, child, is to keep to yourself. Southern hospitality is for people who deserve it and they don't. Butch does a lot of things he shouldn't, and he's constantly in and out of jail. And Brielle...well, she's been known to run off my tenants with her theatrics. Buy earplugs. You can still hear their screaming over here. "

"I don't know! Some girl. The old bat is taking her over there right now."
Butch was quiet as Brielle continued to stare out the window. Having someone occupy that trailer was going to put a wrench in his plans, but there was nothing he could do about that. He would just have to look for a place elsewhere to move. He couldn't keep doing what he was doing with the landlord watching his every move, and he had to get away from Brielle. He couldn't stand living with her and her brat of a daughter for one more minute.
"How old is she?", he asked, curiously, as the gears began to move in his head.
"She looks young, but who knows. Pretty, I guess, but she's wearing the rattiest clothes I've ever seen. I thought we had it bad here."
Butch rolled his eyes as he reached into his pocket, searching for the blunt that he has stuffed inside of it earlier.
Maybe his plans weren't completely ruined after all, he thought, as he lit the blunt and moved it to his lips to take the first of many smokes that day.

Ranking the Fellowship in order of trans masc energy
It is well appreciated that Lord of the Rings is incredibly gay but one thing that I rarely see discussed is just how much transmasculine energy so many of the character, particularly in the fellowship, have. At the prompting of my partner asking me which member of the fellowship has the most trans masc energy I have ranked them from least to most trans masc energy. Note that I am specifically pulling from characterization from the books and not any adaptations.
10. Boromir- easily the lest trans masc member. Cis straight guy.
9. Gandalf the White- I’m splitting Gandalf the Grey and White because they’re energies are so different. This one is kind of frustrating because Gandalf’s death and rebirth could be such a great trans metaphor but also Gandalf the White loses so much of his fun and joy and thus his trans masculine energy.
8. Legolas- Legolas is low on they list because, while he is definitely dripping with trans energy, I see Legolas as more of a she/they or nb energy. I’m sure there are some femboy trans mascs who Legolas represents though, that’s fair, I see you, there is just so much trans masc energy on the rest of the list.
7. Gandalf the Grey- fun old bookish man who likes to smoke, we all hope to be him one day, future aspirations for when I am old.
6. Sam- I struggled with where to put Sam on the list but ultimately put him lower than expected because he could go many different ways- trans masc yes, but i get more he/him lesbian vibes from him. He also give me energy like Jack Black- a cis man with uncanny transmasc and/or butch lesbian energy, and there is so much trans masc energy in the fellowship at this point in the list everyone has a lot of it.
5. Aragorn- embodies so postitive masculinity! His trans masc energy is more representing an aspiration of masculinity than it is literal. Also very outdoorsy and a romantic soul. He was one of the crushes I had a teen which was really me just wanting to be him.
4. Pippin- Plucky young trans guy! Definitely has Peter Pan energy. He will absolutely be get carded at the Bar no matter old he gets. Kind of a lovable doofus but he has a big growth arc where we can see his growth mentally and physically cause the Ent Draughts are absolutely a metaphor for testosterone! Also good friends with Faramir who is also a trans man.
3.  Frodo- our protagonist! Adventurous and somewhat studious short guy, its too obvious really. The fact that he gets his big adventure when he is a little older also gives hope to those of us who transitioned in our 30s that we too could can be a plucky young Jim Hawkins style character on an adventure even though we missed it in our youth.
2. Gimli- SPECIFICALLY BOOK GIMILI- FILM GIMILI HAS NO TRANS MASC ENERGY-(love the movies but Jackson did Gimli dirty). That being said he has perfect noble chivalrous trans masc energy, so much positive masculinity to aspire to. And he’s a short king! He is so willing to throw down for the transfems he loves (Galadrial and Leglos) in true trans solidarity.
1. Merry- Are you gonna tell me Meriadoc is not a trans guy name? He is somewhat bookish like Frodo, and definitely the smartest hobbit in the fellowship. Has so much young adventurer vibes without being too much of a doofus like Pippin. Although this is mostly just part of the movies he is a bit of a fancy boy, i know he has a large collection of floral button ups. Eowyn hangs around him while exploring her gender, queer solidarity there. Becomes a knight of Rohan (goals!) and led the uprising of the hobbits again Saruman And as mentioned earlier the Ent Draughts are a metaphor for testosterone!
 @wretched-mog you asked for this!

Greg Part 2
The next morning when I opened my eyes. My face was smiling. I had never slept so deep. I felt like a new, stronger person. No longer a 22 year old boy but a man. Dad's seed had reinvigorated me. When I looked to my left I noticed that he was awake and watching me. We both smiled. He moved on top of me on his knees and hands. We started kissing again. I felt light touches of his cock against mine. We could have continued the whole day. Just kissing.
But I had to catch my flight. I could not resist to put on his dirty briefs. A sweet reminder of a wonderful weekend. Dad brought me to the airport. We kissed goodbye in his car. The first time outside the safe walls of his apartment. It felt almost dangerous. But I was reborn. He had injected me with new life. After a long kiss I grabbed my bag and walked inside the departure hall.
--------
The next few months we had sex regularly. Most of the time at his place. Sometimes he would come to my place. We both were happy with just the sex. We agreed that a relationship was not what we wanted.
One weekday I was horny and went online. Somehow I stumbled upon a site for dads, sons and brothers. This is where I met Ron. A 24 year old guy. Nice stats. Nice pics. I was hesitant in the beginning. But I felt the need to talk to someone about my sexual relationship with my own dad. Ron was in a different situation. He had a twin brother Chris. And since a few years they had sex. They did not live together but both of them lived in P. I often walked through the parc adjacent to their neighbourhood when I was at dad's place. After a long chat we exchanged phone numbers. I was not sure what it would lead up to. It was at least liberating to be able to talk to someone in a similar situation. The next weekend I was at my dads place. Early saturday evening I saw a message from Ron. I had told him I would be in P. during the weekend.
《Hi Greg, my brother is at my place. Are you at your dad's? Feel like a video call the four of us?》
I had told dad about my chat with Ron earlier in the week. So I asked him if he was up for it. He is always open to meeting new people. He was fine with it. So I texted Ron.
《Sure. How about in 15 minutes?》
We were in front of my ipad when Ron called. What I saw was even better than in the pics he shared during the chat. They were clearly identical twins. An amazing site. We talked general stuff. About jobs. Ron was a car mechanic. Chris an electronics engineer. We talked about the situation we were in and how difficult it was to share it with anybody. After 30 minutes or so Chris said why don't you two come over to Ron's place this evening. We are only 20 minutes away. I looked at dad. He was ok with the plan. We agreed to meet at 21:00. After we finished the chat we had a quick shower and walked over to Ron's place.
Ron opened the door with his chest bare. Nice treasure trail. Butch. But not too much. When we entered the livingroom Chris walked up to us. Yes, they were almost identical! Dad and I liked what we saw on screen. But it was even better in real.
"Well we both liked what we saw." Ron started. "But also Chris and I felt the need to get to know men in a similar situation. Men that we can trust. And who are open minded."
"Yes, it is good to meet other men and share this unique experience so few agree on. Or regard as ok." Dad said.
"Our parents are not even aware of it. So you are the first we talk to." Ron said.
"We are in the same situation. You are the first we tell about it." I said after which I put my hand on dad's leg.
We talked a bit more about it. Then something wonderful happened. Ron and Chris started making out. I was hard immediately. It was such a hot scene. After a few minutes they looked at us. Smiling. This was the cue for us to make out as well. Being watched by Ron and Chris while I was kissing dad felt so liberating. As if we needed aapproval.
While Ron was lighting some candles he said:
"How do you guys feel about undressing. Than we will see what happens."
And so we undressed. Candles flickering. I could see them reflecting in the chrome around Ron's cock.
"Better explain." said Chris while he put his hand on the cage. "Ron is in chastity since a year or so. He is very much a top. Like myself. So we found out on the internet that chastity can change that."
"It has made me a different person. Very sensitive.” Ron said. “Full of energy. Horny aĺl the time. Since my cock is locked I go to the gym a lot just to get rid of all that energy. I am even able to orgasm without ejaculating these days. Deeper than a traditional orgasm."
It was interesting to see a guy so butch, so muscular in chastity.
"I keep the key. It is in my apartment even now, so we cannot unlock him. Every week we take it off for cleaning. But while doing that Ron is hand cuffed so he cannot touch his cock. He is now rewired, his hole is his only sex organ. With an Njoy pure wand I milk his prostate so semen is released every week or so. Also after taking the cage off him he becomes rock hard. Only by milking him he becomes flaccid and I can put his cage back on again."
Then he said:
“We fantasized about being watched. But never dared too ask anyone. If we would have pretended to be friends nobody would have believed us. We are just too identical. Which was another reason why we wanted to date with you. With men who understand and who know what it feels like.”
While Chris was talking my eyes locked with Ron. There was something about him. Although they were quite identical I felt an animal like attraction to Ron. I took a step forward and put my arm around him. Our eyes still locked. His blue eyes were transluscent. Our mouths opened and our tongues intertwined. I could feel dad and Chris standing around us. Almost like a sacred gathering. Their hands over our bodies. Encouraging us.
We moved over to the bedroom. Ron was now on his knees and hands. I opened his buttocks revealing the most beautiful puckered hole. A slightly hairy crack. Sheer perfection. Just touching him there with the tip of my tongue made him twitch and moan with pleasure. God this was heaven. Moving my hands over his tanned hairy inner thighs. I was now sliding my tongue deeper inside him. When I tasted Ron so intimately I knew he was mine. It was like coming home. Like I had been searching for this my whole life. In a mirror I saw dad and Chris making out. Ron moved over on his back. Begging me to fuck him. I looked into his blue eyes. Even before entering him he seemed in a deep state of orgasm. He was craving for my cock to enter him. I did not even have to push my cock inside. It was as if Ron bloomed for me. He opened up literally. While I was inside him Chris started kissing his brother. Dad was behind me. I could feel his hands on my back. I did not move. I just wanted to be one with Ron. Inside him. As if my cock had found its home. I could now feel dad's tongue rimming me. His hand cupping my balls. When Chris moved over he whispered in my ear.
"Fuck him deep. Seed him. Give him what he needs."
I was now thrusting. Deeper and harder. My head moving closer to Ron. I had to kiss him while fucking. When our tongues made out I stopped thrusting. I felt Chris hands stroking my hair. I looked deep into Ron's eyes. Everything stood still. Ron's eyes begged me. Without doing anything I came. A warm flow of cum was released inside him. Ron's eyes did all the talking. His begging look was replaced by the most sexy smile. It was a spiritual moment with Chris and dad watching us. Ron held my hand when he asked my dad:
“I want you to fuck me while your son’s cum is still inside me.”
Dad was rock hard. I put lube on my hands and lubed his cock. I guided his cock to Ron’s puckered hole like a farmer helps a stallion to penetrate a mare. When the head of dad’s cock touched the entry to his innersanctum Ron opened up. Some of my cum still dripping from his hole. With gentle thrusts dad started fucking Ron. I stood behind them so I had a close-up view. I saw dad's balls touching Ron's perennium. His thick cock sliding in and out. Slowly. Just the idea made me so horny, my dad was cumming where I had injected my load. I loved to see him thrusting in slow motion. I put one hand on his perennium. I knew he was not far off the point of cumming. When he finally came my fingers felt those wonderful pulsating involuntary contractions. Dad pumping his seed in Ron. When he slid out of Ron I could not resist licking Ron's hole. As soon as my tongue touched him he started to relax. A stream of cum flowed out of him. A mixture of dad's and my own semen. The taste that I knew so well by now.
It was now Chris’ turn. I saw a thick thread of precum hanging from his cock.
It was wonderful to see him slowly penetrating his brother. Two identical studs. God, this was the hottest thing I had ever seen. Their faces close. Smiling. You could feel their deep love for each other. Ron looked at me. He was in a trance. His eyes yearning. What a site to see these twins riding. I looked at his caged cock. Dripping with precum. Both moaned like animals when Chris finally came. Dad was standing behind me with his hands lovingly wrapped around me. I felt his cock hardening while watching. For a moment we were all quiet.
After we had a shower we went back to the living room. None of us bothered to put briefs on. Me and dad already semi hard again. The candles were still burning. The mood was erotic. Peaceful. We all agreed it was a really hot encounter and that we should do it again. After we finished our beers we said goodbye. Dad and I walked home through the parc. Talked a bit about the amazing sex we had. At home we undressed and went to bed straight away. It was after midnight. After we kissed passionately I slept like a log.

still thinking about ryuzato’s gerardsonaverse. rat king my beloved. rat king x mary butch girlfriends im crying. dirty butch girlfriends fucking copia while rat king has their period dONT LOOK AT ME
anyway. explicit, 2527 words. ao3 link
Copia was exhausted from giving sermons and hearing confessions, sitting in meetings, running errands for Sister Imperator, and artfully dodging Papa Nihil to avoid being scolded for whatever he was doing wrong in the old man's ghostly white eyes. Closing his doors, he was more than relieved to unbutton his cassock and wrap himself up in a simple robe, because it was moreso laziness that kept him from bending over to put on pajama pants than the tiredness. Ruffling his hair free from the gelled combed-back style, he sat down at his mirror to wipe the black off his upper lip first.
Surprisingly, when he saw movement in the window behind him, he didn't flinch. When he first moved into his new suite, it would often take him by surprise, only to learn that there were Ghouls walking around the courtyard at night. He knew better than to stick his little nose into their business. So once his lips were clean, he dampened his rag again. Before it even touched the dark circle under his eye, it dropped from his hand.
Copia finally screamed when a loud bang tapped against the glass hard. He stumbled to his feet and knocked the stool over, and. of course, he had to trip over it. His cheekbone collided with his floor, and though his vision blurred, his hands pushed him up as much as he could. "What-" He tried to blink his vision back to normal, but relying on his hearing came more in clutch when the lock on the window jiggled.
The culprit jimmying the lock open with a coat hanger was none other than Mary fucking Goore. Again. Only this time, they weren't alone. And it seemed like they didn't have a care in Earth or Hell whether or not Copia saw them.
Scrambling back to his feet, Copia stumbled to the window and pressed his hands against it. "You may not enter!"
Mary pouted. "But I missed you!" he whined through the glass, and gave his best puppy-mutt eyes. A mutt that had rolled through a butcher's shop, no doubt. Their friend hung back with their greasy arms crossed. "C'mon, Cardi. I'll tuck you in."
Copia should say no. He couldn't count the number of times Mary had committed B&E, and he knew that they were just gonna find some crack in the wall to squeeze through somehow. It would have been amusing to watch them get caught, but...that friend. The grime that drenched their body made the surprisingly soft features of their face stand out more. The eyes. The sweet little pout, the grumpy pose as they nudged the tip of their shoe into the grass. Shit, the Cardinal was entranced. When their gazes finally met, the friend wiggled their fingers on one hand in greeting, and cracked a half-assed smile.
Mary didn't need a verbal confirmation when they read his face, and finally pushed the window up. "I knew you'd say yes!" Eagerly, Mary hopped up with their legs swinging and held Copia's face to smack a kiss on his lips. "Hey, dollface."
"You smell like low tide." Copia stared them up and down with disdain, even if the bats in his belly fluttered at the sight of them. But he pushed Mary aside to offer a hand to the friend, helping them through. "Scusi, bella. Is this creature bothering you?" Their hand was slippery and difficult to pull, and admittedly, the slimy feeling made him wince. But their touch was still warm, and by the time they were in the room and on their feet, they were practically pressed up against his chest. Their face was at the same level as his, and his whole face flushed red.
"I like your eye," they murmured, and pressed the pad of their index finger against his left cheek.
Mary lightly tugged Copia's earlobe to snap him out of his trance. "Copes-" He shuddered at the bad pet name. "This is Ratty. I thought they'd like you."
"R-Ratty?" Copia blinked. "Oh. Yes, well- eh, yes. I have been known to...well, it's a whole thing. I'm working on this-s story, no, a song. About plague and a metaphor of-"
Ratty just nodded along, humming every few moments to remind him that they were listening.
"Ah, widespread religion is infectious, see, and some followers are like the rats that carried diseases...but I'm not saying you're diseased!" He eyed their oily arms and dirty shirt; he could see why Mary was drawn to them.
Ratty shook their head. "I'm not," they confirmed. "I'm just feelin' a little unwell."
"What?" Copia glanced back at Mary.
Mary took Ratty's hand and glided them over to sit on the edge of Copia's bed. "Calm down, your unholy eminence, it's just cramps. I wanted them to have a safe place to sleep tonight."
Copia brushed the wrinkles out of his robe, but ended up smearing some grease stains over the cotton. His lips pressed together tightly, and tucked it away in his mind as a later problem. "As  man of faith, I do have a duty to aid those in need."
"Widespread faith?" Ratty's shoulders shimmied a little, teasing him.
It was a contradiction, he knew, with his luxurious rooms in a luxurious palace of a church. "I...I suppose so."
Mary guided Copia to sit down as well, and Copia's instinct was always to tilt his head up to await a little kiss from Mary. Mary obliged, and Copia rested a gentle hand on Ratty's back. He rubbed in slow circles, pleased to see that their face relaxed. But he felt a little wrong when something in his pelvis sparked listening to them hum in relief.
"That's nice," Ratty assured him, and shamelessly took his hand to press against the front of their hip. "Right there, please."
Mary shuffled in behind them and rested their chin on their shoulder. "Copia's gonna take good care of you," they whispered, smiling. "He's so attentive."
Yes. Yes, he was. He hadn't planned on taking any lovers to bed tonight, but he couldn't turn them away. He couldn't stop touching them, he didn't mind them leaving traces all over his sheets. The deep, earthy, salty tang of them drew him in closer. He didn't mind Mary's blood-crusty fingers suddenly combing through his hair, and he leaned in as Ratty turned their head and let him kiss them gently. "I'll ease your pain," he whispered, half in his professionally dulcet tone. "Unburden your troubles with me."
"Should I call you Cardinal?" they whispered against his lips.
"If you'd like." A sharp hiss quickly filled his lungs when Ratty guided his hand lower, between their legs. He quickly got the message and attempted to lay them down, only to find that Mary wouldn't budge.
Mary brushed a thumb over his cheek affectionately. "Just let 'em lean on me." They smiled when Ratty's neck craned back, and their head rested on their shoulder. "They're aching real bad, Cardinal."
Copia picked up what the trouble was quickly enough. And by the looks of Mary's mouth, they already tried to ease the cramps before they got here. Figures that he'd get sloppy seconds, but he didn't mind. He was more than happy to treat this fallen angel.
"Wanna feel how good you are." Once Mary got Ratty's pants down past their knees, their legs spread open and revealed a surprisingly clean-shaven pussy, still dripping blood. "Please, help me, Cardinal?"
Now, usually Copia avoided letting church-goers use his title as a kink, but he had exceptions. One bat of their lashes and he was two fingers deep inside them. Moving slow at first, he pumped them in and out of her until they were red-slick, and he buried them as deep as they could go, scissoring them wider.
Ratty keened and bucked their hips up, nodding. They kept a steady hand on his wrist and parted their lips, inviting Mary to slip their tongue in their mouth. Their whines pitched high in the top of their throat, wordlessly begging for more.
Copia couldn't get a good enough angle sitting. He stood up again to hover over the both of them and get three fingers in, now, to curl them better inside their cavern. He was humming softly from his chest, and very aware of the flame burning in his thighs. It almost felt wrong to get so hard from this, but Mary's impure smirk assured him that it was so right.
"Cardinal, could you help a little more?" Ratty bit their lip and arched their chest forward. Copia got a good look at the muscle tank now: All Hail The Rat King. How apt. The knotted tails would have skeeved him out more if all of his blood wasn't in his dick.
With his fingers still moving, though, his thumb pressed against their clit in quick motions. His eyes turned downward to watch himself fingerfuck them, and his l'appele du vide was making sense of why Mary ate them out before they both got here. His mouth watered, and shame itched in his stomach. No, he couldn't. Besides, his room was filled with their shaky panting and whining, so he must have been doing well enough of a job. That didn't mean that it was easy to ignore the cock eagerly pulsing between his legs, however. "My dearest-" His voice cracked. He tried to ignore it. "May I fuck you?"
Ratty didn't hesitate on nodding. "Pull me back." They slid down to the center of the bed, and Copia crawled with them. He peeled their shirt off their body, and nodded at Mary in silent demand that they undress as well. He shed his robe and finally took the plunge to press Ratty's and his chest together, getting himself deliciously dirty. He kissed them like his sanity was slipping away and their arms slipped all over their waist.
"Turn over." Mary leaned back and helped Ratty on their knees, legs spread and hips bucked like an animal. Mary pet their head and neck, grinning down at them. It seemed like Ratty knew just what to do when they took Mary's cock in their mouth. Mary winked at Copia. "You can have some next."
Copia huffed at them and leaned over Ratty, kissing their shoulder before he mounted them and plunged his cock in deep. Their walls were so soft and hot, he shuddered in pleasure and couldn't help but thrust into them again.
Ratty's voice vibrated hard around Mary's head, making them grunt in return. Ratty only freed their mouth to look over their shoulder and nod eagerly, and let Copia's thrusts help set the pace as they took as much of Mary into their mouth as they could. Mary's hips just worked a gentler rhythm, not wanting to choke them.
Copia reached around to keep rubbing soothing motions between their hips as he fucked them carnally, but as they cried out in desperation, he returned to circling their clit until they were practically screaming, tightening around his cock and absolutely shaking. For a moment, Copia felt panic rise as he feared that he pushed them too far, but they let Mary's dick go again and wiggled their hips again eagerly, touching themself in satisfaction. "He is good, Mare."
"I know. Get him on his back." Mary laughed softly and tipped Ratty's chin up to kiss them just as sloppily as before.
Ratty didn't even need to move for Copia to obey and slide forward, laying down next to them. His cock was a deep, glistening red, with only a rivulet of precum cutting through the blood. He could only stare for a few seconds before Mary was sitting on it, grinning down at him.
"You missed this, didn't you?" Mary moaned, arching their back with their legs spread wide open for Copia to get a good look. Apparently, Copia was slick enough for him, since there was no resistance going into his ass. "You missed me riding you, unholy eminence. You missed the way I look when you stuff me fucking silly."
"M-Mary..." Copia's eyes rolled back, but his hand scrambled to grip at Ratty's arm. "Bellisima, how do you feel? Are...are you alright?" He felt a little stupid with the way the mattress bounced from their weight, with Mary's rough motions.
Ratty's fingers brushed over the forming bruise on Copia's face from falling on the floor earlier. "I think you're the pretty one," they purred, and their fingertips dragged along their lips. Bloody fingertips from overstimulating themself.
When in Rome, right? Copia closed his eyes, like that would make succumbing to his any better, and let their fingers press against his tongue. It was filthy, it was sort of humiliating, and Copia wanted more. A squeak escaped him, and he grabbed for their thigh instead. "I need you, Rat. I need...por favore. Use my mouth."
"I knew it." Mary threw his head back with a smug moan, and gripped Copia's ribs. "Drink up, Cardi. Trust me, it's delicious."
Copia didn't have much time to respond with Ratty throwing a leg without a care over on the other side of Copia's face. Their thighs stretched out more in a lazy spread-eagle, and they leaned forward to kiss Mary again. Their cunt pressed hard against his lips, his nose brushing their taint as he sucked on their folds. His own cum was dripping back onto his face, making their taste more sour, but he couldn't stop anymore. It was too good, he never knew he loved being used like this so much. Without a second thought, he spanked their ass hard, just once, and reveled in the yelp they let out.
Ratty bit down on Mary's lip and jerked them off; it didn't take much longer until they were cumming all over Copia's happy trail with that guttural growl that he so famously used instead of singing. But it was a pleasing noise, a feral signal of a well-fucked out gutter rat.
Ratty arched their back as they shared Mary's cum together, and though Copia couldn't see, his other senses were so amplified between taste and smell and Mary still clenching tight around him that he couldn't stop himself from cumming deep inside them. He spanked Ratty one more time before begging for air, and as Ratty pulled up, the blood left  his chin and cheeks cooler. Licking his lips, his cheeks burned in glorious shame.
"Lay with me," Copia begged. "Stay."
Mary patted his stomach and wiggled off his dick to flop down on top of him, earning an annoyed oof from the cardinal. "As you wish."
"You bum," he grumbled, but was easily pacified when Ratty cuddled up against his shoulder. They kissed all over the side of his face, from his jaw up to his temple sweetly. It was apparent that nobody was going to clean up, so he sighed and let his muscles ease. His hand wandered again to take Ratty's, and he found himself smiling again. "Can I keep your friend.
At once, Mary grunted "No", while Ratty giggled with a "Yes."

Without further ado, my translated (thanks to Google translate and jisho) poison winquotes for the base 16 roster with some translation notes by me!
Vs Ryu
Hmph! Stubborn, as usual…you're no fun!
Vs. Chun-Li
Nothing good comes from fighting you. Well, a win is a win.
Vs. Charlie Nash
It's annoying! What if you're the only one with your burden to handle?! (or) It's annoying! You think you're the only one who has to go it alone?! (note: the word used in the original "annoying" here is, for some reason, kansai dialect slang for "annoying" or "depressing", because google translate literally translated the word as "stinky" and it took a quick search on jisho to find it's actual meaning. unless poison's talking about charlie's corpse, I don't think she's referring to that, especially because no other character has remarked on his corpse having a smell.)
Vs. M. Bison
Evil organization? Not even bothering, whoremonger! (or) Evil organization? Ask again never, whoremongerer! (note: the original word used in japanese was otanchin, which literally translates to a rude or dirty customer in a sex work transaction back in the 1900s or less. i chose a word with a similar old fashioned connotation and also a connotation to sex work; made extra funny by the fact m bison's dolls are mostly young women and m bison is an age indeterminate gender indeterminate person who mainly presents as a man, thus at least outwardly making him the worst kind of customer in sex work.)
Vs Cammy
Seriously…be more comfortable with yourself! (or) Seriously…you need to chill!
Vs. Birdie
I don't hate men who like to eat. However, you'll eat twice your share of food with the hard work you'll do for me! (note: interestingly, poison uses the masculine coded kuu and kuttara for the verbs she uses for eating: in other words, gnc/butch poison real, though I'm aware onee kotoba often involves using crude masculine terms with exaggeratedly feminine and polite terms at the same time.)
Vs. Ken
Hey, playboy. You're looking a bit weak, isn't that unacceptable of you? (note: the word poison uses to describe ken can be easily translated as "lady-killer" or "sexy guy" but I used playboy because I feel like she'd call someone that.)
Vs. Necalli
Devour…? If you say something I don't understand, I'm gonna hit you!
Vs. Vega
There are beautiful things that are smeared in mud. But you wouldn't know that, would you? (or) There are pure things that are covered in mud. But you wouldn't know that, would you? (note: the katakana poison uses, "kireina", both can read as beautiful or pure depending on the reading, but both have a similar message so I went with both.)
Vs. R. Mika
You get it! Yes, fighting fascinates me, makes me sit on the edge of my seat! (note: another kansai slang used here; this time, it's nanbo, and in this case it refers to how much excitement feels when poison watches fighting or participates in it herself.) 
Vs. Rashid
Pyuu, pyuu, is that supposed to be a strong wind? I don't like airheads. (note: one of the many times poison uses wordplay; in this case, she uses the word karui to describe Rashid's wind powers and also his personality)
Vs. Karin
I don't know if I'm like you, but there's a lot of stubbornness here.
Vs. Zangief
At this rate, you won't get out of the ring until you die! Wonderful, wonderful!
Vs. Laura 
Aren't you going to have fun fighting? Would you like to go on tour with me?
Vs. Dhalsim
Don't say things like you've realized what I'm thinking.
Vs. F.A.N.G.
Oh lord, looks like another bad guy. Would you like to reintroduce yourself with my whip?

RGG Tactics: Awful Backstory (not Aoyagi's for once)
Hoo. I don't know how or if this flashback is going to make it into the main story but I needed this shit out of my brain. So. Two things before you click that readmore:
This is a fuck-off huge spoiler for a major character's backstory and motivations and
it depicts part of a really awful Y0 cutscene from that character's perspective, including The Worst Person In Sotenbori being... exactly that, so be advised. (he is not awful to this character in any graphic way in this scene but there are some Things Implied, just fyi)
Anyway! Misery loves company and if I have to think about this fucked up scene, so do ALL OF YOU! Enjoy! ᕕ( ᐛ ) ᕗ
[Sotenbori, 1988. A certain shady warehouse. We can’t quite see what’s going on around the stacks of crates and the occasional bystander, but the Extended Sounds of Baseball Bat Violence get the point across. We cut to a low shot of Majima’s shoes and fresh blood dripping onto the dirty floor. The baseball bat hits the floor with a clatter. As we watch The Worst Motherfucker In Sotenbori whisper in Majima’s ear, we see movement in the background--one guy bolting for the door. We can’t see his face, but his broad shoulders and butch cut look kind of familiar. Nobody else really pays him any mind, but we do see Sagawa glance in that general direction--he’s definitely noticed.]
[Outside the warehouse, we see that kind of familiar big guy half doubled over, one hand braced on the wall, gulping air as if he’s just gotten done being violently sick. The door opens and we hear slow, casual footsteps. Sagawa’s hand lands on the big guy’s back, friendly as can be, and the big guy jumps and yelps like he thinks he’s been caught doing something wrong. When Sagawa speaks, his voice is dripping with what sure as hell sounds like sincere concern. We know better.]
SAGAWA: What’s going on, buddy? You okay?
BIG GUY: Uh--
[The big guy hastily wipes his eyes on his sleeve and starts to straighten up.]
BIG GUY: S-sorry, boss. I--I just--[forced sheepish laugh] think I hit the wrong takoyaki stand.
SAGAWA: Ooh. Yeah, I know how that goes. When the kitchen looks like shit, you’re either gonna get the best food you ever had or a tapeworm or both, right?
[Sagawa has that look on his face. The one where he knows that what he’s hearing is bullshit but he’s decided it’ll be more fun to play along than call it out. He’s rubbing the big guy’s back in a way that makes it way too clear that Majima is not the only person this asshole is sexually harassing these days, and the big guy is clearly trying to shrink away from it without looking like he’s trying to shrink away from it.]
SAGAWA: Think you’re gonna live long enough to help clean up in there?
BIG GUY: I, uh… yes sir. I’m… feelin’ better now. [he clearly isn’t]
SAGAWA: That’s my boy. [gives the big guy a “friendly” shoulder squeeze] I’m taking off. You take it easy, Chiba-kun.
[Yep, the big guy with the familiar build and haircut sure is a young Chiba, and he’s wearing Sagawa’s crest. He watches his boss go, shakes his head as if to clear it, takes a deep breath like he’s bracing for Horrors, and goes back inside.]
[Back inside the warehouse. Majima is still tied to his pole, bloody and half-conscious. Chiba tries not to look in his direction.]
SAGAWA MAN: Hey, Chiba. Get it together.
CHIBA: Yeah. I know. [gets it together for like two seconds] Man, doesn’t it get to you, the kinda shit he does to that guy?
SAGAWA MAN: [shrug] Not if I don’t let it.
CHIBA: Not if you don’t--what the hell! This ain’t what I swore up for!
SAGAWA MAN: [exasperated] What the hell’d ya think the yakuza was about? Huh? Pickin’ up trash n’ helpin’ little old ladies across the street? [grabs Chiba by the collar] You keep your head down, you keep your mouth shut, and you do what you’re told. End of.
CHIBA: Ah--
MAJIMA: He’s right, Chiba-han.
SAGAWA MAN: [lets Chiba go, roughly] Nobody’s talkin’ to you, punchin’ bag.
MAJIMA: Orders are absolute. [a soft snort of a laugh that is utterly hollowed out of anything resembling humor] Ask me how I know.
CHIBA: …
MAJIMA: Ya got one job. Do whatever the fuck he tells ya to.
[Majima looks up, looks Chiba dead in the eye.]
MAJIMA: Or ya end up like this.
[Chiba looks like he wants to say something. Instead, he looks away and goes back about his business as best he can with THIS SHIT weighing on his conscience.]
---
So... yeah.
Chiba never really forgave himself for [checks notes] being basically a teenager and falling for a master manipulator's shitty mind games, and as soon as he was 100% sure Sagawa was dead he went running to swear up with The Second Worst Motherfucker In Sotenbori because he'd heard that one took like five bullets in the chest trying to help Majima and figured the Kijin Clan was as good a place as any to try and atone. And the rest is history.

Drabble: At least they weren’t named Ka(VIII)lyn
“Yeah,” Buttercup continued her story, throwing a softball up and down into the air, spread out on Blossom’s bed as said sister lounged at the foot of the bed, typing on her laptop, “so then, I was like, listen Stacey—“
“Wait, Stacey P or B?”
“B.”
“Oof,” Blossom sucked on her teeth, “my condolences.”
“Right!” Buttercup sighed, “So, I was like, listen—“
Their bedroom door slammed open, causing Blossom to jump and Buttercup to miss the softball that subsequently went smashing into her nose.
“Hey!”
“Ow!”
The two girls whipped their heads up to get a good look at the intruder, only to find Bubbles standing in the doorway, flushed and breathing heavy.
“You almost broke my nose—“
“I wanna be sexy!” Bubbles yelled.
The two of them blinked and shared a look before turning back to her sister.
“Bubbles,” Blossom tsked, “don’t kick the door open. You could have busted it.”
This seemed to deflate Bubbles a bit as she guiltily looked back at the door.
“Sorry, door,” she mumbled, giving the wood a little kiss for good measure.
“Apologize to me! Not the freaking door!” Buttercup scowled, still rubbing at her sore nose, but Bubbles ignored her.
“I wanna be sexy,” Bubs whined again instead, “but I can’t!”
Blossom raised an eyebrow, “Uh, okay, sorry about—“
Bubbles draped herself across Blossom’s bed, laying directly over both of her sisters, “I’m miserable! I just wanna be—“
“We get it!” Buttercup huffed, pushing Bubbles legs off her face, “Sexy, whatever, get over it.”
Bubbles sniffled, hugging her arms tighter around Blossom’s neck, who, in turn, sighed and decided to just bite the bullet, “Okay, Bubs, why can’t you—“
“Because my name is Bubbles!” Bubbles cried, “You can’t be sexy with a name like Bubbles, it makes people think of preschoolers!”
“I think of baths actually.” Buttercup pointed out, only making Bubbles crying louder.
“Preschoolers and baths!” Bubbles corrected herself, crying into Blossom’s neck.
Blossom shot Buttercup a quick look before turning back to Bubbles, “Come on, Bubs, that’s not—“
“You should just buy a push-up bra.” Buttercup mused, speaking over her, “Or like a thong or something? I bet that would help.”
“You think?” Bubbles looked up from the crook of Blossom’s neck with a sniffle.
“No!” Blossom glared, “You don’t need to be sexy! You’re perfectly fine the way you are as is.”
“Well, that’s easy for you to say, Blossom.” Buttercup pointed out, “You’ve got a stripper name.”
Blossom’s cheeks blazed as she sputtered, “No I don’t!”
“You totally do!” Bubbles whined, pulling away from her with a grumpy humph, “Blossom’s a very sexy stripper name.”
“It’s not!”
“Lmao it totally is, stop denying it.” Buttercup nodded.
“Well—“ Blossom floundered, turning redder than her hair, “well you’ve—“ She pointed at Buttercup, “you sound like you’re named after a grandmother’s dead cat!”
“Ugh! I know!” Buttercup shot her arms in the arm in agreement before falling back onto Blossom’s bed, “It’s the worst! How could a man named John do us dirty like this?”
“He set us up for failure!” Bubbles agreed, “I’m never gonna get a boyfriend with a name like Bubbles!”
“Guysss, I don’t have a stripper name!” Blossom whined behind her hands, the red in her cheeks never once fading.
“Yes, you do!” They chimed back.
“Anywayyy,” Buttercup hummed after a moment resuming her game of catch, “I was talking to Stacey—“
“Wait, Stacey P or B?” Bubbles asked, wiping away her tears.
“B.”
“Oh.” Bubbles pulled a face, “I’m sorry.”
“Right??” Buttercup exclaimed.
“That’s what I said,” Blossom nodded, agreeing with Bubbles as she removed her hands from her face and picked up her laptop once more, face still tinged red, “So, what did she do this time?”
———
Boomer: my name reminds people of old people 😭😭😭
Brick: shut up boomer, I’m literally named Brick.
Butch: depending on the context, my name counts as a slur
Brick & Boomer: 😬😬
Butch: anyway I was talking to this chick, Stacey—
Boomer: wait—P or B?

TOTP, Episode Aerith, Scenes 15-21
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Traces of Two Pasts Episode 2: Aerith Scenes 15-21 A Light Novel by Kazushige Nojima Translated by Stanley (@istanleyff7 on twitter) Scene 15
"My mother and I think alike. There are too many names, and we didn't know whether they're good or not. So we said, that's good enough. This name will be somewhat fine. Whew, perfect.'
"But you're Aerith now, aren't you? So there was an issue after all?
"Yeah it was a big one. In terms of the number of incidents, I don't think you’ll beat me to it, Tifa."
She let out a huge sigh, and Tifa then showed sympathy for her struggles.
Scene 16
It was the day after they decided on the name 'Rona'. Marvin came down in the morning, Roger in the evening. And the day after that, Bauman came down in the morning and Lewis in the evening. All of them brought gifts for Rona, the daughter of a relative taken in by Elmyra Gainsborough. She was the wife and the representative of Clay, the second in charge, who was the representative of Gabriel, the first in charge. Apparently, the news spread quickly to everyone who was related to the business. The old-fashioned room on the second floor turned into a vibrant space full of primary colours because of the children's souvenirs.
Aerith particularly liked the 'animal cards' and 'plant cards' that Bauman had brought over. With Elmyra's permission, she pasted the cards on the wall. She was able to lose track of time gazing at the illustrations of unknown creatures. It's not that she didn't like the other gifts - such as the books and the dolls. Whatever it was, the experience of receiving things like gifts and souvenirs was new and exciting. Except in the mornings and evenings when she had to attend to her guests, mainly the members that were the third in charge, Elmyra still spent her time outside. Rodin secretly told Aerith that Elmyra no longer went to the station but roamed around the slums. She wonders if Clay was wandering the streets because he couldn't go home for some reason. That's what she thinks.
Scene 17
"And then, the night came."
Tifa then nodded quietly next to her.
"My mother, Ifalna, came that night and looked down the corridor with a troubled look on her face. I got out of bed, opened the door and looked down the aisle. I could see the light downstairs. I went down and saw my mother, Elmyra, washing the dishes and scrubbing them clean in the kitchen. I could smell the grass. It had a thick, stuffy smell. I thought I heard voices, and I saw a trooper standing at the door."
Scene 18
Aerith thought that Shinra's soldiers had come to take her away. Startled, he called for Elmyra, but she did not move. Her voice was not heard, and the trooper turned to look at her. Then he took off his helmet. He was the man she had only seen in pictures.
"Clay?"
His face was dirty, and when looked closely, he could be seen covered in mud. He really looked like he had been wandering around a lot.
"Welcome back, Clay."
However, Clay was only just looking around his surroundings and looked like he was unsure where to go. Elmyra didn't notice him, even though the Clay she loves was right over there!
"Mummy!"
Sure enough, she can't hear her.
“Clay!”
Clay closes his eyes tightly and opens them again. He probably thought that this would change the scene in front of him. What was he seeing? He closed and opened them again and rubbed them with the back of his hands repeatedly. He let out a loud sigh and then crouched down at where he stood. Even though she tried to get closer, her legs would not move.
"Clay!"
As expected, Aerith couldn't be heard. Clay sprawled his body on the floor, and it looked like he used all his strength to do so. His lips were moving. Aerith wondered what he was saying and then focused on his consciousness.
“Elmyra, I'm sorry,” Aerith felt that he said that.
"Clay, no! Mummy, please look here!" Aerith yelled.
After that, she woke up. She was on her own bed. However, she firmly believed that it was not a dream. Clay passed away. Moments before his death, his spirit connected with the planet, and he probably went to see the place he had wanted to visit the most before he died. She wondered if he had seen Elmyra.
Aerith got out of bed, went downstairs, and saw Elmyra standing in the kitchen, washing the dishes. There was no longer any unusual smell.
"Mummy."
How should she tell her?
"Mummy, don't cry."
Elmyra turned around with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"A man you really really love just died. His heart came a long way to say goodbye. But he couldn't stay 'cause he had to return to the planet."
Elmyra looked at her in silence.
"Are you saying that Clay is dead?"
"Yes. But, I think he had properly returned to the planet."
"Aerith. Go back to your bed."
There was undeniable anger in her voice. Aerith's chest tightened.
"Mummy..."
"Go back to your bed."
"Clay had returned to the planet. He'll always be connected with you, Mummy. That's why..."
Elmyra forcefully took Aerith in her arms, carried her up the stairs and put her back in bed as if she were luggage. She slammed the door and left, with her anger lingering in the room. Aerith covered herself with her blanket and cried. She wasn't crying because she had angered Elmyra. She was sad that Elmyra could not see Clay.
She felt Ifalna's presence was very close to her. Even though she had her blanket, she knew it was her.
"Mummy..."
She peered out of the blanket and saw a kind face, but Ifalna looked different than usual. Aerith could see the wall through her face, and she could see through Ifalna's body. She looked like Clay just before he disappeared.
"Mummy!"
Aerith jumped up in a panic. Her mother's face blended in with the patterns on the wall. Her lips were moving, and she was saying something, but Aerith couldn't hear anything. She reached out to feel Ifalna, but she lost her balance and fell off the bed. Her whole body hurt, but she bore with it and searched for her mother. Her whole body was disappearing, and her mouth was moving. As expected, she couldn't hear her voice, and she completely disappeared. There was no longer a sign of anyone.
↞↠
The next day was quiet. When Aerith woke up, Elmyra had already left the house. She had prepared a simple meal for her and left a note saying that she would be out until evening before returning home and that she would not have any guests today. Aerith finished her meal and went back upstairs to her room. She opened a drawer from her desk and took out a small pouch. In it, was a white materia that Ifalna had given her. She placed it on the palm of her hand and grasped it tightly. She then felt at ease. That was the only thing that did not change.
In the evening, the door opened quietly. The sound of footsteps, followed by the pull of a chair, can be heard if listened carefully. Aerith concealed her footsteps and headed downstairs. She saw Elmyra sitting at her usual seat at the dining table, sprawled on the table, and could hear her weeping. Elmyra probably noticed Aerith's presence and turned around to look at her. Her eyes were deep red.
"The news came from Shinra. The helicopter he was on crashed into the forest. Because he went away from the crash site, it seems that they discovered him late. He probably tried to exit the forest. Why didn't he just stand by and wait? He was always like that."
"He wanted to see you, Mummy. That's why he walked. He came to see you."
"And then he returned to the Planet? Stop talking about that already."
"But..."
"Why did he return to the Planet! His home is here, isn't it? Shouldn't this be the only place he returns to? That's a reason why he couldn't do that, and because of that, he's dead. No matter what anyone says, Clay's already..."
Elmyra raised her cries and bawled like a child. Aerith chest tightened by the sight of an adult crying.
"But even so, he returned to the Planet! We are connected with the Planet! That's why he'll always be together with you!"
"Aerith, I beg you. Stop it already, please."
"But I lost my Mummy Ifalna too! I won't believe that she didn't return to the Planet, I won't!"
↞↠
Over the next few days, Elmyra and Aerith were companions overcome by grief. They spent their time together, huddled together, and the warmth of each other's body was an antidote that relieved their loneliness. Butch and colleagues took turns to come and check on them after hearing of Clay's death. It seemed that Rodin told his colleagues to deliver Elmyra some food after finding out that Elmyra had even lost the will to do her house chores. Carlo appeared on behalf of Meguro, who was not feeling well. It was Aerith's first time meeting him. He was a tall, thin young man and had black, wet-looking hair combed down backwards. He seemed restless and always had some part of his body moving. Aerith was afraid of him at first because he gave a strong hooligan-like impression, but he was kind to Aerith from the start. To her surprise, Carlo volunteered to do all the house chores. Elmyra disliked him, but she tolerated him coming in and out of the house. Her spirits must have been so low.
A week or so has passed. There was a loud noise of tableware breaking in the kitchen. It did not seem like minor damage. Elmyra and Aerith were upstairs, but they couldn't ignore it and went to take a look at the situation.
Elmyra stared at the vast number of broken fragments scattered about the floor. Carlo drooped his head to the side.
"Is this expensive?"
"I have no idea. These were collected and given by Gabriel when Clay and I first got together."
"That probably isn't cheap... Or should I say, it's perhaps an exceptionally top-grade item? My apologies, Elmyra. I looked in the cupboard and saw a lot of dust... I can’t stand things being dusty, so I couldn't help myself but clean it..."
Elmyra was still staring at the fragments, ignoring Carlo, who was looking at her. Carlo, having given up on words of forgiveness, squatted down and began to pick up the broken pieces.
"Hey, Carlo. Can you go home now?”
"Elmyra," he said in a shameful voice. "Give me a chance."
"It's not that. If you pick up the pieces like that, won't you hurt yourself? I'll clean up afterwards. You go back. I'll talk to Meguro and tell him that you've helped a lot. Yes, that's the truth. You've helped me out."
Carlo's face lit up.
"You are so simple. You have to hide your emotions more to get ahead in this world."
"Ahhh, right."
Carlo slapped himself on the face, and his expression changed.
"Well then, I'll get going now, and call me if anything comes up. And, about the injury on your face, I'm sorry."
"I fell on my own, you know."
"No..." Carlo shook his head in denial. "I don't know how to apologise to Clay otherwise."
His voice was trembling. They looked at Carlo in surprise. He was crying.
"'He was a good man. He was always there for me when I made a fool of myself, scolding me and even connected me to Gabriel. I can't believe he's gone..."
"Hey, don't cry. It isn't cool."
The usual Elmyra was back. Carlo rubbed the area around his eyes with his arm and grinned.
“You too,” he awkwardly remarked and left.
"Well then..." Elmyra said as she looked around the house, "They've cleaned the place pretty well, but it's far off my standards! I'll have to clean the whole house. Aerith. No, Rona. Do you have the energy to help?"
"Yup!"
Aerith was surprised by her own cheerful voice.
Scene 19
"Then we did a major cleanup of the whole house together. Firstly, we cleared the broken fragments, then we opened all the windows and used a feather duster and a broom to get rid of the dust and the tears — Mum loves to clean, she has many brooms and mops in the house. She cut the handle of one of them with a saw for my use. We wiped the house down the next day. Once the house was clean, it was time to remodel the home. We decided to change the curtains in my room and the cover of my bed. It was then that we went shopping for the first time. It was the first time that we went out together.”
Scene 20
They were walking down an alleyway that continued from the front of their house and went past the neighbourhood "Sector 5 House" orphanage. Children around the same age as Aerith leapt out and blocked their way.
"You're Rona, right?", "Rona? She's Rona?", "You're an orphan?" , "Nope, I heard she's an adopted kid. How lucky!", "Come live here!", "How cute...", "Why are you so flashy?"
Aerith was disorientated by the rapid succession of crude remarks pouring down onto her and hid behind Elmyra. She felt uncomfortable because she wasn't addressed by 'Rona' when it was just the both of them back home. After Carlo left, the self-consciousness that she's Rona was also diminishing. She was feeling nervous, and then someone touched her hair from the side. Startled by the suddenness, Aerith let out a small shriek.
"Ayumu, stop it!"
An older boy yelled.
"If you pick on Rona, you'll get in trouble."
"I wasn't picking on her!"
"Yeah, she wasn't. I was just shocked. She isn't a bad kid."
"If that's the case, it's fine, but..."
"No, no, this is not fine." Elmyra butted in. "Jean, who would y'all get in trouble with?"
"Carlo said so."
Elmyra frowned at the reply of Jean, the older boy.
"Did you hear about Rona from Carlo?"
"Yup, that's right. If we make Rona from the Gainsborough household cry, he'll make us cry threefold."
Elmyra let out a sigh.
"Well, Rona, don't be shy. Say hi to them. These kids are from the Sector 5 House. They're like neighbours to us, so be nice to them, okay?"
Aerith was now ready.
"Hello, I'm Rona. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you!" A cheerful voice replied.
"I'm Sarah", "I'm Zoey", "I'm Glad", "I'm Yoko", "This is Ayumu. She's my sister."
Ayumu was the girl who touched her hair.
"'I'm Jean,' said the older boy at last. "You can come and play with us whenever you want."
"Okay, thank you."
"Do you want to play now?"
Ayumu invited her. The children all looked at her with eyes of expectancy, and that tickled Aerith. It was the first time that so many children of the same age, even though it's six of them, were staring at her. When she was at a loss as to how to respond, Elmyra stepped in to help.
"My bad, you all, but we're going shopping today. I'd like Rona to choose lots of things, so I can't leave her here. Please let her play with you all next time."
Elmyra took Aerith by the hand, and after a short distance, she looked back to see the children staring at her. One of the children, who introduced herself as Sarah, waved her tiny hand across her chest. After she waved back, the other children waved wildly in return. What a happy sight, wasn't it? Until they were out of sight, Aerith turned around and continued to wave her hand.
"It seems like you all can get along, doesn't it?"
"Yup!"
Aerith was then introduced to numerous acquaintances of Elmyra, including a café owner and the town doctor. They were all very friendly. Before they parted, Elmyra told them about Clay's death as if it were just another topic. Before they could express any surprise or words of condolences or sympathy, she would add, "I miss him, but having her helps me take my mind off him."
Before the slight smile on their faces faded off, Elmyra would walk away.
"I'm sorry, Aerith, for using this as an excuse to end the conversation. But I don't want to talk too much about Clay. It's probably better for me to talk about it, but for now, let me do this, please."
"Okay. I'm fine with it. But, I'm Rona, right?"
"Ahhh, yes. Rona. Even when it's just the both of us, I'll still have to address you as 'Rona'."
↞↠
It was one week after the introduction of Rona. Aerith was playing with the children in front of the Sector 5 House when she saw Meguro walking down the road. His pure white suit stood out against the earthy-coloured road. She was told earlier that he was coming over to visit and promised Elmyra that she would play at the House until then. A boy, probably around ten years old, was walking behind him. He was wearing relaxed-fitting trousers, a bright white shirt and had a bored look on his face. There was also a girl who walked up behind him. She was wearing a skirt, with the hem almost touching the ground, which was a rarity in the slums. She pinched her area around her thighs, and it looked like she had difficulty walking. She was wearing an ornate blouse and a large hat. With one look, they were three people who appeared to be well off.
"Oh!"
'Rona' (Aerith) understood the meaning of what she was seeing. Even though the impression was that Meguro was coming over alone, that was not the case. He had brought his children with him. In other words, the real Rona had come.
She apologised to her playmates and ran down the road. She then ran through the planked road in the garden and darted into the house.
"'Mummy, it's Mr Meguro. He's with his children. The real Rona is here!"
Elmyra did not seem too disturbed.
"'He didn't tell me that he would be with his children."
"What should we do?
"You mean the name? He isn't a shallow guy. He'll understand. I'm sure he already knows it too."
Meguro first introduced his son, Marcellus, then his daughter, Rona. Rona was looking at Aerith, who was not hiding her curiosity. Meguro then opened his attache case and took out three white flowers. He gives one to Marcellus and the other to Rona. Elmyra looked at the remaining one, which Meguro was holding onto.
"I'm sorry that these flowers are fake, but there's no way I would steal flowers from your garden."
Elmyra nodded and pointed at the photo frame on top of the table. It had a picture of a father and son, Clay and Gabriel, together. They looked as though they were brothers. Meguro and his children placed a flower in front of the picture. They crossed their fingers in front of their chest, put their palms together and closed their eyes. Aerith wondered what they were doing, and she looked at them with her mouth agape. Eventually, they opened their eyes and looked at Meguro. Aerith hurriedly closed her mouth.
"Is it unusual to pray? I'm old-fashioned, so this is how I convey my thoughts to the dead."
"Can you actually convey your thoughts?"
Marcellus snorted after she asked, and he probably felt fear the next moment as Meguro glared at him. Aerith glanced at Rona for a moment. Their eyes met, and Rona smiled.
"That's what I believe, and the important thing is to believe. Gabriel used to tell me often that it is the foundation of everything."
Elmyra was listening, and she quietly nodded.
"Well, Elmyra. I would have immediately come over, but my body didn't allow me to," Meguro said apologetically.
"It's alright. You sent Carlo over, didn't you? He really helped me out."
"How was Carlo?"
"He worked as though he was a different person, I can't help but wonder if something strange happened.”
"Clay was someone he adored dearly like his own brother, you know. I think he wanted to repay Clay by helping you out. He probably was so aggressive towards you all the time because he didn't like that you took him away from him, Elmyra.
"That's childish of him. Nope, I was the same as him too. Clay always took Carlo with him when he goes out for the night,  and I can't tell you how many times I've complained about it."
"Hey, I'm thirsty," Marcellous muttered to his father. He was pouting.
"What should you do if you're thirsty?"
The boy looked annoyed for a moment, but he quickly realised what he should do and asked Elmyra for a drink.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't notice. I'll be right with you."
As Elmyra was preparing the drinks, Rona came running up to Aerith.
"I was born in March. What month were you born in Aerith?
"I was born in February."
"Ahhh, so you're only a month older than I am."
"She's not Aerith. She's Rona, isn't she? She stole your name," Marcellus condemned.
"I don't mind at all, okay?" Rona uttered with a smile.
She truly didn't seem to mind. However, there was a premise amongst everyone that Aerith stole her name. Aerith felt pain in her breathing as if her heart had been clenched."
"About that..."
Elmyra was carrying a tray of lemonade. She handed them out to everyone, interrupting Aerith.
"Meguro, I was thinking of a new name for Aerith at your suggestion, but I didn't decide on it properly, and Aerith had to introduce herself suddenly. And at that time, she replied 'Rona' on the spur of the moment."
"After I heard from Mr Meguro about Rona, I wondered what she was like. I wondered if I could meet her and wondered whether we could get along. I kept thinking about Rona, so I said her name."
"It's my fault that I didn't control the situation properly. Since the word has been spread across the neighbourhood, may we leave her name like that?"
Meguro gave a composed nod.
"Of course. There shouldn't be an issue."
"I'm happy about it!" Rona's voice lit up. "After all, you liked the name, didn't you? My mama thought up the name 'Rona' and named me that."
"But she died after giving birth to you, though."
Marcellus struck his sister in the shoulder, and the expression on Rona's face completely went away.
"Marcellus, if you blame Rona for that again, I'll throw you out of the house," Meguro declared with a low voice.
"Okay." Marcellus nodded. He looked like he was sulking.
He was foaming and playing with the lemonade, blowing it through a straw inserted in the glass. He was having fun gushing the lemonade out from the glass and getting the table wet. It's going to be tough getting along with this boy, Aerith thought. But Elmyra trusts Meguro, and that was his son. She decided to make peace with it all and went ahead with it.
"Then we will also..." Meguro uttered, "address you as Rona, not Aerith. It's important to make a habit of these things regularly."
"Rona, nice to meet you," said the real Rona.
"Nice to meet you, Rona," Aerith replied. "Marcellus, nice to meet you too."
There was no response.
"Okay, children. We have some business to attend to, so you all can go outside and play. Only in the garden, though. Don't go into the alley."
"Understood."
Marcellus replied firmly and drank his lemonade in one gulp. Rona imitated him in a hurry and Aerith also did so, but she choked and spilled some on the table. Elmyra laughed and pressed her to go off quickly.
When they went out into the garden, they saw Jean and his friends from Sector 5 House watching them from the garden entrance.
"'Pathetic orphans!” Marcellus spat and waved at them.
"'Hey~!”
"What should we do, big brother? Orphans are scary."
"We don't have to worry since we've got a powerful dad."
The conversation between them made Aerith nervous. She had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen.
"Come on, y'all!" Marcellus called out for them in a cheerful voice.
"Is it alright if we come over?" Jean asks again.
"Of course. Let's play 'Tickling Ogre'."
"What's that? We don't know what that is."
Jean came into the garden accompanied by a group of children from the Sector 5 House. There were around two or three faces Aerith didn't recognize.
“It's a game that's popular in the Sector 4 Slums. Ahh, you all won't know that since you all live in an orphanage.”
Aerith did not overlook the gloominess that dwelled in Jean's eyes. But Ayumu was still young and unaware of Marcellus' malicious intent.
"Sounds interesting! Can you teach us how to play 'Tickling Ogre'? Hey, what're your names?" asked Ayumu.
"I'm Marcellus."
"I'm Rona."
The siblings introduced themselves. Aerith braced herself nervously.
"Ehhh? There are two Ronas!" Ayumu looked at Jean with an amazed look on her face.
"It's not a rare coincidence," Jean replied with a know-it-all look.
"It's a coincidence, alright."
Marcellus said in a low voice and looked triumphantly at Aerith.
"She stole the name of my little sister over here. Her real name is Aerith. She's Aerith, the name thief. Right?"
There was a grin on Marcellus' face. All the children who were there looked at Aerith.
"I'm not a thief! I'm not a thief!
"All thieves say that," Marcellus, who has finally shown his true colours, mocked her.
"Stop it, big brother!" Rona pleaded, but Marcellus didn't seem to hear her.
"I'm not a thief!"
That was the only thing she did not want to admit.
"Name thief."
"I'm not!"
Her voice was hoarse. She thought to herself that she should not cry, but tears rolled out of her eyes.
"I'm not!"
"You're an orphan, aren't you? You know what? You suit being at an orphanage. But you went into Clay's house. How clever!” Marcellus showed his disgust.
"Shut up!"
Someone rammed himself into Marcellus. It was Jean. With a short period of anguish, Marcellus falls on his back. Another boy pinned Marcellus down. His name was X. He doesn't usually play with the others much and instead helps the teachers. He was a small boy, but he must have been three or four years older than Aerith.
"Stop it! Get out of the way!"
"Don't make fun of the House!" X shouted.
"Shabby orphans, poverty-stricken orphans," Marcellus' abusive language did not stop.
"Fight! Fight!" the girls cheered on.
The children's violence made Aerith cower in fear.
"Stop it!" Rona shouted. "Big brother, apologise to them!"
X grabbed the collar of Marcellus' shirt and shook him.
"The first one that should apologise is Aerith! She's the name thief."
Marcellus did not give in. Jean looked down the alley and then at the door of the Gainsborough house.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I used Rona's name without her permission."
"You used it without her permission? Tell them you stole it!
"That's not true."
X slapped Marcellus on the cheek.
"Stop it!"
Aerith felt as though she had been struck. She did not feel like standing up for Marcellus, but she felt this was too much.
"Stop it, X.”
"Not unless he apologises. I can't forgive him for making a fool of us and the House.”
"Apologise!"
X shouted and was about to strike him again.
"Aerith first!"
Aerith wanted it to be over.
"I'm sorry. I stole Rona's name. I'm sorry, Rona. I'm sorry, Marcellus."
She was in tears. Jean moved and helped X up to his feet. Marcellus, now free, staggered to his feet.
"Hmm. You finally admit it."
There was a trickle of blood oozing from the cut on his mouth. His whole body was trembling. He looked as if he was doing his best to keep up a bold front.
"You're next. Apologise for insulting our House."
Marcellus slowly looked at Jean, then at the children of the House.
Then he grinned...
"Poverty-stricken orphanage!"
Firstly, Jean, X and the children whose names she did not know because it was the first time she saw them, jumped onto Marcellus one after another. Another fight had begun. Rona then let out a scream and ran to the Gainsborough house. That was it! She should have called for help from the start! Aerith also chased after Rona. Just as Rona was about to put her hand on the door, it opened, and Meguro appeared. He understood the situation at an instant.
"Hey!"
It was an angry voice that sounded like it gushed from the depths of the earth. Aerith could not imagine Meguro other than what he usually was, and she shuddered. The same was for the children who were fighting. Elmyra was astonished as she appeared by the doorway. Leaving Aerith, Rona and Elmyra behind, Meguro shortened the distance between him and the children.
"Run!" either Jean or X shouted.
The children of the House quickly disappeared into the alley. Meguro grabbed Marcellus by the ear as he stood there and brought him back to the Gainsborough house. Marcellus stumbled along, exclaiming that it hurt.
"I'm seriously fed up with you."
"They came into the garden. I tried to chase them away, but they started it."
"That's the reason for your actions?"
"It was firstly Aerith's fault."
"It has been settled. Rona and I gave her permission. It has nothing to do with you."
"But...!"
"You have to be smarter than that! How many times do I have to tell you for you to understand? Listen, Marcellus. You don't have a mother. Whenever you mess up, they'll say it's because you don't have a mother. You'll be smearing mud on the face of your mother and me, you understand?" Meguro continued to pull Marcellus's ear while scolding him.
"Meguro, that's about time to stop it."
Elmyra could not keep watching this and gently pressed down Meguro's hand.
"Yeah, I know."
Meguro then let go of Marcellus' ear―
"Aerith, I'm sorry. Please forgive Marcellus. He's a moron, but he did what he did because he thought of his little sister. Please forgive him for Rona's and my sake."
Marcellus was behind Meguro, glaring at her. Aerith was okay to accept whatever conditions so that she could put an end to this mess now.
"It's okay. It's my fault. I'm really sorry."
Aerith faced Meguro, Marcellus and Rona and apologised to them individually. Lastly, she looked up at Elmyra, and she gave her a tiny nod.
"Well then, Elmyra. Let's finish up the job. Rona and Aerith, you can go inside. Marcellus, you'll stay here and reflect."
Once inside the house, Aerith was looking out of the window at Marcellus. She wondered if that was what monsters were like. Soon it was time for Meguro and the others to leave.
"I'll stop by the orphanage to warn them. They are not to enter the Gainsborough garden. And if anything happens to Aerith... no... Rona, the orphanage may disappear. I probably should nail that into them that much."
"No, Meguro. I'll talk to them. I'm very close to the adults there. I'd like to keep things peaceful."
"...Well, if you like it that way, then it's fine. It's your property. But if you ever need my face, feel free to turn to me. Don’t need to hesitate."
He was no longer the kind-looking gentleman that Aerith met at first. That was a front for the children.
While she was vaguely thinking about that, Rona ran up to her and whispered, "My name, I'll let you use it, okay? You're special, Aerith."
Rona was both kind and cruel.
Scene 21
"Hey, is the Sector 5 House that Jean and the others were from, different from the Leaf House?"
Tifa, who had been listening in silence, raised the question.
"It's the same, it's the same. If I recall correctly, the 'Lower Class Sector 5 House' was the official name, and Sector 5 House was the common name. That name was changed to the 'Leaf House'. I didn't know it at the time, but there was a rumour that its proprietors were selling kids away."
"Ehhh!?"
"It seems that neither the children nor teachers knew about it. Negotiations were then held with the house's proprietors by X, and he bought the house over. He was one of the kids that stood up against Marcellus and had grown up."
"I see. There was a fellow Avalanche member who had been aiding the orphanage he was raised in, so I thought he was related to this, but it seems like it's different..."
Tifa looked disappointed.
"Biggs?"
"You know him!?"
"I never met him, but a lot of the teachers and kids were talking about him. He was respected... ahhh!?"
Due to shock, Aerith's voice unconsciously became louder.
"X is Biggs!"
"What do... you mean?"
"He didn't have a name because he was picked up as a baby. So the people in the House decided to call him 'X' until his name was decided. He liked the alias, and he kept calling himself 'X'. He declared that he would give himself the best name one day."
When the kids at the House found out that Aerith's name 'Rona' was fake, the reactions were mixed. But only X, talked about the situation about his name and consoled her. It was better to decide one’s name on one’s own.
Aerith saw Tifa's eyes welling up.
"Amazing, Biggs... You were amazing... I have to tell Barret about this too." ↞↠ You’re on page 93/142 of Aerith’s segment of the Light Novel. to be continued Next Scenes: Scenes 22-27 Previous Scenes: Scenes 10-14 Back to Content Page (click/tap here) follow @istanleyff7​ on twitter for updates support the TOTP translation project financially here (click/tap here)

Robin Hood and His Merry Band
list of characters for an original series I’m working on 
Alan-a-Dale - the gloomy and cynical bard, the grumpy voice of reason who doesn’t give a fuck, wonders why he hangs out with these crazies, knows it’s cause they’re family to him but won’t admit it out loud, besties with Friar Tuck even though they never agree on anything, is clearly a bi disaster 
The Archdeacon of Canterbury - The aging head cleric of the church of England. He supports King Richard but is becoming increasingly impotent because of his failing health. Still holds a lot of political power because of his title though.
The Azure Assassin - A deadly mercenary and rival to Robin Hood. Orphaned at a young age Azure had to steal to survive. She stowed away on a pirate ship at the age of ten and has spent the pass eight years studying fighting techniques the world over. They call her the Azure Assassin because her blue eyes are the last thing you’ll see before dying. She’s gained a modest fortune and fame as a spy and assassin, however she can never stay in one play too long due to her reputation getting out. Prince John has offered her a pardon and a place in high society if she brings in Robin Hood’s head. Shame she’s fallen in love with his brother Will Scarlet, as that complicates matters.  
The Bishop of Hereford - Conservative asshole who supports Prince John’s rule and shares his beliefs on ‘bringing order to the kingdom’. Wants to usurp the Archdeacon as the head of the church. Is Friar Tuck’s and Sister Clara’s arch nemesis.
Dame Brianna DuBois - Also known as the The Black Knight, DuBois is loyal to the throne of England and whoever sits upon it. She’s Prince John’s personal bodyguard and unbeknownst to all a double agent for King Richard who is in hiding. However she is conflicted when her duty places her lover Yua in jeopardy. Yes, she’s totally a butch lesbian.   
The Duke of Essex - Prince John’s adviser and right hand man. He only cares for power for power’s sake but is sneaky and conniving and willing to play the long game to get it. He prefers poison to swords, but is surprisingly good at hand to hand combat when cornered. Has a pet snake. It’s the only living thing that he loves.    
Elenore of England - Prince John and King Richard’s sister and Maid Marian’s mother. She died when negotiations during a worker dispute turned violent. Unable to quell the people’s rage, she was stuck down during a riot. Richard, blaming himself for losing his temper and causing things to escalate has since tried to follow in her footsteps and become peacemaker. Prince John went the opposite route and blamed the ungrateful peasants (criminals in his mind) and resented Richard for even bothering to negotiating in the first place.   
Friar Tuck - The jovial and optimistic heart of the team. He tries to keep everyone’s spirits up and believes that helping people is the ultimate expression of god’s love. Is a hopeless romantic and also very, very gay. He butts heads with more traditional leaders of the church often. He also has a not so secret crush on his best friend Alan. 
Guy of Gisbourne - From pauper to nobleman, Guy is Robin’s opposite in everyway. He crawled up from the bottom rung by using and stepping on others and he’s always looking for the opportunity to climb the ranks. Don’t let his foppish ways fool you though, he is both a cunning and ruthless foe and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. His latest scheme however is to marry Maid Maiden and become next in line for the throne as Prince John has no other heirs save his ward.  
King Richard - Good Richard the Lionhearted is no longer a bloodthirsty crusader in this alternate universe but a peacemaker. He wishes to end wars, not start them, however his more abrasive, uncouth, and impulsive nature can often clash with his loftier goals. Many feel the king would do better to stay at home and tend to domestic matters instead of concerning himself with the conflicts of other far off lands. At the start of the story he has disappeared on one of his diplomatic visits. In reality Prince John has stuck a deal with the king’s enemies and he is currently on the run. 
Lady Tiffany - Little John’s little wife and the daughter of the Sherriff of Nottingham. She acts as the gang’s ‘man on the inside’ helping Robin Hood sneak in and out of places and feeding the team needed information. She’s stubborn and spoiled but also very kind hearted. She usually can get her father to give into her demands with just a pout and when that doesn’t work a full on tantum will do. She a woman who knows what she wants and what she wants is her man. Unfortunately daddy dreariest would never approve of their union and so Friar Tuck marries them in secret.  
Little John - Robin’s best friend and right hand man. He’s a simple man who loves life’s simple pleasures, good food, good friends, and a good brawl from time to time. He adores his partner, Tiffany and would like nothing more than to marry her for real, in a real church, in front of the whole world. However their relationship must remained hidden from her father, the Sheriff, since the violent lawman would sooner see him hanged then have a thief for a son-in-law.  
Lord Locksley - Robin’s and Will’s father. He is arrested for ‘not paying taxes’ but in reality it’s for supporting King Richard and secretly helping the displaced monarch. His arrest leads to Robin and Will becoming outlaws and the series kicks off two years later.   
Maid Marian - Prince John’s ward and niece. Her mother died when she was young and her beloved uncle adopted her. Prince John is the only parent she’s ever known and she at first believes him to be a kind and just man. She’s completely oblivious of Prince’s John’s underhanded dealings and oppression of the poor and at first is skeptical of Robin Hood. However as the two grow closer, Marian learns how harsh the real world is and just how much her father figure has lied to her. 
Miss Yua - Maid Marian’s lady-in-waiting and best friend. She’s the daughter of Sir Ivanhoe and longs to be a knight as well. She’s a stickler for rules and doesn’t trust Robin Hood and his gang of thieves. At first anyways, over time she too learns of Prince John’s cruelty and even becomes a victim of the tyrant’s schemes. Which puts her in direct conflict with her love, Brianna DuBois.  
Much the Miller's Son - born as Midge the miller’s daughter, the young Much longs to be accepted as a boy. As such he’s ditched his dresses, cut his hair, and ran away to Sherwood Forrest in order to be free from society’s expectations. The rest of the merry band accepts Much for who he really is, but at only 13 won’t let him join their gang. He still winds up caught up in their misadventures anyways due to his refusal to listen to anybody, and his determination to get away from his overbearing mother. 
Nurse Agnes - Maid Marian’s wet nurse and the closest thing to a mother that she has. Agnes believes in the ‘old ways’ and is very superstitious. She’s also very critical of royalty in general, but is smart enough not to say so out loud. She’s tried to raise Marian into a better person than Prince John, but eventually was dismissed once Marian had come of age. Since leaving the court Agnes has become the witch of the woods and a healer for the poor. 
Prince John - The main antagonist. Prince John believes that he needs to bring order to the kingdom of England and feels like his brother King Richard has neglected his duties as ruler and placed the kingdom in danger. He'll do whatever it takes to protect the country including subjecting it’s undesirables.  
Robin Hood - Leader of the Merry Band and archer extraordinaire, Robin Hood had to go on the lam when his father was arrest for ‘treason’. While his first priority was to keep his baby brother, Will, safe, the two of them met other outcasts in need over the years have built up an underwound network of rebels who fight against Prince John’s rule. Seemingly suave and cool at first, Robin is actually a bundle of nerves as he tries desperately to keep his friends and family safe...even if it’s mostly from themselves. His world is turned upside down though when he meets the lovely Maid Marian. 
Sheriff of Nottingham - The spiteful and cruel sheriff tries to keep the small town of Nottingham under his thumb. He hates Robin Hood and his Merry Band with a passion and sees their continued exitance as a personal insult. The only thing that will deter him from his goal of putting those outlaws in their place is his devotion to his beloved daughters Tiffany. Who distracts him with her seemingly impulsive and shallow whims.   
Sir Ivanhoe - A respected knight who once served under King Richard has returned home only to find that his king has not made the journey back as planned. He suspects that Prince John is up to no good, but is afraid to make any risky moves so long as his daughter Yua lives among the court. Her safety is the most important thing in the world to him. 
Sister Clara - The resident nerd of Sherwood Forrest and the brains of the team. Clara had joined a convent in order to receive an education and to study science, however her experiments were frowned upon by more traditional leaders of the church, like the Bishop of Hereford. She’s since renounced her monastic vows and has joined Robin Hood’s Merry Band in the pursuit of science! She’s allowed free rein on the sole condition that she doesn’t blow up the camp.  She still manages to blow up the camp, at least once a month. Still her inventions are invaluable to the team and she’s absolutely feral with her chim-bombs.  
The Trapper - A mysterious hermit who sometimes visits the local pub. He’ll often corner patrons with crazy drunken ramblings and loves to give Robin cryptic prophecies and disjoined ‘clues’ whenever they run into each other. (turns out this is an act and he’s really a spy for King Richard)
Will Scarlett - Robin’s younger brother. Will was 15 when they lost their father and now at 17 wants revenge. He’s a hothead and is constantly picking fights with everyone and anyone. While he is dismissive of Robin’s overprotectiveness, he both loves and admires his brother. Even tries to emulate him in some ways. He also would like to think of himself as a smooth talking clever con artist and ladies man but more often then not his temper gets the better of him. Like most teens he’s obsessed with the latest fashion tends and loves to wear fancy clothes (that he’s usually stolen) He’s favorite article of clothing is his impractical red feathered hat. He’s in love with Azure and is best friends with Much.

Chapter 1
Parker Ainsworth, Butch Walker, paris jackson, Jessie Payo -
Running For So Long (House A Home)
It was a warm waning July in the yard, the air was warm and fragrant, it absorbed all the smells of flowering plants.
Eden, she had to get up at four o'clock in the morning to get to the place she needed at least in the evening, she was going to the center of the union of Elysium. It was hard to leave my village, but I wanted to see my sister more.
The sun was just beginning to throw the first rays, Eden was already standing on the road and waiting for some truck that would take her to her destination. An elderly grandfather, a milkman, was going there to sell his products. When he saw a blonde girl in a summer dress with a small bag, he slowed down:
-Eden, where are you going so early? - having lowered the window, the kind old man asked.
- I need to go to the city, - the little blonde dissipated into smiles, - will you give me a ride? she seemed to glow with happiness.
- Are you going to your sister's? Milkman asked, nodding.
Eden simply nodded her head positively in response, not holding back a happy smile.
- Sit down, - he nodded to an empty seat next to him, a young private was riding with him, naturally for protection, few evil spirits would want to taste milk or something more satisfying.
The three of them were traveling, and there was nowhere without talking, the soldier found out that Eden was going to his sister's cadet camp to join the ranks of the valiant guardians of humanity.
She asked to be dropped off at the intersection before entering the wall of Elysia, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon and unbearably hot, the sun was burning fiercely. Eden was dropped off at a military post, he certainly had military men who were flattered that such a pretty girl was left alone with a crowd of adult men.
- Excuse me, - Eden said, coming closer to the men, - but how do I get to the northern cadet camp? They
were a little taken aback, they did not expect that she was going there, they thought she came to visit her beloved and one of the brave men decided to talk to a pretty girl:
- Why would you go there? - he asked with a laugh, - are you going to visit your beloved? he glanced at the crowd of men, who burst out laughing.
-No, I'm going to become a private, she replied sternly and enthusiastically.
-You're Margot, - the soldier asked thoughtfully, with a note of disgust, - yes?
Not me with a stern face, Eden nodded to him.
-Got it, - he replied in frustration, - follow me, - he nodded to Eden at the entrance to a small building.
He led her into the structure, handed her a neatly folded form, she silently knitted it.
-Your sister, - the private began to say through his teeth, - is a bitch, - he saw fit to say it.
- Why? - Eden didn't have time to turn away from him.
-Because, - he paused dramatically, -Ell himself was here, - he said wearily.
Eden's eyes widened in shock.
- Yeah, we fucked up too, - the soldier said turning to the door, then he went out and closed the door behind him.
Eden began to change into a dirty gray uniform. When she finished dressing, she put her dress in her bag, this was the last time she wore a dress not on orders, she left the small house.
And already another soldier:
- Where are you going, beauty? - everyone in the camp considered it necessary to say something to her.
-The Northern Cadet Corps, - she replied.
- Sit down, I'll give you a lift, - he nodded, - but not to the building, next to it, you won't be walking for long.
-Okay, - Eden nodded back.
She was taken to the crossroads, the cutie had to walk all the way to the camp.
She arrived at the camp on the last day of the gathering. Entering the territory of the cadet corps, she saw a lot of guys and girls, some were dressed in uniform, some were not, some were escorted by their parents, and some, like Eden, were nobody. She was not uncomfortable, she was preparing herself for this day, so everything that could happen for her was expected.
With her eyes, she was looking for a single head, rising on tiptoes, and
becoming taller above the crowd by about how much, she could not see anything, but then the crowd parted and Eden beamed with a smile when she saw her sister, she was talking to someone, but for Eden it was not important. She ran into her sister and began to strangle her, hugging her, she did not have time to understand anything, but hugged back.
Releasing her sister, the tall girl turned her swamp-colored eyes to Eden and asked:
- How did you get there?
- Okay, continuing to hug her sister around the waist, Eden replied, - Si, I missed you, - closing her eyes, continued to hug her sister Eden.
In response, Cicely leaned Eden's head against her chest and kissed the top of her head.
Then on the speakerphone announced the gathering of recruits in the training hall, Siliya listened, and after listening to the appeal, he began to call for cadets to be built and led the cadets to the designated place, it was beginning to get dark.
Talk Dirty (feat. 2 Chainz) - Jason Derulo feat. 2 Chainz
Entering the training room, Eden's eyes were presented with a huge room with a high ceiling. The room was divided into two parts, despite the high ceiling, a bridge ran through the middle, bordering the room, doors opened onto the bridge, probably these were the captains' rooms. A staircase descended from the left side, and there at the top, people began to appear one by one, first there was a tall girl with dark hair, a good physique and a serious expression on her face:
This is Captain Mirana green Tormund would be great if you go to her, and even though she is strict, but with understanding, - enthusiastically said Cecilia, floor whisper in ear, his younger sister, and then in the middle there appeared a tall and broad-shouldered man, pretty face and Captain Aaron Ell...
-You're his assistant, right? - I distracted my sister a little from Eden's story.
..- yes, this is my captain, there is no better in the world, of course, for a girl, a girl will be better for a girl, but if not Green-Tormund, then Ell is also quite suitable, he is very sincere, he will listen first before he starts yelling, - Sicilia rattled without interrupting her breath.
Boney M. - Rasputin (slow) V2
- And who is this? Eden asked with undisguised curiosity.
-Oh, this is Captain Henry Axelman, he's the best soldier here, - Cecilia spoke of him with admiration and a note of contempt.
On the bridge, to the right of Captain Ell, a medium-sized man appeared, with a terribly contemptuous look, it was not clear what color his eyes were, but dark hair and white skin of the face went well together. He looked at everyone with such disgust that it didn't hurt who wanted to fall out of favor with him.
They were all dressed in a broadcloth jacket, probably it was weekend jackets, dark brown in color, on which dark buttons glittered, it was not long and ended just below the waist, and on the right shoulder, the surname and initials were embroidered, there were also badges denoting the rank of this or that captain and the squad to which the captain belonged, the captains were also wearing white trousers that were not loose, in their profession it was dangerous to have loose clothes, that's why the pants were narrow, but everyone had a size. The two captains also had leather berets on their feet, Captain Axelman had boots made of thin light leather that reached to the knee, and had a cutout at the back so that they could bend the knee, and in front they covered the knee from the damaging factor, Captain Axelman did not like unnecessary risk and was always ready to fight.
When he appeared on the bridge, all the cadets began to whisper, Eden heard some excerpts: "war hero", "Axelman", "so attractive".
- Many girls fall in love with him at a glance, - after hearing the conversations, Si picked up, - I don't know about novels, but Axelman doesn't twist with anyone, - Si began to warn her sister, - this spoils his "authority", and pays no attention to anyone, the feeling that he loves only murder and only his reflection in the mirror, but who knows maybe it is, - Si
shrugged.
While her sister was babbling, Eden looked at him and thought: "How can you love such an arrogant face? Ugh, never."
He looked at the cadets with a glance and disappeared into one of the rooms again, at this point, and Sicilia left Eden, since her job was to always be with her captain.
When the briefing was over, Eden stood and waited for her sister, but she did not come alone, but with Captain Ell.
- Captain, let me introduce you, this is Eden Margot, - Cece jumped up to Eden, and pointed at Eden with her hand, - my younger sister, - said Cicilia with the same wild delight.
-I've heard a lot about you, Eden, - he held out his hand to shake hers.
- I wonder what you've heard about me, - she stretched out her hand to meet the captain's hand, and blushed slightly, because who knows what will come to this half-witted Si's head.
-Nothing decent, only good, - he shook her hand firmly.
She smiled and shook back.
- You have a good handshake, - his tone was surprised, because Eden did not seem strong in appearance, - strong, - he was pleasantly surprised.
Then there was dinner, dinner, as it turned out, all together and the highest ranks and those who just got here.
During the time from the briefing to dinner, Eden managed to meet a guy, his name was Steve Bruno, he was quite tall and well-built, dark hair and eyes could fool any girl.
It was with this guy that Eden sat at the table, they discussed what awaits them in the following days, what tortures the captains are preparing for them.
Then there was free time, then Eden realized that she did not have enough beds in the common barracks (the barracks looked the same as the training hall, there were rooms on top apparently for captains and big shots, and the common room was for cadets), Eden informed her sister about this, of course, Sisilia dragged Eden directly to Captain Ella, he had the highest rank among all captains, the poet was to him.
In the office, Ell was not alone with him, there was also Captain Axelman, who in turn only measured both girls with his contemptuous gaze. When the girls flew into the office, which was in the same barracks where Eden was supposed to live, Ell turned his whole body in their direction, ready to listen and solve the problem, Eden's face turned the color of sunset again, and Sicilia began to explain the situation that had happened.
I sincerely hope that you enjoyed what you read! Thank you for your attention!

Birthday Headcanons!
So my birthday was technically May 23...which is over a month ago 🙈 but for my birthday I wanted to type these headcanons up. Honestly each of these have no real connection to each other except I’ve just thought of them over time, but I just thought these would be fun to read. So I hope you enjoy them as much as I have when writing these up! 😁

Billie Dean Howard
This filming trip has been a nightmare for Billie. She hardly got any content for her show, her rental car broke down while driving back to the hotel after a whole night of filming, and the next day rather than calling the rental car company, her assistant calls some local mom and pop garage to fix it.
So rather than taking the risk of having her assistant screw something else up, Billie goes to the garage herself. And she is sure that the mechanic will charge her more since she’s both a celebrity and a single woman with no one to back her up.
When the medium gets there the garage is completely devoid of any other people and the only sign of someone here is the radio blasting from the garage. So, after seeing absolutely no one for five minutes, she decides to just walk into the working area fully annoyed at the terrible service.
 Fortunately, she hears the man whistling to the music and struts over to see him working underneath the car. However, Billie interrupts his moment, loudly clearing her throat and saying excuse me in the snippiest tone she can muster. That makes him stop whistling and roll out from under the car.
 But Billie is shocked that this mechanic is no man. Oh no, you are a gorgeous woman even with smears of grease and dirt on your face and clothes. And this is the moment Billie realizes the appeal of butches.
When you roll out from under the car you assume this gorgeous woman is Billie judging by her fancy appearance and get up to introduce yourself. However, as you reach out to shake her hand you remember how dirty you are and back up, so you don’t get something on her clothes.
While Billie was filled with anger just minutes ago at her car being fixed, now she’s both surprised and unexpectedly aroused. You turn down the radio, knowing it’s obnoxiously loud and tell her you contacted the rental car company and they’re covering the cost of repairs, but you won’t be able to finish tonight so she’ll have to wait until tomorrow to drive the repaired car.
Then you throw out the offer in your own desire to see her that you have a spare room if her hotel reservation doesn’t have an extra night. Before you can even finish your sentence, Billie says yes and you would be lying if you denied your own joy at that.
So you tell her you’ll be done in a couple hours and ask if she wants to be dropped off somewhere while you work. But Billie says no. So you set out a clean chair for her to sit in before going back to work.
As you work you ask Billie what she’s doing in a small town like this. So she tells you about her TV show and when you find out she’s a medium you ask about it. At first Billie is hesitant to keep talking, but you assure her you love hearing her talk about her career.
So she tells you about everything—from her career to her checkered past and future desires. And in the process, she ends up sharing things about her life she’s never told anyone. But for some reason she just trusts you and doesn’t feel condemned or judged because of what she says.
The two hours fly by, but you’ve made substantial progress and tell Billie she should be able to head back home before noon tomorrow. However, after meeting you she is not so eager to leave anymore.
When wrapping up your work, you go through closing the garage and Billie observes you the whole time. You notice her checking you out as you walk around and work, but don’t mind. In fact you can’t help but check her too. 
Then you lead her out to your old pickup truck and quickly clean out the passenger side while apologizing for your messy car. But she doesn’t seem bothered. She’s too occupied with you to notice anything else.
As you drive home, you ask if she minds music and Billie says no. So you turn on the radio to a classic rock station. Then you absentmindedly start to sing along and Billie nearly swoons at the whole thing. No one has ever had this effect on her before. She’s supposed to be the one who makes others swoon. Not the other way around…But she likes it.
When you get to your home you coyly explain you need to take a shower before making dinner. But you mention that you don’t mind if she joins. Let’s just say...Billie jumps on the opportunity (and you) and even though she wasn’t that dirty, Billie takes special joy in washing you off and massaging away any tension or soreness you have.
After taking a shower that’s long enough for the water to run cold, you both step out and since Billie doesn’t have extra clothes you offer one of your old, oversized Harley Davison shirts to wear. Seeing her only wearing your shirt that falls about mid-thigh on her does things to you and when she sees you so effected she starts to get bold in her flirting too.
In the end you warm up some cheap, frozen meal that’s nothing fancy, but the whole time you’re getting it together, Billie is wrapped around you, hugging you from behind or your side earning the nickname “spider monkey.” When you actually sit to eat both of you watch the other closely with shared grins and small giggles. Then cleaning up is super easy with Billie’s help and you head over to your living room.
You sit in your recliner as usual and Billie pauses for a moment looking between you and the couch. But her eyes linger on you longer and seeing the debate in her head leads you to hold out your hand toward her, offering a solution. She takes it with a smile and you guide her to sit on your lap.
Once again she’s used to being the caretaker, but is glad to let someone else take the lead and easily cuddles into you as the tv plays. And although now words are spoken, the way you hold her in a warm embrace makes Billie no longer regret this trip. In fact, she may stay a couple more days if it means being with you.

 Lana Winters
While you and Lana can’t get married or have an official wedding in the 1970s, you solidify your relationship by buying a house together.
It’s an old, cottage-like home without any prying neighbors around to spy on you both. When you first enter the home, in your excitement you pick Lana up and carry her bridal style across the threshold for the first time.
While you have the keys to the house, there’s still a lot of work to do to the point that it’s not livable yet. So you and Lana take the time to look around the home deciding how to decorate and design your home. Then you begin to clean the house.
Both of you work hard on dusting, vacuuming, and wiping down every surface in your home leaving you both sore. Luckily when you return to the apartment you currently live in both of you take a nice hot bath to soothe your sore muscles. And it’s good to just spend time relaxing together.
Once you finish cleaning, you work on painting and decorating each room with different vibrant colors. Fortunately, Lana brings her radio so you can both listen to music while painting. But it’s still exhausting work and leaves you crabby sometimes if you go too long without a break.
So when Lana notices you starting to look worn out or tired, she’ll set down her paint-roller before guiding you to set yours down. Then she’ll pull you into a spontaneous dance. Sometimes it’s slow and relaxed, and other times the music is fun and upbeat. Either way it does help you to feel better.
Even though both of you aren’t conventionally attractive at the moment, you have never felt more attracted to Lana with her barefaced, thoroughly worn overalls with paint speckled on them, and a simple ponytail. And she loves seeing you like this too, finding something about simple domesticity to be beautiful. 
The day you and Lana are finished painting, you start to pack up all of your belongings and slowly move them over to the house. It takes 5 trips between the places and even then you have the unfortunate realization that your mattress won’t fit into your car. So after wrestling with the bed for over an hour to no avail, you both are spent and give up.
Thankfully, Lana is a literal angel and when she sees you on the verge of tears, she runs out to bring home food from your favorite diner. And as she enters with the food you nearly cry in happiness. Then you eat your first meal on the floor since your table is covered in boxes.
After dinner before you can even ask, Lana guides you to climb into her lap and holds you close to her while you both take a moment to rest and listen to the radio. Even though you still have to set up your home it’s such a good feeling having everything here...well almost everything.
Because you couldn’t bring the bed over, you’re stuck with figuring out another option. So you unpack your blankets and pillows before laying them out on your carpeted floor in the living room.
Then you and Lana take a shower to unwind from the day and change into your pajamas. And even though it isn’t quite dark yet you slide under the covers and cuddle into each other, completely exhausted.
Once you’re settled you are finally able to hear the outside noises and it’s so different compared to ambient city sounds and you’ve never stayed out in the countryside before. So with each animal sound or gust of wind you perk up and grip on her while whisper asking if Lana heard it too.
She chuckles at your reaction and soothes that you’re safe with her. And to give you a small distraction from the eerie silence you talk about future house plans and keep softly talking until you both naturally fall asleep.
While you’re on the floor and it’s nowhere near as comfortable as your bed, you both sleep like rocks from working hard all day and end up getting more than 8 hours of sleep with no nightmares to haunt Lana’s dreams. 
The next morning you wake up to the sun shining in your eyes and Lana lazily rubbing your back as you rest on her chest. All of the sounds, smells, and sights around you are almost mystical compared to the city. But you can definitely get used to this.
You ask if you’re preventing her from getting up, but she says no and holds you closer while you both talk about different things, enjoying the unfamiliar, but pleasant feeling of the cool morning air and environment.
Eventually you do get up to make breakfast and while you’re on pancake flipping duty, Lana rummages around to find the coffee maker to make some. Fortunately, she finds it and brews some for both of you to drink. 
You eat your breakfast on the floor like last night before slowly beginning to unpack the boxes and setting up your home. And by the evening you are able to eat dinner at your table. Also, you somehow managed to finagle your bed into the car and set it up to sleep in for tonight.
Tonight both of you are much less tired so when you head to bed and Lana mentions that you haven’t technically christened the home yet. You are more than happy to make love in your new home for the first time without having to hold back or be quiet since there aren’t neighbors around.

Cordelia Goode
Is Cordelia the supreme? Yes. Did her wisdom teeth still grow in for some reason? Also, yes. Because they’re starting to cause problems, she visits the dentist and they recommend getting them removed. The only thing is she needs someone to drive her and take care of her while she heals but she doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
Mallory is busy with Coco, Zoe with Madison, Misty is off with Stevie god knows where, and Queenie knows of your crush for the supreme even if you won’t admit it. She’s seen you two tip toe around the topic and decides to volunteer you for the job so you’ll finally admit your feelings for her.
Honestly if Cordelia trusted anyone to take care of her it would be you. On the way to the dentist she’s eerily quiet. But even as the supreme, Cordelia is still human and feels anxious about the surgery. And in the car ride she drinks a tea she personally concocted with specific leaves to help wane her immunity as the supreme. It’s not that her powers are lost, they’re just dulled enough for the anesthesia to work.
By the time you’re at the office, her supremely glow is gone and to you she almost looks physically different. But you know the tea worked so both of you walk in and you keep on high alert for any possible threat towards your supreme.
Shortly after signing in they call Cordelia back to begin the process. You automatically stand up to go with her, but pause to ask if she even wants that. Before you can even finish your sentence, she takes your hand to keep you close.
Cordelia continues to hold your hand while she sits in the patient’s chair and the dentist explains what’s going to happen. And when they ask if she has any follow up questions, she’s too nervous to think of any, but you ask about a couple things that she’s grateful you think of.
Then they say they’ll get her ready for the removal. So you wish her luck trying to sound calm, but walk out to the waiting room feeling anxious as well. Within an hour the dentist comes out to you and says everything went well and she’s slowly waking up. So they let you go to her and tell you to take your time getting her up.
When you walk in and see your supreme reclined on the patient’s chair, she looks high as a kite. And your appearance makes her mumble something about her girlfriend. That catches your attention and you hesitantly ask who she’s talking about.
The question makes her have a fit of laughter however she groans in pain so you rush up to her to settle her back down. Then she clings to your hand and says with her mouth full of gauze that you’re her girlfriend because she loves you.
Or in her words she “loves you so, so, so, so, infinitely so’s y/n. Wait infinity loves. I loves infinity--wait I love infinitely. Y/n—fuck—I love you infinitely, infinity x infinity.” And you can’t help but giggle at your supreme confessing her love so clumsily.
But you quickly regret that when she begins to cry thinking you’re making fun of her. Before she gets too worked up you kneel before her and apologize saying you weren’t trying to make fun of her. You just thought she was cute.               
For some reason those words provoke her to try to sit up before standing up, but you snap into action and keep her from doing so, unsure if she even could stay standing at the moment. In response she tries to resist while growling with her mouth full of gauze that she’s the fucking supreme. And before she gets upset enough to trigger her powers you assure her that you know she’s the supreme and ask once she’s resettled ask how she feels.
That leads her to relax and tell you how she’s feeling. But as she does instead of using normal pet names towards you like “sweetheart” or “darling” she keeps calling you poptart and cheese-it. Both of which she never even eats. 
Fortunately one of the dental assistants brings in the take home kit with instructions. Then you help Cordelia up and slowly make your way home. But it takes everything in you to not laugh at her behavior.
When you get back to the house, you manage to sneak Cordelia to her room without running into anyone and by the time you coax her to gargle saltwater, take pain meds, and change her gauze she’s completely exhausted and you are too. So you prop her up so she doesn’t hurt her mouth when she sleeps before laying beside her on the bed. And the last thing she says is, “Love you, pop tart.” before you both fall asleep.
By the time you wake up to give Cordelia the second dose of pain medicine she already has her supremely glow back and is way more recovered than the average person. But you still. Help and feed her a small meal to prevent nausea. Then you help her gargle saltwater and replace the gauze and she passes out again.
24 hours later Cordelia is almost completely healed and takes care of herself. However she never mentions anything about what she said and doesn’t act differently whatsoever. You try to as well, but you just can’t forget her words. So you go to Zoe and explain what happened. She encourages you to be honest with the supreme and see how she responds. Then she assures you that Cordelia won’t be upset. If anything she has a soft spot for you.
That afternoon when you see Cordelia alone in the greenhouse you come out and hesitantly explain what she said the other day, but you also recognize that it was the anesthesia talking. While she didn’t remember that, she does admit she has feelings for you, and you admit you have feelings for her. So you decide to try going out on a date and she promises you that she won’t call you ‘pop tart.’ again.

Bette and Dot Tattler 
When you find out Bette and Dot have never been to the beach before you’re shocked because they live in Florida. But you also make a point to take them to one.
One day you wake them up while it’s dark and have them get dressed before leading them to your packed car. You know they aren’t big fans of surprises so when they sleepily what’s happening you say you’re going to the beach.
When Bette and Dot find out they’re both excited and nervous about sneaking out. But you assure them it’s a day off for everyone and you told Eve what you’re doing so she could explain where you are if anyone asks. So they happily get into your car.
You drive to a virtually private beach and lay out a blanket on the sand. Then the 3 of you sit together to watch the sunrise. For now you sit beside Dot and hold her hand, smiling as you hear their gasps of amazement.
Once the sun is fully risen you tell them to stay put and go back to the car. Then you bring back a breakfast you packed to share with them. Bette and Dot knew you loved them both, but they are still shocked at how thoughtful and considerate you are unlike nearly everyone else in their lives.
By the time you finish eating it’s fully light out so you can really see the full expanse of the Atlantic Ocean now. You offer to take them closer honestly Bette and Dot haven’t swam in years and have never been to a body of water large enough that you can’t see the other side. So, they’re a little apprehensive. 
You promise to stay with them the whole time and hold Bette’s hand as you murmur soothing words over the roar of the ocean and guide them closer.
When you get to the damp sand where waves briefly touch enough to change the texture, both Bette and Dot freeze up and won’t move. So you try to comfort them by saying you’ll step up first. Then you let go of Bette’s hand and walk only a couple steps away.
Both sets of eyes watch the waves rush over your feet and you assure them with a smile you’re ok and they will be too. Then you hold out your hands and beckon them closer. They cautiously step closer into the soaked and more shifty sand and Bette takes one of your hands while Dot takes the other.
When the water rushes over their feet they gasp and back up a little at the cold temperature. But you slowly guide them back and soothe it won’t be as cold this time.
They’re skeptical, but when the next wave comes and flows over all of your feet Bette and Dot don’t back away like last time. And when you ask if they’re ok and they say yes with cute little grins on their faces.
After a couple more waves all three of you walk back to your stuff and both women comment about the sand that gets stuck on their wet feet. So you pamper Bette and Dot by wiping their feet clean with a towel when you sit back on the blanket.
When it gets to mid-morning you pull out the matching sun hats you bought for them so they have some protection from the sun. Then the three of you go between lounging on the blanket and going to dip your feet in the water.
Eventually you bring out the lunch you packed and enjoy the meal of different sandwiches, fruit, and of course Bette’s favorite—cupcakes. And as the 3 of you eat and giggle with each other you notice how happy they look.
After you return the picnic basket to the car, you lead Bette and Dot back to the ocean. But this time you urge them a little further into the water. Unfortunately, there isn’t a swimsuit for them to wear and the only thing they have to wear is their dress. So you keep yours on too and keep them steady whenever the waves come. 
Because they can’t really swim that well you only go out until the water meets your knees and hug them close while softly encouraging them, knowing how nervous they are. Thankfully the water is calmer today so you help them to lower into the water and they get excited that they look ‘normal’ because the water is high enough to make their heads look separate from each other.
You understand their joy about for once in their lives not looking like freaks, but also assure them that you love them both just as they are. Bette and Dot will always be your girls. Then you help them stand back up and lead them back to your spot before setting up an umbrella to block out some of the afternoon sun. 
Then you lay out on the blanket and hold your lovers close to your chest while you dry off. The warmth of the sun feels like a blanket in itself and you end up falling asleep. 
When you wake back up, you panic at Bette and Dot being nowhere near you assuming the worst. But the wind carries their laughter and you look to see them standing by the water and they have their ankles submerged. So you walk over and see they look so happy with slightly burned pink noses and cheeks from the sun. Even Dot looks unusually happy.
Then the sisters thank you for taking them and making the day so special. And you assure both women you’re more than happy to do that for them before giving each woman a kiss. And while you need to head back to the freak show you promise to bring them back to the beach again.

 Sally McKenna
After walking in to see your partner cheating on you in your own home you run off devastated. That’s how you end up stumbling into the Hotel Cortez, barely holding yourself together.
The first thing you do is tearfully check into the hotel and that’s when Sally notices you from the balcony. And after getting your room key you stumble up to the bar where Sally sits. But you don’t even notice her, lost in your own emotional state.
After ordering a drink you find yourself hiding your face and trying to be quiet when you cry and drink. But it’s clear to anyone around that you are miserable.
So Sally meanders over, preying on your vulnerable state, and claiming you as her next victim to kill. When she greets you and mentions your crying, you completely break down while explaining that you caught your partner having sex with someone else.
Then you mention how everyone always ends up leaving you behind in the end. Sally is caught off guard by the comment since she’s usually the one to say that. But she just assumes you’re trying to trick her only to take advantage of Sally with your tears. So she keeps buying you drinks to dull your senses and kill you.
Once you seem drunk enough Sally tells you she has an idea “to keep you distracted.” Of course she meant that in a seductive way. But her sultry, suggestive tone goes completely over your head and you say sure before leading her to your hotel room.
When you enter the room you ask if she’s ever seen your favorite childhood movie. The random question throws Sally off but she answers no, already working on removing her coat and deciding on how to kill you. 
Luckily with the freshly renovated hotel the TVs include streaming services, so you fall/hop onto the bed while excitedly telling her it’s on Netflix. Sally stops undressing when she sees you using the remote to find it and asks if you are seriously going to watch a dumb kids movie.
Her harsh tone makes you get emotional again and you pathetically whimper that you really like the movie, but you won’t make her stay and watch, knowing it’s lame. And something about your genuinely broken spirit makes her pause. 
Then she hesitantly says she’ll watch it, hoping you’ll pass out soon and killing you will be a lot easier. So you pat the bed inviting her closer and she slowly comes forward, shocked at how easily you let her in. But this isn’t Sally’s first rodeo and you’re not going to trick her that easily.
Throughout the movie you scoot closer to Sally and when your flesh touches hers she starts to feel something other than the empty and lonely feeling of death. There’s not a word she can think of to describe it, but it’s a warm comforting feeling. Almost like a hug. However she credits that to the alcohol so she doesn’t fall for you.
After the movie you tell Sally you’re going to order room service and ask what she would like. The blonde is once again taken aback at your consideration of her, but says she doesn’t want anything, starting to get annoyed at how kind you’re being to her.
So you order something for yourself and as you eat you ask about Sally and her past. However she snaps at you, saying you don’t really care or even if you do you’ll leave her when you learn she’s a monster. That’s when you notice fresh tears streaming down her face.
But you assure her that you’re not asking to be judgmental, just to care. So even though Sally doesn’t divulge everything, she does tell you some small parts of her past, anticipating your repulsion or disgust. However you do the opposite, pulling her into a hug and thanking her for trusting you enough to share.
By now Sally lets is more shocked than upset at your acceptance and you see her smile for the first time. Then you ask if she’ll stay for one more movie and she doesn’t hesitate to agree. This time while the movie plays you lean against her and without speaking she wraps her arms around you.
When tucked in Sally’s embrace you don’t feel her cold, dead aura whatsoever and snuggle into her further. In the process she is encompassed in your warmth and for a moment gets a glimpse at feeling alive once more.
By the time the credits roll you’re fast asleep in Sally’s arms and she remembers her plan to kill you earlier. But she decides against it. Not to make herself some superhero, but because for so long she has been the victim of rejection and you accepted her. You didn’t use her as something for selfish pleasure or take your anger out on her only to leave. Your care was unconditional.
When you wake up the next morning Sally is gone, leaving you confused and almost wondering if you had just dreamed about her. So before you leave, you go to the front desk and ask about Sally and if she’s checked out already. They tell you she’s still here so you leave a note for her before leaving.
It’s only then that Sally comes out from the shadows and looks to see what you wrote to her. And her heart melts when she sees that you thanked her for helping you to feel better and left your number in case she needed someone to talk to.

Audrey Tindall
Today is your 1 year anniversary of being Audrey’s girlfriend. So the actress specifically takes the day off to spend it with you. And for once she had the forethought to plan a whole day of activities to do together.
However before you can even leave the house, her first plan goes awry when you slip into her shower to “wish her a happy anniversary.” Did she make a breakfast reservation that you will be late for? Yes. But is she gonna turn down shower sex with you? Absolutely not.
But now because of that distraction Audrey is nearly down the driver’s neck trying to get them to go faster so you aren’t late. But they can only go so fast in stopped LA traffic. However you get her attention to show her one of those airplanes making a message in the sky, blissfully unaware of the stress Audrey is experiencing.
In the end you miss your reservation. However you believe she made the reservation for the place next door and ask how she knew it was your favorite spot. So Audrey just rolls with it and says it was instinct and you eat breakfast there. Then Audrey takes you to one of the walking trails up to the Griffith Observatory.
But you accidentally take the “scenic” trail and what should have been a 1 mile trek ends up being almost 3 miles. And that includes walking a half a mile on a side path thinking it’s the right way.
Because Audrey thought it was going to be a small walk she didn’t bring any water or tell you to wear walking shoes so you end up with some gnarly blisters on your heels. 
The actress feels horrible about it, but you assure her it’s fine and buy some flip flops and bottles of water from the observatory’s gift shop. Then you take your time to look around the observatory and absolutely love it.
Because the walk took so long, you end up eating lunch at some generic, overpriced but subpar lunch place attached to the observatory. The food isn’t great, but the view is amazing. And honestly you’re both so hungry that you’re willing to eat anything.
After this Audrey takes you to Venice Beach to hang out and shop around. But when you get there, the streets are closed off for a huge block party. And to make matters worse, people around begin to recognize her and come up asking for pictures and autographs. 
Audrey feels terrible about everything that’s going wrong and now she has to deal with a swarm of fans. Right away you see her trembling lip and tell people to back off. Then you guide her into a nearby antique shop. Luckily the owner saw everything and locks the door after you enter while saying you’re welcome to stay as long as you need.
You quickly thank him, but guide Audrey who has teary eyes to a section of the store that’s not visible to the windows and ask if she’s ok. While she’s clearly shaken up she nods. But she also tearfully apologizes for ruining the day.
However you silence her with a kiss and soothe she isn’t ruining the day at all. That’s when you both see an older woman you assume to be the owner’s wife and freeze up, concerned about how she will act about your relationship. But she just offers a smile and says she just made some lemonade, offering the privacy of their breakroom.
You follow her back and sit with the older couple while drinking lemonade and end up having a good time just listening to how they got together and they came to own the shop. By the time you say goodbye it’s nearly evening the group of fans is gone, but they let you exit out the backdoor just in case.
While walking down the street you pause at a local restaurant that looks delicious for dinner. Audrey goes to protest saying she made a reservation at some fancy, a-list restaurant. But honestly both of you look pretty rugged with no time to clean up and you are interested in going here. So she agrees to eating where you want since every other plan she’s made has gone to shit.
Because the restaurant is nearly empty of guests, when the server finds out it’s your one year anniversary, they offer a special discount and free dessert. Then they do their best to make the setting as romantic as possible.
In the process you meet the owner and their whole family when each one comes out to congratulate you on your anniversary. The food is delicious and even though Audrey had other plans, this is way better.
When you finish dinner, Audrey sees the sky is overcast to the point that you won’t be able to see the sun actually setting. But you assure her you would love to go to the beach anyways even to just to dip your feet in the water.
So you go to the nearest beach and while you walk along the shore (holding hands of course) you tell her you have loved today. She stops in confusion because everything that could go wrong did and she let you down. But you pull her close to kiss her lips and assure her that you wouldn’t change a thing about today and that you love her so much.
She happily replies that she loves you too. Then it starts to rain. And not like a light sprinkle either. It’s pouring rain that leaves you drenched to the bone within minutes. Audrey looks up and waves her fist at the sky as she curses it for raining this one night when it’s sunny in LA every other day.
But you giggle and end her dramatic monologue with a long kiss before running back to your car. By the time you’re riding home both of you are soaked. But you don’t mind and you promise Audrey that you have made some plans of your own for her when you get back to your bedroom.

 Ally Mayfair-Richards
Recently Ally has been super busy working on her re-election campaign as senator. Of course you are her #1 booster and supporter. And you want to do something special for her to help lighten Ally’s load.
So tonight you and Oz decide to make a special dinner for Ally. As usual Ally texts you that she’ll be working late so you have plenty of time to work. Then Oz tells you her favorite meal and you both go out shopping to get the necessary ingredients.
Once you return, Oz pulls out the cookbook with the instructions and sits up on the countertop (Something Ally would NEVER allow) to stay next to you while reading the steps as you cook. But...here's the thing: You have no idea how to cook—at all.
So Oz grimaces as he watches you and tries to help you along with little helpful tips. But he’s a kid—not an experienced cook like Ally.
You struggle through it and know you’re messing things up. But you’re hopeful a couple mistakes here and there won’t be too noticeable. As you finish cooking, Ally texts you she’s headed home so you and Oz run around, setting the table and finishing the dinner. And as you haphazardly pour one of the wines you randomly picked into her glass (Because—let’s be honest you have no idea how to pair wine) the door opens.
As soon as Ally walks into her home, her nose wrinkles at the smell of burnt food and other concerning scents. So she calls out your name before doing anything else, hoping nothing happened, and you reply you’re in the dining room.
When she walks in, her eyes widen at seeing the dangerous-looking meal and Oz’s expression of concern and disgust. But her attention is drawn to you when you tell her you made dinner with a nervous smile.
Seeing all of the effort you put in makes Ally’s heart melt and even though she’s concerned, she goes along with it, thanking you and sitting down. She could struggle through one subpar meal to make you feel good—but then the three of you start to eat.
The first bite Oz takes, he gags and says “Yuck!” That makes Ally shoot him a warning look. However, she nearly chokes when she takes the first bite. So she tries to conceal that by washing it down with a generous sip of wine. But then she actually does choke at the horribly paired food and drink.
At this point you want to die in humiliation and hide your face in your hands. You know Ally is the “bread winner” so that should make you the homemaker. But you have no idea how to “home make.” That has never come natural to you. So you do one thing that you do know how to do and apologize.
Right away, Ally takes your hand and guides you to look at her while soothing that she doesn’t mind cooking. But you explain that you wanted to be helpful and alleviate stress and you just made everything worse for her. She assures you that she finds cooking to be cathartic and just having you and Oz around makes everything better.
So you throw away the disappointment of a meal and all 3 of you head into the kitchen. However most of the necessary dishes are dirty from your cooking so you offer to wash them while Ally takes off her makeup and gets into lounge clothes.
So she heads to your room and you and Oz get to work washing and drying the dishes. As you both finish up, Ally walks in to see him perched on the countertop and drying dishes next to the sink. So she scolds him about sitting there and Oz just throws you under the bus saying that you let him do that all the time.
You try to deny the accusation, but both Ally and Oz know you are horrible at enforcing rules, so you apologize and tell Oz in your “stern” voice no more sitting on the countertop. However, they both know if he sits up there and you’re home alone you’ll ultimately let him do it.
That’s the moment when you take in Ally. Not senator Mayfair-Richards, just your love, Ally with her oversized sweater and cute, little ponytail at the nape of her neck with a couple loose hairs that are too short to stay held back frame her face. 
You let her take the lead and watch her come alive as she does the cooking and delegates you to do different side tasks that don’t risk something being over or under cooked. Meanwhile Oz sits at the mini bar and tells his mom about his day. These ordinary moments between the three of you are not very common, but they’re your favorite moments.
In less than an hour, the 3 of you are back in the dining room with an excellent, homemade dinner. You all happily eat the late night meal before going over to the living room and watching a TV show Oz chooses.
He lays across your laps to watch it so he can lean on you while Ally gently strokes his hair and by the end he’s asleep. Then you gather him in your arms before picking him up and carrying him to his bed while Ally follows behind and whispers her shock that you can still actually hold him. Somehow he never wakes up so you gently lay him down and Ally tucks his blankets around him, placing a kiss on his forehead before walking out.
Then you both go down to the kitchen and Ally drinks a couple glasses of wine at the mini bar while you clean up from dinner. Of course she wants to help you, but you insist on her sitting while you take care of everything. And as you go, you ask how her day was.
Ally tells you about her long day and asks your opinion on a couple of the decisions she is considering. While you have little to no experience in politics, she’s thankful that you listen to her and if Ally asks, she knows you’ll always choose what’s best for her unlike other “helpful” politicians.
When you finish up, Ally walks over to you and admits that telling you what to do earlier as you both cooked felt good and asks if you would consider being told what to do in the bedroom by her so she could “relieve the remaining stress from the day.” Of course you are more than happy to oblige in submitting to Ally and let her guide you up to your bedroom.

Wilhelmina Venable
You know Wilhemina truly loves you when she begrudgingly agrees to go to Disneyland for your birthday. Of course you butter up the deal by purchasing VIP passes so you don’t have to deal with lines—but still.
The night before you can’t hardly sleep because you’re so excited to go to the happiest place on earth for the first time. But Wilhemina makes you stay in bed even though you want to start getting ready for the day at 4 in the morning.
While you couldn’t convince Mina to “officially” disneybound with you, she does wear a casual plum-colored dress, black cardigan, and shorter heels than usual in the same dark purple as her dress. Even her ponytail for today is less formal then her work coiffure.
On the other hand, you’ve pulled all the stops to disneybound as Snow White. Your outfit has been planned for weeks down to the smallest detail and having your girlfriend looking like the evil queen will make amazing pics.
When you get to the park, you nearly bounce around like a kid with excitement. Wilhelmina watches you with narrowed eyes making her look even more like a Disney villain, but lets you have your moment, only complaining when you go to take a selfie with her. And even then, she manages to give a small smile in the photo.
After you pick up your VIP passes you go to get your pins for your first visit and your birthday. You also get a first visit pin for Mina, but that’s when you find out this isn’t her first time to Disneyland. Then you slowly make your way down main street, stopping to look at every shop. In the process you have the redhead help you choose between two sets of ears and choose a pair for her to wear.
If looks could kill, you would be on death’s doorstep from her glare. At first she says no and remains firm in her answer. However you pull the ole “it’s your birthday and your first time at Disneyland” card so she spitefully wears them, grateful that they’re at least purple. But when you go to buy more merchandise, Wilhelmina drags encourages you out to actually get to the rides.
After taking WAY too many pictures around main street and in front of the castle, you begin to make your way through the park. Your first attraction is the tiki room. Then you share your first dole whip before going on the Jungle Cruise.
That ride just about kills Wilhemina and with each corny joke she lets out a soft groan, pained at how dumb these jokes really are. But she tries to not ruin the moment for you. Meanwhile you crack up at every joke.
Next you ride Pirates of the Caribbean and love it, constantly looking around to take everything in and pointing out Jack Sparrow each time as if Mina doesn’t notice the very obvious lighting and animatronic of him. On the other hand, the red head totally forgets there’s a drop and she lets out an adorable little squeak in surprise that only you hear. Because you like it so much you ride it again and ride Haunted Mansion twice too.
In between the attractions you practically skip along and with any character you pass—literally any character—you will wave at them and would stop to take photos, but Wilhemina drags you along keeps you moving.
As you walk through the park, you notice a couple kids gasp when they see Mina or point at her. Of course the redhead is offended and cold towards them, but then you realize they’re calling her princess Ariel. And at one point while you’re sitting to eat some churros a little girl shyly comes up to you both and says to Wilhemina that she’s her favorite princess before asking how Flounder and Sebastian are doing.
Mina is flabbergasted and for a moment just looks at the girl with wide eyes, bewildered that she would ever think of Wilhemina as a princess. However she pulls herself together enough to say that they're doing well. Then the girl says goodbye and runs back over to her family.
And while Mina has never been a kid person, being called a “princess” by different kids does make her smile a little bit. No one else would notice, but you do.
When you pass by Splash Mountain Wilhemina says no when you ask to ride. So even though you plead to go on it, you keep walking. The only other attraction she says no to is It’s a Small World. Even passing by the facade and hearing the faded music makes her shudder and declare she would rather puncture her own ear drums than go through that.
When it comes to the parade, even though Mina hates crowds, she sits with you and watches you call out to characters like the other kids around. Of course she gives you her trademark look of silently asking if you are really acting like this. However the redhead does secretly find it a little adorable.
Tomorrowland is your last “land” and that’s when you find out Mina kicks ass at Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters. The first time you rode she blew you out of the water and ranked as a 1st class Ranger with a whopping score of 749,000 points and the next time she scored even higher.
For dinner you reserved a special table where you can watch the fireworks while eating. However during the whole show you forget to even touch your food, gasping at everything that happens and trying to take it all in. And because you look so damn adorable, before “rational Mina” can make an executive decision, “impulsive Mina” tells you she’ll ride Splash Mountain if you still want to.
You have never eaten a meal so fast in your life and when you finish you practically run to the ride, thanking Mina the whole walk there. Here’s the thing though—she thought it was an up and down one drop deal, like any other log ride. To the point that she took on the noble task of sitting in front of you so you wouldn’t get you special handmade Snow White dress damaged by water. Oh no, there are 3 drops. 3. So by the time you get off poor Wilhemina looks like a drowned cat. But the picture of your faces on the final drop is just too good to not buy it.
And on the way back, even though she’s soaked with cold water, you keep close to Mina on the monorail packed with people headed back to your car. And it feels so good to have her close to you whispering to ask if you had a good birthday. You know this is something she would never, ever choose to do. But her consideration touches your heart and you answer yes before thanking her once again for doing all of this.

tali i have kind of a weird question? growing up my family never watched a lot of classic/common movies (we were FIRMLY a veggie tales house) so I have No Clue what like half of the movies you mention are? like I've never seen footloose or what a wonderful life or die hard? or practically... anything you've ever talked about :(
(also ive never seen mean girls but thats a oersonal failure cas I just. forget to watch it?)
do you have a fav/good movie i should start with cause I feel like I'm missing out on so much :(
hi honey!! you’re so valid, and i had LOTS of veggie tales experience growing up. i know you asked for one, but i went a lil ham on this list because you’ve unknowingly touched on one of my favorite hobbies
okay so i have a big list for you, but it’s in really manageable chunks!! i went to theatre school at the school that houses the Best Cinema School in the World (fight on, usc) and i have Opinions™!! 
if anyone has any other recs not on this list, drop em in the replies!!
i’ll put these in order of my preference/pop culture relevance, so it’s all subjective and idk what your taste is like, but if you have any questions im always here for you!! i’ve added a few notes and disclaimers along the way
this is a really good list to go off of, in general! 
okay so here are my top seven films that i never get tired of watching, in order.
skyfall
that thing you do
captain america: the first avenger/captain america: winter soldier
inglorious basterds*
the sound of music 
knives out
blazing saddles**
* inglorious basterds is a quentin tarantino movie, and tarantino isn’t for everyone. his films are always really bloody, intense, and rife with bad language. i don’t like him personally, but i love his work. this is, in my opinion, his best and funniest work
** blazing saddles is a mel brooks movie, and he’s REALLY offensive and inappropriate in his satire. it’s definitely an iconic comedy, but not to everyone’s taste. it’s one of those movies where you’re actually allowed to laugh at the really horrible jokes because it’s an equal-opportunity offense-fest lmao 
so here are some other genres and films that are a good foundation!
IN GENERAL!! i don’t like remakes. if there’s an older version of the movie, watch that one. trust me. 
i’ve also bolded a couple of key favorites on this list
romantic comedies
my best friend’s wedding
the ugly truth & 27 dresses (katherine hiegl movies ROCK)
sleepless in seattle & you’ve got mail (meg ryan and tom hanks own my ass)
when harry met sally
movies based on books/short stories
to kill a mockingbird
the book thief
the hunger games trilogy
divergent
chronicles of narnia
pride and prejudice (2005 or the bbc miniseries)
3:10 to yuma
based on a true story
ford v. ferrarri
three billboards outside of ebbing, missouri
moneyball
zero dark thirty
the king’s speech
black mass
apollo 11
documentaries*
ken burns’ civil war
ken burns’ baseball
paris is burning
blackfish
free solo
the hunting ground 
* please be advised, some of these documentaries cover some disturbing and distressing subjects. please engage responsibly!
superhero movies
iron man
the dark knight*
wonder woman
scott pilgrim vs the world (okay give me this one)
spider man 1, the amazing spider man, and spiderman: homecoming (all different spidermans, all great movies!
deadpool**
* tdk is really really dark, but the performances are immaculate.  ** deadpool is wildly inappropriate, so don’t take the R-rating lightly! it’s so funny though. so so fucking funny. 
teen favorites
10 things i hate about you
mean girls
she’s the man
easy a
heathers
70′s icons
jaws
monty python and the holy grail
butch cassidy and the sundance kid

dirty dancing
john hughes movies!! the breakfast club, st. elmo’s fire, pretty in pink, sixteen candles, some kind of wonderful
back to the future
footloose
princess bride
90′s flicks
the matrix
three men and a baby
thelma and louise
pretty woman
notting hill
a league of their own
lgbt +
our own private idaho
brokeback mountain
moonlight
philadelphia
call me by your name
love, simon
some of these movies don’t get everything right. if you do choose to engage, engage critically and let the art make you feel something. 
tom hanks movies
yes he gets his own category
joe v the volcano 
castaway
big
saving mr banks
movies where the government saves matt damon
the martian 
saving private ryan
interstellar
jason bourne (technically he saves himself, but he’s still funded by the government)
war movies
fury
band of brothers
full metal jacket
the last full measure
war horse 
1917 
hacksaw ridge
westerns
django unchained
the magnificent seven
true grit
the good the bad and the ugly
a fistful of dollars
old hollywood
an affair to remember
breakfast at tiffany’s, roman holiday (audrey hepburn is an icon of the era)
any alfred hitchcock movie, but psycho and rear window are my faves
these movies don’t get everything right. they are a product of their time and often come with insensitive and unironically offensive cultural baggage. if you so choose, engage critically. you’re still allowed to enjoy the movies, just understand what’s not acceptable! 
christmas movies
it’s a wonderful life
white christmas
a christmas story
the holiday
die hard (some people don’t think this is a christmas movie. i disagree.)
the family stone
a year without a santa clause
halloween movies
hocus pocus
beetlejuice
anything by tim burton - the nightmare before christmas, the corpse bride
the shining
the blair witch project
get out
cult classics
the rocky horror picture show
the room
reservoir dogs
jennifer’s body 
point break
these are WAY more fun with friends - please quarantine responsibly, but it's so worth the wait to watch this with a big group of people.

hazel hcs!! all the hazel hcs!!!
SHE!!!! I live her she’s baby
Ok I haven’t reread Kane chronicles yet but Sadie x Hazel is where it’s at no I will not elaborate
She’s not a great bake or cook she’s not like terrible and can follow a recipe well enough as long as she’s not distracted but she’s not good either. Her cooking w Nico is really more her dancing around the kitchen w him while standing on his feet and eating raw dough
She’s not really into makeup tbh and I think when she gets older she’ll identify as Butch she has a lot of issues w how she views womanhood as so many people’s definition of womanhood doesn’t include her
After coming back from the dead she has attacks of dizziness and fatigue and is a part time wheelchair user (Leo tricked it out)
She also uses wrist braces due to the damage and strain moving sm earth caused her
Traditional therapy doesn’t work for her by itself so Hades/Pluto enrolled her and Nico in different non traditional therapy units like animal therapy, art, writing, and music therapy (the latter they enjoyed the most together)
She loves jazz, blues, old rock, gospel, country, she loves music but nothing is funnier than lil Hazel rocking out to heavy metal while cleaning the stables or something
Despite iding as Butch later on she never cuts her hair as she finds her fro more empowering than any haircut could be personally
She does let Nico paint her nails she hates the feeling the texture of chipped nail polish tho and always removes it that day
She’s a very good short story writer there’s something simple and sweet about her writing, she’s very good at poetry too
She likes to draw she does not have the patience to paint but she is learning
She cannot sew knit any of it everyone tried to teach her but she’d rather die than actually sit still and do it so she makes Nico mend her clothes (she asks and he’s physically incapable of saying no)
She grows up to be a veterinarian!! I don’t know if she marries or anything she’s thirteen but given her complex relationship with her mom and womanhood I don’t think she’d ever have kids I think she’d be a very good Aunt tho
She likes to read even if it takes her forever and once she reads a book she likes she always reads everything by that author before moving on
She’s still learning to fight and she’s powerful but lacks finesse and technique esp in hand to hand and other weapon fighting she’s a much better mage but man does she make up for it in commitment and fighting dirty hand to hand? She fights to win she is scrappy Nico teaches her a lot of Underhanded tricks they have to be they’re tiny
She is tiny she literally never gets any taller she stoped growing at 5’-5’2 and she’s valid!
She works very hard to pick up technology and is a very skilled photographer!!
She’s claustrophobic and scared of the dark so Nico built her a dresser so she wouldn’t have to use a closet and there’s a drawer unit under her bed and under any staircase in any house she’s in. She knows how dangerous the shadows can be
She has a complicated relationship w religion esp due to the nuns ⚠️ abuse but she eventually starts going to church again and she finds it a very healing process (I can def see her converting to Judaism or Islam too as you can find a community and healing in any major and frankly almost all religions)
She’s colorblind as underworld kids see in the dark and therefore their eyes are different therefore they see a different range of colors therefore she’s a colorblind legend
She’s gay she actually ends up having a p good relationship w Hades as Nico already did all the emotional labor for him and is holding a gun to his head, she can drive, she’s actually p good at math, her mind
She’s left handed and cannot use scissors she hates them she is physically incapable of cutting anything it is very trying for her
She likes pineapple on pizza
She’s from the south yes she’s anti grits they exist (she’s very pro sweet tea)
She has a very heavy accent and a def lisp that gets extremely prominent when she gets nervous
She has a tooth gap and she gets glasses when she’s older
Thus was off the top of my head!! I love her!! Baby she’s baby!!

Not to sound like the joker™️ but i hate western society. I know that hair and clothes aren't gendered, so do most of my mates, ive been working hard at unlearning the internalized transphobia that's just a part of being trans in the UK and actually ALLOWING myself to think about going on hormones and dressing in ways other than "ambigious as possible" despite the fact im non-binary
i grew myself a little mullet because ive not been working in the pub and wanted solid snake hair, ive allowed myself to look at my face and the long hair around it and not despair because i know that longer hair doesn't make me a woman, but the moment you go into a shop, or get takeaway or pass by people in the street its all "move out the way of this lady!" and "thank you, ma'am"
i dont want the gender option of 'other' on my ID i want to know 1 good reason why gender should be listed on an ID in the 1st place
ive just come back from the range and i had my hair up like some e-thot fuckboy, i had to go BACK to the range because they got my click and collect order wrong so ive got two members of staff looking over my order, im dressed in black jeans and a black masc-looking ripped shirt, mask covering half my face and as the manager's showing the kid who served me the receipt they go "oh I served that guy earlier" and the manager corrects them "its a lady". I say "im niether" and they both just stare at me like im a toddler. Im already panicking because the air feels the same way it did when some cunt came after me in the pub toliets. "dont worry about it :)" i say, they both turn back to the tills and completely ignore me.
Anyway, micro-aggressions, ive experienced a lot of them for many reasons over the course of my life and today ive decided to snap.
Not at the people in the range like, just in general.
I will never pass. That's just an element of trans euphoria i will never get to experience. Not right off the bat, anyway. Not where i live, and most likely not in my lifetime. Maybe for kids in LA or Brighton, and hey power to you guys man im happy for you, but people assume or guess m/f when they look at me and they will never get it right.
So when i see people on this site try and twitter etc rank "who's the most oppressed"™️ like a godamn smash bros tier list it blows my mind because of all the things you could spend your days doing thats what youre expending energy on?!
You could be the exact same age, race, sex, gender, sexuality, you could have the exact same disabilities, mental health conditions and money in your bank as another person on this site and you'd still never understand what they've been through. Our experiences, our families, our morals and lives are always gonna be different and the moment you try to write definitive rules on whose got it worse you've already lost and you're already wrong. Oppressed classes are not a fucking hivemind and pretending they are is only going to cause you more problems. I get the strong sense that some of you looked at the word intersectionality, went "ah yeah, i know what that means" having never read up on the matter, then proceeded to play the pain olympics.
And its creating a culture where kids feel the need to spills their souls online to justify living their lives!
You've not listed your disabilites in your bio so you're able-bodied. You're Irish but haven't listed your race so you're white. You're cis man so you've never played with gender and suffered as a result. You're asexual so clearly you're a cringeworthy baby who's never experienced a wrong-doing in their life.
The reverse is true too, if you list every aspect of yourself then you're automatically honest. The more opressed you are the less likely you are of causing harm to others. Psht, don't have a carrd in this day and age? What are you, a fraud? cishet white man playing make believe? Post a selfie or face the wrath of ozymandaus. What's privacy? It takes me 3 minutes to read the bio on this discourse side-blog so clearly they're an angel.
my mam abused me for years, she did the same to my brother when i left home at 18 and my dad drank himself to death. My nan, his mother, never believed me because my mam's a disabled woman with a lot of trauma, and at 14 how do you explain to the woman who takes you to the beach that it's WORSE because as she's beckoning you to the side of her bed so she can scream point blank in your face, or hit you, you're never truely sure, you're thinking about running away because of course she physically can't chase you but she can throw. And then where would you go if you did buggar off?
"You have to sleep sometimes" she used to say to me when I'd piss her off. Other days she told me horror stories about kids in care, and disabled people having their kids taken away, made me promise that I'd always love her and always be her baby, and I'd do that for her because she's my mam, she'd be satisfied then ignore me for a while. I grew up thinking that was entirely normal until i'd tell funny family stories at school and nobody would laugh. The closest I got to truely running away was when I changed my name and pronouns and her rejection, turned to vitriol one night and I so, so, nearly held a knife to my throat and simply fell forwards in the uni showers. Obviously I didn't do that.
But she's had a shitter life than me thus far so she's in the right, as the online black/white dichotomy states. I keep her at arm's length but I'm unable to cut her away without losing the rest of my family because I dared defy the role of eldest child and care for her as I've done my whole life, as is expected.
we need to take things on a case by case basis, and learn when stuff is none of our business.
"Hey! :) I see you've reclaimed (X) slur, without submitting the proper paperwork. Real quick tell me every trauma you've ever experienced or I'll write a callout post :) delete this anonymous message (as is your right) and i'll assume you as sus ❤"
you can only call yourself a dyke if on your 13th birthday, the moon's tender rays struck you through your bedroom window and gave you your first wet dream about girls.
Great, cool. I have no interest in calling myself a dyke, i cant call myself a lesbian because it makes me dysphoric, thats why im queer, but i can assure you that when 3 kids from catholic school pinned me under the bridge and threatened to cut me open for being a "dirty dyke tramp" they didn't play 20Qs with me first to check that i was actually a lesbian.
if your first thought is "well thats just misdirected homophobia, so youre not ACTUALLY a victim" log the fuck off and consider what's wrong with you. Because all our oppressors care about is sniffing out the wrong on you and beating it out, they dont care what breed of wrong it is.
so you're going to spend your day, the enlightened adult that you are, frothing at the mouth because some 15yr old dared call themselves butch despite them being OnLY a BiSexUAl? You're gonna say that trans woman deserves to be suicidal because yes she may be trans BUT she's from the UK, so clearly she loves her horrid country and government. You're gonna say that black lad deserves racial abuse because he's trying to focus on his studies rather than go to protests. That 19yr old who's living in poverty deserves it because they work for Amazon. Texans deserve to freeze to death because there are republicans in Texas.
You're going to harass a complete stranger coming to terms with the parts of themselves society has taught them are worthless at best because they're not doing it the way YOU think is right.
This post has not ended where I started it but I really dont care:
Some of you are so fucking desperate to be the bullies you never got to be in secondary school and it shows. But you're cowards. You can't just admit you want to divide and concur so you do it in a new woke way and when your time on this earth is done, you'll have commited the same pain that's been dealt to you and wonder why you died miserable in a world thats more or less the same.
okay to reblog but dont @ me for a debate because i have, like, real problems and will just block you

dragon age: all characters (companions)
I’ve been in this fandom for a hot minute now and I want to update my opinions on characters :)
Origins
Alistair: super sweet dude who literally is not the stereotypicalchantryguyfightme. He’s a great example of healthy masculinity and I totally wish he was bi because I have an entire essay on that— also: he’s a poc! His mum was brown. In game he’s got dark features. if you really want a blond/blue-eyes/white guy, make your warden that. or accept that brown people can be noble and moral. or just draw cailan, idk. just because BioWare whitewashes doesn’t mean you should.
Leliana: someone hug my singing girlfriend before I crush her under with my own hugs. Also: nugs. Yes! Shoes. Yes! She likes how I style my hair? YES!! I honestly think she’s super duper and it pisses me off whenever someone’s like: yeah she enjoys killing people and the Game. ok. and michel de chevin willingly participated in genocidal marches through the alienage he grew up in with his elvhen mum. 
Morrigan: dirty swamp witch that i stan and also have a v big crush on. tiddies. Have a son with a GW so we can raise him with our tiddies out in the forest. she’s also white-passing, as her father was chasind and all people we’ve seen that are chasind are black. therefore, she is biracial. therefore, poc can be goths and don’t shy away from giving morrigan a darker skintone. if the devs had of been thinking, she’d have a darker skintone.
Zevran: Actually is the best romance, I think. Loves consent, therefore I will stan him so hard my skull cracks a little. Also: he is a very brown boy and if he’s white in da4 I’m seriously going to throw all canon out the fucking window. genuinely a good person who needs to be told so. 
Wynne: grandma who only likes my friends who go to church. but also super sweet and I’d rest my head on her bosom (in a platonic way omg ZEVRAN)
Sten: angry quiet boi. the bestest boi. I totally would give him a kitten for a gift and bake him cookies. Thicc softie. I think if I had DA:O and i knew how to use mods i would mod the fuck outta him. sorry.
Sha(y)le: who’s gender? idk her. See also: fuck birds and authority. pound ur ass into the ground you feathery meatbag little shits. fuck songbirds.
Dog: such a good boi. thicc. thinks Alistair is a whiny fuck and is Morrigan’s only friend. love him. he’s the cutest companion. bet.
Ohgren: honestly forgot about him bcc he’s such a shitbag. also: he could’ve been a really cool addiction recovery type but NOPE. probably would have a trump shirt in a modern au and would catcall wlw and hit mlm. no thanks.
Awakening
Anders: he acts like rlly straight but he’s so gay I can smell it. also he’s rlly cute and fun and I love him so much.
Justice: MAYBE i’M selF CONSCious OF THE twitchING. is the friend that genuinely doesn’t get dick jokes but is ur 110% ride or die.
Nathaniel Howe: honestly is sort of a white knight/neck beard a little, but it’s kind of charming with his whole velanna m’lady?? grump boi. annoying soul patch that I’d mod out SO FAST—
Sigrun: would have ROMANCED the FUCK out of her. why she even entertains the idea of fucking with ohgren makes me realize most of the writers are dumbfucks.png. peppy little emo. 12/10 would die if she kissed my cheek teasingly.
Ohgren: why. why. why. I’d have brought Shayle over. Maybe Zev? Definitely Dog.
Velanna: she was written to be an annoying feminist and you can tell but I deadass am a kindred spirit with her bcc I too am deadpan annoyed with Thedas’ general population too. love her. Would’ve loved to romance her. She’d totally be one of those who’d get all tsundere and be like “n-no i hate you” *kisses the fuckin soul out of you then blushes so hard she’s now a tomato*
Dragon Age II
Anders: fuck the cops. i don’t care. fuck the cops. (vine reference). also: do i hate him for blowing up the chantry that would eventually annul a huge collection of his people? no. read dalishious’s meta on Anders. v intriguing. didn’t they retcon the fuck out of the reported deaths too? like there was like eight Templars and Elthinia in there. Templars killed more “abominations” in a day than Anders in the game canon—
Aveline: initially thought she was fine and then realized she’s shit to my lil brother and I will fucking clap her ginger ass. See also: whorephobia isn’t a joke so fuck off with treating Isabela badly, you tit.
Bethany: sunshine. Literal sunshine. I feel my freckles grow in her presence and i love it. she’s my little baby sister and I’d slam that ogre so fuckin hard before it touched either twin.
Carver: there has to be a mod where both twins survive. I love them both to bits. My babies. carver is my bitter, angry little brother and I can relate because I too am very angry and would totally clap my own ass. hes so genuine and I don’t get the competition between Beth and Carver. Like, both are fuckin stellar in different ways. In this essay I will—
Fenris: honestly, I don’t get the general hate between him and Anders. Fenris’ main arc should’ve been a recovery arc, not drunken moping and revenge. he deserves better. give him a soft sweater instead of his spikes and let him love himself as much as I love him for MAKERS SAKE. like when you really think about their relationship, it could’ve been an eye-opener for fenris and finally some legit sympathy for anders. but we all know that if they had of teamed up that Meredith would’ve been dead before the end of Act 1 so.
Isabela: whorephobia is not a joke. oversexualizing your only appearing brown woman is so poorly written. how about we appreciate her and her lovely bosoms but also let people tease her about her heart of gold? her innate understanding of freedom? instead of just a wave of dick? please?? can we give her some pants for when she fights? can we accept that i fall for rogues who hate themselves?? fuck. also whomever draws her x femHawke x Merrill literally is after my own heart.
Merrill: my fucking babygirl MARRY ME. Fenris could’ve been her older brother type, but NO. she and Isabela should’ve been canonical gfs instead of Isabela/Fenris (no shaming the pairing tho!!). I love how she’s written as neurodivergent. V nice. Sometimes I just look her up and cry because she’s fucking everything. Also: she’s in the Dalish origin and she’s far from being white. Why did they make the most innocent/naïve character really white? hmmmm.
Sebastian: whew that boy. Would totally be that annoying Mormon at your door but you still let him in bcc he’s super sweet. Also: huge ass bible thumper and should get his head slap because you said the maker loved all his children why do you defend a complicit old hag you annoying attractive fuck—
Varric: totally is a bard and the devs couldn’t handle the idea of him being one bcc it might make him look less straight. is the only grey morality person I don’t want to fucking bash in with a fry pan. he sees people and I like that, but you totally know he’s siding with mages every time bcc him and Anders are like besties. I’m sorry. I don’t make the rules. “Professional Younger Brother”.
Tallis: I know nothing about her but she seems okay. I think she was an escaped slave and honestly? Fucking props. Spy on a shitting organization, idk what you’re doing, but your VA was that cool lesbian from SPN so I think ur okay?
Inquisition
Blackwall: Redemption Arc 101. Love him to bits. Sad dad bunwall. good man. actually atoned for his sins by actively becoming a good person. his initial design is 80% hotter im so sorry but so not.
Cassandra: was way browner in the last game. would romance the fuck outta her. I love me a butch lady who melts at my dorky recitation of poetry. BioWare is a coward. also is the worst choice for divine. but not a bad person. could use some more guidance or get her ass whipped by a dalish elf about religion or a circle mage kid whos like “yeah bud i didn’t ask for the templars to whip my ass everyday for existing.”
The Iron Bull: I think the Qunari/Vashoth were a little based off black people (the whole anti blackness thing where ppl are scared of them bcc of whatever reason) and it pisses me off that he had a weird ass dubcon thing with Dorian in banter. It doesn’t make sense— he’s an A+++ dom and would not jump straight in role play without at least checking in at first like wtf BioWare.
Cole: his mother was chasind so he’s like not supposed to be that white? or like biracial? albino? idk. love him to bits tho. He’s neurodivergent and I deadass love him. romancing him? idk. I see why ppl think it’s fuckin nasty but also like as a writer I’d age him the fuck up so fast before my inquisitor even THOUGHT about that. like idk. I’m down with him being a sweet little bro character tho. he’s a babe. love him.
Sera: had the worst fucking writer I’ve ever seen and I willingly read the twilight saga twice by a shit ass racist white lady who okay’d pedophilia. like. Fuck you Kristjanson suck your own dick you fuck. had the worst options in regards to speak to her. has a thicc case of internalized racism that literally most of the fandom just loves to use against her. my lesbian neurodivergent queen. Would write a thousand fix it fics for her. Love her to bits. im gay.
Varric: I haven’t played DA2 so i don’t get why everyone wants to romance him but like. a dwarf romance? yes please. Idk he reminds me of my uncle so I only see him as fun uncle material. Deadass should adopt Cole and Merrill and co parent with Blackwall for Sera. dads? fuck yeah. love me some wholesome, present fathers.
Dorian: is a gay stereotype that I love/hate so much. and he’s also just as bad about being a creep bcc he sexualizes qunari men (in banter). I attribute that to shit writing tho. I want to protect him from all the “omg gay best friend!” people. he’d clearly be that tired gay that wouldn’t give a diddly damn about ur het romance. wanna talk about politics? he’s ur guy/gay.
Solas: “me, an intellectual:”. I don’t hate him, but I’m not about him. He comes off as mysterious and suave (which he totally is) but I deadass would not save him from himself because he’s a racist, exclusionist eggshell. idk. not my cup of tea, but I can totally see the appeal. And he’s interesting, I’ll totally say that. “I think the Dalish are garbage but they made you” is not a compliment. it’s so offensive. and such bait for “quirky girls” which I’m no fan of. Would be Achilles and let Patroclus (Lavellan in his case) die before he realized how his pride is literally a waste of time. If he gets a redemption arc I hope Lavellan gets to slap him before getting him to teach all about ancient Arlathan and show that the Evanuris weren’t all total dicknozzles. (Aka I really have a hard time believing that they’d be slavery cult things. especially since they’ve compared elves to indigenous ppl, Jews and the Romani.)
Vivienne: it’s so racist that they’d make a black woman be pro-slavery. That’s such internalized racism. She could’ve been the cool ass “educate yourself first before you speak, fool” ice lady, but NO. the devs could’ve kept the “Templars are a tool that I proudly can mandate” and the “circles are very good education” and we. Could. Have. Romanced. Her. Like. Fuck. Sake. I just wanna give her a hug and say “love yourself omg!!” and not even in a romantic way. Also: she and morrigan should not have been so antagonistic towards each other. I’d expect them to have great respect for each other, as they both moved up in the world through hardwork and very little help. They could learn different magic from each other too and still maintain that rival respect “oh you” mood. Sidenote: probably the cooler option for Divine. if her approval is high enough she’ll love and be loyal to you forever and i can’t see her agenda being bad. she improves the circles exponentially and tells all the antis to suck her pretty painted toes.
Josephine: an actual disney princess. romanced her my first playthrough. I love her so much. she just makes me so happy. And she’s like: “Integrity, Loyalty, peace. That is what it means to be a GREY WARDEN good fucking person.” she’s the person who would let you hold her hand if you got anxious and she’d be that person who shouldered the whole group project with finesse and poise and would probably lie for everyone as to not be mean. i love josie. her and leliana’s relationship is so cute, too. whether it’s romantic or not: women supporting women.
Leliana: if you leave her hardened you must hate her. why. she becomes so against herself. i like how shes feminine and lighthearted because that’s so powerful-- to remain hopeful when the world is hopeless. (its hard to know when to soften her/harden her so i get it but. google it. she deserves to be happy and sweet again.)
Cullen: uwu war criminal with shit ass “redemption arc” that was actually a half-assed (at BEST) recovery arc. Recovery isn’t linear, it isn’t pretty, and even the broken need to be told they are wrong in order to heal right. Like I’m offended by that bullshit. I’ve had to do some mental health recovery in the past and unlearning lots of toxic ideologies— which I’m still unlearning— and it bothers me that he gets an easy pass because he’s hot. It’s one thing if you like Cullen, it’s another thing if you hold him accountable.
