it hurts me. the chaggie hurts me s o good
Vaggie having been such a great murder soldier (one of the best exorcists) (battalions worth of dead souls piled under her lost wings)
but Protect Charlie and Support Charlie became so important to her (the revelation of reaching out to strangers to heal hurts instead of causing them) she for real got out of practice with actual physical fighting bc she was busy helping Charlie with the emotional battles instead-
it feels so good.
it's such a big and happy difference, from vaggie the exorcist
she's fighting for her girl every time she holds Charlie's hand and it's NOT what she's trained for or is always good at, solving people problems without just stabbing anyone who hurts Charlie or gets in Charlie's way- soldier life bleeding through even when Vaggie tries so hard- (a life lived with the kind of people who would use cutting out someone's eye and ripping off their wings as a solution to a problem)
but she says herself she wants to be Charlie's ARMOR. she could have said spear, could have said she wants to be the blade that cuts through all Charlie's problems-
she doesn't want that. Amor, something that stays close, something not meant to hurt, something that isn't a weapon. not anymore
even if it (she) isn't used to that yet
and you know what. maybe that's what getting saved by Charlie actually meant.
Charlie didn't pull her down from heaven- she wasn't the reason that Vaggie looked at a kid in hell and couldn't go through with sticking a spear in them
but without Charlie, Vaggie could still have been a spear raised and redirected towards heaven. even after years in a peaceful life Vaggie still reaches for her spear so quick, how fast on the draw would she've been if Charlie wasn't there? hadn't been there?
(if kindness hadn't pulled her out of that alleyway, would the chance for revenge at the next extermination day have gotten Vaggie moving instead? would the first dead angel have been found years earlier- or would it have been her- a loose end that didn't unravel quietly getting neatly cut away?)
that didn't happen. Charlie was out looking to help people on extermination day. she did find Vaggie
and with Charlie, the spear is a prop more than anything else. part of Vaggie yes, probably forever- not a NEEDED one though. an old instinct always at the ready while not having to be used much anymore.
life with Charlie is Vaggie carrying a spear, sure.... and also growing out her hair. not being used to fighting with it long, because she hasn't had to be fighting
she's still been able to fight for girlfriend anyway
Charlie isn't asking power or wins from her. that's not what the princess of hells needs.
Charlie needs the hand that holds hers during a hard call with her dad, the hug waiting for her when she comes back after a bad day, the soft smile not judging her for telling herself stories when she's sad- likes that side of her, actually-
the woman who knows every embarrassing personal thing about Charlie because Charlie trusted her not to make fun of it, trusted that Vaggie loved her
Charlie needs the push of Vaggie's words telling her it's time to make that hard call to her dad in the first place, the later unshakable reassurance from Vaggie when Charlie breaks down crying before the battle (breaking down over not being able give Angel Dust the better life she promised, everyone in even more danger now instead)
and Vaggie (pragmatic, realistic, honest Vaggie) does not tell her that things will be okay and they'll win their upcoming fight- but that Charlie has already done so much.
if for no one else, then at the very least for Vaggie
Charlie really has, hasn't she. 'just' by seeing Vaggie as a person she saved her from being nothing but a soldier, a weapon, the hair trigger response of someone who learned trust on a battle field and had her body torn and scarred by the people she trusted-
but now Vaggie does the worst damage to the people who hurt her when she holds her girlfriend's hand. she grumbles but gives people chances, often stressed but just as often smiling in her new life with Charlie. she goes back up to HEAVEN (even though she really really doesn't want to) because her girlfriend takes her hand and askes her with big soft eyes and says they're partners- it's such a change from being a soldier following orders.
partnership is all Charlie's asking for
and fucking HELL if Vaggie hasn't answered by being there in the darkest moments, tugging Charlie gently back into the light of their shared dreams and the reality of having someone there to share them with
and uh, also getting charlie to call her dad
....and.... yeeting random lit bombs out the nearest new hole in their hotel, when someone hands it to her gf and charlie gets sidetracked trying to politely juggle the thing...
.....
how DID charlie manage before she equipped the smol spear gf??

hiatus brain has reached its critical mass and I've been drawing some Modern Human(!) AU TDP.
-I get why CEO human Aaravos is so popular (popular trope and work place romance fits the whole thing Aaravos and Viren have going on in TDP, also people like suits) BUT consider this: alt model w/ a lot of tattoos and dyed hair.
-Viren is very divorced as always u.u
-Aaravos is significantly older than Viren though no one knows his actual age
-no one knows anything about Aaravos at all. he just appeared one day to bother and torment Viren and maybe steal his money (slay.)
I'll post more soon- mostly Viren and Aaravos and Lissa, Claudia and Soren (maybe Sorvus?). Harrow and Sarai are there too to witness Viren being cringefail.

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?
Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.
Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?
Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.

[at the unmarked stack of rocks Claudia built where Viren fell]
Aaravos: *places his hand on the rocks and sobs*
Aaravos: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

#9 from the headcanon list for Amaya?
General physical contact headcanon
Amaya is physical with everyone she is remotely close to, even work friends, in the right setting. When she's on duty; stoic, demanding, respectable desistance. Off duty or speaking freely; light punches or pats to the shoulder or armor plates, a friendly thump on the helmet or a push. She is affectionate, offering hugs of congratulations to her soldiers who announce events like engagements, a birth, or birthdays; and hugs for condolences too. Everyone can tell how close they are to the general by how high she lifts, how enthusiastically she twirls them, and how tightly she squeezes. Covrus cried the day Amaya squeezed the air from his lungs.
Forehead touches are a little more personal. They are a thing for people she considers a true friend, or a family member. Like hugs they can be used for a happy occasion, or a sad one, though they do seem to lean more towards comfort than joy. Either way it's a nice way to show affection, but it has led to more than one accidently headbutts along the way.
Amaya likes to touch her partner. Face, arms, hands, physical touch is her love language. Little kisses and caresses are a must. If someone isn't okay with being randomly touched, she will respect that, but will also respectfully end things between them; this is one thing she really can't find it in herself to compromise on. Luckily, Janai is a little touched starved and is thrilled to have some contact.
She is a cuddler. Bad day? Comfort Cuddles. Good Day? Contented Cuddles. Long day? Relaxing Cuddles. Day off? Lazy Cuddles. There's a cuddle for every occasion, and she's there to provide any and all of them. If she goes too long without cuddles, she will get huffy and start demanding attention.
