Can't stop thinking about the fact that Wriothesley is a former underground boxer.
Was it... legal? Did he do it for money? For the thrill? He's called a "Duke" now, but it's unclear if that was a title awarded for his ascension to the head of the Fortress of Meropide (like the monarch "knighting" outstanding people (Sir Patrick Stuart for example)). It's perfectly likely that he had a humble start in life.
The livestream also confirms that Wriothesley is a somewhat recent addition to Meropide, so I'd say he's only had this role for a few years at most. Does that mean he was boxing up until recently too?
Wriothesley is covered in scars (there's a huge one on his neck)... Is that from his past? Did someone pull a knife out in a fight, or was he attacked afterward from some disgruntled opponent?
If this was an illegal practice, he could have been set up to lose a fight and refused, then attacked by whatever mob bosses he fucked over.
Idk. I enjoy the idea that in his younger years he wasn't quite so upstanding - I have this image in my mind of little twenty-something Wriothesley getting caught when the underground fighting ring got taken down. Everyone's put on trial but really Neuvillette & the courts care about the organisers, not the fighters that got caught in the crossfire. And Wriothesley is all freshly scarred and clearly not guilty of all the financial crimes going on behind the scenes.
Obviously there's some class disparity in Fontaine. Wriothesley has that voiceline "don't break the law... seriously" but he also reformed Meropide and treats the reasonable inmates as equals. Imagine if that came from his history, seeing his peers be punished for actions that society forced them into. And maybe Wriothesley got off lightly, but he'd be able to empathise with all the people who didn't.
And there's that official art of Wriothesley and Neuvillette in the office together, which obviously doesn't confirm that they have met (yoimiya & Kaeya art lol), but they almost certainly have. So I wonder if it was that near miss with a guilty verdict that put Wriothesley on Neuvillette's radar. Neuvillette is caring, so maybe he took steps to help the people who got caught up in the fighting, including Wriothesley. And it's those connections that later allow Wriothesley to take a position in Meropide, making the reformations that treat those who are guilty more fairly.
Anyway yeah. Wriothesley.

FANFICTION: Weasley Twins x Reader (Slytherin Girl) - Part 30
WARNINGS: mentions of child abuse
"No," you say out loud, taking your hand back.
It's not right for a student to be punished with physical harm (or any kind of harm for that matter). You're not one hundred percent sure that's what Professor Umbridge has planned for your detention, but the possibility of it is enough to keep you from entering her office. Just as you turn around to head back down to the Great Hall, you find Fred and George running towards you up the stairs.
"Y/n!" the twins call out to you, and butterflies in your stomach come to life at hearing them say your name.
"Fred! George!" you reply, grinning as relief flows over you now that you've made the decision not to go to detention with Umbridge.
"Don't do it!" George huffs, panting heavily.
"I know you're accustomed to being a goody-goody, but this isn't worth it," Fred wheezes.
You snort and roll your eyes. "Not to worry; I don't need convincing. I'm hardly a 'goody-goody' after sticking around you two almost everyday since the beginning of the school year."
The twins share a sigh of relief.
"Dinner!" you exclaim. "I get to have dinner!"
"Hooray!" the twins shout.
"We'll have to be quick about it," Fred says as the three of you link arms and start for the Great Hall. "If you're not here for detention, Umbridge has no reason not to eat her own supper in the Great Hall, too."
And quick you are. (You've now disobeyed Umbridge twice within the last five hours, and you aren't eager to see what she'd do if you ran into her again.) You and the twins rush down to the Great Hall, gather as much food as you can carry, then run up to Fred's and George's dorm. All of the students should be having dinner at the moment, so now there is much less of a risk that you'll cause a fuss being seen in the Gryffindor common room.
You practically fall onto George's bed in exhaustion. "I'm never going up another flight of stairs for as long as I live," you cough, then abruptly realize that you're lying on George's bed. You sit up in a hurry, accidentally sending rolls flying out of your pockets. You go to pick up the rolls and hope that if your face is red Fred and George will believe it's because you'd been running.
The twins chuckle, looking just as, if not a little less, fatigued than you. Fred slumps down against the wall by the door while George takes a creaky, wooden chair on the other side of the room.
After gathering all of the fallen bread, you split the number between the three of you. Fred sets a bowl of green beans and noodles on the floor along with four oranges. George reveals more rolls and a whole bottle of "Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice", and you and George let out an approving whoop.
The three of you have gotten closer to share the food and are now all sitting on the floor in a circle. You eye the bowl of loose, wet green beans and noodles as you peel an orange and laugh. "I'd use 'Accio' to summon a fork for that, but that seems dangerous."
"Hmm. I didn't think about that," says Fred. "I wonder..." He proceeds to take out his wand, point it at the mess of food, and say, "Wingardium Leviosa," performing the swish and flick wand method.
Everyone watches silently as a single noodle rises slowly into the air. You giggle.
"I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that works I suppose," George snorts.
"Open wide, y/n!" Fred says, guiding the noodle over to you. You open your mouth, but the noodle lands on your nose and the three of you laugh.
About an hour later, after most of the food is gone, the realization of your situation finally sinks in.
"Oh, I'm just dreading what Umbridge might do to me," you groan.
"Here, have some fizzy orange juice," Fred says, taking a swig before passing the bottle.
You laugh weakly, "Drowning my worries in pop won't do me any good," but you drink it anyway.
"Don't you bother your pretty little head. What's she gonna do anyway? Expel you?" George snickers. He stops when he sees your expression change as you remember your conversation with Malfoy from earlier that day.
"...I'll just have to wait to make my complaints until after she's become headmistress," Malfoy had said. "Then she could do some real damage."
"Yeah. She might." You take a long drink.
"She couldn't," George says. "She doesn't have that kind of power... Even if she did, would it be so bad?"
Fred shoots George a look that you can't interpret, but before you can ask what it's for, Fred says, "You seem... irrationally concerned about this, y/n..."
"I'm not," you sigh. You then go on to tell the twins about your run in with Malfoy and his claims. Fred and George are quiet for a moment afterwards, but they handle it well altogether.
"I wouldn't be surprised actually," George says, clicking is tongue in disappointment.
Fred nods. "Me neither. She's gotten this far... I wasn't going to mention it because I didn't want to be the bringer of bad news, but have you heard about Professor Trelawney?"
Your stomach tightens. "Oh, no. What happened?"
"Since our last class with her," Fred speaks slowly. "Umbridge had her... sacked."
"What?!" you exclaim. "She can't do that!"
"Apparently, she can," George sighs. "Dumbledore couldn't do anything about it, other than demand that Trelawney still be allowed on school grounds."
"That's terrible..." You are truly sad. Despite the divination teacher being rather unpopular with most of the students, you have always been fond of Professor Trelawney, more so than any of your other professors even.
"I'm sorry, y/n. I know you'll miss her, lessons" Fred consoles.
The door suddenly swings open, and a couple of the twins' roommates walk into the room.
"Y/n. Hello," Lee Jordon greets you awkwardly. "You're early."
"Ah, yes. I'll just, er, leave then," you say, quickly standing. You don't want to be here when the boys change into their pajamas.
"We'll come with you," Fred and George say simultaneously, and they follow you out the door.
"Where do we go?" you ask, nervous as the few Gryffindor's in the common room stare as you pass.
"How about the Room of Requirement?" George suggests.
"I am all for it," Fred says, grinning slyly and nodding his red eyebrows at you.
"Pff, if we go to the Room of Requirement, we're going to finish our Nosebleed Nougat," you giggle, becoming flustered at the memory of snogging Fred earlier. You shove him playfully. (You're thankful when you and the twins exit the common room without any trouble.) "We're so close. And we won't need to bring any of our materials."
George clears his throat loudly. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
You're grateful for the distraction. When you get to the Room of Requirement, everything you need is there and ready to go. You immediately get to work, putting together the concoction you had made so many times previously. Knowing that they'd only get in your way if they tried to help, Fred and George sit back on a comfy couch kindly provided by the Room and watch.
About an hour later, you think you're done putting all of the ingredients into the bubbling cauldron when you notice a tiny, glass bottle that you hadn't bothered to pick up. You are sure that you hadn't missed anything when you prepped all of the needed components...
You pick up the bottle and bring it closer to your face to better view the label, watching the strange, brown liquid inside slosh around, and read "Siccativus".
It suddenly dawns on you that the Room of Requirement had produced absolutely every ingredient you knew you needed to make the nougat... What if it also produced something you didn't know you needed?
With shaky hands, you do your best to carefully pull the cork out of the glass bottle before pouring its contents into the cauldron. You stir the blue, syrupy liquid and watch as it gradually turns purple. Blue was always as far as you got... until now.
You wait in impatience for about five minutes to let the liquid cool and harden. Then, using a small knife (provided by the Room), you cut out a small, purple rectangle.
"Fred... George..." You mumble, fixated on the sweet in your hand.
Both twins have dozed off and don't hear you over their own snoring. "Hey!" you shout, and the twins startle awake.
"Huh? What?" George yawns, rubbing his eyes.
"Eat this," you say, reaching into his bag and pulling out an orange nougat. You stuff it into his mouth. "Chew. Quickly. I think I've got it this time."
At hearing this, both twins appear much more alert and aware. George swallows. Seconds later, his nose begins to bleed profusely. You give him the purple nougat. George chews. George swallows.
Everyone holds their breath in anticipation, and the seconds seem to pass all too slowly. It's difficult to tell if the bleeding has stopped because there is already so much blood. You curse under your breath and turn around to search for a towel. You find one has appeared neatly folded by the cauldron. You grab and toss it at George's face.
"Ah. Thank you," George grunts, wiping the blood off his face. You and Fred watch his nostrils earnestly, just daring more blood to dribble out, but it doesn't. George's nosebleed has stopped.

hey I don't know if you're taking requests but if you're not maybe you could save this for later? or ignore it at all haha I was wondering if you could write a yandere!sasuke and how would he "punish" his s/o for escaping.
Note: This was hard for me to imagine, I'm unsure why. I hope this is acceptable, I took a different approach with this, please enjoy.
⠀⠀⠀↳ Naruto Masterlist
TW: Toxic relationship, manipulation, violence/abusive topics, somewhat angsty.
Tumblr media
🍙 As most of my posts suggest, older and younger Sasuke would act differently. Older has a more level-headed approach and younger a more aggressive one. Although they are similar in some aspects, which reflects on their methods of punishment.
——"Did you miss my attention this much {Name}? You have it, now what will you do? "
——"Did you honestly think you could get away? You must enjoy making me chase you, right? "
🍙 Older Sasuke isn't visibly upset, yet displeased inside. His top priority would be to find you, make sure you're safe, then deal with your punishment. He has matured over time and has learned to control himself and think carefully. However, old habits die hard...
🍙 His punishment could go one of two ways, extreme manipulation or simply isolation. Since he's grown quite a bit he'll allow you to explain, yet it'll do little to alter the results. You'll lose all your freedom once you escape, it'll take time to earn it back.
——"I've been a little too trusting of you, haven't I? Was my trust really worth escaping for {Name}?"
🍙 Argue with me if you like, but there's no doubt in my mind if provoked enough he'd use his Tsukuyomi on you. This would be after endless times of you disobeying and going against his judgment. He wants what's best for you and he'll make you see the danger waiting for you on the other end.
🍙 If it must happen, he'll leave you in a genjutsu for days, making them feel like weeks until you understand. But he won't allow you to break, he loves you. Sasuke wants to protect your mind, body, and soul. Let's face it, Sasuke couldn't live without your sweet voice echoing throughout the house, he won't live.
——"{Name}, are you ready to come out? Don't cry, I'm here now...Though my patience is running thin, be good and don't run away again or it will only get worse."
🍙 Teenage Sasuke is undoubtedly blinded by rage, internally or externally. What he'd do when he finds you were the last thing on his mind. Though your penalty would line up with his sadistic nature.
🍙 He'll take you away, leaving various colored bruises on your skin with every pull of your arm. Throwing you into a room, forcing your arms above your head, using his free hand to grab your throat. To show your pain wasn't his true intentions but the resentment boiling in his chest had grown too much.
——"Sa..suke..you're hurting me...stop!" You sobbed as cold eyes stared into your frightened ones. You shut your eyes tight, awaiting your dark fate but it never came. Sasuke ran his tongue up your cheek, slowly licking your salty tears away.
——"Am I {Name}?"
🍙 Sasuke loses all trust in you and sees all faults in your excuses. He'll gaze at you, bathing in satisfaction at the look of fear and the tears brimming in your eyes. The Uchiha wants to scare you as you did him, to make you feel the pain he felt because of you I'm hopes of you never pulling that stunt again.
🍙 Holds you into a suffocating hug, telling you how much he wants...needs you to stay. "They've all betrayed me, don't abandon me like they did." His classic manipulation was more than enough to real you in. Old habits truly die hard.
——"When will you finally understand that you'll never escape me? Wherever you go you'll never be far enough away from me. I won't allow you to double-cross me."

I'm having so much trouble with that peacock demon thing. bc like Pavo's voice is easy, he's a posh guy who likes to pretend he's nice and make people squirm, he's vain and mean and that's enough to build off of. but Esti? the other half of that relationship? the little servant dude who's about to have the best sex of his life and one of the worst relationships ever? That twerp? I've got Nothing for him.
or like, what I've got for him Is nothing. He's a meek and soft spoken guy who grew up in a very dog eats dog village ruled by that guy who thinks blood sport is the best way to solve all disputes. He's a scrawny coward who's easily spooked and doesn't know anything other than this life. His father and mother were both high ranking in their village, until Pavo killed them both himself due to them trying to start a rebellion against him, Pavo only left Esti alive so that he could suffer at the lowest rung of their village, deeming him too weak to be worth killing.
but the way this all manifests in how he acts is a whole lot of Boring. He's a coward so he doesn't disobey orders, he doesn't talk out of turn because he's terrified of being punished, he flinches at the slightest movement, and is so beaten that he won't fight anymore.
The only thing he has going for him is curiosity, but he can't Act on that curiosity because of his fear.
But a less meek character doesn't work next to Pavo. There needs to be that contrast, and Esti does have to be that little bit pathetic to really fill his role of "sexy lamp for Pavo to bully and then later "save""
I'm considering making him half demon just to give him a little more weight to pull, but right now it feels like putting lipstick on a pig.
and like Esti Can't be cool, he can't secretly be badass, because the entire flow of the story is based on the fact he's something to motivate Pavo's anger and territorial nature. Esti has to be the old school damsel in distress so that Pavo can be both the dragon and the knight.
I think going to go put this story in a blender and start from scratch. Esti needs a new character and I'm leaning towards the idea of just changing up the timelines.
Esti's parents didn't die when he was little, they're still alive, and Esti is a knight in training, being mentored by Pavo directly because (flips coin) Esti's mother is a demon like Pavo and he sees great potential in Esti. the rebellion plan is kick-started by Esti seeing Pavo's reflection and telling his parents. few weeks later Pavo catches Esti stealing another glimpse and has him taken away to be dealt with later (at this point Pavo is hopeful he can make a stronger ally out of Esti and was planning on just having a proper chat about things) but Esti's parents see this as the now or never moment to kill Pavo, in an attempt to save their son. But of course they fail and Pavo is furious, both parents are killed and Pavo decides he has no interest in making a warrior out of Esti anymore. Now he's just going to break the boy and make him suffer for his parents' sins.
and there's the new point I'm not decided on. Does Esti know his parents are dead? Does he know this new hell has nothing to do with seeing Pavo's reflection?
I don't think he does. He believes his parents are alive, fully, Pavo even lies and says if Esti isn't good enough he'll make him watch when pavo kill's them.
But this had an unintentional side effect, one Pavo was not expecting in the slightest. Esti had been crushing on him for years, and had been in love with him ever since Pavo took him on as apprentice. Esti confesses to that, after weeks of Pavo breaking him completely.
and it's not regret Pavo feels, remorse maybe? a nostalgia for the life they couldn't have? Because maybe he had his own feelings for the darling half blood, maybe those feelings have only gotten stronger and stronger since the realization that Esti saw what he truly looked like, and hadn't turned away. Maybe it is regret he feels when he lays in his bed, Esti warm and mostly asleep at his side, and the looming threat of what will happen when Esti finds out the truth hanging over them. Sure Pavo had no intention of letting him leave, Esti finding out would change nothing between them, but Pavo dreaded loosing those sickly dregs of love Esti still felt for him.
Esti could never know.
Things almost fall into a rhythm, Pavo almost starts working up the courage to let Esti begin healing into this new shape Pavo has molded him.
and then Esti vanishes from their bedroom. His eyes left in a small wooden box in front of Pavo's mirror.
A challenge for Pavo to finally go face off against some ancient enemy if he wants to get what he loves back.

I read MID ch7 instantly when you posted it and had to take a couple of days to just to comprehend... uhm, some... feelings. So forgive me, since I've bottled this up and will result in a long message ... but the work is just so good I can't resist showering you with praise.
You live in my mind rent free.
I can't describe how cute and domestic everything was in the early parts then hOt, then just ditty dotty destroyed me in the later scenes.
The smut was... *clears throat, wipes forehead daintily*... it made me feel stuff that I should otherwise be used to in esp in this site, but when mid Tae told YN to behave I think it took my brain minutes to comprehend that I'm just reading a wonderfully crafted piece. And that no, I should not feel my knees to weaken and toes curl, but they did anyway. Gotta say, the mind is a powerful thing.
But as it turns out, SAMMY IS SO MUCH POWERFUL.
The whole trip with Jimin really solidified what was coming in the end of this chaoter, it tastefully and comprehensively vocalised the conversation about this whole feelings ordeal first with YN, and paved way for that earth shattering ending. I can't help but remember thay quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower when I was reading: "we accept the love we think we deserve."
Damn, really. While it hurts to see and more on resonate with how hard it is to accept love from others after certain unfortunate relationships (yn), I really commend you on choosing to write this realistically. I think her mindset towards this type of stuff, while not really the best, is well-built enough to show how hard and conflicting it is to see yourself have worth for love. And it isn't easy to change in a matter of moments, but it is worth changing this perception just as it is worth seeing and admitting when you love someone.
For me, it's also worth seeing that sometimes the love others give us are dependent on how much they treasure us, and that's theirs alone. It's not something that we get to decide no matter how much we think we shouldn't hsve it, but something that, at least here, is something they spend just as much thought and effort to ensure and choose.
Tae felt it in every chapter, intensely too, with his friends as witnesses. Of course deceit can always happen, but sincerity too. You can't punish yourselves for the deciet that others do. it's their lie, faulting the victim (hate u kiseok) won't do anything, and carefulness doesn't always mean you're always right about others' intentions. I cried so much for both of them, but I guess that we can't always understand love from each's point of view as clearly as they can; we just have to learn to accept it. And trust that maybe, or surely, that they do love us, and us them.
Your talent and hardwork speaks so genuinely to my mind when I read your work; I can't say enough to thank you for letting the world see this.
... And is it true? The murmurings from the street, the rumors falling from lips? MAKE-UP SEX? YN BTCH U BETTER HEAL THAT HAND fully OR I WILL BE THE ONE TO CAREFULLY MEDICATE U SO TAE CAN FUCK YOU INTO THE DEEP DIMENSIONS OF HIS LOVE AND CARE FOR U. AND U DO THE SAME TOO BTCH BETTER KISS ALL UR FEELINGS INTO HIM.
cuz if u don't, then i shall join forces with jimin and hana.
sorry for such a long mssg huhu, and for the bad interpretation chahahzhJJJjssjjakwks
NEVER SAY SORRY FOR LONG MESSAGES I’M A CERTIFIED WHORE FOR THEM 😤
“You live in my mind rent free” Showering me with praise??? I’M- I’m crying?? I don’t even know what to say omg 😭 ASLDJLDKJ please dom!tae has that power, and it’s really only a sneak peek of what happens when you disobey him because let’s be real, Y/N will do it again sksksk. Oh God, you’re so correct, I think it summarizes perfectly what’s going on between these two. In a sense, they’re both rejecting each other on the premise either of them is not deserving of the other’s love. “We accept the love we think we deserve”, such a beautiful quote that can explain two broken people trying to find a way to love each other 🥺
You’re correct again, the human mind is a wonderfully intricate system, and oddly takes a few seconds to destroy yet years to rebuild. Y/N’s mindset comes from not only years under the emotional (and sometimes physical we’ve seen) abuse she’s endured from her mother which can largely impact any child, but also from someone she was in love with for a long time only have that love taken advantage of and abused as well. It’s crippling to anyone’s mentality and skews the idea of love for them almost eternally. 
Taehyung is different because he’s never been in love before, it’s new and shiny and bright and so he fell hard and fast, he has no qualms about admitting he’s in love either because he doesn’t know the painful experience of falling in love and desires to finally be in love (only until this argument ofc) while Y/N denies it because she knows love is painful and doesn’t want to go through it again. 
Though you’re correct yet again, it will present itself in future chapters but ultimately, love as pure as theirs is unconditional and cannot be changed nor forgotten. It won’t matter what the other thinks, because the other will love them unconditionally, or love them until they believe them, because love is ours to give and cannot be defined nor appraised by any price. But alas, we can never truly know how someone else feels about us, so another great point, love is scary because we must trust in the depths of our hearts somebody loves us the same, and we must see how these two decide to trust each other on that.
You’re so kind for even taking the time to write such a long message elphie anon omg, it took me days to reply to you because I didn’t even know how to begin, but I had the stupidest grin reading your lovely message 🥺💕 thank you so much, truly, for always being so sweet and interactive. 
ALSO WAITTT “SO TAE CAN FUCK YOU INTO THE DEEP DIMENSIONS OF HIS LOVE AND CARE FOR U” WHY AM I CACKLING AT THIS I FELT THIS IN MY SOULLL OMG but yes I’m currently writing the smut scene and all I have to say is there’s a LOT going on, YES it shall be categorized as rough and nasty yet soft and passionate makeup sex because I'm a desperate whore😌
