Since I can never get enough of them, would you happen to have any more spare Demeter/Alonzo thoughts? Anything really - angst or fluff or anything in between ^_^

OH my god thank you for this, perfectly good I'm always thinking about them to!!

Fluff:

For Alonzo, Demeter is like a siren in the Jellicle Choir; he can hear her singing voice so clearly in each melody and note without having to listen out for it. Her voice was distinctive; it was honeyed, silky, and soothing to the ears. He feels content whenever he hears it; it fills him with so many emotions: comfort, nostalgia, and a longing to bring her closer, hold her tighter, and treasure her.

A particular moment of significance for him was hearing her sing lullabies to Jemima. Her voice was softer and quieter. As if she herself was still afraid, afraid Macavity might hear, like he was still there, but she remained so focused and dedicated that he couldn't help but admire her more.

Despite that, he never requested for her to sing. He thought that would ruin the authenticity of it all. It felt stupid to ask; remembering titles was out of the question, and the lyrics seemed to blur together for him. He did remember the melodies; however, Demeter seemed to never sing the same song twice. He did wonder how she knew so many, or if she would make them all up on the spot.

The one-time Alonzo did remember the lyrics clearly was the morning after the ball. They were alone again in the emptiness of their den while Demeter examined him for any serious damages after his fight with Macavity. He was still indignant but was just trying to force himself to sleep. It wouldn't have worked; he would've stared at the cloth that made up their roof all day and thought of what more he could've done, and Demeter knew that. Funnily enough, when she laid by his side and sang, it was the first time he'd ever heard a lullaby directed towards him.

Angst:

Alonzo told Demeter his third name, only her, and generally that’s seen as extremely taboo in the tribe. Not in an ostracized way, but more cursing yourself for misfortunes; that’s why it needs to remain secret between a jellicle and the everlasting cat. By telling it to another, you placed them above the everlasting cat in your heart and mind.

But Demeter made the same mistake before; she told Macavity and lived to regret it. To be fair to her, she was pushed to show her commitment to him and to him alone. Macavity was possessive like that; he needed to be the one she held above all else; it was the only way he felt secure that she wouldn’t ever leave or love another.

She told him hers, but he couldn’t bring himself to share his own. He just held her, and that was enough in the moment. Looking back, she wished she had confronted him or said anything about it. She figured he would, in time, but he never did. It felt as if she were beneath him.

It was a pain and a choice she’s only ever confessed to having done with Alonzo; she didn’t want to relive that moment or that awful memory beyond that. But when Alonzo told her his own after, she informed him he shouldn’t have—it felt wrong to know, she didn’t want to know—he upset her when that was far from his intention and he hated himself for it.

His love for Demeter was his strength and his undoing in that way- he was always so reckless when it came to her.

Demeter did tell him hers after she calmed down again: she wanted them to be equals; she didn’t want to be above someone she had learned to love again for.

shorter one:

Demeter is quite literally an ice cube when it comes to weather reacting with her fur; she doesn’t get cold easily, but when she does, Alonzo is typically the first to notice. With him being a longhair cat, he’s almost always warm, so when winter comes, Demeter is more often cuddled up with Alonzo. She doesn’t say anything, though; she doesn’t need to. She normally just leans into him; Alonzo won’t admit it, but the chill does shock him sometimes, but it’s also so soothing

Honestly ever since I saw your post of sillabub being their kitten that has been my canon for them, so I do have some head canons based on that: (All Baby!bub btw)

Alonzo’s never been around newborn kittens often enough before joining the junkyard to be aware of their habits, so whenever Sillabub would waddle around and suddenly fall on her back, he’d panic and sometimes scoop her up to make sure she wasn’t hurt, only to discover she was completely fine. He saw her as almost “too fragile,” which wasn’t completely irrational; she was born earlier than expected and needed additional attention compared to the average kit. But to Alonzo, it was like she was made of glass.

So much so that while she was still small, he preferred holding her by the scruff or in his arms rather than letting her follow along.

Ironically, this birthed a rather cheeky habit in Sillabub; she would often bap her dad's spots whenever he was holding her for a longer period of time. The spots weren't completely noticeable from a distance, but they were there—small black spots throughout a bronze and brown coat. Even when she woke up in his arms, she’d often bang him awake.

Alonzo didn’t understand how or why this became a habit, but at most he didn’t mind; he’d pretend her soft little paw would make any impact on him, often with a louder gasp of indignation that would make Sillabub giggle (and bap him again).

Demeter would use this to her advantage; whenever Alonzo was particularly reluctant to get up in the morning (he always would get up; it was just slow progress), she’d often set Sillabub on his back or his stomach and let her bap away until he was wide awake again and could pick her up.

In the rare cases where Sillabub got too excited and wouldn't stop bapping her father, Demeter would make the claim that if she didn't, all his spots would fall out. Normally, Sillabub would say sorry right after, and of course she's immediately forgiven. (Silly HC, but she thinks that's why Victoria's white.)

Sillabub, like her sister, started talking later than the typical kitten. Most of her communication was just mewing and coos. Whenever she didn’t want something, she’d show it through her actions. Like whenever her mom or dad offers her another piece of food after she’s already full. She’d often try to feed it to them instead by holding the piece in her mouth and trying to approach her parents’ muzzles. She’d normally end up tapping the food next to their mouths instead of actually feeding them. Demeter always politely declines, while Alonzo tries to encourage her to have one last piece. But Sillabub shakes her head and keeps trying; if she could talk at that stage, she’d insist her parents needed food too; they did eat; she was just too busy munching to see.

This is a pro not skipping “The Moments of Happiness”, “Gus the Theatre Cat” and “The Ad-dressing of Cats” space.

#like especially compositionally the way old deuteronomy blends into moments blends into memory blends into gus is like #THE goat #like when that orchestration hits just right? that's the ticket that is *spiritual*#chills every time #the addressing of cats is just operatic prowess and it stays where it is and yes absolutely old d should get that last powerful note in #perfection in all its forms my friends #extemporize back chat #new ask game guess which songs jemi actually skips if the mood should so suit her

Thank you, Sammy! I've never known that wood elves are usually poly, but I'd like to know (if you have this information, of course)...Do they start a family? Or family concept is not for them?

If I'm remembering correctly (@ride-a-dromedary is MUCH better at elf lore than me, if you want to ask her as well!) it isn't at all uncommon for young wood elves to have multiple people they consider parents. Even outside of poly, the concept of family is REALLY important to wood elves, and often young elves will be raised by extended family just as much as immediate. (Am I getting that right, Jemi?)

from @cadencekismet for the wip ask game: ALWRT Mr. Hendrix

context: eagle-eyed readers will remember my OC Mr. Hendrix from his appearance in the custard pie appreciation consortium, where I introduced him as Jemis's replacement bookstore assistant. In true fashion, this incidental background character quickly grew a whole background and personality. This is another story that I'm sure will change before it sees the light of day, but I'm still very, very fond of him.

snippet ~

One of the nice things about working for Jemis Greenwing was that he allowed Laurence Hendrix’s friends to use the bookshop after hours for their monthly literary salon.

This… sounded much fancier than it was. The Salon was really just an excuse for them to get together and discuss the romances they’d been reading, the romances they’d been living, and the romances they were following around town. Mr. Hendrix–and he did usually go by such, for while he liked his given name, having chosen it himself, he greatly liked being known as Mr. Hendrix–was more interested in discussing books than in gossiping. Unfortunately, he was usually voted down. They usually spent roughly equal amounts of time on each of the three activities.

This month they were discussing, in no particular order: The Lady’s Last Dance, Fiona’s ongoing courtship with a lass from Ragnor Parva, and the Duke of Fillering Pool’s recent visit to the barony.

It was a good thing Mr. Greenwing made himself scarce on Salon evenings. Mr. Hendrix would have been mortified if he were to overhear any of this.

16, 17, 29

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?

I think it might be Father-Son Relationship? that or Queer Relationships. The Mr. Buchance fics are all separate tiny one-shots, so there's 3 of them vs 1 of wby and 1 of wby timestamps.

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

This is ao3 wrapped, so I'm assuming it has to be in something published, and therefore I cannot say my Gambler from FaeBullshit wip :p in which case…

Hmm. I know I listed Roald and Perry as my most difficult, which you'd think would make Jemis my favorite. And I do love writing him, but writing the other two is also a blast, Roald is a delight and Perry. Perry I Get. Do I have to choose? I love all of them. There's a reason wby is all three POVs and switches at the drop of a hat :D

29.Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

oh gods, ask the hard one why don't you :p Umm. I'll do two and italicize the parts I like best?

I like Perry's whole speech in the chapel, but especially the end of this paragraph:

“We want to ask you to be ours, and be yours. Whatever the hell that looks like; it’s not like we know, either, Mr. Greenwing.” Perry smiles a fraction, then lets it fall away. “We just know that we want you with us for the rest of our fucking lives, and that doesn’t take a marriage or a magistrate. All it takes is you wanting it with us.”

And the whole of the consent discussion re: Lark is important to me, but I am pretty pleased with the imagery in this bit, where Perry takes Jemis's wrists and helps him stop panicking:

“Had to see to his wildings,” Perry says, low and gentle, and Jemis does not flee when his friend steps close, nor even when he carefully takes both Jemis’s wrists in his hands, fingers like manacles, like braces, like bandages. “Breathe with me. One, two, three.”

@storyweaverofgondor‘s Cats-pril day 4: tail! It took me a hot moment to work out what I wanted to do with this one, but I went for Jemima, who was a new character for me to write. Also on Ao3 here.

Jemima crouched down, her target in sight. She would get it for sure this time, she knew it. She had hunted this target for many moons now, no longer would it escape her!

A flash of grey flicked before her eyes, like the pendulum of the big fancy clock in Bustopher Jones’ favourite club. Her mother had taken her there with her once to see Uncle Bustopher about grown-up things, and Jemima had been hypnotised by the massive wooden clock. Uncle Bustopher had called it a “grandfather clock”. It had made her wonder then, if there were dad clocks, or mum clocks, or baby kitten clocks. She had scoured the Junkyard the next day for any evidence of this, but all she had found was an alarm clock. There must be different breeds of clock, she thought, like how Uncle Misto was a Tuxedo, and Rumpleteazer was a Calico.

Her target swished before her again. Damn, she couldn’t lose focus like this! This was a tricky target, it required her full attention. She was crouched beneath an old coffee table, hidden from the main square of the Junkyard. Her small size was her advantage here, no other Cat would be able to fit in this space. It was perfect for the hunt.

The target was on top of the table, dangling towards the ground, right before her eyes. But this one was flighty. It was hard to catch, and never stayed in the one place for long. Even in sleep, it eluded her.

But not today. Jemima took a deep but quiet breath, and pounced. Her paws wrapped around her target and she let out a squeal of delight, as the Cat whose tail she had grabbed tumbled off the coffee table and landed beside her.

“I got you, daddy! I finally caught you!”

“No! You got me, now I must yield the Junkyard to you!” her dad chuckled, his stripy silver tail flicking in her grasp.

“You let your guard down, Daddy, that was your mistake!”

“You’re just too clever for me, Jemibubs, I thought you’d given up!”

Munkustrap rolled onto his back, pulling his daughter in for a hug. Pounce On Dad’s Tail had been their game for a while now, and Jemi had taken it so seriously. His Kitten would be a wonderful hunter when she grew up, he had no doubt.

“What will be your first rule, as the new Junkyard Queen, Kit?” he asked. Jemi’s face scrunched up as she thought. Everlasting, she was growing so fast, but she would always be his cute little Kitten.

“I will make bagpipe practice every day!” she declared, and Munk let out a dramatic groan.

“No, Jemibub, Kit, please! Think of Mummy and Daddy’s poor ears!”

“Me and Uncle Tugger will play all night long!” she giggled. She wriggled free from his embrace and scampered in the direction of Tugger’s den, presumably to tell him the good news. He watched her go with a fond smile. He’d put up with the bagpipes, if only for his daughter.

Hi anon!,

For the series send me ships and I'll give my brutally honest opinion:

part I

part II

Let's go ahead and since in your ask you've divided it by fandoms let's do the same in my reply! A little premise, this doesn't meant to offend in any way the shippers of any of the ships I will be brutally honest about.

Ship what you wanna ship and enjoy what you wanna enjoy. This is just my opinion on why I like or not these ships.

ASOIAF

SANSA AND MARGAERY

To be brutally honest I don't hate it outside of canon.

In canon even though it can be considered one of the purest relationships Sansa lives (and it's because it's depicted by her POV) I really hope it never happens in any circumstances.

Albeit growing fond of Sansa we can't forget that Margaery is a manipulator who is doing the dirty job by gaining Sansa's friendship and loyalty to further forward her family's ambition and tho it's an ugly game the one they are playing, and as she is herself says in show!verse, because I can't recall that happening in book!verse at all, “women in our position should make the best of their circumstances” it makes the way Sansa honestly feels about her and their friendship sound even more like a fraud.

Sansa considers Margaery her truest friend in Kings Landing after Jeyne is taken away from her, and thinks that her presence and unfailing kindness changed everything for her. Because Margaery made her feel appreciated and loved and wanted, completely opposite as how Sansa has been treated as a pariah.

And all the while Margaery has been instead manipulating her to get through her, the claim to Winterfell and the North for her family at which point with a queen on the throne and a Warden of the North in the family, their riches and being the granary of the 7K, the Tyrells would have become virtually unstoppable.

I don't doubt Margaery grew fond of Sansa (what's not to grow fond of, of a girl who puts in jeopardy her life to tell you the truth, a truth you already know, about the king you're supposed to marry only so that you are spared the abuse she suffered?) as did Garlan who took the time to comfort her at her marriage feast.

Still, I feel like Margaery was succeeding in what Littlefinger has been trying to do all along. Using the right key she was managing to gain Sansa's loyalty and a Stark loyalty is a powerful thing (especially with the might of the North at their back).

It makes every moment shown between them in the show or in the book sound even worse and sour in my mouth.

Tbh Sansa is going to realize exactly how easily the Tyrells framed her for Joff's murder, uncaring if that threw her even further in the mouth of the lions (for however knowing of it Marg was). She'll probably always think fondly of Margaery for the kindness she has shown her, because that is who Sansa is, but I doubt she's ever going to trust her implicitly like she did in KL ever again in canon.

Sansa is afraid she's never going to be loved in any capacity beyond what her claim means to the people around her, it's why, I believe she's going to appreciate Jon all the more in canon because boy is out there defending her claim only because it's hers , no matter which last name she sports, going against his own ambition (which he himself describes as hunger) to instead defend her.

So... on a scale 5/10 in canon because of all manipulation going on. Outside of canon I am all for supporting relationships and as far as I am aware that is the nature of their ship outside of canon so: good for them!

By Dan I'm going to assume you mean Daenerys. So let's go ahead.

SANSA AND DAENERYS

Okay, time to be brutally honest here.

Had Daenerys be a male, Sansa would've been meant for her. It's why the whole Jon/Sansa and Young Griff/Sansa make historic sense.

Sansa is based off several historical figures, but mostly she's based off Elizabeth of York and Elizabeth Tudor.

The heir to the dynasty which has been overthrown returning with the might of three dragons, and the girl (the eldest surviving child) who is the heir apparent to another great family/dynasty with two brothers presumed dead, the daughter by a lord beloved by the kingdom and beloved she herself. Soft and feminine, but with a will of steel. With a dubious relationship with her uncle (LF is her uncle by marriage).

It makes historic sense.

But in canon GRRM has gone with a different twist of this story and has created two Elizabeth's. Sansa and Arianne. I am a firm believer that Young Griff might really be Elia's son, and I think a marriage alliance with the Martells through Arianne would make sense, tho I think in the end Arianne is going to end up with Daemon Sand (a bastard with a valyrian name, would you look at that?). Kind of like Jon, who I refuse to believe might be considered trueborn, because in the show they might have given him several part of Young Griff's plot in the books and Sansa.

Also I believe that both the North and Dorne are going to go free (the swords of the northerners and the dornish are the only ones that are not in the Iron throne, which is symbolic and might mean they will break off the 7K and be the queen/princess guiding their people and beloved by them), beyond their romances.

To top of that, in canon, Martin has taken every care in the world to make Sansa and Daenerys as similar as he can, whilst making them completely different and setting them up to become moral and political rivals. He made Daenerys to be Cleopatra and Sansa to be her Octavian.

I actually wrote an entire post based mostly on show canon, but it also applies to book canon (even more actually) in which I give clues as to why they've been set up from the beginning to become political and moral rivals (might actually upgrade that one with visual clues and textual clues in the book at one point). You can find it here.

I think that the greatest part of Daenerys tragedy is that hers is the story of how an abused and how the trauma she endured has turned her to what she is slowly becoming. Had she had a better example to learn of, someone to look up to that might teach her the right ways she might have turned completely different. Had she known the real love of her family, she might have turned out differently. Had she had been able to get the help she needed to overcome her trauma and the coping mechanisms she had to use to survive, she might have turned out completely differently. But as it is, it didn't happen and that's the root of her tragedy.

And I think that that is also what differentiates her from Sansa. She's not a bad girl to start off, just like Sansa isn't...both suffer terrible abuse and survive but they have had different examples in their life and when Sansa knows plenty well the difference between love and fear, in Daenerys' journey they often overlap, which makes them fundamentally different in their core and ends up pitting them against one another.

So in canon -10/10; outside of canon, it can be very fun to write and read.

[I myself have a couple of fics about them, tho I've not dedicated near enough time to them as I should've. One is a twisted version of Robin Hood with Daenerys as Robin Hood and Sansa as lady Marian, and another is a modern AU.]

JON AND DAENERYS

In canon (both show!verse and book!verse) I believe that if it happens it's going to be about Jon pulling a 007 on us all, like he already did with Ygritte and the wildlings. It makes textual sense because again, Martin has taken all the care in the world to ensure that Jon and Daenerys are at the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to rule.

Also, the answer to Jon's prayers and dreams is Sansa, not Daenerys. So a bit like the Jon/Arya ship it would take away everything he wants from him to ship him with Daenerys and at the same time Jon is not Daenerys type at all.

As I've already said and actually spoke about in another meta, in Daenerys' life love/power/fear overlap and her type is the rogue, dangerous men capable of doing anything, even killing without any remorse (Drogo and Daario).

BookJon is several time more interesting than showJon, he's petty and clever and politically astute (I mean, boy managed to get the Iron bank to give the Watch a loan whilst drunk and seventeen; and he swapped two children, possibly putting them both in peril in a desperate attempt to save them from an horrific death) also I think, after all he did to save Mance's son was to make sure neither baby could be sacrificed at Melisandre's call; when he gets whiff of Stannis sacrificing Shireen at Melisandre's counsel (or doing so because spurned by all of Melisandre talks about kingsblood) he is going to trust Daenerys even less, especially if what has been shown in the show (her meeting Kinvara and having the red priestess starting to claim she is the princess who was promised and Melisandre being in Dragonstone when Jon gets there or wherever they will have that encounter) happens in the books as well. Which I believe it might, since dragons are fire made flesh and the red priests and priestess think that fires washes all sins and terrors away.

So, beyond Jon loosing everything he ever wished for, it would go against Jon's own character ever falling in love with her, but it would be completely in character for him to go ninja undercover on her and do whatever it takes to get the dragons to defend Winterfell, the North and his family. What more, Jon is by now, bleeding out dead in the snows of Castle Black and as per my theory about resurrected characters in asoiaf (on which I am working on to post, I promise, to anyone still waiting for it) Jon died a Stark defender, that is the core of his identity and that is what he'll be in his most pure form when he returns to life, especially after being in Ghost for so long.

Also, the way they depicted in the showverse might actually be pretty telling of what may happen in book canon and that's terrible.

Also, not only would Jon loose everything he ever wanted, but the way I've seen this ship depicted (not that I've given it way too much attention beyond what I've written for them in historical AU) it always kind of makes Jon blend in the background and Daenerys get everything she wants sometimes even stepping on what Jon cares for, which is what they gave us in show canon. To Jon the most important part of his identity are the Starks. He is the youngest child biologically speaking, but he is one of the big brothers of House Stark, and that is his core. He died because he wanted to break millennia of neutrality of the Watch to save his sister. And often this ship ends up suppressing this side of Jon.

So -5/10 both in show canon and book canon.

DAENERYS AND MISSANDEI

I'll go ahead and assume you meant only show verse, because we've got more than enough of Daenerys with Irri in the books to be sick with it, and with the way Daenerys stops it not because Irri doesn't enjoy it but because her not enjoying it was blatant enough that her kisses tasted of duty; she didn't stop because she felt like it was wrong to use another human being that way, but merely because she herself did not enjoy being kissed as if it was a duty.

Show verse Daenerys and Missandei had that gal-to-gal friendship depicted with Daenerys even braiding Missandei's hair, which I don't think ever happened in the books, tho I may be wrong. And Missandei is the only one Daenerys goes back for to KL, even tho she lost a number of other allies (The Sand Snakes and Yara Greyjoy), so I can see why some people may find it appealing to their tastes for the way the show depicted it, plus they're both hot and determined young women.

Why I think it shouldn't be applied in the books? It'd make it essentially grooming on D part.

In the books to begin with Missandei is a child, younger than Daenerys whom Daenerys says she wants to protect, whom she takes into her service after buying her from the masters in Astapor and whilst (besides the slaves at the end of Dany X in AGOT) Missandei is the only other former slave Daenerys frees but she does so with the intention of gaining her loyalty long enough to gather information from her about the Unsullied and how to move once she had bought them. Which subsenquentially spurns her to make them ever loyal only to her, slaves in all, save in name, because she never truly frees them, what she does it overlap the concept of freedom with that of dracarys and being the dragon's, all with the scourge still in hand.

So, I can see some of the appeal in show verse and it's pretty wholesome as far as Daenerys' relationships go in being depicted in the show 6/10

RHAEGAR AND LYANNA

Talk about another man grooming a child into a relationship. Okay, I'll hold off the gun because we aren't given too much context here, but what we've got is that Rhaegar was a twenty-four years old man with wife and children, obsessed with a prophecy who essentially eloped with a girl of barely fourteen years of age.

Now whilst such an age difference wouldn't have been the greatest possible in that historical context what makes it worse is that Lyanna was a highly dedicated to her family and romantic young lady and that Rhaegar was already married and with two kids.

What happened was that either he abducted her (like Robert claimed) or persuaded her to elope with him (like the show would suggest). Possibly he married her in some kind of secret marriage (which would defeat the point of not causing a fucking war and would bastardize his children, which it's hinted that it's not what he wanted, since he believed Aegon, his son by Elia, to be the Prince who was promised) or not, but then he sired a child from her, didn't account for his crime and let his father execute his wife/lover's father and brother thus provoking a war and alienating his wife/lover from her family. He then took her and secluded her in a fucking tower in Dorne (the homeland of his left behind wife just to be even more of a jerk) not even once trying to amend the problems he had caused.

What we know of Lyanna as per reverse, is that she was fiercely loyal to her House and loved her father and brothers (the only line we know by her was “That is my father's bannerman you are kicking!” when she defended Howland Reed at Harrenhal and she then entered the tourney secretly to avenge him) and we have to believe that that same girl would just accept her husband/lover secluded her in Dorne and fought against her family and accept her father and brother had been brutally killed?

Not bloody likely.

What I think more likely is that Rhaegar might have taken a fancy to Lyanna because of her youth and her determination, for she might have reminded him of Visenya's temperament and since he wanted to recreate the whole Aegon and his sisters, with Elia unable possibly to carry more children he decided Lyanna would do for a mother, endangering a girl of fourteen whom may have been on her first cycles.

He might have then seduced her, which most handsome man of the 7K, a prince and basically fancying her for what other suitors may find disgraceful? Tho, we'd have to assume Lyanna didn't care that he had other children, tho she cared that Robert had sired a bastard girl before marriage, which again doesn't make any sense. But let's say Lyanna was young and easily seduced by such a man.

He very clearly then actually abduct her and seclude her in a tower whilst pregnant, alone and away from her family, warring in her and her father's name.

It appears to me that the only good thing coming from that particular ship was Jon. And believe me, Jon is not going to take well his parentage, even if he ended up being trueborn, because he prides himself of being Eddard Stark's son tho lowborn, I don't think the same might be said for Rhaegar.

-1000/10 we respect no jerk in this household and Rhaegar left his wife and children behind unprotected (his daughter died screaming for her dad, under whose bed she had hid... the same dad who left her behind to groom a girl barely older than her), and secluded a fourteen year old girl whom he had gotten pregnant, alone in a tower in Dorne to fight a war he lost, all for the sake of a damn prophecy. The jerkometer hits the stars with him. He can choke for the way he treated both Elia and Lyanna and his children.

Good thing he sons have taken after their mothers and the men who raised them more than him.

NED AND CAT

10000/10 would recommend. And this is my shipper heart speaking.

Tbh though they are one of the most wholesome and truest, healthiest relationship in all of asoiaf, even with the matter of Jon's parentage to settle between them, they loved each other. They learned to love each other and build their family, a family they died to protect. Trusted and respected each other.

I mean Neddie boy turned from lethal, dangerous direwolf to tail-wagging puppy the moment he saw his wife in KL, and noticed she had been attacked by the way she held her hands, that's the degree of attentiveness we want in a man, okay?

Cat last thought was the fact that Ned loved her hair and that she didn't want it ruined even in death. Ned was her rock, to the point that even dead he was her support system.

Ned defended her by justifying her actions in taking Tyrion in custody as if commanded by him and Ned-I-know-better-than-that-oaf-of-my-best-friend-the-king, idealistic Ned Stark listened to his wife when she told him to trust LF. Dumb move, but still it gives you the degree at which they trusted and relied on each other.

With their fragilities and flaws they are one of my most beloved ships in asoiaf.

NED AND ASHARA DAYNE

We know next to nothing to this, saved that people gossiped about it, and about the fact that Ashara might have been Jon's mother. May it be that it happened, may it be that it didn't.

I think that even if it did it was heartbreaking, sad and bittersweet.

I am sure that if Martin were to give us more info, or write about it it'd be pretty real and cutting in its depiction/mirroring of the time and context of asoiaf.

So, on trust I give it 7.5/10.

JAIME AND CERSEI

For how it's written like this fated, hateful, passionate and destroying relationship I have to tap my hat to GRRM and give it a 8/10 on the manner of how much I like the way it was written...meh. I think it's pretty interesting and that it is the root of much of the problems Jaime and Cersei actually face.

In a scale of how much I enjoy it, tho, I'd give it a 4/10, BUT with the theme of rape not withstanding which would crush it down at -1000/10.

Sorry I am more for healthy, supporting relationships, as much as possible in every fiction and context. But if it's someone else's cup of tea, good for them.

JAIME AND BRIENNE

Reverse Beauty and the Beast story, in which the one who looks like a beauty is a beast and the one who looks beastly is a beauty. Pretty interesting to read, also because I think its root is that Jaime sees bits of the himself he sacrificed for his father and the people of KL in Brienne's vision of the world.

Still...read again the whole bath scene and consider it closely (I did a step-by-step with Tyrion and Sansa wedding night here) is it really worth being shipped?

In some contexts it doesn't bother me much...in canon I think it's going to be heartbreaking for Brienne.

3/10 I'm giving it a 3 merely because despite sexualizing her internally during the bath scene, Jaime doesn't actually act on that, and returns to save her because he has dreamt of her and because the sodding idiot is so foolish he has followed her in the Riverlands like she was his guide-light. And in other context could be pleasing to read about.

TYRION AND TYSHA

I have actually written a series of several metas about it, you can find the first installment here, the others will be linked at the end. Anyway, I honestly hope Tyrion never finds her.

Since departing KL his whole mantra has been searching for Tysha and at every stop they make, even in a brothel where he rapes a young girl who looks like Sansa, he asks after her and asks himself “where do whores go?” which is what Tywin told him.

I hope he never finds her, because Tysha was no whore, no matter what they did to her. They were the whores in the equation, so I dearly hope he never finds her, because Tysha was not a whore to begin with. Tho, I'd really enjoy her freezing him out once he returns to her with that arrogant brazenness he has, which will lead him to realize he is exactly like the father he hated so much.

100/10 Tysha living off her life peacefully and freezing Tyrion out if he ever finds her.

-1000/10 their ship. I hope Tyrion ends up realizing he never found Tysha because he searched the wrong places all along.

And that was it for asoiaf. Let's step in the next one, Merlin!

MERLIN

So, I am assuming we are speaking of Merlin the tv series and not the legend, because then it'd get very messy, albeit interesting.

MERLIN AND ARTHUR

Just kiss already.

1000/10 whatever way we wanna see it, romantically as a friendship or simply two people caring for each other, the chemistry was off charts for starters (like c'mon “do you walk on your knees?” “No” “Let me help you” and all the “I could take you apart with one blow” “I could take you apart with less than that”...I mean and all in the first minutes of the pilot?) and it was just that pure.

Arthur thinking Merlin was the bravest man he knew. Braver than his father (who he idolized for a long time) braver than himself and braver than all the knights he was surrounded by. Arthur thanking Merlin, noticing Merlin's moods and believing in him. Accepting him also for his magic in the end and Merlin being satisfied with only being his servant for his whole life, Merlin never telling him the truth not because he thought Arthur may kill him, but because he didn't want to put Arthur in the position he had to chose between their friendship and the kingdom he was governing and the beliefs he had...

... it's just so wholesome and heartbreaking. There's a video on youtube with the parallels of the entire series and there is one with Merlin getting his hair messed by Arthur and then him passing by his resting site in the modern day bowing his head like he did that one time... I'm not okay, alright?

[Forgive me as I go cry in a corner for the next thousand years]

ARTHUR AND MORGANA

That one was really well delivered.

If they ended up with a last desperate, passionate kiss I would've found it believable that was how good they have depicted that love/hate relationship and whilst there was some chemistry and hints at it in the earlier seasons, I think one thing the show runners got right was their siblings energy.

10/10 if they went that way it would've be believable and c'mon everyone loves star crossed lovers who became each other enemy because of differing views and ideals and ended up killing each other. Twisted love story, here I come.

ARTHUR AND GWEN

My two favs in the same ship, am I gonna ship it? Honestly? Hell yeah!

1000/10 would recommend. Funny, dorky and passionate and romantic all the same time. Also pure enough that to their knowledge Gwen did cheat on Arthur (tho she never could explain why and no one explained to them her head had been tampered with, despite her snapping out of it almost as soon as it happened) and he forgave her, took her back and she forgave herself and they were true to each other. Honestly, heartbroken on their end.

Albeit how believable it was the way they depicted and delivered I am forever simping over Arthur fucking Pendragon naming her his heir (thus making the dynasty a dynasty by which standards both male and females could inherit) because he had faith in the world she had to build. And sad over my fav Guinevere finally have the power to make the changes she always advocated for, but loosing everything she held dear (her friendship with Morgana, her first love and the love of her life as well as Merlin, because we all know how griefstricken he must've been) to gain it, and still persevering with the grace and strength she had all through it all. No wonder Arthur fell in love with her.

Also, I don't know if you mean Lancelot or Leon for Gwen and the knight. So I'll give my opinion on both:

Gwen and Lancelot, 8/10 sweet and supporting but marred by Lancelot deciding to move away instead than staying with her and Gwen not asking as the supporting woman she is.

Gwen and Leon, 9/10 I feel like they would be the kind of people that might end up together when the love of their life has passed away and find comfort in each other, and love, albeit different, still strong and supporting. I can see them grow old together with Arthur not in the picture anymore.

Then, onto Stranger Things we go, I must say something tho. I am not this great fan of ST so my opinion is only based of what little I've seen on tumblr and on the few episodes I've seen. So it's not going to be as elaborated as the one we've seen until now, because I know the show less and thus I'm going mostly by feel and not by analysis.

STRANGER THINGS

NANCY AND STEVE

Soft, sweet, dorky and funny. 10/10 would ship them by what little I've seen. Tho I don't see them having a very long term, as in endgame, relationship. Friendship and support, crush? Seriously, of course. But somehow I get the impression at some point they would grow a bit apart romantically, but I might be wrong. Still I'd watch it gladly. So gimme it.

NANCY AND JONATHAN

Feels like it makes sense, good chemistry might be the actors who are together, I think?, anyway it seeps into the characters so it makes it believable. Also Jonathan seems like the kind of gloomy kid who has a heart of gold and would break generational abuse patterns. So 8/10 but only because I feel like the funny, dorky side of it might be a bit missing.

ELEVEN AND MIKE

They seem cute, still don't convince me for some reason. Feels a bit wrong to me. Don't ask me why, I've not seen enough to tell you clearly, just...they feel off, like they don't belong together romantically. Though it may be one of those slow-burn ships that gets more and more believable as time passes.

6/10

ELEVEN AND WILL

Sorry, I don't know why but it bothers me a bit, I find it...wrong? I don't know, by what I've seen they're better off as friends and I don't see that much chemistry between characters, the actors are adorable when they're out of character, but inside the story from what little I've seen... friends I can see, lovers...not so much. Again might be my impression is wrong because I've not seen the whole thing so I don't know.

It doesn't feel right to me.

5/10

NANCY AND ROBIN

From what I've seen cute and funny and easygoing as well as soft. Totally would love to see it if they ever went in that direction. Even if it's not endgame it feels plausible for that to happen, wether it be a one-sided crush, only a crush never acted upon or a love story.

8/10

CRISSY AND EDDIE

Again, by what I've seen between the serie and tumblr... YES! Give me more, now!

10/10 would love to see more of it.

ROBIN AND STEVE

Always gave me the vibe of partners in crime. Funny to watch, don't think it has any romantic hues, but even only for their dynamic as friends I'd watch several episodes in a row. So I'd give it a 7/10.

JOYCE AND JIM

Tbh I don't really have a disposition either in a sense or another with this one. A couple of badass shots, but I don't really have enough to form a brutally honest opinion, so I guess... 6/10?

MIKE AND WILL

Now this one has potential. I feel like whether they'll play it one-sided, both sided but doomed, or endgame it feels plausible and credible.

It feels cuttingly real. So 100/10 on ground of it feeling plausible, credible and the kind of love that even when unrequited might be enough to send you off the rails.

I think I've gotten them all. Feel free to point out if I missed one, sorry again if the brutally honest opinions on Stranger things are neither that brutal, neither opinions truly, but I'm not really into it, I've watched it sparsely and thus know almost next to nothing about them.

Hope you enjoyed and thank you for the ask!

#ask the hag #anon asks #brutally honest opinion #asoiaf ships #merlin ships #stranger things ships

Okay, I’m super not done talking about this musical that doesn’t even fucking exist... I’m not a professional music theorist by any means, just a giant musical theater geek, but I need to talk about the idea I had for the score. Specifically the Balcony Scene.

Jemi and I had imagined The Fake Cyrano Musical as being scored by Schönberg and Boubli, and especially in their composition for Les Miserables, there are a ton of recurring motifs. I wanted to replicate some of that with leitmotifs for Roxanne and for Cyrano and Christian as a duo. We first hear Roxanne’s leitmotif at the theater--maybe she’s talking to de Guiche, but it’s important that we hear it sung by her first--and then it’s echoed by Cyrano during his conversation with Le Bret, and then again by Christian when he tells Cyrano how afraid he is to woo her. That’s when we first introduce Christian and Cyrano’s shared motif, which becomes the Letters Theme. I love the montage from the 1950 movie of Cyrano essentially acting as the Henry Higgins to Christian’s Eliza Doolittle, so we could probably make the Letters Theme into its own song as the two of them and Roxanne write back and forth to each other. Eventually the rest of Roxanne’s household hears about what’s happening, and it becomes basically a more energetic and intricate version of “Every Letter” from the 2021 movie as everybody reacts to each other.

And then it all comes together and then promptly derails in the balcony scene. When Roxanne first comes out and Cyrano tries to coach Christian through what to say, we hear the Letters Theme--a halting, more uncertain rendition of it since Christian is still trying to copy Cyrano’s way with words, but can’t quite manage with the dark and distance. Roxanne’s motif comes back in tinkling, teasing tones as she pokes holes in Christian’s fumbling, and eventually the music stops altogether. “This grows too difficult.” Cyrano and Christian switch places, and a new melody replaces the recurring motifs--also halting and uncertain at first, but growing in lushness and passion as Cyrano finds his courage and pours out his heart. Roxanne answers in turn, and the earlier awkwardness is replaced with perfect musical cohesion...

Until Christian asks for a kiss. And it all comes crashing back down to earth.

The music tries to start back up again as Cyrano tries to salvage the situation, but doesn’t quite manage for a few more measures. And it’s absolutely key that this same new love melody, now bubbling under the surface and trying to work back up to a boil, doesn’t stop when Cyrano and Christian are talking to each other. Once Christian scales the balcony and gives Roxanne her kiss, then the music crescendos, and we get a little “Heart Full of Love” moment--Christian and Roxanne together, Cyrano in distant counterpoint below the balcony. That transcendence of love has returned--so strong it blows past all the existing melodies we’ve already heard up to that point--and there’s a bittersweet note as Cyrano watches the ones he loves from afar. “My words upon his lips...”

(If I really wanted to twist the knife, I’d include a callback during the very last scene as well... we never hear the balcony’s song of love again except for one other time: when Cyrano reads his and Christian’s very last letter. We expect to hear the Letters Theme again, and so does Roxanne since her quiet counterpoint takes up that melody. But this last letter goes to the tune of the balcony’s song... and every other line, we hear Christian’s voice. It’s a musical representation that Cyrano and Roxanne still aren’t on the same page yet, but this time he can sing honestly to her face without the cover of dark, and Christian can sing through him as he always has. It’s the last time we hear Christian’s voice, too, as the rest of the finale plays with very spare instrumentation and the theatricality is stripped back a bit as Cyrano spends his last moments with Ragueneau, Le Bret, and Roxanne at his side. And since spoken dialogue could be a very easy indication of honesty in a mostly sung-through show, this could also be the last time any of the characters talk to each other rather than sing.)

@ride-a-dromedary

#God if only I could write music rather than just throw spaghetti at the wall like this... XD #For brevity's sake as well I'm saving the capuchin's arrival for *after* the song--the music would be stalling for long enough without him #making it go on even *longer* and the strings from Cyrano's pages can easily herald the beginning of a new song section.#the fake cyrano musical

HALSIN SILVERBOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, but this tiny "not technically canon but word of god so good enough" tidbit lit up all the synapses in my brain because I keep circling back to the fact that elves *name themselves* as adults. And because I am very invested in the fact that Halsin likely came from a primarily elvish speaking community, "Silverbough" is likely a Common translation of his surname.

If we translate Silverbough into D&D elvish using available lexicons, with the assumption that "silver" is referring to the colour (so we can use words like "ari" or "teu" rather than "don" which is more like the metal) and "branch" can be used as a synonym of "bough" (so we can use "kathan" or "shan/on" - the latter also meaning a direct branch of a clan), there are several possible combinations. My favourites are:

Arikathan

Arishan

Teushan(on)

Which is already neat enough to think about, but when considering further, there is a reason this was the name Halsin chose, just as there was a reason he chose Halsin. Elves can choose surnames based solely in things that are important/of value to them, or that resonate with them, or have some meaning (perhaps in this case something like "Silverbough" can bring to mind something that is both delicate and strong, like Halsin is/attempts to balance), or it could be passed down (often done with elven nobility). It can also stand all on its own.

But another reason that gets the HC wheels turning, is that if we add in adjoining words being common elven practice in names, this could also be a case of identification of where he came from (so a clan name or a village; this could be an honouring of his past community), which written or pronounced in full would read, for example, like:

Halsin vand Arikathan or Halsin vantur Teushan(on)

(Tel can also be used if you wish to say "belonging to")

So "Halsin from Silverbough"

Or, if you want to go even more heart-achy, Silverbough could be a matronym. Elves generally (not always, but generally) work matrilineally, in that their familial lineages draw from their mother and her family. So Halsin could have very well chosen the name Silverbough because it was his mother's name. Case in point, it would read more along the lines of:

Halsin va'e Iarishan or Halsin va'e Iteushan

Meaning, literally, Halsin son of Silverbough.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Jemi gets asks #my notebook at my desk is filled with word combos and scribbles - i put solid thought into this #but like i remembered that elves sometimes name themselves 'so and so child/son/daughter or so and so' and i was like HMM #because 'Silverbough' is pretty but not really what I would assume halsin would choose for himself UNLESS #those two key reasons - it was done on purpose to illustrate something strong but delicate - like halsin #or it's his mom's name #anyway catch me over here in the corner

As much as I wanted

hi. this year is the year of people my age getting married. 2024 to be exact.

Welcome to the wedding season and proposal season.

As much as I wanted to get married as young as possible, I stopped and reflected on this moment.

What is marriage?

Why do marriage is important?

When to get married?

What is the real standard of being ready for a marriage?

How much do we need to gather to really do the marriage life?

What does God say about marriage?

What to prepare?

What to do?

Should a wedding day be extravagant?

Can we throw a wedding dream of our own with the less budget possible?

Can it be memorable?

Is the wedding day important?

Stepping into such big decisions and a big step in our lives, can we really rely on just financial independence? or relying only on the security of our finances?

What is the most important thing that has more value than just money and your quality of life?

Indeed many marriages sink because lacking of preparation in money management and lacking of money. But the fundamental part of marriage shouldn't be money.

True that we can't rely just on love and feelings and a positive mindset of growth. But my thoughts are that marriage is a joint force, the earlier it is the better. Better in terms of growing together and building a life together. Growing together and building with Christ as the foundation. To the direction of becoming Christ-like.

Preparing our hearts and of course, money is the way we can do to prepare for a marriage.

What are the things that we need to prepare?

Difficult and easy conversations.

The game of waiting.

Did I wait till Jemi's ready both mentally and financially?

probably the only thing I can answer now is yes.

But, am I really that ready for a marriage?

I bet I cannot answer that. I would say I am ready mentally. But with the standard of the financial game, I am not ready yet.

But at the same time, I don't know what to do.

Sometimes I feel like I walked alone. But sometimes not. Sometimes i forget that God walks with me always, but sometimes I also remember.

I wonder, how to get more money?

But at the same time, how can I grow to be that mature to be ready for a marriage?

Too many times I told friends when it came to the question of "kapan nikah" with the answer of "terserah jemi, tunggu jemi"

AND I DID NOTHING BASICALLY.

the thing that I believe is that marriage is a joint force, I am not enough for a big force that is. WHAHAHA

Can my career grow significantly?

Can my business grow?

Can kilo kilo, loka, and other jobs grow and be the source of income to help us reach our goals?

frustrated and asking myself, how can I achieve more?

What to do as a single Christian preparing things before entering the marriage?

Can the foundation be only mental and financial? or shouldn't it be the Cross?

How can we have Jesus as the center and the foundation of our marriage?

As much as I wanted to get married and build a family with Jemi, most of the time, I forgot to tell God about this.

London revival jazz Growltiger is such a cop-out. Like instead of fixing the actual issues in this song let's just distract you with this rearrangement of the number and uglier, dull costumes. That works, right? Couldn't have been that we just, I don't know, cut out the 12 minute pirate song into something much shorter and not racist, or fix the lines everyone has an issue with. A new style of MUSIC is what it needed!

Duh, anon. Obviously the problem with "Growltiger's Last Stand" was its musical arrangement (though at least they changed the background music composition for the Siamese...that was a problem) and its costume colour palette and set pieces. Oh, and not the costumes for the Siamese at first - those are fine those can stay. We'll change those later.

What was that?

Racism?

How can there be racism? There are no colours, we desaturated everything.

/sarcasm

(Granted, they changed the lyrics slightly to at least eliminate the outright slur - but like...that’s not new, they already did that - that does not at all remove any of the context, lmao)

#jellicles ask because jellicles dare #anonymous #racism tw #and you know you think hey jemi at least they changed the design of the siamese cats and yes they did #later on after they'd already remade them #but like something about that design still is very sus to me - like it's very...hmm #notably 'othered' let's say #though the one thing i do like about the growltiger update is playing in una tepida notte completely straight - the ham thing gets old #like yes i would like to see a mini opera #and maybe i'm the only one but if they're going to ham it ham it *properly*#opera itself is inherently ham #you don't need to be mean about it

15, 18, 6 for the ao3 wrapped, my dear <3<3<3

thanks aurora <3

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

aside from all of them? i would say the closest i am to finishing is trapped with jay and tim aka my whumptober fic i haven’t finished two years in a row i started before that lmao. the prompt was initially field care 101 then impaled. title is gonna be from the jaguar jonze song kill me with your love if that gives you an idea 💕

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

JEMIS GREENWING AND PERRY DART NO DOUBT. also roald. victoria goddard characters, especially those from a fantasy world that’s their equivalent of historical england, is VERY unlike what i usually write. probably murderbot and ART also come into play there, with another fic im working on… it’ll take some time to finish these wips lol

6. Favorite title you used

hrrrgh toss up between put your money on me and if you fall in i’ll jump down tbh. the kimya dawson song has haunted me for YEARS and the imagery of it works so well for cass, but put your money on me? the fact it’s a story about steph, and she has to work so hard for what she gets and to fight for recognition…. probably that wins in the end

send me an ask for my ao3 wrapped!

#asks #sassydefendorflower #tag game #i liked these questions thank u #i always love the opportunity to talk about my writing lol

Struggles | R.L

Warnings : Reader is dyslexic , reader is a Muggle-born , hopelessness , crying , it's fluff mostly , anything else ?

Summary : Y/n is suffering from dyslexia since her childhood , but Remus is there to help her and lift her up whenever she gives up

Pairing : Remus Lupin x reader , Remus x reader x James x Sirius x Peter (mention only) , Lily Evans x reader (short mention)

Words : 1.5K+ (1,534)

English is not my first language

This fic is for entertainment purposes only .

"I'm done with the awkward" Y/n spoke , smiling at the two sheets of papers that her hands held .

"Baby , it's called homework" Remus corrected her , while slipping down the couch of the common room to join his girlfriend on the floor.

"Ah , homework !" Y/n chirped , excited to know the amount of mistakes she would've managed to lessen this time .

"Here" Remus spoke in a slight hoarse voice , while turning his other hand to take the papers from yn .

"I'll check it , okay?" Remus questioned .

"Sure , Jemy" She spoke , mistaking Remus' pet name with the closest rhyme .

"it's Remy , baby" Remus corrected her again .

Y/n and Remus were friends since childhood , even though y/n was a muggle . While y/n helped Remus through his tough days , she didn't run away knowing her neighbour was a werewolf which Remus appreciated and loved , Remus helped her with her muggle problem called dyslexia . Dyslexia affects the way that the brain processes written materials, making it more difficult to recognise , spell, and decode words . The problem caused y/n to struggle with reading , especially loud . It also caused her to skip a few words while writing , misspelling the words with their closest rhymes and making her thoughts churn in her brain . Y/n preferred short sentences to save her trouble . She knew practice would definitely help her cure and so , Remus began helping her , without her asking him to . Remus was all in tears when he had to leave for Hogwarts , only to realise that y/n too , was a Muggle-born witch . They continued their beautiful ,pure friendship which slowly caused them to developed feelings for each other while staying through their thick and thin's . Now , here they were .

"Sorry Remy" y/n pressed her lips together and cutely gave a shrug to her shoulders , causing Remus to laugh and then continue with his spell and grammar check .

Y/n turned her head to admire the common room's blazing fire , when the sudden thoughts made her hand fly to her head .

She kept her fingers in contact with the part for sometime until Remus spoke up with a slight disappointment "It's good y/n . The mistakes are quite short ."

Y/n, though heard the sentence and smiled , didn't miss the disappointed voice .

"How many ?" Y/n questioned shortly .

"Only 106" Remus smiled sadly .

Last time , y/n had a small celebration with the Marauder's because her mistakes had dropped down to below 100 . She had worked hard for it and the achievement was a day of sheer happiness for her . She and Remus had also spent a lot of time together , happy . At the moment , Y/N's eyes immediately caught up with the tears as she could do nothing but get sad over her spoilt hardwork . The word 'Only' had no effect on y/n's broken heart , who dashed out of the common room , frustrated with her life and her problem . Remus immediately got up , kept the papers safely and decided to follow her , but she was vanished . He decided to safely tuck the papers in y/n's bag and then go on the quest to find her .

Y/n ran and ran , passing the students in the passageway , roughly pushing through them until she found an empty classroom to cry peacefully . She entered in and the door closed behind her back . Y/n threw her body on a dirty seat , tired of her life . All the bullying , the low self-esteem , the lost confidence , the struggles and the people laughing at her throughout her life . All of that came back to her and hit her like a train . Her life was just hopeless . Ofcourse , she did get hurt in being bullied . She wished she were as confident as the other girls who kept talking and talking , charming people with their words . She wished she got an O in the examinations , which she couldn't just because she missed the words , mispelled them and couldn't manage to memorize properly. She wished the people never laughed at her . She felt unfair , it wasn't her mistake for the problem she had got . And then she met Remus , who told her , motivated her and helped her to work hard and achieve what she wished for. He made the hopelessness in y/n vanish away , but another fear of not proving her worth to herself settled in . She considered Remus as one of the most helpful and kind men , and that man , was dating her . A dyslexic . She wanted to prove the pessimistic side of hers that she'll work hard and prove that she deserves him . But she failed . All this time , she was improving , the sudden backfire made her go slightly hopeless and complete doubtful of herself and her ability to get over with her problems . Her body rocked back and forth as her arms hugged her knees and her face was buried within the gap .

The door swung open after sometime , to reveal Remus . He had the map they all were working on . Ofcourse, it was easy for him to find her . She couldn't run away from him. Remus walked in the classroom , making his way towards y/n .

"Y/n/n . Darling why did you run away ?" Remus whispered softly as his body reached out for hers .

"I'm so ton" y/n mispelled done with ton .

Remus understood that and decided not to correct her right now . He decided to comfort her because he knew , she gave up easily , as she did in childhood .

"Baby , you know , you're as smart as any other person in this world . Really . Dyslexia is not a measure of your intelligence my dear . " Remus reasoned .

"I know merus , but I'm really over this" She spelled Remus , a word she used rarely .

"Y/n , look in my eyes . Look at me" Remus held her face in his scared hands , his eyes glistening with tears .

Y/n's sad eyes did what they were told to and Remus spoke "You're really one of us , y/n . You're just as normal as every other person . Just , you've got something unique to yourself , dyslexia . Everyone's watching you work hard ,baby . Everyone , and they wish you to get a fruitful result . I trust you . I know how hard you work . I know you've got this" Remus ended , but he knew there were still some doubts in y/n's mind .

"Tell me y/n. What if I give up ?" Remus questioned y/n straightforward .

Y/n immediately looked up with a good amount of shock an horror in her eyes , her head frantically moving as a 'no' .

"No" she spoke .

"No , tell me , what if I give up like you're doing y/n .. how will you feel ? What will be your thoughts? Won't they be that you know I'll make it ? Correct ?"

Y/n nodded as a 'yes' and then , she hugged her boyfriend . They both ended up cuddling in the common room later , Remus thinking about different ways to reassure y/n .

The next day , y/n woke up in her bed , a slight memory of Remus tucking her lingered in her mind . She slowly got up with a smile , but that smile dropped as soon as she remembered the homework mistakes . Getting Ready for the classes , she dragged herself down . Suprisingly , Remus wasn't there for her. Maybe , he was already in the class because she was late . She quickly stuffed two breads from the great hall and ran to the Potions classroom . Entering the class , she was glad that it hadn't began yet . Slowly making her way towards her boyfriend , she sat with him , giving him a short smile which he returned .

Soon , it was time for y/n to answer a question which professor had questioned .

As expected , her hands went cold and she turned pale , but she took a deep breath and was about to speak when Remus whispered "Come on y/n , you can do it !" .

James gave her a thumps up from beside , along with Sirius and Peter . Lily Evans and others smiled at her too , which was odd . They all never bothered her much . The class , infact , was looking at her with hopeful eyes . All of them were wearing encouraging smiles . Suddenly , it gave her a boost and she began with the answer , mistaking a bit and stopping again .

"Come on , y/l/n , you are doing great !!" Someone cheered on her and then , the whole class began .

"C'mon girl !"

"you've got this , y/n !"

"We know you can do it !"

"Go on !!"

All of this lifted her soul so much . The class was supporting her . They all wanted her to improve and she wouldn't let them down . She looked at Remus with loving smile , knowing he had done it and she began answering again .

Let's say she never stopped nor did the class . Thanks to Remus who understood her need to be encouraged by more people.

"I'm glad to have you in my life Remus . I love you." y/n whispered softly as Remus cuddled further into her , the light of the Waning Gibbous Moon shone on the two souls , madly , deeply and completely in love with each other .

Jeremy Meets Lolbit

Jeremy gets to meet an animatronic that's rather large compared to Helpy! And...he doesn't mind that!

Jeremy was sleeping with Helpy when a knock on the door could be heard. Helpy opened his big eyes and turned to helpy.

“Knock knock.”

Jeremy smiled.

“Who’s there?”

“Someone at door.” Helpy pointed to the door.

Jeremy looked up and looked down the hall from his bedroom. Another knock could be heard.

“Oh…”

He got up and took a moment to put a shirt on. Once he was better dressed, Jeremy walked to the door and opened it. “Hello, what brings you he-”

He looked up at the super tall being. “Uuuuh...S-Sir?”

He immediately noticed that the ‘sir’ had a diamond-shaped head. Um...No person ever has a diamond shaped head. Or, at least to the pointiness that this head was at. “C-Can I...H-help yo-you?” He asked, growing fearful of what it might’ve been.

The thing came out of the shadows, and stared Jeremy down right in his face.

THAT’S NOT A PERSON! THAT’S AN ANIMATRONIC!

Jeremy shrieked in horror and backed up with fear in his eyes. “Uuuuhhh...NOPE!” Jeremy tried to slam the door shut on the animatronic, but the animatronic placed its foot in the door. By the time Jeremy noticed this, the door had slammed down on the foot, denting the door. Yes, the door. The door was no match for the animatronic’s foot.

“Oh no! OH NO!” Jeremy yelled. “G-GET OUT!” He ordered. “OUT OF THIS HOUSE!” Jeremy ordered.

Suddenly, Helpy came wobbling over. “Jemy scared?” Helpy asked.

Jeremy picked Helpy up and backed up more. “There’s an animatronic at my door, and I am NOT happy with it!”

Right on cue, The animatronic stepped into the door and grabbed it. It stared dead into Jeremy’s eyes as it tilted its head.

“LOLBIT!” Helpy shouted suddenly.

...Lolbit?!

“Wait...You KNOW this guy?” Jeremy asked.

Helpy started wriggling out of Jeremy’s grip as he tried to greet the animatronic. Jeremy finally let him go and watched as the little animatronic ran to where Lolbit was and hugged its leg. “Lolbit!”

Lolbit?! HIS NAME IS LOLBIT?!

“Wait…” Jeremy walked up to the animatronic and looked closer at it. It...Looked like Foxy, but...different colors.

“Can...Can you talk?” Jeremy asked.

“HI THERE!” The fox spoke.

Jeremy jumped. “AAH!” He yelled. “Why?”

Lolbit laughed. “Gotcha!”

Jeremy sighed and walked away from the door. “You got me…”

“Lolbit! Up up up!” Helpy begged.

Lolbit bent down, picked up Helpy, and walked into the apartment. “Ooooh!” Lolbit reacted to the apartment.

“It’s not much to look at, but...Make yourself comfortable, I guess…” He decided.

Lolbit threw Helpy up in the air and caught him. “WEEEE!” Helpy cheered.

“Up we go!” Lolbit cheered.

“WEEEEEHEHEHEEE!” Helpy cheered.

Jeremy sighed and watched the robot play with his, HIS helpy. “Having fun with my little buddy?” Jeremy asked.

“Up we go!” Lolbit cheered, throwing him up.

“AGAIN!” Helpy begged.

“Alrighty!” Lolbit threw Helpy one last time.

“WEEEEEE!” Helpy cheered. “JEREMY YOU NEED TO TRY THIS!” Helpy yelled to him.

“Naaah...I like to stay on the ground.” Jeremy told him back.

“Awww...Please?” Helpy asked.

“No. Not happening.” Jeremy told him.

Suddenly, the animatronic walked up to Jeremy and held out a hand.

Jeremy, not sure what else to do, grabbed the hand.

“WHOA-” Jeremy was pulled into his arms and tickled mercilessly.

“OHOHOHO NOHOHOHOHOHO!” Jeremy laughed.

“Tickle time! Tickle time! Tickle time!” Lolbit kept repeating as she tickled his sides and stomach with her nails.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IHIHIHIT’S SOHOHOHO BAHAHAHAHAD!” Jeremy laughed.

Helpy gasped as he watched this all go down. “Go for the neck!” Helpy gave him little suggestions of where to go for.

“NOHOHOHOHOHO!” Jeremy ordered.

“It’s tickle time!” Lolbit said in her caring, kind voice.

Jeremy squeaked as a pair of nails started to tickle his neck. Jeremy giggled and snorted as he tried to cover up the ticklish spot. “Nohohohoho, ihihihit tihihicklehehehes!” Jeremy told Lolbit.

“Coochy coochy coo!” Lolbit teased as she tickled his neck.

“NOhohoho teheheasihihing!” Jeremy ordered.

“Oh my! Such a ticklish boy.” She teased further. “How about your ribs? Are they ticklish too?” She asked, before tickling his ribs.

Jeremy wheezed and laughed a little harder as his ribs were played with. “HAhahahahaHAHAHAHA! Cuhuhuhut ihihihit ohohohout!” He begged.

“That word is not in my database.” she told him.

Oh no...She has a certain data base of words she knows! Which words are the ones she knows?!

“Cohohohome ohohohon!” Jeremy whined.

“That word is not in my database.” She told him.

God, he’s gonna hear too much of that sentence, isn’t he?

Next, Lolbit moved her fingers to his armpits. This seemed to be a SUPER good spot! Because the moment she tickled his armpits, he went ballistic!

“BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” He laughed loudly.

“Coochy coochy coo, birthday boy~” She teased.

“IHIHIHIT’S NOHOHOHOT MYHYHYHYHY BIHIHIHIRTHDAHAHAHAY!” Jeremy shouted to him.

“I can understand what you said. Let me autocorrect a response.” She took a moment before responding with the words “It’s someone’s birthday.”

Well DUH! Everybody knows that! “IHIHIHI KNOHOHOHOW THAHAHAHAT!” Jeremy yelled back.

“Tickle tickle tickle!” She teased yet again.

Goodness, this animatronic must’ve been built to tickle! Either that, or the animatronic is being controlled.

Suddenly, the animatronic stopped tickling. “New data collected for database.” She said.

Out of nowhere, a slightly staticky recording of Jeremy’s laughter was played back.

{HAHAHAHAHA! AAAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA THIHIHIHIS- NOHOHOHOHOHO!} it played.

“Placing new data in ‘laughter’ folder.” She said as she programmed her body to store the recording.

Jeremy was a mess of giggles and blushes. He was so embarrassed…

“Wh...Why?” He asked.

“Playing all recordings in ‘laughter’ folder.” she said.

“Recording made on July 2nd, 2048.”

Suddenly, Jeremy’s laughter started to play once again.

{HAHAHAHAHA! AAAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA THIHIHIHIS- NOHOHOHOHOHO!}

That made Jeremy pretty much die of embarrassment.

But then:

“Recording made on February 27, 2026.”

{HEHEhehehEHEHEHEY! Thahahahat tihihihicklehehes! Gehehet ohohout ohohof hehehehere! HAHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAHAT THEHEHERE! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! MERCY! PLEHEH-}

Jeremy listened to the audio recording. It...sounded a little like William Afton’s voice! Only...higher-pitched and nicer-sounding. And...younger.

“Recording made on March 11, 1999.”

{Hehehehehe, Dohohon’t yohohou dahahahare stahahart thahahat- Just because I programmed you to tickle, doesn’t mean you- AAAHAHAHAHA! DOHOHOHON’T! Ohohokay, you got me that time.}

Now THAT was definitely William. It sounded exactly like William! But...one thing didn’t make sense. Didn’t Henry make the animatronics? If so, then why was William claiming responsibility for this animatronic?

“Recording made on September 25, 1990.”

{HAHAHAHAhahahahahaha! Yehehehehes! Ihihihit wohohohorks! Hahahahahaha! Ihihihit’s sohohoho tihihicklihish! Thihihis ihihis greheheheat! HAhahahahaha! Ohoho thehehe rehecordi-}

That was also William! I guess that was when the animatronic was originally made? Jeremy could only tell what was going on based off the recording.

So it turns out he wasn’t the only one! That’s a relief, at least!

Jeremy smiled and placed his hand onto Lolbit’s belly. “Now tell me: Are you ticklish too by any chance?” Jeremy asked.

Lolbit tilted her head and looked down at her belly. Jeremy started skittering on her belly, to see if he could get a reaction of some sort. But no such reaction occurred! Jeremy quickly proposed from this test that Lolbit isn’t ticklish.

“Oh...Well...Alright.” Jeremy replied. “I guess you’re not ticklish.” He replied.

Lolbit wiggled her ears and looked over at Jeremy’s belly.

Jeremy tilted his head and chuckled. “What are you planning…”

It immediately became apparent the moment Lolbit’s hands started skittering on his belly.

“Ohohohoho yohohohou’re bahahack to ticklihihing, I sehehehee!” Jeremy giggled.

“Coochy coochy coo!” She teased, tickling his belly button.

Jeremy suddenly EXPLODED with laughter! “OHOHOHO GAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAT THEHEHEHERE! NAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHERE!” Jeremy begged.

“Tickle tickle tickle!” Lolbit teased. “I sense a ticklish boy right here!”

“YOHOHOU DOHOHON’T SEHEHENSE SHIHIHIHIT!” Jeremy shouted.

“I can understand what you said. Let me autocorrect a response.” Lolbit took a moment to think. “You do not need to swear at me.” She said.

Jeremy whined and covered his eyes as his belly button was continuously poked and pushed.

“IHIHIHIT’S SOHOHOHOHO MEHEHEHEHEAN!” Jeremy told him.

“That word is not in my database.” She repeated from earlier.

OH NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!

Helpy ran up to Lolbit and shook her leg. “Up up up!” Helpy begged.

“HEHEHELPY IHIHIHIS TIHIHICKLIHIHISH!” Jeremy told her.

Lolbit looked down at Helpy and picked him up.

“Hello Helpy.” She greeted.

“Hi Lolly!” Helpy replied.

“Tickle time!” Lolbit started tickling Helpy’s big belly.

“HEHE! HEHELPY TICKLIHIHISH!” He laughed.

“Coochy Coochy coo!” She teased.

“STAHAHAP!” Helpy yelled.

“Stopping.” She replied, stopping her fingers and removing them from his belly.

So THAT was one of her database words! Wow!

Jeremy walked up and opened his arms. “Hug?” He asked.

Lolbit looked at Jeremy...and walked up with her arms out. “‘Hugging’ action acquired.”

Jeremy smiled and hugged the animatronic back. He didn’t mind that Lolbit was here. He was growing to love her being here, actually! So, Jeremy invited Lolbit inside for a while longer before letting her leave. When Lolbit started leaving, Lolbit turned around and opened her arms to him. Jeremy, understanding what she wanted immediately, walked up and hugged her one last time.

What a nice little surprise!
