Song: Angels Fall - Breaking Benjamin

Posted on AO3 in 07/2020 (3 years ago, wow!). Revised now to post here.

When angels fall with broken wings I can't give up, I can't give in When all is lost and daylight ends I'll carry you and we will live forever

If someone asked you, you would say with the utmost certainty that Simeon was flirting. After all, most of the Devildom demons and some guys you’ve met in the Human Realm used to be so helpful and kind when they wanted something in return. But he was an angel, and angels were helpful and kind by nature — or that’s what you kept repeating in your head, in a way to convince yourself that you couldn't get carried away.

This went on for weeks.

From the start, Simeon was nice and amiable, not just with you. He was patient with everyone, always helping those in need, no matter if they were demons, humans, or angels. He was always there. However, despite knowing you were wrong, as the days went by you couldn’t stop your heart from beating faster every time he did something for you. Whether to help with a lesson, watch a movie, chat or go out to try a new treat at your favorite candy store, Simeon always invited you or accepted your invitations. You always thought it was his angel nature and tried your best to bury your feelings for him, but you didn't know the half of it.

Simeon knew it was a forbidden path, he always did. But how could he not feel attracted to you? He tried to convince himself so many times that everything he did was in the name of his angelic and benevolent nature, but it had reached a level where no one else could believe in such a lie. He attempted to hide his feelings, keep them to himself, and perhaps seek forgiveness for falling in love with a human, but it became increasingly difficult. Your smiles brightened his days, your scent soothed him, your voice captivated him, and your touches grew more and more precious, whether it was a simple brush of your fingers on his arm or a hug to thank him for something.

And then, months after torturing yourself, you decided that you should say something. You knew it would come to nothing, but your feelings were suffocating you and you couldn’t keep it to yourself anymore — after all it was starting to be obvious that something was happening; even the brothers were suspicious of how many times you went to Purgatory Hall. Forcing the best smile you could, already expecting the worst, you went to your destination, where you knew you'd find the angel.

“MC, it’s nice to see you.” He smiled wide when he opened the door and saw you.

“Hi, Simeon. I… wanted to talk to you…”

The angel made room for you to enter the house before closing the door. You seemed different, he could sense it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Your aura felt heavy and... sad. For a moment, he was sad too, but pulled himself together so he could help you with whatever you needed. Guiding you to his room, he invited you to come in and make yourself comfortable, as always. You went straight to an armchair in the corner and sat, the angel followed you and sat on the bed, in front of you.

“What do you need?”, he asked with a kind smile.

“I have a problem. I’m liking… someone. But I know we can’t be together.”

“Oh!” The angel felt a tightness in his chest, but he needed to ignore it in order to help you. “And… is it one of the brothers?”

“No…” You looked away, blushing. Simeon noticed that you didn't want to say who was it, so he chose not to insist. “But I know it has no future, that it can’t happen. I’m a human and he… well, he isn’t.”

“I see…” He put his hand on his chin, thoughtfully. His mind has already crossed out Solomon from the list of possible suitors.

“I know that there are a lot of obstacles for that, that it doesn't have the slightest chance of happening, but even so I can't dislike him. And I know he probably doesn’t feel the same way and that I’m deluding myself, but… I don’t know what to do anymore. I tried to forget, to ignore and to get over it, but nothing works. It feels that I like him more every day.”

“And have you tried talking to him?”

“Not yet, at least not directly...”

“So that’s the start. You’re a lovely person, little lamb, your feelings will probably be reciprocated.”

“I… was thinking about talking to him, but now… my courage seems to be fading away.”

“Don’t worry and don’t think too much. Just say what you’re feeling in your heart, be honest with yourself, and I know you’re gonna be okay, no matter what happens. You can always come to talk to me later. I’ll be here to support you.”

“But what if… it’s you?” The end of the sentence came out so low that the angel almost failed to hear, and yet he doubted that he had heard correctly.

“What if it’s…” His eyes went wide while he was feeling his heart flutter inside him.

“You.” This time, your voice came out a little louder. Taking a deep breath, you looked him in the eye. “What if the someone I like is you? I know it’s forbidden, I know it’s impossible, I know it's unrequited, but I… I can’t help but like you.”

Your eyes started to water, and you stared at the floor, trying to stop yourself from crying. You noticed the angel getting up and walking towards you, probably ready to ask you to forget all this and make you realize how impossible it was. You felt so pathetic, suffering for a love that has always been doomed to fail.

However, what came next was not rejection, nor a sermon on how you were deluded, much less a detachment. Simeon bent down in front of you, placing one hand on each arm of the chair, and kissed you. Well, it was more like a light brush of lips, but enough to make you dizzy.

“S-Simeon…”

“Now you know too. It’s not unrequited.”

“But… I thought… You don’t… How…”

“I don’t know what can happen, honestly.” The angel stroked your cheek, looking at you tenderly. “It’s the first time that an angel falls in love with a human… Well, there was Lilith, but she did more than just fall in love.”

“You mean… Simeon, can you be condemned to non-existence?”

“I don’t think such a severe punishment will be applied.” He laughed softly, partly due to the thoughts running through your mind and partly because he was happy to know that you liked him and cared so much about him.

“But then…” Your words were cut off by his thumb resting on your lips then caressing it, in a request for silence.

“I don’t care what my punishment will be. Knowing that what I feel for you is mutual makes me so happy that I don't even know if I can think of the consequences of it now.”

“You… like me!” Now it was your eyes that went wide with his statement.

“Yes, MC. I’m a little surprised you didn’t know, sometimes I thought I was being pretty obvious, with everything I was doing for you.”

“Ah, well… I thought it was common for you to be so helpful to everyone because, you know, you're an angel.”

“No, it was only for you, my little lamb.”

Simeon stood up and held out his hand in your direction, and you eagerly took it.Now standing on your feet, you felt how your body was shaking with the whole situation, but in a very good way. The angel placed one hand on your neck and the other on your waist, pulling you close. He approached slowly, watching you intently and joined your lips again. This time Simeon ran his tongue over your lips asking to deepen the kiss and you allowed. You heard a rustle and, startled, moved away to look. You realized that he was in his angelic form, with his imposing wings around you in a protective way. With a wide smile from ear to ear, you kissed him with love again, and again, and again.

With each kiss, you felt like you needed more. With each touch of him, which slid from your waist to your back and then back to your waist, you wanted more. With each sigh of yours, he felt it was not enough. And with each step he took back, you were closer to the bed, until the back of his knees hit the mattress and he fell sitting, with you still glued to him. You settled on the angel's lap, with one leg on either side of his hips, still kissing him fervently. Your hands, which rested on his shoulders, slid to his nape, gently moving down his back to the base of his wings, where you caressed and started to move your hand through the feathers — making him sigh. His hands, seeming to have a life of their own, soon found their way from your waist to your thighs, leaving a hot trail where they passed.

“Simeon…”, you called him. He actually didn't know if it was a request or a call. And what kind of request it would be, if that was the case. He just hummed and kissed you passionately again. It took a lot of your willpower to move away and call him again, your worries starting to hammer in your head again. “Simeon, we need to talk first.”

“I’m sorry.” He ran his hands through his hair and sighed loudly, closing his eyes. “I was excited and got carried away… Please, forgive me.”

“No! I mean, that’s not it. I’m still worried about what might happen, because it’ll be partly my fault and…”

“MC, it doesn’t matter what happens, it won’t be your fault. It’ll never be. Don’t worry about what may or may not happen.”

“Okay. But maybe we should do something else? You know, before we…” Your face was red and you cleared your throat, trying to make the angel understand. “You know… Make it worse.”

“As you wish.” He smiled and gave you one last peck on the cheek, helping you to get up.

You two decided to do the usual: watch something, while eating some snacks. Neither of you noticed when a feather from the angel's wing came loose and fell to the floor, going under his bed.

Four days have passed. Nobody knew, yet, that you were in some kind of relationship because it was too recent and neither the brothers or Luke would have a nice reaction. You both were still meeting each other as often as possible, like always, but now there was something more. Your meetings often involved kisses and cuddles in his bed.

It was a common afternoon in the Devildom, and you two were coming back from RAD to Purgatory Hall along with Solomon and Luke. Everything seemed normal until you stepped inside the house and the younger angel let out a high-pitched, desperate cry. Turning around, you were ready to assume a fighting position — not that you knew much about it or that it could be useful — and help your friend. However, when your eyes met Luke’s, you realized that he was looking at you with such horror. More specifically, for something near your feet. Following his line of sight, you lowered your head, feeling your whole world spin when you saw what he had seen. There, on the floor, between you and Simeon, was a feather — or what appeared to be one, since it looked burnt.

Lifting your head quickly, your eyes found the angel staring down, biting his lip in nervousness.

“Did it fall from your wings?” Solomon broke the silence.

“Probably.”

“S-Simeon! But-”

“What have you done?” Luke interrupted you. His expression was a mix of horror and disappointment, which made you feel bad for the older angel.

“Nothing! I mean… not that much.” Simeon looked at you, like he was waiting for your consent to tell what you two have been up to lately. “We’ve been dating.”

“WHAT?”, the other two shouted.

“N-not in the way you’re thinking!” You hurried to shake your hands nervously.

“We’re together, but we did nothing”, he stated. “A while ago, I noticed I felt something different about MC and then I realized I like her. Then a few days ago, I discovered that she felt the same way and we’ve been together ever since.”

“Simeon, it’s forbidden!”

“Does that mean you’re falling?”, Solomon asked. “Just because you fell in love with someone?”

Yes. Well, it’s not just that. Relationships between angels and any other being are forbidden. Plus, I let myself be carried away by my feelings. I accepted and surrendered to it, without fear of the consequences, out of pure selfishness. Not only did I not regret this, I insisted on this relationship for the past few days.

“Yes. Well, it’s not just it. Relationships between angels and any other being is forbidden. Plus, I let myself be carried away by my feelings. I accepted and surrendered to it, without fear of the consequences, out of pure selfishness. Not only I didn’t regret this, I insisted on this relationship for the past few days.”

“Simeon, you can’t! This… It’s…” The little angel now looked more afraid than angry. His blue eyes shifted the focus between you and the angel next to you, as if hoping that you could say something to help.

“Luke, it’s okay.”

“No, it’s not! Simeon, you have to repent, ask for forgiveness. You…”

“You can’t fall!”, you completed when the angel seemed unable to formulate the rest of the sentence. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t… Now you’re like this…” Your tears could no longer be contained. You felt yourself being embraced by the angel, and his hands caressed your hair, while his wings enveloped you in an attempt to calm you down.

“I told you not to blame yourself, MC.” Turning his head towards the other angel, Simeon continued: “Forgive me, Luke, but I can't do what you're asking. I’m aware of what's going on, but I won’t repent. I will never regret falling in love with MC and having the best days I can remember.”

A few seconds of silence followed and you continued with your head buried in the angel's chest, until you heard footsteps leaving, probably from Luke going to his own room. Simeon took a long breath and looked back at you, holding your chin up so he could look you in the eye. He opened his mouth to speak, but before any sound came out, he was interrupted by Solomon:

“Your feathers are falling and turning black.”

In a snap, you looked to the side, seeing one of the wings in the exact state that the sorcerer had described. The feathers were turning as black as those on Lucifer's wings; some places looked featherless, but a small tip indicated that they were being reborn in the new color. Startled, you looked down, seeing that the falling white feathers looked burnt, as if they had caught on fire between the fall of the wing and the landing.

“Simeon, your wings...”

“I suggest you go to your room to talk.”

Nodding to the sorcerer, Simeon held your hand and guided you to his bedroom, locking the door when both of you were inside. You two sat on the bed, facing each other.

Your eyes watched intently all the details that were changing in the now ex-angel. Maybe it was because he admitted so vehemently that he would never regret it, but he was falling a lot faster than you thought. His wings were already completely black, horns protruded almost completely from his head and a mark became more and more evident on his shoulder, very similar to the ones that the brothers had on their bodies. Simeon was feeling every little change. The mark on his shoulder felt like it was being burned with a hot iron, but he didn't care.

You cupped his face, stroking his cheek with your thumb. A part of you still blamed yourself; after all, if you hadn't said anything, none of this would be happening. However, another part — much bigger, by the way — was happy. You couldn't forget the expression of joy and love that had filled Simeon's face when he said that those were his best days. Plus, he seemed calm with what was happening, and his eyes still looked at you with such affection that you thought you could melt right there.

“I hope you’re not regretting us”, he said, and you grimaced. You were ready to answer him, but he smiled and continued to speak before you could say a thing. “I’m kidding. I know you’re not.”

“Good.”

“You should know that I don’t either.” He took your hand and brought it to his mouth, placing a kiss. “I meant every word. I don’t regret being with you and I never will.”

“Me neither.” You smiled the best you could and got closer. Placing a light kiss on your lover's lips, you whispered, “I think I don’t just like you, but I love you.”

“I’m sure I do love you,” he whispered back, also smiling.

Placing one hand on your nape and the other on your waist, Simeon pulled you to another kiss, this time with much more intensity and passion.

After all, he had nothing more to lose. And he wanted to make the most of your company.

MC wasn’t even thinking about what could happen to her. She has pacts with demons and now she’s with an angel. This MC will definitely go to Devildom after she dies, HASIUEHASUIEHAS.

This chapter was sfw, but the next won’t be. Yes, MC and Simeon will 'finish their business.' We have a saying where I live that goes: if you’re in hell, hug the devil. It was translated quite literally, and I don't know if there's another way of saying it, but you got me.

Masterlists

top 5 headcanons? Your own or just faves!

GREAT question so these are just the ones off the top of my head:

1. This headcanon for Mando teaching the kid sign language, and the kid communicating back

2. Not something I came up with, but I like the idea of Luke having permanent Force-lightning scars as a result of Palpatine using it on him in RotJ

3. Personal headcanon: I think Han Solo would have taken Leia’s last name when they got married: Han (at least in the movies) had no family ties to the name ‘Solo,’ it was the name the Imperial officer gave him when he enlisted in the military to escape Corellia. It’s the perfect description for a smuggler on his own who only thinks of himself and his ship (though eventually Chewie becomes a part of The Only Things Han Solo Cares About).

The most important thing about Han Solo’s character that I think many audiences and even official creators (INCLUDING GEORGE LUCAS SOMEHOW) seem to forget is that Han’s whole character arc is that he was NOT a good guy— He BECOMES a good guy. All of the tension surrounding him in the original trilogy is based on the fact Han Solo looks out for himself. His return at the end of A New Hope is predicated on the audience being surprised that he came back.

Each movie, there was no guarantee that he would stay or stick around when the going got tough. By the end of the trilogy, Han’s character arc has ended with him choosing to be a part of something bigger and caring for people beyond himself and beyond his circle of friends. Choosing to marry Leia means choosing to remain relatively sedentary and present for her (and by extension their family, friends, and the New Republic), and besides, what better way to throw people off the scent and protect yourself from your criminal past than by marrying into the royal and political-leading family?

TLDR: Han takes Leia’s last name after they’re married because he finally has a family he chooses to tie himself to.

4. Personal headcanon: Leia does not forgive Vader for what he became, regardless of whether Luke says he redeemed himself in the end.

Leia not only saw the war he led and the atrocities he committed her entire life, he enabled/directed the destruction of her entire home planet before her very eyes. Leia loves her brother, but she cannot reconcile what Luke says about Vader being a good person with the war criminal she knew him to be.

Bonus headcanon: I think in the sequel trilogy Leia should have been the one to see a vision of her son’s future and she should have been either the catalyst for Ben Solo leaving, or she should have been the one who said she saw too much of Vader in him as an adult and he had to be killed in order to be defeated, while Luke and Han should have been the ones trying to bring him back. Luke’s character in the original trilogy was defined by compassion and mercy even towards one of the worst people the galaxy had to offer, and Han’s character was defined by the people who didn’t give up on him and whose encouragement and support and willingness to see the good in him were the reasons he was able to become a good person.

5. Personal headcanon: I’ve had the idea since 2020 that Mando’s family on Aq Vetina were part of the Disciples of the Whills. I’ve liked the idea of Mando being connected in a non-Force-sensitive way to other lore surrounding the Force, and I’ve based it on the similarities in costume design and because I think thematically, the idea of exploring the Force through a different lens than the Jedi would have made a much more interesting and compelling story in what was originally a relatively independent TV show with new characters on a much smaller scale, exploring different parts of the galaxy.

How I understand the doctrine of the Whills is that it’s more trying to understand the direction of the Force as it tries to find balance in the world, and the result of those teachings means seeing how the Force working in others is what benefits people— In Rogue One Chirrut says “May the Force of others be with you,” which I’ve interpreted as “Yes the Force exists and has an impact on life and death, but because it is the connection binding every living thing together, it’s our choices and the actions we take and the connections we form that exhibit the Force, which are what will ultimately save us in the end.” Chirrut says “The Force protected me,” and Baze Malbus says “I protected you,” and they are both right.

In the context of The Mandalorian, I wanted to see what could have happened if the show diverged from the Jedi, who to be clear were a specific order of Force sensitive followers whose primary purpose was as protectors of the galaxy— The Jedi teachings weren’t just a belief system, they were combined with a martial art and specific learned abilities that were intended to be used to protect people. That doesn’t mean their way was the only way Force-sensitives interacted with the Force.

Long story short, I wanted Mando’s potential ties to a different part of Star Wars lore to be the gateway to exploring more of the galaxy that these stories were set in. I think it would have been a lot more interesting and would have freed up the story to go whatever direction it needed without being confined to the Jedi and prior source material

cmq characters' signature scents (because im insufferable)

inspired by me finding out that casey assigned their book four characters signature scents back in may and i completely missed it. these are not their signature fragrances (except alex and henry and kind of shara), but rather what fragrances would smell most like them.

alex claremont-diaz (red, white, and royal blue) - canonically santal 33 by le labo but also skins x vilhelm by vilhelm parfumerie for a bit more depth

i know what the movie said. i think santal 33 is boring and basic. skins x vilhelm feels to me like an elevated version of santal 33 with a bit more depth and dimension, so it could perhaps be his more "adult" scent once he's a lawyer or what have you.

henry fox-mountchristen-windsor (red, white, and royal blue) - bois marocain by tom ford

also a basic take, but hear me out!! i originally had henry with tobacco vanille, but it pulls kind of vanilla-y and sweet. i think he'd lean for something classic and understated but slightly different (which is where the pink peppercorn comes in, since it has a nice balance of spicy and floral), while still being palatable for the general public. it also has a similar core as santal 33 in the virginia cedar, which may have been how he recognized it on alex. he may have worn it before and moved on, and kept the base of virginia cedar.

august landry (one last stop) - good girl glorious gold by carolina herrera

i actually have a fragrance in the mail as we speak that really fits the pancakes aspect of august's scent, but she canonically uses lemon soap, so i had to include it! ols is my favorite of the three published novels, and august is my everything, so picking out scents for her and jane was such a labor of love for me.

reminder, this is not the scent august uses (she doesn't have time for perfume while she's solving the mysteries of her sexy subway girlfriend!), but rather what she just smells like. at the core, i wanted lots of sweet notes, because her pancake aroma never wears off, but also coffee for the long nights spent on the train and coffee tits and citrus for her soap.

jane su (one last stop) - kasbah by 19-69

to quote august herself, "jane is spun sugar. a switchblade girl with a cotton-candy heart." so, i had to reflect that. leather and sugar, with a bit of oranges (electricity not included). finding a fragrance that had leather, orange, and sugar notes (of any variety) was near impossible, so if y'all will forgive me for using honey, i had to go with the second best option.

again, she isn't going out and buying this fragrance. kind of hard to do so when you're stuck in a time loop. this is just the essence of jane, so to speak, if it were to be bottled up into a fragrance.

chloe green (i kissed shara wheeler) - dodo (2020) by zoologist

i wanted a weird girl dark academia perfume and it was not coming up with my existing notes so this is what i settled on. in my head for chloe i was not picturing her as wearing fragrances, but rather having a permanent scent of either coffee or tea and then some weird ass linger scent like blood or dirt or something.

obviously, this is not really that, but i think the brand zoologist itself has that very vibe (go take a look, their stuff is cool as hell). dodo is kind of in the middle of ultra weird and tame with their stuff, and i think it fits the vibe i'm sort of going for. chloe also mentions in one chapter that one of her favorite smells is when one of her moms brought home fresh cilantro, so herbal notes felt appropriate.

shara wheeler (i kissed shara wheeler) - dilis classic collection no. 21 by dilis parfum

shara canonically wears lilac body spray and vanilla-mint lip gloss, so i took those notes and ran with it. this is like a more nuanced version of what shara would smell like, with things like pepper and cedar grounding a very floral scent. when it dries down, it's vanilla and cedar based, rather than the lilac everyone expects from shara, creating the idea and imagery that she's not exactly what everyone thinks she is.

i hope y'all enjoyed getting a look into what my brain is like on a daily basis! i love fragrance and talking about it and especially love attaching it to fictional characters since i think it says so much about them and their personality. maybe i'll fuck around and do more characters but i wanted to do the main romances? kind of? from each of the three.

#maybe shes born with it maybe its an obsession #cmq posting about ols yesterday resparked my obsession #very excited for my august perfume to come in #cant wait to smell like pancakes #maybe thats how i find the partner of my dreams #red white and royal blue #rwrb #alex claremont diaz #henry fox mountchristen windsor #one last stop #august landry #jane su #i kissed shara wheeler #chloe green #shara wheeler #casey mcquiston #mcquistonverse #kat speaks #bookblr

Would you like to know one of my silly little resolutions? It's actually blog more.

Because I think it's a good way for me to access the gratitude and joy! I've been keeping a wee diary doc each year since 2020 (AUSpicious as all hell to have started on Jan 1, 2020), where it's really just about putting a phrase to the notable and the delights (the most notable). Not every day, but like a handful of times a month. A huge amount of entries are just listing a food item and a film and a natural sensation, like a scent or a weather. Moments where I was happy. Not all of them! Sometimes it's good to acknowledge the sorrow and strangeness (negative) too! But being attentive to the lovely things is really, really nice.

This morning I am back in my own home, the sunlight was coming through my kitchen balcony doors bright and January-ivory and making the English muffin with the guava jam Jody sent me glow so beautifully, and now I'm going to go run around in the cold woods in head to toe fleece while probably listening to some movie podcast, and then buy an onion and some dill. And the rest of this year I'm going to practice an open elegant posture and turn in to bed early to read and make sure the dinner parties are every month---and bother you all here with more dumb jokes. Happy January 2 ♥

Peace Train, by Yusuf/Cat Stephens (the 10,000 maniacs version is also really good). Also, somewhat paradoxically, Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths.

Emma (2020) or the BBC Pride and Prejudice series (1995)

LOVE autumn scents like cinnamon and chai, but also love musky and woody scents. idk, depends. I also love petrichor candles.

Tulips. I LOVE tulips. Lilies and sunflowers as well. Oh, and white and orange roses

My close family and my wonderful, lovely friends <3. I love you allll <33 xx

physical: i like my hair and my freckles, and i also appreciate the things that my body is capable of doing :) non-physical: The things i really love about myself are my curiosity, my love for learning and reading, and my capacity to explore new realms of art and create something.

I love woody colors, whenever I see them I feel really calm. I also love dark marine blues and greens. Sunshine yellows and oranges make me feel really happy.

@runglorn, @legz2heaven, @riples-on-a-blank-shore, @this-wandering-wind, @kaleb-is-definitely-sane, and all the rest of ye mutuals :) tragically, a lot of my in-person friends aren't on tumblr. BUT I LOVE YOU ALL <3

reading, or looking at the rain

travelling to europe in the next few weeks!!!

for someone i've known for a while, I think i'd love an art date, a museum date, a bookstore date, basically anything where we both get to talk about things that we care about and have fun (and be cute :)) :). For a first date with someone I don't know that well, I prefer to have something also like a used bookstore date or just some setting where I get to talk with that person and find out more about them. Basically, in both situations, conversation is crucial. :)

I am actually doing really well right now. I'm in a very positive space at the moment, and I've been enjoying a lot of creative projects and reading. :)

stir-fried umami mushrooms with ramen/ravioli, sliced avocado, and tofu

100% good omens s1 or pride and prejudice (1995)--does that last one even count? it's a miniseries lmao

i'm going to do five emojis for the five people i tagged earlier. @runglorn: i associate you with the emoji 🕷️. you know why. @legz2heaven: i feel like cheese fits your vibe: 🧀<3 (yes, a lot of thought went into that :)) @riples-on-a-blank-shore: i feel like 🤗the hug emoji really fits. you've been so supportive over the last year and i really appreciate that :) @this-wandering-wind 🍄I love your outfits and i feel like the cottagecore/cute mushroom really works well :) @kaleb-is-definitely-sane I associate you with a love for books and other media. Here's a lovely little hardcover of your fav novel :) 📔love you all <3

I always enjoy having conversations with you about philosophy or life or books or media! You're awesome, and your blog is really cool!

fairy lights 100%

ish. i have a lot of stuffed animals that my grandma crocheted for me when i was really little. and recently, i've started crocheting my own. so yes, ig? lol

connections with people and books and art. i can't just choose one!! help lol

to know that everything will be ok. less seriously, i would give anything for some marzipan covered in chocolate rn

you'll get to a place where you feel comfortable and loved in your friend group and don't constantly think that everyone despises you. lol that was a seriously concern for a few years way back when :)

please, please, buy a cottage in the woods :)

sweaters that people have given/made for me. also, carpenter jeans. love them.

walk in the rain, read, just sit and stare at a blank wall lol

my best friend embroidered a gorgeous anne of green gables reading pillow for me a few years back. i love that pillow so much. thank you, bestie <3

ugh that's tough. I would love to live in the recent film "perfect days". But, if i could retain my basic human rights, i'd love to live an the emma (2020) adaptation. :)

When i was really little, I wanted to be anne shirley with everything in my soul. I think now, I would really love to be mirabel in the starless sea. If we ignored political and social issues, I would love to be a jane austen character, but similar to the issue with anne shirley, i just love having rights that little bit too much 😉

both? 🥺idk, a good hug can heal a lot of things. but i do love hand-holding too, especially when it's cold out.

morning for productivity and happiness, night for poetic value.

there are certain smells that remind me of home--a mix of vanilla and something i can never place. a lot of music by Eternal Eclipse makes me feel a longing for a long-forgotten sanctuary. there are certain comfort foods (generally soups) that have the same effect. certainly a lot of art can do that, as well as writing/poetry. I couldn't possibly list it all :)

thanks so much, @kaleb-is-definitely-sane for sending this to me. I will no longer apologize for sending you absurdly long asks anymore either 😉<3

to begin my noble quest of being more annoying (a neutral term for me meaning: efforts to be more outspoken about my interests)

i literally just want to make lists of shit i am into so you all can get a better feel for who i am and why i write what i do and hopefully find things in common <3

music: not to be that guy but i genuinely do listen to everything. though not in a "play whatever it's nbd," but in a "music has been a special interest of mine since childhood and i have made hours long multi-genre playlists every month since my senior year of high school" BUT some current favorites include: Blondshell Searows Elton John (and by extension George Michael, duh. friendship of the century. Elton just came first and led me to George) Simon and Garfunkel Faye Webster Dijon Eagles Feist The Sundays Prince Chappell Roan Gorillaz Fiona Apple i am cutting myself off now, but trust there are many more and they are swirling in my head at all times.

film similarly i have such a taste for movies that's all over the place and often go against people's perception of me (i am a lesbian with a philosophy minor whose primary focus was feminist theory and i fucking loves James Bond) but that's what makes it FUN! film and fiction in general is literally a playground. So this is gonna be a mix of specific movies and directors! James Bond (2006 Casino Royale is the best, you can fight me on this but i won't listen) Memento Only Yesterday and Porco Rosso (by Studio Ghibli) Emma (2020 version by Autumn de Wilde) But I'm a Cheerleader Say Anything Rocketman Kingsman: The Secret Service You've Got Mail The Usual Suspects Eyes Wide Shut and our newest addition, Saltburn <333 David Cronenberg (Crash and Dead Ringers especially) David Lynch (Fire Walk with Me and Blue Velvet especially)

tv let's just go simple here The X Files Twin Peaks The L Words Buffy The Vampire Slayer John Doe Bob's Burgers King of the Hill Futurama

literature listen, i have a lit degree but i am also who i am, so my favorite books are usually the last good ones i read. that being said, my most longstanding favorites and the authors i return to are: Haruki Murakami (1Q84, Norwegian Wood, After the Quake, etc. i have genuinely read 80% of this man's 50 years of writing at this point) Melissa Febos Sally Rooney James Baldwin Ottessa Moshfegh Oliver K. Langmead Iain Reid Sean Hewitt hobbies i collect 'em! acoustic and electric guitar crocheting, knitting, embroidering quilting jewelry making collaging indie perfume (i will no doubt be gushing about this more on this account because i also connect perfumes to my characters/projects and i have upwards of 100 scents in my collection) if you are still here you rock i have also thought of starting a youtube channel for literal years (like many of us late 90s-early 00s kids i have tried several times throughout the worst years of adolescence lol) to just talk about writing and also alllll of that. idk if it will happen but if it does think of this as a sort of primer!

#get to know me #i know this is so much information but i know for a fact there are so many people in a similar genre of interests as me and i love you #basically my taste across the board is mean lesbians and sad gay men

What Is The 20 Year Fashion Rule And Why Does It Exist?

I'm sure everyone even mildly interested in fashion has heard of the 20 year rule.

But for those uninitiated: what actually is it?

Boiled down: The 20 year rule is the idea that every 20 years, fashion trends will resurface and become popular again. For example, the most recent being the resurgence of 'Y2K' and 2000's fashion; like low rise jeans and baguette bags.

Destiney's Child In 2001

Fashion Nova Listing For Low Rise Jeans

But the 2020s isn't the only time this has happened. All over the world, in all different time periods this has happened. And while the 20 year wait is obviously a trend within the rule, repetitions in fashion can span ever farther.

For another example: the 1960s and 1920s were perfect twins in social breakthroughs at the time: women's rights and kitchen slavery were being brought forward into the light to be spoken and discussed, 'free love' and sexual liberation were hot on every-ones tongues, haircuts were short and dresses even shorter. The general silhouette women desired seemed more and more androgynous with a boyish box shape.

Famous silent film star, Louise Brooks, who pioneered her french bob and was seen as flapper culture personified.

Mary Quant, the British fashion designer named an 'instrumental figure in the 1960s London-Mod and young fashion movements' sporting a similarly sharp and short bob.

Like I said the fashion rule dictates that every 20 years - give or take - certain fashion designs and trends repeat themselves and come up again. But why does this happen? There are multiple theories to explain this:

One would be simple: Fashion designers and influences are either subconsciously or consciously taking incorporation from fashion they see their parents and older people wearing. As children we are mouldable and impressionable. We most likely see photos of our parents at our age, watch movies from before our time, see our older sisters and family dressing in fashions of decades before us as we pick apart in our mind things we like and things we don't from them. We sneak into our mothers wardrobe and steal her kitten heels and cargos. We rummage our older sisters drawers and laugh at the silliness of her whale-tail thong, or we fumble about in her platform sandles. We play hide and seek in our grandmothers closet and smell the old mothball scent of her colourful shift dresses she used to parade around in as a teenager. We shape ourselves from our past and we remember the women we loved, and the clothes we loved them in.

George Taylor's 'Hemline Theory' cleverly states how fashion changes based on the financial economy we find ourselves in. For example: the roaring '20s were filled with long legged flappers showing off their beautifully elegant silk stockings. Expensive fur coats, jewels, sparkles, pearls were all the rage. With the great depression: silks were no longer affordable or in-fashion. Furs, sequins, glitters, other unnecessary pretty add-ons were scrapped as they were just that: unnecessary and pricey. We saw this theory working again during the economic frustrations in the COVID-19 pandemic. Cheap, low-quality websites like Shein began becoming all the rage and the norm as we began filling our closets of both timeless and trendy outfits. During this economic change: 1990s was fresh in everyone's minds as curtain bangs, buckets hats and crop tops were everywhere you looked.

Another possible explanation is the de-stigmatisation and popularity of thrifting thanks to apps like Tiktok and Instagram. During the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s and further on: thrifting, bargain bins and charity shops were a thing of desperation for most working-class families. Lots of children were made fun of for their second hand, old-style clothing. Although, recently, Tiktok influencers specifically have popularised the 'hobby' of thrifting through the new-found important of 'sustainable fashion' and the higher cost of living. Whereas before charity shops and bargain bins would have been labelled 'trashy' or 'council estate' now they seem to be a trend. Ignoring the classist implications of such a trend (since that talk would indeed require another whole blog post) this means that fashion from the past, or so called 'out of date' styles were back in as people were buying older and older clothes from these second-hand shops. This also meant that more and more influences were rocking these looks and piquing their fans interest at older fashion trends from the past.

But no matter the reasoning for the 20 year rule in fashion: I can safely conclude that it will never fully go away. From a 15th century noble woman gasping giddily at the matching puff sleeves of a 1930s housewife, to a 1920s flapper spinning and showing off her dress to a London Mod, I have a feeling that repetition may be - in its most poetic sense - a beautiful thing representing the unity and truely wholesome humanity of the human race.

Midnight Sun Part 2!!! Possibly my favorite section; I could not put it down, especially the rescue part. I did have Des Notes, though:

“It wasn’t really a difficult ask.” Nope, no way a vampire from 1901 would say this 2020s slang in 2006. Don’t slip up, Meyer!!! Or get better editors!!!

Alice introducing herself to Edward by hugging him and calling him brother and Edward going like “Yep, legit” will never not be great

Edward lying in bed and nearly giving Bella a heart attack with his sluttishness is almost worse in his POV, omg. How the fuck does that happen

Edward reading Tooth and Claw just because Bella recommended it. Remind me again why some people don’t like Edward?

Wait—Edward describes Bella’s scent as “lavender” or “freesia.” One of Bella’s favorite scents is lavender, as well as clean laundry. And she blushed when she looked at Edward, clearly thinking about his scent. Could Edward’s scent actually…be similar to Bella’s? Is that why her scent affects him so powerfully? Holy shit.

Edward “It was enlightening and alluring to watch her in her element” (Bella *eating Cheerios*) 🤝 Romeo “See how she leans her cheek upon her hand” (Juliet: *leaning her cheek on her hand*)

“Bella had gone to the other room to calm her mother. And then the vision had overtaken Alice.” Nice way to cover up that little plot hole, very enterprising

“The image of myself astride the sleek black motorcycle was so appealing that for a second I ignored her” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s giving Terminator. Love it. Also, what a great parallel to Bella’s motorcycle adventures

Very ambivalent about the highway scene. Otoh, it’s interesting and clever and detailed how the Cullens worked together. Otoh, it’s over the top at places! Like why did they flip the car into upcoming traffic????? Why did they even have to switch cars to begin with????? Meyer really should avoid full-length action scenes (I did like the Victoria fight in Eclipse, though)

Ngl, the James hunt is probably better than in Twilight, if just because Edward is at the front of the action. Still amazing how James slipped away from them

“Bella’s blood was the opposite of pain. It erased every burn I’d ever suffered. And it was so much more than just the absence of pain. It was satisfaction, it was bliss. I felt suffused with a strange kind of joy—a joy of the body alone. I was healed and alive, every nerve ending thrumming with contentment.” The Metaphor(tm) has now become literal.

Book Edward *drinking Bella’s blood*: ✨Bliss ✨🥰 >>>>>> Movie Edward: *gnaws on Bella’s arm like a chicken wing*

“The chuckle that bubbled up from my chest surprised me. I had her blood on her tongue. It was probably tinting the edges of my irises red even now. It was drying into my clothes and dyeing my skin. But she could still make me laugh”

Jasper looks so dangerous to other vampires that James just…accepts his fate. Like welp, guess I’ll die. Iconic

“Why am I towing that ridiculous truck?” Okay, the Cullens hating Bella’s truck is officially a gag.

“For a moment, I imagined Renée as a vampire. Would her thoughts shout audibly at everyone, inescapable?” Nice foreshadowing/Easter egg for Renesmee. So there is a meaning and rationale behind the name other than Bella’s corniness.

That section where Edward watches James’ video and is so overcome with rage and despair and then starts to pray for the strength to leave Bella…that passage was so well-written I was nearly crying

Re: Edward’s decision to leave Bella, It is genius on Meyer’s part (or, well, just practical) to make the obstacles internal instead of external. Edward needs to deal with the consequences of leaving Bella and learn from his mistakes

Finished and in sum: This was great and only gets better in the re-reading. There is a lot of whinging and whining over certain aspects, mostly by anti fans, but those didn’t really bother me. Most lines were taken out of context, as they always do, and spun into something questionable; in context they were fine. Then there are those who say it is better and better-written than Twilight, but I disagree. Twilight was much better structured and less superfluous in detail than Midnight Sun, which could get bogged down in minute-to-minute summary. That said, Midnight Sun does have the advantage that all the dynamic change and development are on Edward’s side than Bella’s, as in a proper Beauty and the Beast telling. But Bella’s story does have power and is arguably more subversive than Edward’s. I think the two complement ultimately each other—the subtext of Twilight is the text of Midnight Sun, and vice versa. Reading both gets you a more complete picture…which the TV show would undoubtedly fuck up in some way if they decide to use parts of Midnight Sun. Le sigh.

#twilight #twilight renaissance #cristina reads #midnight sun #haters gonna hate #i remember robert pattinson hating the first few chapters meyer had written #but then he never liked or understood the character #edward’s arc is so nicely done too #it’s not complete but it is significant #but anyway onto more important matters: who is the bigger simp romeo or edward #i still say romeo but it’s really tough #edward rivals him in almost every way
