Based on one of the previous asks, If Crowned Lucis Caelum’s share a dream space, does that mean that the Lucii - and even the non-Lucii LC’s - can just show up too?

(Totally not saying this because I want Somnus to get shredded by Ace. Or see him grovel in front of Ardyn. But I’m not not saying that.)

Ace does not intend for his dreams to become a family reunion. Unfortunately illegitimate Lucis Caelums' that wind up as a crown prince are few and far between so that's exactly what winds up happening.

He would appreciate it if people stopped addressing him as "The Hierophant" and he would appreciate it more if everyone just left.

"What are you doing?" Noctis asks as Ace closes his eyes.

"Trying to force myself to wake up."

Noctis grimaces. "I've tried that before, it never works."

"We're stuck here until we wake naturally aren't we."

"We are."

"Fuck." Ace says both in response to Noctis' comment and the fact that Somnus Lucis Caelum has entered dreamland.

Somnus meets Ace's gaze.

Ace distantly wonders if he can kill a dead man. He also wonders if his uncle will be showing up anytime soon. Ardyn hasn't slept in a few hundred years but he swore to try and sleep tonight.

What King would leave their Prince to the wolves after all?

"Somnus," Ace greets without any bothering to hide his disdain for his ancestor, "What brings you here?"

"Where is he?"

"I asked you a question first, dear ancestor of mine," Ace says and smiles a smile reserved for irritating Imperial officials, "I would have an answer before you ask your question."

"My brother," Somnus says at last, "Where is he?"

"Not sleeping as you can see."

"He wouldn't leave you to us."

"He might," Ace says mildly, "You're the one who thought of him as a monster. If he's as much as a monster as you claim then it would only be right for him to crown me and leave me, no?"

Somnus' eyes dart around the dream. He finds nothing.

"Then again-" Ace places a finger to his chin in thought. "-You are the one who made him a monster in the first place. Do you know how hard it was to convince him to not kill me?"

"Aether." A familiar voice echoes in the dream and Ace turns to greet his uncle. Ardyn shoves several family members out of the way and the rest part before him like the sea. "You know I never intended to kill you."

The words are spoken as he comes to a stop beside Ace and drops a hat on him.

"No," Ace agrees, "You didn't. You just planned to use me to destabilize Lucis, seat me on an empty throne and watch as I slowly went mad and succumbed to the Scourge."

"It was an excellent plan."

"It would have worked if I was normal."

"Count your blessings."

Ace makes a face.

"I would rather not."

Ardyn hums in thought.

"A reasonable idea, Ramuh likes you too much."

"He likes me because I died."

"You never told me how that went by the way."

"And I never will."

Somnus coughs.

Ardyn turns his attention to his brother.

The dream turns the color of blood.

"Stay away from what is mine," Ardyn suggests, "Or I will turn your kingdom into a ruin."

"He is my blood," Somnus says and the dream darkens as mist rises from the ground. "But he is not why I am here."

Ardyn laughs. A cruel thing.

"Then why are you here? To make amends? Dear brother, it is far too late for that."

The rogue shirai ryu Ch-2 💙💖

Bi-han was currently going to the lab sektor was working in sektor had called him for an urgent matter that needed to be discussed, bi-han was in a frustrated mood as usual, he wanted to try and track down his brothers kuai liang and Tomas vrbada.

Even after his last fight with his brother he still hasn't forgotten about him and wants to make amends with his brother.

"Ashrah you can't tell me what to do!" A girl with short black hair and white highlight and black eyes with diamond diamond marks on them she also had fair skin and wore a black tank top with black pants and black boots.

"Sareena i am doing what's best for you!" Ashrah said the two sisters had gotten into a fight ashrah wanted sareena to stay with the monks but sareena wanted to leave the temple and go on her own journey she didn't want to follow her sisters footsteps.

"Ashrah i am begging you" Sareena said to ashrah "as I said you will not leave and you will stay! Otherwise I would have to use force!" Sareena looked at ashrah she stepped forward towards ashrah and quickly threw a shadow ball at ashrah causing her to deflect it with her kriss sareena then let out her devil wings and flew away ignoring ashrah's calls she didn't know where she was going only where her heart lead her too.

Bi-han was currently following sektor to his laboratory sektor stopped walking "sektor I don't have all day what do you-" Bi-han stopped as he felt a sharp wound on his back he looked behind to see it was cyrax but he was a yellow cyber robot "cyrax! You dare betray me!?' Bi-han shouted " Cyrax doesn't follow your commands..." Sektor said to bi-han his eyes widen looking at both cyrax and sektor "you both dare betray the lin kuei!" Bi-han shouted "actually you did, you see I had no intention of following your footsteps I just wanted the throne..." Sektor said bi-han's eyes widen "how could you sektor..." Bi-han fell into the ground the wound started to turn purple as he coughed up blood "good bye bi-han." Sektor said leaving bi-han and cyrax followed him.

Bi-han layed there on the snow not knowing what to do his eyes started to close the last thing he saw was a figure flying down in front of him "hey stay awake" The figure yelled.

The sound of chirping birds and the light of the sun on his face caused bi-han to wake up his eyes wandering around the room he was lying on a bed his wound bandaged and he was shirtless "what happened-" "I see your awake" Bi-han saw a girl stand in near the door way with a bowl of soup "who are you?" Bi-han asked "sareena I am the one who rescued you in the mountains" Sareena said to bi-han.

His mind drifted to the betrayal of cyrax and sektor "cyrax, sektor they...." Bi-han was at a loss of words trying to comprehend what was happening sareena sat on the chair beside his bed "what's your name-" "It's none of your business" Bi-han said to sareena she raised her eye brow "well eat up" Sareena said giving him the bowl of soup bi-han snatched the bowl and drank it in a gulp.

"Not a kind one are you" Sareena said bi-han narrowed his eyes at her "where am i?" Bi-han asked sareena "Japan" Sareena said to bi-han his eyes widened and looked at sareena "my sister was looking for me plus a strange army was looking for you so fleeing to Japan was the only option" Sareena said to bi-han his hand was on his forehead sareena put her hand on his shoulder "are you alright?" Sareena asked bi-han "do you know where the shirai ryu is?" Bi-han asked sareena.

"I am sorry what?" Sareena asked "I need to find the shirai ryu" Bi-han said getting up but his wound was too painful "hold up ice man that wound is poisonous any wrong move and it can get you killed" Sareena said to bi-han "so what I am supposed to take a fragile girl like you with me..." Bi-han said to sareena "I am not a fragile girl" Sareena said to bi-han "right cause-" Bi-han got pushed onto a chair sareena put her leg on his shoulder pressing him down with her hell sickle pointed at him.

"Listen here and listen good right now I am your only option and it looks to me that almost all the realms are hunting you down so it's either you accept my help Or suffer the consequences" Sareena said bi-han was stunned he stared at sareena his heart skipped a beat seeing the dominant woman "fine" Bi-han said sareena put her leg down and her hell sickle disappeared in the shadows "good now let's get going ice boy-" "Bi-han..." Bi-han said sareena looked at bi-han "my name is bi-han..." Bi-han said getting up "alright bi-han" Sareena said to bi-han.

"Let's go we have no time to waste" Bi-han said to sareena he was now determined to get to his brothers and try to apologies to them for what he did he looked at sareena who stood there with a smile 'maybe she's not a fragile woman after all' bi-han thought to himself 'atleast I got ice man to open up a bit' sareena thought.

Son Of Osborn

In this universe Peter is biologically son of Norman Osborn, brother of Harry Osborn. (And he used to be 5,6 now he is 8ft) (and had short hair before growing)

Harry is aware that his father is emotionally and psychologically abusive. Which is why he does not like him but he has to tolerate him for Peter's sake. (He even tried to protect Peter from Norman only to make it worse)

He got the scar from Norman indicating that he had hurt Peter physically as well. Which is why Harry dislike for Norman turned into hatered.

Backstory: since he is biologically son of Osborn. Norman has favored him the most. Meanwhile Harry takes the role of spider-man. Peter was indoctrinated by Norman's insanity and manipulation (and drugging him on a daily basis) making Peter just as insane as him, but only using his insanity in important situations. Since then Norman has made Peter do Goblin missions for some time to get spider-man off of his back (not to get caught). But after Norman's "death" Peter went nuts deciding to kill spider-man completely. Overtime he took over the business (not that Harry wanted to be apart of this anyway) and creates plans to get rid of spider-man. Harry tries his best to get it out of him to forget it but Peter was insisting on getting revenge. During the summer after his "death" Peter met a girl to say at least and fell in love to the point he became obsessed with her wanting to care for her and not lose her like he lost his father, Harry noticed this and tried to give Peter some advise (so Peter won't create plans to kill him as spider-man and try to find out his plans in his office) so he could have fun, but non the less Harry was happy that his brother found someone to love (or he thinks like that).

Unfortunately in one of the spider-man and Green Goblins fight. Harry's identity got revealed to Peter and only Peter. It made him go even more insane with grief on why would his own brother do this? Why whould he kill him!? He couldn't kill him but beat him near to death and returned to his home (Harry may have survived but he never returned knowing that his brother would kill him if he did).

Since then, Peter hasn't seen Harry (only in fights though). Overtime he feels sad that he lost another family he doesn't know what to do. He want to forgive him but why should he? Harry killed their father.

It breaks him even more when he finds out that his father is truly not dead but was hiding? Why did he faked his death? He was grieving and tried to get revenge on him only to find out that he's still alive? Did he frame Harry, just so Peter would hate him? He is torn apart on trying to get his dad back or try to make amends with his brother. So he tries to get fresh air, maybe talk to his l̶o̶v̶e̶ friend. Maybe she can help him! Give him advice! Yeah it will go smoothly right.

Not everything goes smoothly

And there she is. Looking different? Red skin? Halo? Wings? Is she what? A demon? She's covered in blood. He stares in shock until blush covered his face, it only made him want more of her. He got closer to her wanting to hug her but she backed away.

"What's wrong?"

"You know we can't be together right?"

"What! why!?" His eyes wide in shock and panic. Why. Why won't you be with him? Are gonna leave him as well?

"Because. A villain and a guardian won't work, we are mortal enemies"

"Besides I'm from another dimension, i can't live here. I have to go back home" she turns and walks away while the poor boy drops on his knees tears dropping from his eyes. But then she stops

"Unless" he looks at her

"Unless what!?"

"You can prove yourself. Are you up to the task?" She turns behind again looking at him directly.

"YES ANYTHING. I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!"

"Then. Leave villainy behind come with me or" she walks towards him before touching his face "stay here and continue to be a villain"

He couldn't lose her. Not this. Nor ever. He lost his father and his brother. He couldn't lose her again. So with the obsession and love in his eyes he tracked down Norman. Murdering him as a result, using the head as the trophy he wrapped it as the present and showed it to her.

As much as the girl wasn't expecting the head she took it as the 'proof' of him leaving his villainy behind. He left the universe with her never to be seen again.

Now he has grown. He's much stronger and dangerous than ever before.

Boruto & kawaki after time-skip

If you see closely, boruto charging towards kawaki has changed. Previously boruto would have charged at him with the motion as kawaki.

In the top picture, momoshiki might be in control but he is obviously mimicking boruto's fighting style with the rasengan and how he jumps forward. That's how boruto used to fight.

But after the time-skip, boruto is charging towards kawaki at the same speed yet again but more relaxed. It almost looked like he is walking towards him. It shows one thing clearly, boruto knows he can READ kawaki. Just like he read code.

Read as in, less fighting more understanding. Boruto might be fighting the opponents but he is also understanding how to control them. With code, Boruto was busy trying to instill fear in him and make the guy retrieve. With kawaki, Boruto is trying so that kawaki is calmed down because at the moment Boruto perceives kawaki as an active bomb.

Now let's look at kawaki, kawaki's fighting style hasn't changed. It shows that he didn't try to learn but only sharpened what he did learn. From what Delta said, jt looks like he was training but only training his karma and the things he already knows.

We can also take a look into their minds with this, kawaki hasn't changed his mind at all. Very focused on killing Boruto. While Boruto has changed his mindset, about what? We don't really know. He still wants to made amends with kawaki like he said before the time-skip. He has changed his mind about something and I think we will figure it out along the way.

Kawaki in both the pictures is going for the kill.

Boruto-momoshiki in the above picture is going for the kill, while Boruto is going for knock out.

Thanks fir listening to my ted-talk.

Happy Saturday night/Sunday morning fellow tsc fans! How we all feeling post episode drop? Good? Bad? SHOCKED and APPALLED at the Charlie scene*? Smad about Jack being called a frozen lunatic? Because our emotional support lunatic DID in fact THAW? Mad that Santa can now, uh, blow winds and uh, send ICICLES? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT DID HE DO TO JACK? WHERE IS JACK?

I'm calm, I'm cool. I'm chill. Uh.

Are you tired of people being like nah, fuck it, Jack is still evil/frozie/villain lmao, POST tsc3? Girl, same.

Well, may I offer you a plug for Crystal Springs in this trying time?

Crystal Springs? You ask. The thing I see you post about a solid 25% of your time on hellsite?

Yes! Crystal Springs!

Well...alright, I'll bite, you say. What is it?

Crystal Springs is a genfic that I wrote that takes place a year after tsc3, and focuses on our boy Jack Frost, who has THAWED! He's been chilling at the Pole, doing them community service hours, making up with Santa and the other elves, just. Y'know. GETTING BETTER POST-THAW. HE'S HAVING A REDEMPTION ARC! IT'S GREAT! IT'S ALL GREAT!

Except for one itty bitty tiny thing...

His powers seem to be...gone. And you know, this wouldn't be TOO much of a problem if he wasn't tied to the Dome that shelters the entire North Pole and saves them from exposure and also, keeps Elfsburg temperate!

But unfortunately, keeping the Dome shipshape is one of the ah, not so perky perks of Jack's job. And when his powers stop working...the Dome starts melting, warming up the North Pole and letting the magic leak out. And if the magic leaks out??? It'll spread way too fast, way too hot, and potentially jeopardize not only the magical populous of the world, but the regular populous, too! Because not only does the Dome keep them safe and temperate, it also doles out the magic in proper quantities so as not to overwhelm the magic that coats the entire globe!

And on TOP of that, BECAUSE the Dome melting is starting--a process known as the Deliquesce--everyone is beginning to think that maybe Jack's going back to his old ways...ruh-oh raggy!

So what to do, what to do? Well, after finally admitting his lack of powers to the Council, there's one thing that may be able to help Jack: the Legate Law.

Santa has his clauses, but the Council? Well, they all have a lil' something known as the Legate Law, in which, should something happen to them or they become unable to do their job or even just retire (yeah tscs series, I did it FIRST! HA!), their Legate steps in to take their place!

Jack's Legate should be good to take over his seasonal duties and fix up the Dome temporarily, if they partially enact the law. They may even be able to help Jack get to the bottom of his power shortage!

There's only one problem.

His Legate is his younger sister, Jacqueline.

Who he hasn't seen or talked in fourteen hundred years.

In fact, the last time they saw each other, he uh. He maybe almost killed her. Maybe. Almost. It was bad. Bad enough to be known as the Day of Darkness in magical history.

But, Jack, realizes, it's time to make amends with the fam. And this seems to be the only way to save the North Pole and all of the magical world. (And Christmas too, I guess).

But when Jacqueline arrives and things take a turn for the worse, the pair realize that if they want to fix this at all, they're gonna have to go home.

Back to Crystal Springs.

(BOOM NAME DROP!)

So off Jack goes to make amends with his parents, meet the younger twin siblings he didn't even KNOW existed, and hopefully get his and Jacqueline's sleet together before the nefarious stranger in the shadows manages to string together a devious plot for some very, very, very old vengeance on the Frosts.

Oh, I didn't mention the mysterious stranger? Well, there is one, and he's stirring up trouble for the entire Frost Fam!

So. In conclusion. Crystal Springs has EVERYTHING.

AND MORE! (Bernard, weird evil man working in the shadows for lord knows WHAT reason, canon characters IN CHARACTER)

But mostly, it has JACK. And if anyone out there is missing their emotional support frozen lunatic, well. I GOTYOU ;)

🆕🆕 And is now on ao3 here! 🆕🆕 (Up to Chapter 29: Mind Goop)

*we here at SafyreSky Industries are aware of the reasons they did the Charlie scene the way they did in Disney+'s The Santa Clauses. However, we are upset at the way they portrayed him and his wife's relationship. SafyreSky Industries is of the opinion that:

A) Charlie should have TOLD wifey AGES AGO about Scott as Santa AGES AGO and that

B) Had he and wifey had a nice conversation that was drawn out and not, you know, like THAT. Just a bit more mature and heartfelt and communicating their needs to one another, then it would've been LESS anger inducing, and finally

C) Like Charlie being next better and as such, will be going forward in CS Verse canon with Charlie becoming Santa's Legate and after that, the next Santa :)

#dani speaks #dani writes #fanfiction #the santa clause #the santa clause 3 #crystal springs #tsc: cs #i re-watched the first two episodes with ana again tonight and damn. i am really missing the frosty man #santa out here like. using jack's essence? get FUCKED man.#long post #the santa clauses #making this the pinned post so if anyone rolls on here like wtf is an crystal springs #they get the answer immediately lol

New fuckin' Helluva Boss dropped and.

*whistles*

Fuckers gave me so much to pause and read. At least I didn't have to translate runes this time iojpger. But legitimately, the visual storytelling is cool. I did just... sit down after the ep and go on a monologue about how much the texting says about Blitz and Stolas...

Stolas gets a notification on his phone at the very start of the episode [0:22] for a "Deal @ Ozzie's Set" in 3 days. I have mentioned in a previous post (*cough* my only other Helluva post *cough*) that Stolas plans to give Blitz an Asmodean crystal as a substitute for the Grimoire. So, that's probably what the meeting is about, just to get that crystal made so he can give it to Blitz and let the man have his business, no strings attached.

In texts sent directly after the events of Ozzie's [17:24], he tries to reach out and make amends with Blitz for the events of the night:

"You seemed very upset and you took off so fast. But maybe I read too much into that, I'm glad if that's not the case. I wasn't upset either I just wanted to make sure you weren't and obviously you can handle any stupid joke a clown can make. Asmodeus can be very invasive in his humor, but I thought it was pretty funny myself. What he said about me at least, I enjoy being the subject of jest. Maybe you can say mean things to me too next time you come over."

sooo much insecurity. Though he is very worried, he tries not to come across as too clingy or as if he thinks Blitz can't fend for himself. He calls Fizzarolli's mockery "stupid joke[s] a clown can make". If he even remembers Fizzarolli from his childhood (who knows, he didn't seem to pay much attention to him), he would remember that Fizzarolli was more beloved by the audience. Meanwhile, Stolas was the only one who appreciated Blitz's strange humour. By dismissing Fizzarolli's jokes as stupid, he puts Blitz's humour above his more successful counterpart.

He also tries to say that he wasn't upset by the jokes made at his expense to assure Blitz that he's not ashamed of him. But he was upset, just not for the reason that hurt Blitz. He was upset that Ozzie reduced his first somewhat happy relationship to nothing more than a sex thing that tore his family apart.

At the end, there, he tries to cover up his worry by making a sex joke, because emotional weakness is not the norm in their relationship. An honest try, but all the uncertainty would read as insincerity to an outsider.

Stolas has been very anxious about holding Blitz to his part of the deal they made (exchanging sexual favours for the Grimoire each month), and in the texts he scrolls past, he offers to let Blitz keep the book for longer spans of time, even suggesting that he just pickup/dropoff the book with no sexual exchange needed whatsoever.

All the while, Blitz's responses are always curt and misspelled. Either he just has a writing quirk he commits to or he never learned how to spell properly and taught himself to do so phonetically-- which is likely considering his upbringing. Though he could get the resources to learn now, pride might be a motivation for why he hasn't. Either way, his short responses show his unwillingness to meet Stolas' level of vulnerability. Could also be that he's in the middle of killing people.

Oh, also, his "Git bevver swoon :(" is the only instance of Blitz texting Stolas first. Stolas replies first with genuine appreciation ("Thank you Blitz, that means a lot." one of the only times he has called him "Blitz" and not "Blitzy") and then an invitation for him to visit him in the hospital, masked with innuendo ("I might be here a while, if you ever want to visit. ❤️"). Blitz types a message but deletes it, once more unwilling to match Stolas' vulnerability, but also not wanting to humour the innuendo.

Also, words can't describe how disappointed I was that the episode ended on ANOTHER sombre note and not Blitz crashing in through the window. I was so confident that Blitz had stopped typing because he decided to visit Stolas (and, of course, he would choose the window because he couldn't get past the front desk). Ugh. Every single damn episode has been ending on either a threatening or a sombre note, bring back the last-second punchlines for some diversity!!

There's more I could say but that would be straying from the written messages. And none of my followers care about this ijopeg.

Thinking about Xander's Lie again after rereading this essay. I definitely agree that the lack of narrative follow-up it gets is a problem with later seasons, not with Becoming itself.

It would have been nice to have it discussed at some point in Season 3, and there are actually several episodes where it's strange it doesn't come up. I can imagine it being central to (a radically different/better version of) Dead Man's Party for example, or perhaps being talked about in Amends (the latter episode already features Xander apologizing to Buffy for some of his earlier behaviour re:Angel, after all, and it would have only taken a couple of lines of dialogue to cover the Lie as well).

In any event, it should have been a lot more consequential than it was allowed to be. We see Buffy tell Giles and Willow that Willow's spell worked, but we never see her complain about the 'fact' that Willow didn't try to warn her it was coming. That should matter, shouldn't it? On a show that cared more about inter-season continuity, I think it would have mattered.

That said, I think the one callback to the Lie we do get in iater seasons -- in Season 7's Sefless -- is worse than 'insufficient', and I'd have been much happier if it wasn't included there at all.

Mainly because ... well, this is the entirety of the callback:

Buffy: I killed Angel […] I loved him […] and I put a sword through his heart. Because I had to. [...] Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you. Do you remember giving me Willow's message: 'kick his ass'?

Willow: I never said that--

... and that's it. The conversation moves on. We don't ever come back to this. The Lie is never exposed.

The problem I have with this is that, before Selfless, it's possible to just handwave the lack of discussion of the Lie away. Either Buffy didn't actually think about it that much (which is why she never brings it up again), or perhaps it was something that got resolved off-screen. But Sefless makes two things canon:

Buffy did remember it, and it's something she's been dwelling on for years;

Xander has never confessed to the Lie, and Buffy and Willow have never spoken about it before.

While this doesn't contradict anything we've seen on screen, it puts it into focus in a way I'm not sure works very well. Is it really credible that Buffy wouldn't have discussed something like this with her best friend, despite all the times they must have talked about Angel after he came back? Would Buffy really accept without question that Willow would simultaenously work to restore Angel's soul and encourage Buffy to just kill him and not stall for time? If we believe that, then what does that mean for their relationship? Nothing good, I think.

And the show does this for what? For a throwaway reference that none of the characters will ever talk about again. After all, at the end of this episode, Buffy still hasn't found out the truth about the Lie. So what's the point of this exchange? Just to say to the audience "hey, wow, wasn't it weird that we never brought this up before?" How is the episode Selfless improved by this?

#btvs #part of the quote I elided above has Buffy (implicitly) claim she loved Angel more than she's ever loved Dawn‚ which is also very stupid #that isn't at all relevant to my point‚ and yet...

(I...wish that I could agree with that perspective. But Nagito in canon is a pretty shallow asshole. And no offense, since I like the portrayals of the other characters. But his role in this blog reflects that well. He hasn't shown any such depth or good qualities so far. Not to say that I condone the mean-spiritedness from earlier. However, I'm not surprised so many people have gotten fed up with him.)

Yeah, this has something to do with what I meant with how the fandom only really focuses on those smaller parts of Nagito. How depressed he is, the ship, and how "hot" he is. Most people forget or tend to look over how he acted at the end of Chapter 4 and all through 5. That happened, that's another part of his character just like everything else.

Like I said Nagito's not my favorite character, I find him very much overrated and I think realistically, he would be the biggest obstacle towards amending everyone's relationship with each other. No one really liked him ever since he started the killing game essentially and he's been nothing but trifling for the rest throughout the game. That doesn't go away in the blink of an eye(Thanks DR 2.5).

But even so, I want to try and not make Nagito seem so one note just because I don't like him, this applies to Hiyoko too by the way when we get to her. No one is going to immediately forgive and forget what Nagito has done so easily and that's really the point I'm trying to get across here. Nagito can change, but it is going to be an uphill battle. That much is certain.

🔥 + cassius

This is one of those times where people kinda ruin the perception of a character for you to the point that all joy is sucked out. So you numb yourself to said character, because it's not worth investing emotionally anymore.

Very unpopular opinions here, so no tags for my reluctance to deal with stupid drama:

What I am trying to say is that Cassius grew out of hypocrisy and I very much appreciated that and came to like him a lot. I also appreciated the growth he underwent in exile, but...for me, all the joy I used to feel poofed off. I was happy he went to save and sass Darrow, but now it's just...glad you could fucking do something, I guess.

I think Cassius has grown, but that means jack shit if he cannot apply that growth, make amends. Everybody acts like the entire Red Rising Universe owes that man something, for making his own choices and suffering the consequences of said choices.

There is this general opinion that Cassius is better than Darrow. Or should be. At something. Anything. If Darrow gets to have Virginia, Cassius should be the best swordsman, or have the best relationship with Pax or at least WHEN Darrow dies, he should take over. Why? Because Cassius has all the traits of your classic (boring) hero and some people like that type so much that they always want to see him win. At something. Anything. Because they are so used to this type getting everything they want, that it cannot connect that this is not that kind of story.

Well, to break it down a bit, Cassius au Bellona is a crashing car. He keeps making the classical hero choices and gets bitten on the arse for them, because this is not the universe you get to cry about your twin being killed in the Passage when you yourself killed someone and had no problem with it. Because you don't get to raise the heir to a fascist empire in exile and expect him to turn out ok, away from a society for the rest of his life - regardless of how much of a personal sacrifice it is for you as well.

I am not saying that Cassius shouldn't get a happy ending or that he won't. I am also not saying he should change who he is. I am saying that his happiness does not look like you would expect - basically having Darrow's life. I am saying he is responsible for his own choices and that he needs to learn and earn things like trust and friendship and make amends with people he has hurt with his bigotry and lack of awareness.

Yes, you read that right, Cassius is not a complete human being who did no wrong in IG. He should implement some of his growth in his relationships - especially considering he hasn't been around groups of people much.

What Cassius needs and gets from his allienace to the Republic is what he always wanted as a kid - he has a liege to defend and serve, someone worthy, he gets to be a knight, as he always wanted, he gets to protect a status quo worth protecting and bettering. And on top of this he can build a lot of happiness. But it isn't owed to him, by anyone.

I don't know, I am just tired of trying to like this dude, when everyone is shoving him down my throat as somehow better than Darrow, when he isn't. He is different than Darrow and that's the point. Even in couple talks, people make Cassius somehow better than Darrow. That he is so good that Darrow doesn't deserve him and all that bullshit.

Putting aside that the only person that deserves Darrow is Virginia au Augustus, I would actually buy into Da/ssius if it was...genuine, not another way of one-upping Darrow somehow. Darrow has a tendency of putting his beloved on a pedestal, but some of those are not like the other. Some like it for the rivalry aspect (classic trope), which I can appreciate and like, though.

I am fully aware that Darrow said that Cassius is a better man. In Golden Son. When he was at rock bottom emotionally. And his abandoment issues flared up like a fire tornado. Again, not saying Darrow can't consider Cassius a better person, it's just that it shouldn't be used to one-up Darrow, especially when writing a loving relationship.

All of these things really numbed me to Cassius. I don't hate him, I just think that my unfortunate interactions stripped away at my openness.

It's been some time since she's seen him like this. Centuries, really. He was long dead by the time Astoria had come into Baldwin's life, and the legend of the man who killed Dracula was relevant mostly in that it irritated her. She enjoyed hearing it, to be sure, but so did everyone else, and in the days before she began to stake a claim of her own nothing was surer to give her a headache than someone else hearing the story and trying to fall into his bed. The threat, then, was not the man but the family he left behind, the scores of loyal children determined to avenge their father or, at the very least, make the de Clermonts bleed.

There's something in him that awakens only when the dragon stirs. Astoria can hardly blame him; there's no one else to help him carry the weight, now, not as his father had done centuries before. He has her, of course―his left hand, his blade. He knows that there is nothing she wouldn't do for him, no risk she wouldn't take, but she is young, compared to Philippe. So are his children, though Astoria doesn't doubt that Miyako can, will wreak havoc to rival any of her grandfather's.

She rests a hand on his shoulder before she moves around the chair to settle comfortably into his lap. Dracula's scent no doubt lingers on her skin, his prolonged proximity hanging on her like the stench of rotting earth, and she's almost hesitant to bring the smell so close to him. But he could do with her presence, she thinks, her closeness, whatever comfort it might offer, and it's not as though standing away from him will make him any less aware of what happened today. Baldwin's nostrils flare with some agitation, but he winds his arms around her as he always does, keeping her held as near to him as he can.

Five hundred years ago he didn't have her with him when he killed―almost killed, Astoria mentally amends, and not for the first time she wonders if Dracula can die at all. Will her presence be a help or a hindrance? Already she's been used as a messenger, Dracula's threat obvious. Their call with Constanta earlier confirmed what she had suspected, made it clear that this was not the first death from which he returned.

"I know." It's a useless thing to say, but it's the best Astoria has right now. And she'd be a liar if she said she wasn't frightened, too. As if reading her mind (he so often does) Baldwin tightens his arms around her, drops a kiss to her temple. "He made that much clear." She doesn't have an answer to his question, either, and that troubles her more than anything else she's experienced today. (She is not Ysabeau; their minds work differently, always have. She is an assassin, not a general. She is a strategist, not a commander. She has never been sorry for it but right now, she thinks she is.)

One hand settles on his desk, fingers drumming against the wood. The other raises to his face, and she strokes a gentle line along his jaw before she presses a kiss there. "We have more weapons now than we did then," she says finally. "We have witches we can rely upon, but he's always had witches, hasn't he?" But they don't have Philippe. Or Godfrey. Gallowglass and Fernando will help them, as will Ysabeau and Matthew, but Matthew may not allow Diana to step into the line of fire, and the twins are another potential target. Their alliances were strong before, but there's only so much they can rely on Constanta now, if at all. "It may be time to reach out to Domenico again," she says after a beat. "For all his flaws, he's deadly enough."

And then, of course, comes the question of whose blood should be spilled. "Would it do anything to kill Constanta?" she asks softly. She'd be surprised if he hadn't thought of it already, but it needs to be asked. "I can't tell if it'll help or hurt him, to lose her. If she's to be believed, he's killed the other two himself. It might enrage him, or it might be a favor to him."

She pauses, presses another kiss to his jaw, settles against him with a sigh. Some part of her wants to tell him to ignore it all, leave it to someone else to handle, but who? He is the head of the family. As much as he deserves a rest, considering all that Diana and Matthew put him through, she knows there is no one else who could do what they must. And whatever her own fear may be, nothing short of death will take her from his side, or render her inactive.

"I'm sorry I don't have more for you. And I'm sorry he used me to get to you." It's not her fault and she knows it, but the sympathy is real. Even as she softens, she readies herself for war. "Tell me what you need of me, my love, and it's yours."

(It always is.)

#balldwin #i. here's the truth from my red lips. ( answers )#iii. the rest of you (the best of you) belongs to me. ( baldwin x astoria )

To Hell & Back

Part Two: “Lucky for me, your kind of heaven’s been to hell & back”

Summary: You still hate Bucky. But you need him to keep you from going to jail... So, what’s the harm in inviting him over to dinner?

Prompt: “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”

Warnings: Angst?? (i think). Probably typos( which will be fixed). Implied violence.

Pairings: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Part one [In case you missed it]

----

It's Saturday.

Your day off. Well, what used to be your day off until it was turned into a family therapy session.

Well... Not an actual therapy session. It is literally just dinner with your family, including your sister's husband - a man you refuse to identify as your brother in law for reasons that will end in you being called the j-word. The husband, because he's the only son-in-law your parents have, has been dubbed the "referee" of the Saturday Sessions.

Each session, since you've been discharged, has made committing murder seem more and more appealing.

So appealing, that you're standing in front of your neighbour's door with a basket of muffins and a please-keep-me-from-committing-felonies smile.

Bucky, because he just spent the afternoon searching for a new bar, is standing on the other side of the door. Both confused and frightened to see you at his door voluntarily.

"Is there a bomb in that basket?" He asks, eyes roaming over you suspiciously. "Believe me, it's not gonna work."

You blink at him, then at the basket. Then back at him. "Why would I put a bomb in a muffin basket and then hold it?"

He raises a sceptical eyebrow at you.

You huff. "Fine, they're poisoned. I accidentally added laxatives while making them-"

"Accidentally?"

"Yes, accidentally-" you glare at him. "-they're not for you. They're from us."

He blinks at you, confused. You haven't spoken to him, actually spoken to him, for a few months. You avoid him like he has a disease and when your paths do cross, you just glare at him like he threw your cat into on coming traffic.

It's been a few days since the coffee machine incident. He has a brand new one - better than the last one - sitting on his kitchen counter, waiting for him to develop the courage to give it to you. It should be easy. He has mastered the art of making amends.

But... He can't, for some reason, bring it to you.

"Wait-" he frowns, your words finally registering in his head, "-did you just say from us?"

You set the basket down. "So, remember when you broke my one shot at happiness?"

"Oh god." He forgot how dramatic you are, as well.

"Yeah, you can fix that little error by being a doll and-" you pause, then frown, struggling to find the right words.

"Muffin poisoned your tongue?"

"I'm trying to ask you to be my plus one for tonight's dinner-" you grit your teeth, your blood beginning to boil. "-at my parents house."

You didn't look him in the eye when you said that. And by the sounds of it, he doubts this is something he should be going to. Or something you should be going to. Not if it brings out this side of you.

"Who are the muffins for?"

They were for your sister. You broke her nose last week, which was never your intention, and the guilt has been eating you up alive since. The punch was meant for her asshole husband.

"You coming or not?"

"Let me grab a wine and the keys."

"We have muffins. No need to waste your good wine on mediocre tastes."

"I'm bringing the wine."

"If you make us stop to pick out flowers, I will watch porn with the volume on full blast every night for a week."

"Why are you always so violent?"

"So, how bad is it?" Bucky asks.

You've been in the car for a half an hour, because you chose the busiest route and the most congested during rush hour, and that's the first thing either of you have uttered since you politely dragged him out of his apartment.

You shrug. "Three roads lead to this one, so we'll be here another half hour."

"I mean the situation-" he drums his fingers against the wheel. "-you literally chose to be in a car with me, for the longest time possible. Either you want to get there late or you don't want to get there at all."

"Maybe I just like spending time with you."

Bucky scoffs, but doesn't question you further.

The car is silent, aside from the traffic outside, and you could almost relax. For just a moment, you could close your eyes and imagine you're somewhere else.

But you can't. Because you're not. You're on your way to a dinner that shouldn't be happening and is only happening because you're part of your neighbour's redemption list.

Because he just had to have a conscious.

"I punched my sister last week," you mumble.

Bucky wants to laugh. He wants to laugh so badly. He has met your sister, a handful of times - at the hospital, outside your room and outside your apartment door.

Every time she'd come over, she would knock hard enough to make him think she's part of SWAT team. And each time, he would could hear you scramble to switch off all devices that could alert her of your presence inside.

One time, you'd both arrived a few minutes after each other. His door was closer and already open, so you shoved your grocery in his hand and dived into his apartment to hide from your sister. He had to pretend he hasn't seen you since you left for work , and that the packet of sanitary pads that fell out were for his girlfriend.

He didn't have one.

He wants to laugh, because he doesn't like her at all. But he doesn't, because she's your sister. "What did she do?"

"She married an asshole-" you scoff. "-and decided to get in the way and I tried to punch said asshole."

At this, he grins. "And you need me there because?"

"I need you to keep me from trying to kill him," you begrudgingly admit. "I'm too high maintenance for prison."

"How bad is this guy that you need me to help you not kill him?"

"Bad enough that I'm gonna need you to park a few blocks away from the house," you turn to look at him, his confused eyes meeting yours for a quick second. "I told them we're taking the bus."

"Wow."

"Which means we only get to spend less than two hours there, if you drive a little slow-" you pause when he drives passed a McDonald's. "-hey, can we stop and get milkshake?"

He deadpans. "We have dinner plans with your parents."

"I get that you and them might have gotten along since you decided to be a hero," you glare at him. "But they're not as cool as the hospital visits made them seem."

Your parents have invited him over to dinner a handful of times, and each time he had to decline. You and him weren't on the best of terms, and he didn't want to make things worse by showing up for dinner without your knowledge.

He knows, first hand, that a few interactions aren't enough to give the full depth of a person. But he saw how devastated they were, how heartbroken they were, at the sight of tubes and needles sticking out of you.

He doesn't believe, he can't believe, for a second that they're as bad as you say they are.

But he won't argue with you. Not about this. "We'll get milkshake after."

"Hey, remember that coffee machine you br-"

"Oh, fuck you!"

***

You're not a fan of wine. At least, not the wine Bucky brought to the dinner.

An hour into the dinner and you've already had enough glasses to have Bucky worried. The wine is halfway to empty by the time dessert rolls in, and when your sister's husband clears his throat, you abandon the glass and drink straight from the bottle.

The second hour into the dinner is where things got interested. Interesting enough for Bucky to take the bottle from you before you could throw it at someone's head. Mainly because he wanted to throw it at someone's head. Your sister's husband's head to be specific.

Just as your mother gets up to start making tea for the muffins you brought, Bucky is the first on his feet and the first to use the 'we have to get going before we miss the bus' excuse.

You grin at him, vision slightly hazy from the wine you drank on an empty stomach.

"Mhmm," you hum as you cling into him to get to your feet, "the bus. We gotta- the bus. Bah-yeee."

"I'll make sure she gets home safe," he promises to your parents and they believe him.

Hell, you believe him. If there's one thing you can trust your neighbour to do, it's to save your life. But not your coffee machine.

He guides back to the car, which is parked exactly where you told him to, and he's never been happier to have listened to you. You sing all the way back, some ridiculous song about when you're fat and old, and you're the most content he's ever seen you.

Drunk off wine, eyes glassy and smile wide, as you try to mimic his steps. You sigh when you get into your seat, even though you fight him on opening your own door, and fumble lazily with your seat belt until he helps you clip it in.

Your struggle to find a comfortable position, but forget all about that when he parks the car outside your favourite coffee shop. You're out before he can even unclip his seatbelt and you're inside before he makes it to the door.

"Hi," you whisper-yell as you lean against the counter. "Pssst. Hi. Hello."

The barista blinks at you. Bucky cuts in before he can get a word out. "We'll take coffee. Filter. And anything that's bread-"

"-don't listen to him, he breaks hearts for a living. Sometimes he rips them out." I jab your pointer finger against the countertop. "I will take the strongest coffee you've got. I'm in the mood for bad decisions and-"

"We'll be at the booth, in the back." Bucky gently pries you from the counter. "One coffee and two bottles of water-"

You try to smack his hands away. "Why must you be so- Barnes, I swear to god, I will take your parking space."

He shoves you into the booth, then takes a seat opposite you. You attempt to make a break for the counter, but the glare he fixes you with is enough to keep you in your place.

It should scare you. The look he gives you. You know what he is capable of, without mad scientists to control him, you know the damage he's done. It takes a special kind of strength to face people like the flag smashers, and a special kind of crazy to go after them.

Bucky is both. And yet, his glare doesn't scare you. So much so, that you return it.

"I hate your brother-in-law-"

"Sister's husband," you cut in to correct him. "I refuse to recognise him as my anything."

He nods. "Right. So, let me get this straight-"

Bucky pauses as the barista sets down the coffee, the water, two croissants, some breadsticks and a garlic roll. When he's satisfied that there's nothing else, he leaves you alone with Bucky and the breads.

"You got work tomorrow-" he puts sugar into your coffee and stirs, before handing it to you. "-so you're gonna need to eat as much, so that it absorbs all that wine."

You glare at him but still do as he says. He's right and you'd rather sulk than admit it.

"So," he clears his throat to get your attention. "Your sister is an asshole, that married an asshole. And your parents are enablers of all that bullshit?"

You nod, practically shoving the garlic bread into your mouth. You didn't touch the food your mother cooked and, other than that milkshake Bucky bought you, you haven't had anything to eat all day.

"Instead of just sending you to therapy-" he scrunches his face in disgust at the thought. "-I can't fucking believe I'm advocating for that, but instead of paying for therapy. They do that? Host a dinner, sit a circle and kumbaya the problems away?"

Taking a sip from your coffee, you continue to nod. "Is it helping?"

He frowns, meeting your eyes. "What?"

"The mandated sessions-"you swallow. "-I heard you and Wings talking about it."

Thin walls. Shared balconies. Despite not being in each other's life, both of you know more than enough because of your apartments.

Your balcony and his are separated by a small barrier, but you can still hear his conversations - and visa versa- if you leave your glass door open enough when he's out there.

The wall that separates your apartment is thin enough for him to pick up on your habits. You don't think you're a creature of habit, but he would disagree.

He can tell, just from your foot steps, what you're going to watch or do in the living room. From the little sounds you make, he can tell which series you're binge watching for the umpteenth time and which one is on just for background noise.

If you weren't a creature of habit, he wouldn't have found you in time. You wouldn't be sitting in front of him, asking about his wellbeing, instead of dealing with yours.

"Wings is Captain now," he corrects, and you accept the deflection.

You would never overstep, or push. Not with him. Never with him.

"If Captain, why Wings?"

Narrowing his eyes, he pushes the bread sticks closer to you. "Fine, Captain Wings."

Again, you obey the silent instruction.

"Where were we-"

"We were plotting an asshole's abduction," you tell him, "and then dropping him off at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. If that's not available, then maybe near Dyer Island."

He raises an eyebrow at you. “Why would we drop your sister’s husband on an Island?”

"It's a place, with a shitload of great white sharks."

"And you know this because?"

"I like to always be prepared."

"For what?" His brows furrow. "Do you just know random places to dump people that–"

You cut in. "–will lead to an inevitable death by natural causes? Yes."

He stares at you. Actually stares. Openly, at you. He can't remember the last time he did that, looked at you, for no other reason than to just look.

You didn't always hate him. When he first moved into your apartment building, and the landlord introduced you too, you were indifferent. He didn't think you knew who he was, most people don't at first glance, so he was relieved. Indifference was definitely better than everything else.

That was until you walked passed him and Sam in the lobby of the building, a week after he moved in.

"Sarge–" you nodded at him, as you checked your mail. Then nodded at Sam as you made your way out of the building. "–Wings."

You knew, you always knew who he was, and just didn't care. That was refreshing, to say the least.

The hate only came that night, or the following morning, he wasn't sure. All Bucky knows is, he meddled, and now you hate him for it. For saving you.

He's tried to talk to you about it. Countless of times, he's tried, and each time you hate him a little bit more. Or so it seems.

He wants to talk about it now. It's obvious in the way he's looking at you, like he can't believe you're here, in front of him. You can't either, but you won't ever admit that to him.

Hell would sooner freeze over before you actually admitted that maybe, just maybe, he should have meddled sooner.

You won't. So, instead, you put down the bread stick and sit back. "I know a really cool coffee place... If you still need a new place to hang."

It's an olive branch. You don't ever say what you really mean, he knows that, and he smiles at that little fact. That he knows that, he knows you.

"Is the barista as dramatic as I hear?"

"Only to strangers that break down her doors," you shrug. "Oh, and guys who break her coffee machine–"

"You're never gonna let that go, are you?"

You grin. Because you're just as petty as he is.

okay but on a scale from 1-10 and you can't duplicate ratings, rate each au/verse gin in terms of how hot rangiku finds him READY GO

canon/divergent verses: lieutenant, captain, arrancar arc, redemption, dad!gin

aus: reborn, vamp, hitman, inari, I DON'T HAVE A 10TH VERSE OR AU but this means no one can be forcibly rated at a 1 SO HAH --

I HATE THAT I CAN'T DUPLICATE RATINGS THIS ISN'T FAIR!?!?!? HOW DARE YOU LOL --- ALRIGHT FINE I'll attempt to answer this 😤😤

----------------------

Vamp!Verse: 10/10 -- Gin is a total fucking baddie, his flirting game has GOT to be the strongest here out of any other verse. Not to mention Rangiku is actively KILLING HIS KIND and she's supposed to want him dead, but like ..... have you seen him??? Have you looked into his weird inhuman and utterly captivating eyes?? Rangiku wants to be destroyed by vamp!Gin in the kinkiest of ways sorry not sorry. I think this verse is the only exception to the rule I'm establishing with this list ( aka Rangiku finds Gin most attractive when they have a solid foundation and she knows she can trust him )

Redemption!Verse: 9/10 -- by the time the winter war is over and Gin tells her the truth and he gets reinstated and has to live day in and day out with what he's done / is actively trying to make amends, their relationship is finally back on solid ground and has a stronger foundation than ever before. There's no shaking their bond after everything they've been through; the stability that their relationship now offers is a total fucking turn on. Feeling safe and secure??? Finally knowing the truth, and being able to fully heal from those old wounds??? What's NOT to love about that!?

Dad!Gin: 8/10 -- I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN'T DUPLICATE RATINGS I'M SO MAD LOL this one's right up there with Redemption verse, especially since they kinda bleed together further down the timeline. Seeing his eyes light up when he's bonding with Keiko and enjoying fatherhood is just... chef kiss. Seeing Gin HAPPY and thriving is a turn on, in and of itself ---- especially after everything he's been through. And seeing how well he takes care of their daughter just makes Rangiku's heart all warm and happy.

Hitman!Verse: 7/10 -- SHE'S STILL WARMING UP TO HIM IN THIS VERSE but again, have you seen him??? She's not a big fan of guns in hitman verse so I have to dock points for that but Gin also looks sexy WITH his guns all strapped to his body so there's a bit of a DILEMMA going on here lmfao ( plus she hasn't seen him shirtless yet so this number is BOUND to go up once things get spicy uwu )

Gin (Captain/Pre-Betrayal): 6/10 -- LISTEN Rangiku is head over fucking heels and wants Gin to RAW HER every time they are around one another but he's a goddamn VANISHING ACT ( which just makes her want him more lbr-- )

Gin (Lieutenant): 5/10 -- AGAIN I HATE THAT I CAN'T DUPLICATE RATINGS because this would be WELL up there!!! Cocky arrogant Lieutenant!Gin is Rangiku's sexual awakening okay it's when she realizes how fucking hot he is and SHE KNOWS that he knows it and it drives her absolutely bonkers but she wouldn't change a single thing. They're having a good time, breaking rules and being young / wild -- Gin excites her and pulls her away from any and all worries she might have while climbing the Gotei ladder and finding her footing in the 10th Division. Rangiku wears a neck scarf around this part of the timeline ( and well into her time as a 3rd seat ) bc she's hiding hickeys LET'S BE REAL HERE LOL

Gin (Second in Command/Las Noches): 4/10 -- I'M REALLY JUST DESCRIBING THE CANON DIVERGENT VERSE WHERE RANGIKU INVADES HUECO MUNDO WITH HER SHINIGAMI PALS HERE BUT holy shit Rangiku is SO SO MAD AT GIN but she's also missed him and the way his body feels against hers and for the love of FUCK she's fallen for a bad guy and she fucking hates herself for it but does she still find him hot??? Of fucking COURSE--

Reborn!Gin: 3/10 -- THIS ONE'S HARD because he's been reborn and he's not HER Gin anymore, but he's still Gin ... and she's trying to come to terms with that. So while she still finds him attractive, it's ---- DIFFERENT, in this verse. I think her love for his very soul overpowers anything else, here. Instead of wanting him in a sexual / physical nature, her desire for him to be okay and happy overpowers everything else.

Inari!Gin: 2/10 -- SADLY I HAVE THE LEAST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VERSION OF GIN which is my fault because I haven't properly developed and/or written Rangiku in this universe so I'm giving him the lowest rating WHICH HONESTLY UPSETS ME BECAUSE IF HE LOOKS ANYTHING LIKE THE BBS DEMON!GIN THEN HE SHOULD BE ALL THE WAY UP AT A 9 OR A 10/10 BUT WHATEVER LOL

#LISTEN im starting my day off answering this first and foremost DON'T @ ME hvkjdshkjvs #ask ; answered.#godkilller

mysterious house

Summary: Here is my entry for @autumnleaves1991-blog's writing challenge. combined with my favorite show charmed( original) with star wars. poe comes to visit a friend. then finds something mysterious about her. hope the fans of charmed like this. for the ones that never seen it? you will love it.

Losing a loved one is never easy for some. No matter if it was from cancer, accident or violent act. The Organa family has been through so much in the last few years. Melinda Organa lost her brother, Ben, her father,and uncle. Now her mother, leia.now she is the only one left not counting your baby sister Rey. Hard for her to shed any tears. All she did was smile through her pain.

After the funeral. Guests come to her Victorian house. Which belonged to her family. Full of history and mystery. Police have been hounding her for the cause of her familys' deaths. If she tells them the truth? They would put her in a padded cell.

Poe Dameron drives up to the house. Look at it. In his mind it hasn't changed since he used to come by to visit Melinda. Last time was when she went away to college. Found out she came back when there was a family situation that caused her to move back home. Forced to leave toher dream job. Working at an auction house. Now she works at a museum. All he wanted was comfort his friend. That is what she needs.

Going inside sees a few familiar faces. Finn for one. Even Rey. Went over to chat with them. Asked about Melinda. All they could say was that you were in no mood to talk. Just wanted to be left alone. Heeding their advice. Go to the dining room. Sees Melinda sitting alone. Staring off in space. Didn't acknowledge anyone being in the room. Or the feel of Poe's large hand on her shoulder caused her to freak out! Meaning she almost used her special gift on him. Instead she turned around," are you dumb or just plain stupid! Want to be alone! Did Fin and Rey tell you that! That includes you. " kneeling in front of her. Take her hand," look I'm sorry for not being able to come sooner. Was hard to find a pilot to switch flights with. I'm here as long as you need me. I know I haven't been a good friend to you mel. I'm here now. To help you." She sighs," what could you have done huh! Tell me what ! I'm crazy! Saying my mom died from something no one could ever explain to anyone else! Sorry dameron. I don't need your sympathy." Pushes him aside when she goes upstairs.

Watching her go. Then sits down in the chair she was sitting on. Moans," damn, how am I supposed to help her?" For a moment he felt like someone was there. Thought it was nothing. So he got up to get his bag from the car.

Rey goes upstairs to comfort her sister," mel,that was rude of you to yell at Poe! He is here for you! This is your chance to make amends. He loves you! You love him even though he doesn't know…" she finishes the sentence," that we are witches. Our family got killed by demons from the first order. Oh added that we are the charmed ones! Minus 1! Sorry, I'm not in a forgiving mood." She tried to tell her about Poe staying with them before she left the room.

Late that night. Poe woke up to the sounds of footsteps. Opening the door. No one was there. Closing the door. Heard it again. Thinking it was just the normal thing since the house is very old. Now he couldn't get back to sleep. He got up to explore the house. He was not alone. Rey got out of her room," why are up? " poe whispers," heard footsteps thought someone is in the house. This house gives me the heevy jeeves. " she laughs," come on scary cat.let's investigate."

Two of them walked down the hall then heard the footsteps behind them. Caused them to turn around.no one. Both of them start to freak out. Both of them went to wake Melinda. She moans," what? I need some sleep! Can't this wait till morning! " poe sighs," no it can't! Someone else might be in the house. Need to find out what is going on!" In a huff. She gets out of bed," oh you two fucking babies there is no one in this house. Let me say this. If we find out there is no one here. Two of you are to leave me alone till morning. Got it?" Both of them look at her,and nod three of them leave her room to track down the mysterious footsteps.

Melinda starts to believe Rey and Poe. Melinda hears them too. You are a more logical person than your sister. Trying to figure out where the sound is coming from. Suddenly hear a door creaking down stairs. Three of you reached the stairwell to see a light coming from the dining room. Funny there is no door. Quietly approaching the room. Trying to find the door. All off you feeling around the walls, and even the bookcase. Poe found a book that was leaning in a weird position. Pull the book. Bingo! It opens. Poe leads the girls down a series of stairs. Leads to what looks like a basement. Melinda froze. Rey felt her tense up," what is it? Looks like you just saw a ghost." Looking ahead is what they saw. Lost loves standing before them. Well one of them. Melinda froze," Ben? How? Thought you were dead! What is going on?" He laughs," my dear sisters had no clue what was going on. Powerful witches as yourselves couldn't figure out what was going on." Poe looks at the girls. Did he hear him right? Melinda and Rey are witches? Ben circles them," oh it was so much fun to watch you two grieve over our family. Being killed by my new family. Love the power I have! No one could stop me from killing you all.! Then I can take over the nexus!" Melinda flicked her hand. Caused Ben to hit the wall. Ben's hands glow like lightning. Ready to throw the lighting at Melinda is when Rey yells," energy ball!" Throws it at her brother. Which it almost weakens him. Poe wants to help. Rushed towards ben. Until he was pushed back into a wall knocking him out. Melinda rushed over to him. Sees he is knocked out. Reaching for Rey's hand. Both of them chant a spell that caused him to shake violently,and disappear. Both of them cried. Until orbs of light appeared to them. See, it was leia. Reaching for them," oh my daughters. Thank you for defeating kylo. Yes, he appears as your brother but he was gone before I knew it was going on. Melinda,it is time to let go over your anger for what Poe did. He cares about you so much.That is why he is here. Oh,my young rey. Time for you to do what you dream about. Bless it be my darlings" Leia disappears. Melinda tends to poe. He wakes up,``Mel,are you okay?" Helping him up. Melinda clears her throat," wanna tell you I'm sorry for being a bitch to you. You are too sweet to be treated like that. If you like? We could start over? Clean slate." Poe cups her cheeks,and kisses her lips.

Melinda told Poe not to tell anyone what he saw. Now he knows their secret and he wants to protect them, especially Melinda. Soon they leave the room. Orbs of light appeared to Poe. A man appears before him. He spoke," well done, now you know the truth, now it's time for you to fulfill your destiny as a witch. Leia knew of your secret,but soon the others would know as well. So go and be with Melinda. Bless it be" soon the man disappeared leaving poe by himself in front of the door. With a wave of his hand . The door shuts. Power of three is back.

Another Rant Regarding The Owl House (not really a rant, more like an idea)

Alright, here's more or less a theory for an episode (because it's past midnight and I come up with stupid stuff in the dead of night) that could possibly take place in season 2, I dunno.

I had assumed Lilith's reason for cursing Eda was a lot more complex than a simple childhood mistake. Okay, not simple, but I was expecting like a ritual gone wrong...not Lily being a total idiot and picking the first shady scroll she saw and thought it legit. (Then again, said idiot witch almost killed herself with a tree) Still, what she did was wrong and she has to make up for it and everything else before she's fully redeemed.

So in the middle of the night, my brain decided to ask, "What would be the most complex redemption for this character (Lilith)?"

To which I answered, "I have an idea, but it's complicated and probably won't happen. Mainly because I know nothing about how to do a successful redemption."

SO HERE'S MY IDEA.

It's very far fetched, but Imma go for it, and if it's incorrect on all levels...well at least it was fun to write down.

I feel like this idea would take place in a point in time where Lilith has started repairing her damaged bonds. She's been living at the Owl House long enough to see the family dynamic Luz, King, and Eda have. However, the only person she has a decent relationship with is King, as despite what she did to the other two, they've never had a bad interaction and he did save her from Eda's wrath when they were all going to be Petrified. Luz still sends her uncertain looks filled with distrust, but they're not as common as they were in the first few days. Eda, however, only has two moods when it comes to her sister. It's either pretending she isn't there or total passive aggressiveness and no in-between. So Lilith has been walking on thin ice and hasn't really done much to address the inner problems she's ignored completely.

I have reason to believe there is some sort of magical creature on the Boiling Isles that has an ability like a mythological siren. Where they draw you in with promises of happiness, and kill you when they have you hooked.

Considering Lilith is probably drowning in her own guilt, these creatures see a total gold mine with her and decide to try their luck. After all, those not in a postive state of mind are eaiser prey for them to lure in. Here's the thing though, these creatures transport the victim into one moment of their life they wish to change as a test. You pass, you go free...you fail...well, rest in pieces.

So Lilith is captured easily (hardly any magic for one thing), and they put her through the test.

She's sent to the moment when she went to the Night Market and bought the curse that would tear her and Eda apart. Of course, her first reaction is to prevent her younger self from doing such a terrible act. HOWEVER, she is stopped before she can, due to one of the creatures appearing to her with a scroll in hand. They give it to Lilith and tell her that the scroll they have is the curse her younger self will buy. By not placing the curse in the box, younger Lilith will be prevented from buying the curse with help from outside forces.

The creatures tell her that by interfering, Lilith can fix everything she had been trying to make amends for since she cursed her sister.

She sees a completely different life flash before her. One where, after Eda decides not to fight her for a spot in the coven, there is no Owl Beast. Lilith gets the spot and her dream comes true. She sees a life where the two of them continue to be best friends, and a constant in each others life. She sees the two of them attending their last Grom night ever, while Eda is busy setting off pranks in the gym and enjoying herself without the curse looming over her. Eda is there when Lilith graduates from Hexside and in return, Lilith does the same only a few years later. Her younger sister is there to see her off when she moves out, and says they'll see each other later. Lilith sees a future where the two of them are adults and Eda's hair is as bright and youthful as she is and shows no sign of rapid aging. They're hanging out, and there is no motive to spend time together. Just two sisters enjoying each other's company. It's everything Lilith ever wanted...including one small detail. In this possible outcome, Eda joined The Emperor's Coven. She renounced her wild ways and joined her sister like they talked about when they were kids.

Lilith then asks uneasily what happens if she lets the curse go into the box. They tell her that the events will turn out the same leading up to this moment in time.

Now she's left with a choice that would alter her life as well as Eda's and only has ten seconds to decide before the younger Lilith will walk over and find the curse.

Surprisingly, she's hesitant. A solution to her problem is right in front of her and she's debating if she should take it. Of course, she's cautious after what happened with The Emperor, but her hesitation is for another reason.

She has less than five seconds, but she's come to a decision that she's uncertain about. Suddenly, another thing appears in her hand, the one that isn't holding the scroll. A picture of her and Eda side-by-side working together in the coven. Lilith's eyes widen, and her mind and heart are in agreement with her choice.

There's a sigh from the witch and she mumbles, "Forgive me, Edalyn," before she cements her decision.

She wakes up to her sister forcefully shaking her awake with Luz and King at her side. She's confused, of course, because they couldn't have found her so easily. Eda, understandably freaked out and concerned, (yes, she has a rocky relationship with her sister, but if anything is going to knock Lily's lights out, it's going to be her.) is demanding what she just witnessed. Apparently a bunch of creatures literally faded out of existence and dropped Lilith onto the floor like a rag doll. Lilith, who is still processing her reality as well as the previous moments, says nothing and stares at the ground. There's still some guilt, but not as much as before.

Her choice was actually easy to make.

In the alternate outcome, where Eda isn't cursed, Lilith realized there was something missing...the Owl House. Along with the fact Eda doesn't have a fluffy demon or a human kid. (Because why would she if she's working in the coven? She only picked up Luz because of her portal to the human world which was only used for dumpster diving.)

She remembers how Eda's protégé was so adamant about getting her mentor back. How her sister sacrificed the remains of her power for this child she's barely known a month.

It hits her hard, but she notices that Eda is happy now...and Lilith would be a monster to take that away from her sister.

The reason she was so hesitant was because she wasn't sure if letting Eda suffer through all those long years was something she could allow herself to do...but she did, and she feels bad about it. She couldn't save Eda from the curse. Yet, she reminds herself there is another way to fix what's broken. After all, she managed to sacrifice her own wants for once.

There's a lot of mixed emotions in her head, and it all stops when Lilith feels herself being pulled up to her feet and Eda scoffs, (although the concern is still there) "let's go home."

The ending is a bit messy, not gonna lie. But it isn't like Lilith choosing not to let herself buy the curse was going to have an effect on reality. She would've died, if that was the case. I'm not saying letting Lilith curse her sister was a good thing, just trying to write out an idea where Lily has to pick between what she wants and reality.

I think that would be her starting point. Realizing her own wants and expectations weren't realistic. She wasn't going to have the relationship she wanted with Eda if she was trying fix everything at the expense of others (Luz) and Eda herself. I feel once she gets pass that she'll be able to take life for what is and how she can fit into it.

Part of this idea was really just another thing of Lilith being able to realize that her definition of happiness isn't what would make her sister happy. I feel like she just doesn't grasp yet what Eda has with Luz and King and that's why she was so adamant about the "real family" bullcrap. Possibly because she doesn't have close relationships. I mean, I've joked about her being Amity's goth mom, but to be honest the two have interacted like once or twice in the first season. And I'm sure she didn't get to socialize much being the right hand of a tyrant, because when you're second in-command you more or less marry your work. The Emperor doesn't strike me as one who would encourage relationships, especially if they can distract from his wants, so I'm sure he was pleased at Lilith's lack of attachments to others. But I'm sure once she does realize that family isn't just the people you share blood with, it will be easier for her to grow.

Lovely tag : whitey winn

A - Affection [How affectionate are they with you?]

Whitey Winn is rather affection but at specific times, in the office he'll barely give you anything but in bed he'll wrap you up in his arms and never let you go giving you a million kisses a minute. Even if he does like holding your hand and waist most of the time and whispering in your ear how much he loves you.

B - Butter [How much do they coddle you, and how?]

Ohhh you where coddled worse then ever! Your father had always been protective of course as your his own little girl and his only child before your mother died so being protected was just something you where used to. However when you and whitey got together you assumed it would stop that he'd let you be more independent but ohh no you where mistaken Whitey's worse then your father ever was, he was extremely protective of you holding you on his arm, sitting behind you on your horse, barely letting you out after dark unless he was with you.

And it somehow got even worse when you got married, and even more so once you got pregnant. At that point he would even let you pick up spoons for yourself.

C - Confide [How easily do they confide to you?]

He's pretty open as far as confiding goes he was very happy to tell you things as soon as you two started courting he liked telling you things and he loves listening to you tell him to.

D - Defensive [How protective are they over you?]

Super protective! Another man looks at you Whitey's growling like a wild dog pushing you behind him or into his side. One of the mine security men tried to hit on you one evening and honestly your surprised whitey didn't kill him but it was a close call if maggie hadn't have stopped the fight you think that boy would have been dead. Not to mention the time one visiting boy pinched your bottom thought your dress and by the time you had squealed and turned around the boy was knocked out in the dust and you where tight to Whitey's chest. But you know it's just what he's like and that he's just trying to help so you'll give him a little reward later after dark.

E - Exhausted [How do they take care of you when you're tired or feeling low?]

He'll spot your tried or upset from a mile away he'll find someplace cosy and sit you across his lap, and make you tell him all about it he'll play with your hair and stroke your skin while you explain nodding and agreeing at moments he needs too and once it's all explained he'll pulling you to rest your head on his shoulder and chest and let you rest till your better.

F - Fluffy [How sappily sweet can they get?]

He can be a very sappy boy, giving you flowers, giving you cuddles telling you he loves you a hundred times a day

G - Game [How much do they play around, and are they a tease?]

He's not much for teasing or playing around he'd rather just be sweet to you.

H - Happy [What's their favourite thing to do with you, that makes them happy?]

Cuddle! Or go out riding he loves sitting behind you his arms around you to hold the rains of the horse as you go off on little adventures together.

I - Initiate [Do they make the first move?]

Depends, if it's a cuddle then one hundred percent whitey is asking and moving first, but other stuff like kissing and so on its almost always you. Even after your married with children you still have to make a first move to give him a kiss or hold his hand and each normally make him go bright red

J - Jealousy [How jealous can they get and how do they show it?]

He gets super jealous. Luckily labelle doesn't have alot of men and the ones who are in labelle are mostly older men who barely do much of anything so he didn't need to worry much about you, but when those young dirty mining security men came whitey was not happy as at times it seemed almost like the intentional picked on you to wind whitey up and make him do something so they could lock him in the cells. He gets defensive, violent, he'll do anything do defend you even if it means he gets in trouble for doing it because your his girl and knowone is going to hurt you or take you away from him not while he breaths.

L - Love [How do they react to you giving them affection?]

Blush!! He blushed when you kiss him, when you hold his hand he just always has blush in those dirty cheeks. But he loves when you give him affection he just wishes it wasn't so obvious how much he liked it.

M - Married [What's it like to be married to them?]

Amazing, he always cuddles and kisses you once he's home from work, compliments atleast three times a day, and cuddles and sleeps beside you every single night he's not at work.

N - Newborn [How are they with having kids, and how would they be as a parent?]

He got so excited when you told him you where pregnant, but he wouldn't let you do anything for yourself he was going to care for your every single need until baby came. And as soon as it did you saw him smile wider then you had ever seen before he was so happy to be a daddy and he was an amazing one. He loves all your children so very much and takes such good care of them even if he does spoil them a little bit mostly because your first child was a boy and whitey was ecstatic! Having little whitey jr so he kinda spoilt him rotten. But then soon enough when little addison came he had to spoil her too so it was fair. And then elijha came so he had to spoil the boys as much as the girls and so on and so on spoiling all your children rather alot. Even if you keep saying when you have a baby in the house that you won't have anymore children after this and yet it keeps on happening. Even if you think whitey secretly really wants more children, you have said you draw the line at five but with your current tummy thats already out the window.

O - Outdoors [How are they with you in public?]

Defense and sweet, he likes holding onto you but other then that he's okay he doesn't much like kissing you or anything outside because that's privet stuff even if... Maybe the office is privet enough for a snuggle or two.

P - Propose [How would they propose, and when would that be?]

It was nervous. He barely got thought it without stuttering. Almost all of labelle came out to watch which probably didn't help as whitey let it slip to bill in the office that he was going to do it so bill told maggie and of course within an hour the whole dam down new except you. He of course had asked your father's permission first and once he had that he got you as many flowers as he could and asked you in the middle of town in front of everyone.

Q - Quarrel [How are they after a fight, and will they try to make amends right after?]

You've never been in a fight with whitey, he's too sweet, the moment your upset about something he cuddles you holds you hands and let's you explain all about it and how he can make it all better. I don't think it's actually possible to get into a fight with him over anything you can try and tell at him and he'll just stand there politely and nod agreeing with you and discusses ways he can improve and how he can help. "Of course, your right darlin' I'm sorry. I'll remember next time"

R - Romantic [How much of a hopeless romantic are they, and how do they show it?]

He is rather a hopeless romantic, he always brings you flowers after a long day of work and tells you he loves you almost constantly.

S - Snuggles [Do they like to cuddle, and how do they do it?]

Whitey loves to cuddle he almost always starts a cuddle or asks for a cuddle he adores cuddling with you, he moves just wrapping his arms around you having you engulfed in him, usually both arms around you, Maybe a leg around you too with your head nuzzled into him so you have no escape from his love.

T - Touchy [How touch starved are they, and would they show it?]

He was so touch straved when you where first together you could poke him and he'd have a heart attack, but even when he's been in the office a few nights or just hasn't seen you all that much he gets a little desperate for kisses for touching for anything you'll give him. You can tell he's getting touch starved because he'll bite on his mouth alot more and you can see it in how his eyes lingure and move much slower.

U - Urchin [What's one negative trait about them that hurts you?]

That he can be a little too accommodating t the ladies in town, you understand that Whitey Winn is the deputy of La Belle a town almost all of the women have lost their husbands but you get rather jealous when you see the women going to the office to try and bring him things in the office, he never flirts or anything you just get a little worried sometimes

V - Vibe [What energy do they give off when you're with them?]

he gives off the energy of being very cocky and strong but also very sweet like sugar, he is so blushy with you its a rarity he gets though a sentence with you before he's blushing and stuttering

W- Wedding [What are they like at their wedding?]

a mess, He cried so much when you got married, he was so happy, so excited and so thrilled your father finally allowed you two to get married, you met him in the half-finished church and half of Labelle showed up mostly all the women to see you and whitey get married and they spoilt you with presents of baked goods and wine for you, and bill spoilt you giving whitey a week off for you two's honeymoon

X - Xtreme [What lengths would they go to for you?]

He's do anything for you, anything you asked just to see you smile, back before your father found out about whitey courting you he used to ride out to the river with you just for dates even if it took about half an hour to get from his house to your spot, but he still did it every day after work.

Y - Yogurt [What's their ideal place for a date?]

A little ride out to the river, sitting down by the edge with maybe a little picnic of maybe some beer and pie, maybe a little cuddle if it gets too cold out as the sky gets dark and you can sit and stargaze together maybe He'll wrap his jacket around your shoulder if you get too cold and maybe if he's lucky he might get a kiss at your door when he walks you back to your door Before your curfew of course so he doesn't get yelled at by your father.

Z - Zipper [What clothes do they like seeing you in?]

he loves seeing you in your underdress when you don't bother to really get dressed he thinks you look sweetest that way.
