guitar practice 4

summary: sad excuse for a plot thickens and wednesday pays you an untimely visit

warnings: swearing, wednesday level affection

a/n: some flashbacks and we get to see rs abilities sorry i took a while to get this out lol been enjoying summer, gonna post some drabbles soon hopefully, any ideas or requests greatly appreciated also let me know if you wanna be added to the taglist it wouldn’t let me tag some people so if i didn’t tag you im sorry, happy reading!-🦷

———————————————————————

you wake with a start sitting up sweat sticking your (y/h/c) to your forehead, turning to your bedside table you pick up your phone and check the time 2:44am the clock reads, you groan. looking over at the other side of your dorm yoko is snoring softly, no practicing in here then.

letting out a content sigh you push open the door to your studio letting the familiar scenery put you at ease, the “studio” was actually just a room tucked into the far corner of nevermore academy’s many winding hallways, the walls covered in your spray paint cans covering the shelf’s a small sofa big enough to seat 3 sat dejectedly in the corner your amp next to it a line of mirrors on the left side that opened up to closet space that you still hadn’t found a use for.

you throw yourself onto the sofa pressing your palms to your eyes it’s starting again his voice rings clear in your mind, “yes, yes i can see that” you mutter pressing into your eyes more.

the nightmares always got worse near parents weekend, the buzz of all the students making your heart thrum in your chest, your palms sweat in class and he seems to follow you everywhere, hovering over your shoulder voice penetrating your mind, usually you could swipe him away his body dissipating into the air leaving you in peace y/n “callum, stop.” you all but whined but it was too late.

you know i don’t blame you

that’s all it took for the memories you had tried so desperately to push down to rush back leaving deep gashes as they claw steadily to the front of your mind.

“your a monster” your mother screamed chocking on her tears no. bright blue and red flashes danced off the walls as the body bag was thrown into the back of the ambulance stop no. you grab at your chest as your breathing comes out in ragged gasps fire spreading from your fingertips to your elbows you close your eyes focusing on your breathing like your therapist (dr kimbot) had taught you, eventually your breathing evened out and you cracked open your eyes looking at the charred remains of your sleep shirt, you frown that’s the 3rd time this week and it’s only wednesday, oh, wednesday.

you shake your head clearing the name from your mind, you pick up one of your many guitars this being one of your favourite acoustics, your dad had made it for you when you were 12 you rub your fingers over the engraving “to my daughter the love and light of my life don’t ever give up- pa” you smile sadly strumming to ensure it was still in tune you quickly lose yourself in the music.

a familiar chord progression slips from your fingers and you freeze realising what you’d played the memories flashing through your mind

“nes” you giggled at the girl’s unimpressed expression “baby it’s not that hard” she swats your hand away from hers that’s resting on the body of your guitar, she frowns nimble fingers struggling to stretch into the correct position for the chord you where currently trying to teach her, you lean back and observe the girl the light from the rising sun was casting her in a golden glow her brown eyes twinkling when she finally sounded out the chord “told you it wasn’t hard” she hummed eyes coming to meet yours “sometimes i dream about dissecting you, i imagine there’s fire flowing through your veins” the ghost of a smile on her lips at the thought, you snort “your morbid wednesday” “i want our remains to be burned together” she says completely ignoring your last statement “romantic” you quip back a smile on your lips, she stands “come cara mia i have a surprise for you” she doesn’t wait for you as she steps back through the window into her dorm

your crying?

the comment snaps you out of your mind you reach up and feel your cheeks are wet “i guess i am” go on tell your big brother you watch as his form jumps over the back of the sofa landing with a soft thud his toothy grin putting you at ease “im older than you now” i still age when im dead y/n, don’t take that from me.

you chuckle at how serious he’s being “yes sir” you mock salute him giggling as he pulls his lips into a thin line still waiting for an answer to his previous question, you wait for a second knowing your not going to be able to avoid this one you take a deep breath readying yourself “im scared to see mum again cal, and wednesday won’t stop starting at me and enid and i don’t even know what me and enid are and i miss you and i hate being an outcast” you rush out all in one breath then in a much smaller voice you add “and i hate that i see dead people, i hate that all i do is destroy things and the more i feel the more i lose control, god i’ve set so much on fire recently” you sink back into the chair feeling deflated.

he leans forward your not cruel y/n, your damaged, damaged goods are still good.

you say nothing letting his words wash over you, you push yourself up off the sofa checking your phone 5am blinks back at you and you take your dnd off watching the plethora of messages, mainly from enid pour through

3:24am

(enid❤️): y/n you ok? yoko said your not in your bed?

(enid❤️): your worrying me bby

4:50am

(enid❤️): y/n i’ve given you as much space as i can, please answer your phone.

4:55am

(yoko🧛‍♀️): told enid your probs in your studio good luck and god speed my friend

you giggle at that last message shooting a quick one back before focusing back on enid’s chat

(y/n): don’t wait up for me

you smile as yet another message comes through from enid

(enid❤️): ur lights on can i come in? x

(y/n): come in enid, the doors always unlocked for you x

you slip your phone into your back pocket as the door opens and closes you turn back to the sofa a hollow feeling in your chest as you realise callum’s given you and enid space, she gasps when she sees you “you’ve been crying” you hum too tired to reply and she puts her hands on your forearms taking in your burned t “the nightmares have started haven’t they?” you nod pulling her with you to the sofa and pulling her into your lap arms tight around her waist her hands come up to massage your scalp kissing your head.

your not sure when you fell asleep but you wake up sprawled out over enid her arms around you in a protective manner, you yawn and suddenly an icy feeling makes it’s way down your spine as you look up and make eye contact with wednesday, she’s stood at the door impassive expression on her face you untangle yourself from enid without waking her standing and padding over to her “your not welcome here anymore wednesday” you whisper yell at her, she opens her mouth to speak closes it again thinks finds the right words and takes a step forward towards you “i have accepted tyler’s invite to the raven, i understand you and enid will be there together, you must know i will have you back”

you stand in stunned silence as she continues taking another step towards you “i know you, i know you still think of me, im utterly devoted to you but you must let my investigation run its course” you take a step back towards the sleeping blond suddenly not liking how far away you are “that’s sweet, didn’t know you had it in you, good for you wednesday but your actions make your words meaningless, now if you’ll excuse me im sure im late enough for parents day as it is” you take another step back checking the time.

1:23pm

your eyes near jump out of your head

shit.

“enid” you yelp and she jumps and slinks out of the room like a kicked dog before enid can spot her “enid” you shout this time and it finally stirs her out of her slumber groaning at the bright light of your studio room “what” she grumbles not being a morning person “it’s half 1” she jumps up at the realisation “fuck” “yeah. fuck.” she scrambles to the door grabbing your hand and pulling you with her as she runs for your dorm as it’s closest throwing the door open and going straight to your closet “yeah help yourself” you call out chuckling at the girls antics, a shirt hits you square in the face as she tumbles out half dressed in your joggers and a hoodie.

“put that on keep the joggers you have on now we don’t have time, shit they’ve been here for 2 hours” you hum anxiety spiking as you picture your mums face, you grab enid’s arm as she attempts to rush past you while pulling her shoes back on, you pull her flush against you “good luck with your family today text me im gonna miss you” she smiles reaching up to peck you on the lips “remember to call me if it gets too much n/n, good luck too” she kisses you again sweetly and then she’s gone out the door and down the hall before you even blink.

your left alone in your room tear tracks on your cheeks the tattered remains of a t-shirt clinging to your body the fresh one enid threw at you in your hands, you sigh, again.

come on trooper, let’s do this together

you smile as cal forms in-front of you, at least being able to talk to the dead meant you could be haunted by your favourite sibling.

callum is a trojan horse s6 theory

In the event that the Novablade doesn't work on Aaravos, because .... he's already been stabbed with it, then...

Aaravos intentionally made Callum terribly afraid of him so Callum would HAVE to go to the Starscraper to kill him—so scared that he’s even doing it when he knows—and Rayla told him—it was a bad idea to bring the pearl. he just made it easier for him. the irony is wonderful. so Aaravos gets the sword, the last ingredient to his revenge on the stars, who he swears will fall.

so he's not dying at the hand of the Novablade, it's his weapon

Added thoughts from mutuals were-- Startouch elves were probably barred from entering the Starscraper for some reason, that’s why he needed to use Callum as his vessel, his Trojan horse—throwback to Fall of Lux Aurea btw, "You allowed my vessel to walk ...directly to the source of all your power?" He's done this before—anyway

Today I Realize

the intro to the show directly supports this idea

just the novablade, on screen. while the stars are falling. in aaravos’s name

in his name. the novablade is literally in his name. but also. metaphorically. likely going to be used/ the stars will be falling in his name

in the intro of a show planned out by arc, an intro set to go the rest of the arc

those bastards knew what they were doing since s4 while everyone was bashing it and they were doing this. they were doing this. isofjdsokfjlskghjoiyet4rwehsufdiggjkhlytr im so ILLLLLL

love you show creators for also making it evident it's gonna be callum/supporting my theory further because

The only other place Aaravos's desire for the stars to fall is mentioned is in Patience.

And what's right below this part that closely parallels the arc 2 intro?

Ziard, Viren, and Callum. in S6, Claudia is also likely interacting with Aaravos. (S6 poster) so...why isn’t she here? Only Callum and Viren are here. Could it be because they’re fulfilling such similar roles?

After the end of s5, we know Viren is likely not the main player in Aaravos's game now, not an option (in one way or another) so

next up as Trojan horse / vessel…

Yeah

so excited for hearts of cinder 2: epic fail: so good at "hero" stuff he accidentally doomed the world

#tl;dr #Callum is acting as Aaravos's Trojan horse into the Starscraper so that he can use the Novablade to fell the other stars.#self spaghettification #tdp meta #hopefully this is semi coherent #the guilt and fear on callum's part's gonna be wild too #aaravos #tdp speculation #the dragon prince #tdp theory #callum #tdp s6 speculation #50 #mine

getting quite annoyed at people questioning why callum keeps giving ben forehead kisses when in an episode last month ago they literally discussed that ben was having intimacy issues- ben thought callum never wanted him s3xually which impacted his already low self esteem but it was callum waiting for ben to heal and take his own time with intimacy, being touched etc

the forehead kisses are a gentle way of showing intimacy and that callum will always be there for ben.

in the most recent episode, we see callum putting his hand on bens leg but doesnt straight away cuddle and move in towards ben, ben then reaches out and signals to callum thats hes okay with him getting close.

ben may always be uncomfortable around men and intimacy, who knows, stop trying to think that ben can just get over it.

And honestly i just find it so fking sweet that callum got no s3x for a year and he NEVER pressured ben or complained, he wanted to wait for his husband to come to him. That is the defintion of a husband. He loves ben. S3x and intimacy is not more important than bens wellbeing. His husband has had a life full of trauma then was assaulted adding more trauma to his life, s3x was not on callums mind.

im probably going to reread this many times and regret not adding something etc but this is what i got to say. ee is portraying ben in a realistic way of someone who was assaulted. and they are portraying callum in a realistic way.

also forehead kisses are fking sweet its better than not seeing them kiss.

im an advocate for bucky's curls™!! they're a very important character. it does mean i think about what if when they met and for the rest of the canon bucky has a military cut (or anything short) and that's how gale has known him. those curls don't make an appearance until they're in the camp and bucky's hair grows. gale already is "spacing out" when he sees bucky's longer hair but it's still matted with blood and dirt so he doesn't really get to see it properly. he doesn't get the full force of it until after the war when bucky has let it grow out more since and no dirt and grime can hide them. gale feels like he might lose his mind because he didn't think bucky could be any more prettier than he is but he nearly loses it when bucky mentions he might get a cut soon.

Anon you're so right about his curls being an important character. In my opinion and heart, they are the Main Character, and even thinking about them not being there hurts me. But I do like this scenario you've brought up!

Bucky with a shorter hairstyle during the war would be interesting. Maybe he lost a bet the first few days of training where he had to cut them short and decided he liked the shorter cut since he doesn't have time to take care of his curls during flight school. Gale never sees his curls at full power thus develops his obsession with them late.

Imagining the boys making it through the war without Bucky's Emotional Support Curls because Bucky just cuts them when he thinks they've grown out too much, its wild. But it compels me.

I think he'd look like the picture below.

(I'm adding this photo because I found it when I went on a wild internet journey this morning looking for pics of Callum. Enjoy)

After the war, Bucky decides to grow his hair out again, maybe to reclaim his Old Self, maybe because now he has time to take care of them which in turn is calming for him. The routine of haircare would potentially be very therapeutic for him I think. Maybe he even decides to grow them out to cover the scars on the back of his head. The reasons are endless, but very importantly, Gale does not factor into them (outside of Bucky potentially being into Gale pulling his hair during sex) because Gale's never expressed an interest in Bucky's hair. This will soon change.

His hair once grown out would look closer to these pictures.

Gale barely notices how Bucky's hair has been growing longer. It's one of those you see it every single day and don't really catalog the minute changes until it hits you like a frying pan to the head. The pair are both still trying to transition back into civilian life, and he's too focused on Bucky's health and his own nightmares to notice Bucky's hair, which he's never had to focus on before. Outside of battling for bathroom space now that Bucky's hair products take up most of the counter space (there are so many products, I lived with a curly haired girl for a few years trust me) Gale is oblivious to what is about to happen to him.

A while after he starts growing out his hair, Bucky goes back home to Wisconsin to see his mother for a few weeks. His hair grows more before the pair are reunited, so he definitely resembles the above photos. Bucky shows back up on their doorstep with a cheerful "Honey, I'm home!" that goes unanswered because Gale is frozen solid staring at him. Eyes wide, mouth open in shock, Gale experiences his first real look at The Curls.

Gale gets hit full force with the reality of Bucky's Curls, something he'd been vaguely aware of but didn't think about, and he wonders why he was denied such a sight until this moment.

With the sun setting just behind Bucky's frame, his curls are lit up. The rays showing off the highlights in his chestnut curls. The curls aren't tight and springy but loose and wavey. Bucky runs a hand through them, and Gale nearly falls to his knees.

It's official. Gale is enamoured. He's obsessed. He's running his hand over the soft curls (and pulling them just so), and Bucky melts into the touch. Gale will take any opportunity to touch Bucky's hair now. Walking by Bucky asleep on the couch? Perfect opportunity to run a gentle hand over his curls. A curl refuses to stay put and falls onto Bucky's face while he's reading? Gale's there to tuck it back into the style Bucky prefers. Bucky hurts his shoulder on accident and can't really lift his arm while it heals? Gale will gladly help Bucky wash his hair whenever he wants.

After a while, Bucky's hair grows too long, nearly hitting his shoulders, and he's starting to remember why he kept his hair cut short all those years. Maybe he offhandedly mentions over breakfast how he's gonna cut his hair, cut his curls off. Maybe he asks Gale to help him. Maybe he even mentions shaving them all off.

Gale would have preferred Bucky to shoot him.

Listen, those Curls are the 2nd most important thing in his life at this point (the first being Bucky himself of course). Gale won't admit to how much he relies on them to calm down on his bad days, but he will admit that he doesn't want them cut short, lost to him once more after he's just seen them. Gale begs Bucky not to, desperate to save Bucky's hair.

So the pair compromise. Gale will help Bucky cut his hair to whatever length he wants. He just won't help Bucky shave his hair off. Gale gets to run his hands through Bucky's hair, and Bucky gets to make Gale smile. A win-win if you ask them!

Bucky's Curls- keeping your flyboys sane since 1940!

#mota #masters of the air #asks #buck x bucky #john bucky egan #gale buck cleven #clegan #anon i recommend my curls fic if you haven't already read it #every fic i write includes me waxing poetic about bucky's curls but 'run my fingers through your hair' is my baby

Im so sorry to bother you with yet another question, mr dog. I know youre a busy hound but this idea has just been festering inside my skull and i must know (if your comfortable sharing that is): WOULD Callum have told Milton about his specific plans for the dial up? From what Ive gathered the two seem extremely close (and gay?) So despite Callums extreme paranoia, would Milt be the exception? Would he trust Milt to keep this secret for him? I know Milton took his life because him and callum disagreed on the subject, and I always figured he did this PRIOR to the actual event of the dial up in '66, which would in turn still make it so absolutely no one knew what Callums true plans were.

Good question! Crown lore isn't perhaps the MOST relevant thing to the main events of Dialtown (or most of the main cast) but hey, I love talking about it, and this is a great non spoilery question, so here I go. The long and short of it is that Crown DID try to tell Milt about his idea for the Dialup (and yes, with his paranoia, Milt was the only person he told this to), not so much as something he was going to do, but instead, something he was considering, and Milt responded negatively every single time it was brought up, eventually giving Crown an ultimatum that if Crown went through with the idea, they'd be finished. Milt liked that Crown's tech brought people together, but giving the whole population mandatory biological upgrades essentially means outright ending bodily autonomy in a way that's never been done before. As you can tell from how things turned out, Crown DID in fact make the decision to go through with the idea and it destroyed their relationship.

Crown's paranoia didn't apply to Milt in the same way it applied to others, nor his wife Marla. With everyone except Marla/Milt, he was sure that if push came to shove, they'd sell him down the river, that they could be tortured for information. With Marla, he assumed (incorrectly, imo) that she wasn't really capable of fully understanding his plans and that she might think he'd lost it. Marla was a very sharp person, but she had a tendency to see through Crown's bullshit. Also, like with Milt, he was terrified of Marla ending up danger if she had vital information that others may kill for. Crown went to the trouble of adding the memory erasure button as an in-built cyanide pill, in case he felt he was in actual danger of being captured and interrogated, after all, and he couldn't just slap one onto Milt, as the guy refused to get an object head.

...With Milt, the bulk of his paranoia was that Milt would reject him and walk away forever. Milt had ethical concerns that only came to light as Crown gained more and more power (and thus, had to make bigger and bigger decisions, many of which didn't necessarily have easy solutions.) Crown trusted Milt more than anyone else, but he was terrified that he'd resign and leave him if he knew about the difficult decisions that Crown had to make behind the scenes to achieve the goals that they set out to achieve together. A president can't rule over both floors of congress and take over the judicial branch without breaking a few eggs, y'know?

There's more to what happened between them than anyone knows (Milt had other hangups), but this is an accurate assessment of the dynamic they had.

hey,, you should totally explain all the important lore of dialtown to me bc im far too lazy to actually go watch somethin myself /nf

OKAY OKAY SO. Anybody correct me if I forgot anything, but.

all but Norm have object heads due to The Dialup, initiated by Callum Crown, former president, who lost his memory on January first of 1967, day after the Dailup was set into motion. Norm doesn’t have an object head due to being the first ever astronaut sent into a worm hole, forcing him to travel into the 2020’s, despite being from the 60’s, meaning he’d missed the dialup in its entirety. He was exiled by Mayor Mingus, Callum’s Granddaughter, for refusing to conform and replace his head.

Now, as for Callum. Born in 1923, his left arm being his only complete limb. He eventually built himself legs to join the war, but was denied, giving him newfound spite and determination. He made himself a prosthetic arm, and sold multiple prosthetics to soldiers who had returned, getting him a business, but that was quickly shut down once soldiers didn’t NEED to buy any more limbs. He tried adding upgrades to these prosthetics, with tools built in, but was passed off as a guy who made himself a freak for show. Passed off as a door to door salesman made of clanking metal. He soon realized his telephone was what connected him to the rest of Dialtown, the world, and that’s what started his idea for the phone-heads. The idea caught on, and a typewriter alternative was made too.

Callum was elected president after other roles, but after the dialup, he had accidentally pressed a button on the side of his head, one that would erase his memories in case he was ever captured by an enemy, or something of the sort. Of course, he HAD planned a way to get those memories back, that being giving his vice president, Milton R. Wallace, the plans to his head. But, Milton was no longer around, and not another soul knew a thing about how to fix him. Doctors tried, but there wasn’t anything they could do.

Mingus (in the 2020’s I assume) even tried to get GOD to fix it, only to be turned down.

The Dragon Prince Thoughts Season 2 Episodes 8 and 9

Random thought that has nothing to do with anything: Was Viren ever married because I made fun of him last episode reaction because he’s not married but then I remembered that he has two kids but I’ve never heard any mention of their mother do we just assume that she died?

Episode 8

-“how may I serve you” he says in a tone that screams ‘I’m more powerful than you and you know it’

-so the trapping-people-inside-coins spell makes you look like a zombie, and the turning chains-into-snakes spell apparently makes you look like a ghost that hasn’t slept in a month

-“what are you doing”

“I’m pinching you, Soren”

“Well that’s just rude”

When you’re probably totally paralyzed but talking back to your sister is much more important

-“that was really pretty! But I still can’t move”

-The guy in Callum’s nightmare (vision?) doesn’t look like anyone we’ve seen before, are we really about to add a third(?) villain

-also I know nothing about anything what symbol was the one that was lighting up?

-“I’m not lying, I never lie” he says in the most untrustworthy tone I’ve ever heard

-finally he’s bandaging his hand, there should be blood literally all over his arm right now

-I know Aaravos’ name but I am very tempted just to keep calling him sparkly hands

-dream dude has Callum’s gloves, I think I know what’s about to go down

-if he’s about to tell Ezran about his dad I swear let him stay ignorant as long as he can please I can’t do this rn

-booooooo

-ik Soren is gonna walk again that’s not what I’m worried about, what I’m worried about is how much it will hurt to watch when he finds out

-well now look what you’ve done, this poor little boy

-the first thing he was worried about was Callum my heart

-he’s handling it SO WELL

-Hahahah Callum’s face when he sees dream Callum

-seriously what symbol is that supposed to be am I supposed to just know

-SOR-SOR DOES SHE ACTUALLY CALL HIM THAT THATS SO CUTE

-VIREN IM GONNA KILL YOU YOUR SON IS LITERALLY GLAD THAT HES PARALYZED BECAUSE NOW HE DOESNT HAVE TO DO THE TERRIBLE THING YOU MANIPULATED HIM INTO AGREEING TO ARE YOU HAPPY RIGHT NOW??? ARE YOU???

-we’re really bringing Harrow into this y’all are torturing him beyond the grave

-but also that fact that there are so many people Callum probably talked to much more than Harrow but he was the one to snap him out of it says a lot

-“Destiny is a book you write yourself” adding this to my possible senior quotes list

-the cube just fell into hell??? And dream Callum turned to dust??? Does this happen to everyone the first time they use dark magic???

-not Corvus blaming Rayla for letting Ezran go when she was literally the one to try to convince him to let her go with him while Corvus just stepped out of his way

-Soren being so chill about this is both incredibly heartbreaking but also kinda funny ngl

-he literally just had to lie there and watch as his sister trashed his hospital room and got dragged out

-this dream started super deep but now Callum is… a sail???

-this whole episode had been a fever dream honestly the only way this could get worse is if someone dies

-“you’re making this easy for me, young king!” Dude… his dad just died?? And you’re more focused on beating him at hide and seek?? Show some respect??

-Aaravos’ expression looks super shady no matter what he’s doing or saying if they’re trying to hide that he’s a villain they’re doing a very bad job

-imagine thinking you just got the king of Katolis killed very shortly after the last king got killed and when you tell his friend (who just happens to be an elf, in fact, she’s one of the elves who was on the mission that killed the first king) she laughs in your face and tells you that your king (who is like 9 years old) can talk to animals and is now riding away on a banther, oh and also his brother the prince has been lying on the ground with two black eyes and yelling out random delirious things since you found them and you still have no idea what happened to him, like what would you even do

-me too man, me too

-“you big, dumb human” she says while looking at him with extreme concern in her eyes

-this dream is the most chaotic masterpiece I have ever seen

-YOURE JUST GONNA LEAVE ME LIKE THAT???

-I have school tomorrow and it’s 12:45 am, I have school tomorrow and it’s 12:45 am, I have school tomorrow and it’s 12:45 am, I have school tomorrow and it’s 12:45 am, I have school tomorrow and it’s 12:45 am

-screw it I’m watching the next one

Episode 9

-I just realized that we haven’t seen Claudia and Ezran interact one on one until now this is adorable

-the fact that they’re telling jokes while both of them are in horrible mental states

-so mom left and it was probably definitely because of Viren, but she’s the one that left her children with him so they’re both awful

-also why do I always just randomly remember stuff that seems totally unrelated but then it always gets brought up an episode later

-that phrase being passed down to the next person every time they have to talk about hard stuff

-is this thing with his mom made up because he was like 5-6 when she died but here he’s his current age???

-Now THAT symbol I know

-“I understand the sky arcanum” that’s it? That’s all you had to hear? …I don’t get it but cool ig

-also how does he know it’s the sky arcanum? Like it is because the primal stone was a storm? Like we know it’s the sky arcanum because the sky symbol lit up but I didn’t see a single thing in that dream that pointed to sky

-girl what the heck are you about to do to those deer that you need to send Ezran away for it

-ooooooh ok I totally get it now it took me a second

-this is awesome but doesn’t he only know like two spells

-oh shoot there’s always at least one person who needs catching up, oh boy

-very thankful that they didn’t show what she did to the poor deer nobody needs to see that

-oh no Claudia’s punishment for whatever she did was turning her hair into e-girl hair during the bleached front pieces trend

-STOP THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR A LITTLE BOY JUST LET HIM GO ON HIS FUN QUEST WITH HIS FRIEND AND HIS BROTHER AND HIS DRAGON

-DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE ZYM SOUND LIKE A WHIMPERING PUPPY THIS IS AWFUL

-are they still looking for Viren because they’re not doing a very good job he’s literally on top of a tower in plain sight

-oh great he’s a zombie again

-ok they zoomed in on the rocks sinking and I’m taking that as a bad sign

-the butterfly thing Viren has is giving hawkmoth

-I’m sorry but whatever Aaravos was doing in the mirror just looked like a bunch of Tik Tok dances

-the fact that Aaravos is inside Viren’s head, both figuratively and literally

-and Opeli of course wins because she’s the best

-why weren’t they running the whole time?

-ok so not only can Ezran suddenly see through Zym’s eyes but also Corvus just let him go on his shoulders and flap around without a second thought

I have no clue if I'm allowed to be in here again,, I'm sure it's fine.

But Assassin's Creed,, I'm torn between the group of Gals I normally request or Callum. I leave that in your hands, fishie. This is honestly just to write anything Assassin's Creed to your hearts content :D

The Depths to Which I Hate Shay

[Warnings: everything. no im just playing, absolutely nothing]

[AN: Or rather, how I would fight him in the Ihop parking lot bc I love Ihop]

alright largely this is a joke but I just want to get this out of my system.

And no, this has nothing to do with the Templars. I think it's a very black and white view to think Assassins = good and Templars = bad, as clearly Rogue was challenging that.

It's been a while since I've touched Rogue, but he did have valid reasons for leaving.

I just find Shay annoying. Like I love him and also hate him. I would willingly fight him. I don't like his catchphrase. It's so awkward.

"I make my own luck" stop it.

And then he just DID THAT to Arno's dad? Really? Like, okay I get it, but still. Still.

SO I would like to fight him in the Ihop parking lot.

Let's get this out of the way: i'm a 5' tall east asian woman, and tbh I'm not that muscular except for my legs. I'm going to kick him as hard as I can. Make him fold. He could still like, absolutely destroy me though but I don't think he would. He gives off the vibe that he just wouldn't hurt me? Like he's hesitant about it. And I think that's weak *eyeroll emoji indicating sarcasm*

I think earlier Shay, like when he first was actually turning to the templars, was actually much more contemplative, reflective and "redeemable" than the man he became when he murdered Arno's father.

I like that Shay better.

But like, later on in life the man sucks. And I think that's ubisoft's problem. They just can't make a well rounded villain, they gotta put them in one stereotype "ooooo templar evil". Like they did a total 180 on the thoughtful and contemplative man he was. Apparently he was gleeful over the revolution in Paris, which would kill even more innocent people when he was traumatized over what happened in Lisbon(?)

But anyways, I think older Shay I would attempt to kill myself in the parking lot of an Ihop. I love Ihop. Why is he here?? Get out???

Younger Shay I might have a chat with.

Older Shay is having his ribs stolen. I don't make the rules.

He killed Ade. I'm definitely not pleased with that. Adewale deserved the world and MORE. Come on.

I'm also not sure he really understood the Creed all that well. He was depicted as immature and too fired up from the beginning. I don't know if he did enough sleuthing within the creed to "entirely justify" him jumping ship. But y'know, everyone needs to go their own path.

ALSO I just,,, I don't know, I find him kind of shady. I wouldn't trust him to show up for the group project, but I would trust him if I was in a bad place and needed someone.

It's a love hate relationship.

Genuinely, I would steal his car and I can't drive.

Fan with Benefits (Part One)

Pairing: Cillian Murphy x Reader

Words: 1,058

Warning: None

Notes: As usual, this is fiction and has nothing to do with Cillian’s real life.

You’ve been working at the Dublin Art Gallery for the past five months in sales and acquisition and tonight was the opening night of the exhibition.

You were off duty and attended the gala with one of your best friends, Katherine, who loved modern art and abstract paintings just as much as you did.

As expected, the evening was busy and there were many celebrities around who attended the gala.

’It’s Cillian Murphy, right over there’ your friend Katherine eventually pointed out and, sure enough, when you looked over towards him, he noticed you too and smiled.

‘Oh my god, he just looks as good in real life’ you observed, cheeks flushing and it was obvious to you that he was still looking over towards you.

You tried hard to straighten up your short black dress and make a serious expression and perhaps even look somewhat elegant when you sipped on your glass of champagne, but your efforts were futile. As usual, you were rather clumsy, especially when you were wearing high heels.

‘He is still looking at you’ Katherine then pointed out and you glanced over again only just to look away from him quickly.

‘I am sure he is just looking at the painting behind me’ you said, looking at the rather abstract artwork in front of which you were standing.

‘He’s coming over’ Katherine then giggled, knowing how much you adored him in his movies and Peaky Blinders. Clearly, you were a little star struck by him.

Nervously, you watched him come closer and closer until he was standing directly in front of you.

‘I’ve been told that you work here’ he suddenly said to you as he stood right in front of you and Katherine and you couldn’t help but nod nervously.

‘Yes, but it’s my night off’ you shuddered while forcing out a smile.

‘I can see that’ Cillian chuckled. His smile was simply mesmerising.

‘You can?’ you asked, fidgeting as you did.

‘You are drinking champagne…a fair bit of it if I may add’ Cillian then pointed, causing you to bite your lip with embarrassment.

‘I might still be able to help you or, if you prefer, I can get Callum, my manger’ you then said nervously.

‘I am sure you will be able to’ he then winked before telling you that he was interested in purchasing one of the paintings.

‘Uhm, which one?’ you asked, looking around to ascertain what had caught his interest.

‘Common, I will show you’ Cillian suggested and, of course, you nodded and followed him.

When he showed you the painting, you weren’t really surprised. The piece was modern but yet elegant.

‘Well, I cannot sell the painting to you tonight, but I can take a deposit and mark it as sold and then you can finalise the deal when the exhibition concludes in six weeks’ you told him as you required authorisation from your boss.

‘That will do, thank you’ Cillian responded and you suggested that he follows you to the office so that you can take the deposit and fill out the purchase order.

***

After you sat down behind your desk, you typed up the particulars rather quickly which was difficult after the two glasses of champagne you had and due to the fact that Cillian’s presence made you rather nervous.

‘I need your phone number please’ you then said nervously, not wanting to sound like a stalker or total weirdo. ‘Just so I can process the sale’ you then quickly explained as Cillian had raised one of his eyebrows at you.

‘Of course’ Cillian responded before reading out his mobile phone number for you.

‘What’s yours?’ he then asked suddenly, catching you by surprise.

‘Mine?’ you wondered.

‘Your phone number’ he chuckled.

‘Why?’ you asked.

‘In case I need to contact you about the sale. I would much rather deal with you directly as, the truth is, I don’t like Callum very much’ Cillian explained and it was very difficult for you to argue with him the way he looked at you.

‘Uhm, alright’ you said before reading out your mobile phone number and watching him type it into his phone.

‘Your name?’ he then asked, realising that you didn’t introduce yourself to him.

‘Y/N’ you said shyly, cheeks flushing red.

‘Well, it was nice to meet you Y/N’ Cillian said after finalising the particulars with you and paying the deposit.

***

When you returned to the gallery, Katherine was quick to ask you a million questions, wanting to know what Cillian was like, what said and even what he smelled like.

She was as obsessed with him as you were and wanted to know everything.

You both couldn’t help but watch Cillian for the rest of the evening and, surely, he must have noticed, glancing over towards you numerous times throughout the night until, suddenly, he was gone.

***

The following day, you received a phone call which was rather unexpectant.

‘Is that Y/N?’ a familiar voice asked.

‘Yes, who is this?’ you asked somewhat annoyed, thinking that this was yet another one of those telemarketing calls.

‘It’s Cillian’ the man then said and, when you didn’t respond, he added ‘Cillian Murphy’.

‘Uhm, right, hey…how can I help?’ you asked surprised.

‘Callum called me this morning and told me that I should have signed the purchase order. He said that he will make an exception for me and that I can simply sign it when I pick up the painting in six weeks when the exhibition ends. The problem is, I won’t be in Dublin then and my architect will pick it up for me. So, I want to get this purchase order signed in advance’ Cillian explained.

‘Of course, yes. I can make arrangements for that’ you told him.

‘Perhaps I can come to your place and sign? How does 7 o’clock tonight sound?’ Cillian then asked.

‘You want to come to my place? Why not the gallery?’ you asked somewhat confused.

‘Because I am in London and won’t get back until you close up for the day. What’s your address?’ Cillian explained.

‘Uhm, it’s Unit 6, 7 Lakeview Hill Road, Donnybrook’ you said nervously.

‘Can you text this to me?’ Cillian asked and, of course, you agreed and confirmed that you would see him at 7 o’clock at your apartment.

BUT WHEN HE LOVES ME I FEEL LIKE IM FLOATING

pairing: sugawara koushi x fem!reader

genre: fluff

warnings: spoilers for love island series five, the female reader is only for the nicknames ‘pretty girl’ and ‘sweet girl’

word count: 1.0k

note: for darling cass bc she’s lit going thru it rn and asked for a fic w suga n love island 😋

“No, because I don’t really understand.”

You huff at your boyfriend’s words, eyebrows knitting together as you turn away from the TV, British accents filtering into the room from the speakers as you tilt your head at him. Sugawara has his confused face on—his lips pursed forward, eyes squinted a bit, and a chin resting between his thumb and forefinger.

“Babe, what isn’t there to understand?” Your lips have a teasing smile on them as you motion towards the TV again. “Five girls and five guys are introduced to each other and are forced to couple up, before they end up spending a few nights at the villa together in the same bed.”

“Yeah, I got that part,” he rolls his eyes a bit at the tone in your voice, a bit too excited and talking so fast it was almost hard to understand you, “but I thought I saw more people in the trailers?”

“Oh, yeah.” You nod your head at him, hand running idly along the straight of his shoulders. “So, usually after the first night, the hosts send in more contestants to stir up drama. This time around, they ended up adding two guys: Curtis and Tommy.”

He nods sagely along to your words. Despite not really knowing what was happening in the show, he knew you needed any sort of distraction from the ending of your favorite anime that had happened recently. He didn’t want to be insensitive and force you to watch something he wanted to watch, so he was happily indulging you in your favorite dating show.

It helped that it was filled with drama, and he liked seeing them argue.

“Okay, so, we don’t like Sherif, and we don’t like Callum?” He inquired, watching the way your face lit up as he remembered a few names of the people that had been introduced already. “Okay, is there a reason why we don’t like Sherif?”

“Well,” you press your face into the crook of his shoulder when a commercial plays, too poor to pay for a Hulu subscription without them, “he’s not doing bad now, but he’s kinda jerky later on in. He ends up leaving cause he got, like, kicked off.”

“Oh shit,” Sugawara presses a kiss against the crown of your head, before curling an arm around your shoulders and pulling you into his lap. “I love you.”

Sighing contently, you curl your legs over his lap and make sure to curl into his warmth, making a soft noise of approval when he grabs a blanket from the side of the couch. He throws it over the two of you, leaning back as the show turns back on, the announcer’s voice jovial as he reintroduces the contestants.

“I love you, too.” You murmur softly, feeling a soft tugging in your heart when Sugawara pulls you just a bit closer. “Thanks for watching this with me.”

“Of course,” he whispers it against your hair, “anything to make you stop crying over a fictional death, baby.”

Which, of course, was the wrong thing to say as he feels you begin to sniffle. He quickly runs his hands along the sides of your arms, hoping to stem the flow of your tears before it turns into full-on sobbing. “Shit, I’m sorry, sweet girl, I didn’t mean to make you upset.”

“I know,” you moan helplessly, hands wiping at your eyes, “I shouldn’t even be this sad, he’s fictional!”

“But your feelings are valid,” he gives you a soft smile before offering you a tissue to wipe at your tears, “and I’m always gonna be here to wipe your tears away.”

The statement makes you smile, ignoring something stupid that Anton says on the television as you press your lips against the curve of your boyfriend’s grin. Despite your fixation on a fictional boy, he’d never cared for a second that you fawned over him. Sugawara, while being somewhat a jealous guy, found that he liked watching you fret and worry over this fictional guy.

It was cute, really.

“Did you know that there’s a mobile game for this?” You say, wiping at your eyes with the tissue he’d given you. He shakes his head a bit, gray hairs dislodging themself from the otherwise tidy hairstyle he’d gone for today. “It’s pretty fun, but I don’t like the fact that you have to spend money to get the good outfits. It’s annoying because I don’t wanna be at the poolside in an ugly bikini.”

His hands skate along your sides when your hiccups start to subside, instead focusing on the game you were talking about. The show was still idly playing in the background, but the British accents were a nice reprieve from the thoughts you were having every time you had a spare quiet moment.

That ending had thoroughly ruined you, and despite it ending on a somewhat positive note for most of the characters, your favorite one seemed to just continue getting the short end of the stick. It wasn’t fair and just the thought of it could send you spiralling into another breakdown.

Sugawara had, thankfully, taken your moods in step. He had immediately offered to stay with you and watch something different just to take your mind off of the distress you were going through, which is how you ended up watching Love Island. Your favorite series had been the fifth one, so he was more than willing to accompany you on the couch with a cup of tea and water at the little table at your side.

“You’re so pretty.” He says, eyes roaming along the curves of your cheek, and along the planes of your smile. He was enamoured with you, even despite the way you kept pressing at your puffy eyes and blowing your nose.

“But I’m crying.” You groan a bit, trying to pull away before his arms wind around you firmly. “I’m not pretty when I cry,”

Sugawara closes into your space, pressing his nose against your cheek and rubbing gently, “I’m your boyfriend, I think you’re always pretty, sweet girl.”

Taking his cheeks in your hands, you press a gentle kiss against his lips as you giggle gently. “I love you, idiot.”

“And I love you, even despite your fake boyfriend.”

sometimes you catch yourself wondering "is it me?? am I the problem??? Is anything even wrong or am I making it up???" And that, on its own, should be enough to remind you that it was fucked to begin with

Callum comforts Zym by saying "you're safe, I've got you/we're here with you" which is what a lot of positive parenting experts and psychologists recommend you say to comfort children, because it tells them it's okay to be scared, but that they're safe with mum or dad, but anyway what I'm saying is Callum is an excellent father

82.

First off, Soren is a pretty good Crownguard. He'd been misguided in the past, and he was kind of mean to Callum about it when King Harrow first made him do it, but he was Callum's first sword fighting teacher, so it's not that weird that it's come to this. It's just weird that, this time, it comes from Callum.

"Can we spar?"

The double take Soren does almost gives him whiplash. It's mid-summer. Callum's birthday is in a week, and Rayla's is in the fortnight after that. The trip home from Xadia was long and sweaty and gross, but it was nice, Soren supposes, because for once he hadn't spent the whole time with crushing insecurity stirring around in his gut. He's Ezran's Captain of the Crownguard. He's Rayla's new sparring partner. He's Callum's good friend. Things are crazy different now, but he looks Callum up and down, skinny, rune-painted arms and all, and thinks: not that different.

Soren presses his lips together. "You want to what?"

"Spar," says Callum. He looks kind of nervous, but eager all the same, and oh, Lady Justice, he's being serious. "Rayla's been teaching me a little and... I dunno. I want to give it another go."

"You'll lose," says Soren stupidly.

Callum nods. "Yeah. But I want the practise. Please?"

"O...kay?" says Soren, in part because he doesn't know how to refuse, and in part because Callum's his prince and from a technical standpoint, he can't. "If you're that eager to get your butt handed to you, I guess?"

Callum's face splits into a grin.

They head down to the bailey, and Soren finds the old wooden swords they used to practise with. He hasn't actually seen Rayla teaching Callum, but Callum holds the practise sword differently now and it looks big and awkward in his hands. He holds his own for, like, a minute--which is definitely an improvement compared to a couple of months ago--he even manages a parry!--but in the end, Callum still loses, and he still ends up on his back, covered in dirt and huffing at the sky.

Soren leans over him, confused. "You good?"

Callum nods. "I think so," he puffs. He sits up with a groan and grimaces at the wooden sword at his feet. "I don't get it. I thought I'd be better."

Soren stares at him. "I mean," he says awkwardly, "you are. You definitely did better than when I used to train you, that's for sure."

Callum snorts a little. "I think she's just a better teacher for me."

"That, or you're paying closer attention." Soren waggles his eyebrows suggestively but even as gross as they are, Callum's cheeks redden with a blush. Soren chuckles and offers him a hand. "If she's already teaching you how to handle a sword, what are you doing asking me?"

Callum flushes some more. "I dunno," he mumbles. "She likes sparring with you."

"Please tell me you're not jealous."

"What? No!" Callum actually laughs, and it's not like Soren's offended, but wow. Rude. "No, it's just... she goes out of her way to show me cool runes, or some of the Draconic she remembers from when she was younger. I guess... I'm just trying to take an interest in what she likes to do too."

"...By getting your butt kicked?"

Callum wrinkles his nose. "By practising so I can impress her."

Gods, they're so sweet, Soren thinks he might have a new cavity just by thinking about it. He sighs good-naturedly and kicks the discarded wooden sword back into his hand. "She doesn't like you for your sword fighting skills, y'know."

"I know," says Callum. "But I still want to get better so it doesn't feel like she's putting all this work in to teach me for nothing. And, I know, it's super not my thing, and there's no way I'm going to get anywhere near the level you and she are at but... it's the effort that counts, right?"

Soren lets out a laugh. "Sure is," he says tossing the practise sword back at Callum.

He still fumbles with it. It still thunks into the dirt, but Callum grabs it and cocks his head. "You don't think it's stupid?"

"Nah," chuckles Soren. "I think it's sweet. I can help a bro out and help you practise if you want. You can just owe me later."

Callum laughs. "Done," he says. He brings his sword up like Rayla does. They go again.

Callum, turning up at a coffee shop in Scotland: can I get a mocha with oat milk

80.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes there are days when Callum has lessons or meetings or other Prince-y things he's not allowed to bring Rayla to, and Rayla shuts down hard.

Soren kind of gets it. It's weird having an elf around. Callum having a girlfriend is weird, and Rayla turning up at dinner sometimes in Katolan red is weird, and the general vibe of seeing her wandering around the castle on her own is weird—but it's gotta be weirder still for her. Ezran hadn't been particularly specific about it, but Soren thinks she's here to begin with because she can't go home. Some stuff with her family or something and, well, Soren definitely gets that so he doesn't ask.

But the weird goes both ways, he thinks, and that's the point. She's quieter when she's on her own, and part of that is probably because she's a heck of a fish out of water without Callum glued to her side. Soren's seen the other guards watching her with various shades of scrutiny, some worse than others, and as awesome as it must be to live in the castle, she must miss home sometimes, and that's gotta suck one way or another.

Anyway. This is how he finds her one day. Callum's been dragged off to a meeting with an ambassador from Del Bar and they're not so comfortable with the idea of Rayla being in attendance just yet, so she's sitting cross legged on the wall overlooking the bailey. She's got her nose tucked into Callum's scarf, her fingers fidgeting absently with the end, her back hunched like she's trying to make herself smaller than she is, and Soren cocks his head at her and hoists himself onto the wall next to her without waiting to be invited.

He prods her shoulder. "Are you pining?"

Her nose twitches likes she's caught between a scowl and a snort. "You can't pine for someone who's already your boyfriend."

Soren smirks at her. "You look like you're waiting for him to come back from a war." He pitches his voice up and puts on his best impression of her accent. "Oh, Callum, I miss ye' sooo much."

"Moon and Stars," breathes Rayla.

"It's been twenty minutes and I'm so lost without you."

"I will push you off this wall."

"Come back to me soon, my heart can't take it."

"All right, we're done here." Rayla shoves him so hard he wobbles dangerously on the bricks, but Soren still catches the little spark of amusement in her eye and silently congratulates himself for a job well done. "Why're you here anyway? Shouldn't you be in that meeting with them?"

Soren shrugs at her. "Corvus and General Amaya are both in there with them, they don't need me. Besides. You looked sad."

Rayla glances at him sharply from the corner of her eye. "What's that got to do with you, exactly?"

Soren shrugs again. "Nothing, I guess. Just figured you could use a friend."

She doesn't argue. Soren tries not to look too surprised about it, but it's the way that she blinks that gets him: it's hard to miss the tears in her eyes. "It's not him I miss," she mutters.

Soren stares at her. He hadn't thought he'd get this far. He's never been good at feelings-y things and Rayla must be really sad if she's willingly talking about this to him. He coughs. "Oh?"

She snorts. "I miss my family," she whispers. "My mum and dad. Runaan. Ethari. It's—don't worry about. It's stupid."

And maybe Soren hadn't realised how similar they were to begin with, but hearing her admit to it feels like a punch in the gut. He snorts ruefully and pats her shoulder. "Not that stupid," he says quietly. "I miss mine too."

Rayla pauses. She stares. She scoffs. "Guess we're both pining a little then, huh?"

Soren lets out a sad chuckle. "I guess so."
