I’m interested. How do Apollo and Artemis’s desire to protect each other drive a wedge between them?
I'm glad you askeddd. Thank you for being my first anon ever btw. (@crowmakeska-boom idk if you are the anon but anon, whoever you are, sorry for the wait). This is probably not a very good meta cause it's mostly vibes, gut feelings and filling in the blanks with below the bare minimum of textual evidence but oh well. 
First I'd like to talk about why I think Artemis and Apollo's relationship is kind of distant. They're a confusing duo. When you first meet them in the titan's curse it may seem they don't like each other much or atleast Artemis seems to not be paticularly fond of her brother. Calling him “irresponsible”, “lazy”, “big headed”. But reading between the lines reveals how much the two of them care for each other, especially on Apollo's part from all the illegal help he was dishing out to the questers.
But then when you read some more, their relationship just feels a tad too distant to completely take what they say as just banter. When we see them on Delos in Blood of Olympus the distance is literal. They're recycling banter that's getting old and you can tell that even if it had been lighthearted before, it’s definitely getting on both their nerves now (stolen from fsinger lmao). They’ve both been playing the part for a long time but it feels like they don’t have the closeness anymore to recognize they’re both just playing parts. 
So what happened?
I think it's their need to protect each other that's causing this rift between them. From my point of view Artemis & Apollo are protecting each other from different things but Olympus is at the core of it for the both of them.
The twins have a very different experience of Olympus. Since her introduction Artemis seems pretty critical of Olympus. According to the hunters she's the only one who can get the ball rolling during solstice meetings and she's shown to not really act the Olympian way. Taking the sky off the shoulders of a mortal girl. Shrinking herself down to make the human heroes feel more comfortable and demanding they get rewarded.
It wouldn't be far fetched to assume that she's never fit in with Olympus and doesn't agree with most of the views of her family.
Then there's Apollo.
Who fits in so perfectly with the messed up inner workings of Olympus or so people think. He's perfected his mask over the years and no one is the wiser about the abuse he's gone through or even the fact that this isn't actually who he is.
To me, Artemis wants to protect Apollo from Olympus' true nature. In her head she's got every part of Olympus figured out and for the most part she has. Even if it's not something that works for her I think she would want to protect her younger brother from knowing what the kind of people he surrounds himself with are truly like.
I feel like Artemis would be conflicted on it for other reasons too because if Apollo is aware of the kind of people the Olympians are and he's alright with that, what kind of god is Apollo?
So she'd much rather think of him as stupid and irresponsible cause those atleast mean that it isn't he isn't a bad person. But I feel deep down she doesn't really believe completely that what she knows of her brother is correct.
But then she sees the way Zeus loves Apollo and cares for him and in her mind it's the right decision to let him live this way. He is safer now than they ever were as children.
Apollo on the other hand wants to conceal their father's true nature from Artemis. We know that he cares deeply about appearing fine on the surface because of how others would worry and who would worry more than his older sister.
Artemis and Apollo may be the protectors of youth but the first ever youth they protected were each other. It's the foundation of their relationship and caries on into the present day. Both of them feel a desperate need to protect each other.
I would go so far as to say that this is THE relationship they have with each other. The both of them never find comfort in each other, only protection. You can tell that comfort is not something they usually derive from each other from the way they're both completely blindsided by simple things like an "I love you" , a hug and just concern in general.
Comfort from each other is not a priority for them no matter how much they crave it. The twins purpose to each other is to protect.
So of course Apollo would never tell Artemis about the way Zeus hurts him.
I also think there's a little bit of denial on Artemis' part on just how abusive Zeus is. Cause Apollo is dropping hints. Even the way Artemis talks during Blood of Olympus makes it clear that she understands Zeus is gonna massacre the guy. She just doesn't want to believe it will be permanent.
And it's got a lot to do with the fact that she wants to protect him. Because if she acknowledges this isn't a situation Apollo is gonna come out from unscathed that means that she's incapable of protecting him. That means that she's failed to protect him before and cannot protect him again.
So she'd much rather pretend that Zeus is persuadable and not that bad. That it's Apollo's fault Zeus comes down so hard on him and if he were a little better and a bit more like her he could be safe.
And this would hurt Apollo because Artemis can pinpoint exactly what Zeus is like. But instead of comforting him she confirms for him that this is his fault. That if he could be better none of this would happen. Artemis helps prevent but never helps heal because helping her brother heal means he was in a position to be hurt in the first place.
All this mess and miscommunication and disbelief stemming from the fact that they love each other and never want to see each other hurt creates an impossible distance between them.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Slowly but surely they're trying to comfort/ seek comfort instead of just protect each other.
I wept on my sister’s shoulder. I felt like if I let go of Artemis, I would fall back into Chaos. Huge parts of my identity would shake loose, and I would never be able to find all the puzzle pieces. “Whoa, there.” She patted my back awkwardly. “Okay, little fella. You’re all right now. You made it.”
Apollo's trials sucked. But I'm glad it's given the twins the opportunity to bridge the gap between their relationship again.

I have so so very much to say about Chayanne and Tallulah so buckle up mfer’s this one is gonna be a long one!!!
Ahem, now that that’s out of the way…
I’ve been thinking a lot about these two while they were away, and especially now that they’re back. I was thinking to myself that they were really starting to give me the vibe of two siblings who have become MASSIVELY codependent on each other. And for a while I was all “oh they’re kids and it’s adorable so I’m gonna let this slide”, and while I do still think they’re adorable, since they’ve came back it’s become really blatantly obvious how attached to each other they are.
There’s nothing wrong with that! They basically have grown up together, been through a lot of traumatizing shit, and have rarely if at all left each other’s side during all those months that Tallulah lived with them. It makes sense that they’d be very attached to each other.
But I think now that Tallulah has started to really embrace the fact that Wilbur is probably not coming back, and she’s starting to move forward and heal from it, we’re getting to see her step into her independence a little more. She has her safety net, Phil and Chayanne and all the other eggs and parents on the island who love her dearly, so now she’s ready to take a step away from them all to be herself and independently herself. Which we see in her wanting to stay overnight in her house alone now, instead of in the bunker with Chayanne and Phil. It’s not because she doesn’t love and care for them, but because she wants to make her own space. Kinda like growing up in a way!
I think Purgatory really taught her a lot about herself in all honesty. She wasn’t alone even after she got separated from the rest of her siblings. She had Ramon and Dapper, but while they care about her and no doubt made an effort to make sure she was safe, it most likely wasn’t the almost overbearing overprotectiveness of Chayanne. I think her being out there with those two taught her a lot about exactly what she’s capable of when she is on her own to define herself.
When it comes to Chayanne, I think Purgatory and the weeks before taught him the exact opposite.
From the day he met Tallulah, he’s been responsible for protecting her. It’s evolved since then to encompass all of his siblings, but with Tallulah it’s a more pressuring responsibility. He’s the oldest, he needs to take care of them all, but he especially needs to take care of Tallulah. It’s a weird mixture between obligation, put on him by his dad, Wilbur, and himself, and a genuine love for his sister. When all the eggs returned from being basically in a coma for a week, Chayanne was apologizing to Tallulah so much. Not because he did anything wrong, but because for weeks he had no idea if she was safe or in danger, alive or dead, and he had no way of knowing if his decision to take all of his siblings and flee that night had been the right call or not. For all he knew during those weeks of Purgatory, Tallulah could have been dead and it would have been all his fault.
This poor kid probably had no idea what to do with himself, and I guarantee it was Leo’s presence that kept him from going crazy with worry and anxiety. He had to focus on making sure Leo was safe, therefor he couldn’t afford to worry himself sick over Tallulah.
Protecting others is and was what defined Chayanne for so long. His very identity became tied solely to what he can do and provide for his siblings, and specifically that he can protect and take care of Tallulah when the adults aren’t there (and even when they are in most cases). But now that Tallulah is taking that step away, that step into independence and towards functioning herself as a separate entity to him, he’s been thrown for a loop.
Without her there, he isn’t sure what space to take up himself, and hell I don’t think he even really knows how to define himself if it isn’t as the protector of his sister. Even on today’s stream, when Tallulah decided to sleep alone in her house again, Chayanne spent a few minutes in the basement unsure of where he should even sleep that night, like where she slept was what was guiding him. Without her, he’s vulnerable and he feels that vulnerability so deeply that it completely turns his world upside down. So he reaches out to his dad to guide him instead, to tell him that he made the right decision getting all of his siblings out of there, to invite him to sleep next to him for the night, to tell him that things will work out and there’s no point in dwelling on the past.
I love these two siblings dearly, but I do really hope that the admins continue writing their characters growing independently from each other. Not only because I think it’s good for their characters, but because I also think it’s good for some internal conflict.

relationships
Tumblr media
Quinn Hughes
Tumblr media
Her big brother and her biggest protector. He held her first out of their brothers in the hospital and fell in love immediately.
When she got drafted to the Regina Pats in 2019, The closet person to her was Quinn, and It was about a five hour car drive to her or a forty minute plane ride, so the person she saw the most was Quinn.
Quinn has alwyss had such a unique bond with Carter and the two never could hide anything from each other.
If Carter cried during the night most nights Quinn would wake up before their parents would and would already be calming down his baby sister.
Carter always had hard time sleeping and needed to cuddle with someone to sleep better but when she cuddled with Quinn she always slept the best.
Quinn was the only brother who wanted to learn how to do Carter’s hair, when growing up he would watch their mom do so he could learn.
At the end of her rookie season Quinn got Carter a puppy, a golden doodle. A dog she’s wanted since she was child but never got one, and Quinn knew she was going to move to her own place for the next season and wanted her to at least have someone in her apartment, even if she was only a the apartment next to his apartment.
Quinn is the only one of her brothers that know how much Connor means to her, Jack and Luke think Carter just has a friend from her hockey but they don’t realize how much Carter cares for Connor, but Quinn does.
Carter was the witness for Quinn being named Captain and after she made sure he knew how proud she was of him and that made Quinn cry.
Whenever the siblings played hockey together Quinn and Carter were always on a team and Jack and Luke on another.
Quinn has learned to cook very well on his own and it’s become Carter’s favorite to get food from him or a smoothie for breakfast, they usually eat pretty much every meal with each other during the season.
During the hockey season they try to find one night a week to watch a movie or an episode of a show they’re watching together.
Luke Hughes
Tumblr media
Carter and Luke have always had a special connection having been the youngest and closet in age.
They had really bad separation anxiety when Carter left for the Pats and Luke to Collage.
It made Luke sad when he realized how far apart they ended growing as they both moved away from home and it makes Luke miss the days where they lived a room apart.
When Carter lets her hair be curly she looks identical to Luke and it’s Ellen favorite when her babies look so alike.
Luke proudly talks about his sister a lot to all of his friends, he’s her biggest supporter and is always mentioning her in anything from his teamsters to interviews.
Luke loves Carters middle name Reese and has always called her Reese‘s pieces.
Luke has always felt the most comfortable being vulnerable around Carter than their brothers.
Sometimes Luke will come in to her room at the lake house and just lay on top of Carter and his excuse is that they need cuddles.
Carter is always the one that picks the music in the car and has influenced a lot of songs that have become Luke’s favorite.
Carter always was very intelligent and school was something that came easier for her and Luke despite being a year head would always have Carter help him.
They tell each other almost everything so it really hurt Luke to figure out so late what his sister felt for Connor because it made him realize that they aren’t as close anymore as they once were.
Luke started taking better care of his curls when Carter moved away so he always had something on him that reminded him of her.
Luke and Carter have matching rings they found on a day they spent just the two them before Luke went to collage and Carter left for the Regina Pats.
Quinn figured out Carter’s feelings for Connor before she even did, He could tell from the way her eyes sparkle when she talked about Connor, they sparkle in a way they haven’t for anyone else.
Jack Hughes
Tumblr media
Carter and Jack were really close growing up in the same house but they both ended leaving home the same year and they didn’t stay as close.
Carter is Jacks favorite sibling and he tries to be a good big brother for her.
Jack was very proud when he started noticing how much Carter was good at playing in her position in hockey having chosen the same as him.
Jack will call or text Carter after a game he felt like he did a bad job and ask for her opinion knowing Carter plays in the same position and will truthfully tell Jack if he had a bad game or if he was overthinking it.
They both hate texting and being on their phones so to keep more in contact they will play game pigeon instead.
The two rarely call but now with Luke living with Jack, when Luke and Quinn facetime the other two just walk into the frame and talk to each other then.
Carter always grew up wearing 8 and Jack always 6 so Jack chose 86 for her and when Carter got to the NHL she chose 86 for Jack.
When Jack got drafted to the NJ Devils, Carter started always having her nails always painted red and she excused herself when people asked that she just liked the color but really she kept her fingernails red as a reminder of her brother.
When she got drafted and she hadn’t told her family what her number was going to be so she got a matching bracket with her number for her and Jack then gave it to Jack to tell everyone what her number is. Jack will deny the tears that were in his eyes when it happened.
The Devils all knew about Carter before they even met her because Jack was always bragging like a proud big brother.
The first time Jack and Carter play against each other in a game, Carter used a moved she learned from Jack to score a goal and even though they were losing Jack couldn’t help but be proud of his sister.
Connor Bedard
Tumblr media
Carter and Connor are both more on the quiet side and when they met each other they immediately felt comfortable with one another.
Carter enjoys reading and Connor likes to rest his head in her lap and listen to her read.
Both of them moved from home to join the Pats and ended up living next to each other and spent basically every moment for two and half years with each other.
They were quarantined together so they got even closer during that time and they were quarantined in Sweden together and did everything together, school, eating, hockey and relaxing.
Carter and Conner life focus has always been hockey that they didn’t really care much about anything else, Connor told her one day he never had his first kiss and Carter hadn’t either so they shared this first kiss with one another.
Carter always has loved Kangaroos and Connor always calls Roo because of that.
Connor came to her draft to watch Carter on her big day.
Whenever he visits home it’s only a fifteen minute drive to where Carter lives in Vancouver and he always makes a drive to see her.
Connor is very superstitious about who touches his hockey stick but Connor had asked once for Carter to touch it before a game and He had an amazing game after so Connor never has any problems when Carter touching his Hockey stick before a game.
They both enjoy nature and like to find cool hikes to go on in different places.
Connor definitely face times Carter when he’s living alone and trying to cook for himself, Connor knowing Carter always found it hilarious how Connor was never good in the kitchen and usually made a disaster.
Truthfully it was love at first sight for them, both not even realizing what they felt for each other. Connor realized first what his feelings for Carter truly were and Carter took longer not wanting to think of what her feelings could be.
They both love the beach and if their in Chicago or Vancouver together, Carter and Connor they drive to the closet beach and sit in the sand together just listing to the waves.
Carter had become an ambassador for Lululemon very early on in her career and she recommended Connor as another ambassador for the company knowing how much he loves the brand and an excuse to see him more.
Cole Mcward
Tumblr media
Cole joined mid year of her rookie year and they became fast friends.
The two sit together on flights and ended up watching disney movies together while making threaded bracelet, bracelets that they made for everyone on the Canucks.
Cole also understands some flights Carter just needs to sit next to her big brother and cuddle up to him and he never has any problems with switching seats with Quinn.
A lot of the time the two end up working out together and gossiping.
Cole becomes good friends with Connor from the amount of times Connor has been facetiming Carter when Cole is there.
Carter shows Cole around to some of the places she found in Vancouver when he first moved so he could feel more comfortable in his new home.
During warmups they are always messing around with each other, skating circles around each other, pretending to use their hockey sticks as air guitar as they listen to music.
Carter and Cole have both laughed way too many times during meetings and now aren’t allowed to sit next to each other.
The two are very chaotic together and stress out Quinn a lot.
Trevor Zegras
Tumblr media
Trevor has always treated Carter like a younger sister having basically lived with them for a few years so he saw her grow up quite a bit.
Trevor surprised Carter with tickets to Era’s tour for them and Jamie and Alex to all go together.
Carter usually spend the night at Trevor’s after a Canucks and Kings game catching up.
Carter ends up becoming close with Jamie as well because you can’t be friends with Trevor and not become friends with Jamie.
Trevor has always understood that Carter is a more of quiet person and there’s been many times where he’s just sat next to her in silence, something he wouldn’t do for anyone else.
Trevor is a big physical touch perosn so he felt very honored when Carter fell asleep against him the first time, knowing she only does that with people she trusts.
Trevor was offended when he found out Alex took her to get her first tattoo and took Carter to get her second tattoo.
Trevor once checked his own teammate when they smashed Carter into the board being so protective of her he forgot that it was has his own teammate.
Alex Turcotte
Tumblr media
They met each other by Jack introducing them and Alex immediately “claimed” Carter as his adopted child.
Alex made sure he was at the 2022 NHL draft to support Carter’s big day.
Carter has always loved flowers and Alex suprised her by having her favorite flower added to his arm of tattoo’s.
The two FaceTime at least once a week just gossiping with each other.
He’s one of the few that knows how much of a hard time Carter had when she moved away from all her family alone at 15, being thousands of miles from most of her family.
Alex took her to get her first tattoo when she turned 18.
Carter will always send him pictures of her outfits knowing Alex will tell her the honest truth if they look good or not.
The first time they play against each other on the ice and in a real game, Carter jokingly pushed him but Alex didn’t realize and completely tripped to the floor and Carter couldn’t stop her self from laughing which made Alex burst out laughing as well and the two were laughing in the middle of their hockey game.
Adam Fantilli
Tumblr media
They played together for a little while with Connor and became pretty good friends.
Adam and his brother Luca are good friends with Luke so they have been the lake house many times and Adam and Carter always hang out.
Even thought they are a year apart Adam looks up to Carter like older sister.
Adam has gone to Carter many times with girl problems or flirting advice wanting to know from a girls perspective instead of his brother.
Adam had Carter’s name on his vest for the draft as well, Making sure to remember all the times she stayed late after practice with him because he wanted to keep working and she was the captain and wasn’t going to leave her teammate all alone.

WITH I.O.I.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jung Sora was an I.O.I. member from 2016 to 2017, being placed at number two in the survival show Produce 101. She was the maknae, lead dancer, and a vocalist.
Coming from Cre.Ker Entertainment, her first evaluation performance was Becky G’s Shower and she was placed in rank A. Throughout the show, the lowest number she was placed was two and switched between place one and two, constantly ‘battling’ Jeon Somi for number one.
Despite being the youngest on the show, she was well loved by the public who were captivated by her Golden Girl image, dance and vocals.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH I.O.I.
NAYOUNG
SHIP NAME soyoung
One of Sora’s very first older sisters.
Sora was lowkey scared of her and avoid her because of her ‘cold’ image but Nayoung was persistent in letting her know she could rely on her because Sora was just so tiny and alone, she needed someone to look out for her. Which was what Nayoung did.
Nayoung’s always been Sora’s voice of reason, her number one protector. Sora doesn’t think there will ever be another Nayoung for her.
A popular moment between them is Nayoung gently directing Sora on how to do something, many fans talking about how patient and kind she was with her.
As of 2024, Nayoung and Sora aren’t as close as they used to be. They’re at two different points in their lives, and their bond is still there, but they’ve faded away from one another. They still check on one another, congratulate each other’s comebacks, and talk in the group-chat with the I.O.I. members.
CHUNGHA
SHIP NAME chora
If Nayoung is her protector, Chungha is her defender. She’s always on Sora’s side, honestly— her and Nayoung practically raised that girl. Chungha is always there for Sora, and somehow always knows when something is wrong, even miles apart.
Sora was at first intimidated by her, but Chungha wanted to protect her from the world immediately, and like Nayoung, didn’t give up. Their friendship is more like of younger sister teasing older sister and making trouble for her.
Sora would practice her English with Chungha, and Chungha always looked so proud whenever she spoke English. Back then, her English was not as good as it was now.
A popular moment between them is Sora being so excited to see Chungha during Sparkling and Pass the Mic promotions every day.
As of 2024, Sora and Chungha are often in contact and both always make sure to promote each other. Sora often mentions her (as well as the others) in her lives when she’s telling stories.
SEJEONG
SHIP NAME sojeong
Sora was both envious and in awe of Sejeong. She just thought she was the perfect woman. Sejeong really saw her and had to take a double take, thinking she was a really short girl until she saw her face.
Sejeong was determined to help Sora, knowing it must be hard for a young girl like her to be surrounded by everyone older.
These two didn’t get close until they started practicing for Very Very Very, Sejeong just thinking she’s the best thing. Sejeong very much fawns over her all the time. She always feeds into her antics, she can’t help it. She can’t say no.
A popular moment between them is Sejeong pinching Sora’s cheeks in 2016 and again in 2023 when Sejeong promoted Voyage and Top or Cliff during Sora’s emcee time.
As of 2024, like most members, they’re at different points in their lives and aren’t as close as they were. They talk one-on-one sometimes but it’s mostly through the group-chat.
CHAEYEON
SHIP NAME chaera
Sora was actually a fan of DIA before Produce 101, so she was really excited to meet one of her favorite idols. Until she actually met her and was so nervous she just stood there not saying anything while other trainees talked, staring at Chaeyeon when she wasn’t looking. There’s a compilation on YouTube of Sora staring at Chaeyeon during I.O.I. and Produce 101.
Chaeyeon thought she was adorable, but that was pretty much it. She didn’t exactly want to be friends with a thirteen year old. Sora was more than fine with that, though, even if she did want to be her friend at least a little. As the show went on, Chaeyeon grew to really respect her and her desire to debut.
Chaeyeon always cheered her on and would treat her like a younger sister, letting her try out makeup looks on her since that was what she was most interested in at the time besides being an idol. Chaeyeon also gave her lots of girl advice, little hacks here and there. Definitely the cool unnie.
A popular moment of them is Chaeyeon telling Sora during their last concert, “Sora-ah, never change. You’re perfect the way you are, and you’ll only get better from now. Unnie will always cheer you on from afar, okay?” before breaking down in cheers.
As of 2024, they don’t talk very much one-on-one besides for birthdays and achievements. They mostly interact through the group-chat.
PINKY / KYULKYUNG
SHIP NAME sopink
Kyulkyung tried hard to be Sora’s friend, always managing to make her laugh in tough times. It took multiple times for them to actually be friends, though, as Sora was just generally more shy around older people. Kyulkyung knew to never take it offensively as Nayoung told her.
Sora admired her bravery to express herself but was jealous of how easily it came to her. Nayoung was the reason they got as close as they ever did.
Their relationship is more of a teasing one, where Kyulkyung provokes her to get a reaction out of her. She’d always pull Sora into trouble, which in return made a habit of Sora’s for making trouble.
A popular moment is Kyulkyung teasing Sora for a crush in her school she used to have while live.
As of 2024, Kyulkyung is always in China and Sora is always everywhere else. They’re both very busy so they don’t really talk one-on-one but do interact in the group-chat.
SOHYE
SHIP NAME soso
They were both awkward with one another throughout the show, but as time went on, it got way better. Sora thought she was so funny as she was always clumsy, and Sohye thought she was a really good dancer.
They became better friends when Sora offered to help Sohye with the choreo for a song they were paired together with. Sohye was very appreciative, especially after her rank went up after the performance.
Sora didn’t have it in her to speak up against the older trainees when one may have said something bad about her, but she’d always make sure to comfort her and just give her a space to vent.
A popular moment is when Sora defending Sohye when people make jokes about her dancing, saying she’s improved a lot.
As of 2024, they only talk through the group-chat and only wish each other happy birthdays one-on-one.
YEONJUNG
SHIP NAME yeonra
Sora thought she was so fucking cool. She wanted to be her so bad. She inspired her a lot. Yeonjung thought she was the sweetest thing who could do no wrong but was quickly proved wrong when Sora showed her true colors off camera. She thought it was funny and that Sora reminded her of herself.
Yeonjung would always be by her side when the other girls were off doing something else, not even having to say anything, just standing there with her.
Yeonjung is more soft with her than anything, always babying her despite Sora’s insistence she stops. She still teases her, but it’s all in good fun.
A popular moment is Yeonjeong hitting an impressive high note and the camera panning to Sora who looked surprised and awed.
As of 2024, Sora constantly plays WJSN’s songs despite their hiatus and bugs Yeonjung for updates on a comeback while Yeonjung always teases her about ENHYPEN babying her.
YOOJUNG
SHIP NAME yoora
Cat and mouse duo. Yoojung loves to chase for Sora’s affection and to baby her, but Sora lowkey likes the chase. It makes her feel wanted.
Yoojung does everything she can to make Sora laugh, it’s a win in her book. She’d often fight with another member to have Sora sit next to her.
Sora always makes fun of the fact that she’s now taller than her, even if it’s just an inch.
A popular moment is Yoojung and Sora accidentally kissing when Yoojung tries to sneak a kiss on her cheek and Sora turns her head at the exact same time.
As of 2024, they don’t talk every day, but it’s once or twice a week. Sora is a huge Weki Meki fan, and is always willing to listen to her talk about anything. Sora always threatens to b*rn Fantiago down for her.
MINA
SHIP NAME somina
Sora thought Mina was around her age, not a 1999 liner so she was really shocked when she found out. She was so adorable she couldn’t help but think it.
Mina was really easy to get along with, so Sora easily befriended her early in the show. To Mina, Sora was like the little sister she never wanted but loved.
Sora also thinks she’s easy to make fun of, always giggling but comforting Mina when she cried.
A popular moment is when Mina’s departure from being an emcee, Sora was there and gave her a dessert and a hug.
As of 2024, Sora is very supportive of Mina (and everyone else’s!) dramas and always watches them in her free time. They still play games together in their free time, but other than that, everything is mostly in the group-chat.
DOYEON
SHIP NAME soyeon
As of 2024, they mostly talk in the group-chat or always say hi to one another when Yoojung and Sora are calling.
Sora was shaking and blushing so hard when they first met, Doyeon was so concerned. Yes, that did go viral. Sora thought Doyeon was gorgeous, but was also intimidated by it so besides the greeting, she’d turn to talk to another trainee.
Honestly, Doyeon thought Sora disliked her at first and was like “What the hell did I do for this kid to hate me?” So it was really awkward for awhile until while preparing for Whatta Man.
They discovered they had a lot in common. Some things they liked to do with one another was watch movies, specifically horror movies together.
A popular moment is Sora snuggling into Doyeon when it was cold outside and Doyeon held her close in her jacket. One of the main reasons being for their height difference.
As of 2024, Doyeon wouldn’t relent on letting Sora getting too busy for her and so they talk almost as much as Sora and Yoojung do, mostly because they live together.
SOMI
SHIP NAME sorami
Mnet portrayed the two as rivals so well that it affected their friendship. They were friends before the first episode aired, and as time went by with Mnet’s evil editing and pitting them against one another, Sora genuinely began disliking her and vice versa.
It took a heavy toll on their friendship, and as Produce 101 got closer to ending, they both grew very sickened at being pit against each other and just missed their friendship. Sora missed Somi’s weird antics, Somi missed her teasing but sweet nature.
Sora prefers to keep her friendship with Somi more laidback and fun, so she very rarely tells her any harsh problems, but she knows Somi is always there to lend an ear to and vice versa.
A big moment for them is the last episode of Produce 101, they’re waiting for the second place to be called. Sora’s name is called for second place, both girls burst into tears and turn to hug each other at the same time. Both girls just felt so much relief that it was finally over.
As of 2024, Somi is one of Sora’s closest girl friends, and vice versa. These two are constantly seen hanging out and doing TikToks together.
Tumblr media
It was very hard for honestly all of them to disband, but especially Sora. She had nothing to go back to, the people she talked to the most at her company was male trainees that were all three years and more older than her and she was shyer around men. The other female trainees were all older than her or leaving.
Sora doesn’t like being vulnerable in front of other people, but she cried so hard during their last concert despite trying to hold it in. She’s since gotten better. They still talk in their group-chat, and Sora refers to them as her members still, despite being in ENHYPEN as well. They will always be close to her heart as they all helped shaped her into who she was.
Unfortunately, the last time Sora saw the full group altogether in person was as when they were moving out of their dorm. Sora didn’t get to attend the I.O.I. reunion due to conflicting schedules of Drunk-Dazed promotions but did face-time the group. She didn’t even get to go to I.O.I.’s Christmas dinner in 2023.

Red Sun of Dorne
Part 1: I Choose Family
<- 1 1.5 ->
Tumblr media
Warning: not proof read (truthfully it was written in one go on phone- XD) and English is not my first language.
Note (?): self indulgent ~? I just got bored and was thinking about how itd feel to be held in the crossfire of the shitshow that is Rhaenyra’s and Alicent’s relation. I put “Y/N” but she’s Aemyra Targaryen. She’s Princess Consort of Dorne, wife of Qoren Martell and Rhaenyra’s younger twin sister. She doesn’t really like Daemon if it ain’t Obvious since his war is the reason she married in the first place and he’s a power hungry wolf.
Oh and yn is pregnant with her fifth child in this work😃
Tumblr media
“ENOUGH !” The thunderous pain and anger propelled in the hall slowly sinking into its occupent. “Why must you pull and tug and prey on each other ?” She continued, almost spitting the question.
The last of old Valerya was assembled into the room, sharing blood, name and home yet hurting one another carelessly. The seven above could testify of it, Alicent’s maddening pain or Rhaenyra’s seemingly collected attitude, thought it was all but a facade, while Lucerys was coddled in her side : it all made sense but what led up to it did not. Y/n loved her sister dearly, they used to do everything together. They’re were girls together alongside with Alicent but she couldn’t recognize any of them in this situation.
Tumblr media
It had been such a long day, it had been such long Years leading to this day. Yet as time went by everything seemed to get worse when Yn prayed daily for the opposite . The stranger took so much and so fast : her mother Aemma, her friend Ser Harwin Strong and then their cousin Laenna whom they gave to the sea this morning only, lost to the tragedy that plagues every woman’s heart though the Velaryon Princess chose a most brave end.
Laenna was gone and Daemon left his daughter’s side the moment the coffin hit the water, leaving the twins to their thoughts and if Rhaenyra did send her son to consol them : it was not his place to do so. Their father should’ve but lamentably failed that duty too.
So Y/n spent the remaining on the day by the girls side, consoling the young princesses as the sun rose and fell from the skies. She loved her cousin with whom she sometimes seemed to share more similarities then her own twin sister. The sweet girls were truly without a mother on this day and y/n’s heart couldn’t help but ache thinking that they also lacked a father. Daemon had never been up to the task in her opinion, her uncle was many things but his lust for power and ambitions made it impossible to ever consider him suited for family.
How harsh was the world to let this happen ? Truly, it had been unfair to such a strong soul to leave this early, only to be remembered by the few who actually cared as it was painfully clear that not everyone in attendance grieved her dear cousin.
After dark, princess Y/n retreated to her appartements after wishing a good night to Baela and Rhaena before leaving her own children, Viseryon Visenya, Aliandra and Coryanne, to their sworn protector’s care. Ser Carmin Gargalen kindly nodded at her exhausted form as he stood guard in front of their appartements after he watched as she laid soft kisses each their foreheads. “Are you sure your needn’t me to walk you to your apartments, Princess ?” He asked in carful worry but Yn insisted that walking alone would do her some good.
Tumblr media
As the handmaidens helpd her out of her dress and into a nightgown, Yn exhaled in relief, pressure exerted on her swollen abdomen proved harder then she expected after three relatively easy pregnancies. This one surely was different and different worried her.
The girls chatted away about the events of the day, and slowly her mind drifted away. Far into her past, recalling events that still held tremendous weight over her despite what y/n liked to think. She laid in bed, now trying to recall her mother. Oh how Aemma was sweet, always welcoming her into a hug when she’d complain about a prank Rhaenyra played on her. Finding the right words to convince her to forgive the mischievousness of her twin sister. How both girls would ride their dragons with their mom in sight, races though prohibited were somehow overlooked in this blissful instants above the clouds.
Their Queen Mother was her greatest support at court when people viewed her every move with scorn. She was the second princess after all, a waste opportunity of a boy. And even if he never voiced it aloud, King Viserys had a certain way in which he looked at her sometimes making the girl she was shamefully advert her eyes. But Aemma lover her anyways “I’ll give you a brother soon anyway sweet girl, you needn’t worry about court. You’re of me, and nothing will ever change that fact.” She reassured her then that even if that wasn’t ment to be, she would still be free and accepted, loved. Her dear daughter.
The smile slyly crawling on her face fell at the remembrance of how it all went wrong. Their mom died while birthing their promised brother who shortly followed her on the pyre and the Keep became solemn and silent safe for prayers, during that time Rhaenyra showed to be her biggest support. Mutually clinging onto , and solely to, each other if not to their friends Alicent whom was brought to court by the Hand.
Shortly after that however, Alicent became queen and Y/n could only watch as their tight trio imploded with both parties forcing her to pick a side. Sure Rhaenyra was forced into this world before she did but many at court knew Y/n to be much more mature then the Heiress. They were not girls anymore and at that time she did wonder how was it that Rhaenyra thought of their friend’s marriage with their father any of her own doing.
Women never had a choice at the Keep and whispers she heard across the halls supported the theory that indeed it was the same all across westeros.
Y/n kept her friendship with Alicent as intact as the new power imbalance allowed it and cherished her new siblings like she did Rhaenyra. Though the fondness she held for the babes, for the adorable Aegon and the ever so sweet Helaena, was maybe a tad sweeter. And in turn she saw how her twin distanced herself from their growing family. Their father silently watching as it all got worse did nothing but allow her every wishes in hope of appeasing her.
Then Aemond came, he became yet another disappointment to Rhaenyra and another reason for lords to contest her claim to the iron throne . Seing her sister being pushed and pulled across court by silent whispers over her succession had proven to be hard enough for the calmer twin to verbally intercede. In the same year, their uncle reportedly won the Stepstones and by doing so inadvertently signed Yn’s own doom.
She was betrothed to do the donnish prince, Qoren, quickly after to strike a peace. The mad man refused Rhaenyra when presented the idea but asked for Y/n’s instead as she was the next best thing without having to bring his realm under Targaryen dominion. Politic, in which she became most proefissent later, was at its finest and where it belonged : at the center of her life. The princess didn’t want to leave, she’d never seen Sun spear before. And leaving her twin felt wrong when court was slowly turning on her.
But Yn went. She had no choice, and oh, how it felt lonely at first though ravens were of help and y/n could meet with Rhaenyra on their respective dragons halfway : it was never long enough, never as good as sneaking onto her twin’s bed when a certain matter troubled her or to sit in the silence of Maegor’s Holdfast to spend time together away from the bustling of the castle. Not like home. But home was wherever Rhae was anyways.
The births of their respective children made the sister’s bond tighter. Motherhood did to them what it broke for Rhaenyra and Alicent and for that Yn was ever grateful. Rhae flew to her at the new of the twins birth, and she did the same for Jace’s a year later celebrating her sister’s joy despite the leeching eyes of Westerosi nobility attached to the boy’s hair. It was then that y/n grasped the true extent of the situation. Then that she first tasted Alicent’s resentment and bitterness.
From then the drift in her family grow deeper and larger slowly changing into a high cliff. And now it has come to this.
Still in her thoughts, it took an urgent call of her name through the doors to get her to jolt out of bed. Covering her form with a golden shawl, gift from her lord husband, Yn hurried to the door with some minor inconvenience revealing a maid, agitated “Something happened to the princes” said the girl without looking into her princess’s eyes and fearing the worse : Yn took off, to the children.
Tumblr media
She got there just before her sister did, giving her enough time to asses the situation after making sure that non of her three children were hurt, finding that the eldest,Visenya, and youngest Corryanne were still in bed. There has been a fight between Rhaenyra’s boys, Daemon’s girls and her little brother : Aemond. Whilst they all tried to defend their innocence, yn silently checked Luke’s nose before taking in the state of Aemond.
Aliandra came with Baela and Rhaena, roping her older brother in with them and he claimed having followed to insure his younger sister wouldn’t cause trouble without waking his twin or baby sister up. It took some convincing for Ser Carmin to let them go in favor of n looking over the eldest princess.
When the fight broke out her son tried to separate theirs cousins and uncle while Aliandra held on Rhaena. Both were fine, a bit ruffled up but infinitely better than Aemond.
Alicent was at her son’s side too, understandably inconsolable, and offered her a painful look that yn couldn’t decipher when her sister finally graced them with her presence shortly followed by their uncle sporting a triumphing smirk that made the Dornish Princess Consort’s insides turn.
He did not even make an attempt at looking at his daughters. He did not care, much too absorbed by basking in the afterglows whatever disgusting affairs he and her sister were engaging into before hand.
And it all became a blur off accusations, shouting and an hostility so thick you could almost taste it in the air. Her father obviously siding with her sister on the matter, the heiress demanding explications and the queen reparations. Each word, each second made her sicker. And when Alicent launched at Rhaenyra, she screamed, startling the children she was standing next to.
Their Children got hurt for the seven’s sake ! And yet they were bickering. The sole sight of it proving enough to prompt the most out of character reaction from her.
Tumblr media
The remains of the loud “ENOUGH!” echoed in the room as eyes slowly rested on her and her family. The silent princess. The accepting one. The sent away. Thrown Princess, sold to a peace crafted by her own blood. She’d been it all, and silence showed it self to be unnefficient. “Why must you pull and tug and prey on each other ?” she finally croaked making her way to the women in the center of the room.
Defiance evident in her eyes and anger burning in her heart, “Won’t you answer ?” She looked at Rhaenyra then Alicent who looked as they just saw the stranger’s shadow somewhere on her. But before her sister could ask her whatever she ment by those words yn made in clear. “I am asking why you must take offense in a truth muttered in you presence for years when it is spoken by a child when every kid and lady of the keep as proudly making it a subject to discuss over tea? Why did make an enemy out of a friend when you knew she had no part in the fault you hold against her ?” Yn pressed while slowly worming her hand over the dagger in a manner Alicent mistook for reassurance.
The questions did enough to startle her twin, maybe hearing such words from an otherwise silent observator came to a surprise. But the princess of DragonStone was quick to regain her composure despite the hesitation in her eyes when they met Y/n « Whatever do you mean, Idaña (twin)? » she whispered under her breath. « I did not know you blind, Yn » she continued hurt having replaced the hesitation.
“I am everything but, haēdar(sister). Merely stating the truth.” Yn’s words held some of the sadness evident in the eyes mirroring her sister’s. “It used to be so much simpler, it could’ve stayed that way if you only saw that she wanted non of it.” She whispered in a broken tone only to be heard by the two other woman. Alicent, privy to this exchange, was still as a stone. Now sobered of her mad anger, her grip on the dagger lessened and her eyes swelled of tears she though she did not have left after crying over her son’s maimed state. Rhaenyra on the other hand wanted no part of this, feeling her twin, the other part of herself siding with her declared enemy, but that same sister’s hand, now firmly around the blade made quick work of it, successfully disarming her friend-stepmother to the assembly’s surprise. When the loud sound of metal colliding with the ground signaled that she’d threw the weapon far from the three of them . It somehow eased Rhaenyra’s feelings as she threw a content look at Alicent.
With both hands free now, Yn held the two opponent’s hands in each of hers, drawing in a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “I know that what we had is long gone.” She started in a whisper, slightly squeezing their hands. “But let’s not draw the children into this, please. None of them asked for this climate, they are entitled to a family too. Like you and I were sweet sister.” Yn finally looked at Rhaenyra in search of something, of her sister. Not the princess, not the heir. Her sister. Her twin.
Yet Rhaenyra’s eyes wouldn’t meet hers, fixedly staring at their hands. Yn’s words found their target in her heart yet Rhaenyra slept her hand out of her sister’s, bringing it to her sides to hold on her dress. A movement known by sun and Alicent as one of uneasiness.
“Why must you side against me dearest ?” She finally spoke, eyes moist and now drilling holes at her sister. “Can’t you see what is laid plainly for us ? Or is it that your Dornish stay hardened your heart to the matters of this family?” How could she said that to her ?
“Rhaenyra.” Scolded the distant voice of their father. But the sisters where indeed at a stalemate. Rhaenyra blinding herself to Yn’s words and hurting her in ways she knew would wound her.
And as expected by the princess, Yn’s heart throbbed menacing to shatter. Alicent, now the only one holding her hand squeezed it tightly earning her a deadly glare from Rhaenyra before Yn could shake her friend’s hand off like it burned her.
She wasn’t crying like Rhaenyra though she would, knew she would if she was anything like she remembered her sister to be in their teens. No, she was angry, hurt indeed, but anger was far stronger, morphing her beautiful face into a frightening piece of art.
“To hell with your sides Rhaenyra.” She spat making the Heiress flinch at the use of her name in such uncharacteristically cold manner. “This is not about you nor is it about you my Queen.” She quickly presided. “Children were hurt in a querelle that had no reason to be in the first place. Had you. And you, cared and done better.” She finally adressed Alicent.
It was true, they could hate each other but cousins were ment to spend time and entitled to chance to like each other. In any other familial setting it is what would’ve happened but instilling disdain, mistrust and hate for one another only pushed the younger generation further appart. Weakening the once strong house of the dragons. Her right hand softly lended on her stomach for confort but equally remind the participants of this masquerade her very pregnant state.
“How do you see this family, if it is indeed still one, keep itself afloat id it’s Pilars are constantly digging at each other ? Acting like enraged, selfish children is no act of a queen. Not of a mother.” Yn pressed. “Does this place, this hour, this very DAY seem to both of you appropriate for squabbles ?” She asked but wasn’t waiting for an answer. “Your reconciliation is a dream far gone, but don’t sacrifice your children to a petty querelle. You were friends once and now you are family independently from your liking. I do not pick sides as there is none. And if there were, I would side in favor of my family and whatever is left of it.”
Finally, her voice stopped, the fire of words extinguished by exhaustion. Cracked at the end too. “You are mine, Idaña, you are me. And how I love you. But this can’t keep happening, I’ll not allow it, nor will my heart bear to see it.” She almost broke then and there but manage to fight back tears as she slowly turned away, walking hands extended torwards her children who hurriedly joined her linking their hands to their mother’s.
Silently, the trio made its way to the door, and not once did Yn look back at Rhaenyra. To scared of finding herself on the receiving end of one of her contempt filled gazes. On their way tot he door, guards and the block which regrettably became known as the « blacks » in her prolonged absence, all parted to let them out of this wretched scene.
Her father made an attempt at calling her but YN paid no mind, tis was all but a show she hated the notion of being associated with. And her father was the unassuming maestro to this broken symphony : she’d never been mad before and in turn he never really cared to consult her. Not once in the decade following her Mother’s death has he tried with her. And tonight wouldn’t be any different.
Daemon did sustain the heat of her gaze though, with a smirk : how character appropriate. But he deserves no mention as he substantially did not move from his place even a minute. He found his niece’s wrath to be most interesting though, in light of the novelty of it. Finally she was channeling the dragon burning in her he thought as she walked past him, face hardened and hands impossibly thigh around her children’s.But she paid no mind.
The dornish Prince and Princess’s timidly looked back at the room as their mother was leading them out in silence. Aliandra met her Aunt’s eyes who mirrored the hurt apparent in her mother’s while Vyserion noted the awkward fiddling of the queen’s hands as the doors closed behind them.

thinking about the lipschitz family now.
(this isn’t including a trans richie. not because i don’t love that headcannon, but bc i forgot about it until i was halfway in)
- eloise and david started dating when they were 15
- they both were planning on leaving hatchetfield for college but staying together, until eloise got pregnant. with twins.
- so neither of them went to college, and they moved in with david’s parents, since he was an only child and she had two little brothers. (one of whom is paul matthews but don’t worry about that)
- they find out that they’re having twins and they are going crazy. david gets a few part time jobs to pay for all the shit, like her hospital bills, baby clothes, shit like that.
- she gives birth to trevor, and several hours later, richie. the two are identical twins.
- over the next three years, things are hard for them, as the boys grow up and the two work a lot.
- richie and trevor spend a lot of those with their grandparents and uncles, because eloise and david are constantly working.
- especially bc they were born in 2003 and so an economic crisis is almost here! so the little family lives with their grandparents for a long time.
- when he’s 5, richie gets an ear infection that leaves him partially deaf. they all learn sign language and make sure ur doesn’t progress, but they don’t have the money to get him a hearing aid or anything the like.
- at 6, trevor has so many friends. he has play dates all the time, and richie goes with him, but richie doesn’t really have friends. he has a hard time talking to the other kids, prefers to play by himself of with his hands.
- richie gets an autism diagnosis at 7, and they decide to ask trevor some question too. he does not have autism, which can happen for identical twins, i looked it up.
- when he’s 8, richie makes his first friend. peter spankoffski, who becomes a permanent very quickly. richie spends a lot of time at peter’s house, or his older brother’s apartment, and peter spends a lot of time at their house. trevor plays with them, but usually doesn’t want to go with richie to peters.
- eloise and david get married when the boys are 9, when they realize ‘oh yeah, we never did that. maybe we should!’ it’s a very small thing, since they don’t have that much money, but all of their families are invited, and they have an excellent time. richie and trevor are the ring bearers.
- trevor joins the school play when he’s 10, and absolutely loves it. he has trouble with his lines, but he makes a great abraham lincoln, and he’s cute enough that no one in the audience cares if he screws up the gettysburg address. he wants to do more of it now.
- richie starts watching obs ute tv shows and loving them. he becomes obsessed with anime and japanese culture.
- the two both have overactive sweat glands, but trevor wears a shit ton of axe body spray to hide it. richie says it hurts his nose. the two fight across the dinner table about it.
- the thing is, richie and trevor are very very different. trevor is an outgoing theatre kid and richie is a nerdy weeb, but they are brothers and the love each other a lot even when they pretend not to.
- they share a room for most of their life, up until they’re 13, when they finally move out of their grandparents house. they get a house for the four of them, which is two doors down from the flemming house. ruth and richie quickly become good friends. ruth and peter are apparently in the same dance group, so it’s all fun and friendship.
- they reach high school and go their separate ways, socially. trevor will talk to richie in the hall ways, but he’s a theatre kid and has theatre friends, and richie’s a nerd. ruth’s a theatre kid too, but she thinks trevor is fucking annoying, so she prefers to hang out with richie.
- when the boys are 14, they get a little sister. piper lipschitz. richie is a big protector of her, and swears to look out for her. trevor thinks she’s fun to play with, and messes around with her a lot as she grows up.
- at 17, richie starts dating travis coulson, a friend who goes to sycamore and works at the cineplex. they have a very akward family dinner and trevor makes fun of them a lot.
- at 18, trevor goes to sweden on exchange and comes back with a boyfriend. rudolph comes to america in exchange right after, and they go to homecoming together. they have an akward family dinner with lots of language barriers, since trevor only knows half swedish and rudolph only knows half english. it works well for the two of them, but with the whole family it’s kind of a mes. richie laughs mercilessly at them.
-when the boys graduate, richie is going to film school in boston and trevor is going to theatre school in ny. they hug very hard before they have to go.
these are my thoughts about them following jons stream ty

twrphalloween prompt : demons & angels
|| for @teenwolfrarepairevents event
|| tags : hayden/theo, angel!hayden, demon!theo, Clark is missing, demons have fangs & glowing eyes bc I said so, same with angels being able to see peoples souls
“Y’know, I think it’s brave of you to come here.” Theo’s voice drawls with a gravely sound that sends a shiver down Hayden’s spine.
“And why’s that?” She speaks with her chin up, trying not to show nervous she really is being in this part of town. It’s almost solely run by demons, aside from the occasional ghoul and other creatures crawling around late at night.
“Your type usually stays as far away as they can.” He sits in front of Hayden, fangs showing in his smirk, eyes flaring red when she lets out a small breath. Just being in this bar is making her grace feel shaky, all the darkness swirling around is almost suffocating the golden light that shines brightly from Hayden at all times.
“I need help with something.” Maybe Theo can be the one to help her, he seems trustworthy despite his demon status.
“And what does the lady in white need help with?” One of Theo’s hands trails up Hayden’s arm, his skin is hot, she assumes any creature from hell feels just as warm, but she wouldn’t know. This is the first time she’s so much as looked towards a demon, her sister told her to stay away from them as they posed a threat and might try to manipulate her, but Clark isn’t here. That’s the entire problem.
“My sister, she’s missing. Taken I think.” A low hum leaves the back of Theo’s throat, his fingers trace up towards Hayden’s exposed collarbones from her tight white dress, it almost burns when his fingertip touches her skin, leaving behind a small smudge of black ash.
“Who would want to take your sister?” His eyes don’t meet Hayden’s as he talks, too focused on his hand moving across her body. She lets him touch her, lets him stare, she can sense there’s no ill-intent behind the motion and instead a genuine curiosity. He doesn’t know it but it’s blooming around his soul, the small pink light gleaming within the black of the rest of his soul is something that makes Hayden smile. He’s not beyond saving if he still has a soul.
“I think a creature from the sea realm, Clark would travel there to bring their weak protection.” Her sister has always been a protector, strong and loyal, putting herself in harms way to save others no matter what.
“A real saving grace?” There’s lines of black dust on each of Hayden’s collarbones when she looks down, some of it has fallen to her dress, she feels no need to brush it away. The ash is such a contrast to what she’s used to that she almost wants to get lost in it, she’ll have to come back once Clark is found to delve more into that.
“She can be, very strong willed. Do you know of anyone that can help me find her?” Theo leans back in his chair and hums before picking up his glass from the bar top, it’s filled with murky brown liquid, Hayden’s never seen a drink look so thick.
“I can. I have people I can call to help us, Tracy’s a siren and knows the water realm well, Josh can call in favors from people he knows if need be, and I have a group of fighters I can call upon if needed.”
“You’re a leader?” The demon leaders are said to be the fiercest, many believe archangels hold that title but Clark revealed the truth after Hayden had caught her exchanging letters with one of the demons that worked beside a leader.
“Only to my own, they’re trustworthy. We will find your sister, I can promise it.” He says without room for argument, Hayden trusts it.

🌙Moon’s Light | JJK🌙
Tumblr media
Synopsis: Luna is a young paralegal trying to maintain her new found independence and enjoy life. Too bad her job sucks and her boss is the worst. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she encounters a vampire named Jungkook who changes her life in more ways than one.
Jungkook is a shield and protector of the vampire kingdom of Korealis. He’s trained his entire life to block out any and all distractions and focus solely on becoming the strongest. While investigating a potential threat to the kingdom, he encounters Luna who turns out to be more than he could have ever imagined. It becomes his job to protect her, but he can’t tell if what he’s feeling is his devotion to the job or perhaps something deeper.
Secrets are uncovered. Lives are on the line. Hearts are tested.
Pairing: Vampire!Jungkook x Fem!OC
Warnings: Violence, character death, eventual smut, tragedy, some angst, strong language, MINORS DNI
Previous chapter | Next chapter | Masterlist
|| Ch. 48: Closure ||
Nothing makes sense to Jungkook anymore. Everything he thought he knew has been shattered and he’s left in a void of confusing numbness.
He’s more than relieved to know that he’s not in trouble for Minseok’s actions. Being placed on leave was only for his safety and, now that he knows, he appreciates the King looking out for him.
Then his mind switches to pure confusion when he thinks of the King and his mom’s relationship. He knew they were friends, both families had been friends a long time. However he had no idea how close of friends they truly were.
Sunyoung finally sat down with Jungkook and explained the nature of her relationship with the King. They grew up together spending their younger years going to the same school and continuing to hang out with each other after they had finished school. Sunyoung knew the entire family before they were royals and the only reason why Minseok became the King’s “best friend” was through Sunyoung. In reality, Sunyoung is the King’s true best friend, basically his older sister and that’s why the King treats Jungkook almost as his own son.
Sunyoung used her ability to cover the King with protection after his father was killed. This, along with the King paying for and taking care of everything she needs including her home are the two best kept secrets that they’re only just now telling anyone about. They continued to take care of each other over the years without a soul knowing.
When she finally made the decision to leave Minseok and leave the palace, it was the most difficult thing she had to do. Her best friends and her family were all there and she’d be leaving to be on her own with no one. If it weren’t for the King she wouldn’t have anywhere to go. He even wrote a recommendation for her so she could get a good job. The only thing that made leaving her sons a little easier is the King vowing to continue looking after them. He wasn’t able to change Junghyun’s mind about moving out, but he still takes care of any and everything he needs while he’s living with Yoongi’s brother.
Another thing Jungkook needed answers for is Sunyoung’s power. It already blows his mind that his power comes from her in the first place, but he wants to know the full extent of her power. In exchange he revealed the full extent of his power to both her and Luna. It was a very enlightening and positive conversation.
Sunyoung left and returned home once the King was convinced that she wasn’t going to do anything that would get her in trouble. Luna and Jungkook remain at their temporary home as the operation into closing her portal is still going on. However, unlike before, they both feel much less on edge. Knowing Minseok is locked up and Jungkook is definitely not going to lose his job, they’ve been able to breathe a bit easier.
It’s been three days since the King came to tell them what was really going on. Jungkook says he’s ok now that everything has been resolved, but Luna doesn’t believe him. He dreams about Minseok. At times he’ll completely disconnect from everything and sit in a trance if something makes him think of Minseok. It happens multiple times a day. Luna knows he’s not truly ok. Not until he faces his feelings about his father.
The two of them are on the couch enjoying music after their dinner. Jungkook’s head is resting across Luna’s lap while she runs her fingers through his hair. Something that always comforts him when his mind wanders to things he doesn’t want to think of. Like Minseok. He tries to block it out, but Luna already caught a glimpse of him replaying the last conversation he had with Minseok in his head.
“Babe,” Luna says softly.
“Hm?” He hums still enjoying the feeling of her fingers tangled in his curly locks.
“Do you want to talk to him?”
“No,” he answers not needing to ask who she’s talking about.
“Don’t you want answers or some type of closure?”
“No,” he repeats.
“Jungkook-“
“No.”
“But you can’t stop thinking about him, I know you want some answers.”
“Can you not snoop on my memories?” He asks sitting up.
“Do you want me to pet you or not?”
He scrunches his face and pouts at her in displeasure. Yes he wants her to pet him. It feels good and he loves it. But he doesn’t want her trying to get him to face things he doesn’t want to face. He knows he’s being stubborn, he just wishes she would let him.
“I don’t want to talk to him,” he sighs. “I don’t need closure, I already got it when my mom confronted him.”
“That doesn’t count,” Luna says rolling her eyes. “You weren’t there and you weren’t able to get the answers that you know you want.”
“I feel like I may lose my job and my freedom if I confronted him.”
“Your mom was able to do it without getting in trouble, so can you. I’m sure she has many more reasons to turn him to dust and yet she was able to confront him and leave him alive.”
“I’m not my mom.”
“Then who are you? Your dad?”
“No,” he scoffs offended. “I don’t have a dad and I’m nothing like him.” The thought alone boils him inside, and no matter how much he tries to deny it, he’s still very much like his father in some ways.
Like the way he wants to rage right now just thinking of it. His father would rage without a second thought. Jungkook hates that. At one point in his life he was afraid of that. He’s been trained to keep his rage inside, and so he always has. At this point he has so much rage backed up in him that he has no doubt his power would kill Minseok and anyone within a 25 mile radius.
“I don’t know how she did it all of those years,” he whispers. “Holding it in is not good, so how could she just…” he trails off in thought.
“Ask her,” Luna encourages. “I’m sure she’d tell you so that you can maintain your temper the way she does.”
“I can’t believe you’re the one trying to give me advice about controlling my temper,” he chuckles.
“What are you trying to say?” She snaps.
“Nothing, LuLu,” he teases.
“If you want temper I’ll give it to you,” she growls through her teeth.
“You already do,” he giggles. “But really,” his voice turns stern. “I don’t want to talk to him. There’s nothing I want to say to him and nothing he says will change where he is.”
“If you say so,” she says knowing he’s lying.
He’s definitely lying. Each day that passes he wants more and more to confront Minseok. He knows he won’t be able to hold back when he sees him, so he needs advice from the only person who can give it.
After 4 and a half seemingly long weeks since the start of the operation, Luna’s portal is officially closed. There were no other lost Saakhan members left behind. The place was combed from top to bottom where they found much more evidence of their operations. Meanwhile, another team had the task of building a new, secure, and official portal between there and the kingdom. Everyone returned safely and Jungkook and Luna were taken back to the palace.
Jungkook is officially on duty again and he couldn’t be happier. The first thing he does upon returning is go see Jin, Namjoon, and Taehyung. They were the ones Jungkook couldn’t communicate with and though he may not openly admit it, he missed them.
Luna is also relieved, though it’s short lived when she realizes her job assignment has ended. She’s back to having nothing to do during the day and no source of income. It becomes more stressful when the day after they returned to the palace she learned that she got accepted into the law school she applied to when she was drunk with Jimin. She doesn’t want to say anything though because she’s sure she won’t be able to go. She closes out of the email congratulating her and says nothing of it. Even with a new job she wouldn’t have near enough saved by the time the term starts.
Jungkook had been keeping up with everything surrounding Minseok’s case. Shortly after returning to the palace he had to do an official interview with investigators to tell his side of things. It was a long and exhausting interview but in the end the only thing Jungkook could think about is how his mother is able to contain her anger and rage so well. Having to relive the moments with his father made him nearly lose himself a few times. After that grueling interview he knew he needed to talk to his mom.
A week after being back on duty, Jungkook wakes up early in the morning and immediately leaves to go to his mother’s house. He knows she normally wakes up early so he isn’t worried about waking her. Just as he expected he walks into the house and Sunyoung is in the kitchen preparing breakfast for herself.
“Don’t tell me you’re already in some type of trouble again,” she says when she notices him coming through the door.
“No,” he chuckles. “I just wanted to ask you something.”
“Oh?” She points to the chair at the kitchen table and pours him a cup of coffee. “What’s that?”
“How do you deal with your rage?” He asks cutting straight to the chase. “How do you want to kill him one second but still leave him alive in the end?”
“Are you having a hard time keeping yours contained?” She asks sitting across from him at the table.
“Well I haven’t done anything, but it’s getting harder,” he sighs. “You know the news said they found letters between him and his Saakhan partner? He’s really been doing this right under everyone’s noses. Fucking dishonorable trash.”
“Tokki,” Sunyoung says softly.
“How did you not kill him?” He asks again. “I want to make him suffer in the worst ways but I know I can’t do that. I can’t hold it in either, it’s not good. How do you do it?”
“I find ways of getting my revenge without causing a scene. Unleashing your rage doesn’t always have to be seen or felt by everyone else.” She takes a sip of her coffee and smiles. “I may not have killed him that day, but his clock is ticking.”
“What?” He asks tilting his head. “What did you do?”
“I kept my promise. And by now I know he’s feeling it.”
“Mom,” Jungkook raises his brow. “What did you do??”
“Your father enjoys attention. Everything has to be seen and felt by all. That’s not how I operate. My anger is only directed towards one person so I make sure that’s the only person who feels that wrath. Your father is-“
“Mom,” Jungkook interrupts. His face is twisted in displeasure and he shakes his head. “Please don’t call him that,” he says softly. “I have no father.”
Sunyoung nods in understanding. It had been a habit since the boys were born to say “your father” when talking to them about Minseok. After all of these years she simply forgot that she does it. To Jungkook, hearing Minseok being referred to as his father is like nails on a chalkboard. The pride he has for his job and his kingdom, and especially the royal family, makes him want nothing associating him with Minseok.
“I understand,” Sunyoung nods. “What I’m saying though, is you have to find ways to unleash your rage in ways that won’t put others in danger. You know yourself best, so what you do is your choice. Hojin calls me silent but deadly because he knows how I like to operate,” she smirks.
“Silent but deadly?” Jungkook thinks a moment trying to work out what that truly means.
“Let me show you.” Sunyoung gets up and grabs an apple off the counter then sits back down. She places the apple on the table in front of him. “What could you do to this apple that wouldn’t affect anything else around it?”
“I don’t know,” he shrugs. “I could set it on fire, but it might burn the table.”
“Get creative, Tokki. You know what you’re capable of, if nothing you can do will work then use your environment to your advantage.” She picks up the apple and holds it in front of his face. “You may not be able to poison a life form with one touch,” she says causing the apple to rot right in her hand. “But you can always do something.”
Jungkook thinks a bit trying to understand what she’s trying to say. He doesn’t have the ability to suck the life out of someone the way she can, but what else could he do that would ensure no one else is effected by his rage? After a moment he starts to think of something. He takes the rotten apple out of his mothers hand and stares at it a second.
“A controlled fire would still be too obvious,” he mumbles. “But…” he looks around. “My environment…”
Sunyoung silently nods allowing him to find the solution on his own. Jungkook sets the apple down on the table and gets up to grab a knife from the counter. He sits back down and stares at the knife.
“What if I just..” he trails off while safely holding the blade of the knife. After a moment the knife is glowing red hot from him transferring the heat from his internal fire to it. He puts the knife to the apple where it immediately burns through it turning every bit into ash without setting anything else on fire.
“Just like that,” Sunyoung nods. “You managed to turn that apple into nothing without harming anything else. It’s the same concept when it comes to your rage.”
“So as long as I find a way to unleash it low key and only direct it towards the one I’m angry with, then I won’t explode later on because I held everything in?” He asks.
“I guess that’s the basics of what I’m trying to say,” she chuckles. “But I don’t think that’s your only issue right now.”
“What do you mean?”
“Tokki, you know I absolutely understand why you have no desire to see or speak to Minseok, but I can tell that you need to.”
“Why do you think I need to?” He already knows the answer, but he’s choosing to play stubborn right now.
“The same reason why I needed to.” She gives him a knowing look hoping he takes the hint, but she should know her stubborn youngest better than that.
“To kill him?” He asks.
“No,” she sighs. “I mean maybe, but no that’s not what I mean.”
“Are you about to give me the same ‘you need closure’ speech Luna already gave me?” He sighs.
“Oh, so you’ve heard this all before?”
“Yes,” he groans.
“Good, then you’ll get to hear it again.”
“Mom no,” he protests. “I don’t need closure. I have closure. He’s locked up, and with all of the evidence he’ll be doing hard labor the rest of his life. That’s all the closure I need.”
“Are you sure?” She asks leaning in. “You truly feel like you don’t need to get any answers or explanations from him?”
“No,” he huffs annoyed. He hates the conversation. He hates the thought of seeing Minseok’s face again. He hates that he’s having to have this conversation with his mom after he’s already had to fuss at Luna to get her to drop the subject.
“Ok then,” Sunyoung says noticing his agitation. “Let me ask you one thing, and if you’re honest with me I won’t push the topic anymore.”
“Fine,” he mumbles. “What is it?”
“What part of all of this makes you the most upset? The fact that he used you this entire time and turned out to be the very type of evil he had been training you to stand up against, or the fact that any bit of hope you had for one day finally getting the father-son relationship you always wanted is now completely gone?”
Jungkook struggles to answer. He thought she would ask him something simple and that would be the end of it. Now he’s looking back at her fighting the urge to run and hide.
“Fuck,” he sighs. “What are you trying to get at?”
“I’m just asking you to be honest, that’s all.” She knew her question would hit him deep. All of these years providing refuge for Jungkook she knows more than anyone how much he’s always longed to have a father that actually behaved like one rather than a drill sergeant.
Even if he doesn’t say it directly, it’s clear in the many times he would ask Sunyoung why Minseok wouldn’t support any of his extracurricular activities the way other kids’ dads would do. The many times he would ask her if she knew what he could do to make Minseok proud. At the very least he would have liked to get a compliment, or simple encouraging words, or even just a smile from Minseok yet he never got any of it. Even until now Jungkook hasnt gotten a single word of praise. Not even a good job after Jungkook received the Medal of Honor. Sure Minseok was only pretending to be nice at the time, but he could have at least pretended to be proud of Jungkook.
The thought of all of this just angers Jungkook more. So much more. Minseok has always been a terrible father and couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to be a decent father. Not even for a minute. What type of person could be so cold to their own son yet expect perfection and in the end power from this son? He’s pissed again.
Sunyoung can see the conflict in his eyes. That’s exactly what she wanted. He’s too stubborn to simply do something because he’s being told, he has to come to the conclusion himself. She knows he’s upset that Minseok used him, but she knows he’s more upset about having to let go of his dream of having a loving father. She asked him this question because she knew he wouldn’t be able to admit to it but he also wouldn’t be able to lie to her about it.
He sits quietly not saying a word. He doesn’t have an answer for her. He’s upset about it all, what he’s most upset about is irrelevant. Yet she still managed to hit him where it hurts most.
“Get the answers you need while you still can, Tokki,” she encourages. “I know it’s hard for you, but you know you won’t be able to rest if you don’t at least try to get some answers.”
“He’s not going to be truthful, what’s the point?” He huffs trying to justify not getting the closure he knows he absolutely needs.
“If he’s not going to be truthful, then make him.”
“Make him? How?”
Sunyoung points to the rotted apple on the table that is now nothing more than a pile of ash. He nods slowly understanding what she’s trying to tell him. However, this all still requires him to look Minseok right in the face and confront him about things he’d been avoiding himself.
He absolutely does not want to look Minseok in the face.

001: The Sandman - 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon)
002: Rose/Corinthian - Thoughts on them
003: Rose Walker - How you feel about this character
001: The Sandman - 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon)
Ranked in order of preference:
Corinthian/Rose - I’ll get more into this one below but. Yep. SO HOT
Corinthian/Calliope - Corinthian deserves a better owner than Dream, and there’s something so delightful about him hooking up with his daddy’s ex-wife. (They could bitch about Dream together!) And Call deserves a loyal guard dog!
Hob/Corinthian- love Corinthian being with a human that’s kind of worse than him, in some ways, and Hob being with someone who’s the sort of monster he can’t really understand; love the potential of them being able to make each other a little better, or a lot worse
Dream/Corinthian - I mean, this one’s just the classic! It’s got everything - power dynamics, creator/creation & pseudo-incest, daddy kink, daddy issues… It’s ranked lower as a Corinthian ship just because Dream is a *shitty* owner for Cori in ways that I can really only enjoy occasionally nowadays
Agilieth/Dream - that twenty second interaction was just hot as shit! Agilieth’s mockery mixed with some genuine respect! Dream acknowledging him too! Also, Agilieth: Dream of the Endless commands you - mhm, I bet you’re familiar with that! Let these two deep voiced kings get together 😩
002: Rose/Corinthian
when or if I started shipping it: man, probably the scene where they’re talking in the hotel room and he’s *looming* over her, just a foot taller, easily, and she doesn’t look intimidated at all 🥵 height difference but also tiny badass Rose??
my thoughts: obsessed over them. He was Jed’s protector when he had nobody! He reunited him with his sister! He tried to save Rose’s life, and yeah, it was to protect himself, but I think he actually liked the Walkers, and I think it’s so hot he was so down to make Rose his goddess and the queen of the Dreaming. He acts more genuine with the Walkers than almost anybody else in the show, and I’m crazy over it
What makes me happy about them: that he wants her to seize the power of an Endless! Hot! That he’s genuinely her and Jed’s protector, and he’s *damn good* at it. That he fucked her friend Carl! That thrills me. I desperately want her to find out about that tryst 🤣
What makes me sad about them: that we don’t get to see Rose’s reaction to learning the Corinthian was unmade :(
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I think Everqueen touched on this a little in her post, but I really don’t like fanfic that makes Rose act like a kid. I do like when she’s allowed to be vulnerable and scared and protected, because im not sure how often she’s been safe enough to really let her defenses down, but she is an adult, and she’s shouldered adult burdens, and she doesn’t need to be *parented* like a kid. I’m also not wild about Rose/Corinthian fics where she’s being victimized by him, or actively scared of him (I think a little fear is both sexy and pretty damn reasonable, considering what the Corinthian is, but I love that Rose doesn’t let the Corinthian push her around in canon, and I want that in my fics too!)
Things I look for in fanfic: really just anything that explores Rose dealing with being involved with a person that’s not really a person, and how that looks. Corinthian being her guard dog, and how she feels about *that* too
My kinks: femdom, gentle domme, Rose arranging men to fuck the Corinthian in front of her, bondage (it’s sexy imagining Corinthian allowing Rose to tie him down or muzzle him tbh! A predator relinquishing control is hot!!)
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: you know, I’m sort of drawn in to Rose/Dream, actually!! He loves storytellers! It’s spicy badwrong because of the familial connection! There was an attempted murder (hot!)! Rose/Johanna could be interesting, too. For Cori, definitely Calliope or Hob.
My happily ever after for them: I love the concept of Rose having recurring sex dreams/fantasies of the Corinthian after the events of season 1, and Corinthian 2.0 noticing and being fascinated by her 😌😌
003: Rose Walker - How you feel about this character
How I feel about this character: I love her!! I love that she has both this cynical weariness to her, but also this intense desire to do good & help the people around her. I love that she’s new to the supernatural world, but not exactly naive, and I love her everyman quality but also her uniqueness?? Her style!! She’s got a great colorful, soft butch aesthetic I’m obsessed with
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Corinthian is really the big one! I don’t hardcore ship her with anyone else, but I’m a little intrigued by Dream/Rose (and Dream/Rose/Corinthian), and Johanna/Rose and Calliope/Rose could be interesting, too
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Gault & Rose would be super interesting! I’d love to see them interact, share stories about Jed, and I love that Gault knows the Corinthian too, and probably has some interesting perspectives for Rose!
My unpopular opinion about this character: i don’t think she’d want Dream as an uncle figure in her life. I’m not sure if she’d necessarily trust him after the way he used her to pull in the Arcana & tried to kill her. I *definitely* don’t think she’d ever ship Dream/Hob
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we’d seen her reaction to the Corinthian being unmade! I wish we’d gotten to see her learn to wield and play with her dream-bending powers a bit more. I’d love to have seen her meeting Desire, too!
My OTP: Rose/Corinthian!
My OT3: God, I bet Good Doctor/Rose/Corinthian could be really hot in a dark way (or a sad/redemptive way, if this is Good Doctor post-arrest!)

who do you think the other second years favorite first year would be?
also you’re so real for making megumi yuuta’s favorite kouhai. i’ve been pushing the agenda since it was stated megumi only respected yuuta 😭. i also been pushing that megumi is gojo favorite student agenda as well.
Panda: Nobara.
They are the exact same type of asshole. Do you remember in the goodwill event where they ganged up on momo together? No other first year understands him the way nobara does. She’s his beloved little sister and they like to torment people together.
It also helps because they both have a very self assured and confident outlook in life. Panda isn’t tortured about being a panda—he’s happy how he is and doesn’t want to be human. Nobara is very confident and self assured in her own identity and loves herself in whatever situation (as seen in her conversation with momo about gender). They just click.
Inumaki: Yuuji.
While Yuuta’s in Africa he has custody of Megumi but this is like when your friend asks you to watch their cat with lemming instincts. He adores Megumi but he is so so stressed. Every time he turns around megumis getting his ass beat by some shirtless dude or trying to summon Mahoraga. He heard Megumi order Kamo to get him out of the line of fire during the fight with the special grade and aged ten years. Yuuta come back and get your boy he’s so much work.
Yuuji isn’t off put by inumakis speech difficulties and treats him the same as anyone. He’s extremely upbeat, a bit of a troll (re: fushiguro is getting hit on), which fits well with Inumaki, and Inumaki wanted to look out for him from the start the way he did for Yuuta. Inumaki isn’t a freak of nature like yuuji or Maki, but he is extremely fit. They’re exercise buddies and Inumaki is extremely fond of him.
Maki: Megumi.
This was the HARDEST ONE to do because Maki really does (secretly) adore each of the first years in different ways. Like, Yuuji’s the only one who can keep up with her in a fight. They’re enthusiastic sparring partners. She loves that crazy fucker.
Nobara went out of her way from the start to be close to Maki (because of her crush the size of the international space station) and they do end up forming their own special personal relationship. Nobara almost won this poll.
Megumi won by a hair and 90% of it is just because of how much history they have. Some part of him is always going to be the little boy who ran away with her little sister and played with them in the woods. He’s always gonna be the little boy who was angry and afraid and hurt but still was their friend.
While she’s not nearly as openly protective as Yuuta, I think she internally feels very protective of Megumi. He’s the family member she hasn’t lost or failed yet.
Makis emotional state regarding Mai is a very complex one. She doesn’t regret her decision to leave and become a jujutsu sorcerer. She had to do it. She couldn’t let the Zenin just crush her into nothing. But she doesn’t regret that it came at mais expense, and while she wouldn’t change her decision, she doesn’t have to live with her. Her relationship with Mai feels irreparable in her mind and it’s always going to eat at her just a little. But Megumi is her nephew or cousin or something (I'm convinced they have no concrete idea how their family tree is actually connected so they're just nebulously related somehow) and he's someone she can actually watch out for He's someone she can take care of in a way she really can't with mai anymore. she hasn't failed him and he doesn't hate her. Especially in the sea glass gardens universe, where her first meeting with him since they were little kids was coming off of her family's abuse of him--she meets him and immediately is reminded of just how terrible her family can be. she's instantly ushered into an opportunity to assume the protector role as the older cousin/aunt and it frames how she thinks of him.
maki loves all of the first years in their own way but a part of her is always gonna be a little partial to that angry little boy who fucking booked it with mai and tore up his clothes and called naoya a piece of shit for hurting her sister. the one who never had time to play but played with the outcast sisters the first time he got a chance. he was kind to mai and was punished for it and still said they could be friends. it's been years since that happened and she thought they'd never have any kind of relationship, but she's thankful she got to be his senpai. it means she gets to look out for him

( dev patel, thirty-one, cis-man, he/him ) ☼ i know it’s a small town, but i run into HARIJ ‘HARI’ VASAV every time i go to THE STARDROP SALOON. it’s like they practically live there and not PELICAN TOWN for SIX MONTHS. it must be because they’re STUBBORN and GUARDED. come to think of it, that’s probably why they’re an MONSTER SLAYER too. but i did hear they want to FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE AGAIN, and sometimes they like to BOX. rumor has it they also like BOXING GLOVES, but dislike MOUTH GUARDS. what do you think? 
full name — harij vasav nickname(s) — hari name meaning — harij: the horizon. vasav: lord indra age — thirty-one date of birth — august 1st place of birth — stardew valley star sign — leo sun, aries moon, scorpio rising current location — stardew valley gender — cis-male ( allegedly ) pronouns — he/him sexual orientation — bisexual until proven gay religion — hindu / it’s complicated occupation — monster slayer  education level — medical school drop out  family — munjal vasav ( father ), kalyani vasav ( mother ), hayva vasav ( sister ), irshaan vasav ( brother ) finances — getting by  spoken languages — english, gujarati
inspos will come later heavy inspo from creed tho
tw: dsyfunctional family, brother struggles with mh issues, so does hari but it's very light in mentioning, mentions of violence in terms of boxing etc
when your dad is a world renowned neurosurgeon it’s a hard pedestal to fall from, especially if you feel like you haven’t been able to measure up. 
hari grew up as a shadow, at least, that’s what his dad called him when he would go to work with his father because him and his mother were fighting again and they couldn’t find child care. it seemed insane that a couple years later they would inevitably get back together again and have another child, and then one more. then,his father would have three shadows. 
where hayva was the golden child, and irshaan the forgotten black sheep, it left hari in a weird place in the family. the eldest son, but never the star. he’d parent his siblings, even if it felt like hayva had everything under control. she was, in many ways, a carbon copy of their father. 
where his dad was tough, his mother was warmth. they didn’t see each other very much considering most of his time was in his father’s house. they had moved out of the valley when hari was seven, but would visit sometimes since both parents had family still living there. 
hari lived his life constantly trying to catch the wave of adrenaline he felt whenever anyone would pick on him at the playground, by the time that hari was ten he learned how to use his fists instead of words. people weren’t always kind to irshaan who didn’t do well in school, and was shy, and hari was the protector and would do anything for his family. 
it seemed that the streak of doing anything for irshaan would follow them into their adulthood. by age seventeen irshaan had cut himself off from the family, aside from hari and was constantly on the move to wherever he found his happiness next. it made hari worry for him. 
when hari was fifteen he took up boxing as a way to let the anger out, his father and mother never understood why he was so angry all the time and he didn’t know how to tell them that it was the pressure that they put on him, plus the fact that he hardly saw either of them. their parents might have loved hari and his siblings but it sometimes felt like that love could only extend to what kind of glory they could show their friends and family. 
things would change about a year after hari’s first year of college. his dad’s hands started shaking, and it was a slow decline by then. hayva went into action, while irshaan ran away from the family, and hari? well, he started skipping classes to go to underground boxing leagues, he’d come home with a black eye and his mother didn’t understand where her boys went. 
once upon a time hari’s father had dreams of his eldest son taking over his practice, but hari couldn’t really do it anymore. the rest would fall on hayva who was already in school to take over for her father. she’d be written about in papers, often reminiscing on how much the medical field missed their dad but the legacy would continue with or without hari. 
hari doesn’t talk to his family much, but keeps in contact with irshaan who had previously been hiding out in stardew valley. their family has all but moved out aside from the small little house that they all lived in once, before his father’s fame kicked off, when things were much simpler. 
hari doesn’t really know where irshaan is right now, but he keeps in contact when he can. as for hari? he still boxes, but he damaged his hand in a bad fight and it hasn’t been the same since. he supposes that he and his dad have a few things in common now. 
he decided to take up monster slaying about six months ago.
some other things:
it's giving what do you do when you never lived up to what you were meant to do
its giving eldest boy that was also a parent to his siblings but not a very good one
he's very Sad but also just kind of like 'well fuck it this might as well as happen'
still boxes, but you know its not the same, he's in pain and refuses to get the help that he needs
probably gives lessons ??? idk in boxing / self defense / how to defend yourself
does odd jobs all around town for extra cash, probably picks up a few shifts here and there where he can

Stuck in church for the next few hours too 😔✊
May I ask for any headcanons you have about our beloved vdw sibs? Eric & Serena while they were growing up and beyond?
Well I hope it was a spiritually filling experience for you <3 Anyway yes!!! Them!!!
- Eric and Serena are just absolute icons at playing together growing up. These kids can Pass Some Time
- They have these really elaborate games that not even Blair and Nate can understand the rules to and just leave everyone else kind of like ‘????’ but it also presents in stuff like Jenny finding out that Eric is a fucking champion at slide when they’re like 17 and he’s just like. Well yeah
- Serena and Eric learn to drive together! On his sixteenth birthday she’s just like ‘here is your real present and here is your prep for getting your learner’s permit. Mom can’t stop us both <3’ (which is something we kind of see in the early parts of s1, that Eric’s wants can get lost in the fights between Serena and his mom, but in this case he’s okay with it)
- I think Eric is always very aware that Serena is his protector, both in the very literal sense of her as his defender and in the way that she just naturally makes life easier for him and his more quiet and introverted self—she knows how to draw him in and make sure he’s included
- I also think it takes him a lot of time to realize that he anchors her, and his quiet, scheme-y self is good for her, and that he takes care of her and helps her manage herself too (and, also, exactly how much she needs that help). Like, she doesn’t just love him but that he has a value in their relationship. He also thinks about this way more actively than she does
- Serena is just like ‘Eric my baby brother who must be done right by in every way because he is pure and good’ and has that written into her fucking bones in the way that older siblings do (and also is aware that Eric is better at figuring out what’s going on in her head than she is sometimes)
- On the flip side of that is that Eric is… he’s always very self-contained, in how he manages himself, and everyone knows that if you really want him to talk about his feelings or what’s going on with him, you send Serena. (Unless, of course, your name is Humphrey and you didn’t grow up with him and therefore have less expectations.)
- And on yet a third side, I’ve always really thought that Eric is the one who Serena tried to hide her problems from. Not her feelings—you know Eric got to hear and mediate every single fight with Blair—but the part of her that was an on fire tragedy masquerading as a party girl, because she was his big sister and some part of her knew something was Wrong in a way that he should be kept safe from, even if she didn’t know how to keep it away from herself
- Anyway, Lily is one of the champion storytellers of gg—I mean, she’s up there with Blair, and always was, even as a baby, hello ‘you’re falling in love with me, aren’t you?’ in Valley Girls—and I think growing up, one of the signs that things are Good in the vdw household is that Lily takes the time to read Eric and Serena a bedtime story
- Ofc by the time Eric is like six she’s scared about reading stories that are too far below Serena’s reading level vs ones that are good for him and I am just. A little obsessed with Serena van der Woodsen, founder and president of the Shakespeare Club, and I think she gets it from her mom <3
- Serena is also the one who reads stories when things are Bad, and either way that becomes a formative experience for Eric, and it’s something he definitely does/would do as a parent
- I’ve talked before about the idea of them both ending up in California as adults, and it’s a huge state but it’s small enough that they call it close enough to visit constantly, which is something that I like a lot
- But I think that it doesn’t really matter where they end up? They make sure to make time for each other (or, really, Eric makes sure to make time and Serena is intuitive enough to know that Saturday morning means it is time to talk with Eric on the phone, and thus the structure becomes settled)
- They communicate a lot via texts of ‘oh I saw this and thought you would be into it’ too—news articles, some fashion video that showed up because the youtube algorithm is weird, literally anything that has to do with the opera because Serena just. Has no idea what the fuck is going on over there but she knows he likes it
- Also I don’t believe in either of them living in the UES as adults but lbr Serena’s wedding is the only reason Eric sets foot back there in canon in a fucking decade and that is some king shit

bia does actually see hongjoong as a sort of father figure. her family wasn’t very supportive of her career path but hongjoong was always there reassuring her. he teaches her things, not only about music, but life. things that she didn’t know she would need in the long run.

REALITY:
all of the fan’s views is true, but most don’t know that sometimes bia goes to yeosang for advice. yeosang is a quiet person but he watches closely. and if bia doesn’t come to him, he’ll come to her because he knows when something’s wrong.
BIYEO / YEOBI THINGS !

FAN VIEW:
fans usually see bia as a mother towards mingi cause even though she’s younger than him, she likes to take care of him in any way she can. but then again, we can all see the sibling energy radiating off of them.
REALITY:
even though bia likes to take care of mingi, he takes care of her more. mingi sees bia as a little sister and like san, he always tries to protect her in anyway he can. like any older brother, he doesn’t want bia to be heartbroken so he hides her away from anyone who seems too attracted to her.

Adventures in DDNOS:
I’ve discovered two new alters/fragments!! At first, I thought I only had one, Liz (my only named fragment), who’s my protector. I’ve known about her since she took shape when I was in middle school, but she’s had phases where she wasn’t around for a while, or at least not that I was aware. She used to be a “too cool for school” arrogant kind of personality, but now she’s kind of mellowed (if you can call it that) into a brash, excitable older sister. She loves messing with people, and when I’m with my partners, she likes slapping their asses super hard to haze them 🤣 especially my fiancé!! (Once she made me slap my boyfriend’s ass super hard and he was like “DAMN I guess you’re REALLY getting comfortable around me now” 🤣)
So the new parts!!
First we’ve got my customer service alter. They REALLY weird my fiancé out 🤣 They’ll show up and my fiancé‘s like “you’re using your customer service voice again 😒” 🤣 I usually am dissociating pretty hard when they show up when I’m not at work. But I’m really lucky to have them bc they are AMAZING at masking my autism. It’s kinda funny bc sometimes we’ll blip and they’ll disappear for a second and I’ll totally fumble my scripting and get all flustered when I’m at work lolol!!! I only just got a job recently, last week was my first week, and they have been SO HELPFUL!!! They used to base their masking on my older cousin, but now they base it on one of my assistant managers bc her customer service voice is so great. It’s pretty funny whenever I go into work and they’re like “ok it is MY TIME” 🤣
And then I’ve got my little!!! They kinda make me baby talk. Like for example, my dad was getting me a shake from McDonald’s earlier and he asked me what flavor I wanted, and the little was like “choccit” instead of chocolate. I’ve done this for a long while, but I never realized WHY I was doing it. Also, they are VERY shy (and easily embarrassed) and they do NOT like being talked to. Like my parents will be talking to/at me and the little will be SO FRUSTRATED bc they just wanna be left alone. They truly just wanna vibe and play games and do their own thing. They’re the low spoons alter, essentially, and they hold a LOT of autism symptoms. They’re HORRIBLE at masking. They also have a signature stim that I never knew I had until my mom pointed it out today— they like to make the corners of my mouth twitch rhythmically. So that’s pretty interesting.
So with my DDNOS, it’s not like DID. I don’t fully leave the driver’s seat whenever my alters decide to show up. I don’t have amnesia either. It’s like I’m sitting in the driver’s seat, I’m pressing the gas pedal, but the alters have a hold of the steering wheel and are dictating how I behave. It’s like I’m carbonated water, and they’re the syrup that flavors me, if that makes sense. I can’t think of a better analogy at the moment. So that’s why I haven’t really been able to identify my alters before. I just thought I was in Really Weird Moods, but now I’m discovering identifiable patterns of behavior that are making me realize that they’re actually alters.
I’m not actually diagnosed with DDNOS yet, and I’m not sure I’m GOING to seek a diagnosis due to the societal detriments that professional diagnosis can bring. I know I dissociate, I have for a long time. I once spent an entire year or so in a severe dissociative state after a traumatic event (losing my friend Jaydan to cancer when we were both 18). It was really bad. So I know I dissociate, I know that’s part of who I am. I just didn’t really realize I had alters until super recently. It’s pretty cool, realizing that there’s actually a REASON for this and it’s not just me having incredibly wild shifts of mood/behavior/mindsets. I could never figure it out! But now I know!! It’s really cool.
And now I’m not the only non-system in my polycule 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not the odd one out anymore!! That’s fun hahaha!! I’ve found that brainweird people tend to find each other. Most of my friends are neurodivergent in one way or another.

30 Days of Devotion ( Aphrodite ) - Day 7
Day 7 - Names and Epithets Since I do not perceive Aphrodite and Venus as being the same goddess, I’m not really aware of any other names for her. I will then only focus on epithets.
Aphrodite is the holder of many epithets, way too many for me to name them all. I’ll go over a few of my favorites, some I use a lot in my worship, and an UPG one I made. Do note that I will give a lot of my UPG meanings for them, so don’t take this as a source or as if I was trying to say that this is how they were used in ancient times.
Κυπρογενεια ( Kyprogeneia ) - “Cyprus-born”, referring to her place of birth. There’s a few variations of this, including Kyprogenes and Kyprogenêa, but I find Kyprogeneia to be a more aesthetically pleasing spelling, so it’s usually the one I go for.
Αφρογενεια ( Aphrogeneia ) - “Foam-born”. Similar to the one above, in that it also has other spellings ( Aphrogenês ), but I find this one more aesthetically pleasing.
Φιλομειδης ( Philomeidês ) - “Laughter-loving”. I just find this one really beautiful. I like to imagine her rejoicing in the joy of humans, and I feel that a bout of laughter so great your stomach hurts is one of the best blessings we can get from her.
Ουρανια ( Ourania ) - “Heavenly, Divine Love”. I haven’t really had the chance of using this one, but I do plan on doing so when the opportunity comes by. It was a very common one throughout Greece, including Arkadia, which I base parts of my worship on, so I do consider it important.
Πανδημος ( Pandemos ) - “Love Common to All People”. I very much love this epithet, as I can think of many times in my life where I could associate the love I felt for some people to this version of her. I consider the love I have and receive from my close ones as gifts from Aphrodite Pandemos. It was also very common throughout Greece, and is kind of a sister epithet to Ourania. Therefore, it was also used in Arkadia, which heightens its importance to me.
Κατασκοπια ( Katascopia ) - “Spying, peeping”. This one I like mostly because it reminds me of that one step in love, especially when you’re younger, when you get a crush on someone and tell your friends, so everytime the person comes by, you’re all in a little group, whispering and giggling to each other. It’s not the weird kind of spying, it’s the innocent, shy kind of first teenage loves. In another way, it’s also the loving glances you give a lover while they’re not looking and you’re simply admiring them.
Μελαινις ( Melainis ) - “Black ( of Night )”. I consider this one important to my worship because of its use in Arkadia. It’s one I want to explore some more.
Συμμαχια ( Symmakhia ) - “Ally ( in Love )”. Like the one above, it’s mostly important to my worship because of its Arkadian use. I do have a bit more of a personal meaning for this one though, since a big part of the relationship I’ve been building with Aphrodite has been linked with my own romances.
Ερυκινη ( Erykine ) - “Of Eryx”. This one refers to the city and mountain Eryx ( Modern day Erice ), in Sicily. It’s one I need to give more research, but again, it gained importance for me through its Arkadian use. It’s the same for Παφια ( Paphia, “Of Paphos, Cyprus ), though they, obviously refer to different places.
Αρεια ( Areia ) - “Warlike, of Ares”. I’ve only started to use this one very recently. It has been a very personal one, linked to anger, so I don't really want to share much more than that. I do very much enjoy it as a part of her, though, as you could probably tell from the past posts.
Λιμενια ( Lemenia ) - “Of the Harbor”. This one is mostly relevant to me because of one of the places I go to to feel her presence, even though I’m aware that this refers to her as a protector of harbors.
Μαχανιτις ( Makhanitis ) - “Deviser, Contriver”. This reminds me of her in the Gigantomachy, my favorite myth of hers, as I’ve mentioned before. It was also used in Arkadia.
And finally, my UPG epithet: Ταλαίπωρια ( Talaiporia ) - “Of the Heartbroken”. It’s a fairly personal one to me, but I imagine that it can be easy enough to understand the meaning of. I felt like this was an aspect of her that is not ever really talked about, but it’s one that has been quite relevant to my own personal worship. I see it as both representing heartbreak in the romantic sense and in the sadness sense.
