Tolkien, in the thirties, after being asked by a German publishing house if he was Aryan: If you Germans continued in this fashion, being German will no longer be something to be proud of, and also your use of the word Aryan is not linguistically accurate, so chew on that.

Germans in the thirties: Continue in that fashion, to put it lightly.

Tolkien: I warned you!

Tolkien: Makes the word “Goth” mean “enemy” in elvish, and names the incarnation of evil “Morgoth”

Tolkien: And it serves you right!

Hii!! can i request head cannons for kuroo, bokuto, osamu, and terushima with a s/o who passes out constantly due to a medical condition and they have to continuously take medication and go to the hospital. sometimes they pass out and hit their head? make sure to take care of yourself hun and have a good day🥺💗

hi yes please request! anyway, I wasn’t sure what to do when it came to the medical side of things and then i realised i have the same issues because of my iron deficiency so i basically just used that as a base! so even though this was a request it was also really self-indulgent… also bare with me i’ve never written for Osamu or Terushima before

Kuroo:

oh my god this man is gonna be so worried and overprotective of you!

i have this feeling that he didn’t know when you first got together so he wasn’t worried about you more than he would be with Kenma

also if you don't get along with kenma you guys aint together

the first time you fainted in front he freaked THE FUCK OUT, i mean you guys were sitting watching a movie and then you get up to go get a drink but you just collapse????

Yeah you scared him, when you came to however he was very close to tears because he was so scared and worried for you

So after you explain that you often get really dizzy and tired from your condition and pass out sometimes he keeps an eye out for you like a hawk, i mean he is as perceptive with you as he is on the court

Also you can bet your ass that he always has an extra bottle of water, extra food and a small thing of your meds for you on him at school constantly, you can also count on the fact that you haven’t hit your head from fainting whilst around him

He texts you every morning, something sweet like "Good Morning Baby! Eat a full breakfast and take your meds!"

He tries not to be overbearing with it though, he knows you are your own responsible person but he cant help but worry

Honestly he is just a baby who wants you to be healthy

Bokuto:

He is a child, and i love him for it, but he wouldn’t have a clue that you had something wrong with you

like if you mention that you get really dizzy at times he’ll just be like "oh, well tell me next time so i can get you to sit!"

He definitely didn’t realise until Akaashi akaashi your a god send mentioned once after you sat back down after standing up to quickly, that you might have some sort of medical issue

Now as much as a child Bokuto is at heart he would probably be really nervous to bring it up, mainly because if you DO have one he doesn’t want to offend you

One time after you got really dizzy and had to sit there for a while you could tell from the look on his face that he wanted to ask something so you told him to tell you whats wrong

he very quickly rushes out a "isthereasonthatyougetdizzyssoquicklybecauseofamedicalissue?"

you honestly just laugh and explain how your condition causes you to get dizzy often and how you often forgot to take your meds causing you to be even MORE dizzy

He would be confused at first but then he makes sure you are ok everyday, he asks you if you took your medicine as soon as you get to school and if you haven't?

Well then you can bet your ass he would walk carry you all the way to the nurses office to get you meds

Overall he is a child who wants you to be ok!

Osamu:

He’s the prettier twin, hands down, and as much as he will deny it, he is pretty chaotic and dense

legit he probably knew about your medical issues but forgot until you fainted in front of him

the first time he forgot you fainted and hit your head on the corner of a table

he had rushed you to the emergency room the second he saw blood, he was so panicked and scared

when you guys got there the doctors immediately helped and fixed you up

Samu freaked when he heard a doctor say they hadn’t seen you in here for a while

After that incident Osamu had set reminders in his phone to remind you daily to take your medication

He also started to keep extra meds, water and food in his locker specifically for you

When Atsumu finds out what he does for you he is tied between calling him a simp or genuinely being proud of his caring brother…… he called him a simp

Overall he is quite forgetful but tries his hardest to be there for you

Terushima:

This guy i love him anyway he is so cute and energetic but also very smart meaning, as soon as he even thinks something may be up? He is all up in your business

Its adorable really, he just cares for you a lot! and he will literally walk across the planet for you without hesitation

When you fainted in front of him the first time, BOI, he was panicking, anyone around would’ve thought that HE was about to faint

Once you, in his words, 'came clean' about your medical issues this boy became really panicky

He’s really smart but as soon as the idea of you being sick or hurt comes into his mind, its just whoosh all logic goes out the window

When you explain you have to take daily medication and all the other fun stuff he is texting you daily, all day, everyday

like "GOOD MORNING MY LOVE!!! TAKE YOUR MEDS OR PERISH!!!"

its slightly confusing but again he means well

He also walks you to and from school everyday so you go early and leave late because of practice, not that you mind because like, have you seen him?

anyway he overall tries his hardest to be there for you and make sure your safe 24/7

Thank you for requesting!!!! Im so happy with how this turned out even though i was terrified of how Osamu’s would be!! anyway i hope you enjoyed! I have another request that should be done later and more posts to come!!! Don't be afraid to request!!!

sorry to all 163 of my followers who didn’t follow me for l.ittle h.ope content but that’s all im thinking abt atm

as i go through my playthrough, i’m going to be documenting some of my headcanons under the cut here so i can organize them later because like, since there’s so much reincarnation going on, it’s hard to keep everything organized. obviously spoilers under the cut for lh (and if y’all want to play it i 100% recommend doing so and doing so without getting spoiled! just know that it’s a horror game that deals heavily in death and religion, with an important chunk of the game dedicated to puritan witch trials. jumpscares are also pretty frequent, so be careful if you do decide to play it! if you’ve got specific triggers but are interested in playing regardless, feel free to dm me asking about specific things cause this post isn’t really meant to detail all the content warnings for the game)

anyway! yeah! them!

A INCARNATIONS

anthony

anthony has a higher ability to feel his past lives. often feeling haunted by past decisions, he can also likely feel dizzy or hear ringing in his ears when he repeats his sins. he’s fearful of history repeating itself, even if he’s not entirely sure why he’s so certain that these events happened.

anthony has a vested interest in puritanism and witch trials, and is a walking encyclopedia on little hope’s history. had the clarkes survived, he would have wanted to pursue a history degree and renovate the town’s museum to become a strong tourist attraction.

anthony and tanya were adopted together and moved through the foster system together. because of this, he genuinely considers her to be his older sister and cares deeply about her. the two of them have a strong relationship and he often listens to tanya talk about her love life and helps her get ready for dates.

anthony is a very neat person and tends to be high-strung in some regards. he’s particular about how things are done and prefers to be independent so that he can do things in a way that feels proper. he has a strong sense of what is right and wrong, and will judge even those he loves if he feels they’re being immoral.

abraham

abraham has no reported family, a high degree of loyalty to reverend carver, and seems to be of high class. he likely was an orphan taken in and raised by the church, leading him to gain a high status within the clergy by the time he was 18.

abraham (if i remember correctly) is the only one of the puritans who both recognizes the figures from the future as apparitions and doesn’t seem too upset by them, lending credence to the idea that he’s used to seeing things that aren’t there. a) schizophrenia, but b) i like to believe that this granted him some credibility in the church for being able to see evil spirits sent by the devil.

andrew

as of november 8, andrew’s traits are the following: detached, anxious, compassionate (haven’t gotten it yet, just know it’s there), uncertain, fearful, practical, insecure, altruistic. fearful is his default locked trait, and the others are: anxious, uncertain, resolute, (??? if in low point, he says nothing when john says they must stop mary), and detached.

considering the ages of the students here (excepting angela) are 18, 20, and 22, and taylor took two years off to travel europe, it’s safe enough to say that this is a second-year creative writing course. andrew likely graduated high school a year early, and in order for him to still be 18 by the end of may, he must have been born anywhere from late may to early september. i vaguely headcanon him as a late august-early september baby because out of the summer zodiac signs, virgo fits him the best.

if andrew had a demon, it would have a halo of poppets circling its head and move as if it were a marionette. one hand would be clenched in a tight fist (holding a box of matches). if andrew is caught by the demon, it would kill him by staking him through the temple, fulfilling his destiny of dying from head trauma. the demon symbolizes the sin of self-sacrifice and putting others’ needs before your own, even at the expense of your health or well-being. if andrew participates in self-sabotaging actions or blindly follows orders he knows are wrong (alongside, of course, condemning mary), he will feel dizzy, nauseous, and hear a high-pitched ringing noise.

andrew took this creative writing course because he had taken a first-year course with john and had liked his teaching style.

M INCARNATIONS

megan

all m incarnations, like the a incarnations (anthony), have a higher degree of cognizance of their past lives, even if they cannot remember the past lives exactly. old grudges or affections may be instinctively carried over.

mary

mary tells carver, “i am a child, the devil has no time for me,” (information found in exchange for gaining the locked trait ‘baffled’ for daniel im sorry king) and you know what? good for her!

m...?

been thinking about a name for her. maggie, madison, melissa, molly, or madeleine seem like such good names. god. i’ll have to come up with a backstory and everything for her too, because, like, what is she doing there??? i need to know!!!

A INCARNATIONS... 2!

angela

as of november 8, angela’s traits are the following: abrasive, understanding, derisive, truthful, skeptical, indifferent, nervous. derisive is her default locked trait, and the others are: abrasive, aggressive, dismissive, angry, irritable, and resentful.

anne

something something she’s religious im tired i’ve written too much

T INCARNATIONS

taylor

as of november 8, taylor’s traits are the following: sensitive, witty, flirtatious, hopeful, deceitful, dismissive, headstrong, aggressive. deceitful is her default locked trait, and the others are: aggressive, uncertain, irritable, dismissive, resentful, derisive, and fearful.

tanya

tba

additional info:

as of november 8, john’s traits are the following: rational, overbearing, reckless, dismissive, resolute, irritable. dismissive is his default locked trait, and the others are: reckless, nervous, panicked, uncertain, indignant, dismissive, angry, aggressive, and fearful.

as of november 8, daniel’s traits are the following: defensive, amiable, arrogant, sympathetic, excited, reckless, baffled, heroic, resentful. arrogant is his default locked trait, and the others are: derisive, baffled (im so sorry mary i love you i promise i didn’t know), indecisive, aggressive, fearful, and reckless.

as of november 8, the lip rankings are as follows: vince having the best lips even after grief hitting him, anthony (rip to the clarke fire taking everything away from him, including his lips), then tanya, dennis, angela (with a missing top lip), and john in last place with a missing bottom lip. johngela real because their lips complete each other. i have gotta say, vince saying anthony didn’t lose everything when he lost not only his family but also his luscious lips? cancelled. writing his callout as we speak

since im working on height stuff, just wanted to add that will poulter’s height is reportedly 6′3″, alex ivanovici’s height is reportedly 6′0″, and ellen david’s height is reportedly 5′8″, which seems about right for their character models. daniel seems right around andrew’s height, after scouring some scenes and trying to assess who stands more upright and who’s taller, so i’d pin him as ... 6′4″? taylor’s height is awful cause in some shots she looks like she comes to andrew’s shoulder and in other shots she seems like she comes up past daniel’s ear? and in some shots she seems like she’s a bit taller than angela, so... i’ll probably put her at 5′9″.

I just really love Two Person Love Triangles and Identity Porn. So, maybe a You've Got Mail AU? Or a superhero AU when one of them falls for both the masked hero and the secret identity?

because i love both of these aus i’ve written both!! but they’re pretty long bc i wouldn’t be me if i didn’t plot out an entire fic so the superhero au is here. 

as for the you’ve got mail au, i went off and watched the movie for the first time and i am delighted by your taste anon,,, the au works so well!! 

(okay for some reason tumblr won’t let me indent my bullets so idk how to fix that so big rip)

so we have lan & sons books, a company that prides itself on providing cheap books for everyone to read. think less evil corporation and more we wanted to provide easily accessible books for all people and ended up getting really rich off it

mr lan dadman was meant to be in charge but he ran off and lqr stepped up until lxc was old enough to take over and now lqr just kinda assists lxc when he needs help and does some other work

lqr is definitely the old guy who had a letter thing with this one woman who was enchanting but instead he was chatting to cssr and she was shameless 

anyway lwj works as *random high up job that joe fox has* and his best work friend (and real friend) is jin zixuan

jin zixuan is the heir to some coffee franchise and the two families have a deal which is why you have the cafe inside the bookstores

we gonna give lwj some friends

as for wwx, his mother owned a bookstore, the burial mounds (why did she name it that?? idk she probably told bssr that she wanted to call it that as a joke and bssr tried to call her bluff so she ended up having to call it that a la suibian)

anyway he grew up with his mother and grandmother and they left the store to him (idk what happened to them?? maybe they just retired and are now travelling the world while wwx gets to have the bookstore)

now for the actual plot!!

lwj and wwx met on omegle an instant messaging site and now exchange emails. wwx goes by yiling patriarch and lwj goes by hanguang-jun bc we want that flavour

so they’ve been emailing for years and they never share any personal information - wwx knows that hgj has a pet rabbit but not hgj’s name or his job

as for the significant others?? idk let’s pretend they don’t exist. 

wwx’s best friend nhs, who writes a column for so-and-so, always just comes over to his place and now he’s semi moved in and wwx isnt really sure why he’s here but he is. 

lwj just vibes bc i can’t see him putting up with a patricia unless his uncle  forced him to. even then he’d probably just be ~mysteriously~ gone while she’s home

maybe he has a really annoying pa who thinks its his job to come over and like make him breakfast. it’s su she,, it has to be

so wwx goes into work one morning and wen ning is waiting outside as he always is, ready for him to open and then like ten minutes later wen qing comes in and lastly granny wen comes in

why do they work together?? idk?? granny wen and bssr were close and so the wens and wwx kinda grew up as siblings? yeah i like that let’s go with that

so when cssr decided to go travelling wwx gets left with her store and he kinda knows how to run it but also he doesn’t have enough staff so he ends up hiring the wens (except granny who’s mostly there just to hang out with her family)

bonus: a-yuan always come to the shop after school and wwx gets to recreate the childhood he had with his mother with a-yuan. when the store closes wwx and a-yuan just twirl and twirl until they get too dizzy to stand up and then they lay on the floor and discuss their favourite book they’ve read this week. it’s very sweet

okay so the next day lwj gets to babysit his cousin/uncle/nephew/idk-how-they’re-related-person lan jingyi who is like eight or something?

they go out and hang at a festival and lwj does not buy him a goldfish bc i was very stressed by the way they treated the goldfish in the movie but he does get him balloons and a stuffed toy and plays all the games with him

eventually they’re walking back and see that the small bookstore near the new lan bookstore is hosting a story time so they go inside 

lwj walks in and he’s immediately taken by the atmosphere of the store bc that place was absolutely beautiful and then he hears this voice and follows it around to the back of the store to see the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen in his life sitting on a kinda too small chair with a princess hat? cone? thing on top of his head

he’d planned to stay for like one story and then take jingyi home but he ends up staying for the entire book and it’s definitely not because the guy reading the book smiled at him once or twice

after the story time ends, lwj is reluctant to leave so he ends up letting jingyi pick a bunch of books and looks at a few fancy first edition books with wen qing

and maybe his mother used to love collecting books - the old ones with the yellowed pages and beautiful pictures - and that’s why lwj helps out with his family business,, bc he wants everyone to be able to have books like that (never mind that all their books are like mass produced and lack any sentimentality & the staff dont actually care about the books)

anyway he sees wwx help jingyi pick out books and lets him borrow his handkerchief when he sneezes and lwj’s like oh nooo he’s good with kids too so now he has to talk to him 

so he goes up to buy the books and wwx’s telling jingyi about how much he likes daisies and lwj just blurts out “can i ask what your name is?” and wwx blinks but then smiles and is like i’m wei wuxian, but you can call me wei ying, and i own this store. what about you? and lwj is like wangji, you can call me wangji

wen qing takes one look at lwj and the way he’s staring at wwx and goes you’re going to come back aren’t you and lwj is trying so hard not to just run away so he just ignores her but then she mentions something about lan books and he’s Panicking and jingyi almost says that he’s a lan and lwj just kinda guides him over to a table and then goes back to flirt talk with wwx

anyway wwx ends up going on this big tangent about books and what they mean to people and the whole when you read a book as a child it becomes a part of your identity and who you’re going to become the way nothing else does (and lwj remembers his mother and her books) and then he apologises for going on and lwj is mentally going marry me, but he ends up calling wwx and his mother shameless

but it’s okay!! wwx & cssr are proud of it!

and then yada yada lwj buys the kinda expensive books and ends up awkwardly shepherding jingyi out of the store 

cut to the next day when the lan book store opens properly and lwj ends up telling lqr about how he met wwx and lqr is like >:/ the son of that shameless woman,, how terrible,, it’s okay he won’t be a problem for long bc they’ll be driven out of business. which isn’t the response lwj wanted but lxc seems supportive enough if a bit concerned about how it would work with them as business enemies 

business is already bad for wwx and it’s barely been a week since the lan store opened and he’s pretty bummed out but hopeful that maybe it’s a fluke

then nhs invites him to some fancy dinner with him bc wei-xiong they’re all so boring and smart and have opinions, please don’t make me have opinions so wwx gets dragged along

he ends up talking to lwj at the bar bc how could he not talk to the man who’s standing in front of all that fancy alcohol and getting some fruit juice. (he’d get water but lwj has had to put up with su she all evening so he needs something stronger)

anyway they chat and it’s pleasant but then after wwx gets approached by someone who’s like wow im surprised you’re talking to lan wangji and wwx is like lan?!

cue their passive aggressive argument around the food table complete with caviar and a turkey knife. 

now bc it’s lan wangji,, instead of making scathing comebacks he just makes like factual and to-the-point statements that end up being really bitchy (or does he intend them to be that way? it’s a mix of both of them tbh but in this case he’s definitely being bitchy on purpose) and wwx is spluttering bc that boy does not stand up well against hot and mad people

nhs ends up coming over and defusing the situation but wwx makes a point of stealing the rest of the caviar off lwj’s plate before leaving 

lwj ends up ducking out early as well to avoid su she and emails wwx that night at like 9:45 bc the guilt of being so rude kept him up late and yllz is like oh no that’s so sad ): but impressive! i wish i could zing people,, my brain just turns off the second i need to make a comeback

creative liberties,, wwx is good at teasing but not being genuinely mean? lets go with that

anyway now we get the delightful montage of wwx hiding behind cheese displays and lwj walking out of coffee stores with a newspaper covering his face as they try to avoid each other

when wwx gets in the wrong line at the supermarket lwj comes over and kinda glares the checkout woman into submission and gets her to let wwx use his card which wwx is really conflicted about bc why would he help me?? and once again angry lwj = hot lwj

a few weeks later wwx ends up asking hgj for help bc business isn’t getting any better but refuses to give any details and i refuse to have lwj watch the godfather so lwj just straight up messages him and is like tear that bitch apart

and so wwx decides to tear that bitch apart and asks nhs for help. nhs, fan of the arts and small businesses and local culture, is 100% down for it and writes a scathing article about lan books and how they’re destroying all the aforementioned things nhs cares about

it ends up getting a lot of traction and people show up to protest and wwx even goes on television

lwj ends up seeing the news coverage on the matter while he’s at the gym with jzx

jzx is 100% the guy who goes to the gym just to apathetically walk on the treadmill while lwj jogs

he sees the interview with wwx and lwj is like he’s not this nice in real life and jzx is like you met him?? and lwj is like mn. then jzx is like i bet he’s not as hot and lwj is completely silent but his ears are bright red and that’s how jzx knows that wwx is just that hot

also?? lwj goes on tv and says like three words and he’s kinda annoyed how the news decided to spin that but he also said like three words so what did he expect?

but, despite all the publicity, sales don’t get any better so wwx is like fine can we meet in person and lwj is like sure

he brings jzx along bc he doesn’t know the way there, it’s not because he’s nervous and kind of in love with yllz, it’s because he doesn’t know how to get to the cafe. (it’s two blocks from his apartment)

anyway jzx is like oof man it’s seems like yllz is wwx but he is that hot so not all is lost and lwj is like yikes no not happening im not going in but he also feels bad about standing wwx up so he ends up going in and sitting down in front of wwx

and lwj is like wei wuxian, all this publicity will do nothing to save your business and wwx is like lan wangji who do you think you are (or however that scene goes) but instead of lwj being asked to leave wwx decides he’s not gonna chicken out first so they end up spending like two hours having the most aggressive cup of coffee and chat he’s ever had

lwj is exhausted but he also refuses to give up

but then wwx spits something about how lwj is some cold, heartless suit who doesn’t actually care about or appreciate books so how can he possibly dare to think that he’s better than wwx and that hurts bc lwj had thought that he’d been doing exactly that so he leaves

anyway the next morning wwx is moping around the bookstore bc he didn’t get stood up, he swears. am i not cute enough he moans to wen qing and she’s like your hgj doesn’t know what you look like. but what about my personality? is that cute enough? and wen qing eventually manages to grit out that yes it is cute enough

wen ning comes in and is like are you okay? you got stood up? that’s good! your date might have been the rooftop killer xue yang! he got caught last night! and wwx is like i wish, i just got stood up like a chump

so they ignore each other for a few weeks bc wwx is very hurt and lwj doesn’t know what he’s going to say but wwx ends up caving and emails hgj about how guilty he feels and how even though wwx probably means nothing to lwj, he’s worried that maybe he did hurt lwj and also please hgj i still want to talk to you

now hgj never says a lot, he’s always really succinct and direct but this time he takes the time to write a proper apology. it’s not an explanation bc he doesn’t want to give this up, even if the yllz he thinks he loves is the wwx that he hates, but it is an apology

the next day wwx goes to lunch with granny wen and finally dares to ask her whether it would be okay to shut the store down. he doesn’t want, of course he doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t think he can afford to keep it open. granny just tells him that it’s okay and that if the time has come, the time has come

we don’t have to worry about wwx breaking up with anyone, so he just goes home and asks nhs if he can have some space and nhs quickly packs his stuff and goes home. as he stands in the doorway with his last box of stuff he tells wwx that he’s sorry and wishes he could help more and wwx sends him this tremulous smile but manages to hold it together until nhs leaves and then he cries and cries 

the next day he goes back to work and tries to stay bubbly and cheery even as he sees all of his shelves slowly being emptied and people who haven’t stepped foot in his store in six months are telling him what a shame it is and how they wish it didnt have to come to this and wwx is internally screaming

he manages to stave off any actual screaming but when he closes up that day he ends up going to the children’s section of lan bookstore and just as he had thought, none of the staff care about the books, none of them know any books and he ends up recommending a series to some young mother

lwj, who’d spotted wwx and come over to see if whether he was here to pick a fight, comes to the awful realisation that maybe wwx is right about his store lacking heart

he goes home that night and su she tags along even though lwj just wants space and the elevator breaks. he’s sitting there on the ground listening to his neighbour talk about reconnecting with family and the elevator button pressing dude talks about getting engaged and su she is just there whining about his job and the inconvenience and lwj goes fuck this. when the elevator starts working again he grabs his rabbit and goes back down to the ground floor, ignores su she’s shouts, and goes back to his childhood home

wwx gets stuck closing his store down. he looks around at the shelves and tables he’d grown up with and sees his childhood and a-yuan’s and countless moments he’s had with people he’s loved and realises he’s going to lose it all forever. he grabs the bell, the last thing he has left of the store and closes up for the very last time

in the meantime, lwj is living the high life. he hangs out with his bunny, gets to read pride and prejudice for fun and actually manages to get all the way through it and then his brother comes to visit

apparently he’d broken up with jgy bc he was gold digger-esque and had decided to run off with someone richer and lwj is like oh thats so sad ): anyway nmj is right there and he fills your heart with joy and lxc is like have you ever had someone like that? and lwj immediately thinks of wwx and is like fuck

his first order of business is to buy wwx’s shop bc it broke my heart that she didn’t get it back in the og movie and he starts filling it with books again. he buys ten copies of his mother’s favourite books and places them on the shelf by the door and then he sees a book that reminds him of jingyi so gets some of them and he sees a book covered in daisies and thinks of wwx. and slowly, slowly he’s building up his own library, his own store, and this time every single book means something and for once lwj looks out across the floor with pride and satisfaction

his second order of business is to apologise to wwx for being a dick. he buys some daisies and goes to his place and comes in and cooks soup for wwx. lwj apologises and tells him it wasn’t personal and wwx is like that’s not true, it was personal to me and it’s personal to a lot of people and lwj understands that now. he remembers the way he’d filled wwx’s store and left his own touch and bared his heart through each of those books and he understands. he doesn’t actually say this and just tells wwx that he wants to be friends 

lwj considers coming clean about being hgj but he knows now that he definitely loves wwx and knows that wwx currently hates him but damn is it hard not to say anything when wwx is telling him how much he loves hgj

anyway he’s like organise a meeting again with hgj 

i’d say it’s ooc for lwj not to come clean but this is the man who pined for x decades and just didnt tell wwx that his son was alive so like not ooc at all

so lwj decides he’s going to woo wwx as best as he can and organises to meet up with yllz and then goes and meets with wwx and they end up going to hang out and for some strange reason, even though wwx keeps getting stood up, he doesn’t seem to care too much. he keeps agreeing to meet hgj and when he doesn’t show is more than happy to spend the rest of his day with lwj

and slowly, they start to get closer. wwx takes a sip of lwj’s coffee and lwj buys him daisies. wwx brings him an interesting book and lwj tells him about his mother. they chat freely about hgj and lwj is happy for the first time in a long time

eventually lwj organises the final meeting. wwx is really confused about the place he picked but he’s hopeful that maybe this time hgj will show. after wwx and lwj’s farmers market date ends, lwj ends up asking wwx if he could love lwj and wwx is like you put me in such an uncomfortable situation. ie stammering and blushing and eventually going oh no ill be late and running off

anyway a couple hours later wwx finds himself standing outside his old bookstore and he refuses to look at it bc he doesn’t want to see what it’s become but then, through the open door of the store, a bunny hops out and over to wwx

lwj comes running out after it calling out its name (bichen?? flopsy?? rabbit?? one of them) and wwx looks up and is like oh,, it’s you, i’d hoped it was you and he’s all teary and lwj has a handkerchief that he’d embroidered himself (with gentians of course) and he’s like dont cry yllz and then they kiss and it’s beautiful

bonus: lwj takes wwx inside the store and shows him everything and explains the meaning behind every book that they’ve picked and then wwx does cry for real bc there is definitely an entire two walls dedicated just to wwx

do they open the store as a bookstore again and work together? does wwx end up writing books?? idk up to you. i like the idea that they open the store for story time and sell children’s books but lwj still works with lan & sons to get some heart in their stores and wwx works on his own books in his spare time

The Grand Legend of Alex Eywrm

My Mentor is a Omnipotent Powerful Dragon... And also a Pothead.

Eterna seoule Eterna vulvis Fatus

May my Fate be as eternal as my soul and my love

I froze, chills went down my spine, a frozen breath found its way onto the nape of my neck. I couldn't move, couldn't blink, couldn't breath. 

"H u m a n . . . T u r n    a r o u n d a n d F a c e   m e. . . "

I slowly turned around, eyes open wide in fear. A pair of eyes catch my gaze, round lapis lazulis with slits in the middle, a cloudy mist fills the air as this hidden atrocity lights a blunt, takes a puff, and  breaths mist into my face. I immediately start coughing badly, the smoke having a menthol-like effect, a frozen feeling straight down my throat. God its feels like a cough drop just got shoved down my throat. 

“N o t    u s e d t o   i t , I s u p o s e . . . ”

Still coughing from the cough drop second hand smoke, i look at this...thing with watery eyes and ask something quite stupid.

“w-what the hell are you?”

Let me explain why this was stupid. What this thing is, is a mother loving, omnipotent Grand Elder Dragon, straight outta the underworld. How do I know this? Eyes the color of unnatural ice, the stupid elongated tone of voice, the cough drop second hand smoke, which by the way is created by a cigar made from the menthollyptus plant, a bit of sliver dust, a bit of crushed Golden Shabaath, and the ashes of the Eboreal Ash, . And how do i know it's this specific combination of plants and metal dust? Because the burn in my throat and the dizziness of my eyes feels the same way as when i have to go to my pothead boss whose name I will not mention, who also is a dragon(a lesser dragon i believe). Not a stupidly powerful dragon as this one in front of me-

“W i l l   Y o u N o t   A d r e s s M e  B y M y

T i t l e ? ”

… did this dragon just read my-

“ y e s . . .   i d i d . ”

��� this mother lovin dragon. His Name is Sytar, the Province of all that is Time. This is a Timelord, someone who could manipulate time at will, and is able to go back into the past and future at will. However, only those who can set in motion the future are Prophets, those who divine prophecies among Heroes. 

“H e r o e s-

“Can you just shut up with that stupid tone?”

“...and why should I, Mere mortal?”

“uhh...Because you came here to tell me something?”

“... that is true. Ahem. Allow me to propose some…Exposition.”

...what?

“What the genuine fuck are you talking about?” I ask in an actual concerned voice.

“...i'm just gonna give some exposition. Explain about heros.. Y'know, basic hero talk.”

“...why though? I already know about heroes and their grand and glorious exploits. I don’t need the exposition Sytar.”

“ its for the audience, idiot.”

“The what? What audience?” I look around for any signs of fades or missing bits of my apartment. Usually, grand dragons want to play around and recreate the rooms of their victims through illusionary magic. Also, they set up wireless connections and broadcast their mischief to major television channels. It's also one of Mia’s favorite shows, called The Fool’s Cage with NICK JOOOONES! Or something like that. I don’t watch much television. Just the forecast. Hopefully this isn’t that show.

“I’m not doing that Alex. Im too sophisicated for that dumb soap oprea. Also, who’s Mia?”

“None of your fucking business.”

“Chill dude. I'm not gonna hurt her-”

“Just shut up.” I rub my head and sit down. This is just stupid. Why is this dragon in my room, why can’t I just sleep, and why is there still some delicious musty tea on my mug. Although it's cold now, so its just now mediocre musty tea. Taking a sip of my mediocre musty tea, I ponder the reasons of this dragon being in my already cramped room.

“If you would stop explaining stuff, i would tell you why.”

“Can you shut up?”

“Can you explain why you're being so rude mortal?” This thirteen foot monster with a sixteen foot tail, scales as pale as moonstones, with just a tinge of blue, and nails...or should I say claws, as black as coal, all wrapped up in a bathrobe lined with alpaca fur, and flip flops with small bunny ears...Mia would like these… and a long, girthy, absolutely unnecessary cigar, lit with a teal flame. Wow.. You must really have some worn out lungs huh Sytar?

“ as a matter of fact, my lungs are perfectly fine, thank you very much.” Just as the omnipotent dragon starts coughing like a 40 year old smoker. Don’t Smoke kiddos. 

“...anyway, as I was saying… Heroes are given a Prophecy by a Prophet to fulfill, as it is their purpose as a sworn and pledged Hero, and by receiving this blessing, they are given eternal life. That is, they stop aging at a certain age, and can choose how old they look...occasionally. Most heroes either look 20 or 30 years old. It is uncertain. However, a Hero can be slain, and its soul shall remain here. Until it has completed its prophecy, or has it’s soul devoured by a Devil, Or it is destroyed by some other manner, a Hero cannot rest. A Hero can only wait for its opportunity to arrive, or live out its days in misery...such is the tragedy of a hero..” The dragon wipes a petty tear of his cheeks with such unnecessary flair. I wasn’t paying attention though. While this high-of-his-rockers dragon blabbered on about what i already knew about Heros(they teach you this in middle school history, along with the history of this nation’s government, The Federal Foundation of Terrana) I texted Mia. I asked whether or not she wanted hotdogs or ramen hotpot with some delicious musty tea. She wanted the hotdogs and some actual tea. But I reminded her that delicious musty tea was actual tea. Then she sent me a gif with a Gonodorf wizard rolling its eyes and some text on top saying ‘when your roommate is a dad-joke loving dork but you be wanting some actual food’. Kids these days with their memes and what not. Though...Mia isn’t actually a child, she’s old enough to drive around the pier and order her favorite milk tea with boba. Although, she still wakes up early to watch her morning ‘anime’ instead of doing her online college work, and still asks for some SourPatch Dwarves, and still cuddles up to me when she has nightmares...Anyway, she then tells me that she’s bringing one of her friends back home, and she’ll come home in about 20 minutes. Shit! I face the high-as-a-skyscraper dragon and tell him to…

“Leave. Now.”

The dragon, whom took another puff of his cigar, which was now half the length before he arrived, responded in a rather concerning manner…

“Can I at least say that your a hero and explain that…” he takes a moment to recollect his thoughts… “to the audience?”

“N-no!” I manage to say before I start coughing again, accidentally breathing in the cough drop second hand smoke.

“Dude ...it's not that bad….” He really was lost now, gone beyond all hope.

“Look, Wannabe Sytar, Two people live in this household and one of them is not used to the smell of smoke at all, and you won’t shut up about all this hero nonsense, and look-” and another coughing fit ensued from all the cough drop second hand smoke. “J-just go. Come back when your not a bloody stoner” for fucks sakes...Alex rushes around the apartment, opening every window they had. The dragon chuckled and recited a familiar phrase. 

“There are Three curses a hero must avoid, lest they shall lose their lives. A Hero must always beware of a Dragon’s Wrath, A Madman’s Oath, and a False God’s Promise. You do know this, don’t you Alex?”

“Y-yes i know” said Alex with a sore throat. The second hand smoke was getting to him pretty badly. “Why bother telling me this?” the dragon sighed and went for another puff of his blunt, decided against it, and place it away in a pocket dimension. 

“Alex...i am a tempermental dragon, cursed with Devil’s Scawl. I cannot prevent a berserk state this late into my life. The scawl is as painful as a parasitic cancer can be. Therefore, I use medicinal herbs to ease my pain away. It just so happens to be in the form of a cigar. I know of the conditions in this household, and I’ll try not to overstay this welcome.” 

The air froze, particles of dust and smoke slowed to a stop, creating an interstellar, ethereal effect. It suddenly got a lot...colder...what the… 

“Alex. there is something I must tell you. We do not have much time…”

“... i'm listening.” I grab the chair to my desk and sit down, wondering at what will the dragon say.

“Alex Ewyrm, You are a Hero who has not taken the Pledge. You will be entangled in the strings of Fate, You will be enwrapped in a story much, Much more grand than you could ever imagine. You will lose, You will gain, and your actions as a Hero shall decide the Destiny of the whole Universe. Alex Ewyrm, Son of Eris and Terrice Ewyrm, and grandchild to a knight of the 13th Order to Maxwell’s Commandment Squadron, Warus Garne Ewyrm, Known as the Hero who drew the cursed blade-

“Exodus. . .”Alex sat there in shock… So this dragon was legitimate. No other dragon could have found out either his parent’s name, or the commandment in which his grandfather served. There was also the fact that Sytar knew about his inheritance, what was passed down, generation to generation.

“Yes. Exodus… the cursed sword Exodus. You see now, that i am Sytar, Providence to all that is Time. I came here to warn you. I shall lead your way, be your guidance, and provided mentorship when you need it most. That is my Pledge I will take as Sytar, Providence to all that is Time!”

...wait. Wait wait wait hold the hot pipe up! Is he suggesting..?!

“..are you saying… you want to be my mentor..?”

“Yes! That is what I pledge and that is what I shall do with pride and dignity!”

I groan and put my weary head on my hands. Why...do i have to be with this pothead…

“H-hey, i'm a nice guy, there’s no need-”

“JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP WILL YA?”

...then there’s silence...the smoke has long left the room. The dust has settled… on the entrance, a small but audible knock can be heard. Then, a voice.

“uhh...Alex...Are you Ok?”

Idk what the fuck this is

It's exactly 4.20 am as I start to write this. I'd usually be easily amused (as usual) at the fact it's 420 but not right now. I don't really know what this is. Like I don't know what it is im writing. I don't really know what anything is. I don't know what I am or like who I am. And no I'm not stoned or trying to be a mysterious angsty little indie kid. I'm genuinely out of my mind right now. I'm feeling a little bit more sane now I'm writing I don't know if it's the act of my brain articulating or if it's me getting out these weird fucking feelings but it's working so il do it. I'm still not feeling completely normal yet. I'm gonna explain what is happening to the best of my knowledge. Which is pretty limited so don't expect much idk. It is like the 7th of January technically because it's morning. I had a normal day today well normal considering the previous few days or weeks since Christmas. Everyday I've been waking up late not doing anything except texting on my phone and facetiming my best friend. She has no leg. Just including that because I usually forget. But yeah so I did nothing all day and usually or for the previous days at least i have been staying awake all night and into the next morning then sleeping then waking up late and repeating I think you might get it now. But today and yesterday I have been sleeping at kinda more normal people hours 11-12 pm is it 12 am actually idk but yeah then I wake up at around 4 and stay awake for a while on my phone again then sleep and wake up late. Okay now you kind of have a bit of understanding to how my past few weeks have went. Today/tonight/this morning I fell asleep at around 11-12 I woke up at 2 am and I felt so sick worse then yesterday oh yeah by the way I have the flu. It is actually painful my body and head are aching, coughing badly, congested nose, fever etc I just feel shitty. So I woke up anyways and I felt so so sick which was annoying cos I had felt better yesterday or like a few hours ago idkk. But I felt so awful so I started going on my phone and watching stuff cos I couldn't go back asleep. I gradually realised I feel very weird like in my head like disoriented, weak, dizzy all in my head and kind of feeling a bit out of my mind. And I don't know what's happening this happens every once in a while well actually often but like I don't know what it is that is happening all I know is that IT is happening. I can't explain it I don't even know why I'm trying to write about it when I can't explain it at all. I'm going to try maybe il do examples. Have you ever taken e? Ecstasy like I mean tablets ? Or well any drugs idk. Well if you have and your familiar with being out of your face but in a good way it's like barley but kind of similar but very very bad and not good. If you haven't idk imagine your thoughts and your consciousness are a balloon usually attached to you by a string but the strict broke and the balloon keeps floating away but it stays just close enough your not completely without it but it's floating and moving around and being weird as fuck. If someone actually reads this they probably think I'm on drugs right now. Wrong, I kinda wish. Actually no I feel like this combined with being under the influence of anything would be terrible. I just realised I'm sitting here talking to the notes app. Anyways moving on I have really bad depression I've never been to the doctor about it but when you have it this bad you just fucking know and don't give me that bollox about how "OMG every teenager is self diagnosing themselves through the internet nowadays every teenager has anxiety and depression". I've kind of known since a very young age there was something not normal or right there. Really dumb suicide attempts that would actually never work but 10 year old me thought would kinda give me a track record. If you want examples okay I'll give you some be warned there so stupid they might be funny. Example 1) banging a heavy hairbrush off my head over and over whilst sobbing uncontrollably then trying to sleep in hopes of me dying of a concussion in my sleep. Yeah stupid I know 11 year old me was weird. I may have been younger actually I just have a very very bad memory. Example 2) drinking cleaning products age about 10. I don't remember what happened to provoke this or the other one but my friends were in my house having a sleep over nothing bad even happened I don't remember though and I randomly felt a wave of sadness coming on so I locked myself in the bathroom my plan was to stay in there till I was done being a sad emotional wreck but then I started drinking stuff thinking it would kill me. Wrong all it did was make lots and lots of bubbles come out of my nose and mouth as I sobbed on my bathroom floor. My ma eventually got angry at me for leaving my friends in my room so long and being in there so long so I cleaned my face and went outside. There probably hilarious attempts to others and quite embarrassing for me but I genuinely wanted to die. And I was like a child so idk. When I was 11-12 I smashed this perfume bottle by accident and my ma was cleaning it up and I remember keeping one of the shards and hiding it in my art supply box thing idk and I planned to cut myself with it but I could never do it all I did was scrape my wrists and little tiny bits of blood came out idk why I couldn't do it I'm probably suppose to be happy I didn't do it but all I can think is why was I so weak why didn't I do it. I would be annoyed if I had scars though cos I'd hate for people to see them or for people to think I was attention seeking. Not that all people who cut themselves are attention seeking but some people think like that unfortunately. That's one thing I'm never doing or at least never ever doing intentionally is attention seeking. My big brother drilled that into my head at an early age that I was "an attention seeking cunt" so il never do that. Like I'm writing all this stuff and I'm getting annoyed at myself. I am actually thinking in my head " why are you sitting there feeling sorry for your self your so pathetic" I don't even know what to do I feel like il never be able to deal with the meanest most cruel person I know, which is me. Why does my brain do this like it attacks its self it is so weird. What is the point why does this happen? And because I'm aware of it and think of it you'd think I can stop it wouldn't you. I do have some good days. I don't remember the last good day that didn't involve being stoned or drunk or on drugs. But sober or not they happen. They just end really fast. Say if I have two really good days. Il randomly start thinking about how ugly I am how I have the worst personality all the bad stuff my brother told me about my self everyday growing up. All the bad shit about me my ma said to me. Every bad encounter every time someone said something about me that I can't fix. All the times I fucked up all the shit I didn't accomplish that I could have. How I have no friends how I haven't had a real boyfriend I love or even liked actually and probably won't ever have one. How fucked up the world is how there's people with real problems like living in actual poverty in third world countries and I sit here feeling sad over my fucking thoughts and other people's thoughts. Why do I do it? And because I'm aware of it and think of it you'd think I can stop it wouldn't you. I've been writting for 35 minutes now and I actually don't feel any better. So I think il just stop.
