hey!! can you do what it would like dating jack champion?? only if u want to tho! :)
HEADCANNONS | JACK CHAMPION
warnings: none just fluff
Tumblr media
jack worships the ground that you walk on. he heavily depends on validating his partner. not a second will go by without him posting about you or complementing you.
“you know you’re gorgeous, right?” jack walks up to you with a huge smile on his face. he hugs you kissing down your neck.
he’s most likely into physical touch. he’s totally touched starved and is so glad when he is validated. you guys will always be seen together. jacks hands will always have to be on you somehow.
he loves taking naps with you. he loves taking hikes, going to amusement parks, and taking you to interviews. as long as he is spending time with you he’s fine.
he talks about you a lot in interviews. a interviewer could ask him his favorite color and it would end up relating to you.
he is such a golden retriever. he is never afraid to show that he’s in love with you. if you are in a relationship with him you won’t ever feel alone. you definitely won’t feel insecure with him either.
he loves kissing your hands, neck and temple. he really will kiss you anywhere that you let him. he enjoys when you play with his hair when you cuddle. he will get grumpy if you stop.
jacks head lays in between your legs with his head on your stomach. your fingers gently massage through his hair as you scroll through instagram.
as you scroll through instagram a call come through. it was jenna, she was facetiming you when you picked up. “hi!” you smile remove your hand from his head.
“hey y/n! i was wondering if you would like to come over for a bit?”
“yeah, of course i will-” before you can finish jack grabs your phone and hangs up. you laughed smacking him lightly.
he would definitely do face mask, make bracelets and run you bubble baths all the time. will just sit there while you get ready for bed. he definitely has about 100+ bad photos of you getting ready/unready.
when i tell you his whole phone is filled with pictures of you. you could literally be eating a granola bar and he takes a picture.
calls and text you all day long. you could’ve just left his house and he’s already asking you when you’re coming over again. if you didn’t respond in 5 minutes he just keeps texting you until you respond. definitely overthinks it aswell. he will text mason thinking it’s over.
JACK: MASON. y/ns going to break up with me.
MASON: what did she say??
JACK: she didn’t say anything :(
MASON: oh, so its not happening.
he loves when you go to the gym with him. even if you guys are just goofing off the entire time. he definitely loves helping you spot yourself. he definitely loves helping you reach your full potential. he’s always encouraging you to keep going.
every week he gives you a new sweatshirt and takes back the old one. he makes sure they smell exactly like him so you’re comforted. he definitely enjoys when you wear his hoodies in front of other guys.
you guys are usually hanging out with trinity. you just consider her as a sister eventually. both of you are pretty close. all of you have a weekly dinner.
he loves buying you clothing and jewlery. he will walk into a mall and buy you everything possible. he will buy you matching necklaces.
he’s definitely super nosy. if there’s a fight going down in your groupchat he’s always on your side.
“she’s getting on my nerves right now. she always is on alana’s side even when she’s in the wrong,” you groan throwing your head back
“you should definitely drop her girl. she needs get out of here with her woodchuck looking ass,” he jokes staring at your phone to see what she says. you laugh at him, he immediately makes you feel better.
surprisingly he’s a good artist. like not that he can make self portraits but simple landscapes. he definitely convinced you that he can’t paint you. you didn’t tell him but that was one of the worst self portraits of yourself you’ve seen.

A oneshot let's see if I do this right, can you do a oneshot of Hedwig meeting the reader? As in the start of it all I wanna see a little mini story of all that
I've got my eye on you
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
female!yandere OC x reader
Summary: A new students catches the eye of the popular, rich girl and she finds herself falling for you harder than she's ever done before. Hedwig comes up with a plan to lull you in and make sure you'll be hers only.
Warnings: none really, I think, maybe manipulation? Hedwig changes in front of reader (back towards them) but still-
Word count: 2.1k
Senior year. Only one more year until she’s free and gets out of here. She’ll go to Paris. Or Milan. Maybe travel around the world?
Hedwig steps into the classroom and greets her friends. Her father has forced her to go to a normal school to understand the normal people. They’re nice, but she feels like they’re not understanding her in the way her rich friends understand her. Hedwig can’t talk about her life in the same way without getting jealous looks. But she’s come to terms with it now. Her wealth isn’t only negative, she's gotten quite popular by it. If you don’t want her, you want to be her. 
Everything is normal … until she steps her foot into the art classroom for the first time this semester. Someone is sitting in the very spot she normally sits. Someone she’s never seen before. 
“Excuse me”, she says. 
The person — who happens to be you — looks up. 
“Yeah?” you ask quietly. 
“This is my desk”, she says. 
“Oh, I’m sorry … I didn’t know …”
You’re about to take your stuff and leave, but she stops you. 
“No, no, no”, she says. “It’s okay. You can stay. There are two chairs, aren’t there? I’ll sit beside you.”
“I’ll remember it for the next time.”
“Thank you.”
Hedwig's friend has to sit somewhere else. The friend gives you a nasty look before sitting down in the front of the class. 
You start working on your new projects. Hedwig glances over at your self portrait and finds herself smiling. 
“Pretty”, she says. 
“Oh, thank you”, you say quietly without looking at her.
“I don’t know what I should do. I can’t come up with something.” She drops her pencil down on the table. “My brain isn’t working.”
You look up from your portrait and meet her hazel eyes. 
“Why don’t you paint a scenery?” you ask. “That always works.”
Hedwig smiles. “What kind of scenery should I paint? 
You think. “Maybe … a winter landscape? You won’t have to use too many colors and details.”
“Thank you.” She blushes. “What’s your name, by the way? I haven’t seen you before.”
“Y/N, I’m new.”
“Really? No wonder I didn’t know who you were. I’m so sorry for not noticing you earlier.”
She can’t understand how she hasn’t. You’re gorgeous! How has she not noticed you until today? Now that she has, she can’t tear her eyes off of you.
“It’s okay”, you whisper, suddenly embarrassed. “I was actually trying my best not to be noticed.”
“Why?”
You shrug and look away. Hedwig can feel her entire body heat up. She looks down at your hand holding the pen and wants nothing more than to take it in hers. 
“You’re good at drawing”, she says when she realizes that she’s been staring at your hand for a few minutes. Playing it off as staring at your drawing. “It really looks like you.”
“Thank you.”
“Could you help me with mine?”
You nod and turn to her. Hedwig’s holding her pen and you take it out of her hands in a gentle manner that makes her heart flip. Your fingers brush against her hand and it sends electric shocks all throughout her body. She gulps and watches how you help her sketch out an outline of a few mountains before turning back to your own drawing. All nerves in her body are screaming at her to make you touch her again. She can’t understand why she’s suddenly feeling like this, but she knows that she needs more. 
“I-I’m Hedwig by the way”, she says quickly, desperate to pick up the conversation again. 
“I know”, you answer quietly. “Everyone talks about you.”
“Oh.” Hedwig’s suddenly terrified of what you’ve heard about her, maybe people’s gossip has made you dislike her already? She feels a weird longing for you to like her, to give her approval. “What are they saying?”
“They talk about you like you’re a celebrity. They’re talking about your parents and how they think your life is. I’m not really sure, I haven’t heard much.”
“Don’t listen. People are always talking.”
You nod and the situation grows silent again. Hedwig bites her lip. 
“Could you help me again?” she asks. “I don’t know how to do this.”
You give out a small sigh and turn to her again. Unlike last time, you place your hand over hers, guiding her hand and the pen. Hedwig can swear that her heart stops at the feeling of your soft hand against hers. She feels dizzy. 
WHen it’s lunch time, Hedwig asks if you want to eat with her. You nod shyly. You’ve never sat with the popular kids before and you don’t know any of these kids. Only Hedwig and you only met her an hour ago. To your surprise, she barely acknowledges her friends. Her full attention is on you, asking you where you’re from, what made you move here, how your family life looks like, what your interests are, what makes you scared and happy and what kind of person you are. Not a single time during lunch does she look away from your face. She has a sparkling hint in her eyes and a smile on her perfect face. 
Tumblr media
The very next day, Hedwig looks up from her desk when you enter the classroom. She’s sitting alone today.
“Y/N, do you want to sit with me?” she asks and removes her bag from the chair beside her. “I saved a seat for you.”
Without answering, you sit down beside her. She’s quick to turn to you and ask you about your morning. 
“Y/N, would you like to come over to my house after school and study?” she asks. “We have a test coming up in two weeks and … I need a study buddy.”
You nod carefully. A bit of help on geometry wouldn’t hurt. And that’s how you come home to Hedwig’s gigantic villa for the first time. It looks more like a smaller mansion than a regular house. A white — almost yellow — Georgian house with lots of details. The entrance to the driveway is a pair of giant black gates to keep unwanted people from coming in. She has a chauffeur who drives her to and from school each day and he greets you nicely, adding honorifics. 
“My parents aren’t home”, Hedwig says over her shoulder as you enter the big hall.
A maid welcomes Hedwig home and offers to take your bag, but you shake your head, too intimidated by the sheer size of Hedwig’s house to be able to think clearly. 
You follow Hedwig upstairs, bag clutched in your hands. 
“This is scaring me a bit …”, you whisper. 
“What?” she asks in worry. 
“All of this … it’s a bit intimidating.”
Hedwig smiles reassuringly. “Don’t be scared. It’s not a museum, it’s a home.”
Hopefully it’s your home too, but Hedwig doesn’t say that.
“Are you hungry?” she asks and opens the door to her room. 
Even her room looks like money. 
“A bit” you admit.”
“Yeah, I noticed that you didn’t eat the school lunch”, Hedwig smiles and. “I don’t blame you. I’ll go tell the chef to prepare something for you, okay? He makes fantastic food.”
“You have a chef?”
“Yeah! You’ll love his food, I promise. He makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches you’ll ever have. I’ll go tell him to make some for you.”
Before you can stop her, she’s already darted out the door. You decide to pass the time by looking around her white room. You find pictures of her and alleged friends on cruises and yachts, her in pools and in the mountains plastered on the wall. This girl seems to have been everywhere. 
“I’m back!” Hedwig smiles and creeps up beside you. “What are you looking at?”
“Just your pictures”, you answer. “Are these your friends?”
“Yeah … they are. I don’t meet them as much because my father wants me to be in a public school with all the other children of our city. They go to a private school together. But I spend a lot of my vacations with them. We’ve been all around the world.”
“I can tell.”
“Do you like to travel?”
“Who doesn’t? I like to explore new places, but it costs a lot to go somewhere.”
“What’s your favorite place to visit?”
You shrug. “I haven’t been to so many places. What’s yours?”
“I really like Paris. It’s a beautiful city and they have such tasty food.” She turns around. “Should we study a little?”
You nod. You sit down at her desk and bring out your calculators.
A knock on the door interrupts you. It's the chef with the grilled cheese sandwiches. Hedwig thanks him and brings the plate over to you. Two perfectly grilled sandwiches are placed on the porcelain. Your mouth waters. 
“Bon appetit”, Hedwig smiles. “They’re all yours.”
“Thank you”, you say shyly but you don’t dare to touch them. Somehow you feel guilty.
“Y/N, are you okay?” 
“Yes … I just feel weird for making your chef make this for me.”
“It’s his job, don’t worry about it. Eat up now!”
This time, you dare to pick it up and take a bite. Heaven has granted access to your mouth.
“I told you it was good”, Hedwig smiles. 
You eat while you study and when you’re finally done, you notice how much time has passed. 
“It seems like you’ll have to stay here overnight …”, Hedwig says and the next sentence she says is nothing but a great lie. “The last bus has gone and my driver has finished for the day. Can your parents pick you up?”
You shake your head. They wouldn’t be pleased to drive you at this hour. It only makes Hedwig smile. Perfect. 
“You can stay here, my bed is big enough for two”, she says. “Just send a quick message to your parents and tell them that you’ll stay here.”
You sigh and do as she says. Your parents send you a heart back. They’re only happy that you’ve made a friend. 
You eat a delicious dinner in the kitchen made by her chef. It hits you that you haven’t seen her parents at all, but you don’t question it. From what you know about her, they’re busy.
When you’re going to bed, Hedwig walks over to her walk-in closet to grab herself a new pair of pajamas for both you and her. One of them being in your size. To your great surprise, she turns her back to you and removes her clothes. You gulp and try to look away in embarrassment. 
“S-Shouldn’t you go into the bathroom to change?” you stutter. 
“Why?” she asks and turns around. “It’s my room. Besides, if models can change in front of twenty people they don’t know … I can change in front of one person I hold dearly. But if you want to change in the bathroom, it’s down the hall. If you want to take a shower, there’s a white towel for you hanging on the hook.”
It sounds like she has planned this. Because she has. 
You do take a shower before you change into her pajamas and return to her room. She’s lying in her bed, scrolling on her phone. 
“We have to be up by seven tomorrow”, she says. “Otherwise we’ll be late to school.”
You nod and walk around the queen sized bed. This feels so wrong somehow. You’ve never shared a bed with someone before and especially not a beautiful girl who changed in front of you fifteen minutes ago. Hedwig turns off her phone and lies down with her front facing you. You try to mirror her motions and soon you're both lying down, facing one another.
“Goodnight, sleep well”, she smiles and turns off the light. 
Her fluffy sheets and soft mattress lull you into a deep slumber. Hedwig, however, can’t seem to be able to close her eyes. She’s staring at your features, wondering how she got so lucky to get you here. Her plan worked! She’s a genius! Soon, you’ll agree to be hers and these kinds of nights will be a recurring thing. Soon, she’ll dare to wrap her arms around you as you go to sleep. She’ll be able to kiss you and give you everything you want. 
Oh, Hedwig can’t wait until you’re fully hers. Then, no one will be able to take you from her, because what Hedwig wants, Hedwig gets … and so has it always been. The ones that cross her always get shoved aside one way or another. 
“You’re mine, my wonderful little Y/N”, she whispers and lets her fingertips brush over your cheek. “I’ll treat you so well, I promise. I’ll make sure you’re safe and happy. My beautiful Y/N.”

hey,,hey! I was wondering if you still do the matchmaking thing? If you do:
Fandom: percy jackson or the cruel prince.
Im pretty tall, I have a wolfcut but it's like...overgrown. I wear glasses and have an arched nose. A few dyed streaks of dull purple is present in my hair. I like being funny/humorous and making people laugh, however I'm quick to anger as well,sadly. I think I'm a loyal friend and like making self depracating jokes. Feelings are not really my thing, but I can comfort people by making them laugh. I usually wear baggy shirts and cargo pants, but I'm okay with an occasional frock or skirt. My favourite colors are blue, black, purple and white.
Hope this is enough I couldn't think of anything else. 😭😭
Tumblr media
Just putting this here for reference 
Your Fandom Ship: Grover Underwood (PJO) and Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl (DCU)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Explanation: starting off with your physical appearance I think that he would be extremely attracted to you because I think that he just likes Wolf cuts and thinks that you’re dyed hair is super cool and kick ass. when you get angry easily, I feel like he’s two times faster to delude the anger and one of the only people that would be able to calm me down because he doesn’t really like conflict, but he will try to work through it if you’re mad at him for some reason and he will own up to it. he thinks you’re super cute and always laughs the hardest at your jokes and I feel like you guys are extremely loyal to each other and one of the best couples like no one could ever really imagine one or the other getting jealous or cheating or things like that because you guys just have a really healthy ideology. also, I feel like you guys would really balance each other out because of feelings aren’t your fit thing feelings are definitely Grovers thing and he could help you try and express the more and in return you could maybe help him try to not let everything that anyone says to him get to him so deeply. because we’re talking about P JO, it’s safe to assume that you have ADHD because you’re a Demigod, which is totally normal for him and I don’t think he would be phased by it at all because he’s used to dealing with campers with ADHD dyslexia, all sorts of things like that would help you sort through it and figure out what’s right for you. he’s also an extrovert and even though he’s shit at art I feel like he would absolutely support you and ask a ton of questions and if he did a portrait of him, I just think he would die like he wouldn’t even know what to do and he’d like try carving it into a tree or something. I don’t even know he just love if he did a portrait of him. He’d be so proud. I mean this is also canon that he likes being someone’s muse Because he meets this daughter of I don’t know. I forgot what it is, but it’s in the chalice of the gods where she’s really good at photography and he constantly wants to be in her photos so I feel like it would be the same thing for you. He’d always be asking. Hey, can you draw me? Hey can you write a poem about me you know things like that, he respect if you said no but he’d love it if you said yes. He’s also a very touchy guy and he’s definitely the person to go to if you’re looking for words of affirmation because he would be consistently complementing you throughout your relationship anyway I think you guys are cute together and I would ship this. 🩷🩷🩷
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Explanation: starting off with appearances I think that she thinks you’re cute as hell and would make sure that you know that as well she wears glasses too, so she thinks that yours are adorable and she also thinks that hers don’t look as good on her as yours look on you and is a little bit jealous of that. I also think that she thinks your hair is pretty bad ass and loves the different streaks in it and just really loves your hair in general and it’s probably one of her favorite features of you. She’s also pretty quick to anger so I’d say that’s one of the only downsides of your guys relationship is that you guys would have to kind of work through your anger issues together because yeah girl also need some anger management skills but I feel like you guys could help each other with that through relation like you would get that she gets angry easily and she would get you getting angry easily. She appreciates your loyalty and I think that she would also kind of help you talk through your feelings. She hasn’t had a lot of loyalty in her life so I think that she would feel greatly honored that you stick by her side through thick and thin, no matter what, and by that she would forever owe you. She prefers more clean, casual academic types of outfits, but she respects your style. She knows comfort over fashion is a number one role. You guys would be perfect because she’s actually an introvert so I feel like you would help her warm up pretty easily and I think she would also really love your humor like I feel like she would laugh really hard and that’s kind of how you guys got along cause she was being a grumpy little introvert and then you befriended her crack some jokes and she was instantly like whoa. I love this person so much. They’re so cool. I feel like she would read and draw with you and then I don’t feel like she’s act at poetry, but she would support you and she’s great with vocabulary so she could at least help you add some advanced wording your poetry if you ever needed it. It would take her a while to get used to physical touch, but I’m pretty sure that she would be into it if you were and words of affirmation of course she is constantly complementing you and I feel like they’re genuine too. She wouldn’t complement you unless she thought you deserved it and she does think you deserve it. 💙💙💙

My dad is really stressing me out.
I'm self-harmed and I've hit my head.
Again again and again.
Every time I take a step in the right direction and I feel like I'm starting to get better he grabs me and reacts overly aggressive and it ruins everything.
There's so much trauma from my childhood that I feel like I'll never be able to get past and I won't be able to have a healthy relationship or have children or family of my own.
I love all my friends so much and I'm so glad that they're there for me.
I wish that this could stop.
I've tried the coping mechanisms that work for me but my dad says they're wrong. My dad reacted like I was going to get a 5150 for listening to Taylor swift.
It's so insane and I don't know what to do.
The other night a drunk lady knocked on the door and asked if I was okay because she'd heard me and my dad shouting.
In that moment I just told her yeah he grabbed me and because of his age it's hard to tell whether he's grabbing me because of dementia or because he's always this aggressive and he thinks it's normal. Men are supposed to be like this and women are supposed to take it.
And it's abusive if this behavior is rejected and in a relationship this is how it's supposed to be.
All of these things that it's supposed to be because of different labels that were designed and defined by older generations long gone by that are not in existence anymore.
I've tried to explain to my dad that I am non-binary and gay or rather a queer.
He started immediately ripping apart my artwork and saying that my writing and drawings are rubbish.
Yet, in the past he kept a drawing by one of my childhood friends because he thought it was mine. I was really confused as it said her name on it and it was her handwriting and art style. And the framed things, that my friend drew in an art club, which has their signature on the bottom of the frames, and my dad knows this person, yet he thought that was a self portrait and my artwork.
If a picture belongs to me then it's my picture but it doesn't mean that it's me that drew it or painted it. If I'm leaving him my writing and lectures around or trying to show my dad my artwork that's me trying to express myself.
He thinks so negatively about all of my coping mechanisms and all the things I'm trying to do to help cope with my mental health and manage my emotions.
He says that my qualifications are just qualifications and when I have two or three jobs he says I'm unemployed.
If I exhaust myself doing things for him and need to sleep in he says I'm lazy.
I try so so hard to be a good person and I snap because I have a lot of trauma and I just want to be left alone to manage my symptoms and anxiety because I can.
My friends say that I can. My friends believe I'm capable. My friends praise my writing and my artwork and they say that I will be able to learn to drive and if I don't they know that I can get help with a bus pass for my ADHD. My friends help me walk through and process things.
My friends help break down information so I can understand it even though I've got dyslexia. Friends talk to me about the order of the Star wars films and about the controversy of Rowling and Harry Potter.
Friends understand that I'm a good cook and I enjoy baking. My bestie suggested buying an air fryer for ways to make things easier and tasty. I try lots of things.
I'm fully capable of recycling and sorting the recycling into different colored bins is straightforward. I was able to do it at my friends' houses and I'm able to do it when I live alone. However, for some reason my dad thinks that I'm psychic for when it is and I can't do it. All I ever asked is to be reminded of what day is bin day.
The whole argument tonight started because I wanted to ask him when bin day was casually while I was doing the dishes and then I was going to ask if he wanted to dry the dishes as I thought that's something he wanted me to do.
All of his complaining I thought that he wanted me to encourage him to do things too. You always complain when I do the dishes and put them away but then I complain when he wakes me up drying the dishes and everything. But if I do the dishes he doesn't put them away unless there's a point where he can't seemingly wake me up doing it - it feels really bizarre.
I tried to encourage him to do the laundry over the weekend but then he thought that meant I couldn't do my laundry and didn't know how to put away towels.
So I tried to say to him that I would put away the towels when I got back from Tesco. But he misunderstood me to think I was asking him the opening times of Tesco and then decided to come storming into my room when I was trying to calm down from the earlier misunderstanding. And he does that throughout the night.
Constantly feel on edge and like I can't relax. A long time ago my bestie told me to give my dad slack but the second I do that and try to relax my dad will freak out...
I know I'm not really making much sense or putting things into order right now.
I do really need to sleep.
Exhausted.
Heres Swifty cos of what my dad said.
Call the police because I want to listen to Taylor Swift as a way to calm down and focus? Would they not say that's like a prank call? Lol 🤣 I'm hungry now!
Also the living tombstone because I have another rant about my dad brewing 😭🤯

There's A World You Need To Know: 6 - This growing need
About a month later, Kate was in session with Gregory and Hyacinth, doing self portraits.
“Hey, Hyacinth. Can we talk about what’s going on in your drawing? Would that be OK?”
“Um, I don’t know if I can.”
“Oh, OK. Why do you feel like you may not be able to? Do you not want to?”
Hyacinth threw her colored pencil down. “I want to, but–”
Gregory sighed, exasperated. “She’s sad because you and Anthony don’t talk anymore.”
“Greg, shut up!”
“Gregory, if Hyacinth doesn’t want to talk about it, you can’t–”
“But I want to talk about it! She’s scared we can’t because it’s about you, not us. Not really.”
Fuck. “Um, you can tell me, if you’d like. I’ll let you know if I can’t talk about it, OK?”
“Well, Hy and I thought you and Anthony were friends but he’s never around when you’re here anymore. Um… Actually, we thought you were in love or something.”
Fuck!
“We tried to tell Mum and she told us we can’t talk about it. Which is so dumb! Why can’t we talk about it?!”
“Greggy, can you take a breath? Remember when we talked about how even if you write, or sing, or draw, or breathe, some things can still be really hard to talk about?”
“Yes,” the kids said in unison.
“Well, it’s no different with adults. And we said you really can’t make someone talk about something if they don’t want to.”
“But we want to talk about it.”
Kate took a deep, long breath. “OK.”
Hyacinth took a mindful breath as well. “Well, Gregory and I really liked when you and Anthony liked each other. Anthony was so happy. It made everything better. The stuff we talked about, with him spending more time with us and feeling more like a brother than a mum. He used to act more like Mum. I know he used to have to be our mum when Mum was unwell but she’s taking care of us now. For a little while he stopped being our mum but now he’s our mum again. I liked when he was our brother. I didn’t know he could be just our brother.”
“It was awesome!” Greg interjected.
“It was! So, when you guys started being friends and talking all the time, we thought he would be our brother forever. I know it's selfish.”
Kate put her hands over Hyacinth’s “It’s OK to feel selfish sometimes. Everyone does. And you’re doing a really good job talking about it. I completely understand what you are saying.”
“So, if you two got married, Anthony would be happy forever and so we would have our brother forever.”
“You guys, it’s very good that you want your brother to be happy. And I know you feel like you know what would make him happy, but it’s important to remember you can’t make someone happy and you may not know exactly what they need. And them being happy may not look the way you think it should. Just like we talked about with your mother, right?”
The kids just nodded, deflated.
“So… You aren’t in love and aren’t getting married?” Hyacinth asked shyly.
“Kids, I want you to focus on the things you can control. Do you remember what those things are?”
Greg spoke up. “How we handle and communicate our feelings, how we react to the world around us, and how we ask for help when we need it.”
He then turned to his sister and whispered, “That means ‘no,’ Hyacinth. They aren’t.”
Kate walked into her Mum’s house and it was quiet. “Mum?”
“Kate?” Mary walked out into the hall. “Hello, love!”
Mary gave Kate a hug, and when she did, Kate clung to her and couldn’t stop the tears from falling immediately.
“Kate? Kate, what is it?”
“I messed up, Mummy.”
“Come, let’s sit down.”
Once they settled on the couch in the living room, Mary clutched Kate’s hands.
“What happened?”
After a breath, Kate answered, “I resigned from working with the Bridgertons.”
“Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I know it’s hard for you when you stop working with a family. You get so invested in your work. But, you said you messed up?”
“Well.. I–I got too invested. In the kids. And…in their brother.”
“Ah.” Mary sat back. “You two are…together?”
Kate shook her head vigorously. “We, um, we kissed. About a month and a half ago. But I haven’t seen him since.”
“OK. Well, I know that wasn’t OK, you know, because of you work, but if it was just a kiss and you aren’t seeing either other–”
“No, Mummy. It wasn’t just a kiss. I, uh, I think we love each other.”
“Oh.”
Kate squeezed her eyes shut and put her head in her hands. Mary started rubbing her back. “I know I shouldn’t have, but I kept seeing Greggy and Hy afterward. But it was… I couldn’t be who they needed me to be, who I had been for them. They started talking to me about Anthony. About me. It was a disaster. They took it pretty hard, but I had to explain to them that I’d gone as far as I could with them and I recommended Will Mondrich. He’s great. We work the same way. He’ll be good for them. But they were so upset. And I couldn’t do anything about it. They hate me.”
“I’m certain that isn’t true. You did what you had to, sweetie. I’m so sorry.”
They sat in silence as Mary continued rubbing Kate’s back and Kate’s tears continued to fall.
“So… What did you tell Anthony?”
Kate winced. “Nothing.”
“Kate.”
“I know. I’m scared. I don’t think this is enough for us to be together. And I can’t look him in the eye and disappoint him again.” 
“He’s going to find out, if he hasn’t already.”
“I know.”
“And then what?”
Kate shrugged, defeated. “He knows where to find me.” And she dreaded the idea.
That night, Anthony parked his car in front of Kate’s house. He took a few shallow breaths before running up to her door and knocking, too loud and too rapidly. He could hear shuffling on the other side of the door, but when it didn’t open, he knocked again.
“Kate, please open the door.”
There was another pause and he raised his fist to knock again when the door opened slowly.
Anthony took her in. She's painting, he thought. It was obvious from her clothes and the colorful smears everywhere. He thought about the photo she sent him while she was in Cork. The photo that would his phone's background right now if, A) Tom hadn't been the one who took it, and B) his family weren't so fucking nosy. She looked so beautiful when she was in her element. She looked beautiful all the fucking time.
"Are you alone?"
Her voice was almost a whisper. "Yes. Well…"
On cue, a little corgi puppy ran up and sat at Kate’s feet, looking up at Anthony.
"You got a dog,” though his voice implied a distinct lack of interest.
"Yes. His name is Newton." Kate stared at Anthony, not sure what to expect.
"OK. May I come in?"
Kate’s eyes widened. "I don't think that's a good idea."
It stung, but too many things were going through Anthony’s mind to linger on that. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I knew Violet would. Or Will would introduce himself."
"So? This is it, Kate. It's what was standing in our way."
Kate said nothing and Anthony panicked.
"Right? Right, Kate? Do you still… I thought this is what we were waiting for."
"It's not that simple."
Fuck, of course it wasn’t. "I love you. Do you love me?" He tried his best not to sound angry. He wasn’t angry, but this was killing him.
"Yes." Her voice was small but sure.
Anthony felt himself exhale and hadn’t realized he’d been holding his breath. At least she hadn’t hesitated. "We love each other. You aren't working for my family anymore. What else do we need?"
"Time."
"What?"
"I can't jump into a relationship with my clients' brother as soon as they aren't my clients anymore. There has to be time. Distance."
Distance? Literal distance? "How long?"
"I'm not sure, Anthony. I’m sorry."
Anthony stepped forward and pulled Kate's face to his, their foreheads touching. "Then we'll wait to tell people."
Kate shook her head vigorously. "No."
Goddammit. "Kate."
"No, I don't want us to be a secret. You deserve better than that."
Things were silent for a while save for their ragged breaths.
"Can I please kiss you?" Anthony was begging and he didn’t care. He’d never felt so desperate.
Kate nodded before tilting her chin up so their lips could meet. Immediately, Anthony’s hands were everywhere. They eventually made their way into the bun sitting messily atop her head. He blindly fumbled until her hair fell around her back and shoulders. Newton had the decency to fall asleep at some point before this.
Forgetting himself, he worked open the oversized button down she was wearing, revealing a old stretched out tank top that was so fucking thin. He started to push the overshirt down her arms, but stopped suddenly when he remembered they were in her open doorway. He may have stopped undressing her but he couldn’t stop kissing her.
"You're sure it has to be this way, right? You can't invite me in right now? I miss you so fucking much, Kate. Invite me inside. Please."
"No. No, not yet." Kate protested between kisses.
Anthony whimpered. "As soon as you say when, I'll come running. You know that, right? You are it for me."
Kate just nodded, tears mixing into their kisses but neither of them let up.
"And I'm it for you, right? Can I hear you say it? I need something. Fuck, I feel like I'm dying, baby.”
"You're it for me. I promise. I love you."

Tagged by @justmori ! Thanks so much! Wasn't sure which blog to do it on but decided on my main. @crowleys-ducks is my Good Omens sideblog so head over there if you like post-heavy Ineffables!
TAG SOMEONE YOU WANT TO KNOW AND/OR SOME OF YOUR BESTIES
favorite color: Just about any shade of blue, but I'm rather fond of navy and cobalt blue. Also I love Aziraphale and Crowley shades of gray.
last song: Archangel by Amaranthe
last movie: Uncle Frank (highly recommended, it was so moving and beautiful but also angsty so watch out for that)
currently watching: nothing
other stuff i watched this year: Good Omens, Lucifer, honestly I can't think of anything else. Otherwise I watch like the same 5 true crime shows and be sad about them.
shows i dropped this year: Lucifer. I love that show, but I had to stop in the middle of season 3 because Lucifer is a hot mess of religious trauma and he's just so triggering. Gah. I love Deckerstar though. Will pick it up again when I can.
currently reading: Her Little Flowers by Shannon Morgan. I'm only into chapter 4 I think, but it's really good so far. It's about a reclusive woman living in her crumbling English manor with several ghosts. Honestly the setting feels like the video game Goetia, but instead of demons in the walls there's ghosts, which, I don't know, is probably better?
currently listening to: Queen. Yep, it's time for the Gomens playlist.
currently working on: several art projects... a portrait of Supreme Archangel Aziraphale, an angsty picture of Crowley, uhh there's a Miguel O'Hara sketch, some ObeyMe OCs, at least two pictures of Lucifer from ObeyMe, and so many other WIPs.
current obsession/s: Good Omens. It's consumed my life and I'm okay with that. Also my ObeyMe OCs' stories which I will never post, they're just self indulgent.
uhhh I think that's everything, I'm tagging @actual-changeling @fellshish @heccubus but you definitely don't have to do this!

Assignment 1
Khalik Allah is a visual artist who transitions between photography and cinema with equal ease. His aesthetic is very colorful, full of contrast and light, and it conveys a sense of urgency. According to Allah, who is self-taught in both media, "I didn't know that they were two separate things. I considered photography as a sort of filmmaking as well as the opposite.
Allah staked his photographic fame with the publication of Souls Against the Concrete. The book, which was released in 2017 by the University of Texas Press, includes personal and dramatic images of the New York City residents who frequent the area at night on or around the corner of 125th Street and Lexington Avenue. the light coming from stores and according to Allah in the book's preface, the portraits of "those who find themselves in the worst imaginable situation" pierce the souls with the omnipresent coloured lights of rescue vehicles. “But I recognize their invulnerability and I reflect it back to them. These are psychic x-rays. I consider my photographs energy charts. During my interaction with people, I measure frequencies of soul consciousness.” In addition, If the drama of a person can be seen behind his or her eyes, then the street serves as the stage for the "street opera" that Khalik Allah documents. Allah records the lives of his subjects, the majority of whom live on the streets of Harlem without a place to call home. These portraits act as a reflection of our greater society as well as an allegory for who these individuals are. The existence of so many people who are frequently ignored is visually told in Allah's images, and the voiceless are given a voice. In honor of Magnum Photos' 75th anniversary, Man Child by Khalik Allah was chosen from among these 31 pieces to take part in the third of a series of Square Print Sales that will examine the company's rich history from 1947 to the present. The Photographers' Gallery in London, which has invited 31 of the photographers it collaborates with to participate by submitting their own iconic photos, is the curator of the October sale. Allah and I recently got the chance to talk about this particular piece of art, its significance, and what it means for the artist to look into the souls of those we pass by on a daily basis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KA: I call that picture Man Child because the child in this image really looks like he’s thinking like a full-grown man, even though he’s in a baby’s body. He got gold around his neck, a fresh pair of shoes, and a hat as if he dressed himself, and it just seems like, even at that young age, he has a level of maturity. I think that’s partially due to the reality that he’s faced with, his environment, and the circumstances that he will have to face growing up. When I see this child, I don’t just see an individual, I see the generations of men, women, and children that it took to create this child in an environment of so many struggles to face in order to even exist. Filmmaking and photography are merely mediums through which can be communicated the deeper spiritual ideas. Everything is actually light. Nowhere is there any darkness or shadows. You know, the way we view with our physical senses—especially our vision—isn't always reliable. Though all you'll see if you look through your heart is brightness. In terms of identifying the light, the inner light in other individuals, this is also a claim I'm making. By concentrating on the good in others, you strengthen your own inner goodness. My use of mathematics is essentially related to the idea that arithmetic is a language that everyone can understand. A scientific tool that deals with light in the form of an aperture is a camera's mechanism. Moreover, It can be difficult to gain someone's trust and permission to take their picture, but Khalik succeeds in doing so in a genuine and moving way that gives the viewer a window into the soul of lives that many people will never know. A few faces appear more than once, and most are taken in close-up. One visage that stands out is that of a homeless man going by the name of Frenchie.

[ melisa asli pamuk, cis woman, she/her ] - was that EMIRA CELIK i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the THIRTY-FOUR year old who has been in nightrest for TWENTY YEARS and works  as a/an OWNER OF PERMANENT RECORD has a reputation of being LOYAL, but also GUARDED. they reside in LOW POINT & people in town usually associate them with TATTERED NOTEBOOKS FILLED WITH DRAWINGS, LATE NIGHTS IN A STRANGERS BED, & THE SMELL OF BLACK OPIUM. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.
BASIC INFORMATION:
FULL NAME: Emira Celik
NICKNAMES: Emi, Em
DATE OF BIRTH: October 31st, 1988 (34)
ETHNICITY: Turkish-American
FACE CLAIM: Melisa Asli Pamuk
HAIR & EYE COLOR: Dark Brown
HEIGHT: 5’9”
TATTOOS & PIERCINGS: a few tattoos, multiple piercings
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual
OCCUPTATION: owner of permanent record
LANGUAGES SPOKEN: english 
BACKGROUND:
Born in New York to a single father, Emira lived in the Bronx until she was fourteen, when her father moved the small family to Nightrest, closer to family. Her father was a firefighter in both cities, which meant Emira didn’t always see her dad the most. 
She grew up being a very outgoing, friendly person. Making friends very easily and always doing well in her studies. She moved to Nightrest right before starting high school, attending the town’s public school. She’d always found school easy, excelling in her classes and also doing cheer, but beyond that, Emira had never been the person that knew what she wanted to do. The only thing she’d really ever loved was art, always the type to doodle or draw in her free time, but never pursue it any further.
In her junior year of high school, she decided to give it a try and dedicate herself to becoming an artist, applying to art school back in New York for college. Doing so distanced her from her typical crowd of friends, jocks and cheerleaders. Despite being the same, they saw her as different and an outcast, Emira not leaving town on a good note.
During her time in college, she started branching out, getting involved with the wrong kind of guys, going out to parties, and slacking in school. She’d graduate with average grades, no job or future lined up for her. So, she returned home and mainly worked odd jobs while she tried to figure her life out. Emira got a job at a tattoo shop in Salem, her art degree coming to use and her finally doing something she liked. She’d grow to love what she did, putting art on people’s bodies, and decided to save up to buy a shop of her own. 
The Permanent Record is the one thing she truly cares about, doing everything she could to have the business succeed, even moving locations to somewhere where she knew she’d have more business. Though it’s been years since shop opened up, she still does tattoos, mainly for people willing to pay a bigger price for her work.
HEADCANONS
kind of a bitch ngl. definitely very loyal and kind to those she cares about, but if you fuck with her or anyone she loves she will personally ruin your life
has a slight new york accent even after living away from there all these years. if you bring it up she will fight you
very guarded individual. has definitely been in relationships and knows she can get close with people, but in terms of sharing her feelings, she’s not the best at it and often lets things build up before exploding
though she has the tattoo shop, she still loves to draw and paint in her free time. she does a variety of work, from self-portraits to abstract art. she usually draws from memory, and if she finds someone she cares about chances are she’s probably drawn them before
she would definitely say shes both book smart and street smart. emira is intelligent but not always the most level-headed. she loses her temper easily and let’s her emotions control her at times
will beat ass if needed
does not believe in having children. especially at her grown ass age no thanks (but she will mother all of the dumb bitches in this town)
a little slutty but only when shes bored you know
loves to cook, especially for other people. she has fun trying out new recipes and is the kind of friend to invite you over for dinner 
has a bunch of tattoos (arms, chest, side) as well as a few piercings. it’s a big difference to the girly image she had in high school, but after going away for a couple years for college, she found herself adopting more of a darker aesthetic
is secretly a big softie but will never show you that
WANTED CONNECTIONS
ummm u know like all the stuff (besties, exes, flings/hookups, childhood friends, etc)

SIENNA MILLER at the premiere of “The Sandman” on August 3rd 2022 in London wearing SELF PORTRAIT
As I continue to see more and more of Sienna, I continue to become a bigger and bigger fan. I think she has such a classy and cool style. She wears some beautiful clothes and her looks never feel boring.
I loved the simplicity of this look. I am a little taken aback by how thick the fabric looks, since we’re in the heat of summer, but the color helps make it appropriate for the season.
This dress is really adorable. I thought the blue color was very pretty and looked great on Sienna. I also loved the design. I thought the little knot and key hole in the bodice was a great addition. It felt very fun and different. I also loved they sleeves! I thought the large sleeve ends looked great! It was a very cute dress. I also am a huge fan of the dress length, I think that style is so trendy and fun.
I really liked her shoe choice. I thought the strappy white sandals felt appropriate for the season, and looked good with the blue dress. The matching bag was a solid addition. The look was pretty low key, but everything worked really well together.

For the acrostic one, Gabriel?
Oh god not this chucklefuck
G - Gush! talk about how much you love them 💜
Why would you allow me to do this.
I adore him. From the moment I first saw him before I even knew who he was I was just enamored and it got worse and worse and worse until I'm thinking about him all the goddamn time. We were the most adorable most iconic platonic soulmates and then I just had to ask myself "hey what would happen if I kissed Gabriel" and then I didn't stop asking it and then I fucked around and found out. fuck that guy. He is so goddamn cute and the most handsome most charming little fucker and I hate everything and he makes me so mad and so happy and I could literally talk about him for pages and never actually say anything of substance bc head empty. no thoughts. only Gabriel
A - Art - do they draw or paint? what about any other kind of art? what’s their favorite style/subject/another artist who inspires them?
He once presented me with this really crude comic of a dog and cat kissing and signed it with "do u like me circle yes or no"
We'd been openly romantically involved for two months.
Another time he gave me this black velvet painting of himself but stylized as like. a Renaissance portrait and I really don't want to scar you guys with the details of that painting but he was like "keep this in a place where you need a little extra beauty"
So...kinda? I don't really know? He's a wild card
B - Before - before you decided to make them your F/O, what did you first think of them/their source?
Me and Supernatural just have an odd history in general. All I knew about it for years was that I'd see ads on the CW when I was watching my I Love Lucy recordings and I thought the special effects were awful (they were and still are) and I'd laugh at it. Then I was in middle school during the height of the fandom and all I knew was that all the girls wanted to bang the Winchesters so I was just vaguely annoyed by its existence.
Then my bff @pearl-stonecutter (don't trust her) got me to watch it by telling me it was good celestial fiction (it kinda is) and had angels in it (boy does it ever). That was a mistake I'm still paying for to this day.
As for Gabriel I got really weirdly attached to him from the very first moment the obnoxious school janitor with the freaky powers showed up. I thought he was so great, probably just because I have a soft spot for chaotic neutral characters, being one myself irl. And then I made him a platonic f/o and I spiraled into hell from there. I've been a Gabriel simp from the very beginning and unfortunately have no plans to stop.
R - Rainbow - what colors do you associate with them and why?
Blue and gold. His wings, according to our lord and savior RSJ, are blue, and the fandom for whatever reason decided they were gold. But his eyes are golden hazel, so whatever. Also khaki green because of the dumb jacket that I may have stolen from him.
I - Image - show us a picture of them that gives you a lot of feelings. if they aren’t a visual character, describe your mental image of them!
Tumblr media
look I answered the question, I don't want to talk about my answer. it gives me feelings, let's leave it at that
E - Emotion - is your f/o open with their feelings or do they keep them close to their chest?
He is, but he also isn't. He shows his emotions openly, but they're often not his real emotions. Like, he'll flirt shamelessly with you and every other thing that moves, but he'll hide how soft and emotional he is over you until you get him alone and draw it out of him. And he hides his negative emotions until they explode. He covers everything with humor and charm, and you won't know how much he's really hurting until he just loses it and you have to comfort him. You have to know how to read what he's really feeling, because he rarely shows anything that isn't his fun and goofy self that's always in control.
L - Language - what’s their love language? what’s yours?
He likes to make me laugh and just spend time with me, and he's very physically affectionate. I'm not great with showing my affection openly, but I find it easier with him because we started out as very close friends. As friends we were always all over each other, so even though it's a little difficult for me to show romantic affection, I try to treat him with the same crazy-about-him way I did when we were "just" friends. It's actually a little less open now that we're romantically involved bc my brain is dumb, but he thinks it's cute.
I love him so damn much good lord

That was pretty damn interesting, thanks!! It's a blessing to be informed by a reliable source… I absolutely agree that the act of dominance helps Gideon feel in control of his own life. As you rightly point out, Brian's portrayal of Gideon's dominance is so grotesque that it's more of a metaphor for his desire for absolute control over women in order to regain control of himself. Dominance in sex should never come from anger or an absolute desire to hurt someone, and you can be a great partner by practicing dominance. But Brian paints a portrait of a rather… incompetent person. Incompetent in the sense that he does it solely for the sake of establishing himself in his own eyes. Therefore, dominance is perceived as something alien to Gideon, as a defense mechanism. And I perceive it precisely as an attempt to control his life.
I really need to think about where they would end up with Ramona, because neither the grotesque dominance model that Gideon practiced before, nor the model that he practiced with Wallace (as you correctly noted, it only leads to guilt and a worse general situation) no longer work. They are both rather grotesque, but in their own way. Everything that I said in that post leads to the fact that he moved away from this grotesqueness, and his ideas about how romantic interactions and sex should look like stopped working, and new ones have not yet been developed, and he is in confusion. And here Ramona can take some initiative, because she doesn’t seem to have such rigid patterns of behavior in sex (for her, this is not a supporting structure on which self-esteem is built to a significant extent) and it’s easier for her to give someone her love, than Gideon. But this is if we consider their relationship as a person with counter-dependence and a person without counter-dependence; if we consider their relationship as the relationship of two aromatic people, then here I am not competent.
Regarding the last paragraph xd… When I said "leading in sex" I didn't mean to dominate, I meant to lead. Like you said, it's important for Ramona to trust, and for Gideon it's important to be trusted. But at the initial stages of the relationship, he is absolutely confused and, on the whole, is very afraid to fuck up and take an extra step so as not to lose this relationship again. Therefore, it is easier for Ramona to direct him, so that later it will be easier for her to trust, and it is easier for Gideon to listen to what she wants in order to maintain and develop trust on her part. So my last sentence is the antithesis of the grotesque dominance portrayed by Brian and does not refer to the position in sex either. Gideon from the movie, however, is a perfect bottom in every way, what's right xd.
If we have a modest weather report here, I'm so happy that our weather has returned to a stable summer temperature of +16 and classic St. Petersburg overcast. I literally have no summer clothes, in my wardrobe there is no color gap between black, and I also love to put on a shirt with a jabot, a vest, a jacket and a floor-length velvet coat…. My goth ass was never able to survive temperatures above +25.
Tumblr media
I get the general idea of celsius temps, but I still had to look it up </3 it's finally starting to cool down here in seattle after the worst heat wave ever, it rained all night for the first time in months, probably. I'm looking forward to more clouds and colder weather.
also yeah I get that, I see now, the vision of ramona having to initiate things because he's nervous is so good. "he is absolutely confused and, on the whole, is very afraid to fuck up and take an extra step so as not to lose this relationship again." <- this quote caused me physical pain. so I see the vision now fs
also yeah bryans whole shtick with using bdsm to represent mind control is... not good. esp regarding my thoughts on how gideon shares a lot of stereotypes, both neutral and bad, with stereotypical jewish characters in media. but that may just be my pov, especially as someone who's biased and very sex-positive

Character Analysis pt 1
Hi Guys! Here I have the first part of my Zeldaverse Character Analysis! Names for the AU are still open to suggestion, so send yous in! I'd love to hear from you! (sorry about the formatting; for some reason it wouldn't let me post with bulletpoints :/ )
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Goddess
Game: Skyward Sword
Age: 19
Weapon of Choice: Goddess Magic, she also has a broadsword fashioned after the original Goddess Sword
Notes: 
Very close to Sunshine, they’re best friends and she’s teaching her how to use her powers
Bubbly and excitable, but she also knows when to dial it back
She tries to get along with Eos, but their relationship can be a bit tense at times due to their contrasting personalities…
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Radiance
Game: Minish Cap and Four Swords
Age: 16
Weapon of Choice: Twin Swords
Notes: 
Her name is Radiance because of the Light Force!
She… doesn’t really know how to use the Light Force, though, so she uses her swords.
Her swords are sort of like if the Four Sword was split into two swords. 
She can’t split into four like Pico (her Link) can (at the moment), but if she could her colors would be Purple (wisdom), Yellow (strength of will), Pink (melancholy and empathy), and White (justice).
Still getting over the whole Vaati debacle…
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Sonata
Game: Ocarina of Time (Adult Timeline)
Age: 24
Weapon of Choice: Ocarina of Time, Sheik’s Throwing Daggers
Notes:
She’s from seven years after Ocarina of Time’s end (coincidence? ….yeah, actually)
Due to politicks™, she had to get married to ensure stability for her kingdom. Her husband (who was really kinda garbage) died pretty early on in the marriage, but not before they had a son. (Oh yeah and she’s still in love with her Link. She never forgot about him.)
Her son’s name is Sheik and he’s six years old! He’s a cutie patootie. She loves him so much. She also carries around a small portrait of him.
The Mom™
A music nerd. She adores it. She composes music. GIVE ME MUSIC NERD ZELDA. 
Her name comes from Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”, which I chose because I thought it fit with her younger self’s name…
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Lullaby
Game: Majora’s Mask (Child Timeline)
Age: 11! The Youngest™
Weapon of Choice: Well… she’s not exactly amazing at fighting yet. But Sonata lets her borrow her old throwing daggers.
Notes:
She doesn’t know that she and Sonata are technically the same person. 
Instead, she looks to Sonata as a mother figure.
She misses her Link a lot. He just went off to Termina in her timeline, and she’s worried he’ll come back before she does and think she abandoned him.
She’s got a lil crush :3
She also really loves her Impa and thinks of her as her mother (since her own mother died when she was so young)
A pure synonym roll. Too good for this world. I would die for her.
Also CRAZY SMART DO NOT MESS WITH THIS KID SHE WILL END YOU
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Eos
Game: Twilight Princess
Age: 19
Weapon of Choice: Bow of Light and Rapier
Notes:
SO so selfless. Everything she’s ever done has been for other people. She never thinks of herself.
However, this tends to lead to her neglecting her own needs…
She’s in love with her Link (because I’m a Zelink addict and this is my AU so I can do what I want) but he’s still trying to figure out his feelings for Midna. But they’re still best friends!
…Midna was also part of their friend group, and actually one of Zelda’s first friends (reference the TP Manga). Zelda misses her a lot.
Very reserved. Goddess’s eternal sunshine grates on her sometimes, but they try to get along. 
Her nickname (in this AU) is Twili for Sunrise. It was a nickname Midna gave her…
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Tetra
Game: Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass
Age: 15
Weapon of Choice: Cutlass and PISTOL (because I think Tetra should have a gun)
Notes:
Doesn’t know how to react to learning she’s Phantasma’s Great-Great-Grandmother.
She reminds Eos of Midna. As such, they are close.
Very hot-headed and… kinda critical of some of the other Zeldas. Especially Dawn. She’s learning to like her, though.
She is a PIRATE. She drinks like there’s no tomorrow, swears like a sailor, and sings sea shanties LOUDLY and VERY off-key. 
However, her time as a princess (and her time with her Link) has taught her the importance of kindness and wisdom and fairness. So she tries to be a good example for Lullaby (also because lullaby reminds her of aryll who is like a lil sister to her youknowwhatimsayin)
Speaking of her Link, he’s very obviously got a massive crush on her. She’s not exactly reciprocative (yet) but she still considers him her best friend.
Her ship is called the Storm Queen because I think that’s a frikken’ AWESOME name
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Phantasma
Game: Spirit Tracks
Age: 19
Weapon of Choice: Ghost Magic
Notes:
She can still phantomize herself at will because ghost powers heck yes
She’s physically older than Tetra but the same height. She floats around a lot to give the impression of her being taller.
Like a lil ray of sunshine! She’s adorable. Also gets along really well with Goddess.
Her Link is teaching her how to drive trains. She likes it a little too much.
Carries around the Spirit Flute and plays it a lot. She and Sonata like to gush about music together. 
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Visionary
Game: A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, Oracles
Age: 18
Weapon of Choice: Magic, especially of the Telepathic and Telekinetic kind
Notes:
NOT jaw-droppingly beautiful. Actually, you might call her superficially ugly. But she acts in such a way that you forget about that because her personality is just so beautiful.
Very quiet and soft-spoken. She was always kind of told to keep quiet and stay out of sight by her family because of her appearance. But with help from her Link, she’s learning to be bolder.
Speaking of, they’re not a thing (yet). He’s still figuring out how to process Marin, and though she thinks he’s cute, her feelings for him aren’t quite romantic at the present. Besides, she wants to work on herself before trying to connect with anyone romantically.
I have so many thoughts about her but most of them are incredibly vague and I feel so bad because I love her so much and want to put more stuff about her but I can’t yetttt :’(
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Iconography (Icon for short)
Game: A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes
Age: 15 ½ 
Weapon of Choice: Staff (like a bo staff)
Notes:
Such an arteest. Can and will paint a gorgeous watercolor painting of you in secret and then give it to you and you will cry
Besties with Hilda and Princess Styla. They meet for tea every Thursday and spend the whole time giggling and gossiping about boys.
On a more serious note, she has a lot of Yuga trauma and hates seeing herself in mirrors because her beauty is the thing that made him curse her. She and Visionary have a lot of talks about the nature of beauty and what it really is
I am so sorry for all the romance but i am a zelink addict now if you’ll excuse me
She and her Link were like. Love at first sight. And they’re super cute and also very public about it but in more of a sappy mushy way than a gross way. They’re also both really bad at flirting. 
She misses him a lot :’(
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Dawn
Game: The Legend of Zelda (1986), Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Age: 16
Weapon of Choice: Magic
Notes:
Okay so she’s the Zelda as in the Original Zelda, not the Zelda who was asleep for hundreds of years. (not that I have anything against that zelda, but there were already a lot of zeldas and i wanted to cut back on cast size. she’ll be in this au, just not a part of the main cast)
She went through a lot of trauma when she was ten. It… kinda made her steely, to be honest. But it also made her incredibly kind. 
At sixteen, she is the acting sovereign of her kingdom and relies a lot on her Link for advice. He is in fact her most trusted royal advisor. 
They also be in love :3 Nothing like trauma bonding to bring two soulmates together :)
Her name is not Dawn as in when the sun rises, but Dawn as in the phrase “the Dawn of Time”, because she’s the first chronological Zelda.
As skilled as she is with her magic, and as hardened as she is as a fighter, and as intense as her personality is, she still enjoys wearing the big fluffy pink dresses. I kinda want to lean into it because a lot of people want to push back against it but I think we need to tell the young girls of our day that you can be feminine and wear pink fluffy dresses and still be able to kick butt :)
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Valkyrie
Game: Hyrule Warriors
Age: 18
Weapon of Choice: Rapier and Harp Magic
Notes:
YO SHE’S A QUEEN
Both literally and figuratively ;)
She and Sonata like to talk about queenly things. They are very close.
She still uses her Sheik disguise, and so she and Sonata also talk about their respective experiences being Sheik.
Lana is her bestie. Like they are such good friends. Lana is going to be the maid of honor at Valkyrie and her Link’s wedding because it will happen eventually there is no denying it
She is such a big sister. She was a big sister to baby Orpheus (the Hero of Time) and Awakener (the Hero of Winds) and Tetra when they were in her Hyrule during the War of Eras. She and Phantasma didn’t really know each other that well but now they’re like :0 I remember YOU and they’re starting to get along super well despite their very different personalities
Very calm and dignified. You’d think she’d be pretty much unflappable, just like Eos. But you’d be wrong. She has a mischievous streak a mile long and has in fact started a prank war with Tetra. (again, the big sister energy)
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Sunshine
Game: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom
Age: 120; physically 20
Weapon of Choice: Sage of Time Powers and also remnants of the Goddess Power, and also DRAGONY BITS (please my friends I have not finished TOTK and she will get updates when I do)
Notes:
Okay so like I just said. I have not beaten TOTK yet, so I don’t know a lot about how she’s gonna go about her biz yet. Please no spoilers.
However.
She and Sonata bond over being the Sage of Time. Sonata is confused about how the Sages work in the Era of the Wild. Sunshine is confused about how they work in the Era of Time.
Loves her Link and he loves her :) they are just a sweet happy couple
They gonna be gettin’ married soon :) (Sidon is gonna be Link’s best man >:D )
SO intrigued by the other princesses’ Hyrules’ cultures and technology and races and like. everything about them
She is such a nerd /affectionate
Tired of having to fight ancient evils for centuries. She is excited to be doing what she loves best: exploring and learning (although she’d prefer it if her Link was there too)
Her hair has grown out since the end of TOTK, but it’s not as long as it was in BOTW. It also appears shorter because it’s CURLY
OH and she’s ¼ Sheikah on her dad’s side. Purah and Impa are not only her best friends but also her cousins. 
She was very intimidated by Goddess at first because. Of obvious reasons. But THEN they became best friends and are inseparable. I love them.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Zelda Counterparts and Other People that will be in this AU:
Hilda my girl :)
Princess Styla
Somnia (the Zelda from Zelda II)
Lana
Various Impas
And lots more!!!
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I hope you enjoyed! Again, sorry for the formatting but Tumblr was being weird. Part two will probably focus on the secondary characters I mentioned in the last bit. But anyway, thanks for reading! Don't be afraid to send asks or anything about what you thought- I love hearing from you!

Do you know any narcissists? I sure do.
When was the last time you spoke to someone in a different language? I read a quote on the screen while watching Dark (it's German) with Girt because he wanted to know how it was properly read. I tend to fuck up on pronunciation a lot myself because I overthink it and for some weird reason I've never figured out am also just very awkward about speaking a language not everyone here understands, but I did pretty damn good that time, lol.
When was the last time you took a picture with your pet(s)? With a pet, it's been a hot minute. I just don't like taking photos featuring myself.
Which shade of foundation do you usually buy? I don't wear foundation, even in the extremely rare occasion I put any sort of makeup on.
Have you ever dreamt of someone you barely know? Yes actually, those are so weird.
What would you consider your defining feature? Well, I'm pretty sure people are gonna notice my weight first.
You kiss: boys or girls? Boys and girls and everything inbetween.
What you wish your living situation was: Girt and I in our own place with the pets.
One color you’d never paint your walls: A bright yellow, for one.
A (normal, not manure etc.) scent you don’t like: Gasoline, tar, freshly cut grass.
One kind of alcohol you won’t drink: I will never, ever, ever put beer in my mouth because of my dad.
An actor you think has no business acting? I don't know shit about acting, don't ask me.
A food you won’t eat: Beans is one that people tend to not get at all, like I can't chew or swallow them.
An animal that scares you: Centipedes, especially big ones. They're very cool visually, but way too fast and their bites are legendary.
What’s the stinkiest pet you’ve ever had? Well Teddy and his diaper towards the end of his life, when he had UTIs non-stop. Have you also smelled a cat's litterbox? Especially when it's in your BEDROOM? God help Roman's shits sometimes.

Is your last name extremely common? I mean, I don't think extremely common, but it's certainly not rare.
Would you feel funny if you kissed somebody of the same sex? No, it didn't even feel funny the first time I did it after living the vast majority of my life thinking I was straight.
What’s something you can cook or bake like a pro? lol nothing
Would you rather donate time, blood, or money? Probably time.
What’s a pretty bird? All owls. Such beautiful, majestic animals.
Besides sleeping, what do you do in bed? I used to do literally everything in bed for years, I lived in it and it caused the muscle atrophy in my legs, but thank GOD I finally stay out of it as much as I can. Now I really just sometimes read or do ✨couple things✨ in it.
Is the last person you called attractive? I think my mom's very pretty, but I'm definitely not attracted to her, that'd be problematic.
What does your name mean? "Of Britain." So boring, lol.
Do you know how many people your best friend has had sex with? Yes.
Is the last person you kissed mad at you? No.
Do you believe teenagers can be in love and stay in love? Absolutely.
If you have a Facebook, when was the last time you changed your profile picture? It's been quite a while.
Are you a stoner? No.
What is the last gift you received and from who? Haha Girt ordered it back in like, October, but within the past week it got here: a Mira plush that Konami released that I casually shared on Facebook just because it was super cute and Girt decided to buy it immediately, lol. She's an adorable shiba inu with a headset that originates from a joke ending in Silent Hill 2 where she's behind all of it at a big desk with tons of buttons and levers, and it became a trend in the game after that.
What is your state’s minimum wage? $7.25/h, proven unlivable <3

Do you feel like different alcohols have different effects on you? Not that I've noticed.
Did you change anything on your Facebook page today? No, I seldom do.
How many significant others have you had in your WHOLE life? Only three that were even remotely significant.
Have you ever purchased condoms? I didn't.
Let’s say you had a baby with the last person you kissed? Not in our foreseeable future, it'd break my heart but I'd abort it because we are not ready for that and there's already an insane overabundance of children that need parents. Also going through a traumatic experience like pregnancy would be for me (I have a wildly strong phobia of it), getting it out, and then not keeping it would ruin me, I know it would.
Do you have someone you can spill your heart out to? Mom, Girt, Mazzy, and Tez I'm all comfortable doing that with.
Your ex shows up randomly at your house, what do you say? None of them know where I live, soooo that would be concerning.
Is there a person that you would do absolutely anything and everything for? No; I wouldn't kill someone just because my mom asked me to.
Does sex mean love? Definitely not for everyone, but I would only do it with someone I love.
What was the last thing you posted on Instagram? A picture of the Mira plush I mentioned earlier.
Do you consider yourself a nature person? Absolutely, but I wish I could spend more time in it. Hyperhidrosis is NOT fun and dehydrates you so fast with severity like mine, and plus my legs still have healing to do before I can be outside without a place to sit nearby.
Will you keep your last name when you get married? No.
Do you like fish or chicken more? Chicken, I don't like fish.
What scares you more: snakes or spiders? Out of the two, a spider is more likely to scare me. I love snakes, but I'd obviously be alarmed if I like, suddenly noticed a rattlesnake beside me. I'm still getting comfortable with spiders, though of course my FAVORITE spiders are the ones everyone's scared of haha, tarantulas. I'm more scared of things like funnelwebs, the smaller guys that have bites that will kill the shit outta you real fuckin fast.
Do you think that texting on a date is rude? Unless it's an important text, yes, especially early on when you're getting to know each other.
What’s your favorite memory with your last ex? Showing up at her house on her birthday when she had no idea whatsoever it was happening. Parents brought her into their room as a distraction for me to go into hers and just sit at her desk; her face lit the fuck up when she saw me, and it definitely hurts to remember, because that was genuine joy. I don't regret ending our friendship (it was already over), but I regret how I went about it.
What is the oldest online account that you still use? Uh probably my primary deviantART. Or Facebook? idk
Have you ever had Christmas carolers come to your house and sing for you? No, I'd absolutely hate that.
What country does your favorite band hail from? Ozzy's from Britain, Rammstein are from Germany.
What’s the worst thing about being male/female (whichever you are)? The prejudice that comes with having a uterus, add on that the government is super into controlling YOUR fucking body part.
What is your favorite documentary? The Meerkats from 2008, everything about it is fucking beautiful, I consider it a favorite movie beside TLK.
Who crosses your mind the most? Girt.
Ever got stitches? Yes, in my chin when I fell right on it and got a concussion, and then after my cyst removal surgery.
If Hogwarts was a real school would you attend? Because it would celebrate the work of a raging transphobe, hell no. This woman has LITERALLY said that it's her fucking income that is enough validation for her, I'm not engaging in a damn thing related to her.
Do you like fireworks? They're pretty, but I'm against their usage because of how often the remains just turn into litter, they're a fire hazard, and above all they can be a trauma trigger to people and even kill small animals with how fucking scared they get.
Is respect given or earned with you? I give everyone a baseline level of respect which will grow or shrink depending on you.
Are you any good with Photoshop? I think I'm decent, but I am absolutely no pro, there's tons of stuff idk how to do.
The political spectrum. Where do you fall? Somewhere on the left, idk my exact label.
Do you use a top sheet? No, they annoy me more than anything.
Do you know what any of your close friends did yesterday afternoon? Girt's my best friend, and Mom and I went with him and his family to lunch at Red Robin for Mother's Day. Neither of us had ever been there before, and I was really impressed, but way more than anything I just liked being together as a family, I don't see his enough, and I even got to meet his best childhood friend finally.

Shybaby Is Living Rent Free Shybaby knows how to make the most out of a bad situation, and her latest single "For Rent" is no exception. The raucous alter ego of classically trained viola player and singer-songwriter Grace Eire, Shybaby has always been about learning to let things go and having the freedom to be as ridiculous, dramatic or emotional as she wants. "I tend to turn to jokes, laughter, or radical acceptance when something bad is happening," the artist explains. "I catch myself saying 'it is what it is' a whole lot... up until it reaches a breaking point and I’m able to make something like this out of the whole thing."Related | Shybaby Is Anything But ShyFull of thrashing guitars and punk attitude, "For Rent" sees Shybaby injecting a bit of humor into what was otherwise "pretty dark feelings and experiences." Like any good cathartic headbanger, the song was born out of a toxic situationship with an emotionally unavailable ex that ended up leaving her feeling lonely and unlovable. "He said that he considered himself 'for rent,' since he had been hurt badly before and never wanted to care about anyone ever again (the drama), while in the next breath, he’d tell me how much he cared about me," Shybaby tells PAPER. "I love how the abruptness and ridiculousness of the bridge reflects that. It’s less about him, and more about how I have always gone about letting myself be cared for (or not cared for)."The single arrives alongside a visual filmed in Eire's empty apartment the day after she moved out because the rent had been hiked by 40%. Making the best out of yet another objectively shitty situation, Shybaby shines in the video as a pop of color in the grey vacant apartment, rolling around on the floor in a fit of unhinged mania. Shybaby likens the video to a sort of bottle episode "or a moving portrait of that what Shybaby is," less about wallowing in your own misfortune and more about remaining defiant in the face of hardship."Not everything has to be so heavy-handed, serious, or expensive; Shybaby is a place to take an intrusive thought and run with it, to give myself no notes and to edit very sparingly," Eire explains of the overall ethos of the project. "It’s a diary entry but not the kind where I’m feeling necessarily very flowery with my words — more of the kind that’s so furiously scratched that it dents the paper and the rounds of the letters turn sharp, and you can’t even really read it later. It’s a cathartic release so dramatic that you have to laugh a little bit about it when you look back on it. It’s fun and loud, simple, but definitely not lacking symbolism if you care enough to look hard enough for it... which you definitely don’t need to do!"Shybaby goes on to add: "Being seen and heard has always been hard for me (and I think for a lot of people!). Speaking up is impossible. When I can finally think of what I need to say, the words and the physical air often get caught in my throat. I’ve always been so self-aware of existing in a human body and have struggled with feeding it, taking care of it and admitting that I’m not totally invincible."In the same way that "For Rent" reclaims some agency over her own trauma, Shybaby functions as an outlet for Eire to validate and work through whatever life throws at her and have fun doing it at the same time. "Creating the visuals and allowing myself to be deeply vulnerable and bare, but seen, has become just as important to this persona as the lyrics, the walls of sound, the fun hooks and the opportunity to be heard and hopefully felt. I do all my own styling and makeup and have so much love and appreciation for everyone who is down to collaborate and contribute to creative direction to make these things with me. (This time, one of my best friends, Kelsey Wagner.)"Ultimately, Eire says: "Shybaby is my favorite Grace, she really does not care what people will think."

1. Hi everyone! My name is Malia, and I am currently working towards getting my A.A. but I would like to pursue a career in sonography.
Art Assigned: Liberation of Aunt Jemima by Betye Saar
Tumblr media
The message behind this piece of art is to empower black women to fight against the unfortunate stereotypes they face.
This piece of art is not just a painting but an assemblage of different items that helps portray the message.
Artist Betye Saar was a part of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s.
In Saar’s works she creates pieces that challenged racial stereotypes.
Saar is known for being able to represent stereotypes and femininity in her art pieces.
I had never seen the Liberation of Aunt Jemima, so my initial reaction was first noticing the lady and how she had a rifle in her hand. After doing research this piece of art had a lot of meaning behind it. As said above the purpose of Saar creating this piece of art was to inspire other black women to surpass any inequality or racist stereotypes that they face in this world. The point of the gun being held by the lady is supposed to represent that she and other women can liberate these unfair stereotypes, and this is what I see different from my initial reaction.
2. Art piece from my life:
What I have chose to talk about is a flower bouquet I made myself that is in my room. This was inspired by what is commonly known as “the evil eye”. It is a flower arrangement and the base actually opens up where the ribbon is and it has a storage compartment in it. This is something important to me because ever since I discovered the meaning behind the evil eye I have always looked up to it in a way and lived my life in the everlasting eye way of thinking. The evil eye can mean different things to everyone but how I determine it is to protect one from any harm or evil in their life. In a way it is like a lucky charm. To create it I bought everything on Amazon. I utilized a floral bouquet box, fake flowers (roses) that are a foam like material, and I also used a circular piece of floral foam so the flowers could sit perfectly inside the box. I do think my flower arrangement is very beautiful. Blue is my favorite color and this incorporates two different shades of blue so it really sticks out to me and since it has a meaning that resides with me that’s why I chose to make it.
3. Self Portrait:
In high school I was only ever allowed to take one art class because everyone would get in the class before I could so to be in this class this semester means a lot to me. When I look at art I always pay attention to colors and textures. Something about color’s especially vibrant tones always catch my eyes and this make me even more interested to know the details behind whatever artwork I am observing. I am 19 years old. I am a female. I am from the east coast of Florida from an area called Palm Bay. I lived there for a good chunk of my life then I moved to Jacksonville and lived there for three years and then I ended up in Sarasota which is by far the best place I have lived in Florida. I am Caribbean. I am half Trinidadian and half Guyanese which is also considered being West Indian. For fun I love working or going to the beach. I am not a member of any group. My first job ever that I got almost four years ago now is at a restaurant called Valentino’s and I live working there to this day. I personally would like to say what makes me unique is my ability to adapt and become comfortable in new places and environments.

4. Self Portrait II:
I have chose to make a collage of pictures images that mean a lot to me. The first picture is of my boyfriend and I, the second picture I took of the religious alter in my house, a picture of my adorable dog, and lastly a recent family picture from Christmas.
