I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT MICHAEL AND HIS MOTHER NOW PLEASE
How did she react when she found out her sister had her baby boy back at the ranch?
How much did they cry when they finally saw each other again?
Did Mike do the thing where the one person falls on their knees and hugs the other person with their face against their stomach?
How awkward was that for the other three?
I think initially mike was hesitant to let aunt kate tell his mom that he was back home, because he feared that maybe his father might still be there, and thats the last person he'd ever wanna see. But I think he and lucille divorced shortly after mike left, because that was the final nail in the coffin for the already extremely strained marriage. She definitely became very very very deeply depressed when mike left, she found it hard to work or to even get out of bed some days, all she did was cry and Allen couldn't stand it. I don't think he cared about his only son being gone, they already didn't have a good relationship. Obviously. So to make it short, no, he wasn't there anymore.
I'm gonna derail this ask a little cuz I wanna talk about them more specifically 💀
I feel like whenever I talk about mike and his mom, I make it sound like they had a great relationship! They,,, didnt really. It wasn't a bad relationship! It was just ,,,kinda unhealthy and probably had some kind of an effect on him by the time he was an adult. As I mentioned before, I feel like mike wasnt exactly,,,the first?? But he was the only chikd she seemed to be able to have, so that left her to have sort of an unhealthy relationship with him and vice versa.
(She probably was also a little unstable mentally because of the past trauma of complications and the strain of her bad marriage) so she doted on him Heavily and was certainly obsessed with him, and I think he liked it as a kid! Every kid would want lots of love from their mom, but I think as he got older it started getting weirder and weirder for him and I think it put a bit of a strain on their relationship. He still loved her deeply and she was the only person he ever loved (aside from Kate and his cousins) but needless to say their relationship was not perfect at all.
But I think it was a little better when they reunited (mainly cuz he no longer lives with her, so there's no way to judge really) but I think their reunion was very much needed for the both of them! I think she got it in her head that he,,,, probably had died. He hadn't contacted her for years and I think she just went through the mourning process as if he had passed away, so to see him again was very very overwhelming on so many levels, and it was very overwhelming for him too. There was definitely lots of crying and just blubbering from the both of them
I'd say it was a little awkward for the others, but more heartwarming than anything. I think Micky especially knew it was what mike needed, because no matter what he or them could ever do for his mental health, he continued to harbor that very very deep guilt and sadness for the way he abandoned his mother. He knew the way she was, he knew it would leave her absolutely broken, and he left anyway. It probably took him forever to finally truly forgive himself.
In the end it was definitely good for the both of them, and I think she tries her best to work and repair their strange relationship snd make it better on the both of them
But we can definitely see how her instability rubbed off a lot onto him with his later relationship with micky. He became pretty obsessed and almost with micky when they still lived together. He had that same fear of losing him or being abandoned by him, but unlike his mom, he never quite showed or ever voiced it. Not until davy and peter showed up but y'all all know about that
My final conclusion, mental illness runs in the fucking family

Everything I know about the royals comes from Tumblr memes and one bonus episode of a totally unrelated podcast but now I'm morbidly curious, so: what's up with William? And the Middletons? Or if that's a longer story than you want to explain, do you have recommendations for where to read about this that is likely to be fairly accurate?
I don't have any facts I just have pure fucking speculation if that's okay. :)
Like I've been saying for a long-ass time the one thing I absolutely LOVED about The Crown was its portrayal of generational trauma. It very skillfully showed how being a shitty husband who cheats on his wife and treats his kids like garbage was passed down from Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark to Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh to King Charles and then to Prince William. Hell, it probably started long before that but holy shit THE CYCLE OF DYSFUNCTION AND ABUSE BE REPEATING ITSELF.
And if you really want to dig into it, well.... I think he and Harry followed a pattern that a LOT of siblings of bitter and messy divorce fall into, one kid sides with the mom, one with the dad. It's been said a LOT that Harry was Diana's favorite son, so it probably started with that. And OF COURSE William is gonna side with Charles because well... he's the heir. They have that shared trauma.
And then there's the way the whole "heir and spare" thing absolutely perverts any relationship they might have had as brothers. Charles managed to have a decent relationship with his siblings, I think, because first of all, Anne was a girl, and then Andrew and Edward were significantly younger than him and Anne, so there wasn't this unnaturally massive imbalance of power between them. One of the reasons I've come to believe the monarchy should be abolished is because of how badly it damages the structure of a family in a way that no one should have to deal with.
I think Diana might have been able to guide William into being a better person if she'd have lived, but idk. It may be wishful thinking. His relationship with her became kind of strained when he was a teenager and she was going on TV to tell the whole fucking world about her sex life. I think Diana did the right thing exposing the family like she did, but I can also understand how a 13 year old boy would be absolutely humiliated by that.
THEN there's the whole way he was a MASSIVE heartthrob as a teenager, and was intensely sexualized for it. Like it will absolutely mess with you when you have girls screaming and throwing themselves at you when you're still trying to figure your own sexuality out. It will also massively inflate your ego and convince you that the whole world loves you and there's nothing you can do wrong.
SOOOOOO
as for his relationship with Kate. She's much harder to pin down because she hasn't spent her entire fucking life in the spotlight, and the Middletons are sill granted a certain degree of privacy that the Windsors aren't. I don't think they're as absolutely fucked up as Diana's family was but I still definitely think her mom was a major driving force behind her staying with William.
I think there actually was some initial mutual attraction and that they may have even actually been in love. Buuuut then he waited ten years to propose to her, during which he cheated and they broke up and got back together. Honestly, I don't know what Kate's damage was with all of that, whether or not she was able to convince herself that William wouldn't be another shitty husband, or if she was willing to put up with his bullshit if it meant she would be queen.
Diana was more or less picked out as a bride for Charles because it was assumed that she would be a meek and beautiful wifey who never caused any problems. I mean, she was 19 and he was 32 for fuck's sake. She very much wanted to be queen. BUT what everyone wasn't counting on was that Diana would *gasp* have some serious emotional needs. She was deeply traumatized by her own parents' incredibly bitter divorce, overwhelmed and deeply lonely in her position as princess, and on top of that, suffering from bulimia and then post-natal depression. She needed love and support and Charles spent the whole marriage balls deep in Camilla.
Kate had a much more stable upbringing and had more than a few months to get to know both William and what her role as a princess would be. Ultimately, the vibe I get from her is that she's willing to be the perfect meek beautiful wifey who puts up with William's bullshit if it means she can be royal, which is exactly what Diana was supposed to be.
And I don't mean that to knock or belittle her. She's good at it. She looks incredibly happy when she's doing that. It's her career. It's an exchange I can actually really understand making, especially when your only other prospects involved working for your parents' party company.
But I could be extremely wrong about all of this Maybe she's absolutely miserable but she feels like she has no other options and worried about losing her kids and is terrified of what happened to Diana. It's hard to know, and I wish The Crown would have at least committed to *something* rather than just brushing all of this off.

Do youn think Esther loved all of her children equally and how her relation with Elijah was?
Tumblr media
I think Esther is a lot more of a complex character than people want her to be. It's easier if she can just be painted as an awful mother. But it is clear Esther did love her kids, all of them. Just differently. I don't think you can truly measure love in quantity, but she definitely had favorites and least favorites.
Esther loved Freya so much that losing Freya fundamentally changed who she was. She wanted to be a mother so badly that she was willing to do anything to make it happen. People often blame her more for trading Freya for the ability to have children, but don't blame Dahlia for making her own sister trade away her first child. Esther was young when she made that deal and didn't fully know what it meant. She also probably naively believed her sister wouldn't steal her child. But she loved Freya dearly.
Esther also loved Finn a great deal however their relationship grew twisted and toxic because of the loss they both shared. She essentially trauma bonded with her four year old child. Finn's trauma is rarely discussed but it is clear that his mother became his safety after losing Freya. He would do anything for her and Esther exploited this at times and even used him for emotional support. She did love Finn, but the trauma colored that love.
Elijah is her least favorite child. She basically admits it when she tells Klaus that he brought joy to their lives and made them a family again after losing Freya. She was heavily pregnant with Elijah when she lost Freya meaning Elijah's birth and multiple years of life did not bring their family joy or make them feel like a family. Although it's important to remember that while pregnant, she lost her child and moved across the ocean to a new land where she was alone with a volatile husband as this was also the period where Mikael starts becoming a bad/potentially abusive husband. I can't imagine she didn't experience some level of post-partum depression after having him. To top it off, Elijah favors Dahlia more than either of his parents. He likely reminded her of her sister and everything she had lost.
She views Elijah as more of a second parent. She expects him to always behave and keep his siblings in line. When the others step out of line, she has more sympathy for them. She offers Finn, Kol, Klaus, and Rebekah second chances in witch bodies but tortures Elijah, mocking him for what he is and that he is no longer her "noble son." We never see any exchanges between Elijah and Esther that have any type of warmth. This doesn't mean she didn't love him, but hey have a very strained/neglectful relationship.
Klaus is her favorite child. He was the only child she had with the man she truly loved. Even though Klaus seemed to get the brunt of Mikael's anger, he also gets the most protection from Esther. To the point that Finn is jealous of this attention. Klaus arguably did the absolute most vile deeds that should disgust Esther but she still showed love and compassion to him. He was the problematic child that could do no wrong.
Kol is pretty low on the ranks but still above Elijah simply because he had magic. Esther would have wanted to pass on her magic somewhere even is she wasn't truly practicing. She would have loved it but also feared it. Kol would have also driven her crazy because he was always so independent and often getting in trouble.
Rebekah has a special place in her mother's heart as the only daughter she had after losing Freya. It would have been painful at first as she looked so much like the child Esther lost, but she would have viewed it as a second chance. Rebekah always had a soft spot for Esther and losing her mother devastated her.
Henrik is pretty high at the top simply because he is the youngest. Henrik seemed to have a happy spirit from the few brief moments we see him. The baby of the family is always special. His death sent Esther into such a spiral that she created vampirism.
None of this means I think Esther is an awful mother. There are definitely terrible things she does, but at the end of it, she truly loved her children. Was she the best mother in the word, no. But we have to remember she was a young woman who was also a victim.
Thanks for the ask!

Dove Cameron’s Alchemical album is so fucking bat coded I feel like a conspiracy theorist.
(This went off the rails at one point, so WARNING: vague mentions of sexual assault and being drugged without consent)
First song: Lethal Woman.
Cass, all over, right? The bridge is “she walks like a saint, floats like an angel, sharp like a knife under the table”
c o m e o n
Second song: Still.
“Man on the screen, they only see whatever you want them to see” and “Supernova self-erasing, hourglass is always draining”
Could be either Tim or Bruce, but I lean toward Tim because of “how dare you, dare me to love you, if you jump I will too” because whenever Tim decides he loves someone, he’s the ride or die, ends of the earth type, even if they don’t even know who he is. A) how and why he became Robin in the first place, B) The Cloning Thing, C) an argument could be made for the Captain Boomerang thing (but now that I think of it, I think I’m mostly basing this off fanon oh well ontotgenextone).
Song Three: Breakfast.
I will admit out the gate that this one’s a reach, so I’m just going to leave Selina here.
Song Four: Sand.
For this I’m thinking Tim or Jason, for different reasons.
For Tim;
“I saw the end when we began, you couldn’t love the way I can, I tried to bargain with the stars, for more than half your heart but you have more pieces of me than the dessert has sand, and I have less pieces of you than I could hold in my hand” and “our love’s misaligned, ‘cause you’re on my mind every night, I stretch out the time, and now I know why.”
I’m just making it obvious I read the Red Robin run, aren’t I?
For Jason:
“What's worse, being wanted but not loved, or loved but not wanted? What's worse, hearing what you wanna hear, or hearing what's honest?” And “What hurts, is the one thing that you wanna do, is the one thing that you shouldn’t do”
Pre-death Jason, but like, right after the Garzonas thing.
Song five: White Glove.
Okay hear me out.
This is part one of the Dick Grayson saga; the persona he shows to the public. This is Richie Wayne. This is every honeypot mission he went on too young, every woman he’s had to seduce for information (it’s one hundred percent happened before don’t fight me) every source of sexual trauma (that one I’m ninety percent sure is canon) that keeps him up at night.
And this guy’s been a vigilante for over twenty years, he can absolutely recognize drugs by sight, smell, and how they feel when he’s too late to notice something slipped in his drink. He’s felt nearly every strain of fear toxin and every one of Ivy’s pollens. If anyone knows their drugs it’s pretty boy Richie Wayne and Robin.
Song six: God’s Game
This one I’m definitely taking some lines out of context, but for Jason, “Just a boy with a man's face, playin' God's game” is when he’s taking over Crime Alley, pit-mad and trigger happy. “I prepare with so much care, I was runnin', it was stunnin', I am desperate from delusions, not much of a solution, never knowin' what the truth is, oh, God” is when hid plans start to fall apart, when Bruce slits his throat with a batarang, when eventually the pit-madness eventually starts to wear off and he realizes what all he did to Tim, who was a child at the time, not to mention Robin.
He nearly became what the Joker was to him to the next Robin, and I feel like at some point that would occur to him.
Song seven: Boyfriend.
(…Admittedly, I don’t think this one has any grounding in canon and if it does, feel free to educate me.)
So, obviously I could mention Kate Kane at this point, but I know basically nothing about her, so instead I’m going to talk about Steph.
So Steph has definitely had some shitty experiences with guys, right? Like, her dad to begin with, but also the guy who got her pregnant (at like fourteen? Maybe I’m just sheltered, but I don’t think anything about that relationship was heathy—again, I haven’t read many of the comics, so correct me if I’m wrong), then Tim, which, I love him as a character, but didn’t he date her in the mask for like, months, and I have some vague recollections of some dickish things he said (i know i know i need to read more comics)—whatever. Men are shitty.
I have a scene in my head. Like, Steph’s in college, at a bar with friends or something, maybe it’s an under cover op, idk, and there’s this girl she’s been lowkey watching all night. She doesn’t quite know why, but she just keeps catching her eye, and okay, it’s not like she’s never questioned her sexuality, she knows Cass. There have been Extensive conversations with Babs on the subject.
Anyway, so at some point, there’s obviously some sort of argument between the girl and the guy she came with and the girl’s crying, and Steph just Can’t Handle That.
She goes up to her, comforts her, makes a new friend, listens to the whole story.
And at some point, she has the thought.
“I could be a better boyfriend than him.”
She doesn’t necessarily do anything about it that night, but now that she’s had the thought, it won’t leave her alone.
Yeah. So. Maybe I’ll write that story later.
Song eight (last song): FRAGILE THINGS.
Dick Grayson part two; So your mentor (dad) just died, leaving you an angry murder child, another one hanging on by a thread after losing eighty percent of his support system, a grieving butler (grandfather), and a mantle the size of the Most Dangerous City in America. Any direction you move is going to hurt someone, and one kid is more likely to snap and murder people than the other, and hey, if you have to be Batman anyway, might as well let your brilliant kid brother be Nightwing, right? Except, whoops, you forgot to mention that last part and now Timmy thinks you just replaced him without telling him and fuck you knew you were forgetting something and now there’s a goddamned imposter Bruce and—
“Love is like a house of fragile things, where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques, and now there’s glass all shattered at my feet, what we built together, you left in smithereens.”
Anyway. This got kind of incoherent (or maybe it was from the start?)
I accidentally added a poll at the bottom and can’t figure out how to remove it, so.

AITA for joining my girlfriend’s cult & killing my friends?
I know this sounds bad, but I swear I can explain.
I (18F) go to a high school for gifted students; I was accepted for my talents in the medical field. I come from an abusive home and have been bullied and sexually harassed most of my life so because of that I’m kind of a people-pleaser & have some really bad self-image issues, but my new school was actually pretty nice & I ended up making a lot of friends while I was there. Apart from my friends from my old school who joined with me (except this one girl who bullied me, I still tried to be nice to her though), our class president was genuinely one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met, and we also had a really nice teacher; for once, it felt like I was actually being treated like a human being. In particular, though, later on I met these two guys from my class; one was sick & needed me to take care of him, & the other was assuming his identity so he could focus on his work. No one had ever treated me so nicely before, so I became friends with them, but one of them went missing so I went to look for him and ended up getting kidnapped.
I found my friend, and it turns out he was working on a secret project with this girl from another class; the one who kidnapped me was her sister. They showed me the project, and at the time it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I started hanging around this girl more often, and ended up falling in love with her. It felt like she was the only one who truly understood me and accepted me for who I was…but looking back on it now, she was almost definitely a cult leader, because later on she showed me another video that I’m pretty sure was meant to brainwash me. Our relationship was toxic, too; she abused me physically and verbally, but to be honest I was kinda into it because at least she was paying attention to me.
While I was under her influence, I did a lot of things I’m not proud of; I tried to seduce my friend when he was clearly not into it, and I led the rest of my class into a trap that got our class president killed (I actually pushed her into the trap, I apologized for it though) and everyone else brainwashed as well while they were forced to watch. I didn’t want to do it; I think the video didn’t work quite as well as she wanted it to because the whole time it still felt like I had this little voice in my head telling me to stop, but when I tried to listen to it I just heard my beloved’s voice overpowering it. Everything after that is kind of a blur, but we basically ended up bringing about the apocalypse; all you need to know is that I did a LOT of illegal stuff and a lot more people died. After about a year of this, though, my girlfriend’s crimes came back to bite her and she got herself killed. We all took this pretty badly; a lot of the other cult members killed themselves, and I’m about 90% sure I surgically implanted her uterus inside of me so I could bear her children. It’s all still kind of hazy right now.
After that, the rest of us were rounded up and sent to a rehab facility in the hopes that we could be deprogrammed, and as part of the process our memories were erased. What they didn’t know was that my ex had preserved her consciousness in an artificial intelligence and before we were detained we planned to let her possess our bodies so she could continue her agenda, so she hijacked the rehab program and tried to encourage us to kill each other. I managed to avoid killing anyone for a while, but then a few of us got sick and while I was tending to them I ended up contracting it as well. Whatever disease I got, it caused me to remember everything and go back to being brainwashed. While I was in this state, I ended up strangling my best friend to death (she was infected and her strain of the disease made her more susceptible to suggestion) and later slit my bully’s throat after she walked in on me during the first kill. I covered my tracks the best I could, but the rest of my class was still able to find out what happened. I felt really cornered in the moment, so I kinda lashed out at everyone and blamed them all for everything that had happened to me and I also went on this weird rant about how my ex was the only one who truly loved me and “forgave my existence.” That didn’t really help my case, so I was voted out of the program and executed.
Except not really; it turns out the program was just a really immersive VR simulation & no one actually died (except for our class president, it turns out they also placed an AI modeled after her into the program but she got executed too; long story). The ones who made it to the end were able to defeat my ex’s AI self and rehabilitate the rest of us, so now we’re all living on the island the program was modeled after since we’re all technically fugitives. But now that I have my memories back, I feel so horrible about everything I’ve done, both in the program and out of it. My friends have been pretty understanding since they also did a lot of terrible things in the cult, but I still can’t help but feel like it was all my fault since I was the first one to get brainwashed and got everyone else brainwashed in the first place. Maybe if I wasn’t such a people-pleaser, or if I had fought harder against it, or if I had just minded my own business and not gone looking for my friend…oh, there’s so much I could have done…maybe it could have been different. I could have prevented all this from ever happening. I should have.
Please, forgive me…
AITA?

It’s who I am
*A/n ~ I have a few one shots planned out that are more angst themed but I thought I'd try get some fluff in this one. Enjoy*
Prompt~ reader attends Nevermore with Larissa, Morticia and Gomez. Parent's weekend had arrived when reader decides to come out to their parents and effectively the rest of Nevermore.
☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾
"Y/n! Are you even listening to me?" Your mother snapped. It was parent's weekend at Nevermore. Most of the students were so excited for the weekend. You however were dreading it. Your parents and yourself always had a rocky relationship. It only became more strained when your abilities began to show themselves. Your parents were afraid you'd manipulate them due to being able to communicate with your mind and emotions. It was just another thing that made you imperfect. You could never reach their expectations of you no matter how hard you tried. Since arriving at Nevermore you hadn't spoke to either of your parents. They had quite literally dumped you on the drive and left. At the start you felt abandoned and confused but Nevermore soon became a safe heaven for you.
With a quick glance around the quad you soon caught sight of your secret girlfriend. Larissa Weems. See you'd always knew you felt different but with her, everything just feels right. For the first time in your life your loved, accepted and wanted as yourself. Larissa never wanted you to be anyone but yourself. You may be young but you knew one day you'd marry her. Your forever home for the beating organ in your chest. Nevermore had taken the news of you and Larissa extremely well. But telling your parents? That was the hard part.
"Sorry mother, just thinking." You managed to mutter out in reply to her jab.
"Y/n I found you the perfect boy back home. He will over look this unfortunate curse you have. He wants to marry you as soon as you can y/n. Isn't this exciting! Your last chance to prove your not a disappointment" She happily babbled away gushing about this new piece of news. You just sat there dumbfounded. Your own mother was attempting to marry you off? Unfortunate curse? What?
"I- uh what?" Was all you managed to stutter out nervously messing with the ring on your right hand.
"God y/n! It's pardon not what! So rude. You'll have to fix that before you come back to marry Max. You will need to be a proper lady." She retorted back at you. You couldn't help but sit there and wonder what drug she had taken? How could this make sense in her head.
Your hands were shaking and your leg was involuntarily bouncing you couldn't help the rage that bubbled up inside you. With a shaky breath your words just flew out. "Mother! I will not be marrying max or any man for the matter. Mother I'm gay. And yes I know what you'll say. I know I'm a disappointment. I know I'm not the perfect princess you wanted me to be. But this is who I am. And I won't change to make you happy. If you can't love me for me then just leave. I have an amazing relationship and I'm so happy at Nevermore. I finally have a home where I belong. So please either be quiet on the situation or leave."
The loud crack of flesh meeting flesh rang through the quad. Tears immediately sprang in your eyes as your hand came to cradle the now red cheek. The smack had most definitely got the attention of those around you and you could feel the embarrassment rising. You're eyes sought out those beautiful blue eyes the ones that were those of your lovers.
"How dare you speak to me in such a manner. Such a fucking disgrace. We are leaving! Don't come back till your normal" and with that your mother turned on her heal leaving with your father not even bothering to spare you a glance as he followed. Not being able to take the looks of pity you quickly darted away from the quad and to your dorm that you shared with your girlfriend. Tears were flowing freely as you found your self crashing onto Larissa's bed nose nuzzled into her pillow allowing the scent to surround you. Her pillow would be soaked but you didn't care you just needed her. It was a secret that only you knew but Larissa loved to wear comfortable clothes in the safety of your dorm so you reached for the hoodie that she would wear to bed every night and brought it to your chest.
How could your parents say those things? They were meant to love you? Why didn't they love you? Why aren't you enough? God why can't you just be you? She hit you. The shock of that had finally wore off but the embarrassment remained. Using your girlfriends scent you attempted to ground yourself. They were gone. You were safe. Here in your room on your girlfriends bed no one would hurt you. You'd be okay. Eyelashes fluttering shut as your body finally gave into the exhaustion your emotions had caused.
Feather light fingers danced up and down your spine rousing you from your sleep. Absentmindedly nuzzling into what you assumed was Larissa'a pillow you murmured quietly adjusting to the world of the living.
"Hi my darling girl. You're okay. Im here and I won't leave you y/n. I'm sorry baby I know today has been hard but we can stay here like this for as long as you need to okay? I - I love you y/n" she whispered into your hair. Hands instantly tightening around you when she felt the sobs wrecking through your body. All she could do was hold you. Nothing would take away the pain of what you had experienced today. But she'd be damned if she didn't try.
"Baby? Look at me?" The blonde gently moved you so you could see her, "I'm so proud to call your my girlfriend and I hope you know that you're absolutely perfect sweetheart. Never change. You'll always be my y/n."
Starring into the eyes you knew you could just get lost in and be content you assessed her expressions and you knew she meant every word. You'd be okay with her.
"I love you Rissa" was all you managed to mumble out.
"Oh my baby I love you too now let's enjoy our cuddle mhm?" Upon hearing that you nuzzled more into her neck. Yes everything would be okay as long as you had your Rissa.
Word count ~ 1110
*A/n | not my best one shot but we love comforting Larissa. See you next time"

I like Priscilla and I appreciate that she has managed to keep Graceland afloat along with Elvis’s legacy but it irks me how people act like she was perfect. Everyone acts like Elvis is the sole reason their marriage failed but no one talks about how what she did, like having affairs herself
thank you so much for the ask <3!! sorry y’all this is longg
before I give my opinion, I just want to say a quick disclaimer because it’s important to acknowledge that I was obviously not apart of their marriage or their relationship and therefore my opinion is essentially irrelevant. I always find it weird when people talk about celebrity relationships with authority as though they were actually apart of it 😩, so I just want to say that at the end of the day it wasn’t my relationship, I don’t know the full truth, anything I say is just from what I’ve gathered from books/interviews
and just from what I have read, I honestly think their marriage was doomed from the very start because when Elvis married Priscilla in 1967 he essentially married a caricature version of her🤧 Priscilla created a look and personality that she believed embodied all of the traits that Elvis found ideal in a woman, and by doing so she created a fantasy that she wouldn’t be able to uphold as she grew older and became her own person. And when it comes to her and Elvis, I always felt like they fell in love with the idea of each-other, which is probably not the best foundation to build a marriage on😩 As the years went by and as they changed as people, they definitely grew apart and grew separately. I think Priscilla even said it was like they both lived separate lives
(Red West speaking on Elvis and Priscilla in “Elvis: What happened?” ⬇️)
Tumblr media
as for affairs, Priscilla did indeed confirm that she had an affair with her dance instructor who she refers to as “Mark” in her book, soon after Lisa Marie was born. To give context this was also when Elvis began withdrawing from her s*xually, as she tells it, because he had pause about making love with a woman who had given birth to his child. She said the affair with Mark was very brief and it ultimately made her realize she wanted more out of her relationship with Elvis. The Memphis Mafia have also alleged that Priscilla had an affair with one of the male dancers in the 68 comeback special but she hasn’t spoken on that specific allegation herself. Then of course there was her affair with Mike Stone which is much more infamous and is what gave Priscilla the final nudge to ask for a divorce from Elvis. Tbh I’m really curious to see if the upcoming Priscilla movie will acknowledge the affairs on both her and Elvis’ end… like if they show Ann-Margret and they better include Mike Stone also 😩
And yeah while she did admit to being unfaithful while being married to Elvis, obviously in comparison to Elvis’ affairs, hers were much fewer in count. But on those grounds, like you said they both went against their vows and again, I don’t think we are in any place to judge either one of them because we didn’t live the relationship ��🏻‍♀️
Your ask also made me think about how they were incompatible on many levels which I’m sure put strain on the marriage. The biggest one to me is the lack of interest on Priscilla’s part in Elvis’ spirituality, and books on the subject. And again I’m not placing any blame on Priscilla because you cannot force interest in a subject, you either like it or you don’t. And to be fair to Priscilla, Elvis didn’t exactly support all of her interests, like how she wanted to pursue modeling in the 60s. But there’s one passage from her book that I think really summarizes their incompatibility on a mental/emotional level ⬇️
“Although I was striving to be his soul mate and subtly becoming more aware of myself as a spiritual being, my heart longed for the very temptations he was fighting to conquer”
The very first sentence of this quote is very telling ⬆️: you don’t strive to be someone’s soulmate, I feel like you either are, or you aren’t 🤧
“As his soul mate I was expected to search for answers as fervently as he did, but I just couldn’t bear reading the ponderous tracts that surrounded us in bed every night. Usually within five minutes of opening one, I’d be sound asleep. Annoyed at my obvious disinterest, he woke me to share an insightful passage. If I voiced the slightest protest, he’d say, ‘Things will never work out between us, Cilla, because you don’t show any interest in me or my philosophies’”
Priscilla was extremely unhappy during this time and their relationship was really rocky as Elvis explored his spirituality. And in an effort to please her, he agreed to burning all of his spiritual books, which I always thought was so sad because he felt like he had to abandon such a major part of himself just to keep peace in the relationship
I think divorce was definitely inevitable for these two, and like you mentioned it’s just not fair to place all of the blame on Elvis when they both didn’t fit each other’s needs as partners

Aerti Reading of No Promises to Keep
So, new FF7 theme song, new group of lyrics to analyze, debate about Who It's About. While I'm fairly certain it's about all the people who Aerith came to know and who care for her, I can't help but feel that they lyrics point towards Tifa most of all. Perhaps it's simply shipping vision, but Hollow, while generally being about Cloud's state of mind trying to handle loss, definitely feels like it centers around Cloud's relationship with Zack specifically.
I'm not gonna write an essay about those two, but I will link to a video that pretty much embodies every reason why it embodies Zakkura:
youtube
But now, let's break down No Promises to Keep with that in mind. Hopefully I don't kick any hornets' nests in the process.
Walking city streets with worn cobblestones Listening to people rushing past to rhythms all their own Life passing me by, not thinking how the years have flown Until I met you
This portion can apply to Zack, Cloud, and Tifa pretty equally. All three of them played a part in Aerith engaging more in her own life. Zack kickstarted her flower-selling business; Cloud's fall led to her leaving Sector 5 with him and deciding to help rescue Tifa; and Tifa herself became her closest confidant and friend, both of them acting like each other's childhood girl friend that neither of them had a chance to experience.
I won't say that it was fate I won't say that it was destiny But if not, what could it be that drew you towards me? Could it be chance?
Let's be real- the fact that Aerith met Tifa at all is an absolutely wild chain of events from an outside perspective. Because Zack got her to start selling flowers topside, she ran into Cloud and happened to meet him once again when his fall from above landed in a church she frequents to gather flowers from. Then, when she accompanied him out of Sector 5, Chocobo Sam's cart carrying Tifa passed by and fired Aerith up to help rescue her.
Given that the Whispers only show up when the destiny of the Planet needs to be corrected, there's definitely an implication that all of these events were fated to occur. However, given that the Remake Trilogy's themes are heavy on changing destiny and if fates are fixed, these lines could be reflective of how Aerith is trying to fight the future she saw. Thus, she doesn't want to attribute the reason she met these people important to her to something greater. Better for it all to be pure chance that she knows them, that they sought each other out instead of being herded towards one another.
Till the day that we meet again Where or when? I wish I could say But believe—know that you'll find me Promises to keep, we won't ever need
While this is very much a general sentiment of Aerith wanting to be with her friends again after her death, the last line's rather striking to me. She doesn't need a promise for them to meet again- they will, even though she has no guarantee for how it'll happen. It's meant to reassure the ones she's singing to, and when it comes to someone who relied on a promise to keep herself connected to an important person in her life, Tifa Lockhart is the first one to come to mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tifa has a lot of abandonment issues, rightfully so given... *gestures at her entire history*. At this point in her life, her childhood friend group had started seeing her as a romantic prospect and severely strained her ability to be open with them. Cloud, distant as he was, felt like the only one she could connect with who wasn't openly trying to court her, the closest one to treating Tifa like Tifa instead of a Young Maiden. If he leaves, she would lose the one person her age who talks to her like a person, and there's no guarantee that they would ever see each other again once he's gone. Trace of Two Pasts says that Tifa had a "special 'like'" for him, one that she couldn't afford to lose. So she comes up with the promise, a way to cope with the loneliness, something to believe in, like how she tried crossing Mt. Nibel to find her deceased mother on the other side.
She's the type of person who would need this kind of reassurance, especially with someone she's developed a close relationship with. Rebirth is not shy in showing that Aerith and Tifa are basically inseparable. And given the *ahem* separation which occurs at the end of Rebirth, Aerith would want to try and soften the pain and despair that would come for Tifa through the grief. If she could tell Tifa when or where they'll reunite, she would, but all she can do for now is help Tifa believe that they will meet again, that this parting is temporary and she won't need to mourn forever.
If only I'd never known All the burdens I was born to bear Lived a life without a care in the world save for you… But that won't do
Remake Aerith's gotten some glimpses of what will happen in the future/has happened in the past, something that's clearly weighed on her throughout the games. She's scared of the Whispers stealing away those parts of her, warns Cloud not to fall in love with her, and tries to keep Marlene and Red XIII as out of her memories/visions as best she can. But she knows she's meant to die for the sake of the Planet
Even beyond the meta elements of it, Aerith's status as a Cetra- the last Cetra- and her connection to the Lifestream has prevented her from really feeling as just another girl. She's the centerpiece of Shinra's plan to find the Promised Land, she's watched over by the Turks, she's been trapped since her birth and has never been able to make any real choices.
Wouldn't it be nice to be ignorant of all that? To have even a year where she didn't feel the weight of the world on her shoulders and could live as a carefree girl who loves flowers? But even if she could sweep away all those worries, she would still want to know the important people in her life and all the struggle that comes from caring. Now, that's an impossible dream, a good dream. To go shopping topside with her friends, going on a beautiful date with Tifa in Costa del Sol, basking in the wonder of the Gold Saucer. It would be nice to stay in those fantasies forever, but the future's approaches, it's survival hinging on her playing her part. So she has to let them fall to the wayside.
Till the day that we meet again On our street, I want to believe In the chance that we'll share a glance Promises to keep, we won't ever need
Much the same sentiment as the first chorus, but this time focusing on Aerith's perspective. Even though she put her carefree dreams aside, she needs to hold onto the belief that there's simply a chance for them to see each other again.
Aerith and Tifa have a recurring gesture of turning towards each other to connect, eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart. That's their way to communicate with each other in a way only they get to hear and see.
Tumblr media
Then, in the ending scenes of Rebirth, when everyone's getting up to leave the altar, Cloud and Aerith look back to wait for Tifa, with Aerith in the foreground. When Tifa shakily gets up, takes a breath and turns around, Aerith's not there for her to look into her eyes, to share a mischievous smile with, to whisper their little jokes to. Maybe Tifa can't see Aerith now, but Aerith wants to believe that they might get to share a glance with each other one more time.
Till the day that we meet again At our place, just let me believe In the chance that you'll come Take my hand and never let me go Take my hand And believe We can be Together evermore
I don't think I need to point out how often Tifa holds onto Aerith's hand or has to catch her in her arms. Granted, a number of these happen in life-threatening situations, but we're in a JRPG here- those moments are basically flirting without calling it flirting /s. Honestly, though, these ladies give so much physical affection and care for each other. It'd take forever to put down all the examples, but you could probably find some real easy just by searching up Aerti, so let's move on to the last bit of the song.
Walking city streets with worn cobblestones Struggling against the crowds and finding ourselves all alone Fate and destiny are no guarantee Still I hope someday you'll come and find me Still I know someday you'll come and find me
Once again with walking through busy streets. Though this time the two of them make it through the crowd and get to be alone. The only crowd I can think of is Tifa pulling Aerith through the Gold Saucer crowd to get closer to the front. As for the two of them being alone, off the top of my head there's the room in Kalm and the cargo hold on the cruise ship where they're softly sharing their Pre-Order Pasts with one another... seemingly only with each other for now. And once more, there's a lack of trust put in fate and destiny.
However, she hopes and then knows that she'll be found be this person. Really reminds one of a pretty vulnerable moment Aerith had in Remake does it not?
Tumblr media
She was already found once. She trusts that she'll be found again... someday.

HIII!!! What are your thoughts on Indis? I love love her so much. Do you have any headcanons about her?
Hello! (。・∀・)ノ゙I have some thoughts on Indis!
I've talked about her before in the context of her relationship with others (as well as a little fic), but Indis is so interesting to me as someone who was willing to marry Finwe even with the complexity surrounding the issue.
My general thoughts on Indis--based purely on headcanon--are:
Indis tends to be soft-spoken. She's not in-your-face audacious the way Miriel was; she doesn't like to attract that much attention. She's not someone who enjoys conflict, so if she disagrees, she's not likely to start an argument about it, which leads to:
When Indis is upset, she tends to be very passive-aggressive about it. Because she doesn't want to confront a problem head-on, she finds a thousand other little ways to show that she's upset and some people find this extremely off-putting.
She's a relatively down-to-earth person. She did not marry Finwe because she had any interest in his wealth or in being queen of the Noldor; she just loved him, and she would have loved him if he was a farmer or a shepherd just as much as when he was king. She tends not to dress as ornately as Miriel did.
She struggled a lot with feeling that she had to "live up" to Miriel's memory, which only seemed to grow grander with time. There were some Noldor who never came to consider Indis a legitimate queen and remained loyal to Miriel and it took Indis a long time to accept she was never going to win those people over. I tend to imagine Miriel as a very strong personality (Feanor takes a lot more after her than after Finwe), which made her feel like hard act to follow up on, for Indis.
Indis was someone who loved being a mommy. She loved having her kids, she loved watching them through each phase of their life, and it was something that was really rewarding to her. She wanted to try to fill this role for Feanor, but it became clear to her that he was not interested in that.
She definitely babied Finarfin, as her youngest and last child.
As her first grandchild, Fingon got so spoiled at grandma and grandpa's.
While she got along well with Anaire and Earwen, her relationship with Nerdanel was heavily strained by each of their relationships with Feanor, and after the Darkening, Nerdanel bowed out of the royal palace. Indis never said she wasn't welcome there anymore--but see above about the passive-aggressive thing.
She sings a lot to herself while doing chores and things.
Had virtually no relationship with Feanor and Nerdanel's kids. What she did have was only because Feanor liked them to spend time with Grandpa Finwe, and she was usually around for that.
I like to imagine her taking the time to get to know Celebrian, after Celebrian sails west <3 Galadriel can now look forward to her grandma and her daughter ganging up on her when she gets back to Aman.
Like most Silm characters, I think of her as a naturally flawed, but overall good person who is trying her best. She makes mistakes, but she's trying.
If you haven't had the chance to read any of History of Middle-earth yet, there's some fun Indis tidbits in there, like Tolkien's description of one of her meetings with Finwe before their marriage.

I loved the cousin drunken bonding in latest Progression chapter. It was so hilarious and cute. I am absolutely blown by Macau/Kinn though. I don't think I have ever read about these two together, even talking more than few words. While Khun/Vegas is cute and can be seen, Macau/Kinn is such rarepair cousin bond than I immediately started to ship them hard (not ship as romantically but as in cousin bonding). I can't wait for the next chapter. I hope ultimate shippers, Chay and Porsche, can see their appeal too. :D
Hello! I'm glad you liked the bonding between the cousins. It was definitely fun to write. I will say my favorite cousin dynamic tends to be between Tankhun and Vegas. They are the oldest sons and Vegas never treats Tankhun with disrespect - even after getting hit in the head with a tray. The most he does is attempt to stare him down, a challenge he quickly backs down from in silence, which is surprising when he had been smugly challenging Kinn through tense conversation just seconds before. The most negative thing he says about him is that he is "something" (at least going by the English translation). I like to think that they loved each other at one point, and maybe Vegas looked up to him and feels some semblance of sadness when he thinks about what Tankhun went through. Tankhun was old enough to be the big brother Vegas desperately needed - and maybe once had before their families became too strained and set on competition.
As for Kinn and Macau, they have a potential dynamic that interests me too. I can see Kinn as someone who wants to be both a protector and a friend to his brothers, but it is difficult with their very different personalities and the wedges forces between them due to their trauma and their overall situation. He was likely conditioned to be a protector by both his father as well as himself after Tankhun's kidnapping happened. While he likely adores his older brother, is present for him, and makes sure he has guards who are more suitable as friends, rather than just staff, there is likely some resentment, heartbreak, and grief for who is older brother once was and will likely never be again. His relationship with Kim seems like a distant one. In this story, this result is due to an upsetting incident during their childhood, Kim struggling to connect and express his emotions, and Kinn being the most involved in the family business while Kim wants nothing to do with it. There is likely resentment from Kinn as well, that Kim gets to follow his dreams while Kinn has to stay back and do all that is expected of him.
While both Khun and Kim genuinely love Kinn, there is a distance that Vegas and Macau simply don't have. While Vegas always feels like he is getting pitted against and beat by Kinn, he is more successful than him in at least one aspect: he actually has a healthy relationship with his brother. Macau is the youngest and not involved in the business either. Like Kim, I see him holding very little interest in it. However, he is present for his brother. He supports him, spends time with him, and is openly affectionate with him in a way that seems to come to both of them easily and without hesitation, which is something we don't really see between the major family brothers (although Khun does seem to want physical affection from him).
To me - at least in this story - Macau represents what Kinn would ideally want in a sibling. Macau may not show interest in any mafia business, but he also likely doesn't share any old lifetime goals Kinn once had for himself. On top of that, Macau is loyal. He is the one member of the family who successfully does his own thing and stays out of the business, yet stays loyal to his brother, who is very much tangled up in the expectations their family has. He is present, loving, there, and was never in a situation where he stepped back from previous responsibilities like Khun did. He also never distanced himself from the entire family due to his lack of interest in their operations like Kim did.
In some ways, Macau just being himself and resistent and avoidant towards the mafia/his father while remaining close and loving towards his brother makes him the most ideal sibling in either family. He is also the most "normal" by far. Kinn adores his brothers and wouldn't trade them for anything, but I think Vegas got something that Kinn simply didn't by having Macau as a brother: a healthy brotherly relationship that somehow was strengthened by their circumstances rather than tainted and strained. I think a lot of that deals with how Macau operates, which brings out Vegas loving, affectionate, protective, and nurturing side. This is a side Kinn has as well, but since his relationships with his own brothers were strained, that side sort of remains stagnant.
It's been coming out more that they have all become closer, and Kinn is incredibly grateful for it. That being said, he feels like a third wheel at times, and his role as heir/head made Tankhun and Kim hesitant to share certain things with him. Despite Vegas also being heir/head, Macau never faced this predicament. So when Macau and Kinn get drunk together after the cousin reconciliation and the two are left alone, I feel like Macau's sincere side comes out, all while Kinn's protective and caretaking side comes out. Talking with Macau was likely very easy in comparison to opening up with his brothers. Despite it being alcohol fueled, he felt genuine connection with his (now second) youngest family member. It felt easy, like how brotherly bonding should feel like.
We definitely might see more Kinn and Macau moments! I can see Macau just randomly inviting Kinn out to go jet skiing or something and Porsche being like, "Huh???" all while Kinn leaves the compound with an excited grin on his face because he's getting chosen over Tankhun and Kim lolol. But I think Chay will be invested, and Porsche will too after getting over his confusion.
Anyway, this turned into a rambling essay that got away from me lolol. But thank you for the ask and I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

I had reached the tag limit on love persevering but you NEED to know my thoughts because it was SO FUCKING GOOD OK YOU KNOCKED IT OUTTA THE BALLPARK! You got the characterization of literally everyone so perfect & I love the way you write about Fjord’s strained relationship with tickling & backed it up with canon justification ‘cause it would honestly make sense for him to feel that way about it with the way he grew up. His struggle to want to be close with his friends & engage in their playful affection but having these valid reservations about doing so is literally sooo good! & it made me so sad when Jester tried to tickle him but he was all shut off & upset & Caduceus quietly comforting her is just so 🥺 & I can tell it would be something Fjord would overthink when given the time to do so & literally just blurting out the question to Caleb in the middle of the night. Caleb’s reaction is so damn funny & genuine like that is 100% how he would response he is NOT equipped for this conversation without combusting from embarrassment. The way they all cried over Molly literally brought tears to my eyes it was so heartfelt & emotional & I was not expecting that omg. I needed to mourn him alongside the other characters, it was so cathartic. & the way they literally had a tickle fight in his memory felt so fitting & was such a mighty nein move! & THEN HE ACTUALLY SHOWED UP & ONLY CADUCEUS COULD SEE HIM?? ACTUAL PERFECTION LITERALLY THE BEST MOMENT IN ALL OF FANFICTION! & then he joined the fray & got to tickle his friends 1 last time & make them laugh & feel loved & AAAAHHHH I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS FIC!!!! Seriously this was amazing I am so grateful for this & for you sorry for the long tangent but I NEED you to know just how amazing & wonderful that fic is seriously you cured every ailment in my body
Omg you just made my entire day, week and month 😭😭 I’m so glad you liked it!!! Thank you so much for telling me how much you loved it, I appreciate that so much and it means so much to me 💜 This really became such an important fic to me over the last couple months of working on it and it makes me SO happy to hear it’s had the same effect on others too! You can write me a long tangent any day of the week, I’m so thrilled to hear all of your thoughts!!!
Yesss Fjord is SUCH an overthinker but he just keeps everything to himself and then blurts it out at the worst moment lmao. And Caleb is just starting to get used to that with regular day-to-day stuff, he’s NOT prepared for the conversation Fjord is trying to start. But he doesn’t want to push him away so he does the next best thing: Put them both in front of Cad and let him handle it 😂 There were definitely tears when I was writing them all talking about Molly, I think we all needed that mourning. And then I just couldn’t leave him out of a tickle fight being held in his honor!! You know he would find a way to show up for that if he had to petition multiple goddesses themselves! And Caduceus! What are high perception and insight characters even for if not to see the ghost of your friends’ best friend coming back to make them laugh one last time?? Ahhh Fjord and Jester, I love them so much and I was sooo sad to write Fjord rejecting Jester’s silliness this time 🥺 But he just needed some time to (over)think. When I was sitting there thinking ‘what would it take for Fjord to be okay with being tickled’ the first thing that came to my mind was Jester, it would take Jester. But it actually took all of them in different ways because that’s just how it works with the mighty nein and I love them for that. It took me forever to get into Fjord’s head for this but once I did I just fell in love with him even more, he wants to be close and playful with his friends but he’s just not sure how and he’s had so many bad experiences he doesn’t even know what to do. He’s always walking that line of trying to be cool and tough vs being vulnerable and silly with his friends and it was so fun to write that. Anyway thank YOU for sharing all your thoughts with me, it literally made my day!!!

Helloooo I almost forgot, but do you have any headcanons for the batkids and the relationships between them? I feel like that’s bound to be interesting
Ohhs everyone definitely has a favorite or someone they just gravitate towards more
Dick & Jasons: They probably had a more acquaintance relationship in the beginning with B & Dick getting in arguments whenever they where in the same room (I mean Dick in cannon still made sure Jason had a way to contact him or reach out if he needed help or just advice) but they still hung out sometimes and would have gotten closer if Jason hadn’t died and after Jason came back their relationship was kinda strained before they had more one-on-one time and had more time to interact with each other and get to know how they’ve each changed and grown
Cass & Babs: I see with more of a mother-daughter relationship with Cass seeing Babs as a motherly figure and someone she can lean on to and can ground her, and Babs taking Cass under her wing and mentoring her and teaching her about life and how the world work (also I know Babs isn’t a batkid but when I was writing this I was thinking more just batfamily relationships in general)
Steph & Damian: Steph is one of the few people who sees that Damian is just a kid, I think she definitely wants to bring out his more childish side and teach him how to do that, and Damian for all his insults & jabs at her has things to learn from her and is protective over her
Duke & Jason: They definitely understand eachother better with them being from not so good parts of Gotham, and I think Duke understand and appreciates what Jason does and how he works. Duke care less about the methods used and sees it for how it makes crime ally a little safer and the kids there trust Red Hood (He gets rid of there abusers and people that bring them harm, and he’s just very good with them) They’re both characters that stay true to the their morals (Duke stuck with the We Are Robin movement even after it was banned bc thats what he felt was right and Jason doesn’t regret to kills he’s made bc they were bad people so to say and some people don’t feel safe unless there abuser are gone for good. At least thats how I interpret the characters)
Dick & Tim: I think their relationship didn’t start in the greatest of terms with Tim randomly showing up to Dicks place more or less saying he needs to be robin again (a role that Dick has moved from and grown out of at this point) but after Tim did become robin I think Dick became more of a mentor to him in some ways and Tim definitely looks up to Dick and vists him from time to time so they grow a strong brotherly relationship

But like for this birthday I think it’s a slightly bigger event, which mean that it’s not the v1 cast but it’s them v2 and shuichis class v3
Now I think this is going to be havoc all around
But like imagine his classmate who don’t know who his parents are showing up at his house
Like you have this class mate who’s known for dropping cash but he works at mc Donald’s, you think nothing of it but then you come to his birthday at his house, and you think you got it wrong because you show up at a MANSION you still have doubts but you get to the gate and give them your invite and they let you in and who other but shuichi your mc Donald’s working class mate welcomes you
Like what are they to do in that situation
Also hajime still has kokichi on his leash and it’s the fifth one today
Also I need your thoughs please give me the honor of hearing them
A) all my aus are open source overstep as much as you want I love the thoughts
(Ok first I ran the numbers and that’s like 37 people lmao(including Nanami who attended via the roomba))
First off Kokichi starts a drinking game with Kaede (they’re drinking water dw) on how many friends are shocked upon realizing Shuichi Works-at-a-McDonalds-NaegiTogamiKirigiri lives here.
These two because as Shuichi’s resident co-best friends (they had an Epic Battle about it in the second grade and Shuichi officially declared them both his best friends) they’ve probably been over quite a few times over the years, notable mention that Kaito and Maki have definitely been over a few times as well
ALSO just. the sheer insanity. Shuichi casually showing his friends around and they're still highkey shocked. Homeboy has probably developed the habit of Not Bringing Up His Parents (not because of any relationship strain just cause. yknow. the celebrity thing lmao. Imagine meeting someone's parents and they're like "Oh I know them, I watched their friends die when I was younger.") so a lot of them just. had no idea. like yeah he may have mentioned like "oh yeah my dad works at Togami corp" "SHUICHI YOUR DAD IS THE FUCKING CEO OF TOGAMI CORP" "I mentioned he worked there didn't I?" or like "Yeah my dad works from home a lot but he also has to go on really long work trips" "Shuichi your dad is on an ad at the bus stop"
I feel like with absolutely everyone here, Shuichi's number one goal is to avoid Naegi getting out the baby photos (because we're looking at 16-17, and this is Shuichi, he would probably die on the spot if all his friends got to see the pumpkin video again) BUT ON TOP OF THAT we have Kokichi, who is trying to 4D chess his way into getting Naegi to pull out the baby photos (The rivalry may have calmed down but it will never die) So the two are silently battling it out with Naegi completely none the wiser. Also a silent and joking rivalry in Shuichi's class of just who can give him the best present. like nobody is getting violent but it's definitely become something HPA students even outside their class have started placing bets on. There's huge cash pools on the big players, Kokichi, Kaito, Kaede, and Maki, but it also became a gag to vote for Kiibo just to put the pressure on him to get a really good gift (for the lolz yknow?) and He's So Stressed The Whole Time.
also you and I both know Kokichi shoved Shuichi's head into his cake. Imagine it's become like a tradition at this point. they get a second smaller cake just for this weird tradition of theirs. Shuichi's just grown to accept it lmao.

Younger sibling hcs pt.2 (Ikemen Revolution)
Links to other parts: pt.1, pt.3
Warnings: Spoilers for info revealed in Edgars and Zeros routes, Slight spoilers for Jonahs into the looking glass route, Slight ooc as i have only done rays route. Don’t repost my writings, reblog instead! Wanna check out my other works? Here's my Masterlist!
Red Army
Lancelot Kingsley
Just the same as if you were his older sibling this man is SOFT for you even if he doesn't show it often. He loves you with all his being and thinks you're the best little sibling he could ever have and no matter how cold he may seem he will always love and care for you.
If like him you also have magic he'll teach you how to use it, he doesn't want you getting hurt by using it wrong or accidentally hurting others with it. Plus him teaching you how to control and use magic makes him feel like he's helping you and being a good older brother and he wants to feel like he's actually a good brother.
Because he's the king of hearts he's a busy man and can't always clear off his schedule but will do anything he can to just have the slightest minute of hanging out with you and being near you. Just seeing you smile and be happy makes him happy.
No matter what he absolutely refuses to get you involved with the magic tower and if they try anything he will absolutely beat amons ass. He's not having any of it, none. Just picture lance legit punting amon, that's what's gonna happen.
Jonah Clemence
Okay so take how Jonah treats Luka but somehow bump it up by 100. That's what being the youngest Clemence sibling is like with Jonah as a older brother. Jonah absolutely adores you and probably thinks you're the most adorable thing in existence and would totally squish your cheeks.
Growing up as the 3rd child of the Clemence family you were heavily neglected like Luka, your parents really only cared about Jonah. Meaning you and Luka grew very close while Jonah was the center of attention of everyone else of the world. However that didn't mean Jonah didn't love you guys any less and would always try and be the best big brother and loved you two with all his heart. But as time passed and everyone grew older relationships got strained as Luka ran away to black territory.
Your part of the family was simple since you weren't the queen of hearts. Get married too a wealthy and noble family and continue the Clemence family name. If you didn't want that then well too bad, you have too. Shown in the looking glass route the Clemence family is very outdated when it comes to mannerisms and was stuck in the old version of the world so you'd be constantly pressured to get married and continue the family name even if you did nothing of worth to the family. At the very least this is the most you can do to help the family for once. But we know Jonah and know how stubborn he is so if he would ever find out he would argue with your parents back to back about letting you have your own individuality and not be married off too another noble family. He would be supportive with whatever you decided too do.
Even with his busy schedule as the queen of hearts he'll always find room or make room for you in it. You're his younger sibling so you are basically top priority no matter what. You want to go to a cafe? Jonah will instantly drop whatever he's doing and bring you too one. And if you don't want him to get in trouble for not doing some of his duties you better start keeping the things you wanna do or the places you wanna go a bit more of a secret.
Edgar Bright
Before Claudius took you two in you and edgar were as close as two people could be, even as children as young as 3 and 2 years old you two had absolutely unconditional love and care for eachother and no matter what happened you two were always there for one another. But after Claudius took you guys in that changed. Edgar changed and became more distant and you were confused. But as a clueless kid you just let it happen much to Claudius's happiness.
Though you two aren't as close as before you definitely aren't distant, While Edgar keeps his distance to protect you he also doesn't entirely separate himself from you as that would draw suspicion and Edgar wants to keep you far away from the business he and Claudius do. He absolutely refuses to let you find out anything and will do anything to cover it up just too protect you.
One thing you can always count on though is him getting you out of any situation where you're in trouble or are just uncomfortable in, Especially if Claudius is involved. He'll just find a way to get you out of the room either it be by creating a distraction to draw you out or getting you out of there by entering the conversation or situation by himself he is getting you out. And to be honest, i don't think he would mind taking a life too protect you. of course that would be a last resort but if it came too that he would take a persons life for you.
Even with his duties as the jack of hearts and seemingly non-existent heart (the man is called the gentle demon for a reason after all) there will always be a special place in his heart where only you are. And no matter what it takes, he will always protect you.
Zero
For a long span of 13 years it was just Zero sitting in that tower. But eventually you were brought into the world like how they had artificially made zero. And throughout those years you two bonded even while trapped and used for magic experiments by the magic tower. But even after all those painful years you and zero still persevered and eventually were left and pushed out into the real world to fend for yourselves. Zero being older compared too you took full responsibly in taking care of you despite this world being a completely new thing too him as well. by that time zero himself was only around 13 with you not being too much younger (possibly around 10)
Zero is very veryyy protective of you but tries to limit his actions fueled by that protectiveness unless you're actually in danger. You two grew up together in a dangerous and scary environment so it's really only natural for zero to be protective of the person he see's as his little sibling even if you two aren't biologically related.
Eventually you two got enrolled in schools and he met Edgar and years flew past and now he's the ace of hearts, and though you yourself aren't apart of the red army you're decent friends with most of the chosen 13 due to being zeros siblings. This also includes being friends with the past ace of hearts mousse.
The cold stone floor of a cell in the magic tower was all he use to know and when he first stepped out into the world he was terrified, but he knew he had to continue pushing forward and living. Especially with a confused and just as scared 10 year hold clinging onto his hand. Even through all that pain and heartache you two have overcome many challenges and are ready to face whatever the world throws at you together.
Kyle Ash
Pov: Your older brother being more like a drunk aunt more then anything. Jokes aside i feel like kyle would be a good older brother and though he's hung over almost all the time he doesn't want you following in his footsteps and becoming a alcoholic like him and would try his best to set a good example around you by not drinking as much or at all. If you're older and a adult he won't express as much worry as he believes you're a smart adult that can make their own decisions and an adults brain isn't as impressionable as a Childs he definitely doesn't want you becoming a alcoholic like him.
If you're ever sick or injured big brother mode will switch on IMMEDIATELY. And you best believe you are getting the best care possible for whatever you injured or whatever you got sick with. He is extremely serious when it comes to your health and safety and will take 0 bullshit when it comes to it.
If you're ever interested he's willing to teach you basic first aid that basically anyone can administer without knowing medicine of having gone to medical school. It's a skill useful for both yourself and the safety of others!
Kyle schedule is busy as a doctor but every now and then when his schedule is free he'll always find time to spend time with you and talk with you. You two share a very chill and close bond!

👪🌙🌌📏☄️ and 💗 for Cecilia?
👪 What is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?
Cecilia doesn't have a ton of family. Unfortunately, both her parents passed before she was five years old, she didn't even have a name. Heimerdinger became her adoptive father after a chance encounter, he felt a connection to her and could tell she had a curious nature. Their father/daughter relationship is pretty strained for a while, with Cecilia feeling too confined, so she spends a lot of time in the undercity (where she was born). They're on better terms by progress day in act 2! Cecilia and Viktor are close childhood friends (to lovers 🤡) and she has sibling-like relationships with Jayce and Ekko.
🌙 What is your oc's greatest wish? How far are they willing to go for it?
Hmm that's a tough one! I think she has a similar dream to others in wanting to better the undercity. She wants everyone to have the opportunity to follow their own dreams or better themselves (what she's trying to do herself). I wouldn't say she's willing to do anything drastic for it, just trying to help in the best way she can as an individual. It's why she takes to tinkering; to build helpful mechanical creatures, limbs, & other devices.
🌌 What was the inspiration behind your oc? What was the first thing you decided about them?
I was very inspired by the arcane ocs I was seeing on my dash! People were interweaving them with the story so cleverly. During my rewatch, I decided I wanted an oc that had a connection with Viktor (🤡), but just based within the show as I've never delved into LoL lore. The first thing I decided was her name! I loved the sound of Cecilia and promptly realized Heimerdinger's first name is Cecil… so I thought it would be fun to do an adoptive parent (arcane classic) backstory and have him name her after himself 👹
📏 Is your oc well educated? Where did they get their learning from?
Despite her habit of skipping lessons and not always giving 100% of her attention, she's still well educated. With Heimerdinger for a father, it was a combination of individual lessons at home and attending Piltover Academy. When it comes to her tinkering it's mostly a lot of trial and error.
☄️ What do people assume about them? are they right?
They probably assume she's kind of aloof and ungrateful. They wouldn't be completely wrong about the ungratefulness. Around the time of act 2 she's started to mature and think about life/her experiences in a different way than when she was younger. The aloof assumption is wrong though; even if she was a rebellious youth, she's always been a warm person with a kind heart and good intentions. She's just not comfortable with strangers.
💗 If they have a crush, is it noticeable? What changes when they're in love?
Definitely not. She hasn't really had a crush on anyone else besides Viktor (which has lasted YEARS) and not many have noticed. Although we know Viktor wouldn't notice it anyway 😵‍💫 Honestly once it morphs into love, it's probably more noticable! She's less nervous and overthink-y, her gaze is more…tender and soft.

11 and 17 for Kimber!
Also entirely separate thing, but I hope when the whole “Fall of Kamino” arc happens and Crosshair reveals that he had his chip removed a long time ago — and then he has the audacity to ask “does it matter?” When Hunter asks when he got it removed — Kimber throws up her hands and just screams “YES!!! THE HELL DO YOU MEAN ‘DOES IT MATTER”?!” Because that was me. That was me at that moment and to this day I’m STILL so confused about it. Like. What??? Crosshair it makes a BIG difference in terms of when you got your chipped removed. Bro. Dude. My man. You tried to kill your brothers multiple times. Then you say “I had my chip removed a long time ago,” refuse to elaborate when, and then are so hurt when they train guns on you whenever you hold a gun and don’t trust you. Crosshair, your a great character and I love you, but Hell frozen on a popsicle stick. You can’t just try to kill your brothers (multiple times), try to kill your sister (who was a kid at the time, and again, multiple times), follow the empire when they’re doing some of the most unethical stuff you saw separatists doing, disabuse your family of the belief that it was mind control that was making you do this, refuse to elaborate when the mind control wasn’t a thing, leave them wondering how many times you DID have the chip removed and still tried to kill them, and expect them to be like “aite, sounds good homie. Let’s go join the living and political embodiment of ‘these hoes ain’t loyal’ and help it kill a bunch of innocents and ruin lives, because screw finding our own purpose and doing what we want. Which is like — what being a Bad Batcher is about — but we can always rebrand. Also let’s ditch the literal child that we’ve been raising as our family too. Yep. Sounds sane and normal to us.”
I apologize for that tangent. TLDR; I hope Kimber goes off on Crosshair a bit after the whole “I had my chip removed a long time ago” thing because in my honest, humble opinion: someone should have. Bro was making no sense and then felt betrayed when his squad felt betrayed, hurt, and confused. Not to say Crosshair hasn’t suffered or anything, but he just didn’t seem to consider his family’s point of view.
Okay, for real, my dear anon...this isn't really a huge spoiler, honestly, but OHMYGOSH, I LITERALLY HAVE SOMETHING JUST LIKE THAT ALREADY PLANNED!!! 😆 Hell, I'm pretty sure I have the dialogue already written and I've had it for probably over a year or so now. Cuz I feel the same, I remember being with Hunter in that scene and just thinking, "YES!! OF COURSE IT MATTERS, YOU ASSHOLE!!" And yeah, with how her relationship is with Crosshair (and how strained it definitely will be by that point), yeah, Kimber is definitely gonna be going off on him about that whole thing. You can be sure of that!!
Now, to the questions:
11) What was your inspiration for your OC?
You know, Kimber just started off as a random OC idea I came up with for, like, a one shot-type of fic I thought of that was way different. I'd thought of Hunter being stranded somewhere after a mission or something and he's injured and his squad is trying to find him. However, he's found by a random woman, Kimber, who takes him in and nurses him back to health. He spends a while with her and, over time, falls in love with her and wishes he could stay and have a normal life with her. Eventually, the Bad Batch find him, he leaves but promises to return to her one day.
I don't know how exactly that idea changed into what I've done with Sun and Rain, but I think it was for the better. Kimber became a much more complex, dynamic and all-around fun OC with the direction I've taken her and I definitely think she's grown so much. And she'll continue to grow even more as the story goes on through the rest of the show 😊
17) If your OC has kids, are they a good parent? Do they ever feel guilty if they have to leave them?
I've been thinking about that a lot since the show's finale...(I won't say anything in case of spoilers, even though it's been a week by this point), but I think Kimber would certainly be a wonderful mother. She had a bit of experience with kids back on Tatooine growing up and then helping take care of Omega will prepare her for raising kids, as well. Her and Hunter would be amazing parents, no doubt! Like any mother, I think she would definitely feel guilty having to leave them for any reason.
Thanks for the ask, anon!! 💜
