Right, okay, I’ve thought long and hard whether to write this:

A squick (even a strong one) is not the same as a trigger.

Emotional discomfort, even emotional discomfort that leads to low-level physical symptoms like e.g. mild nausea, is not trauma. Unfortunately, TikTok pop psych has done nothing to help people understand the difference, because the trend to perceive (even strong) emotional discomfort as equivalent to a trauma response is worrying and neither helps people with nor without PTSD. I don’t wish it on anyone to actually find out the difference if they haven’t yet (disclaimer, since this is unfortunately necessary these days because everything gets misconstrued: I am not talking about individual experiences, because only you can know about those. I’m talking about wider trends in an often young audience with not enough background info to be able to tell apart sound medical/psychological info and viral BS created by “influencers” for some kind of personal gain).

What people in the current fandom spat want to have tagged as “triggers” are overwhelmingly squicks. And we’re probably all guilty of quickly saying “that triggered me”, myself included (and I’m a licensed psychotherapist, shame on me). It has become somewhat of a shorthand for “extremely annoyed or grossed out”. But when it gets used in the context of tagging, it’s good to remember that no one owes us a tag list the length of our arm just because we don’t like certain things. Even if we strongly dislike them.

And even on the occasion someone else’s yuck or yum is an actual trigger for us, it is impossible to cover for every possible trigger, because in theory, EVERYTHING has the possibility to trigger someone somewhere.

E.g., a certain smell in a supermarket holds the rare possibility of triggering someone, but do you see disclaimers at the supermarket door that say, “May smell of 484 different things, which are in detail [list of 484 things] and might be different tomorrow. Plus, we might have a customer today who smells of that perfume that brings up your triggering childhood memories. Or maybe we won’t, but just on the odd chance we do, we thought we’d rather cover it”.

There might be one person with a very specific trigger that does literally nothing to the vast majority of people. Do we expect everyone on Tumblr to tag for “eyebrows” or “white T-Shirt” because of that? How about that person just puts “eyebrows” or “white T-Shirt” in their content filter instead?

Do we really suggest to put that type of responsibility on creators? More importantly: Who are we protecting that way? All we do is put people into bubble wrap and shift responsibility for our mental wellbeing away from ourselves to others.

We are trying to tell other people what to do for our own comfort. That’s controlling.

If we’re squicked out by something, there is a simple solution: we can stop looking or reading. We can use content (not tag) filters. In the worst case, we can block. We don’t have to put that type of responsibility for our personal sensitivities on creators (or people who reblog, for that matter).

We can tag for certain things as a courtesy, I’m all for it. I love being able to filter out stuff I’m not into, and I sometimes wish people would tag better or not tag a certain way (getting ship tags for a ship you’re not into slapped on your character-metas is annoying 🤣). But I don’t die, neither does it cause me unbearable distress, if I see cows where I don’t expect them. Scroll past or block. And if I’m worried about mature topics like nudity or violence: Tumblr has a community label for mature themes you can (and in my view should) use if in doubt. Funnily enough, many people don’t do that though—maybe because they worry about reach?

Of course we should include content warnings where they are due, no one says we shouldn’t. It’s also fair if a creator doesn’t wish to do that beyond general warnings (no specifics) though because they might give away, say, major plot points that way. In that case, general disclaimers like “contains depictions of violence”, or whatever it might be individually, are a good idea. And if that’s not specific enough for us despite knowing that “violence” in general might also contain our personal trigger, we might need to make the decision not to read it to stay safe, but we shouldn’t have a go at the writer for not tagging very specific things that might be considered spoilers.

Long story short: If we assume people are “triggered” by werewolves with vulvas or non-human characters, it might be worth thinking about whether we’re just talking about squicks that very much fall into the category of “personal responsibility”. And there are plenty solutions to that at our end—we don’t need to put that on creators…

HOW TO: WRITEBLR;

so youve migrated from writing twt to writeblr -> what now?

the following is my masterpost on the ins and outs of navigating the writeblr landscape! while it can be scary to deep-dive into the world of writing on tumblr for the first time, there are a few actions you can take to make it a lot easier to interact and share your writing.

psa: this is neither an extensive nor complete list of writeblr tips! but i hope it can help :)

INTERACTION;

interacting with others is one of the most important aspects of writeblr. im going to be splitting this section into a number of sub-sections because there are several topics relevant to creating a system of communication with other writers on here.

likes and reblogs; unlike twitter or other social media sites, likes do not hold the same weight on tumblr. as well as liking a post, the most important step you can take is to REBLOG. reblogging will share a post to your blog and thus your feed. in doing this, your followers and anyone who checks out your blog are going to see the post, rather than if you just like or comment. reblogging allows more people to interact with a post. content creators (including writers) can be motivated to continue posting when their posts are reblogged because it shows there are enough people interested in their works. the same goes for you! the more you reblog other people's works, the more likely your own posts will be reblogged, thus gaining more traction for all your hard-earned efforts.

taglists; you might be asking: what is a taglist? a taglist is usually featured at the bottom of your post when you share your writing. it includes people who have shown interest in your works - all you do is simply @ them. it means that people who are keen won't miss out on seeing the things you post about your wips! it is essentially an opt-in type deal, where people can choose to be added or removed from being notified about updates, excerpts, and the like.

don't abuse your taglist. don't tag them for every little thing you post about your wips - try to keep it to major posts like excerpts or new art, etc.

**** A HANDY HINT: writeblr etiquette states that you should never just add people to your taglist. only add them if they specifically ask.

tumblr tagging system; the tumblr tagging system is going to be your best friend as a writer. tags allow you to manage your posts + can act as a navigation system for your blog.

when tagging, make sure to not replace characters if it's for a trigger warning. 'assault', for example, should never be replaced with '@ssault'.

if posting an excerpt from your wip, i would suggest the following tags as the bare minimum: 'WIP NAME', 'WIP NAME EXCERPT'. if you're posting it as part of an event, you may also wish to include 'EVENT NAME'. you can also have a specific tag for things your friends write, for resources you may find helpful, etc. the possibilities are endless. a hint: the first five tags are the only tracked tags. the most important tags you want to add should be your FIRST FIVE TAGS on a post. furthermore, only the first twenty will show up in the search function.

tags are a good way for you to interact with other writers! when you reblog a post, OP will be able to read your tags where you can add how much you loved their work, etc.

POST FORMATTING;

do; - add trigger warnings to your posts if they contain sensitive topics. - add a plot, characters, etc. other writeblrs want context for your wip beyond just a number of dot points about tropes. - put your post under a 'read more' if it is a long post. - tag any nsfw content. - add a transcript of any photos/images under a 'read more'.

don't; - use any sort of fonts beyond the regular when writing a general post. using the 'chat' font, for example, reduces accessibility to your posts and makes it difficult for people to read. - just post dot points of your wip. - plagiarise. - use other people's posts as a place to self promote.

PINTEREST IS NOT AN ART SOURCE;

this is one of the biggest differences between tumblr and other social media sites: pinterest is. not. an. art. source. the truth is that people aren't going to care if you post a moodboard with nothing beyond a few random photos of a castle and a knife, etc. sure, they may look pretty, but don't do it for a number of reasons.

first, you should always post art directly from a credited source (e.g. unsplash or picrew).

second, it doesn't show enough about your wip! people want context! not just random photos!

thirdly, most photos or art on pinterest do not CREDIT their sources. this is theft and this is bad. which leads me onto the next topic.

CREDIT YOUR ARTISTS;

CREDIT ALL ARTISTS. if you use any sort of artwork, i swear to all things holy, give credit to the ORIGINAL sources. pinterest, as mentioned, is not an art source. most artwork on that site is stolen or posted without credit, which, funnily enough, is a form of theft. if you're going to post any form of photo or art, please give credit. it doesn't matter what form it takes; link to the original artist or photographer in a way that is not hidden.

MOODBOARDS AND GRAPHICS, OH MY;

one sad truth about being on tumblr, as with a lot of social media sites, is that your posts will gain a lot more interaction if you use some form of graphic or photo along with your writing. graphic making may seem daunting but it doesn't have to be! they don't have to be complicated or anything more than a few photos - as long as they have relevance to your wip. moodboards are not necessarily a bad form to take when making graphics for your posts. however, if it just features a random collection of photos that tell your audience nothing about your work, they're not going to care. writeblr is all about actually imparting information about your wips, rather than just vibes. ****as mentioned, any form of artwork or photography needs to be credited to the original source. however, etiquette is also to not repost art without express permission from the artist. if you don't have permission to use someone's art, DO NOT put it in your moodboard or graphic.

BLOG AND BLOG THEMES;

tumblr is a really great site for expressing yourself through your blog, especially if you use custom themes! if (like me) you're terrible at javascript and any form of http coding, there are a number of blogs you can search for to find custom made themes that are easily adaptable for your needs.

but why use a theme beyond expression?

one of the best aspects of using themes is the navigation aspect. most writeblrs have some form of navigation page (beyond just simply using the tumblr tagging system) to allow their audience to find information about their wips, writing resources, and the like! it makes going through your blog easier for both you and others.

also: make sure to include information about yourself on the blog (but of course, not to the point of doxxing yourself). most tumblr users, especially those on writeblr, will think you're most likely a bot if you dont include at least some things about yourself. the most common things to add are name, age and pronouns! also a dni can be used.

Hi there! Welcome to my masterlist. Each piece has its individual warnings at the top, above the read more cut, most pieces are 18+ so far.

My AO3

Thing I can't believe I have to say already:

1) Do NOT post my work on other sites please (the only places I post them are here and AO3, both under the same name),

2) I absolutely do NOT give my permission for any of my work to be fed to any form of AI/chatbot software etc. Please don't do this.

Now that's over with, enjoy!

The Green Dress:

Part One w/c: 4.2k

When Stark invites you last minute to one of his infamous parties, you've not got many options on hand to wear until Nat suggests you wear the green dress you had bought months ago. Perhaps it will be enough to inspire a certain god to finally make his move.

Part Two w/c: 2.3k

The smutty end to your night together. 18+

Quarantined:

Quarantined w/c: 4.8k

After an intel mission on a new neurotoxin that hydra may have, you and Loki are forced to quarantine together when it's discovered you may have encountered a new virus. 18+

Not Fair:

Not Fair

Loki overhears you complaining about the inadequacies of your latest lover to Nat and Wanda one night, and decides it's time for him to show you how they do it in Asgard. Inspired by the Lily Allen song 'Not fair' after rediscovering it the other day after a conversation with a friend. 18+

Sculpt me like one of your French girls:

Sculpt me like one of your French girls

Your friend Lena has brought you along to one of her pottery classes, convinced that the teacher is your perfect man. She's not wrong. 18+

Honey, are you coming?:

Honey, are you coming?

You find yourself thinking back on the night you and Loki got together for the first time, the teasing, the flirting, the dancing and of course the fucking...

Loosely based of the Maneskin song 'Honey, are you coming', I'd recommend listening to it as you read if you feel like it. 18+

I'm currently open to taking requests, but reserve the right to turn any down if I don't feel comfortable writing it :)

Reblogs and comments are HUGELY appreciated, and I welcome any thirst over our favourite god and actor.

I'm open to any constructive criticism of my writing as I'm still new to it and have much to learn, just as long as it truly is constructive.

If you wish to be added or removed from my tag list please let me know, as always there will be no hard feelings or questions asked 🥰

(also please let me know if any of the links don't work, I'm still new to the creating posts side of Tumblr)

fic quiz

tagged by the wonderful @nameslikeguns, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on ao3? 38! Got two WIPs cooking so hopefully I'll hit 40 by the new year :)

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

226,530

3. What fandoms do you write for? Literally just SPN these days. I do tend to just write for one fandom for years at a time though!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

when i'm down on my knees you're how i pray

someone forever warm

when i hear your lips make a sound

and if you crave it then you know that you are injured

i don't mean to suggest that i loved you the best

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes - eventually. I am always so happy and grateful for comments, they fuel me, but I'm bad at replying to them bc as @nameslikeguns said I can find it difficult to respond bc I find kind words hard to know how to respond to. IRL if someone compliments me I tend to just squirm lmao so my responses to comments are the online equivalent of that I guess! I tend to just scattergun reply to my whole inbox all at once when I feel brave enough.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh gosh; as someone who mostly writes angst this is really difficult to say! Most of my endings are *~angsty~*. but I guess the first that came to mind is i don't mean to suggest that i loved you the best.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? That's easy lmao. so many moving parts or maybe some unholy war, which is a fic I forget about because i wrote it so early on... but it has a happyish ending!

8. Do you get hate on fics? i don't know about hate but i've had the odd pass agg anon here and there who wanted to tell me my edgelording triggered their IBS or about how much they hate john. Just makes me lol tbh.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Is the pope Catholic... :) Yeah my fics are predominantly smutty but I don't write a lot of straightforward porn these days (I want to but the muse doesn't take me there). Wanky as this is going to sound I usually build the story around the smut so I can get horny and Make A Point at the same time. Works pretty well for me!

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I used to write a ton of bandslash back in thr day and that quite often involved crossovers from different, er, bands. I'm not going to talk anymore about that though lmao.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not fully stolen to my knowledge but there was a fic going around tumblr recently that had quite clearly borrowed heavily and too specifically from this fic to be a coincidence. The person in question when my friend investigated was actually a minor so... it felt really difficult to do anything about it lol, I'm not about to go after a child on the internet. So I just made a pass agg reblog of the original fic instead like "Hey recognise this?" like the mature and sensible adult I am. But BELIEVE the bee in my bonnet is still buzzing about that.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes in my previous fandom I had a few translated into Chinese and Russian! That was really cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes several back in my bandslash days... I wish I could refind my Franz Ferdinand girlies from LJ and confess that I was one of the people behind "the dark!fic" lmao. (Or maybe not bc I was like 14 and had no business being in that community or posting what I was posting).

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? John/the world. I want that old man to fuck everyone. Or possibly get fucked by everyone depending on where the mood is taking me.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Serial killer John may be one of my roman empires and yet it lies in googledocs gathering dust. One of my resolutions for 2024 is to finish it.

16. What are your writing strengths? Ugh these questions make me feel so awkward lmao. I mean... I think I have quite a good range? Which is feedback I get quite a lot so hopefully there's some truth in it! And I think I'm quite good at imagery and emotional pacing ig? I'm not sure what else to call it. Also in the vein of common feedback anyway.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? SELF DOUBT. Honestly mate if I wasn't bogged down with that shit so much I'd be dangerous 🤪 It does make me write slowly and abandon a lot of stuff I start but I'm working on it. From a technical standpoint though I do struggle with plot. I think I'm more of a vibes/moment in time writer than an epic plot writer which does gall me lol. But yeah - I definitely struggle with longer works because I struggle with keeping things cohesive and overwriting/explaining then just overwhelming myself. Again, a resolution to work on for 2024. I also feel like I struggle with dialogue sometimes; if it doesnt magically come to me fully formed which is rare I'll really have to work at it. Trust me if you've ever written a dialogue heavy fic from me then just know that chances are said dialogue will have chopped and changed and been edited within an inch of its life.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I can only speak English sadly and have ultimate respect for people who write in a language that is not their first. That's just so amazing to me.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The White Stripes. Lmao. There were quite a lot of us back in the day.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Hands down i heard love is blind. sharp teeth dry heat and when the stiff wind blows are close seconds because i lived my goddamn truth with both of those fics 🥲 And I have a somewhat complicated relationship with what it is but I'm happy that it exists and i'm happy that it still does the rounds occasionally!

tagging @amiwritesthings @castratedsamwinchester @spnyuri @lovetranasction @beautyandthebeastiality @babybrothershaped and whoever else wants to do this idk who is and isn't writing atm lol

#𝑺𝑼𝑰𝒀𝑼𝑼𝑵 — private and selective mutuals only rp blog for 𝐊𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐓𝐎 / the Pillar of Fortitude of 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐓 — NSFW themes heavily present. minors please 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 interact. multiverse / multiship / OC / duplicate / crossover friendly. wished by 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 ( 29 / she + her / CST - 5 )

‒‒‒‒‒‒ carrd. ‒‒‒‒‒‒ ask prompts. ‒‒‒‒‒‒ headcanons. ‒‒‒‒‒‒

𝐈. This blog is PRIVATE, SELECTIVE, and MUTUALS ONLY. I follow people I would like to interact with, as well as to make a point to keep my dash clean. If I follow you - please know it means I want to write!

This blog is also MULTIVERSE, MULTISHIP, CROSSOVER, OC, AU, and DUPLICATE friendly. I rarely do EXCLUSIVES or MAINS - unless my partner requests it. If that is the case, all relations will be listed here!

𝐈𝐈. My activity can be sporadic at times, as this is a HOBBY and I refuse to force myself to write. Additionally, I run a number of other blogs on top of this one. However, given tumblr's penchant for not NOTIFYING me of things, please feel free to send me a poke of it seems like I have lost track of our thread.

I am a WORDY writer. I have a hard time doing short threads seriously, though I can make an attempt. I don't expect my partner's to match me word for word, and QUALITY over QUANTITY is always appreciated.

I DO format my posts and use icons, but do not expect the same. At this time I am able to use LTE - but if I notice my partner is using BTE I will switch to that as well!

𝐈𝐈𝐈. None of the ART on this blog is mine unless stated otherwise. Any and all graphic resources will be credited here or on my pinned post.

A few other standard pieces of business: I hate DRAMA, do not drag me into it. I won't unfollow you for reblogging CALL OUT POSTS lest they be in excess. DNI if you, as a mun, condone or write pedophilia, incest, rape, etc. Racism, homophobia/biphobia, transphobia, ableism, etc by MUNS will not be tolerated here as well.

𝐈𝐕. I absolutely love SHIPPING. Not only is it an excellent character development tool, but it s a great way to familiarize yourself with certain aspects of your muse. I am a HUGE shipper at heart and will ship about anything - from TOXIC, ROMANTIC, to PLATONIC. Obviously this does not apply to minor muses/minor muns or incest ships. No thanks.

I prefer to develop a bit of a repertoire with a mun before diving HEAD LONG into a ship so please feel free to slide into my DMs with any ideas or shipping suggestions you may have! Or even just to say hello. Seriously, I probably can find away to ship it.

𝐕. AN IMPORTANT NOTE: My portrayal of Ayato is DARK. He is not wholesome, nor is he particularly gentle. Much of what he puts on is a facade, and I will not be dulling down my interpretation of the character for the sake of ships, etc. Additionally, this particular portrayal and any and all universes associated with it mean that this blog can be prone to DARKER THEMES and NSFW content. If you do not like this, I suggest you do not follow.

I cannot reiterate this enough: NSFW may be highly present on this blog. If you are a minor or if your muse is a minor PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW OR INTERACT. NSFW includes, but is not limited to: smut, violence, gore, drug use - etc. I will always make an attempt to tag triggers and place sexual content under a read more.

𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐘 - my discord/UID is always available to mutuals on request. Please never be afraid to approach me!

A Supernaturally Marvelous Fic Challenge

Calling all Supernatural and Marvel fanfic writers!

I don’t know about y’all, but writer’s block and lack of motivation have hit me harder than ever this year. It’s no secret that 2020 has been a giant crap show for a lot of people, but our precious fics and fandoms can be such a great escape from it all. In an attempt to spread some inspiration and feel good vibes, I wanted to make my follower celebration something that might help both writers and readers.

Below you’ll find all sorts of prompts (dialogue, songs, AUs, etc.) because you never know what might inspire you. Since we’ve all had a tough year, there’s a catch! You’ve got to give it a happy ending.

Make it fun. Make it sassy. Make it steamy. But for the love of ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY please wrap it up nicely with good things and a “fluffy” bow. Cool? Cool.

Now, on to the rest:

This is my follower celebration for both blogs, so please consider following @carryonmywaywardcaptain, @carryoncaptainrogers, or both!

As you may have guessed from the title, prompts can be written for Supernatural or Marvel (extra love and virtual hugs if you choose to write about Dean Winchester or Steve Rogers because they are the loves of my life. But there’s still plenty of love for the rest of the Avengers & TFW!)

Angst, smut, crack, and fluff are all welcome, but remember to give it a fluffy/positive ending and tag the warnings accordingly (Please steer clear of smut if you’re under 18. Stay young and innocent, babes.)

No limit to how many people sign up for each prompt. Feel free to combine prompts or even combine fandoms in a crossover! Whatever gets your creative juices flowing.

Send an ask with the prompt you want to do and the pairing you’re planning to write (life gets busy, so I’ll do a reminder post before the deadline if it’s helpful for you!). Reader inserts or OCs are both fine.

Tag me in the A/N and use the hashtag #supernaturally marvelous fic challenge by December 20th January 31st. If you’re garbage at deadlines like me, I’m super flexible and won’t hold it against you if you get it done later! I’ll reblog SPN fics on this blog and Marvel pairings over on @carryoncaptainrogers so your fics are seen by the fans who need them most :)

Got another idea you want to write and/or read about? Shoot me an ask and maybe I can add it to the mix!

Make sure to check back once in a while in case more prompts are suggested and added! Without further ado (oof, this is long!):

Some song ideas:

“Boss’s Daughter”- Pop Evil

“Night Moves”- Bob Seger

“It’s Been a Long, Long Time”- Harry James

“I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)”- yes, from Hercules

“Hold You in My Arms”- Ray Lamontagne

“Better Man”- James Morrison

“Perfect for Me”- Justin Timberlake

“When We Were Young”- Adele

“Holding Out For a Hero”- Ella Mae Bowen’s version

“Come Around”- Papa Roach

“From Eden”- Hozier

“To the Man Who Let Her Go”- Tyler Shaw

“What If I Stay”- Chris Young

“Drift Off to Dream”- Travis Tritt

“Take Your Time”- Sam Hunt

“T-Shirt”- Thomas Rhett

“Not Strong Enough”- Apocalyptica, Brent Smith

“What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”- Lee Ann Womack

“Right Where You Want Me” or “Better With You”- Jesse McCartney (because I love them both and just couldn’t choose lol)

Feel free to suggest songs from the shows/movies! I know the above are random. I tried to have some variety.

AUs, Tropes, etc.:

*gasp* And there was only one bed… (Bed sharing)

Confessing FEELINGS (or “everyone conspiring to make them confess their feelings already”)

Neighbors

At a concert

Fake relationship for some event/case

Royal/Medieval

Soulmates

A/B/O

Friends/Enemies/Strangers to lovers

Comforting the other person

Dialogue prompts:

“I didn’t mean to turn you on.” “Well, it’s a little late for that!”

"Stop telling me you’re okay.”

“Can you please come and get me?”

“Sometimes you can be a real dumbass, you know that?”

“Because I care about you!”

“I’m right here. I’ve got you.”

“Who did this to you?”

“Well...what if I go with you?”

“Give me a chance to change your mind.”

“Plot twist!” “Screaming ‘plot twist’ doesn’t make this suck any less.”

“What did I say?” “You told me to stay out of trouble.” “And what did you do?” “The opposite of that, obviously.”

“You can do so much better than him. I wish there was some way I could make you believe that.”

“Not enough? You’re...everything.”

“Well this was fun... Let’s never do it again.”

“I need you to do something for me. You owe me a no-questions-asked.”

“Don’t look at me like that! You know what it does to me.”

“Wait! Just...take me instead.”

“You can’t keep it all inside, you know? Bottling it up won’t do any good.”

“I can’t stay away from you. I’m tired of trying.”

“Have you seen you? You’re like a damn dreamboat.”

Random things my kiddos at school have said:

“Hey Mrs. America! Mrs. Captain America.”

“You know what your problem is? DAT attitude.”

“How did it taste?” “Like disappointment.”

“Do we got a fucking problem?”

“When am I not wearing my sassy pants?”

“Words are hard.”

“I’ve been screaming internally my entire life.”

“Can I jump over the fence?” “No, but thank you for asking.”

“That’s not very cash money of you.” “...I don’t know what that means.” “That’s okay. I just felt like saying it.”

“What do you call a blind dinosaur?” “Dead.” [P.S. the answer is Do-you-think-he-saw-rus]

Shenanigan ideas:

Karaoke night at a bar

Thanksgiving dinner

Christmas lights

Slow dancing

Prank War

Ice skating

Mistletoe

Ugly sweater party

Gift exchange

Creating/sharing holiday traditions

Please reblog or tag your favs who might be looking for a little extra inspiration!

tapestry 👑 XVI

Warnings: eventual dark elements (tags to be added as fic continues)

This is dark!(king)Steve and explicit. 18+ only.

Summary: King Steven had a wandering eye but you never thought it would fall upon you.

This Chapter: The trial begins.

Note: Hey, it’s ya girl, the disaster. I managed to get this done and so we’re still going hot. We’ll see how close we get to christmas before I just pass out from being insane. 💋 😉 Anyways, with each chapter we’ll get closer to the big hubba hubba but for now, control yourselves ho.

<3 Let me know what you think with a like or reblog or reply! Love ya!

masterlist

Eleanor was imprisoned for a month before the cardinals arrived. The trial was further delayed by the king of Asgard; Thor was Eleanor's brother and in his stead he sent their other brother. Thus, the trial was delayed by the arrival of Prince Loki.

While the king openly welcomed a standard of the queen's homeland, he seethed behind closed doors. His temper was easily pricked as his impatience wound tight. He only realised after Eleanor's arrest that the matter was far from resolved. You found yourself soothing him with gentle words and dulcet tones. Until you could not.

He was taxed further as the presence of the cardinals kept him from you. His council advised that it would be unseemly to keep company with another lady as his wife, or alleged wife, sat accused. Steven agreed reluctantly but it did not prevent his love letters or gifts from finding their way into your chambers.

The castle was as restless as its king. The ladies had no queen to attend and the lords were completely enthralled by the royal conflict. None could escape it. Though you tried to distract yourself with your needle or a book from your shelf, you could not concentrate long enough to forget. Long enough that you didn’t think of your part in this catastrophe.

Having paced the expanse of your chamber several times, Marge suggested you take to the corridors instead. While the walls were less suffocating, you still found the wraiths of the castle followed you around. The queen’s rooms were empty and so you avoided that wing; the feast hall was vacant and void of gaiety. The walls were drab with as the last of the winter sun shone in through the tall windows. You wondered if spring would ever come.

You found the cushioned bench by the window and sat. The guard stood at your back. You’d grown used to the sentinels; the subtle clink of mail and their iron grips upon their pommels. The trees dripped outside and the ground shone with melting snow and shrinking ice. The roads would be passable enough to permit your mother; the prospect of her return was your only comfort.

A loud grind overtook the stillness of the dreary March day. You looked to the walls, the gate just within view of your perch. The chains loudly wrapped around the gears as the links were wound to open the doors. You stood and leaned against the glass as you peered around at the entrance.

A dark carriage jostled through, drawn by two great stallions and followed by a dozen more mounted by armoured men. A golden flag flew from the top of the carriage and the men held matching banners. You blinked and looked to Marge; the Asgardians had finally arrived.

Your heart raced as you turned your back to the window. Perhaps if you willed him away, the prince would go. A glimmer within hoped he could save his sister as you replayed your last meeting with her over in your head. Though you questioned her veracity, she seemed honest; too desperate to be deceptive. And as you thought of it more, you realized she had been as close to begging as she’d ever come. As she ever could as a woman of royal blood.

But you didn’t wish too hard.

Some days, you dreamt of an escape, other days, you were complacent. One minute, you felt as if you’d brought it all down upon yourself and the next you felt entirely helpless. You knew the king’s hand moved the pieces and yet you thought to move upon your own squares. In the end, there was his will and nothing else. As you could not deny the prince’s arrival, you could not deny that.

You sighed and looked to Marge. You nodded down the corridor. You’d return to your chamber and hide. You tried being brave, cowardice would do you better. You could not stand the knot that tied around your heart as you thought of how futile your efforts had been. Your want to elude the king, to appease the queen, to live a peaceful life. It had all been for not as the queen would meet with a cruel fate, and you would too. As you all would by the hand of the king.

👑

You were to attend the queen’s trial. As your father sat on the council, you were allotted a seat in the gallery. The council itself would be among the first row, the cardinals in their box, and the two kings and singular prince within their own. It was to be a spectacle; the downfall of a queen, though it would be argued she never truly was.

You awaited your entrance with the other ladies. Marion and Beatrice were the only other unwed ladies warranted to sit in the audience upon their own kinship to council members. There were several married ladies who would share your bench. They were somber but not quiet. They whispered; both anxious and eager for the outcome.

The councilmen had passed through the doors not long before. You watched the men shuffle in with leather bound ledgers and pens in hand. Your stomach twisted and you pondered a retreat to your chambers. You weren’t needed here; your father merely requested your presence to remind the court of his standing. To remind him that one day, his daughter might just be queen.

The doors opened again but only a single lord appeared. His blue eyes caught yours and he smiled as he approached you. Lord Barnes’ hair was bound low behind his head and he wore a plain navy overcoat without ornament. He bowed as he stopped before you and the other ladies glanced over curiously. You returned the courtesy.

“My lady,” He stood. “I did not expect you.”

“Neither did I, my lord,” You returned. “But my father did think it pertinent I attend and his majesty did agree.”

“Oh, he would,” He smirked and shook his head, “Though you do look as if you do not.”

“Why should I be here?” You glanced at the others and stepped away from them. Barnes followed and leaned in slightly to listen as you spoke. “You think I do not realize what they think? They did not expect me either and that I do show my face assures them of their suspicions.”

“This trial has yet to begin,” He said coolly. “As it may prove the queen innocent or otherwise, it will surely do the same for you.”

“And what should happen if the court rules against the queen? What should her brother do?”

“Prince Loki? He rules a small duchy no one’s ever heard of.” He scoffed. “I swear, the man’s only come out of boredom.”

“Not that brother, the one who sent him,” You frowned. “It astounds me he should let his sister be humiliated this far.”

“Should his apathy surprise you?” Barnes breathed derisively. “For the last two years, he has not lifted a pen to paper to write to her, though she would do so often. He has distanced himself from her since the death of their father; since she did disregard his commands that she return for the funeral. And then shortly thereafter, the same upon their mother’s death.”

“And he should forsake her on that?”

“He does not forsake her, but has sent a letter which does concede to the will of the cardinals in this matter.” He explained. “The queen has proven herself adverse to kings, though in some ways, I cannot blame her.”

“And you think this letter will keep the king from war in his sister’s name?” You challenged.

“I think the marriage between Steven and Eleanor did compromise a hard-fought alliance between Wakanda and Asgard. I think the sons of the hateful old kings should seek to do better. I think Eleanor has sown discord between all three nations in her behaviour and has wrought resent from all three crowns.” He spoke quietly so that his voice did not rise above the chatter of the ladies. “I do think, despite her best efforts, she has signed the warrant herself.”

“Is that what you think, or what he thinks?” You looked him in the eye. He smirked.

“May I offer you some advice, lady?” He tilted his head coyly.

“You may though I may not accept it.” You replied.

“Take this as an opportunity to learn what you should not do.” His face turned stern. “Learn from Eleanor and all her mistakes. Do not let yourself fall into the same trap one day.”

Your eyes rounded as you stared at him. Your breath caught. His eyes clung to you; intent and unyielding.

“And you think I should fall into that same trap?” You asked.

“I should hate to see it, is all,” He said. “The king’s crown has weighed heavy on him for many years and it does affect his posture; his very spirit.”

You nodded and lowered your eyes. You tried to gather your thoughts; to reign in the fears which had overcome you for so long. Those which you found harder and harder to outrun.

“Did you know?”

“Did I know what?” He squinted.

“That he did offer to marry us?” You wondered.

“He offers a lot,” He chuckled. “And I did know. I think, perhaps, it might have saved us all trouble. Well, everyone but me.”

“And you know what he would’ve expected?”

“I did.” He didn’t flinch.

You shook your head at him. Never without his wit. “Then perhaps it might have been worth it.” You said. “If it did keep us from all this.”

He considered you a moment and pushed his shoulders back. “Let’s not linger on the past and what will never be.” He chided. “I did emerge for some reason though how easily I am distracted.” He bowed his head stiffly. “My lady, I must be upon my way. They do await my return.”

👑

The chambers did not quiet for a while. The audience chattered as the the five cardinals sat in their box. The sun shone in through the round stained-glass window and beamed a kaleidoscope onto the floor between the jury and the bench. You sat among the ladies and waited quietly. To you, it was a deathly lull.

When at last, the doors groaned again and were pulled open, the three royals entered as the crowd fell into silence. King Steve wore a plain grey overcoat with a single medal around his neck; the most modest you’d seen him. King T’Challa wore his tradition black and gold attire, with a sash across his overcoat as Prince Loki sported a dark green coat with snakes sewn upon the chest. They approached their box and sat to face the audience, the cardinals to their left.

The air was so still you thought you would faint. You gulped and swore all could hear the constricting of your throat. You looked along the line of cardinals in holy white and it felt as if you were to be judged. You tore your eyes away only to meet those of another.

King Steve’s lips twitched as his gaze lingered on you before moving on. He hadn’t visited you in over a month. It wasn’t his disinterest that kept him though, only his ultimate goal. A goal which, you realized, was closer than ever. You lowered your head and waited. Waited. Waited. You were tired of waiting even for something you never wanted.

There was a swish of fabric and you raised your eyes, though you kept your chin down. The cardinal who sat at the centre of the party stood, his hair as white as his robes. His knobby knuckles clutched together before his rounding stomach and he inhaled deeply before his gravelly voice rose.

“On behalf of the See, in the name of our lord, and upon the sovereignty of these three kingdoms, we do call the accused, Eleanor of Asgard.” The elder’s dull eyes floated over the crowd. “Please, stand for the accused to hear her charges.”

All rose, cardinals, kings, lords, and ladies, and all seem to hold their breaths. You slowly lifted your head as you heard the small door to the right of the kings’ box open. The familiar metallic sound of mail and iron trickled in and the queen appeared with a guard at her side and two at her rear.

She was pale and her gown hung from her slender shoulders. She stood stoic in white; the colour of the church; of sacredness; of forgiveness. She held her head high as she walked forward to stand at the podium between the kings and cardinals. Though she still held herself as the queen she was, there was frailty to her you’d never seen before.

“Eleanor of Asgard, you stand here, by the power of these kings; Steven and T’Challa, and by that of King Thor, your brother, represented by his ambassador, Prince Loki,” The cardinal’s voice grew more laboured with each word as he recited them. “To stand trial in the eyes of the Holy See and our lord, for the charges of adultery and treason.”

The queen didn’t wince. Though you could not see her face, her shoulders did not slump and her figure did not waver. She looked straight ahead and listened. You’d never seen anyone so graceful; so brave. You could never be that.

“Adultery in that you did falsely accept a betrothal whilst already bound by another and lay with a man not legally your husband. That you did attempt to unjustly break a contract previously formed upon the creation of a new and unsanctified one. And treason upon the offense that you did attempt to kill King Steven, your false husband who you did deceive, by way of poison.”

You found it hard to stand. Your legs were weak and you felt as if you would shrivel up. You looked to Steven as he tried to withhold a smile. He was proud; smug; content even. To watch this woman who he had known for more than ten years face what could be her death. You wondered if one day he should look at you in the same manner in the same circumstance.

“How do you plea?” The cardinal asked.

Your attention strayed to the dark-haired prince. He was stark contrast to his sister, though their eyes were the same emeralds beads. His face was placid as he watched his sister; bored even. He gave a slight nod before she spoke.

“Not guilty,” She declared. Prince’s Loki’s face drained of colour.

The cardinal paused as the clerk scribbled upon parchment. He bowed his white head and and spread his arms. “We have read the charges, we recognize the accused’s plea, and we shall commence this trial forthwith.”

The cardinal sat and you let your breath out. Eleanor still didn’t move. She didn’t even turn to watch as Lord Ellis stood and approached the podium across from hers. He placed his papers before him, another podium stood six feet from the queen; empty.

“We will call the first witness,” Ellis began. “King T’Challa of Wakanda, we do call upon you to testify.”

“And I do accept,” T’Challa stood and stepped down from the box.

He crossed the chamber and as he passed the queen, she finally flinched. Her hand reached to the rail around her and she stood so that her neck looked even longer. The king stepped up to the other podium.

“We do question you, your highness, upon the expectation that you do tell the truth, entirely and without censor before these cardinals and before our lord in this court of the See.”

“I swear to the See, to answer your question truthfully and without hesitation,” T’Challa responded.

“Your highness, you were betrothed to Eleanor of Asgard?” Ellis asked.

“I was.” T’Challa confirmed. “When I was fifteen, her father signed the contract with mine and I was sent to live in Asgard until we were to be wed.”

“And when did this contract end?”

“End?” T’Challa echoed. “It did not for we did not wed and it was never formally dissolved. I remained in Asgard for five years and did return to Wakanda upon my father’s request. I was to prepare for my succession and my marriage.”

“You did not see your departure as the end of your contract?”

“The contract stood. Before I left, Eleanor did speak to me of how she longed to be my wife. And upon this contract and the recognition that it did not end, for her marriage to King Steven was fallacious and illegal, I did not marry for this past decade or more. I could not for I was still bound to her.”

“You left for war against my people,” Eleanor growled.

“My lady, it is not your turn to speak,” Lord Ellis corrected her. The lack of her title startled the court and sent up a wave of whispers.

“I am a queen, I shall speak when I wish--”

“Do restrain yourself,” The cardinal at the end of the line intoned. “This is a court of law, not one of your ladies’ circles.”

Eleanor looked to the cardinals but said nothing further. She stared forward again as Ellis cleared his throat. “Do continue, your highness.”

“I have brought with me several petitions I did submit; two to a See within my own country and another to the Holy See itself. I did request that my marriage contract be reviewed and annulled so that I may find a wife and queen to lead my people. The first two were referred to the higher court, and the third has not yet been heard and so I do hope that this will be my absolution. My freedom.”

You nearly jumped as you felt a hand on yours. You looked over at Marion as she placed her hand over yours. She held your eyes and her face reflected her fear. This foretold not only the precariousness of the queen herself, but of every woman at court. You turned back to the queen, lit in the rainbow cast through the stained-glass. A red streak bled around her shoulders.

“That this matter was never truly settled has been an oversight most grave,” T’Challa continued. “I ask today that it be resolved for my own sake and that of this other king whom I believe Eleanor deceived knowingly. Of two marriages that can never be such, for she did violate those contracts.”

Ellis nodded as he shuffled through his paper. He thought, or pretended to, and looked back to the king.

“What makes you so convinced of the authenticity of this original contract?” Ellis prodded.

“Because, though it shames me to admit it, I did lay with Eleanor.” T’Challa lowered his head shamefully. “And when I did, she called herself my wife and I her husband. And in the ancient right of not only my country, but of this and many under the reach of the See, this is as true as any contract.”

At once, the whispers rose to full blown gasps and titters. The cardinals looked to each other annoyed and the eldest raised his hand. The court quieted slowly and looked to the holy men as they scowled. Eleanor roiled silently as she refused to acknowledge the king at his podium.

“And can you offer proof for this claim, your highness?” Ellis asked.

“Only my word,” T’Challa said staunchly. “Though it may be that others can testify to her unchasteness.”

“Thank you, your highness,” Ellis smiled and flipped once more through your papers. “If you have nothing else, you may step down.”

“Lies, lies, lies,” The chant slowly grew louder and the queen gripped the rails of her podium. “They tell you lies!”

“Do restrain yourself,” A dark-haired cardinal snapped. “You will have your turn to speak. You may save your vitriol until then.”

You squeezed Marion’s hand as the queen pushed herself straight and kept her eyes averted as the Wakandan king climbed down from the stand. You shuddered as you looked around, heads turned in disbelief. A pair of eyes caught your own. Lord Barnes held your gaze for a moment before he righted himself. His words swirled among the whispers that rose around you.

‘Do not let yourself fall into the same trap one day.’
