Dad!Luke Patterson

no one asked for this but @willexx and I wanted angst but said “no! dad Luke vibes only” so we accidentally invented Emily Rose Patterson and here are the head canons that no one asked for but you’re getting anyway bc she’s wrapped around both of our fingers so:

Luke and Julie name their daughter after their mothers respectfully bc they would

they don’t just call her Emily they call her “Emily Rose”

before she’s born, Luke writes her a song

little Emily Rose used to sit on her dad’s knees while he plays her his guitar and sings

She loved music when she was little, but bc her parents are so incredibly talented she never felt like she could live up to their expectations and legacy so she grew up to hate music

Emily Rose is a skater bc she always felt like an outsider and bonded with Uncle Willie through that

This frustrates Luke IMMENSELY

he’s venting to Julie one night when they’re getting ready for bed

“how is she my daughter? HOW IS SHE MY DAUGHTER AND NOT LOVE MUSIC?"

Emily Rose overhears him and she ends up running away that night bc she just can't take his disappointment but Luke isn't disappointed he just really is genuinely confused

She runs away to the skatepark and when she introduces herself to new people, she says her name is Rose Molina because no, she’s not Luke’s daughter

She’s also MEGA talented like her mom so all Luke wants for her is to recognize that she’s a WRECKING BALL and to step into her greatness

he immediately knows she ran away when he goes to check on her and she’s not there

"i lost her, jules. i did this. and i can't even blame her because i did the EXACT same thing when i was her age. i was so scared of becoming my parents, that this is exactly what i did." and he doesn't even realize how many "i's" are in that sentence

Luke’s relationship with Julie is strained but she’s there to guide him through this

She’s the only one that can remind him of his own mother and how that made him feel and understands where he is coming from

she doesn’t support it, not at all, this is their daughter they’re talking about, but she knows how one track minded Luke can be when it comes to music; it’s how he’s wired

He goes to the studio to blow off steam and Julie is there to play with him but she helps him realize that he needs another form of communication

bc he just doesn't know how to communicate things with emily rose bc he's always communicated through music

and tho julie blows off the steam while playing music with him she also helps him realize that that's where the issue lies. he needs to learn a different way of communication---it's gonna be hard but it's for their daughter

he takes baby steps too like literally just asking her how her day was

when he finds Emily Rose at the skatepark they sit on top of the ramp and have the heart to heart

he's like "but you gotta be patient with me, ok? im gonna be asking the stupidest questions i literally don't know how to communicate unless it's through music, but i'm going to try, ok? i'm gonna try because i love you so much and you and your mom are the most important things in my life--"

she cuts him off "i thought it was music?" with a smirk and luke rolls his eyes "ok second important," and emily rose is like and he's like "im kidding im kidding really i am it's you and your mom. that's it, music is second. always"

she has a skatboarding tournament a few days later and invites luke to it (which he goes to) and he's SUPER impressed bc she actually is really talented

and he goes to some random dude "that's my daughter!!!!!!!"

he ends up booking a gig for the next tournament and she's super upset bc once again her dad is going to outshine her

but she learns to convey that disappointment and she tells him and he’s like "ok--i'll cancel the gig. i'll still be there, but just as your dad,"

Emily Rose goes to his next gig, which she never does, but bc it’s about the compromise

and now she's the one that's like "damn maybe my dad IS cool"

some girls are like "ISNT HE SO HOT" during the show and emily rose is like "idk he kind of looks like a dad to me"

she hates music sure but she loves getting to stand on top of the amps when her dad does a guitar solo bc "wow so this is what it's like to be tall"

one day julie can't perform bc she's sick and they have a really important gig and luke is HEARTBROKEN so emily rose takes the lead spot since her dad has been so supportive recently

Luke cries

Emily Rose, Reggie, and Alex are always there to tease him so bad

"god luke, really??? why are you such a family man now?? it was bad enough when you just had one girl wrapped around your finger, but now you have two???"

TL;DR Emily Rose Patterson is not just wrapped around Luke’s finger, but also me and Chloe’s finger salkdjfhajshfljakfs

Irish Servants: “There are so many famous heroes here from ages past. Of course, I already know the tales by heart but I wonder if there would be any differences in the first-hand accounts…”

Diarmuid: “Diarmuid! It’s been too long since I’ve seen your face! Master, this is the only person in the world who is smarter than my father.

They say you hardly ever visit anymore and – hey, where are you going?!”

Fionn: “Ahh… It’s good to see him in his prime like this. He seems to be very at ease here. Seeing that he’s able to smile and relax like this… honestly, he looks just as Mother always described him. Ah, wait a moment. Please don’t ever tell him I said that.”

Victory 2: “You know, I think I could make a song about this victory. Someone give me a tune! Hey… wait a minute… why are you all walking away?”

Bond 1: “You know, Master, I spent a long time out of human society. So, I need you to tell me to my face if I ever say something strange. Seriously. I’m not joking. I really don’t know what people talk about these days. I’m counting on your guidance.”

Profile 1: Oisin, the son of the legendary hero Fionn MacCumhail. Because his father had already eaten the Fish of All Knowledge, he was gifted from birth with wisdom and a quick wit. His name literally means "little deer" or "fawn."

Bond 2: “What was it like, growing up with such a famous father? Well, that’s a difficult question. Father has always been good to me. I’ve always felt that the Fianna were my family. Even the most loving and tight knit families sometimes fight… and even so… hm. I wonder… …Um, sorry. [slightly nervous laugh] What was I saying again?”

Profile 2: The story of Oisin's birth is a tragedy. His mother, Sadhbh, was Fionn's second wife. Though they were madly in love, his mother had another suitor, who was a cruel and wicked mage. One day, when Fionn was out hunting, the mage lured the pregnant Sadhbh out of their home by impersonating her husband, and transformed her into a deer before loosing her in the forest.

When Fionn returned to their home and found it empty, he immediately marshaled his knights and began to search for them, leaving no stone under-turned.

Eventually, the toddler Oisin was recovered - but his mother was never seen again.

Bond 3: “Yes, yes. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Every man says that about his wife, but in my case, it’s actually true! She’s a wonderful, wonderful woman, and her family always treated me so kindly. I simply lost track of time, that’s all. Yes, I always meant to go back and visit, but the opportunity always… Eh? I trailed off again? I’m not sure why I keep getting lost in thought. Anyway, let’s talk about something else.”

Profile 3: Fionn was never the same after Sadhbh's disappearance. Plunged into a deep mourning, it was said that his entire personality shifted, until he was nearly a shadow of his former, magnanimous self. It was Oisin who volunteered to seek a new bride for his father, perhaps desperate to see his father smile again. It was these events that eventually lead to the Pursuit, another tale that is narrated in the Fenian Cycle.

Bond 4: “Was it hard? Yes, I suppose it was. All the places that I had loved, and all the people I had loved were gone. Even my own father. Even my first son. And then, I was even stupid enough to fall off my horse. Hah. Sorry, Master, I’ll go now. No, no. It’s alright. It’s just that I would never want you to see me like that. That’s all.”

Profile 4: Like the other Knights of Fianna, Oisin lived a long life full of adventures too numerous to recount in full. He married a fairy woman and went to live in Tir na Nog, the land of eternal youth. Eventually, he decided to return to the mortal world to visit his family. His wife gifted him a magical horse, and told him that he would not be able to dismount, or the blessings of eternal youth that he had been granted would disappear.

When Oisin emerged from the Land of Youth, he discovered that 300 years had passed, and the Fianna had all but completely disappeared.

Bond 5: “I will make sure that they remember you. I’ll fight beside you until the end – and then, I’ll make sure that the world remembers you. Really, it’s the least that I can do. But let’s not talk about depressing things. For some reason, I’ve been wanting to write a love song lately. What do you think? ‘Too early…’ It’s never too early for beautiful music! [laughing] Really, you ought to enjoy life a little more, Master.”

Profile 5: DORD FIANNA - The War Cry to Defend Humanity. A war cry to strike fear in the hearts of humanity's enemies, a power that can wake sleeping kings.

This Noble Phantasm would not normally belong to Oisin. It is said, in Ireland, that their great hero Fionn is not dead, but slumbers beneath a mountain, surrounded by his loyal knights, and that the one who blows upon his hunting horn will rise him from his sleep. When he rises, he will resume his duties, to protect humanity.

But the stories of the Fianna exist in the modern age because, after emerging from Tir na Nog, Oisin wrote them all down. Using his talents for word and song, he told the tales of valor and heroism and adventure, the stories of his friends and family to anyone who would listen. After an accident caused him to fall from the horse that should have carried him back to his beloved wife, Oisin lay dying, feeling each of those 300 years seep back into him, even as he desperately tried to finish the story he was telling.

So in this form, the Dord Fianna is not a war cry, but more like a song.

Bonus Profile, Post Interlude: In one version of the story of Oisin, he encounters a certain saint while traveling around Ireland. The saint listens to the knight's tales, but even so, because Oisin is still a pagan and an immortal himself, he and the saint don't get along very well and part on bad terms. Even though Oisin claims that it wasn't like that, and even so, he never holds grudges, he still can't help but make a face whenever the saint's name comes up in conversation.

° ⁎ ⋆ 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒚

born in the heart of the city , rosalie was born to sung-ho and sera moon one cold decembers morning . her father is currently a plastic surgeon with his own practice while her mother is a socialite essentially and former tennis player . their careers couldn’t have been more different but they made it work , eventually marrying and giving birth to rosalie .

with her father’s practice just starting up at the time of her birth , they were somewhat average at the time , living a fairly normal life and so rosalie was never spoilt and didn’t grow up surrounded by everything she could possibly dream off . instead , it took years before the practice actually made any profits . all it took was one celebrity to be spotted leaving the place and business sky rocketed from there . the practice was full for months at a time with limited appointments and celebs willing to pay ridiculous prices to just be seen and so it was no surprise that as popularity increased so did the moon’s wealth .

the family were quick to relocate into a newer and much deserved bigger home , boasting more bedrooms than they ever needed but that didn’t matter because they’d earned their place among the rich and wealthy in new york . rosalie’s mother began to spend most of her time socialising and meeting with the high ranking neighbours and her father was continously working hard to maintain the life they were still adjusting to . as a result , rosalie was left to her own devices , free to do as she pleased and take up whatever she liked to the pass the time .

art was one of her first discoveries , realising that she enjoyed painting , liked the serenity of making something come to life and she often filled the bedrooms with her framed artwork . this quickly stopped once she hit her teen years and instead she turned to music , quickly discovering she had a voice that might actually do�� well . her mother had close contacts with producers and agents and rosalie was quickly signed up and went on to produce her own music for a while . she even went on tours , met fans and more and though she enjoyed this , she wasn’t sure if it was what she really wanted to do .

it was one afternoon alone when she had to cook for herself that she realised that was what she wanted to do . food made most people content and she wanted to do exactly that , to please people with her food and so after some convincing , her mother set her up with some critics who gave her advice she’d never forget . do whatever it takes to get your name and food out there . and so that’s exactly what she did . she’d spent hours in the kitchen , pouring her heart and soul into her food to then give it to fans and paps outside and it gave her the push she needed .

diving into her own savings , rosalie sought out her first restaurant , finding an ideal location in the heart of the city to open up rosalie’s . she took full responsibility for the development , design and promotion of the restaurant and even cooked behind the scenes on opening night . and as interest grew in the place , her time suddenly became more and more limited . she was offered a book contract and has recently signed a tv contract for her own slot on day time tv to showcase what she can really do .

currently , she still adores singing ( she’s still a part of blackpink ) and does it to please fans and she’s also juggling the running of her restaurant and starring on her own tv show . when she’s not doing that , she’s painting or just chilling at home .

° ⁎ ⋆ 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 & 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

is very soft , basically a sweetheart and will definitely let things slide unless said things concern her friends or family , then she’ll have a stern word or two to say about it .

big believer in second chances ... within reason . she’s the kinda person to see the best in everyone until they give her a reason not to .

loves people and socialising and conversations about something and nothing

is probably the kinda friend to turn up with muffins or whatever concoction she decided to bake

has two pomeranian puppies called chewie and han

° ⁎ ⋆ 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

pr relationship - maybe they’re friends , maybe they can’t stand one another but pretending to be romantically involved benefits them both . idk this could be fun

roommates - idk this could be fun , just a couple people living together , having movie nights every week and hosting pool parties . bonus she’ll cook for all her roommates too .

best friend - self explanatory . probably a ny native , someone she’s grown up with her and is probably her oldest friend . they’ve stuck by one another through thick and thin and they’re still going on strong .

ex - friends - they were friends once upon a time but something drove them apart , whether it was their new careers , opposing opinions or the fact they grew up , something pushed them apart and they’ve not made up since .

girl squad - who doesn’t love a cute lil girl squad . just them having manicures together and spa days . they’ve been on plenty of vacations together and they always have the best nights out together too .

crush - could be mutual or not , rosalies probably too oblivious to ever realise

exes - good or bad , i imagine rosalies had a couple relationships in the past . we can figure out the finer details together

other ideas - childhood friends , neighbours , highschool sweethearts , one night stand , enemies , sibling like friendship , partner in crime / ride or die , pr relationship / friendship

The Thayer House

BABA BAW BABA BAW BA BA BA BAW BA BAW BAWWWWW

that’s in my head. just had to get that out there. anyway--

I’ve been playing my legacy neighbourhood for about... 12 years now? (lmao I need help.) I say playing, I’ve been dipping in and out here and there for quite some time now without much actual consistent play, true of my game atm in general really. I’ve mainly been free building a ton, which has been getting me back into the mood to actually play a lot more, but nearly every time I peek into the main ‘hood... urgh. So many of the houses were built and/or not had an overhaul in... a long time. My tastes have changed and have been changing a LOT since I built or decorated many of these homes. And goddamn, this one was ugly. And far too big. Completely unwieldy even. The layout of the upper floor? looooool actual architectural barf.

So for three days, I worked on a new version, and I’m finally happy with it, and the Thayers got moved in :D

No, this is NOT it. This is the terrible before version (which I hope would be obvious lmao xx)

(decent pic layouts? lol er how do i shot web)

I tried keeping the vibe about the same. It’s meant to be a little rustic-y, little beach house-y (at least outside) that ended somewhat modernised or renovated by the inhabitants. Half the top floor got scrubbed off completely. There was also a ton of wasted space on the flat ‘roof’, and I was inspired by a recent tour of @lurking-lilibeth‘s Shikibu home, so I added a little ‘garden’ area up there. Fitting because the ‘founding’ spouse of this line was one of the Nature iconic hobbyists from Freetime.

I mean. LOOK AT THE STATE OF THAT. WHAT EVEN IS THAT? WHOSE HALLWAY COULD FIT LIKE. BOTH THEIR CARS AND THEN SOME IN IT? And who needs a nursery that big? And what is this, a nursery for ants Hagrid’s offspring?

And after. A lot stayed the same-ish but it’s a far more... idk, refined? Far less wasted space and there are more nods to the Sims who have lived ‘there’ in the past and defined the home and family line.

yeah. don’t even @ me. go home 20...11(?) me, ur drunk. I absolutely hated this then, I hate it now, and had tried making it work so many times but uh, I guess you can understand why I gave up completely after a while.

hee hee unfinished spare bedroom doot de doo. But, there are two master bedrooms with their own little bathrooms currently in use, and a hobby room up here. The one furnished bedroom at the front housed the three girls of gen six who are currently YAs at uni. The balcony off the hobby room will probably eventually house a telescope once people in the household start rolling the wants for one. I also did not repurchase the household cars for the same reason. It’s still not perfect or anything by any means, but I do like it. And there isn’t a ton of just... pointless room.

I didn’t even bother taking before pictures of the rear exterior because it was just a total wreck and I just wanted to bulldoze the whole fucking lot and move the family into this new place like yesterday, lmao. I’m still pretty hopeless when it comes to back yards and landscaping, but... an attempt was made? And I actually like the rear of the house itself. I could even fool myself into thinking I may have actually had a design in mind or consulted a floor plan or something, and not just lucked into that pretty, symmetrical window placement, hee hee? xx

anyway if you made it this far congratulations and thank you xxx and now, because i feel like it, i am going to blather a little bit about the actual family who live(d) here:

Yup, Thayer as in that Thayer. Meadow married Tobias, one of the 2nd gen spares from the main legacy line. This family has been through about 3 computers at this stage, so sadly this is one of the oldest and only existing pictures of them together.

Their only son, Prince, married Adriana Shaikh; who, as I mentioned, was one of the nature hobby leaders. I believe she was his first ever matchmaker drop when he became an adult, and that was all she wrote.

Of their three kids, eldest daughter Paris stayed behind to continue the Thayer line with her husband, Remington Harris, of Pleasantview Housekeeper Fame:

Their eldest daughter, Diana, has had three girls by that One Hot S4 Downtownie Guy in the Red Hoodie (in this neighbourhood, his name is Kenneth Danaher), whom she has dated for long time, but neither ever made any indications towards commitment so he remains a downtownie, and Diana is still single. He has a good relationship with his daughters though and was even present for their births.

I’m thinking I’ll maybe move him into one of my communal houses and make him playable so he doesn’t stay in ageless townie limbo and outlive his daughters :(

This was taken I think in 2015, and they’re still only in uni D: I’m not yet sure which of the three will take over the household eventually, but here are (l-r) Ella, Jojo and Maya Thayer. Jo is the eldest, and Ella and Maya are twins :D

anyway I am finally blathered out now I think, thanks again for stopping by and congrats if you made it thru all of this, omg xoxo stay safe!

Tag Game: Dig a Little Deeper

tagged by @mollyweasly - thank you steph!! 💕💕

1. do you prefer writing with a black pen or a blue pen? both

2. would you prefer to live in the country or in the city? country

3. if you could learn a new skill, what would it be? I’ve always wanted to learn to drive stick/manual

4. do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? both, and yes

5. what was your favorite book as a child? I always loved, The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle

6. do you prefer baths or showers? I love both, but I like to unwind in the tub whenever possible

7. if you could be a mythical creature, which one would you be? An elemental witch

8. paper or electronic books? paper, always, unless it’s fanfiction

9. what is your favorite item of clothing? I have a couple plaid shirts that were my grandfather’s that I love

10. do you like your name? would you like to change it? My mother chose my name and it’s spelling because it was her favorite, and I have always liked it.

11. who is a mentor to you? I have some successful psychologists/psychiatrists in my family who I really admire and would like to follow in their footsteps

12. would you like to be famous? if so, what for? I think we’ve all imagined what it would be like, I did some singing competitions and it was scary but it was also really nice to be recognized afterwards and complimented, but then again celebrities have zero privacy, so I don’t think I would be able to combat that. You have to be seriously dedicated to your craft to be willing to put up with the whole world, and I think I’m a bit too shy for all that...

13. are you a restless sleeper? When I was in camp, I had the nickname ‘sleeping beauty’ because I always slept flat on my back and never moved. That was when I had no stress in my life tho, so nowadays it’s a bit rougher sometimes.

14. do you consider yourself to be a romantic person? I like to think so, but I haven’t had anyone to express that with recently

15. which element best represents you? I can see how they all play a part for me, but I think fire might be the most appropriate

16. who do you want to be closer to? my friends, this quarantine has been hard on all of us

17. do you miss someone at the moment? my brother (oops, brothers I mean haha)

18. tell us about an early childhood memory. there was a swingset in my backyard that faced my mother’s office, and in the summer when I had off from school, I would sometimes go out there and swing for hours, waving at her and just trying to catch her attention. I also spent a lot of time “rock hunting” in the backyard, which was just me digging for pretty rocks, mostly quartz

19. what is the strangest thing you have eaten? honestly I don’t think I’ve eaten that many weird things, religion kinda gets in the way of that. I did try a raw quails egg once

20. what are you most thankful for? my family and their continuous support

21. do you like spicy food? I like some spicy foods, like Japanese and Korean, and sometimes Mexican, but I gotta be careful with those peppers

22. have you ever met someone famous? yes, i met Matthew McConaughey outside a bathroom in JFK, I met Chris Allen in Disney World, and my friends cousin is Ricky Ullman, so I saw him around a few times for family events.

23. do you keep a diary or journal? I used to have a song folder, which is the closest I ever got, and then of course there’s all my writing journals, but those are mostly stories, not strictly personal thoughts. I did try once in camp, but someone stole it, so clearly that was a bad idea, and I never tried again.

24. do you prefer to use pen or pencil? pen

25. what is your star sign? gemini

26. do you like your cereal crunchy or soggy? mostly crunchy, but I like pops to be a big soggy

27. what would you want your legacy to be? I just want to be remembered, not really sure what for at this moment...

28. do you like reading? What was the last book you read? I do love to read, I recently re-read The Call of the Wild by Jack London

29. how do you show someone you love them? Being there for them, showing my support when they’re down or if they need help. also just saying it, getting them little gifts that remind me of them

30. do you like ice in your drinks? sometimes, but never in juice or milk

31. what are you afraid of? sharks, starvation, being deserted in the middle of the ocean and being alone

32. what is your favorite scent? ooooh that’s a tough one, I like fresh scents, like rain, ocean water, the forest, and other natural and seasonal scents like herbs and spices, flowers, sandalwood, vanilla, etc.

33. do you address older people by their name or surname? Depends who they are, family I’ve been trying to keep their titles in there, like Aunt & Uncle because they told me they like that, if it’s someone at work I use their first name with them and their surnames when discussing them with outside clients.

34. if money was not a factor, how would you live your life? I would probably travel a lot, visit all the places I wanted to go and visit my family around the world, pay off all my debts, pay for medical bills...and I would buy back my family home.

35. do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? I love the idea of the ocean, but it’s big and scary and covers the majority of our planet so we can never really uncover everything that’s out there, so I prefer the safety of a landlocked pool.

36. what would you do if you found $50 in the ground? Depends on the context. If I found $50 on the ground but I know that someone has lost it, I give the money back to the person. If I don’t know whose money is that, I keep it to myself. (keeping this answer bc same- also same!)

37. have you ever seen a shooting star? did you make a wish? yes and yes

38. what is one thing you would want to teach your children? your anger does not control you and while violence might seem like a convenient answer, it is never the solution to your problems; using your words is a much smarter and efficient tactic to defeating your issues/enemies etc. And you should treat others the way you would like to be treated and always protect your family.

39. if you had to have a tattoo, what would it be and where would you get it? I’ve always liked the idea of triskelion because of the many different things it represents (plus teen wolf), and I would put it on my wrist because I’m cliche

40. what can you hear now? the air conditioning is really loud in this basement

41. where do you feel the safest? under the covers with my cat

42. what is one thing you want to overcome/conquer? I wish I was more confident and could overcome my stage fright, I get nervous talking in front of anyone and it’s just so frustrating to trip over my words so much when I know exactly what I want to say, but my mouth won’t speak the words

43. if you could travel back to any era, what would it be? I always liked the fashion of the Victorian Era, but the treatment of women was terrible, which is mostly true for most points in history, so...idk

44. what is your most used emoji? 💕 because I love these hearts, and one is just never enough

45. describe yourself using one word. tenacious

46. what do you regret the most? not being there when my father died

47. last movie you saw? I just watched Knives Out last night!

48. last tv show you watched? currently have Derry Girls s2 queued up

49. invent a word and its meaning. dude, come on, I have no idea

Welp that was a lot of questions, but it was a nice break from work 😂 Seriously no pressure, this was a long one!

( 01 / muse 2 / cis male & he/him ) contrary to what the campers might tell you, that’s not timothee chalamet. that’s kc thain! this is their 6th year working here and they’re a counselor. they’re 23, and i just found out during ice breakers they’re a sagittarius. at first they might seem pretty oblivious, but they’re actually really creative. when they have down time, you can usually catch them getting high on the roof. try to get to know them for yourself this summer!

MEET THE MUN. i expect i’ll be able to solve a lot of my problems once my baby brain falls out & my adult brain grows in

hello all, my name is pepper and i have never been on time for anything in my life skjsdkj i feel like all my intros start that way but it’s simply a fact, i cannot tell time. that said i just got off from work so !!! this time i have a bit of an excuse. but omg Anyways, i am v excited for this rp, like i’ve already said in the gc,,, your girls never been to camp so i am LIVING FOR THIS! a bit about me ~cAmP tHEMED~ kinda, i have never actually gone camping but i really wanna go glamping one time so hit me up if you’re interested, whenever i am in the wilderness bugs like to try to fly directly into my eyes and idk why although i do have a theory i was an exterminator in a past life or something and now they’re getting their revenge for the their fallen ancestors yk?? i hate marshmallows because when i was like six some girl told me that gelatin was made of horse hooves and i believed her and i have not really eaten a marshmallow since with the exception of the one time i microwaved a smore in my microwave when i was like eight? but then again when i was really young i used to think god looked like king triton so i’m a gullible hoe y’all i’ll believe anything. but okay i think that’s enough, moving on to the man of the hour, kronk child thain!

BIO. what do people do when they’re not stoned? drug tw !

kc was an accident. and honestly, he was probably a bit too aware of that way too early. to start, when kc was conceived kc’s father was married to his mother’s best friend. and well, that’s not usually the kind of thing that you do on purpose. furthermore kc was conceived in a bounce house at his half older brother’s first birthday party. again, not the kind of thing you plan. you might ask how and why kc knows this information, and that would be the third reason why kc knows with absolute surety he was an accident. because his mother has been telling him all of this frankly intimate and scarring information with absolutely no shame pretty much from the moment kc could comprehend the words coming out of her mouth, and honestly likely before that. and well, that isn’t exactly the behavior of a woman who planned to have kids is it. at least not in kc’s mind.

frankly moira thain has been treating kc like more than a pet than a son pretty much from the moment kc can remember. she didn’t treat him badly by any means. she just wasn’t really a mom. she was a weird older friend who whined until kc made her breakfast and left for days on end to go to music festivals. she was the kind of friend who teased you ruthlessly rather than offering any good advice and embarrassed you just for fun. the kind of friend who shrugged when you asked them for help with your homework and who none of your other friends (or their parents) really liked. honestly, she was kind of a bad friend if kc was honest but he doesn’t know what else to compare her to. for a long, long time his mother, as unusual as she was, was all he had. that was until kc was about seven and he didn’t even have that anymore.

when kc was seven a lot of shit went down at once. to start, his mother nearly overdosed, and that was the big thing. it was a traumatizing experience overall as that kind of thing would be for a seven year old, but kc would like to think he handled it like a champ. called the police, made sure his mother didn’t choke on her own vomit, and all that. but CPS was called and kc was promptly shipped out to live with a father had never met, which went as well as could be expected (refer to how and when kc was conceived above). kc stayed with them for all of six months, but well, all kc really had to do was breathe to completely ruin their marriage. even if kace was a bit dull at times even he understood that. so he wasn’t surprised when 'the boys trip’ his father took him on ended up just being a complicated ruse to dump him at his grandfather’s house for as long as he could get away with. considering it was near the end of the school year, it was a while.

now at that point as you can imagine kc was pretty drained emotionally. his mother was officially in rehab. his dad didn’t want him around. his stepmother and half siblings treated him like some kind of leper. and all of this happened within less than a year. that’s a lot for anyone to take let alone a seven year old. little kc was filled to the brim with a lot of emotions he didn’t know what to do with so for the most part he had shut down. barely spoke unless spoken to. very rarely smiled or expressed any sort of emotion really. his grandfather played a big part in fixing that.

grandpa thain lived in a cottage in the forest and worked for a camp not too far from his cabin. he dealt with the upkeep of the grounds during the school year as well as some handyman duties when needed. and for the most part he dragged his grandson along with him as his ‘assistant’. which mostly meant that kc pulled out the weeds his grandfather told him to or passed him the tools he asked for. just simple things like that. but to kc’s surprise he really liked it. he also really liked living with his grandfather in the middle of nowhere and being able to hear the birds in the morning or take naps in fields.

kc’s father paid for his first summer at dagwood. his half siblings came to the camp as well, in fact they had been coming longer than kc had. however, at the end of the summer, unlike his eager half siblings, kc didn’t want to leave again. dagwood had become this safe have for him of sorts, a place where he was slowly able to heal at his own pace, and he knew the moment he went back to his father’s house he would be returning to an environment he was unwanted. his grandfather made it so he didn’t have to return at all by offering to take kc in permanently.

it took some time and a lot of legal paperwork but kc’s grandfather ended up becoming his legal guardian. his grandfather home schooled him to the best of his capability during the school year, and during the summer’s kc attended camp dagwood and helped out his grandfather in whatever way he could. he continued to do so even after he turned eighteen, even going as far as to help out in between the online art school classes that he decided to take on a whim. his grandfather regretfully had to retire from dagwood, after working every day since the camps opening day. he retired with a lot of pride and kc is really proud of him honestly, and he has every plan to take his grandfather’s place once he gets promoted from counsellor. his grandfather insists that he doesn’t need to, and that he wants kc to do whatever he wants to do but kc is too stubborn and loyal to hear any of it. he’s determined to continue the legacy his grandfather is so proud of, and stay at the place that brought him so much comfort and peace, even though honestly it’s probably not the best thing for him. it’s honestly probably time for kc to move on to bigger and better things but he hasn’t realized that yet so until then, dagwood it is.

PERSONALITY. me as a hotel receptionist: *greets guests by playing hotel california but cutting it off right before they say california*

LOYAL. listen if you’re kc’s friend he would die for you and that’s just a fact. he is honestly loyal to fault. he will screw himself over for his friends because he’s dumb. theyt won’t even ask him to do it! he’ll do it anyways! he’s a fool

STUBBORN. not in an obvious way like generally kc is very flexible, go with the flow? will generally not hold an opinion in most arguments and is pretty happy to follow rather than lead. but when it comes to things that kc is passionate about?? oof. a bulldozer couldn’t move him. he’s a pain in the ass.

OBLIVIOUS. he’s a fool. kc will be the last one to know about his own damn feelings. kc will be the last one to know about anyone else’ feelings too. it could be so obvious. SO SO DAMN OBVIOUS, and yet kc??? has no idea. he’s that scene from juno where juno’s like ‘i like you’ and michael cera’s like ‘as a friend?’ jkdsdjk

CREATIVE. the only thing kc’s good at is creating things. he can make pretty much anything if he puts his mind to it. probably makes his own clothes honestly. can mend and repair yours. just as a weird brain tbh, if you ever want a different perspective on something go to kc because he’ll say something so wild sdjkdfkj

COMPASSIONATE. a kind boy tbh. wouldn’t hurt a fly. catches spiders in his hands and takes them outside. is a vegetarian. will listen to your problems any time and at least offer help even if he has no idea what to do.

LAZY. will fall asleep standing up with his eyes open. has fallen asleep on buses and ended up in different states. is terrible when it comes to getting up in the morning. eats his breakfast half asleep every day. like he’s a hard worker when it comes down to it, but if the options are playing with the campers or taking a nap in a warm patch of sun kc knows what he’s choosing... honestly kc is good with little kids but he would vastly prefer his grandfathers job, cause his gramps just worked by himself for the most part, and working with kids is so much more exhausting rip.

HEADCANNONS. you’re in her dms im daydreaming about her on public transport we are not the same.

loves all branches of art honestly, is also a big fan of music. can play the guitar, the drums and bass, all skills he mostly picked up on his own while being home schooled by his grandfather. tends to be rather humble about it but he’s actually pretty talented. will play the acoustic guitar by the campfire, is one hundred percent that guy

when doing art activity counselling kc has the energy of that one pottery guy from tiktok always. like that’s kc straight up.

has a bunch of tattoos that are mostly doodles that he made himself, sometimes doodles his friends have made too if he likes them enough. will put pretty much anything on body and tends to think of it as his canvas. wants to be that old man covered head to toe in tats by the time he’s ninety.

has been stung by wasps on fourteen different occasions over the years. literally kc has been stung every summer since he’s come here and it’s pretty much tradition at this point. like he hates it, but if too long goes by without him being stung he starts to get paranoid.

loves to climb things like trees and buildings. chills out in the branches/on top of roofs a LOT. would be the guy to fall asleep in a hammock and get a mustache drawn on his face by the campers. honestly that has probably happened.

jewish! kc’s religion wasn’t really a big part of his life when he was living with his mother but by the time he moved in with his grandfather that changed. they go to the synagogue together and everything even if it’s a bit out of the way.

might be narcoleptic honestly. is sleeping 99% of the time. if you don’t know where kc is check his bed tbh

will never tell anyone what kc stands for honestly, he thinks it’s amusing for people to guess. will answer to any version of k____ c____ you call him though. also accepts kace which is just a nickname for a pair of initials but skjsdm still he will answer to it

a hard worker even if he doesn’t look it. weirdly functional while working high? kc is one of those people who you never know is high cause he just acts as he normally does for the most part.

that said he is the most focused and like alert when drawing or painting or doing anything with his hands. takes his art incredibly seriously. has probably drawn up a mural for the camp, and literally stayed up three days and three nights to do it. very talented but doesn’t really think he’s talented enough to do anything with it? could get into art school if he tried, but he’s too loyal to ever leave his grandfather or the camp behind to do it.

very good at wood working surprisingly. this boy will make you a sexy ass chair. honestly kc is one of the those frustrating people who like you show him how to do something creative one time and he’s got it, his brain has tapped into it, he remembers. but don’t worry, give him one math problem and he completely shuts down sdkjsdjk

hates wearing shoes. will take his shoes off the moment he has the opportunity. straight up leaves his shoes places and then’ll be like ??? fuck where did i put those ???

can cook surprisingly well. makes bomb weed brownies but like just in general kace makes good food. always forgets to grocery shop until his fridge is empty though

dresses like a hippie. his general aesthetic makes it look like he was in nineties movie. wears wire rimmed glasses because they were his grandfather’s and he’s too broke to buy new frames. most hipsters see him and are like !!! cause they think he’s one of them but kc knows nothing about movies or coffee or like... anything but art really so they’re pretty quickly disappointed.

used to have hella long hair when he was younger, like he was usually picked on for looking kind of girly because of it. didn’t really care that much, or at least convinced himself he didn’t really care that much eventually. was glad when he got home schooled though cause at least then he didn’t have to deal with that anymore,

has a scar through his eyebrow from when he fell out of a tree his first summer.

has several ear piercings.

i forgot to mention, kc’s mother used to be a drug dealer before her overdose but he doesn’t really know what she does now. he doesn’t talk to her very often but he talks to his dad even less. whenever his mom contacts him it’s cause she’s gotten out of rehab and needs money. kc will usually give it to her because he’s soft.

WANTED CONNECTIONS. it takes me 3-7 business days to process my feelings

i am so tired so we’re doing this in a blob but i would love LOVE some exes from summers past, some ex flings, his first bf/gf, idk his first kiss would also be cool, someone who hates him like maybe an enemy or an old rival of some sort? an old stupid rivalry from when they were campers that they still can’t let go of now? just sayin. uh, an fwb or ewb situation maybe, another childhood friend would be cute, an opposites attract situation like i would love for kc to have a dynamic with someone who really has their shit together yk like completely different from his sleepy ass, a smoking buddy maybe! a family friend! godsibling! first love! someone who kc accidentally set on fire with a flaming marshmallow when they were thirteen! anything and everything please and thank you.

ok so this headcanon/au list is weeks of me randomly writing down stuff. (i may make a list of some more uh... nsfw headcanons later on, but idk)

also, some of these aus are very dumb and unrealistic, but whatever, so

there is no beetlebabes shipping in this at all. don’t even try. the only shipping is charles/delia (do they have an official ship name?) and adam/barbara/beetlejuice, which is beetlelands and/or goldenrat!

(some of these are very unrealistic/basically just me projecting but this is my list and i’ll Do What I Want)

also, fuck formatting, i’m too lazy

- au where higher powered demons/ghouls have wings. naturally, beetlejuice has them and he is a fucking disaster. he knocks shit over, gets them caught on everything, and will knock people over. (somehow, they’re the only thing that’s actually clean)

- au in which the netherworld had a more lasting effect on lydia, and causes her to have sort of “fainting” spells (there’s a whole long and convoluted explanation but i’m too lazy to type it out.) since this is obviously bad for multiple reasons, beej turns into a “service” dog to help her at school (the fact that he knows lydia is being bullied may have influenced his decision)

- lydia and beetlejuice share one, very very damaged brain cell between them. they’re both smart in their own ways, but the second they try and solve something together? nothing. they usually end up almost going through with a stupid scheme until someone stops them last minute

- they may not have a dog, but (big) sandy the sandworm is just as happy to play fetch

- they also have a “girls” night once a week, in which they watch crappy horror movies, paint their nails, talk shit about people, and beetlejuice gushes complains about the maitlands

- bj can actually speak quite a few languages (he’s been around quite a long time, after all) however, he chooses to hide this fact until a time where he can a) freak someone out or b) show off

- bj follows lydia to school occasionally and will either make snide comments about the other students, or tell lydia what they’re doing on their phones (lydia sometimes hears things she wishes she had never known)

- lydia and beetlejuice stay “married”, but only in a convinient way (financial aid and tax benefits ftw, beetlebabes fuck off)

- beetlejuice plays the ukulele (as shown in the musical) and you can sometimes hear him playing on the roof (if he sees anyone listening he’ll immediately stop and go pink and disappear)

- bj and lydia go to pride every year, and Fuck Shit Up in a (mostly) legal way. once the maitlands figure out how to leave the house, they accompany them and let loose and join them in their chaos. delia eventually starts coming as well. charles stays home to preserve his sanity.

- beetlejuice figures out the maitlands can leave the house so long as they have a piece of it with them, and so makes them bracelets with wood from the house. they’re both extremely happy and grateful.

- beetlejuice and miss argentina are pals, and hung out together when beej used to spend all of his time in the underworld (he still pops by to visit her occasionally, and even helped her with the backlash/work after juno died)

- au where it’s now book of mormon, and lydia and bj are paired up for a mission. chaos ensues. (don’t ask me how this one would work, because i honestly don’t know.)

- lydia has a sleepover at her house with school friends. one of them brings a ouija board. beej and the maitlands decided to have time fun with it, and lydia tries not to crack up watching them.

- delia and beetlejuice are friends (bc they lowkey have a decent amnt in common ngl) and delia will occasionally join in on beej & lyds’ schemes

- delia treats beej like a son due to him acting like lydia’s crazy and feral (yet very loving and overprotective) older brother. charles doesn’t get it, but it makes her happy so he goes along with it.

- just like beej and lyds have “girls night”, delia, barbara, and beetlejuice have something similar where they drink wine, gossip about the neighborhood moms, and watch shitty reality tv and yell at the screen. charles tried to interrupt once and got a bottle of wine thrown at him (courtesy of delia)

- beetlejuice and lydia are Trans As Fuck (lydia’s lesbian and beej is pan) the maitlands are both bi, delia is pan and charles is Straight.

- souleater au where lydia is the meister and bj is her weapon

- beetlejuice has a love of all things circus. (he’s surprisingly good at trapeze, and not-so-surprisingly good at fire eating and breathing)

- beej has a big fat crush on the maitlands, but him being the emotionally stunted demon he is, has absolutely no idea how to express this

- the maitlands suspect that bj is crushing on them, but they aren’t completely sure (they still think he’s adorable, though)

- beej loves cuddling. that’s it, that’s the headcanon. he is a very touchy person (and not just in a perverted way.) he and lydia can be seen cuddling in bed binging horror movies, and bj is known to get comfy on the couch that is definitely not big enough for both him and the maitlands. (also, beej loves being the little spoon.)

- lydia and delia share a very niche interest in astrology, and it’s probably one of the only things they have in common. (delia still loves lydia and lydia loves her too, even if she would never admit it)

- au where lydia dies in some accident, and beetlejuice pulls a bunch of strings to make her a demon. he now has to train her to use her newly gained powers. (to make her a demon, they had to be related, so he adopts her as his younger sister)

- to mash together the au above and the wing au from the top of the list, one day lydia starts growing wings and beetlejuice couldn’t be prouder.

- the maitlands have really dumb (but cute) nicknames for beetlejuice (gummyworm, teddy bear, marshmallow, etc. they occasionally call him lawrence, which makes him melt.) lydia has borderline insulting nicknames for bj (trash man, hobo, stinky bastard, etc.) and charles and delia just call him random variations of his name (mr. juice, beetleman, mr. beetle, etc. they will use his full name if he does something too chaotic, and it’s then he knows to run)

(i just lost a bunch of headcanons and aus because tumblr unexpectedly closed :( i’m gonna try my best to re-write them all. i’m also grouping all the aus together before i re-write the headcanons, so get ready lol)

- pjo au!

• lydia is a daughter of persephone, and starts attending camp at age 12 (persephone doesn’t actually have a kid with charles, she just lends her magic to lydia’s mom in order for them to have a kid, as she actively was a worshipper of persephone, and that ends up making lydia a half blood.)

• beetlejuice was a son of hectate, but died after performing wayyyy too many rituals to increase his magic, and it eventually got too much to control and the strain killed him. he keeps his powers when he dies though. (he got banished from the underworld and was tied to a living soul for as long as they lived - it was lydia, so now they Fuck Shit Up together. hades regrets his choice of punishment.)

• barbara is a daughter of harmonia

• adam is a son of hephaestus

• delia is a legacy of eros

barbara and adam are instructors at camp halfblood (barbara teaching pottery and adam teaching woodworking)

they take lydia under their wing when they notice she doesn’t really have friends, and so they eventually meet beetlejuice (he has a Big Crush on them but refuses to do anything about it. for now.)

- hunger games au time! (at this point i’m just doing aus of all of the old young adult series i used to read)

• beetlejuice and lydia were the tributes chosen from district 12 (with beetlejuice volunteering to protect lydia during the games)

• their mentor is juno, who is an asshole and is utterly useless, as she doesn’t think they have any chance

• the maitlands are a couple that live in the capitol, even if they really don’t agree with the morals and lifestyle. they are huge sponsors for bj and lyds during the games.

• beej and lyds are the last ones standing, and after all the trouble that beetlejuice has made the capitol go through during the games, they decide it isn’t worth it to try and kill them, so they both win.

• the maitlands secretly take in both of them after the games

• charles flips houses and delia is an artist, they know about the maitlands and help keep the secret

- time for the divergent au nobody asked for!

• lydia was born erudite and transferred dauntless (she could’ve stayed erudite as well)

• beetlejuice was born dauntless and stayed (he did have an aptitude for amity, but he’ll take that to the grave)

• barbara was born erudite and transferred amity

• adam was born abnegation and transferred amity

• charles was born erudite and stayed

• delia was born amity and transferred erudite (she had aptitude for candor as well)

beej is lydia’s trainer when she joins dauntless, and they become inserperable during and after training. (lydia graduates top of her class - she would’ve despite beetlejuice, but it didn’t hurt to have him)

(taking some liberties here and making it so that factions can interact with each other outside of school and mandatory events, however intermarriage and dating between factions is a no no)

the maitlands find beetlejuice doing Stupid Shit in the woods near amity. this happens a few times, with bj and lyds running away each time, until they finally catch them and they all meet.

the maitlands take lyds under their wing, but don’t know what to think about beetlejuice (they secretly adore him, but won’t be telling him that anytime soon. bj has a Humongous Crush on them, and tells them. eventually. they end up dating despite the illegality of it)

the deetzes end up finding out about the dating, and keep it secret, even though hey aren’t particularly fond of beej. yet.

- and now time for a warrior cats au. time to bring up those repressed memories :)

(ok so again, more liberties, cats can choose to join another clan when they become apprentices, and the clans interact a lot more outside of meetings and battles. also the only one i have a warrior name for is beetlejuice, because his would literally just be Beetlejuice)

• beetlejuice was born a loner and eventually joined shadow clan as an apprentice

• lydia was born thunder clan and transferred to shadow clan, and was chosen to be a medicine cat

• barbara would be river clan and stay there

• adam would be thunder clan and transfer to river clan to be with barbs

• charles and delia were both born and stayed in thunder clan

beej is lyd’s mentor for non-medicine cat stuff (as shadow clan teaches their med cats to fight, and i feel like they would get all of the same training normal apprentices did, such as hunting)

lyds and the maitlands get along and hang out a lot, and beetlejuice just kinda trails along. yet again he has a crush on them. however, he minimizes his time with them so that they don’t find reasons to dislike him (in his eyes)

- ok so we’ve done one cat au, time for a much more niche one! this one is based on the book claws, by mike and rachel grinti. (it’s a middle school level book for sure, but i picked it up sometime in elementary school and i still love it now that i’m older)

• beej as jack (although he still has magic, his magic is just super chaotic and hard to control) lyds as emma, and they go on a quest for how lydia’s mom died (something to do with the faries)

• beetlejuice only agrees to do the quest because he wants a friend, which was really the whole reason behind giving lydia the heart.

• the maitlands are part of the pride that lyds takes over. they were wary of her at first, but backed her up when she needed it. they warmed up to her quickly after that, and they take her under their wing to show her the ropes of how prides work

beej continues to hang out with lydia, but isn’t really accepted by the pride for the most part, with the maitlands being the closest to being his friends. this eventually changes, and they grow closer over time.

- small httyd au: lydia is a viking, her dad is a high ranking official, her mom killed in a dragon raid, delia still does art ig.

• the maitlands are dragons, and lydia befriends them. she later befriends another dragon, beetlejuice. she eventually teaches the villiage dragons are good and all that jazz.

- ok back to headcanons now: adam rescued injured wildlife when he was alive, and that hasn’t stopped now that he’s dead. a section of the roof is dedicated to little habitats/enclosures for injured animals, so that they can rest up and heal

- although she isn’t so good at rescuing animals like adam is, barbara still loves animals. (beetlejuice will turn into different animals so that he has an excuse to cuddle her)

- bj secretly enjoys how vanilla/naive the maitlands can be, and thinks it’s really cute

- beetlejuice is actually pretty good at cooking, and will make dinner for him and the maitlands on date night. (he also cooks comfort food for people when they’re upset)

- bj is an internet troll. that’s it that’s the headcanon.

- beetlejuice wasn’t born or anything, juno just kinda made him by accident, and that’s why she hates him so much. so, one day beetlejuice just came into existence, a full 5ft 8inches of pure chaos.

this headcanon is a bit odd for me, because it changes depending on the story/plot i’m thinking about, so i’m now reintroducing the trans headcanons so i can explain how it would work.

he presented as female for a while before saying “fuck that” and coming out. he would’ve done it sooner, but seeing as he just started existing one day, it took a bit for him to realize that not wanting to be the gender he was born as just Wasn’t Normal. idk if the netherworld has hrt, but im basing my version of it more off the cartoon, in which people have like houses and lives, i’m assuming it exists, so he got hrt surgery n shit

on the other side, when this headcanon doesn’t apply, he was about 16 when he came out, his parents said Fuck That because he was growing up pretty far in the past (idk exact time period, but trans people were a big No No) and he ended up offing himself. he ends up altering his appearance or going through hrt/surgery in the netherworld.

- in a human au, because i just thought of thi, he’d come out at age 16 still, and juno, shitty parent she is, kicks him out. the deetzes take him in, with lydia being about 14ish, and the maitlands are their tenants who become the second set of parents. (lydia is trans in human au)

- continuing the trans hc, lydia and her parents suspected when she was about 9ish, and so after having it confirmed by multiple doctors and specialists, was put on blockers until she could start hrt at 16. it’s a very happy day when she turns 16 and beetlejuice definitely doesn’t cry

- beetlejuice has a phobia of water and that’s one reason why he doesn’t shower (the maitlands eventually help him deal with it enough to be able to shower/bathe occasionally, because he still does like his trashy look)

- bj does drag. lydia and delia help him with makeup and clothing.

- beej also worked as a male stripper for a time at dante’s inferno in the netherworld. he’s amazing at pole dancing, and he can walk like a pro in heels.

- also, because heels autocorrected to heelys st first, beej owns heelys and will zoom around the house in them. lydia eventually buys a pair for herself and they Go Crazy

i think that’ll end off this list for now, as it’s gotten pretty long. there’s a good chance i’ll make another one in the future, but for now, thats all folks!

01 - just furubana things

This is not so much headcanons as it is that--much like I can't do mental math because the numbers don't remain pinned in place if they aren't literally, y'know, pinned in place with pencil on paper--I can't keep track of details and have zero concept of the passage of time without an actual timeline of events for myself.

So instead of using 20 scraps of paper I'm just dumping what I've accumulated here and calling it fic-adjacent and maybe adding in some headcanons as I go.

–

How the heck old is everybody anyway

?? - Hinata (according to my Fruits Basket timeline, she was born in March 2000, no clue how old she is now) ??? - Hibika (I have……...no clue……...I mean, since she was able to just run off to Paris at the drop of a hat, I'm assuming that means she's graduated high school??? But also she is the child of Ayame and Mine and is a Souma so like………….anything………..is possible……… I assume Hibika and Kinu are close-ish in age because they are good friends) In college - Kinu (what year though?? I'm guessing, since her plans aren't finalized, that it's still early. IDK if Michi asking her if college is fun is strictly for exposition, or implies that Kinu has just started her first year of college) 12th grade - Hajime, Michi 11th grade - Mutsuki 10th grade - Sawa, Sora, Riku 9th grade - Rio? Leo? I don't…...have my hands on volume 2 yet…….I don't know what they went with……… 8th grade - Chizuru 7th grade - Shiki (also these three are apparently all good friends and in the Go club together, I'm going to picture Akito having to have set up play-dates with Saki and Ayame when the kids were younger. I know technically Shigure could have done it since Aya is his bff but it's funnier if Akito has to) - somewhere in 9th to 7th grade are also Kou and Hajime's nameless little bro which is killing me, but idk what years ?? - Mina also ?? - Hajime's nameless and faceless little sis which is also killing me

Also! Who! Is that! With Sora in the New Year's bonus chapter of volume 1??? Is it someone we have met? Is it someone we haven't met? Is it some random person??? I don't think they particularly look like anyone listed above… (A part of me is kinda hoping…I mean, it looks kinda like Kakeru…I think it would be great if that was Kou. Michi looks like Komaki but acts like Kakeru, so if Kou acts like Michi he must look like Kakeru right??? THE POINT IS I want Kou to be at the fancy Souma New Year's because I want it to be true that Kakeru just becomes an honorary Souma attached to Yuki because it's inevitable and Akito just gives in and accepts it)

When I actually started writing down what was happening as I read…

sometime when people are bitty - the stairs incident

Day 1 of FBA - It's probably April 1st, it's the very first day of the school year and Sawa's actual first day of high school (although they've already had the entrance ceremony) - Sawa meets Mutsuki - Sawa takes her lunch outside before Amane can talk to her - Sawa meet-cutes Hajime by stepping on his face lol - Sawa doesn't get to talk to Mutuski (idk I guess he was gonna ask about her life and sneakily work around the topic about if she remembered the Souma family???) - Sawa runs over Hajime's little bro because she's so freaked out, and the little bro picks up the I.D. and gives it to Hajime, although like Hajime lives out of town and that's why he's living in the Souma house without his parents??? Because he lives too far out of town to attend that school??? So how did Sawa run over Hajime's little brother who is in middle school presumably out of town??? Did Hajime just grow up out of town and they moved back to Tokyo to inherit the dojo and Hajime was like "…….it's too far to walk to school I'm moving out" like Mutsuki did who is implied to live in town but just can't be arsed to walk that far???????

Day 2 of FBA - Sawa's second day of school - Hajime returns Sawa's I.D. on the way to school - Mutsuki appoints Sawa to the student council before she even arrives that morning - Ruriko comes in before classes start to confront Sawa about it and interrupts Amane's chance to ask Sawa out to lunch - Mutsuki is already texting Shiki - I guess the interludes might be that day??

Some time passes???

- Sawa flashes back to being introduced to the student council, and Mutsuki isn't wearing his sweater vest, so I assume this means it's a different day from Day 2, although it could be a typo

- The day that Ruriko has come to have lunch with Sawa to ~educate her~ that prompts Sawa to have the flashback, when Sawa later goes to student council we see Mutsuki in his sweater vest again so I assume this is once again a different day. That means it's been at least 4 days that Amane's been trying to ask Sawa out to lunch when Riku gets pissed about it.

The next day - Sawa is properly introduced to Riku and Sora, and then Sawa asks Amane out to lunch, yes I'm purposefully saying "asks out" every time, because I originally thought "Short black hair = Akito's child" and "I WANT TO SHIP THESE GAYS" and I want to treasure that feeling okay - Sawa punches out a cooler and meets Michi - SUKIYAKI PARTY - Sawa meets Kinu

The next day - Sawa was so happy about the sukiyaki party and her upcoming lunch date that she gets a fever and has to miss it noooo

And then after that Volume 2 jumps to early summer and I stopped keeping track

Miscellaneous stuff I wanted to keep in mind

I feel it's heavily implied that Shiki hasn't attended a family New Year's since The Knife Incident specifically. Which...really sucks for Shiki, that Akito has so strongly embraced the high road of "you can't pick your family you just have to deal, head of the family is my responsibility and I just have to deal", and even into the next generation a lot of the Souma family remains really toxic and that's the environment Shiki's growing up in. I assume Shiki's immediate household is not bad, but unfortunately it's right in the middle of a neighborhood of toxic assholes. Which is why, Mutsuki says, he wanted to get Shiki out beyond that environment and Sawa was super convenient for that among other reasons.

Hajime apparently grew up out of town, when Kyou and Tohru moved away so he could learn the dojo business from one of Kazuma's friends. This means Hajime and Mutsuki did not grow up together, which is sad, but according to Kinu they're still thick as thieves whenever they are together so that's really damn cute. The past year they've lived together is the longest visit they've ever had and like, Hajime helps out Mutsuki in the garden, Hajime--although insulting Mutsuki's lack of cooking ability--kind of implies that he does actually let Mutsuki help with the cooking when it's just them? Even when the results are probably worse than any time his little siblings tried to show Hajime they could totally help in the kitchen? Ughhhhh they're too cute.

I am presuming that both Mutsuki and Shiki live in town, and that's probably a large part of why they seem to be pretty close (closer than Shiki would like lol) despite the four-year age gap. I like to think it's also because Yuki also seemed pretty determined to Salvage Relationships, like with his mom, and so I like to presume that after the incidents of Fruits Basket Yuki informed Akito that they were going to reconnect as childhood bffs whether Akito liked it or not lol. So if Yuki and Akito are close, probably Mutsuki and Shiki are close too. And thus why Mutsuki is so concerned for Shiki's well-being and pushes really hard to set Fruits Basket Another in motion lol, like he's happy he's improving Sawa's life but his most immediate objective is Shiki's health and happiness. Like Shigure, only not an asshole and his plan is for everyone to win.

Yuki loves his son dearly and supports him so much but even so he's banned himself from Kaibara High School because he can't take Takei being so extra loooool I hope he sucks it up at least to come to graduation. Even though. Takei will--instead of talking about the graduates--okay he'll have talked a little about the graduates, namely Mutsuki--spend the entire graduation giving a speech to celebrate and congratulate and honor Yuki instead. As Yuki just sits there. Being stared at by all the other parents. With a long-dead smile on his "why is this happening to me" face. You know why this is happening, sir. But you came anyway to support your son. You are a good dad. Ganbatte. Have a drink afterward. (pray to anything you hold dear that your beloved child hasn't recorded this entire thing and sent it all the family including Akito who, surprise surprise, is also dying of secondhand embarrassment and doesn't appreciate this at all. Maybe Akito can take you drinking afterward.)

I will never be over the fact that the people closest to Yuki are all having multiple kids and there's Yuki and Machi like "ONE AND DONE." Why do they need to have another child after Mustuki? Mutsuki already has an older sibling in Michi, and possibly Hibika as well. And then Mutsuki even gets a little brother, Kou! And maybe Chizuru counts too! Like thanks for doing all the work for them of making Mutsuki not an only child. (They just…..didn't know what they'd get out of the Souma genetics grab-bag, and the idea of having to [have the housekeeper] clean up more sparkles was just…)

I'm revising my headcanon such that Hajime was the one who thought it would be cool to go to the same high school his parents did (because it's a theme, in FBA, about how it's cool to love your parents assuming they're, y'know, good parents who love you back, and thus how cute it is when kids are pleased to be like their parents), but unlike Mutsuki Hajime did not realize that as a ridiculously conventionally attractive Souma he would be a famous legacy student and if he had known this from the start he might have said "screw it" and just gone to school locally lol. Mutsuki on the other hand was fully aware of the shit he was getting into when Hajime first ventured the idea and Mutsuki embraced it. And then it all worked out perfect because it turned out Sawa would attend there too!

#sobdasha fic adjacent #fruits basket #fruits basket another #new year old fics #it was gonna be new year new fics to emulate new year new me but #i'm still trying to whittle down the stack of really old stuff soooooo

um thinkfast and.... all of them..... but mostly 1 3 13 & 20 because all of them is a lot

Willow you know me so well

This ones a long one boys

Who is the most affectionate?

I like to believe that once they have settled down into their relationship, that Tommy has learned better ways of coping besides running, so, for me it’s Tommy, he loves David with all his heart he really does, and tbh big fucking kin.

Most common argument?

I’m stuck between arguing over Tommy eating healthier (Listen as much as Tommys gotten better with cooking, if given the opportunity, he will binge on fast food like crazy, and David’s in the background like “Tommy please the SODIUM”) and David overworking himself (”Babe its 3AM, you can do the taxes later come back to bed”)

Either way it comes from a place of love and concern for the other because they are both HEAD OVER HEELS IN L O V E WITH EACH OTHER AND IM SOBBING.

Who reaches for the other’s hand first?

First time they’ve held hands period its David, but in general? I’d say its an equal amount once the relationship settles down

With David, sometimes he notices Tommy’s stressed and needs grounding or he himself needs an anchor. He probably used to have a stress ball but finds this works better and also makes him like, ten times happier

Tommy doesn’t do it when they first start dating, being afraid of showing affection and all, but like one day Tommy is just like “fuck it” and grabs onto his hand and David turns to him with the BIGGEST HEART EYES cause he LOVES HIM and Tommy starts doing it more often from there, and David never stops with the heart eyes cause hes literally gone for Tommy and would go to the moon and back for him, you know how it is.

What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

I’m not counting Mary and Frank Shepard cause fuck those losers

Christopher and Dorothy Alleyne love Tommy cause like Tommy is one of the few people that can get David to stop working himself to an early grave (other include America, Nori, and Kim), but yeah they love Tommy a lot.

Christopher seems a lot like a football playing dad from what I remember of him so I imagine one day while David and Tommy decided to visit the family Christopher just turns to Tommy and goes “Wanna go outside and play some catch, son” and Tommy is like surprised for a second, but like accepts because David and Dorothy are catching up and ✨ father son bonding time ✨.Tommy even tries not to use his powers (sometimes fails cause he has a lot of energy and that’s okay) and they end up having a lot of fun, they make it a thing to do whenever they visit

Tommy learns that David got his love for jazz from his mother when he catches her cleaning while humming a song playing on the radio, he starts to help her clean and ends up humming with her because it just so happens that David loves this song and he sometimes sings it while doing taxes like a loser. They end up just dancing in the living room and when David goes to check on them after he and his dad finish cooking and cleaning the kitchen, he ends up leaning against a wall watching them cause his life is SO PERFECT right now and he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Kim and Tommy meet and its half chaos half calm. Kim shares the dirt she has on David and David just groans the entire time but Tommy’s just laughing cause oh my god, were you really a duck for your first Halloween? David stop putting your head in your hands you look cute please I love you.

Tommy loves kids though so even though she’s like, at very least a teenager, he loves spending time with her and she thinks Tommy’s totally a blast. That can sometimes he bad because sometimes things turn out to be flammable and that’s not good. But yeah, she loves Tommy and loves bullying David about how in love David is with Tommy but David doesn’t care because he loves his little sister and he loves Tommy and likes knowing she approves of their relationship (not that he ever though his family wouldn’t, they took the mutant thing well, I don’t think their son being bi changes much for them.)

Rebecca and Jeff Kaplan don’t care cause Tommy is literally soul twins with their son, being bi isn’t more surprising than that. Additionally, I don’t think they would care about Tommy being bi if they didn’t care about Billy being gay? Either way they are real chill about it. Rebecca offers David banana muffins whenever David and Tommy come to visit the them, idk why she just likes making muffins. Jeff Kaplan kinda isn’t real to me at times so idk what hes doing, probably reading a newpaper as Rebecca and David make polite conversation like they’re at a book club of some shit. Tommy’s probably playing with the younger kids cause, once again, he loves kids. Also he might have accidentally set something on fire again, he really doesn’t mean to do it it just happens sometimes.

Wanda is really happy Tommy and David are happy together, and she loves David, but she sometimes worry's that he doesn’t like her because of everything that happened with M-Day, so after a while they have to talk about it. The thing with that is that, David will never forget that day, forget how 40 of his friends died, how he should have died, how he lost his mutation, M-Day haunts him, and it will never completely stop haunting him. But things get better, at least a little bit. David gets his memories back, he learns how to deal with his trauma, mutant kind becomes a little less endangered, and sometimes if he wakes up in the middle of the night because of nightmares, being around Tommy helps.

M-Day will always haunt David, but things get a bit better for him. He understands why Wanda was so upset, it doesn’t change what she did, but he understands, and knows shes trying to make up for it. So David basically explains that to her and they are good and can have like, a conversation since they now both have their peace. Wanda would defiantly offer to restore David’s powers, but tbh I’m not sure whether he’d accept it or not, I’m already so off track anyways so I can talk about that at a later date.

Pietro is kinda like Kim but instead he bullies Tommy about how much he loves David, its typical family teasing though, he loves his nephew and his nephews boyfriend.

I ALMOST FORGOT MAGNETO. They are super fucking chill with it cause all mutants are gay, he’s the OG gay mutant and he’s happy his children and grandchildren are carrying on Magnetos Gay Legacy™️ and that’s that, period point blank.

Billy and David are fucking chill and I’ll demolish ANYONE who says otherwise, but Billy does give David the shovel talk. Besides the shovel talk, Billy is happy for his brother and his friend and really wishes the best for them.

Teddy and David are also fucking chill and I’ll fight anyone on this fact too. Teddy kinda gives David a high five because Teddy’s a chad and that’s the only way he knows how to express emotion. But its kinda like a “Cool! So we’re kinda like brothers now!” high five and David understands his friend is just trying to be supportive.

Kate just kinda fucking, yells, she a chaotic bi that’s just how it works. She’s basically really happy for them and since Kate and Tommy gossiped to each other about their crushes back when they thought it wasn’t reciprocated (as best friends do) and she’s like really happy things worked out for the both of them.

America smirks and looks her platonic soulmate (David) and is like “You finally asked him out? Good job” and like pats him on the back because they lived with each other in college and while he doesn’t drink often, lets just say when he does drink, David is a sappy drunk gay. Internally she’s like, very much crying because, oh my god? Davids so happy and she’s so happy her friend is happy. Shes an emotional gay she just likes to pretend shes not and that’s fucking valid.

Loki just kinda, has a realization about it. About why David literally spent two weeks tracking the young avengers down, about what David meant when he said he’s into good guys. Loki’s a chaos demon so they just kinda let out an “ohhhh” and turn to Tommy and say “I would’ve made the same choice buddy.” and like, disappear. They’re happy for their friends of course but their love of starting shit wins out.

Noh just kinda shrugs, he doesn’t care of course but he also doesn’t care enough to really react, he might say something like “good job” cause hes dumb but that’s about it

Eli would come back to visit the young avengers while David and Tommy are well into their relationship, so he’d kinda just be surprised by how calm Tommy looks and he and David would get along very well, considering they are both leaders by heart. Eli starts to visit more often after that first visit, its one of the main reasons David and Tommy always have a guest room set up now.

Cassie is kinda just like “Another brother, sweet” and rolls with it. Totally loves asking Tommy for updates on their relationship because Tommy could talk forever about how much he loves David, it makes her happy knowing her brother is happy.

There are so many of the New X-Men I can’t name like all of them but I’ll get through the ones I remember. If I don’t name one of your faves just assume they approve because all the x-men are gay anyways and everyone loved David so its not like someone would like, fight him or anything.

Josh is really chill with Tommy, and he tells Tommy about all the adventures they’ve had (Tommy lowkey freaks at the time David got his heart ripped out but hes fine now! its okay don’t worry I made him a new one!). Josh and David of course need to catch up though and Tommy sometimes just watches David as they talk because he can tell David is really happy talking to his best friend.

Nori and Tommy aren’t awkward, cause fuck that shit they’re adults now and David and Nori totally talked shit out. Instead Nori and Tommy just kinda laugh at David cause like, you totally have a thing for speedsters David, don’t even pretend.

Julian and Tommy are equally chaotic so they run around doing dumb shit while Davids talking to the new students.

Santos reaction is kinda funny cause hes like, wait, YOUR IN THE YOUNG AVENGERS NOW? AND YOUR DATING ONE OF THE YOUNG AVENGERS? And David totally wasn’t there for that conversation where Santo found out about the young avengers and now Santo really wants to meet Teddy for some reason and Tommy looks to David for an explanation but he’s just as confused.

Cess, Sooraya, and Laura are in the same boat of “I’m happy your happy” since I don’t remember them being too too close to David but I know at the very least that they were friends, and they would be happy that David got someone that could get him to relax, even just for a little bit.

Sorry this took so long Willow, I got off topic a little bit but I tried my best.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

@quichekolgate its so much later but here’s the next chapter! Idk when the next one will show up, things have gone kind of south recently and I need to sort that out before I can focus on this again but I will update eventually!

Chapter Two: Dawn

The rest of the ball went with little distraction. Besides Lance and Allura’s final dance. It was fine until Lance began apologizing for their predicament. The two were about half way through a waltz before he opened his mouth. “Allura...I’m sorry that this-”

“Don’t apologize.” she stopped him coldly.

“Allura ple-”

“No, I don’t want to hear it.” She snapped.

“But it’s my fault, please let-”

“I’m glad you recognize you’re to blame, but I don’t want to hear an apology.” she glared, “ Unless of course you have some idea on how to stop this like, never being born.”

Lance felt a surge of anger grow in his chest as they danced and suddenly the graceful waltz that masked their fight turned into a struggle to lead. While it didn’t get big enough for the whole crowd to notice, Alfor did see it from across the ballroom and excused himself from speaking to some of the other royal guests to break them up.

“It is an honor to host this event,” he said evenly, “I know neither of you are happy, I am upset as well I promise. But we must keep face.” He gestured to Keith to come and twirl Lance away and began waltzing with Allura tucked close to his chest. Whispering in her ear things that had in her near tears and almost shaking if it weren’t for her father’s strong arms around her.

Keith handed Lance of to Shirogane (or Shrio as Lance found out he prefered) so that he could dance with Lotor. Lance did his best to focus on his dance with Shiro as it seemed he was strongly lacking in that particular part of social life. They ended up swaying back and forth to the rhythm with a twirl or dip every now and then to keep things interesting. Both preferring talking over the music about their lives before that night. Shiro had apparently been in the small military that the earth colony had built over the last few deca-phobs. He had saved the Prince Matt and his sister Princess Katie when they were younger, and, through that connection, became one of the favorite and arguably best soldiers on the field before a training accident took away both his position and his arm. Matt was meant to be the one given to Haggar, but Shiro insisted that he take his place. Which their father somberly, but gratefully, allowed.

Lance listened intently, something about dieing in a week tends to make people talk more about their lives. Like they’re leaving their legacy with whoever is willing to listen. Despite that, Shiro seemed to gloss over more of the story, merely giving enough to follow the line of experience that landed him in Altea. Lance didn’t make much comment beyond what Shiro had prodded him about Altea politics to distract the two from the all too chipper atmosphere from the guests around them.

“I’ve fought for my life but that doesn’t teach you how to accept defeat.” he shrugged with a small smile. Lance couldn’t relate at all, but he was more than happy to change the subject to anything else until Katie came to request a final dance.

That night, Lance fell asleep crying in Keith’s arms. That was their last moment together. Their last dance. He told Keith in detail about how Allura had taught him when they were children and she had started taking lessons. It ended up being more swaying with a couple of drops instead of dips and of course spins that went much longer than they should have to maintain grace. Keith, ever diligent, ran his fingers through his fiance’s hair until the boy's breathing evened out.

Lance woke a few times screaming and crying. Keith however, was a light sleeper so he was there every time to soothe Lance. The third time though, Lance vomited and Keith made him take some medication. After that it was almost an empty and hallowed sleep for both of them.

When Keith shook Lance awake the next morning. It was still dark outside. He helped him into the vanity to put his face mask on. A skill Keith was proud to say he mastered. Then the galran proceeded to the closet to find both of their mourning robes sagging on their hangers. By the time he laid them on the bed, Lance had woken up a bit more and was washing off the mask. He handed a brush to Keith in silence. Keith, worried about making his fiance cry again, choose not to comment on the lack of bed head jabs.

Dawn was only a varga away when they were ready to face the music. The druids where to collect the paladins and bring them to the farewell site. So Keith and Lance headed towards the main entry before Lance straightened and curved to where their nursery was lying in wait for future heirs.

Left untouched beyond the occasional dusting by the staff for maintenance, made the handle squeak and the door groan as Lance pushed it open. The toys were neatly put away ready at a moment's notice to be played with utter abandon like they had been before. Though the twin beds that once framed the large window where long gone. The peach light was soft in the small light that snuck in between the curtains. Lance spared only a glance at the room though, worried about missing his last chance to make amends with Allura drowning himself in memories of happier days. Quickly, he ran to the shelf and shoved some of the dolls around, causing a cloud of dust that had been hiding engulf his face. He gasped, “here it-” then fell into a coughing fit.

“Inhaling a cloud of dust, not your smartest move, babe. What is that?”

“Allura’s doll. It was a gift.” Lance explained quickly getting back up and rushing towards the door.

Some of the paladins were already there. Klaziap seemed almost impatient for their journey to begin while Shay, who was just arriving, still seemed rather shaky. There was a druid on either side of her, and what looked like handprints on her wrists and forearms. Allura only had one on her, but she was practically glued to their father’s shoulder. No sign of Shiro or Lotor yet.

Lance headed straight for his sister, making eye contact with his father when the man tensed. Lance held up the doll in peace and Alfor nodded and nudged Allura. Quietly, Lance handed her the doll, whispering something that made Allura tear up. Keith couldn’t really hear with how far back he had stayed. But the general message was clear when Allura brought him into a teary tight hug. Keith looked away, trying to guess when his brother would show up. It was unlike him to be anything but first where he could be.

Shiro showed up almost right before they had to leave. HIs face was pale and his eyes seemed almost dead inside. He was clutching his right arm close to him. Three, Lance noticed. But keith wa still looking for Lotor.

The Quintessence Transferal Ceremony only happened so often. Cases like Shiro, Shay and Klaziap where either voluntary or elected by the people. It was considered a great honor in those cultures as it signified some element of greatness above the rest of their people. Allura and Lotor, however, came from a monarch based government deeply rooted in tradition like the paladins of old. The first born was given unless they were an only child. Even so, Lotor had considered it a triumph to have his name forever carved in the stars. It was unsettling that he wasn’t present.

Finally, two more druid’s came and whispered in Alfor’s ear. The two spoke hurriedly, as close to panicked as anyone had ever seen them which was a rare thing considering their robes and masks hiding everything but their hands and postures. The matter was probably meant to be private but Lance heard it and loudly asked, “Missing? WHat do you mean missing?”

The small gathering of people turned their heads, a murmur drifted across the group. Alfor raised his hand to silence them. “It would appear that Lotor of Daibazaal has gone missing.”

Keith seemed to be rooted to the spot, frozen in confusion other than his mouth voicing his thoughts. “He wouldn’t just leave. He’s been waiting for this for as long as I can remember.”

“Right you are Keith,” Alfor soothed, “It would appear that he was taken, if the state of his room is as the druids have said.”

Keith was already running towards his brother’s guest chambers. Lance close on his heel with a surprised shout of his name, not that the galran prince took any mind.

Rushing through the lush halls, the two nearly slammed into the ornate door. It was almost weakly pushed open with a groan of protest, in the wrong direction leaving evidence of broken hinges. Lance glanced quickly at the handle that had been ripped off and leaving a gaping hole. Paladins weren’t supposed to lock their door after an incident during one of the first ceremonies where one refused to leave their room at all. Lotor wouldn’t have broken a rule so blaisadly.

The bedsheets were half off the bed, pillows scattered and one blown to pieces, most likely makeshift weapons. There was a dent in the side of the dresser and the balcony window was broken. Keith stood still, taking in the destruction while Lance inched forward to inspect the window for fabric scraps or blood.

“The ceremony can not be complete with three.” One of the druids supplied, slipping up behind the two boys from the shadows.

“Wait, three?” Lance asked. Maybe with Lotor gone, his father withdrew Allura…

“The Aurusian went ahead without a guide. It is unlikely that he will find his way.”

“And none of you went after him?” Lance asked unbelieving.

“Our concern is the prince of Daibazaal, the Aurusian is replaceable.”

“It looks like Lotor put up quite a fight.” Shiro noted as he entered the broken door. There were a handful of people outside the frame from the farewell but Lance could only make out his family as they followed Shiro inside to inspect the damage.

“The ceremony must be finished before Haggar comes. We don’t have time to find new paladins.” Alfor stated.

“We have a week before she comes.” Keith reasoned, “They have one night on us, if that. If we hurry we can still catch them.”

“And if you don’t?” Alfor asked.

“Then I’ll take my brother’s place.”

“Keith!” Lance gasped. He could barely handle losing Allura, in large part to his fiance’s support. He wouldn’t be able to handle losing both of them “...I’m going with you. And if we don’t find Lotor...I’m taking Allura’s place.”

He could feel his father’s eyes on his back. The weight he seemed to take off and add at the same time. Allura’s hand though was what made him turn around. “Lance, you can’t!”

But Lance just did his best to show the pain and worry in his eye, prayed that they understood. Allura was still confused when their father pulled her closer to him and turned his stare to the druid. Lance turned and squared off the cloaked figure, “Is that acceptable?”

“Indeed it is.” the druid nodded, “but without the Aursuian, one more paladin is needed.”

“I can probably track Klaizap and Lotor.” the younger earthing piped up. “He was mumbling something about footprints in the dirt, so there’s a way of finding out which way he’s going. Hell, he may think he’s already looking for Lotor. All I need is something of theirs to match an energy signature to.”

“And if your machine doesn’t work?” the druid asked.

“Wow, you’re all over making people who fail take the fall aren’t you.” the earthing mouthed off sarcastically. At the shocked and awed silence that followed her statement she added with a huff, “Fine, I’ll take his place if this fails. Geeze.”

“Katie!”

“Relax Matt.” she shot over her shoulder, “I’ll be fine.”

Matt looked ready to keep fighting but the third earthing placed a hand on his shoulder and looked to the druid for the final word.

“This arrangement is agreeable.” it nodded and turned to Keith and Lance, “You have five days to find Lotor and Klaizap and to be back here. Or else Haggar will threaten all our very lives.”

WOW DUDE, I LOVE YOUR WRITING!! You dont have to do it now or anything! Im more than happy with this resting in your inbox if requests arent open, but... How would V react to seeing Yoosung hurt? Like idk, if one of V's coworkers said something mean to the blonde boo, or someone else? And Yoosung just feels really bad. IdkaboutyoubutIreallywanttoseeanangryV I hope youre having a good time!

Aahahaha, thanks! ^^ I’m sitting here laughing because at first I was like, “What requests? *insert confused face*” So I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, because angry!V just doesn’t happen in my headcanon. Nope. V is a ball of sunshine. I guess. Maybe. Anyway, here it is, longer than I expected OTL (It takes place during the Christmas event.)

Drawing the curtain behind him, Yoosung tiredly rested hisback against the cold concrete wall and let out a sigh. He rubbed his sweatypalms over his stomach – he hated that bubbling sensation that he sometimesgot, starvation and satiation at the same time. But it had been a long week. Itwas chilly outside, his legs were tired, and he’d barely had anything to drink,and…

A tear rolled down Yoosung’s face. He quickly wiped it offwith the back of his sleeve.

“Yoosung?” Jihyuncalled from beyond the curtain.

Yoosung swallowed hard and pinched his cheeks. Smile, smile! “I’m here!” he saidmerrily. “Merry Christmas!”

Jihyun grinned. “Merry Christmas, love. Sorry I’m late, butthe traffic is terrible. I’m glad it was Driver Kim at the wheel, otherwise we’dstill be stuck there.” He closed the distance between them and kissed him onthe forehead. “It’s so cold here! Are you on a break? Let’s go and get yousomething warm.”

Yoosung shook his head. “It’s okay, I don’t think I can eatanything right now. Oh? Ah, you’re wearing the gloves? Jihyun!” he whined. “We were supposed to exchangepresents tomorrow morning, why did you open it today? It’s so unfair, now what are we going to do…?”

“I really wanted to wear them, sorry! Just as I was leavinghome this morning I thought it would be great if I could wear them, since I’dbe working on location…” Jihyun tilted his head. “Are you mad at me now?”

Yoosung looked down. “No,” he replied jadedly. “No, it’s okay.That’s why I got them, I guess. Sorry for snapping.”

With gloved fingers, Jihyun lifted his chin and gazed intohis eyes. “Yoosung?”

A frustrated sigh escaped the young man, but he bit his lipsand looked away.

“Awww, was that a pout?” Jihyun teased him. “Are you goingto start sulking? We cannot really get all lovey-dovey right now, thefundraiser’s still got a couple more hours before it’s over.” He was about tonuzzle him, but Yoosung pulled away. Jihyun’s smile faded away. “Love?”

“It’s nothing serious.”

“Just tell me.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it. Damn, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Yoosung snapped. Hecovered his eyes, his jaw clenched tightly.

Jihyun pressed his forehead against Yoosung’s and strokedhis shoulders in a comforting way. “Do tell me. It might make you feel better.”

The VIP area was at full capacity. Considering thedemand from the year before, Yoosung had prepared a plan to make the packagemore desirable, which had resulted in the tickets being sold out in recordtime. As he was passing by the area filled with glasses with warm cider andplates with exquisite delicacies that Jaehee had supplied them with, he overheard some of the people on the firstrow.

“Even if it’s an RFA event sponsored by C&R, I’m suremost of us are here for Zen, not for Jumin Han.”

“Either of them is more than fine, and it’d be especiallygood if they came together. Too bad they’re all slated to appear at the end,together with V.”

“The photographer? Tell me about it – I’ve been dying tomeet him for a year now! That’s why I got these tickets this time.”

“I know what you mean. Even if it’s a 30-secondmeet-and-greet, it could be totally worth it. He’s so handsome!”

“Ah, but nobody’s more handsome than Zen.”

“Excuse me? Have you seen Jumin Han’s back in those tightsuits? He’s the most perfect man - he and his millions.”

“They’re all perfect. This event is a blessing, truly.” Asthe woman turned around to get another glass of cider, she bumped into Yoosung,who had finally managed to get hold of some hot chocolate. “Ow!”

“I’m terribly sorry!” Yoosung bowed politely.

“You’d better be! You could have spilled that drink on me,sheesh!” The woman angrily snatched the glass of cider and turned her back onYoosung. “Can you believe that guy? He almost ruined my coat!”

“He did? Who is he?”

“That little guy? Just an employee.”

“How plain; he’s just probably lucky to be here.”

Yoosung left the mug on the table practically untouched ashe walked away, trying not to bump into anyone else.

“I know it’s stupid to feel this way,” he said softly, “butI can’t help feeling that they’re right. I mean, next to you guys, I’m still—”

“No.”

Yoosung looked up, surprised. If Jihyun’s warm hands weren’tstill touching him, he could have sworn that there was an ice statue standingbefore him. He was once again reminded that turquoises were stones, cold andhard. But that was not what the man before him had always shown him. “Jihyun…”he called gently. “It’s okay…”

“It is not okay.” He grabbed Yoosung by the back of his headand pulled him into an embrace. “You… Why is it always so easy for you toignore your own worth? Don’t listen to those people. They don’t know you. Whywould it matter?”

“It doesn’t!” Yoosung exclaimed. “I know it doesn’t matter!But I don’t know, it’s also true—”

“Yoosung!”

“But isn’t it? Everyone loves the catering Jaehee prepared.Since she left C&R, she’s made a name for herself. Zen is fully booked forthe next couple of years. Jumin is Jumin. And you…! I can’t be objective aboutyou anymore. Seven is invisible and he’s used to it, so then it’s just me beingonly me – a personal assistant who’s still in college. It’s easy to feel likeI don’t matter.”

“Oh, Yoosung,” Jihyun sighed, rocking him gently. “There’s alot I could say about you, and I will, once we get home.” A chime let them knowit was time to proceed with the introductions of the guests. “Will you stillpoint out the ladies for me when they come to greet me?”

“No way!” Yoosung said, taking a step back and grabbing hisearpiece and iPad. “I know you always have good intentions, but I didn’t tellyou about it so that you could find a solution. This is my problem,” he said,before he walked away briskly.

“May I have your attention, please?” Jihyun smiled as hegrabbed the microphone from the stand.

“What on earth…” Yoosung muttered. He turned to Jumin, whohad just arrived. “Forgive me, but Jihyun seems to have mistaken his turn to speak—”

“I allowed it,” Jumin replied. “He was visibly upset aboutwhat those ladies said about you.”

I’m going to kill him,Yoosung thought.

“Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming to the annual RFAall-charity fundraiser sponsored by C&R. My name is V, and I’m glad towelcome you, especially in this time of the year and in this weather. As westand in this tent, surrounded by the warmth of friends and family, we takemany things for granted: those who have no home to go back to when the day isdone, or those who need a helping hand or a friendly ear but cannot have it.How lucky are those of us who have someone like that?” The silence was brokenby a general murmur of consent. “We the people at RFA are especially lucky, forwe have someone who is all of that and more, and his name is Yoosung Kim.”

Oh no.

“Oh. I didn’t realize this could become somewhat embarrassing,” Jumin said, folding hisarms across the chest and noticing that Yoosung had hidden behind him.

“What’s this all about?” Zen wondered, standing by them.

“Someone spoke ill of Yoosung,” Jaehee murmured.

“Eeeh? Who would? Yoosung’s the best of all of us,” Sevensaid.

“When this organization lost direction and we questioned itscontinuity, it was Yoosung who inspired us to continue with its legacy. When wewent through hard times, he was there to support us in any way he could around the clock.” Jihyun made a pause.

“Oh, he’s angry,” Jumin said, frowning.

“Huh? Excuse me? How can you tell?” Zen asked.

“How can you not?” Jumin wondered.

“Because people express emotions with their bodies andvoices, and I see no anger there, you jerk!” Zen exclaimed.

“Must you resort to name-calling?” Jumin sighed. “I supposeit can’t be helped if you don’t see it.”

“Shush, you two!” Seven said, slapping them on the back.

“He’s our youngest member, and in spite of having tomaintain a scholarship to finish his PhD, he works full time, and hevolunteered to organize this event.” V gripped the microphone a little tighter,his voice slightly trembling. “He inspires us to become better just by being himself.We are the ones that have to keep up with him on a daily basis. And to me…”

“Oh God, I can’t hear this!” Yoosung said, covering hiseyes.

“That’s not what you’re supposed to cover if you don’t wantto hear,” Jumin noted.

“Jumin Han, you idiot!” Zen hissed. “Can’t you see he’s embarrassed?”

“To me, he’s the reason I’m standing here. It is because ofhis encouragement that today I can share my view of the world with you, and letme tell you: the world is a most wondrous place because people like Yoosung Kimlive in it.” He took a step forward and looked at the crowd defiantly. “Thereare many Jumin Hans, and many more like me, and yet, without someone like him,we could have no idea of the daily struggles people go through. It is peoplelike him that we need so that in the future, useless things like VIPclassifications will no longer matter. We must learn who is worth gold, and whois only gold-plated.”

“Okay, I think it’s time to stop him now before he starts offending people,” Jaehee saidalarmed, trying to get Seven to stop cackling. “Yoosung, go out there rightnow!”

“What?! No!” Yoosung cried. “After all that, I’ll never beable to show my face in public again!”

“Just… Just get him to stop talking,” Jumin said, his voicetrembling.

Zen grabbed Yoosung by the wrist and dragged him out to thestage. “Hello everyone!” he shouted, flashing a smile. The crowd startedcheering, but they soon turned to wondering the identity of the young man withthe crimson face that was being towed. Zen took the microphone from V’s hand ratherunceremoniously and handed it to Yoosung. “Introduce yourself!” he hissed.

Yoosung’s eyes opened wide and turned to Jihyun, who wassmiling charmingly. He gave Yoosung a little wink that only the two of themcould see, which made Yoosung chuckle. He looked ahead and bowed. “He-Helloeveryone… My name is Yoosung Kim.”

For a moment the crowd remained silent, but then franticclapping and cheering erupted from all corners of the tent.

As he clapped, V moved closer to Yoosung and whispered inhis ear, “Never doubt yourself.” He stepped back for a few seconds but then heseemed to remember something. “Oh, and when the meet-and-greet comes, kindlypoint out the ladies that said those things about you.”

“Like hell I will,” Yoosung hissed under his breath.

“Shall I do something more embarrassing in front of allthese people, then?” Jihyun teased.

Yoosung shuddered as he replied, “The four ladies wearingfur on the first row.”

“Thank you, love,” Jihyun grinned, gently patting him on theback and waving to the crowd.

#in conclusion: angry V makes his friends die from embarrassment #omg this is so long I'm sorry #I can't even see the mistakes but I know they're there #mystic messenger #jihyun kim #yoosung kim #RFA #asks #I'm so mad at myself for this #siiiiighs

A, K, R!!

vidya games!

K – game you’re most looking forward to?

at the moment it’s super mario odyssey and pokemon ultra sun and moon! and, uh… my inner 12 year old is rearing her ugly head to force me to admit i’m also pretty hyped for sonic forces, oops. lOOK IT LOOKS FUN, OKAY…

i’m looking forward to fe musou too but also i’m pretty neutral on it– everything they’ve revealed has been super incredible so far and i’m looking forward to maining my birb, but i’m more interested in the confirmed fe16 and i’m looking forward to hearing more about that when the time comes.

R – most underrated game?

hmmmm… while xenoblade chronicles itself would certainly fit the bill despite shulk being a giant meme now, i think i’ll take it a step further and go on to say xenoblade chronicles x deserves a bit more love than it got–

despite the very real flaws with the game and some aspects of the story, a thing that draws me to it aside from the ‘if you can see it, you can go to it’ MASSIVE open world and setting on a foreign planet was just how human its supporting cast and even minor npcs are. the game does an excellent job of portraying raw humanity in both ends of the spectrum– where there are heroes, there are people even in man’s most desperate hour that took that second chance as an excuse to be horrible, horrible people. the encounter of alien life goes as swimmingly as you expect, with the remaining fragments of humanity split on how to deal with these new beings in their midst. some choose to try and form alliances and bonds, the others shun and fear the outsiders– many quests actually revolve around the racism in what’s supposed to be a safe haven for the aliens pledging themselves to humanity’s side. the conflict taking up the last leg of the game is one born of human grief and the sting of loss– and when you really get into the motivations behind it it’s so easy to understand why the person did what they did but also acknowledge yeah no you did bad buddy you gotta pay for it now. i just???? it’s so good????

the planet and creatures that make up the game’s setting are imaginative and beautiful, i honestly love just booting it up and wandering. sometimes it’s scary as all heck because OH GOD GIANT MONSTER OUT OF NOWHERE but also… that just adds to the immersion and feeling like you’re a tiny fish in a big, big sea… and when you’re strong enough to stand up to those monsters it’s the most satisfying thing in the world.

the musical direction is honestly up to taste- i personally adore xcx’s soundtrack, but those not a huge fan of hiroyuki sawano’s works might find it lacking. here’s a personal favourite!

point is, it’s super fun, i want to do an araceli run sometime if i can ever be arsed to go back on my wii u or it gets a switch port, and a verse would be fun to play around with… i’m not a huge jrpg person, but i really really like xcx. also, fans of matthew mercer– he’s in this one, too! he plays lao huang, one of my all time favourite characters tbh

point is it is flawed, yes, but it’s also a very solid jrpg that i had fun sinking hours into and i’d totally do so again

A – favourite game of all time?

my top fave game of all time? easy! it’s the legend of zelda: wind waker!

it wins in both nostalgia points and a critical eye as i’ve gotten older– as a little kid, it was the first game i ever actually beat all by myself! the gamecube was the first home console i ever got to own– for a while i lived with my granny, who wasn’t very big on gaming if that makes sense? and then after moving back in with my mom she got me one for christmas and a friend lent me wind waker after i tried playing it at his house and repeatedly got stuck in the forsaken fortress. the excitement of finally making it past that and seeing this big, bright, beautiful world and story unfold before me has stuck with me to this day?? idk how to explain it i just. wind waker was an important game in my childhood, and i’ve played through it a loooooot– mostly i’ve noticed it was during times of stress or particular loneliness. everyone has that one game that’s been there™ for them during times of duress, and wind waker has always been mine.

okay i’m read more-ing the rest of this because i… went on for a WHILE. which is also why i answered it last oops. tl;dr there are many reasons why i love this game and it’s still my fave even now that i’m nearly 23.

as an adult, i’ve found that from a technical standpoint the game holds up really well, too– even without the hd remake on the wii u wind waker is still a very beautiful, stylistic game; a major benefit to having taken the art in a more cartoony direction is that it prevents the game from aging too much; if you were to look at the vanilla gamecube edition now, it still holds up amazingly! (meanwhile, i find that while twilight princess is still lovely, the more realistic art direction tends to date it a little. i could look at the original and just know the era it was made in, whereas if i never saw wind waker before, i would question it.)

the textures are rather blurry, sure, but that was a product of the time– hypatia on tumblr actually produced a mod with hd textures for roms of the gamecube version– check out these comparasion shots of the then-work in progress mod versus the original textures… and then here’s a few polished shots of the mod with a few extra effects dolphin/ishiiruka can provide. in short, the original wind waker is a very, very beautiful game and age has done very little to tarnish that even with the remake’s updated graphics.

but obviously graphics don’t make or break a game, though proper presentation is important– wind waker’s story also resonates with me deeply in various aspects. as an older sister, the initial quest to set out and rescue your younger sibling in danger caught my attention and held it fast; they do a very good job of making you feel attached to aryll, and the scene where she is kidnapped always tugs at my heartstrings every time i see it. watching this young boy who lived the world’s most quiet little life on a tiny island suddenly get swept up into this grand, big adventure to rescue someone dear to him and becoming an actual hero – despite having no relation to oot link whatsoever! – is the quintessential coming of age story that most people can relate to, and watching that change as the game plays out is always really sweet???

it was nice watching link’s development through his little actions: the backing away from helmaroc king when he first storms the fortress and then confident staring it down the second time and then giving it what for– aside from ganondorf himself that’s my favourite boss in the game if only because of those moments of development. link’s not just some kid from outset in over his head anymore– he’s a hero who overcame the trials of the goddesses himself in the name of protecting his baby sister, and he will not fail again. and then, after he could easily just throw in the towel and take his sister home because he accomplished what he set out to do, link goes on and sees it through to the end anyways because restoring order to the world is the right thing to do– there’s no legacy of knights looming over his head like several of his other incarnations. there’s no grand kingdom, there are only desolate little islands. there’s a princess, but… he barely knows her. hell, she didn’t even know she was a princess until that moment.

the story also touches on themes of death and the ends of eras… but also ends on a note of hope and new beginnings– clinging to the past only leads to ruin, and we must create opportunities for ourselves and the world to grow. hyrule is actually completely washed away by the end, and ganondorf goes with it– unless we assume breath of the wild is in the adult timeline, that’s it. he’s gone FOREVER in the subsequent games, with bellum and malledeus taking his place as the main villain. the kingdom link and tetra found is called new hyrule, but that’s all they share in significance– it’s their own land, just like the king said. that final scene of wind waker with the king always got to me– that message of hope is so poignant and powerful, i just. i don’t know how to put it into words, but it’s a scene i love dearly.

then there’s the music and cast of characters, and even quests and gameplay? i know the sailing could get tedious but i always liked it; it was relaxing to me just watching the virtual waves and listening to that beautiful score?? the characters are all bright and unique and fun– they’ve got their own little lives and you can impact them in so many different ways and things definitely change once you do?? like starting windfall vs windfall after you do a few sidequests or even turn on the ferris wheel and lighthouse again feel so different? it’s a neat little detail i’ve always found!!

…i really need to stop rambling about wind waker now i actually dozed off a bit typing this post, oops.

[19:45:44] Fëanáro: Elvis would probably just kick away his boots, sit down a second at the entrance of the village and look up at Mathin [19:46:03] Fëanáro: comment that he looks pretty committed with regard to this helping strangers business [19:46:56] Fëanáro: and something like "you might have done a good job, in my place" [19:47:05] Fëanáro: with a sort of an evaluating expression [19:48:08] crow: Mathin just shakes his head. “No. For all my efforts, Kirkwall still ended in flames. They cursed my name, who was supposed to have protected them. It is good, that the Seeker could not find me.”

[19:49:14] Fëanáro: Elvis stares and blinks. "Then maybe not. At least, not with that attitude."

[19:51:00] crow: “You will understand, with time. I started out much like you.” Mathin smiles a little, but it doesn’t touch his eyes. “But I am here now, and I cannot deny anyone who is in need. I never could."

[19:54:22] Fëanáro: He stands up, grabs his boots and walks, very slowly, towards the houses. "Like me? How did I start out, Champion?" He's not smiling, too busy grimacing for his calluses, constrained in in wet and hard footwear.

[19:56:52] crow: Mathin laughs shortly. “Forgive me, perhaps I misunderstood. Given your judgement of my ‘attitude’ I assumed you to be a particular type of man.” He starts to follow Elvis into the village, with Varric and Dorian and idk who else you pick trailing behind them. “I, of course, do not know you.”

[20:04:40] Fëanáro: "An assumption for an assumption, it's a fair trade." Elvis turns and smiles a little. "You might not deserve your bad reputation. But again, I don't know you either."

[20:06:45] crow: “My mistakes are my own. I live with them, as best I might.” A nod of the chin, acknowledgement. “Varric has chosen to follow you. You are working to put things right. I do not know you, but perhaps I know enough.” [20:20:15] Fëanáro: "You do not believe that I come armed by Andraste's will?" He looks at the few faces that start showing up in the village, very gaunt, damp, everything is terribly damp. He probably thinks that an aravel would have a hard time with all that mud, and so do merchant carts.

[20:24:38] crow: Mathin gives him a suspicious glance. “Armed” by Andraste’s will? Is that meant to be a pun? Probably not. “I believe your arrival… precisely what was needed, at precisely the time it was needed… is interesting timing.” He thinks of Sebastian for a moment, of the grief on the man’s face as he stared at the smoke over Kirkwall and the fury as he stared at Anders. “But I have come to be… wary… of piety.”

[20:32:41 | Modificato 20:36:44] Fëanáro: a man who decides to help a pious organisation founded on religious grounds, literally and metaphorically, and led by someone who openly accepted and embraced the title of Herald of Andraste, is wary of piety. If Elvis weren't who he is, that is, an elf who openly accepted and embraced the title of Herald of Andraste, he'd call Mathin a hypocrite. "So you're wary of me, Champion? Isn't the interesting timing exacly how" (your) "divinity works? It wasn't a case, and if it was, I made the best of it. It seems a textbook case of Andraste working her mysterious ways." [20:32:58] Fëanáro: literally textbook. He read that stuff over and over with Mother Giselle.

[20:38:20] crow: Mathin gives Elvis a loooong look, ignoring the rain dripping uncomfortably down the back of his neck and under his armor, ignoring the prickling pangs of hunger in his stomach, ignoring the growing desire to take off his armor and sit somewhere warm and dry. “Yes, I’m wary of you. Don’t take it too personally; I’m wary of most people, these days, no matter how long I’ve known them.” The name ‘Anders’ isn’t said, but hangs between them a moment, all the same. “I don’t know how the Maker works, or Andraste. I’ve never seen their hand, to know it. It seems rather presumptuous of me to make declarations about them, in any case.” There’s another pause. “I’ve seen faith work both good and ill, depending on how it’s wielded.”

[20:51:31] Fëanáro: Elvis wears a gauntlet, of course. But he raises his left hand anyway, palm up. The green glow doesn't shine through it, not now that there aren't any rifts nearby. "You've seen it now." He doesn't say anything else on the matter, because they are in the middle of the village and people look at them with a little of the same wariness Mathin mentions, and some awe too, some curiosity. "But it's understandable and I appreciate the honesty." To an extent. He sits down again, on a small rock wall, moss-covered, aware that he can't really enter the mayor's house without boots and with muddy feet. He stares at the boots though. Would these people really care? They all seem as wet to the bone as the land is.

[20:56:15] crow: Mathin smiles a little. He wears a gauntlet, too, though the fingers are left exposed for magical workings. Turning his hand palm-up, a tiny ball of pure bright magic collects and hovers there a moment, then winks out when he closes his hand around it. “I have seen many things,” is all he says. And he has. He has seen very old magic, very strange mysteries. He has seen things he has no explanations for. Elvis is just one more of those, until proven otherwise, in other words. “I sing the Chant. The Chantry itself?” He shrugs one shoulder, watching as Elvis regards his own feet a moment. “Leave them off.”

[21:07:01] Fëanáro: Elvis looks at him, then at Cassandra, and back at Mathin. He won't comment on that Chantry remark, let the Seeker pick her own battles if she wants to. I'm something more and something better than the Chantry, he thinks. They'll sing my own chant. But people don't very much like pride (especially not the Champion with his very own glowy hand), and maybe once neither did he, so he tries to remember that and doesn't say that either. He looks at his own dirty feet instead. "That would make me look like what I am." He whiffles and stands up. Whatever. Cleaning both boots and feet is too much effort now. "Let's go inside, the mayor must be waiting."

[21:14:50] crow: Mathin looks at Elvis a moment, wondering to himself ‘and just what are you, really?’ A Dalish elf who professes himself the Herald, who argues for it, in fact. Mathin has read the New Cumberland Chant, he’s read the Dissonant Verses contained in it. He knows about Shartan, and how history has almost literally docked his ears. An elf as a figure in Andrastian belief is no new idea to him. But this elf? He’s not sure. And maybe it doesn’t matter, anyway, as long as they have the same goals. If those goals diverge… he’ll reconsider, then. He straightens a little and shakes off the mood, breathing in deeply enough that his ribs creak. “All those people,” he says quietly, thinking of the bodies of the drowned. “Someone must answer for it.”

[21:25:04] Fëanáro: "Someone will." And he approaches the mayor's house. Only of course it wasn't going to be that easy. There are those two men in front of the wooden door, mentioning how the man has left. Elvis frowns considerably, clutching his armoured boots. "Now. The mayor has left now ."

[21:30:54] crow: Varric pipes up. “Yeah, all right. Because that’s not suspicious at all.” Mathin’s expression grows grim as his suspicions mount. He doesn’t want to believe it, but he’s seen far worse things already. It wouldn’t surprise him, which is almost the worst part of all. He strides ahead of Elvis and pushes open the door with more force than is strictly necessary, staring around the empty rooms.

[21:43:36] Fëanáro: Elvis marches in right after Mathin, taking a deep breath, inhaling the mossy scent of the house. It isn't a bad scent, though it also smells of rot. "Interesting timing indeed", he murmurs in answer to Varric. He pulls off a gauntlet and looks around, not knowing exactly what he is looking for. And yet, what is he looking for lies in plain sight, on the desk, open between bound stacks of paper. The ink is dry, but the letter isn't old and though Elvis fails to understand some words, the meaning is overall rather clear. He holds it up. "He confessed."

[21:49:30] crow: Mathin’s lips press together tightly and he summons a witchlight to brighten the horrid little room. It smells like mildew and regret. Darkness and fear. The mayor, he is somehow certain, was a very sad little man, to live in a house like this one. He is minded, in fact, of Gamlen’s hovel. A bit peremptorily, he plucks the letter out of Elvis’s fingers and reads it over quickly. His jaw clenches and he very carefully sets the letter back down, instead of clenching his fist around it or anything more overt than that. “He will be found.” It isn’t a question.

[21:58:55 | Modificato 21:58:54] Fëanáro: "The Inquisition's forces can do that." It's funny, he thinks, how the Champion of Kirkwall, with his reputation and his history is a man who cares so much about justice. how righteous he is. And how he oversteps his authority on the matter too, as if any of the people here answered to him. Elvis is still frowning when he picks up the letter again; the two men outside are peeping in but Cassandra is quick to fill the frame of the threshold with her presence and then close the door entirely. " You ", Elvis continues, "have someone else entirely to find, or help us find, in any case." He sits down where the mayor would have sat while writing that letter, on the wooden chair before the old, humid table. "I wonder if I should tell these people what exactly happened and what is going on now."

[22:05:45] crow: Mathin draws himself up, wanting to protest, and then swallows it. He’s not the Champion anymore, not really. And it’s not his place, even if this entire situation throws him back to the fall of Lothering, all the deaths of the people he once knew and cared about. And he fled it, left the Blight behind, instead of living with its legacy as the people of Crestwood still do. And his sister died, anyway. “I know where to find him,” he says, only a little shortly. “The sooner, the better.” He strides to the hearth and tosses fire at it, wanting to heat and dry this horrid little place. Maker, he wants to be dry. But there’s no chance yet to rest. “They won’t thank you, either way.”

[22:22:53] Fëanáro: "I don't know that. They have much to thank me for already. But maybe you're right, and maybe they don't even want to know." If his Keeper had done anything so dismal to save half of the clan, he wouldn't want to know about it. His followers, the Inquisition's soldiers, also wouldn't want to know if he ever sacrificed a part of them to save the rest. He looks at the traces of his feet on the floor, then glances at the flames, almost out of place in the damp house; like wanting to keep a fire alive in the undergrowth of a wood just after a storm. At least the dripping of rain outside is diminishing. He can still smell the dregs of the lake though: algae, putrid wood, something fresh, lichens. "Why bother with the hearth?" [22:30:55] crow: “They don’t want to know,” Mathin agrees. He also is in a very good place to know that no matter what you do for people, they’ll only be upset that you didn’t do more, or didn’t do it differently. It’s better just to do what you do because it’s right that you do it, and not for the accolades. Those fade, all too quickly, and memories are short. The Inquisitor will learn that, eventually, the same way Mathin did. From experience. He stands and stares into the hearth a moment. “One thing I learned. Never pass up a chance for even a moment of comfort. You never know when the next will come.” Straightening, he turns back to Elvis a second and smiles. “And this place was too dark.”

[22:34:51] Fëanáro: Elvis smiles a little too and slightly raises the hand that holds the letter. "True. It was." A small place for a lonely man to live with his guilt. "Our contact will not flee again, will he?"

[22:36:39] crow: Mathin crosses his arms over his chest and considers. “Only if forced to. Those Wardens we saw… he is being hunted. He’ll not risk being taken. We ought not delay, especially now that the rifts have been dealt with. The region is calmer, which increases his chances of being found.”

[22:44:25] Fëanáro: Elvis folds the letter and tucks it under his serpentstone armour, as the only and final proof of the mayor's responsibility. "I'll dry my feet, then, and then we move ahead." He sighs and passes his hand through his wet hair. "This is taking longer than catching a golden halla."

[22:49:47] crow: Mathin shakes his head and droplets of water spray off his hair. The fur on his armor — the Champion armor still, after all these years, though so much more worn and faded, and he’s tempted sometimes to read a metaphor into that — smells like wet animal. Or maybe that’s him. Or maybe that’s the entire crappy little house. The rain is slowing up, but the clouds are still dark and grey. This house isn’t better than being outside, though, and he rolls his shoulders under his armor. “I’ve never tried to catch a golden halla, but I’d imagine so. I thought halla were white, from what Merrill told me.”

[22:55:57] Fëanáro: Elvis quickly drags the chair by the hearth, dropping his boots near the flames. He stretches his legs and brushing a foot against the other one to rub off the greater part of the mud. When someone knocks at the door, probably the two villagers, he turns towards his companions. "Do you mind talking with them? I imagine they need some news." He turns again towards the fire. "They are shy little things, with a... a sheen to their mantle. Hard to find and hard to catch. It's a saying."

[23:01:58] crow: “Ah. I understand,” Mathin says, and falls silent, enjoying the radiant warmth, nearly basking in it. “I do not know you,” he says again after a moment, apropos of little. “And in a very practical way, it doesn’t matter. But I dislike relying on someone I do not know, though you’re clearly a capable warrior and leader.” Another pause. “I will not insult you by asking if you really believe all those things you said earlier, about Andraste’s will. But I will ask you this.” He turns, and looks down at the seated elf. “I have a friend, a close one, who left the Dalish for reasons of her own, and they were good ones, from her logic of them. What are yours, for staying among people not your own?”

[23:12:00] Fëanáro: Elvis looks up, with an arched brow and an inquisitive glance, as he slowly puts the gauntlet back on. "And would answering that give you any more insight?"

[23:13:54] crow: “Perhaps.” His expression is neither grim no grave, but it is not light, either. Then he barks a laugh. “Perhaps not. My own life, after all, is an open book.” With a jerk of his chin in the direction of Varric. “Literally.”

[23:35:22] Fëanáro: Elvis snorts a little now. He hasn't read that book, if he has to be honest, but he never says it. He doesn't know whether Varric would be offended or not. "What can I tell you, Champion? I couldn't leave even if I wanted to. I alone can do this, so I must. But that's not the point, right?" He shrugs. "I don't want to leave", he admits, almost candidly. It's been frightening, at the beginning. Thinking about what it meant for his clan back in the Marches, if he, an elf, was thought responsible for Justinia's death; thinking about how he would adapt, how he would survive, how he would learn. But the leadership of these people had been put into his hands and he had never, not for a moment, thought about letting it slip away. Andraste had existed and had marched with the People. Whether the human Maker, or Mythal, or Elgar'nan, or all the Creators together had put her banner his hand, it didn't matter at all. "There was a void of power, after the explosion at the conclave, and it had to be filled. I don't know what you expected of me, Champion. Maybe I should hide in a grove or in a hole in the earth and wait for the storm to pass, hoping that something will have withstood it when I resurface? I won't die like that. In fact, I am quite tired of all of that. You think these people aren't my own, but they are, and the more I say it, the more they'll believe it too. Maybe I don't belong to them but... but they belong to me. You don't know how rare it is to be able to say that for one like me."

[23:43:07] crow: Mathin watches him in silence during the whole speech, and in silence for a few moments afterward. The answer is a better one than he’d feared, even if part of him does feel the “void of power which needed to be filled” as a rebuke. Cassandra had wanted him for this role, after all, and he’d refused it without her ever knowing. He’d just… hidden. Not quite in a grove or a hole in the earth, but hidden, all the same. He’d been busy with his own tasks, and he had justified it that way. He also, to be fair, hadn’t known exactly why the Seeker wanted to find him, only that she had, and that she’d roughly interrogated his best friend to do it. It hadn’t disposed him to trust her, or to give her anything she’d wanted. “Many people would have hidden,” is all he says aloud. “Or tried to. Many people… my father used to say that his magic would serve what was best in him, not what was most base.” He leans a shoulder on the fireplace, letting the heat soak into him. “Merely because you’re the only one who can do this? To some people, that wouldn’t mean a damn thing. To you it does.” He nods once, with something almost like respect. And there’s respect, too, for being an outsider who nevertheless has laid claim to the people around him. Mathin was that, once. A Fereldan in Kirkwall. He wasn’t theirs, but they were his. “And yes, I have some idea.” He straightens and claps his hands together in front of him, once. “Shall we, then?" [23:54:31] Fëanáro: "Some idea, maybe." But one of them is an elf and the other is not. Elvis straightens his back and once again rubs his feet together and against the leather of his gauntlet, cleaning them of the mostly dried mud as best as he can. He grabs his boots and wears them, though the bottom of them is still uncomfortably humid. He stands up, nevertheless looking at Mathin with a certain understanding, supposing that, maybe, his answer pleased him enough to nod his approval. "Yes, time to go. Your contact has waited enough."
