Nimona’s little brother
Okay hear me out, I think it would be absolutely adorable if Nimona had just like a mini version of her who she was inspiring her chaotic destruction in.
Like she’d chase him around outside (before the events of the movie) whiles they’re both animals and just play and brawl (obviously she’d go easy on him, like how lions let their cubs win for confidence) then she’d carry him on her back to their little cave/tree house once he tired himself out.
He would totally have her bloodthirsty adorableness, kinda like when she was the little demon boy 😂
Nimona wouldn’t introduce him to Ballister immediately, she’s probably drop little hints after a while and then introduce him around the shark dance time before Ballister went for nachos.
Like :
*Ballister walks in*
Nimona : *on couch* oh yeah btw, no biggie but this is Raphael.
Ballister : I’m sorry? Who?!
Nimona : *unimpressed* my brother?
Ballister : * so done with asking anymore so offers to shake the kids hand*
Nimona : *nonchalant* I wouldn’t do that, Rapha likes to bite
*little shark teeth snap at Ballisters hand*
Nimona : *ruffles Raph’s hair* who’s a good Raphie? You are! Yes you are! (she is not against treating him like a puppy & the kid loves it)
Like Nimona wanted to get Ballister comfortable with her to see if he could understand, if he could change, so that she could see if times were different now so that her little brother didn’t have to grow up scared like she did.
Maybe when Gloreth’s people attacked her she ran away and they chased her, but she was scared they’d find Rapha so she attacked them? And that adds to her boatloads of trauma? The guilt of hurting and lashing out conflicting with her desire to protect her little brother?
The ending would obviously have to be different ? Maybe Rapha got scared when Nimona became so depressed and angry, but he turned into his smoky black thing before she did because he was little and had less self control, he was just so hurt at how his big sister kept getting treated by people that his pain and anger took him over.
He crashed into the city and goes for Gloreth’s statue because he may have been young but he remembered what happened (their ppl have amazing memories? Maybe just he does?) so he wanted to tear it down because he couldn’t do anything else for her.
But of course he gets attacked by the guard and becomes far more scared and frantic and distressed, maybe he goes down or passes out and Nimona thinks he’s dead?
So of course she rages and becomes all smoky, but then the anger just becomes deep deep sorrow because she feels like she has nothing left anymore so she does the sword thing but Ballister stops her and shows her that Rapha is still alive. The little guy does that thing kids do when they want to be picked up so he stretches his arms out to her whiles crying for her, she collapses into Ballisters arms, she then had to save everyone so she leave Rapha with Ballister and does her Phoenix thing….something something something we win. 😁
Idk it was just an idea I had while watching it? Like how different would it be?
Anyway hope you enjoyed♥️

A Manchester Affair (Rúben Dias): Chapter 7
Chapter 6
Chapter 8
Masterlist
Wattpad
September turned out to be a stupidly busy month. Matches every 3 or 4 days meant everyone was exhausted.
Lucía still managed to hang out with Rúben more than she expected at first, but she guessed those were the perks of literally living in the same place.
There weren’t other dates outside of their apartments, because of how busy the schedule was. But he definitely went out of his way to try and make every one of their meetings feel like one.
The more time they spent together, the more comfortable she felt in his company. The walls she had built around her were falling slowly, which was exciting. Maybe she could finally really be there for him. But he wanted more and he wanted it now.
Their conversations started to be longer. He would talk about his family, his childhood, his time in Manchester, …everything. There was no part of his life she didn’t know something about. Lucía, on the other hand, still couldn’t open up completely to him. Anyone could see she was just sharing the surface details. Winning a gymnastics competition aged 7, moving to Germany when she was 18 or that one anecdote she always told about her first night out in Amsterdam. It wasn’t the same, at all.
But she could see the progress. The problem was that Rúben wouldn’t be able to see it. And his frustration was obvious. So to the already big fear of potentially falling for him, and maybe being hurt again, she had to add the fear of him getting tired of her and moving to someone else who was emotionally available now. Who knew how long she was going to make him wait?
And then came the Manchester derby. The preparation for it was unlike anything Lucía had seen since arriving at United. The distance between the teams had been huge in the last couple of years, and the results from last year still stung. So the players and the staff were taking this match extremely seriously. It almost felt like a final. But there would be no trophy afterwards. Though bragging rights sometimes felt like one.
“Check her for microphones!”, said Rapha when she entered the canteen.
“Pardon?”
“Don’t you live with the entire City squad? We need to check that they aren’t using you as a mole”.
Everyone laughed at that, including her.
“They can try but they won’t be getting anything from me. I’m loyal”.
And she was honest. Lucía and Rúben had even decided not to mention the match to each other.
Something else she occupied her time on was meeting Claudia. They had visited each other's houses, gone shopping and watched movies, just to name a few things they did together. It was great to have a female friend in Manchester to talk to. She loved all her other friends but there were certain things only a girlfriend could understand. Boy talk was one of them.
Claudia had tried to get her to talk about any potential guys she might like. But Lucía kept telling her there was no one. It was much easier than trying to explain something she herself didn’t understand.
“Well”, said Claudia while they were having a coffee break in the middle of their shopping spree. “You could meet some of mine and Diogo’s friends and maybe you’ll find someone you like”.
“Yeah, maybe”, she said, not wanting to say that she had technically already found one of his friends and that she liked him, very much.
**
When Sunday arrived, she sat next to Scott on the bus on their way to the Etihad. But when they arrived there, he got out first and she waited for a couple of seconds. She had learnt from her time at Ajax that being seen too many times in a row with a player just meant rumours being created. And she could do without those.
Today felt like a big day. But what she didn’t know yet was that it wouldn’t just be a big day because of football.
On her way to the pitch, she saw Pep and ran to say hello to him.
“Hey!”
“Oh, hi! I was hoping I could see you before the match and wish you luck”, he said, after a quick hug.
“Same. Good luck, rival!”
“We’ll go back to being friends in two hours, right?”, he asked, laughing.
“We’ll see”.
“You and your fraternizing with the enemy…”, said Scott, shaking his head.
“Blah blah blah”.
“You’re such a brat”, he said to her, putting his arms around her shoulders and leaning down to repeat the word brat in her ear. To anyone looking from far away, it might have looked more like a kiss.
She couldn’t control the laughter and when she finally got free of his grasp, she ran to the pitch so he wouldn’t be able to catch her again.
Had she turned around just for a second, she’d have seen Rúben looking at them both. And not liking what he was seeing.
**
Saying that the match was bad would be an understatement. Not only did United concede more than once in the first half, again, but Varane got injured too, which was too much for Lucía if she was honest. Given what her job was, she ended up caring more about an injury-free match than about clean sheets.
But it wasn’t until the second half that she was really worried about what could happen. Scott managed to score one for the team. Not that it was going to matter much, since they were already 4-0 down but he nonetheless did a little gesture towards her when he walked past the bench. Not the right mood for a big celebration, but the fact that he remembered dedicating the goal to her made her smile.
Rúben had not started the game, which had surprised Lucía. He didn't mention it to her but she guessed that was part of their not talking about the match deal. And during the second half, he was warming up a couple of times, just in case. It was then that Scott ran for the ball and got out of the pitch and bumped into Rúben. Scott made a quick gesture with his hand as if to say sorry, but it was for nothing. Lucía couldn't believe it when she saw Rúben pushing Scott and making him fall.
The referee ran towards the both of them to separate them, and so did their teammates. No one understood Rúben’s anger but Lucía had an idea why he was acting like that. And she was not happy about it.
The match ended with a terrible result for United and she was dreading going into the dressing room and facing the players and Erik.
“Friends again?”, said Pep when they hugged.
“Don't talk to me for a couple of weeks".
And that only made him laugh.
When the players were approaching the tunnel, she tried comforting them. One of the last players to get there was Scott.
“Your neighbour is a fucking dick”, he said to her, which made her close her eyes and sigh.
“It was a very intense match”.
“Don’t excuse him. There was no reason for him to do that. He wasn't even playing and his team was humiliating us. And when I asked him for an explanation, he just looked at me as if I was supposed to read his mind or something. What an idiot!”
“Yeah, it wasn’t his finest moment”.
Erik’s post-match talk was so brutal for the players but so sad for Lucía. She could tell how much he was hurting after that result and it made her hurt too.
When she finally got the chance, she got out to get some fresh air and saw Rúben getting out of his dressing room as well.
“Hi”.
Hearing her voice, he turned. He shook his head. “Not here”.

tagged by @dangerliesbeforeyou <3 thank you!! ❤ ❤ My taste is absolute trash, and now you're exposing me haha. Don't judge me too hard guys
8 shows/films to get to know me
BBC Merlin
I think this one is obvious lol. It has played such a big role in my life and I'd definitely say it's one of those shows that I'd consider mine. I've become closer to so many people because of it, and have used it to break the ice with a lot of people
2. Friends
Pretty sure I'm sarcastic af purely because of this show. It's really influenced my sense of humour and was honestly a big obsession for me during my teenage years. It's still a big comfort show for me
3. BBC Sherlock (Seasons 1 and 2)
Another big obsession for me. But ONLY series 1 and 2. I was really into the dickhead genius who just wants to be loved trope for a while and after Sherlock wrote a lot of ocs like that lol. But honestly I really loved the cinematography and the way the genius elements were handled (even though people make fun of them now, I think in-universe it was done really well) and I love mysteries, and tbh Sherlock is so aroace coded so that's a plus for me cause I do love my dickhead genius trope
4. The Brendan Brady Cut of Hollyoaks
I think this is cheating because I'm choosing only one storyline of a massive soap but I could only watch that one storyline. But I swear like... firstly, it was one of the first few pieces of television to ever make me cry which is BIG. Secondly, it literally changed my way of thinking about certain things which is also huge, and Brendan is such a fucking nuanced and brilliantly written character like !!!
5. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
I have this movie memorised idk what to tell you. It's so stupid and makes no sense and def has not aged well, but it's one of those movies that defined my childhood
6. Coco
Just changed me as a fucking person and makes me cry every time, and if I write an original script that has the same power and impact of this one film I'll die happy
7. Great Men Academy
Sometimes a show is just weird enough for you to be like... this one is for me. I know they didn't write it for me but it FEELS like they wrote it for me.
8. Drake and Josh
Another show I'm pretty sure made me sarcastic/greatly influenced my sense of humour
9. Glee
I KNOW THE SHOW GOT SHIT, but honestly... first couple of seasons did hit hard. It was really witty and it brought Darren Criss into my life (even though it was A Very Potter Musical that really solidified my crush on him). And tbh, growing up in India when I did, we didn't have a lot of exposure of the concept of homosexuality, especially in a positive light. Like I knew some gay people and my family has always been super accepting, but society as a whole still wasn't accepting, and people would constantly say things about gay people which was a bit ignorant, and I think Glee kinda was the first show with a sympathetic gay lead a lot of us (in my school at least) were exposed to and made us stop repeating a lot of the ignorant shit the generations above us said. Idk, I think it really did play a big part when it came to awareness and exposure and acceptance of a lot of minorities, esp in countries like mine
10. Game of Thrones
It also got shit by the end there, but I've got a lot of memories tied up in that show, I cannot deny that
I'm tagging: @poetryincamelot, @youdontloveme-yet @iplann @arielmagicesi @gunsatthaphan @rapha-reads

Thinking of making a Bloodlines series old Hollywood fancast.
James Dean as Adrian Ivashkov, obviously, that's what started me down this path.
I can get some bi!Adrian material out of it too.
I think I've settled on Veronica Lake, specially in I Married a Witch, for Sydney Sage Ivashkov, it's perfect.
I think I heard the story that Veronica's hair was bothering her in the audition by falling on her eyes, but that actually became her signature. Sydney's hair is aways messy no matter how much she tries, but when you get other povs no one thinks it looks bad.
Just imagine Sydney messing up Adrian's precious hair 🥰 Wife privilege!
I have to actually watch the movies, though, or I'll feel like a poser. They've been on my list forever.
But look! Perfect! I haven't decided on the rest of the gang (maybe baby Judy Garland for Jill).
It could go with my Studio Imposed Fake Marriage AU if I actually work that out
#Rapha's Bloodlines Tag#I should maybe have picked actors for Sydrian that have actually worked together so I'd have gifs of them you know#but now I'm attached to these#having a surprisingly hard time picking a blond for Eddie#I thought of making Rose a Hollywood bombshell like Liz Taylor but I'd have to fight a Turkish actress#maybe if I looked at Turkish movies of the time#I was thinking maybe I'd use Veronica for Lissa but after the witchy images Sydney Sage it is she looks perfect 🥰#they all will have to be aged up because no teen actors lol#since I didn't pick actors who ever played a couple the fancast for Adrian Ivashkov's front half is James Dean#while the back is whoever is playing opposite Veronica#I'm gonna go look for that movie again I already wanted to watch it so bad before I assigned otp feels to it

I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IDEA. But may I also propose: Magnus cursed from a young age (probably bc of Asmodeus) that anyone who touches him is hurt by a blast of magic he can't control. (This may result in his mother's death). He locks himself away of his own will. Alec teaches then that it's fear that makes him lash out. Featuring: touch starved Magnus.
this idea is GENIUS actually and i love it. tbh me and my friend have a similar idea that we talk to each other about (lol) but it isn't a B&B thing, its more of an adventure AU. anyway, lets go!
so in this universe i guess magnus banished asmodeus like in the original sh verse but asmodeus cursed him with the "everyone you touch will be in indescribable pain" thing. maybe just as revenge, maybe to try and use it as bargaining chip because okay magnus, is it freedom that u want? u want to be able to have ur own friends and ur own life? fine. get me back, and ill leave u alone, and ull be free to have friends again. if not, ull be still isolated just like before. so is it gonna be win-win, or lose-lose?
but magnus doesn't budge because he knows that if he lets asmodeus free things will only get worse not only for him, but for the whole world. he is too dangerous to be out there. so, magnus resigns to his fate
and i guess in this version he wouldnt have a lot of close friends because he had been with asmodeus his whole life before he was cursed, so he was just. alone in his self-imposed isolation with no one to talk to. maybe he enchants the furniture so they gain sentience but they can't really feel pain, so at least he has someone to talk to. god im so fucking sad already
so is the furniture his friends in canon? im not entirely sure how i feel about that but also the idea of ragnor as that clock from the original movie is great. thats my most important thought on the subject ngl
btw its 4 degrees Celsius in here so im typing with gloves on so ull have to excuse my typos i am a mere brazilian and i want death
anyway okay so i guess his friends are like pieces of furniture that he spelled into sentience and they aren't his servants or anything cuz that's gross but they just like, hang out. wow im actually managing to type pretty well all things considered
so at least magnus has people to talk to but he's still touch starved because you know... a clock can't hug you and that'd just be weird. maybe them becoming sentient was an accident? lmao like magnus just wanted to automate some functions like having the clock talk to tell him the time or something and it turned out that they became sentient. possibly his magic is a little fucky because of the curse so that's why that happened? or maybe he just is way more powerful than he realizes and we all know he invented the spells he used to try and automate the things anyway. but if he gets people to talk to, well, he's not complaining
im focusing too much on this. anyway. id also like to note that im making rapha the cook/stove thing because i mean, come on. it's right there
and ok i guess alec comes into this because he uhhhhhh no u know i might go with that izzy thing. so izzy ran away from home because of maryse's bullshit and alec was sent to bring her back. so he was going after her but in the middle of the path there was the whole wolf attack thing that scared off his horse and LUCKILY magnus' house/tower/whatever was right next!!! so of course they take alec and his horse in but also WHOOPS there's a huge snowstorm that lasts for days (par the course for where magnus lives, actually. he DID want somewhere people would avoid. but also i think maybe his magic being fucky has something to do with it) so i guess alec is stuck at magnus' for the foreseeable future
which is HELL for magnus because he is terrified out of his mind that they will accidentally touch and alec will be hurt. and like.... his Constant Crave For Touch is already bad on a regular day, but having someone who could actually hug him in theory just makes it worse, you know? he hasn't interacted with other human beings in so long, just having one there is enough to make his need for touch almost unbearable and just... completely constant. it's hell
so magnus is scared, which means that he keeps to himself. so he tells alec not to go into his room, he tries not to eat at the same time, and other stuff like that, bUT his friends keep sabotaging his plans because they want him to have another friend, jesus christ!! (rapha being like "come on now magnus, you don't want my soup to get cold, do you? i'll be deeply offended. i guess you have no choice but to eat with alec". so magnus goes but the first thing he does is magic his regular table into a gigantic rectangular table with 41908410 seats and seat on on the side opposite to alec. alec just sighs
so like he's constantly coming across as rude because he is trying to avoid alec, alec just doesn't know why
but alec is also a stubborn bitch who goes stir crazy and refuses to just sit around isolated doing nothing while they wait for the stupid storm to finally be over so he can go get his sister. and magnus saved his life, so it's the least he can do to repay him in some way. besides, this is what, the first time that he's been completely away from his mom? for such a long time too? and he's finding that he feels... weirdly free and just relieved and he doesn't want to waste that opportunity with standing idly around alone all day. he had enough of that at home, thank you very much
besides yeah magnus is being rude but alec is used to straight up assholes and abusers (jace. i'm talking about jace. also maryse ofc but mostly jace) and magnus is not that. in fact he makes very polite conversation and is actually pretty fun during dinner, all things considered. he's just.... super private, i guess
AND magnus' friends are all being a nightmare with the making them interact so you know. they end up interacting. and alec makes it a point to help him take care of his house because it is a certified Depression Lair™. magnus can take care of it magically but it's like... so dark and almost suffocating at times and there is stuff like bad painting and piping problems that he never bothered to fix because it isn't affecting the functionality too much but it DOES makes life harder and alec "everything must be at 100% always" lightwood is not here for it so for a few days they are working on fixing the house and... magnus actually feels a lot better when the place has actual sunlight and looks inviting and like a home, he has to admit. when he says that to alec it might be the first time he's given him a real smile and man, is alec smitten
sidenote i guess this means that magnus doesn't exactly... dress well in this au lmaoo i mean it makes sense too because canonically magnus uses dressing up as a way to convey an image of power and untouchability and he doesn't really need that in this AU since he is completely isolated. so i guess he is a bit more like twi magnus - bare-faced and wearing comfortable clothes and the like. this isn't a twi au i'm just saying that it makes more sense for him to dress like that in that context
anyway. after the whole house fixing thing, they officially become friends. it turns out that alec also knows a bit about what it's like to feel isolated and touch-starved (altho he's always had izzy to help in that department, but still) and also what crappy parents are like. magnus shows alec his little mirror that he's enchanted to be able to show him anything he wants and how he uses it to be able to see all the places in the world he'd like to visit - he loves people, he loves culture, and sometimes it's all he can do to watch what's going on in Mumbai and it makes him feel a little better, so, he does that. he also admits that sometimes he catches on some drama happening and uses the mirror to see the people involved and make sure they are okay. kinda like a soap opera of his own but he has the means to interfere and help because of magic, so he will have someone who's struggling with money suddenly find hidden cash or have an "unknown dead relative" give them a lot of money in their will, or something like that. and if he also watches some of their personal drama that unfolds, well. he is lonely and it's not hurting anyone
but magnus doesn't tell him about the curse, and he still makes sure to keep his distance. it stings a little to alec, but it hurts magnus the most because fuck, maybe he just desperately needs someone who will give him the time of day, but he likes this guy and that only makes it harder to keep his distance. he makes it a point to always be at at least two arms length from alec, which alec thankfully respects and doesn't try to get him to breach, but. shit. it's still so hard to not want to just rest his head on his shoulder or get a hug or even fucking touch pinkies like stupid children and he can't. alec even once jokingly suggests that they have a ball since magnus doesn't know how to dance and magnus is actually excited for a second before he remembers that he can't, it would have to mean that alec touches him, and he can't
someone - maybe ragnor - even suggests that maybe he could try gloves and heavy clothing so alec isn't really touching him but magnus refuses to try because he doesn't want to risk it not working and alec getting hurt, because he'd never forgive himself. besides, getting a taste would only make it hurt more. he can't. he can't
but it's alright because at least he has some human company - he loves his friends, he does, fiercely, but it's different when they kind of have no choice but to be with him and also are enchanted creatures. he doesn't even know if they aren't nice to him just because he enchanted them into life, even tho to be fair if he had a choice ragnor wouldn't be that grouchy - and alec makes him laugh and gets him and helped make his place feel more like home, a little bit. and he can pretend that he feels the warmth from alec's body when they are sitting by the fire and feed these crumbs to his desperate need for touch and company
and then the snowstorm ends and it's time for alec to go
honestly, alec himself is kind of heartbroken, but- he loves his sister, and he can't just leave her alone in god knows where, even if he dreads the thought of coming back home now that he's been away from his family for so long. but magnus doesn't want to keep him, and doesn't want alec to feel pity for him, so he's all but pushing alec out of the door (not literally, of course. he can't do that, it would mean touching him) all "go, go, you never know when another storm might start. go see your sister. take my mirror, you can find her more easy". and alec's all "but it's been the only thing-" and magnus waves him off, of course, all "i can always make myself another one. besides, you'll have something to remember me by. now go"
so.... alec goes
and hooo boy magnus is heartbroken and a mess because even tho he knew how much having someone else there helped he had almost forgotten what it was like to be the only human in the house. he just feels extra lonely and even kind of bad about it because hey, his friends are there - not that they begrudge him for it, of course. it's not like they don't also hope for the chance to get out of the house and do other things, but well. they can't. so they understand him. and they know how awful he's feeling right then, but what can they do?
meanwhile alec finds izzy pretty quickly - she's living with this one insufferable villager named clary that alec absolutely can't stand, but- she's happy. and she doesn't want to come back, which alec expected, but he finds that he can't actually insist for her to come back. how could he, when he himself doesn't want to go?
and izzy insists that he stays with her - there's no reason for him to come back. they can stay in the village, and work, and build a life for themselves. alec is the only thing she's been missing ever since she left, and in here the both of them can actually be happy. and do it together, like they're meant to
and when he first gets into the village is the first time since izzy ran away that he was hugged and fuck, it's hard to say no to her
but also... he misses magnus already
and he doesn't know if he can just stay and leave him behind
and of course izzy is like "who is magnus?" so alec tells her the story, how he was attacked by wolves and rescued by this house that miraculously was in the middle of the single most inhospitable placealec had ever seen in his life. and the kind but wary stranger who always keeps his distance but seems so eager for connection, who made alec feel welcome and laugh and feel like he built a life for himself there
and clary tells him that she's heard of the story, but she never knew it was more than a legend - no one really remembers what happened. some say that magnus made a sacrifice to rid the village of a demon, and it turned him into a beast, forever locked in his castle. some say that he himself is the demon, and it's the tower that's containing him and keeping the village safe. some even say that he died battling the demon, and it's his ghost that keeps watch on the tower
she wants alec to explain which one is true, but it's all alec can say that none of these are right and he knows nothing because magnus never told him. all alec knows is that he doesn't want to leave magnus behind
and clary is like... well, if he's not a demon or a ghost, maybe we could bring him to the village too. he has magic, right? he could bring the tower closer. and maybe the other villagers could, you know, visit him and hang out. and he wouldn't be as lonely, and then alec and izzy could both stay
driven by this failproof plan, they decide to go back to magnus and tell him their great idea
except they are IDIOTS and forget about. you know. the damn wolves
and like holy shit is this pack big or what? like no seriously why are there infinite wolves in that one singular pack in beauty and the beast. like holy shit dude there's more wolves near the beast's house than in the whole yellowstone park
anyway there are Many Wolves and while alec is a good archer, izzy is a fantastic fighter, and clary is Fucking Crazy if you give her something stabby, there's only so many wolves they can take on at the same time
good thing magnus is a pining idiot who did in fact make himself another magic mirror and was watching alec with it. so he knows that the dumbass is in trouble and for the first time in years, he uses the portal (his own invention, and he had never gotten to use it before!) to get to them and fight off the wolves
so magnus saves all their lives, at the cost of getting severely injured and passing the fuck out. izzy, who's the one closest, runs to get to him and help put him on one of their horses... and is immediately hit by a blast of magic that almost makes HER pass tf out too
which is when they finally learn that, oh. that is the curse
izzy is fine, of course - the pain ended as soon as she was away from magnus
but it does pose the problem of How The Fuck Are They Getting Him Back To Safety, because they can't exactly wait for magnus to wake up (it's freezing, for starters) but with this amount of pain it won't be physically possible for them to hoist him up and get him on the horse. shit, will the curse work on the horse?
they bring alec's horse (by far the strongest of them because alec is huge buff mcgee) and try to get him to touch magnus and the spell does NOT work on the horse because in order to be dramatic asmodeus was like "you shall never feel human touch again" when he cast the spell, which accidentally gave a LOOPHOLE for non-human animals. so magnus could have had cats the whole time, which he had always dreamed of, but he didnt want to risk testing. besides, his house would be a poor environment for a cat and [self torture noises]
anyway thats one less problem to deal with, 99 to go, so they use some ropes to hoist magnus on top of the horse and bring him back to the tower (it's closer than the village) so they can tend to his wounds. thankfully, as the assigned Big Brother of a very irresponsible izzy, alec has experience with first aid, altho he never really dealt with anything quite this bad. and magnus' friends help, too, as much as they can. inevitably this means that alec ends up touching him even if by accident sometimes, but he knows what to expect so he Powers Through It because he won't let magnus die, damn. and as horrible as that is alec has experience with powering through pain, so. he's gonna bandage him up god damn it
izzy can't stand to see him dealing with that himself tho, so she helps, and clary ends up helping as well because they figure sharing the pain makes it easier and alec doesn't have to be too hurt. minimal touching accidents for alec! good
*narrator voice* And Then Magnus Wakes Up And Alec Hugs Him
full on launches on top of him and brings him into his arms and Magnus screams like NONONO OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALEC NO GET OFF ME YOU'LL BE HURT and his shock and distress at the whole thing sends another whole blast of magic that explodes that whole mf before it can touch alec and alec feels no pain and magnus is like.............. did i just COUNTER the spell? and everyone's like well! it looks like u did!
which earns him ANOTHER hug (oh my god alec stop he's so stressed out by this) (who knew alec was so touchy?) and this time he's paying attention to that gut reaction and because magnus is a Certified Magic Genius he realizes what it is that he's doing to counter the spell and immediately starts working on a way to turn this into unhexxing himself for good
which he DOES after some time idk how long but alec stays with him meanwhile and maybe izzy and clary do too, because magnus needs all the company he can get and besides, izzy has always wanted adventure and clary has never left the village before, so this is interesting to them at least. and magnus gets to meet new ppl which is nice
eventually the Begone Spell spell is performed and it works and turns out that when it does that it also unfucks magnus' magic and perfects his sentience spell turning all of his friends into humans WOW WHOD HAVE THOUGHT. so all of them are free to leave the tower as ppl at the same time and GROUP HUG!! and magnus cries like a baby in the group hug because holy shit hes been needing something like this so bad for so long and he never expected to have that with his friends but here he is :)
and then yeah they all move to the village to live a simple but fulfilling life and Magnus and Alec start living together in a little cottage and become husbands the end <3 this is so long too rip me

So like,,,, a cuddle pile. Who’s on the bottom? Who is on the top? Who is squished in the middle?why is it Raphael? I imagine them eating pizza and watching Netflix. Maybe there’s some like ✨shenanigans✨ happening under the covers and eventually rapha is just like “if you guys are gonna grope each other I’m gonna leave” and they’re like “we respect that but also no we want you to stay we’ll behave” and then they eat ice cream and maybe get in an ice cream food fight.
hhhhhhhh i love you more than anything
i like raphael in the middle but consider this: rapha at the bottom because the whole cuddle pile thing started because he as always was being a snob (probably over food because the rest of them were eating cheetos or something and he is like "all of you are terrible, taste-lacking heathens") but they all know REALLY he is a fucking softie so they start tackling him to make take him down a notch lmao
so maia is in the middle probably because she and simon are the most likely ones to have that brilliant idea, with like simon and meliorn under her and clary and izzy on top (also maia is the only one dating all of them so makes sense that she's at the middle. plus, maia squished in cuddles!). also no one has to worry about smothering rapha because he has superstrength and even if he didn't he doesn't really need to breathe
(fun fact: he wouldn't mind. he's hyposensitive to pressure and it feels Really Nice)
and maybe he's being smothered in cheek kisses from his partners too and everyone is giggling and they are extremely close to tipping over but it's sweet anyway
with that being said! maia being at the bottom of the cuddle pile also. because she is adorable and everyone loves her and they just all kind of orbit around her instinctively because she is the sun. brb crying
she's just showered in all this affection and again, Pressure Good and they are all very careful to make sure she can breathe and it's comfortable for her and there are probably like a million pillows under her also (did meliorn summon them? that's their sexy little secret ;). yeah they did) so she's also comfortable and stuff, you know? and again lots of kisses and she's giggling like crazy and maybe they even tickle her because they are in fact the worst. she has no complaints
or like not as much pile but a long cuddle wall or something and maia in the middle so everyone is kind of leaning on her chest in a way and they're also all over each other and she gets to hold them all at the same time? nice
also see: cuddle wall but maia is at the very end lying on someone else's chest and getting her hair played with carefully and lovingly until she dozes off and gets some forehead kisses and they take A Billion Pictures of her all cuddled up and cute
and yess watching a movie so they're all cuddled up in the couch in the weirdest least practical position ever. half of them are leaning on each other, at least one is lying on everyone else's lap at once, meliorn is Literally Under The Cover, they can't see the fucking movie but they refuse to get out. none of them are watching the movie anyway, they're just bantering with each other
ohhh and like. during sukkot they all help build simon's sukkah and he just straight up has a room where the floor is all made of pillows and blankets and shit and it's just The Cuddle Room. so they all get to just lie there at the same time, in different cuddling positions (either all together or like... separated groups/pairs but still Together you know?). and yeah some of them get nasty and rapha is like "hmm time to go back to the hotel methinks" and they're like "no! we're sorry, we'll behave" and raphael's chest blooms with warmth that you know, him being there is more important. and they do behave daiojsda
basically... cuddle squad... we love to see it

One of the greatest tragedies in Bloodlines was that they had to abandon the Ivashkinator before we had a sydrian sex scene in it

Adrian Ivashkov: You’re a solid person, Sage. You’re easy on the eyes, if a little skinny, and your ability to memorize useless information is going to totally hook in some guy.
Also Adrian Ivashkov, around 3 minutes later, after putting on his clown makeup: “My God, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them?” That uncomfortable feeling was spreading over me again. “What about them?” “The color,” he breathed. “When you stand in the light. They’re amazing . . . like molten gold. I could paint those . . .” He reached toward me but then pulled back. “They’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.”

The end goal of representation politics, as flawed as it can be, isn't to abolish acting and to have characters only be played by people exactly like them. There's a specific history of oppression that makes certain things problematic. That's why whitewashing is a thing and blackwashing is not.
Cultural erasure is sad and disappointing, but the reason people don't treat it as something as bad as whitewashing is because it's categorically not, it does not have nearly the same history of violence attached to it.
The US doesn't have a history of minstrel shows about eastern Europeans. There isn't a problem with lack of pale skin representation. If what you're interested in is pale skin and not actually a complex portrayal of Slavic cultures, there's plenty of content for you out there.
There can be perfectly valid and respectful critiques, expressed politely. Russians have actually being demonized on Western media, so I understand wishing for a Russian actor, I did too. But it's more a matter of authenticity in the portrayal, having a different type of white guy play Dimitri is not whitewashing. But you can be wary about how good a job he can do, certainly.
As for Rose, I wish her Turkish ethnicity had been actually represented, and you can be black and have Turkish heritage at the same time. That would have been cool, but it's not the actress' background as far as I know. I don't know if casting would be different under different circumstances, without covid restrictions, but it is what it is. I wished she had been Turkish in the movie too, but I still watched it, and I think Sisi will make a beautiful Rose.
To be honest, a lot of Turkish people look white to me, but if their experience is racialized in the US I won't erase that. But I think they look white to a lot of people who are raging right now too, because lots of them are much more focused on the exact shade of Rose's skin than in her actual heritage, funny that. Or they're praising white actresses who are also not Turkish at all. Very intriguing. The things people will pretend to care about in order to dress up their racism in social justice language are astonishing.
And Lissa was never albino, btw. Would be cool to have more rep for that, but she wasn't it. Most other characters are American, and they're descended from Europeans because that's how white Americans work, it's stolen land, they aren't native to it.
Hopefully the writers of the show will do alot of research and know what they're talking about, and portray the slavic inspiration of the books in the respectful and complex way these beautiful cultures deserve.
But you know what other culture the books draw heavily from too? You know what these books written by an American woman that deal with racism as one of their central themes also take inspiration from? The culture and oppressive structures of the country she lived in her whole life.
The oppression suffered by dhampirs is very related to racism and specially antiblackness/misogynoir experienced by people in real life, so using their plight for inspiration while featuring next to no black people in the books isn't great. I'm happy they're changing that at least, it's an improvement. I think the themes of the books could be enhanced by these choices.
The same way, if we get to Bloodlines, if you're gonna have a conversion therapy inspired plot you should have more queer rep. If the main couple draws from the struggles faced by interracial and queer couples, there should be more representation.
The cast looks beautiful and I need to see them actually acting to know if they're good. You're allowed to care about external descriptions of the characters. But in my opinion capturing the spirit of the character is much more important, and real life sociopolitics should be taken into account.
You can't please everyone, and you're never gonna get exactly what's in your head. But most of the fandom is grown adults now, and you should be able to handle disappointment without having a breakdown or harassing anyone. Keep things civil.

Sydney Sage's actual job was to Gaslight people so she could Gatekeep the supernatural world, and she was a total Girlboss! Meaning she looked strong and hypercompetent, but she was part of an organization that was ultimately very problematic and that was doing some evil things like torture
Adrian Ivashkov: Manwhore, Manipulate, Malewife. Self-explanatory.

I love this, and I always have to spend at least half an hour searching every time I want to see it, so I'm posting it.
Bonus, also from Richelle's Twitter:
I'd love to know how the New Year's Eve party and Sydney's surprise party went ^_^
Did Adrian find a way to fake getting arrested? Did he go out and get himself arrested for real? Did Sydney know the whole time? We'll never know.

Watched Chicago and all I take from that is: Velma and Roxie should hook up. Enemies to lovers, hate sex, rivalry turned reluctant alliance, murder and mayhem, dance and jazz, 50k.
Also it must be absolutely fire on stage.

Get To Know You Tag Game
Last song I listened to was Reflections of My Heart by Jazzmeia Horn.
Currently watching Hannibal with Mads Mikkelsen. (He's beautiful, but the show is as exciting as watching paint dry).
Currently reading nothing. I'll offer this: My husband and I have recently rediscovered moviegoing again. We used to see about 40 movies in theaters each year, until the pandemic hit. Lately, we've been going again.
Currently obsessed with hot men with hairy chests.
Favorite colors run from limey, chartreuse greens through deep teals, and everything in between. See the board above.

Tagged by @tobeseentobefound (literal months ago, so thank you for tagging me and sorry this sat in my drafts for 500 years! <3)
(i’m tagging (and, as always, feel free to ignore if you don’t want to!): @tobythewise, @supercalime, @rapha-writes, @allducksloveloveloveme, @schmicosmalec, and anyone else who wants to do this, feel free to say I tagged you!! )
how has your day been: Surprisingly, not too bad! I didn’t sleep great and had to work all day, but work was pretty easy and all the people I had to deal with were super nice, and now i’m home drinking the champagne leftover from my birthday and doing a bit of reading and writing and Among Us stabby times, so all and all not a terrible Thursday!
the last thing that made you smile: An adorable kid at one of my tables today who, when it was time for him to leave with his dad, proclaimed very loudly: “WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE REAL QUICK” while trying to make his hasty escape from the booth he was in.
what’s keeping you entertained these days: Reading! Catching up on some of the fic I fell behind on while writing all October, and finally finishing TLBotW so I can read something else I have from the library before moving on to TDA! I”ve fallen into a habit of reading more than tv/movie watching which I didn’t realized I missed as much as I did until I picked it back up this year <3
if you’re in quarantine/ isolation, is there anything you’d like to achieve during this time: I’m not in an actual quarantine, there are just the normal mask restrictions and a curfew currently, but I did take some time off over the summer during which I actually finished the better part of a rough draft for an original novel, which was nice!
post a selfie if you want: Under the cut because that’s who I am as a person fjklsadjfl;ksa but I did just dye my hair a darker purple-tinted-blue that I’m l o v i n g
