Sixty Percent

A Sequel to Twenty Percent

Pairing: Spencer Reid x BAUfem!Reader

Category: Hurt/Comfort/Angst/Fluff

TW: eating disorders, eating disorder recovery, very frank language and discussions of body dysmorphia, discomfort with weight gain, fighting with family, worry about weight loss, and mentions of pregnancy

Key: A/N = Aunt’s Name; N/N = Nephew’s Name; S/N = Sister’s Name

This has been a long time coming. In terms of my own recovery, I’m not quite there yet, and I certainly don’t have as constant a support as living with a boyfriend like Spencer Reid, but things are better. I hope the best for you if this is something with which you’re also struggling. This is just three little scenes during Y/N’s recovery - all of them deeply personal and based on real life events (this is a very self-indulgent fic).

Hope you like it and all the love to you xx

~ Things tend to scream when dying. - Amalie Lee ~

You’re so quiet in the entryway to the kitchen that when Spencer turns and sees you standing there, he’s certain you’ve been there for quite a while. You’re not looking at him, but clearly have the intention of saying something to him. He decides to give you the time you still clearly need to say whatever you’re going to say and turns back to dry the last of the dishes from dinner.

“Um,” you finally begin to speak, “I know that, um...”

You trail off as Spencer slowly turns to fully face you, “Something wrong, bun?”

“Well...no, I guess...I-I guess not,” you decide. “I mean it’s just that....we just ate dinner.”

“Yeah,” Spencer agrees vaguely, leaning back against the counter to keep himself from rushing to your side. It had been a good dinner, or so he thought, at least. The two of you made it together. Nothing special, just tempeh, some roasted sweet potatoes, and crispy brussels sprouts. Simple, but nourishing, as all of your meals needed to be. “Did you not like it?”

“No, that’s not what-what I’m saying,” you quickly correct and you shake your head so vehemently and look so unsure of yourself that Spencer wants to curse himself for saying something like that. “It’s just that...um...I’ve been having this...craving.”

You almost whisper the last word, as though terrified to say it at all. Spencer tries not to smile, tries not to show how overjoyed he is that you’ve recognized a craving at all.

“Oh?” he asks jovially, trying to encourage you without sounding condescending, just as he does whenever you comment on something food related.

“Y-yes,” you stammer out, clearly determined to tell him. “For...granola.”

“Granola? Like...like the cereal?” he clarifies.

“Um, yes,” you continue, scratching behind your ear and still not quite meeting his eyes. “And I know it’s not breakfast time and...and I don’t really n-need it, but I really want some and I was wondering if we could...run to the store and get it?”

He tries not to be overly enthusiastic. You’ve begged him not to baby you and even your therapist told him to not overwhelm you with praise. But he’s so proud - so fucking proud - that you’ve not only recognized a food craving, but that you’re brave enough to ask him to honor it. He grabs his car keys from the hook next to the doorway as he crosses to you, wrapping an arm around you and pressing a kiss to your temple.

“Of course we can, my love,” he whispers, squeezing your hip as he does, hoping you can feel how ecstatic he is about this.

And it’s not incredible, really. It’s cereal - relatively healthy cereal at that. But as you pick a brand that isn’t weirdly packed with protein or overtly advertised as something healthy and even grab flavored almond milk to go with it - it feels like a huge shift.

And he isn’t condescending or overly babying about it. But as the two of you sit, knee to knee, watching tv over (miraculously unmeasured) bowls of granola and almond milk, Spencer can’t help the proud grin that sits on his face. It’s been a long year into eating disorder recovery with you. A long and, at times, absolutely terrifying year, but Spencer wouldn’t trade a moment of it, especially when it leads to moments like this.

~~~

One step forward, three steps back, so the saying goes. And nothing feels more like several steps back than dinners with your family. It isn’t that you have a bad family, you don’t. In fact, they’re lovely people and, really, truly, other than their strange lack of sensitivity surrounding your recovery, they’re a fantastic family. They aren’t pushy about your private life, they’re proud of the strides you’ve made in the FBI. All good, wonderful things. But it’s as though your need for support in recovery just doesn’t compute to them. Especially to your aunt.

Your Aunt A/N, who’s by far the pushiest person Spencer’s met in your family, doesn’t seem to get the required sensitivity of dealing with eating disorders at all. If he puts half a mind to profiling the situation, which he tries not to do out of respect to your family, Spencer could easily wager that a lot of her comments come out of living through the toxic environment of 90s and 2000s dieting culture. But it doesn’t really excuse the behavior.

It’s your nephew’s third birthday and you and Spencer make the drive to visit your family and celebrate. It’s actually been quite fun; the road trip was a delight, really, and every second with N/N and your family thus far has been really nice. But this dinner has been doomed form the start. You’d purchased a dress from a local vendor at an outdoor market in Philadelphia when the team had been stranded there on a case. Spencer thinks the off-white dress makes you look like a dream, you insist it makes you look like an ‘ugly potato’.

He hopes that the positive effect of spending the evening celebrating N/N will brighten your spirits. Your nephew is, obviously, thrilled to be in the spotlight, an entire treasure hunt set up just for him in your sister’s backyard. There’s a huge buffet of food and balloons and gifts and cake. It’s all very happy and sweet. But then A/N just has to speak.

“You’ve eaten an awful lot of watermelon tonight, Y/N,” she says unnecessarily as you finish off a small piece of the fruit from the buffet table. Even if he weren’t standing next to you, Spencer’s sure he could see your body freeze up as it does now.

“Don’t you know that stuff is packed with sugar?” your Aunt A/N continues, laughing patronizingly. “I thought you were supposed to be the healthy one around here.”

You smile tightly and look away from her, eyes brimming with tears.

“I’ll be back,” you whisper, partially to Spencer and partially to yourself, hurrying away to the bathroom inside. There’s a pause then, a brief moment where everyone realizes what’s happened. Your mother, sister, and father both look to Spencer, N/N wriggles his way out of your brother-in-law’s arms and runs over to Spencer.

“Where’s Aunt Y/N?” N/N asks sweetly, looking up at Spencer.

Spencer kneels down to the three year old, “She just needed to-”

“She’s being silly, N/N,” Aunt A/N interrupts, “and dramatic as usual.”

Spencer clenches his jaw and shuts his eyes determined not to say anything.

“Now, A/N,” your mother says gently, “you’re being unfair-”

“I’m being unfair?” A/N guffaws. “Y/N always does shit like this-”

“Please don’t curse in front of-”

“It’s not like he’ll remember any of this,” A/N cuts off your sister’s complaint. “And thank God he won’t remember his selfish Aunt Y/N being a crybaby because I-”

“Made a ridiculously rude and entirely unnecessary comment about her food,” Spencer states, standing abruptly and staring her down.

“Oh, come on,” A/N rolls her eyes dramatically. “She’s eaten, like, what? Half the watermelon-”

“She’s vegan,” Spencer corrects, his voice barely containing the anger burning in his throat. “There aren’t that many options for her here. No offense, S/N.”

“None taken,” your sister replies, smiling sadly. “I tried, but-”

“She liked the salad a lot,” Spencer reassures her before turning back to your aunt, “but she can’t eat any of the cake, so she ate some more of the watermelon. It shouldn’t matter to you what she eats any way. There’s absolutely no need for any commentary regarding what she eats.”

“Please, a little teasing about watermelon isn’t going to kill her,” A/N says far too casually for his liking. And Spencer tries, he really does, to keep in his temper. But he finds himself marching over to the woman, staring imperiously down at her.

“You’d think that, wouldn’t you? But it just so happens that Y/N is currently in eating disorder recovery and I know that may be hard to filter through your absurdly selfish brain, but that beautiful, incredible woman is working overtime every single day to relearn how best to fuel her body. If that means she gives into the craving of extra watermelon, then so be it. If that means she decides to eat nothing but cookies for a day, then so be it. If that means she quits being vegan and becomes a carnivore, then so be it. And it is your job to not say a single word about it. Any of it. Because, frankly, it’s none of your business,” Spencer explains as calmly as possible to the infuriating woman.

“You’re not even a part of this family, young man,” A/N attempts to fight back. “What gives you the right-”

“Y/N is the love of my life,” Spencer interrupts her again, his voice raising only slightly. “Which gives me every right in the world to tell idiotic people like you to keep their mouths shut about her recovery. Understood?”

To his delight, A/N looks rather ashamed and deeply uncomfortable. She looks to the rest of the family for support, but seeing none, finally looks back up at him sheepishly.

“Fine,” she grits out. “I’m...sorry.”

“Good,” Spencer replies just as bitterly. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go make sure you haven’t completely demolished the progress she’s been making.”

Spencer begins to exit the yard into the house, stopped only by your father’s hand on his arm.

“Mr. Y/L/N,” Spencer says, “I’m sorry I-”

“I was just going to thank you,” your father whispers, “for telling off A/N. And for taking care of my little girl. Especially through...this recovery stuff. I know it’s hard and that...that we’re not the best at it....she’s-she’s very lucky to have you.”

“It’s an honor, sir,” Spencer assures him. “An absolute honor.”

~~~

Spencer Reid is, rather unequivocally, a genius. However, he finds it irritating when people mistake his genius for an inexistent form of omnipotence. Sometimes it’s because the fact that he feels it cheapens his knowledge a bit; cheapens behavioral science, too. But sometimes, like right now, he’s annoyed because he doesn’t actually possess any real form of omnipotence, but he does possess almost preternaturally good profiling abilities. Meaning that he knows that something is wrong with you, but he doesn’t know what it is.

You are, by Spencer’s metrics - which are biased and he doesn’t care - the best girlfriend in the history of the world. He’s so proud of you for your progress in eating disorder recovery and delighted by every milestone the two of you have hit in your relationship. So, of course, him knowing you really well is expected, but, in moments like these where you’re clearly keeping a secret from him, it’s horrible because he knows absolutely everything about you and he knows that you’re being cagey and weird because you’re trying to keep a secret from him. It also doesn’t help that now, almost a year and a half into your relationship, he’s moved in with you. Which, in situtations such as these, means that Spencer has more awareness of you than ever before and yet - somehow - he still doesn’t know what’s going on.

He truly might lose it. Especially as you wriggle out of his regular post-case hug and catch up with JJ to ride back to the station, leaving Spencer to ride back with Derek and Hotch. He tries, he really does, to keep it together, but he’s so out of his mind with worry that he can barely think straight. And there’s plenty of reason to worry.

The truth is: you’ve gained weight. And he’s noticed, but it’s not a bad thing. It’s, in fact, a wonderful thing in eating disorder recovery. You’d gained some steady weight over the past year and a half, but you’ve recently put on a few pounds and - while Spencer wouldn’t care what size you are - he knows that it’s delicate balance, trying to sustain recovery and fight the havoc eating disorders can wreak on your mind.

He tries to hold it together, he really does, but the second everyone’s back at the station, he grabs your hand and pulls you to a storage closet away from the main office without any preamble. He pulls you into the closet, turns on the small light (that doesn’t really help much), gently pushes your back against the door and anchors his hands on either side of your head.

“Spencer, what are you-”

“What is going on, baby?” he asks sternly, looking down at you. “You have to tell me what’s going on.”

“S-spencer, I...” you trail off, looking away from him. He takes one of his hands from the door and tenderly tucks his index finger below your chin, tilting it to look at him.

“Are you breaking up with me?” he asks calmly.

Your eyes grow wide, “No, of course not-”

“Are you angry with me?” he asks, running through the list of possibilities in his head.

“Why would I be angry with-”

“There’s got to be something, Y/N,” Spencer cuts you off again, staring desperately into your eyes. “You’re keeping something from me and I don’t...I just want to make sure you’re alright.”

“Why wouldn’t I be alright, sweetheart?” you ask quietly, running your hands up his chest. “I’ve got you. I’m always alright.”

“Then what’s going on, honey? Because you’re keeping something from me. I know it,” Spencer searches your eyes, terrified when you open your mouth, only to close it again. He sighs, upset with what he needs to ask. “Is it...is it because you’ve...gained weight?”

Your eyes grow very large and he can feel your body tense up.

“Now, sweetheart,” he starts moving his hands to cup your face sweetly, “you know that that’s just part of recovery and-”

“You noticed?” you ask quietly, tears brimming in your eyes.

“Y-yes,” he answers uncertainly. “But I think it’s a wonderful thing. It is, right? It means you’re getting better and-”

“I’m pregnant,” you whisper, tears running down your cheeks.

Now it’s Spencer’s turn to freeze and he can feel his eyes growing as big as saucers.

You look up at him, eyes still filled with tears and uncertainty, “Spencer...is that...I mean, I’m sorry I didn’t....I-I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just...I mean, when I lost my period before it was because I wasn’t e-eating and-and then I was feeling...and I just...I took some tests and then I went to the doctor and...I didn’t want to hug you at the crime scene because I thought you might f-feel it and...I’m...well...Spencer, please, say something.”

But Spencer can’t say anything. There’s too many emotions happening for him to even contemplate forming a sentence. His eyes are filling with tears and there’s a smile growing on his lips and he finally slightly tightens his grip on your face tilting it upwards for a kiss.

He pulls away from the kiss and presses another to your hairline, leaning his forehead against yours a moment later, “You’re pregnant.”

“Yeah,” you whisper. “Is that okay?”

“Is that okay?” he asks back, not even trying to fight his huge grin. “Y/N...that’s...this is the most amazing thing I’ve ever...I love you so much, you know that?”

“So you’re...we’re going to have a baby?”

“Do you want to have a baby?” he asks sincerely, thumbs rubbing away at the tears still running down your cheeks.

“I think so,” you admit softly, a small smile growing on your own face, “yeah.”

“Then it looks like we’re going to have a baby, Mrs. Reid,” he teases, pressing another kiss to your hairline.

“That’s not my name,” you giggle, your own fingers working to wipe away at the tears Spencer didn’t even know were falling.

“Not yet,” Spencer teases, pulling you into a hug, “but I think it’s got a really nice ring to it, don’t you?”

You laugh, but then you’re quiet, pulling back only to look up at Spencer seriously, “I know that it’s been hard, this recovery stuff, but I have to start eating for-for two now. And that means...” you trail off, but Spencer gets your meaning. He pulls you into an impossibly gentle embrace.

“I know, my love,” he whispers into your hair, “but we’ll do it just like we’ve already been doing it: one day at a time.”

~ “The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.” - Abraham Lincoln ~

Which oc(s) embodies you the most and what are traits do they share with you?

Oh damn. I feel like all my ocs have little parts of me.

Rsejli stole my relationship with my parents. Oreya has my ideas about religion. Amali is filled with second hand fury. Leore is a dreamer and a peace keeper like me. Esryn is the part of me that wants to curl up and hide until everything is safe, but simultaneously knows that she has to make it safe for herself.

Larch has the mistakes I make trying to navigate friendship. Sazimin is the frantic voice that screams during group projects, and the wish for someone to listen to me. Tyla is the part of me who longs for love. They all have parts of me.

Okay hear me out hear me out I most relate to the Omnesi. I want to know and be everything, and realising that I can't is devastating to me. The difference between us is that the Omnesi is willing to go to many lengths to remain in power and with knowledge, while I am a mortal who has to settle for pushing and working so so hard at everything I can learn in the time I have.

Weekly Book Recs: 12/1/23-12/8/23

Any Duke in a Storm by Amalie Howard (out 1/09/2024)

Suffice to say, this pirate-adjacent romance between an icy spy and a rakish sailing master/maybe smuggler is hot and adventurous (in more ways than one). Read my full review here.

A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley

I really just love the Glimmer Falls world Sarah Hawley has set up. It's funny, whimsical, sexy, and surprisingly creative. I liked this one even more than the previous installment--primarily because it takes that book's demonic villain (who actually did some genuinely not-great stuff), gives him amnesia, and sends him on a roadtrip with an Amazonian witch lady who hates his guts. Strong girls/elegant guys lovers, this one is for you. You get a lot of humor, a lot of heart, and the line "demons eat ass?" which is really. Everything.

Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath

I finally broke the glass of Sins for All Seasons and ugh, this was such a great start. Personally, I'm partial to a "Bad Man is Out For Revenge and He'll Ruin Her To Get It, except wait She's So Pretty and Smells Good" plot. This nails that. It has an incredible hook of a prologue, and from there you get Mick Trewlove desperately trying to not fall in love with (one of) the target(s) of his wicked plans. And failing. Failing magnificently. Aslyn is also such an engaging heroine--feminine and seemingly weak, but with an undeniable core of dignity and inner strength that Mick just can't get over.

Facts about Molly (a character I made, inspired by a pairing a friend of mine; @kdo16, made!)

-- Due to her being partially human; her tendrils are smaller, capable of rapid growth, a bit rougher in texture, and there are a higher quantity of them on her head.

-- Her beak is smaller, but still visibly ridged. Still capable of lethal damage to armor/flesh.

-- In her human form; when she's granted the shape-shifting tech her dad uses, she begins fearing for her life. This happens whenever someone brings something sharp to her face, or general head area. This is because once she shifts back to her true form; part of her tendril(s) are severed/cut, and this is likely to cause severe pain.

-- She will not hesitate to violently humble someone in front of a crowd. You're the 'queen bee' being a bitch? You're reputation's done for; because when Molly's a teen, you'll get folded like a fucking lawn chair in the middle of the hall.

-- She has asthma; it's a birth defect, due to her being a product of cross-breeding. She's actually rather quick on her feet, but her terrible breathing prevents her from running (for long periods of time); this being the primary reason she hasn't taken track.

-- Molly's a lesbian! In her freshman year; she ends up dating her childhood best friend! Her girlfriend's a human girl named Amalie Oliver; she's from the Austria-Germany area!

-- Another thing that occurs in her freshman year is: She almost dies from a Hydrofluoric Acid-Burn to the right eye. One of her racist asshat-classmates throws a small vile of it at her face. The injury was bad enough to blind her right eye, and leave a knarly scar. (The story can be found on my alt Wattpad Account @weenus_time)

-- At age 14; she stands at 5'11.9! Almost six feet in height. She's incredibly self-consious after the Acid Incident mentioned above; disliking physical contact, unless you're someone she's known for a while. Even then, she's slightly hesitant.

#1, 6, 9, and 10 for the Deadfire ask meme?

What did your Watcher make of the Deadfire Archipelago? Was it their first time there, or had they been there previously?

Amali had never been to the Deadfire Archipelago before. The whole "Eothas stole my soul and the Wheel might break" did take most of her time while she was there, but she enjoyed herself immensely. She really took to becoming a ship captain and sailing around the islands. She thought it was a really beautiful place, and she was glad she got to see it, even if the circumstances (especially Caed Nua getting crushed and everyone dying).

6. What was your Watcher’s ship(’s) name(s)? Did they enjoy being Captain of a boat? Would they rather have been back at Caed Nua?

Amali had three ships: The Defiant, which is the starting ship. Her second ship was a dhow named The Valiant, which was the fastest of her ships. Finally, the last ship is a strong luxurious galleon called The Triumphant. Amali had a bit of a theme going on. When she started out, she didn't have many resources to take on Eothas, but she stayed determined or defiant of her situation*. When she got The Valiant, she was more sure of her situation and more eager to go on her adventures. And finally The Triumphant represented how much she has come to get to that point at the end of the game.

As much as she loves her boats and sailing around, Amali still misses Caed Nua. That place was her haunted baby. It was a nice and spooky place she could come back to and work on her art. She doesn't get that many chances to paint while captaining a ship (though she did come back with some amazing sketches!).

*I know the Defiant is already supposed to be a reference to Defiance Bay in the Dyrwood, but Amali had a theme going.

9. Which faction did your Watcher side with in the end, if any? Was there a particular reasoning behind their decision?

Amali sided with the Huana. By all rights, the islands belong to the people already living there. Everyone else is basically a colonizer.

That being said, Amali didn't agree with everything Queen Onekaza wanted her to do. Amali refused to blow up the Rauatai powder warehouse. She managed to resolve that by killing Hazanui Karū in self-defense.

10. Where do you imagine your Watcher’s life takes them after the events of Deadfire?

Amali returns to rebuild Caed Nua. It was a good place to live, and the study of Animancy is still new and growing, something she is very interested in. She returns to her castle to set up her studio once more, and restart her spider collection. Dark spooky places are more her style.

FANFIC TITLE: How do I say "I love you" in Rito? [WRITTEN 17 JUN 2023] 1/1 Chapters

FANDOM: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom RELATIONSHIP(S): Link & Revali (Legend of Zelda) , Amali & Link (Legend of Zelda) , Amali & Cree & Genli & Kass & Kheel & Kotts & Link & Notts (Legend of Zelda) REMINDER: Character/Character = Romantic, Character & Character = Platonic.

SUMMARY: Link doesn't know how he got here- essentially adopted by the Rito and cared for as if he was truly one of their own.

But now he wants to learn how to communicate with them, just like how they learned to sign for him.

So... He learns how to chirp. And perhaps- a certain Champion will be pleasantly surprised by that. LINK: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47932039 REMEMBER! Always read tags before reading! I don't typically involve the tags on the tumblr post just so I don't clog up tags and or make the post too long. Be reassured however that none of my fanfics are explicit or involve anything NSFW. But still do check tags as a majority are Hurt/Comfort and can involve something possibly triggering to others.

Dark fact about every main character in the Christmas Kids AU

TW for child abuse, extreme violence and mentions of suicide.

William: Don’t know if I can say anything not inherent to him being William aside from the thing about him trying to steal a dead raccoon’s guts as a kid.

Michael: Attempted to, shall we say, follow his siblings’ footsteps around 1985. Survived, obviously, and this was part of when Michael finally began to lean on the people reaching out to him.

Amalie: Ok she’s a minor character but she never got to see her children’s bodies. She was told as little of what happened to them as the general public. Elizabeth was missing, and Cassidy died in an accident. That was all she ever knew her whole life.

Elizabeth: I have no intent to compare the siblings’ trauma, but Elizabeth being isolated from her brothers and abused by William fucked her up bad. She became a compulsive liar and people pleaser, and ended up with BPD. She tended to fawn over those she wanted to love her as a coping mechanism making her even more susceptible to her father’s abuse.

Cassidy: Most likely wouldn’t have lived very long even without the bite. William would’ve decided Cassidy wasn’t “fit” to live sooner or later.

Charlie: While Charlie was a sweet girl who took it upon herself to look out for those who couldn’t look out for themselves, she was never treated with that same kindness. The children who locked her out of the restaurant the day she died were her primary bullies, who she considered some of her best friends.

Susie: She saw her dog get run over. She threw his favorite toy out a bit too far when they were playing on a rainy night, and he chased it into the street. She followed William because she wanted to believe he was still there, and it wasn’t her fault. Her throat was slit, and her face mangled so if her corpse was found it couldn’t be recognized.

Jeremy: William set up a “puzzle game” for him and Gabriel, his best friend and basically his brother. Jeremy, excited by the game, ran straight into the trap. He was stabbed three times before having his throat slit and dying. His face was torn up similarly.

Gabriel: He was stabbed almost fifteen times before he finally died. The one blow he took after death was straight through his face.

Mitzi/Fritz: Her cause of death was similar to Cassidy, though a far less gruesome head trauma. William attempted to kill her the same as the others, but she refused to go down without a fight. She made a huge scene, pounding at the walls, kicking and punching William, and even managed to knock the knife out of his hand and run away. She didn’t get very far, though, before William, panicked and angry at her resistance, reached for her and got his hands around her pigtails. Her head was beaten against a wall until she passed out, at which point William stabbed her to “finish her off”, however the head trauma was actually what killed her.

Henry Emily: The darkest fact of all is that I somehow have not fleshed him out yet.

Jeremy Fitzgerald: Cassidy saw the Freddy masked bully in him, which is why his agony drove Toy Chica to bite him. Whether he’s the Freddy bully or unrelated I’m not sure, but I kind of like the parallel of him being the Freddy bully, I just also like the BC Jeremy so-

Scott Leskowitz (Phone Guy): It took him several hours to die in the Bonnie suit Cassidy stuffed him in. His death and the time it took knowing no one was going to help him was practically like being tortured, his body barely held together from dismemberment, and he’d begun to wonder if he’d ever die by the time it finally happened. He knew about the MCI, and realized as he was dying that he would be killed to keep it under wraps if that was what was needed. If calling him insane and gaslighting him over his schizophrenia saying he made it all up wasn’t enough because he was still alive and still knew, then this was how it was going to fucking end.

Caleb Martz: The vengeful spirits often target him for “rebirthing” Springtrap, making his life a living hell.

Vanessa: She acts as almost a mother figure to Gregory due to their own mother being neglectful and abandoning Gregory as a child. While she did lie to her therapist about her trauma, claiming her trauma matched Jesse’s, she still had a sucky childhood as she was neglected by her mother and learned to shrug off her trauma to cope. Furthermore, she was also taken advantage of by a partner in her teen years, and completely distances herself from it to the point of joking about it and insisting “no, it’s funny” so she doesn’t have to feel the pain.

Gregory: Has somniphobia and extreme fear of vulnerability. He tends to break down when he has to be emotionally vulnerable to others.

Jennifer: Her mother died shortly after her parents’ divorce. It was determined she had gotten drunk and died in a self inflicted car crash. Her dad conditioned her to believe this was her fault. She carries a ton of guilt over all these incidents and traumas that weren’t her fault.

Other random not-dark fact: Vanny and Vanessa are parallels to Caleb and Michael. Michael also serves as a similar figure to Gregory as Charlie did to the missing children, especially Cassidy. (Gregory is an obvious parallel to Cassidy lmao)

For everyone else I was like "oh my god, that's horrible" but for Vanessa I was like "hahaha, I do that :D"

#i also make uncomfortable jokes about my trauma to deflect pain #asks #answered #valleyfthdolls

HELLO BROTHER SLATTERNLY I desire to know more of your Urge...

What circumstances led to your Dark Urge becoming their Class/Subclass?

4. What would your Dark Urge consider to be their greatest flaw? Is this accurate?

20. Is your Dark Urge open about their Urge or do they try to hide it? Why?

I am the most slatternly but also the most ROTUND you have forgotten my title sister (ily) 1: Dante is a paladin of vengeance. Basically, he was a failed product. He was about eleven or twelve when he finally failed a test, and at that point the choices were either destruction or expulsion. He chose expulsion, orin chose to put a knife in his head and wriggle it around a little, so when he woke up and figured out what had happened like, five years later he decided he was going to kill her. honestly, the vengeance part is what gives him cool magic powers, but he spends his time hunting down other Bhaalspawn until he meets amalis (@zeowynda 's baby) and realises that someone else is resisting the urge just like him. so the vengeance turns to oath of the crown, with his sister at the centre. 4. He thinks his greatest flaw is that he can't contradict his own nature, sure but also that he tends to forgive too easily. He gets into a lot of trouble because he just lets people get away with shit, which is inherently tied into what he learned as a child and how he figured out how to function post scrambling. 20. Dante has to be open about it, but he's also open about how he channels it into other stuff. He's not The Dark Urge, doesn't have a horrible little butler man, but he does have the need to crush people's skulls with a giant hammer every once in a while. Mostly, while he acknowledges what's happening, he tends to grip onto a surprisingly strong willpower to power through. It does result, however, in things like telling Kagha exactly what he wants to do to her insides before forcing himself to stop strangling her.
