I had a dream where a extra chapter was released where Ray, Emma, and Norman had a pretend wedding when they were 9. The whole thing was a joke but when they got to Rays vows they were genuinely so moving and heartfelt yet out of the blue and I wanted to cry. For their fake wedding they used a white Lilly of the valley. They placed the Lilly in a vase. Then the chapter turned to a zooming out panel. The setting changed to post Norman's shipment in the dining hall, that in the same exact vase was a wilted, bright red flower next to where Ray was sitting. The chapter ended with;

"Till death do us part."

And then I woke up and cried for 3 hours

Dramatic-ass baby (he would though; Norman too jdfkkdh </3)

Always thinking about @poolboyatthevampiiremansion's one-shot w.a.m.s. where they have a play wedding that they end up treating as legit and highly encourage any REN enthusiasts to give it a read (coincidentally it just had its first anniversary yesterday 🎉)

Like Isabella gets them rings to use that they end up keeping even post-escape?? Mine fucking ass???

Also Emma uses the music box Isabella gave her as the musical accompaniment to their ceremony I

More gushing below the cut:

Bruh 🥺🤧😭 Olympic medal mental gymnast in order to maintain her sanity. Heart ripped in two in the first section alone.

Emma is still so young here and she’s not hitting the 300 marks like Norman yet, but there’s such a vitality to her that’s firmly nestled itself into Isabella’s heart, bittersweetness and all with how she reminds her of her young, warm, outgoing self we see in the flashbacks with Leslie in the second light novel. Love how this is brought out here with little touches like this. Combined with how Emma is one of the first children she’s raised completely by herself as a mom, Isabella allows herself to feel more attachment and hope with her and probably commits moments like this to memory even after her near five years at the house.

The softness she regards them with, almost proto-shoujo bubbles. 🖤🫧🧡🫧🤍

Norman, adorably, hesitating because he’s still grappling with latent feelings he can’t even begin to articulate about his friends, but at the forefront of them is how he unquestionably gravitates to them and is attune to all their little nuances.

Ray, heartbreakingly, hesitating because he’s grappling with the reality he’s beginning to comprehend and the crushing acceptance that he can’t save all his siblings as things stand now, and after already narrowing it down to just Emma and Norman, being faced with the question of if he could honestly live with himself if he chose one to save over the other. The conclusion he comes to further bolsters his resolve to confront Isabella in just a few short weeks, and foreshadows the devastation of Norman’s shipment after a lifetime of realization and meticulous planning.

Really like the quiet magnitude of this both for Emma and Norman’s blissful unawareness of the farm system’s horrors conceived for them and ofc from the future romantic perspective as being the core foundational tenant of REN. 🖤🧡🤍

LITTLE BABY BOY BEING SO BABY EMBARRASSED AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH >///< 🤍🤍 AND SHE MADE THEM FLOWER RINGS?? HEART SWELL HEART SWELL SHE LOVES HER BOYS SM 🖤🧡🤍

And to his credit this is a very speedy recovery for him lol

Love the balance between Norman’s blatant feelings for Emma everyone but her is fully aware of with his burgeoning subconscious ones he holds for Ray (he was playing with or calmly stroking his hair I’m?? qwq the counterpoint to this is obs that boys should be allowed to be innocently intimate like this in a world where so many men are touch-starved due to societal conventions, but with the awareness of endgame REN, love those little gestures of comfort that cement each other as their home that transcend the physical boundary of two worlds.)

and oml if Isabella ever let him touch her hair at any point I wonder if he subconsciously makes the link between them, god I love pain

BIG SIS OLIVIA MOMENTS!!! BIG SIS OLIVIA MOMENTS TOWARD EMMA THE LITTLE EXCITABLE POOFBALL!!! healing |33 love thinking about all the habits the trio might have picked up from their older siblings.

I abuse the phrase “adorable imagery” so much in my review of this fic, but they are so fucking cute, and it makes the ending of the sentence with Isabella hit even harder fucking sobbing, clawing at the furniture, eating the drywall; such an excellent choice 🤧

Baby going through an existential crisis but still trying to be present for his bffs/soon-to-be spouses and genuinely finding some solace in these moments with them that’ll solidify his resolve to confront Isabella in just a few days.

And being rewarded with a trademark Norman Smile™. I need a moment—

The masochist in me wonders if Ray ever looked down at his ring during his confrontation with Isabella at the gate, and if she picked up then that Emma and Norman were the reasons he was doing all of this. Not as like blackmail or anything since none of them were ever in danger of being shipped out with their scores even before Ray pulled his up and helped Emma with hers so he’d call any bluff she made on that front, but you know, just something she’d muse about as another layer of her tumultuous relationship with her son and wondering if she had a similar ceremony with Leslie when they were children, if that would have made her feel worse or if it might have provided him with more comfort in his final moments.

Anyways, when you’re the absolute biggest softie who loves your bffs more than anything but you’re trying not to look like the absolute biggest softie qwq (I’m sure Isabella noted that, too, how he asked for three chains instead of just two when he could have explained it away to Emma and Norman that he could only find two for them and he’d just make do without one.)

FUCK FUCK FUCK this is such an agonizing choice because as far as he knows, the ring is just going to be tossed out, and he didn’t know what Ray was doing with the photographs, so he could have reasoned it was something to remember him by and left it behind, coming to the conclusion he was being selfish by keeping it.

But we love a little selfish genius boy (since he’s not really being selfish but is just one for the dramatics) and I love how he made that conscious decision to hold on to it as a commitment to that love. Also makes him leaving the cups with Isabella hurt a bit less. </3

Good god though all the times he probably held onto it or at least rested his hand on it like when he approached the truck at the gate before Isabella escorted him into the side room, or possibly one of the times they made him remove it if they put him under when giving him the Lambda brand. _(:△」∠)_ I am completely fine.

Minerva, the man, the myth, the legend, can have two loves, as a treat. Builds up the mystique flkjlskddf 🧡🤍🖤

WE LOVE A POLY POSITIVE LAMBDA CREW 👏👏👏

“this little guy came in and razed Lambda to the ground along with a handful of other farms in the span of a few short months, is going to wipe out all the demons that have preyed upon humans for centuries, and loves two people with all his heart because he just has so much love to give. he is a god there is nothing he can’t do. :)”

I REPEAT HE IS SUCH A DRAMATIC MF I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

“flimsy” aaaaaah that he was so protective over not only the ring itself, but also the chain when he undoubtedly could have found a replacement one at some point since escaping Lambda. The commitment to keeping it all intact for when he saw them again and his exposing it and laying all of that bare for Emma to eventually pick up on acting as a reflection of the first time he could feel this open and vulnerable again since being shipped (not entirely ofc, but still)

I wondered if canon was going to be retooled for this scene to have Ray in the room with Emma for the initial reveal instead of having him come in with the rest of the group, but I think Norman being so overwhelmed by Ray being alive when he knew Ray had committed himself to dying for them works to make it canon compliant, given the resolute look we see him give Ray in that short montage cut from S1e11. Even if he wasn’t aware of how much self-loathing Ray held for himself like Emma discovered, it’s still an emotional experience, knowing he spent years valuing his life only so much as it could be used to facilitate their escape without seeing how he enriched his and Emma's lives.

It makes the choice to use the translation of “I’m glad I’m alive!” as opposed to “I’m glad you're alive!” for Ray’s response even more poignant. 🖤

i cannot believe he is keeping this up like bro, they know you love them, bro, you are so transparent, bro, that said never change, bro

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 when the REN so real it transcends the mortal plane 🖤🧡🤍🙏

oh I love how in character this feels with that silent yet unconditional love grounded in physical touch (along with gifts and acts of service being his preferred love languages). With how many times he questioned his memories before confronting Isabella and now after almost two years of believing Norman was dead, there’s even more comfort to be found there in just being able to hold on to them.

me at Norman being comfortable enough to tear up in front of them after almost two years of resolutely refusing to show his tears to anyone else, either out of pride, spite, or attempting to project a façade of strength and power, and Ray after a lifetime at Grace Field where every emotional response had to be regulated and measured qwq

All incredibly tender; I remain deceased even a year after its publication

core pleeeease what's your other brainworms <finally knows how to ask itself

OMG HELLO CHERNY THE BELOVED!!! omg….i’ve already rambled about fallen angel ash and red in the discord so ^_^ gonna be talking about my thoughts abt lifesteal and embroidery!!

basically, i hc that although every single ls member can sew, but more complex stuff like pattern making (or doing anything that isn’t basic hand sewing for basic repairs LOL) varies wildly between each member. as a result, embroidery on clothing and patches would be a huge sign of dedication and loyalty because t shows that you took time out of your day to make something for the other person, and that usually means you’ll do other things for them as well ^_^ like. cool sign of loyalty that u can show off visually. so its fun to hc what alliances have what patches and who made them!!

anyways because i’m #biased i also hc that the more hearts and resources you have, the more time you have to dedicate to things that aren’t resources or getting hearts ^_^ so id imagine the brim of reds hat is full of embroidery from himself (and there’s a purple rose that’s noticeably out of style in comparison to the rest of the hat, but red doesnt draw much attention to it. usually)

#mcyt #lifesteal smp #reddoons #tw caps #media.warning.caps #anyways. also i hc that Depending on the region they come from they have diff embroidery styles #<- this. this ties into a Huge hc thing that i have that isn’t even ls anymore #like. if u know valley of serenity its kinda like that in terms of world building #so ya. i hc red to be from the nether so he’d have a lot of beaded embroidery as a result ^_^#while ash is from the over world but travels to the end a lot so his is w string #so ya!!! dats fun. i still need to finish up my notes on it but i’m glad 2 answer any questions ppl have !!!#ty for da ask :) <3 #mailbox.core

tell me about your current favourite hobby

-rei (poisonedfate)

Hi! That's a cool question.

Hmm well about two months ago I started a little souvenir journal for collecting memories in, so I keep a glue-stick in my pocket now when I go places. That way I can pull my notebook out and immediately glue in train tickets, pressed flowers, pub coasters, notes from my classes, etc. inside as I need. It's been super fun to put together and honestly I hope I continue to keep up with it!! The inside is a little eclectic now because there's so many random items inside but I like it that way-- gives character :)

What’s the worst habit you have that rewards you the most? (4 ash!)

LOADED QUESTIONS / INTERVIEW THE MUSE.

“ WELL, YA’ SEE, according to SOME squares folks, I have this god awful habit of bein’ too damn COOL. I’m like a damn ICE bath over here. “ Laughter in his voice: “ They can’t handle me ! “ What he’s actually referring to is his tendency to purposefully behave as the most OBNOXIOUS person on the whole damn planet. Spewing crude and often perverted things, acting like the textbook definition of a PARTY ANIMAL, and overall just acting like a complete IDIOT ( ok so maybe that part wasn’t entirely on purpose…shhhh ). In a life where he often lost people and was often disbelieved when trying to express his grief, it seemed like the only feasible method of SHIELDING himself. If no one wanted to hang around him because of his attitude, then he had nothing to worry about ! Right ?

“ All that means, though, is that all the AWESOME AS ALL HELL people are the only ones that stick around after the party. Know what I’m sayin’ ? “ Yes, he put up this front in an attempt to drive others away. Except, it seems that all it’s done is cause a select few others to GRAVITATE towards him, so stick around and all but INSIST on staying. Despite his awful behaviour and all of the blood, guts, gore and DEATH, they still chose to stay. Definitely wasn’t what he was looking for, but hey ! He’ll take this reward. The universe offers him so few these days, he might as well, right ?

#ASH WILLIAMS. / IC.#ANON.#ASK.#( I HAD THIS ALL TYPED UP THEN DELETED IT LIKE A DUMBASS AUUGH SO I HAD 2 RETYPE #anyway ty for this gKJGHJKFGH very interesting question for sb like ash <3 #his defense mechanism of acting like just the world's most annoying guy is v near & dear to me & my love #for his character so im v glad i had an excuse to mention it!! )

i'd also like 1, 3, and 16 from the oc interview questions for iryna please!! 💖💖

EEEK AJ HI HI DEAR 🥀✨😖 ty ty so much i adore u and i hope ur doing well!

OC INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. who makes up your family? how close are you to them?

"who are you FEDRA? what's it to you?......" she leans forward scowling at the interviewer before shrugging. "nah i'm just fucking with you i don't care. shit it's been a while which may be.... telling on the latter part... well, there was me of course OBVIOUSLY, my parents i think are still back in the new york QZ, and then there's persey. christ i hope that little idiot is still alive. bean pole buffoon.... no really, he's like... 6'4-6'5. ondria didn't bust her ass for the giggles bringing our sorry hind ends to seattle..... swear to god. ondria knew and DOES know before the outbreak how bad i was with reaching out. better with persey than mother and daddy dearest im afraid." she sighs.

3. what is your favorite childhood memory?

the interviewer motions iryna to continue on, swearing it was pulling teeth alone to get her to come here, they're just questions not the infected. "curse my leo moon little attention reveling snake......" she really does love to talk about herself though even if she tries to hide it, "well i would have to say when i told persey that obi wan kenobi ate all of the salt and vinegar chips when it had been me all along and he didn't trust his obi wan action figure from age five to age ten..... loved messing with him good times, BUT. so before the outbreak of the killer mushrooms right, my cousins had this estate (the litvinchucks were RICH, rich) in like switzerland before they moved to dc cause their dad was this big deal nobel prize winning doctor okay, they flew us out for a christmas one year and like, their home was OLD. so i think? i was eleven? and sasha and i did like a seance or something and talked to the ghosts in the house. it was fucking fantastic. pity he's a serial killer now with a cult following but yea, that was a favorite."

16. describe your perfect day.

"am i getting paid for this? im getting paid right. if olga fixes the world and finds a cure for the killer mushrooms i need money for rent..... kidding im having fun i promise but also, i do like money." the interviewer sighs and hands her the check, "fucking sick." she pockets it, "i would have said for the longest time some damn peace and quiet right. nobody bothering me, and its me and my vasil my cat and some oil paints and like..... idk deftones or slipknot playing because music helps drown out the city noise and lets me paint. but the world ended and lately uh....... and this was a fucking shocker for me. like... i showed up to find my next hidey hole here and then i met raul so like...... i guess that but also we're doing that together and theres no city noise and so maybe the music isnt as loud because ive learned that wave sounds are fucking soothing so...... GROSS THAT SOUNDS ROMANTIC but you know what i dont care. so i blame him for that but yea, thats the ideal day i guess."

hello hello!! 24, 25, 49 🥰

hello hello! sorry for the delay asldkfj

24. if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

we would be frantically looking up poetry verses to try to out-devastate the other also we would be enjoying a little treat be it a milk tea or ice cream or other delight of the world

25. perfume/body spray or lotion?

I'm not a very perfume-y person and I don't love lotion but it's necessary in the winter, I use the lightest one aveeno makes (the ultra sheer light something?) because I don't like the thick texture of lotion that just sits on top of your skin aslkdfjs. but scent-wise for these things if the texture didn't bother me I'd like more floral or citrus-y scents!

49. can you skip rocks?

does one skip count probably but I haven't done it in years? I think the most I ever got was probably five or six? I probably average two to three though

this has turned into drunk ask night (morning)

#sponsored by aveeno asldkfjs just kidding it's the only one i've found that dries / absorbs (?) quickly enough #so i use it as face and body lotion shhh don't tell the ppl who care about that difference #also hiii ash ty for asking <3 #hope you're doing well <3 #asks

!! love your god au

would love to hear more about it

cults and symbolism my beloved

omg....and i'll be glad to talk abt it!

anyways i think that ash is more an import god (so as a result a lot of his myths would be him coming from somewhere long away and plus. have a bit more influence as his cult would travel to more places) and since him and red had similar-ish purposes, ash would be a secondary figure that was worshiped in the cult (and vice versa), but they'd still be their own thing bc i think they'd tackle the same stuff but differently

like i have this image in my head that ash would be a sign of death/war, while red's would be about rebirth/physical strength--similar concepts, but different ways they tackle it as you'd be more likely to worship ash is you were a war general but you'd be more likely to worship red if you were a warrior ^_^ i think that's why they'd stay separate (also because i don't like the idea of them being split off from another god or merging into 1 god bc the implications of that are uh. swagdoons would Not work well with that i think)

but ya! :D i also like the idea of them being associated with the underworld somehow, i haven't thought of creation myths for them but i just think it would be sick as hell (ba dum tss) and fit their general vibes!

#swagdoons #mcyt #guess which greek gods i based them off of (easy)#but yeah this au is very much. ancient greek inspired #because i watched too much osp #but ya ^_^ i mentioned that thanos and zagreus in another post and i think you can. Tell that #in general i assoicate red with revival/multiple lifetimes anyways so. him being semi inspired by zag was kinda inevitable #and uh. ash and death. the aesthetic rocks and plus i think he deserves a big scythe to reap souls with #but ya on top of that both of them r kinda inspired by ares and dionysus ^_^#bc like. u cannot look me in the eyes and say that their cults wouldn't have crazy parties #where theyd get. yk. high and drunk or whatever #<- ignore outsiders for that one /silly #but ya the money and wealth thing was just inspired by vibes tbh. they deserve to worship gold i think #so ya! ^_^ thats some fun behind the scenes stuff!!#ty for ur ask anon! :D <3 #into the pantheon #mailbox.core
