⋆𐙚₊˚ | featuring: charles chevalier

⋆𐙚₊˚ | setting: you just joined the french soccer club, PXG - where you met the person who would change your life forever.

⋆𐙚₊˚ | A/N: guys I swear I didn’t mean to not post……………. Maybe…. btw reader is around the same age as Charles for obvious reasons.. also tell me if yall want this to become a series lol, but ts is js a short fic for now

⋆𐙚₊˚ | tags: @ihe4rtme

You took a deep breath as you entered the group bus. It had been a long day, and at this point, you just wanted to go home and sleep. You had done nothing but train all day - and it was especially embarrassing because you didn’t talk to anyone and nobody really talked to you, despite you being the new recruit. It made you a little sad, but you refused to let a couple of questionable humans from the male species ruin your day.

You made sure to ignore your teammates and chose to sit in the back of the bus, away from everyone else. It’s not like you were TRYING to be mean - you just didn’t want to talk to anyone right now. Maybe it’s just because you’re naturally introverted? You didn’t know.

With a small sigh, you plopped yourself down on one of the seats and waited for your stop. You grabbed your phone and then headphones, turned on your headphones and connected them to your phone. You took a small pause to think about what song to listen to and daydream with, and you ended up picking ‘Harvey’ by hers.

One or two minutes passed, maybe more - you couldn’t really tell, when suddenly, you felt a presence right next to you. You paused, clicking your tongue in clear annoyance before turning to whatever teammate decided to ruin your day today.

“Hey! Hi! You can’t speak french, right? Don’t mind my accent! What’s your name??” You paused. That voice sounded familiar. Too familiar. Well no shit it sounds familiar, you spent the whole day with your teammates - but there was ONE specific teammate you dreaded to speak with. Charles fucking chevalier.

He was the number one example for ‘annoying’. A little brat who couldn’t mind his own business. Sure you were younger than him by a few months, but point still stands. He’s insufferable.

“…my name is [name]. Didn’t you listen during introductions?” You snarled back. He simply smirked and giggled out a, “nuh-uh! That’s boring!” You groaned at his reply - of course he’d find it boring. “You’re boring.” You let out, mumbling it under your breath like you’re saying a ritual. “Hah?” He propped up, feigning confusion despite hearing your every word.

“I said nothing.” You lied, rolling your eyes again before looking out the window after a while, hoping he’d get the hint and leave. Which apparently wasn’t the case because he was a fucking idiot.

“Hey, hey! What are you listening to!?” He shot you a smile, or a grin? What’s the difference again…? Never mind. You turned your head to glare at him before answering his question, “… well I WAS listening to harvey by hers but now I’m listening to daylight by taylor swift.” You didn’t know why you answered him, really. It was none of his business, much less your responsibility to respond to his questions - or rather - his demands.

“Really? My favorite song is En nuit by videoclub!” He beamed back at you. You paused, not knowing why he told you that despite you having no use for this information. “..why would I need to know that?” You commented about what he had said, before he replied to your comment with a cheeky, “well, isn’t it obvious? It’s to get to know each other, silly!” He smirked, his sharp tooth poking out. You stopped, perplexed. “..if you want to know more about me, just read my info or something. I don’t get why you have to ask me directly.”

He paused, looking at you as if you were crazy. Why would he do that if he can just ask you directly? It was stupid! “Hm.. well i’m a contrarian, so no!” He beamed, and you groaned in response. Your eyes flickered from his face to the next stop, which, THANKFULLY, was yours. You stood up, eyeing him before saying, “this is my stop.” You said simply. Like a fact. And you paused when you saw Charles’s face.

He was surprised.

You looked at him for a second, before he said, “hah, really!? It’s mine too! Let’s go, let’s go!”

.

.

.

You wanted to die. Was he being sarcastic? Surely he was, right? I mean, it couldn’t be possible.. RIGHT? SURELY?? YOU NEVER SAW HIM AROUND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

You paused, eyes wide, before going, “..are you serious? Please tell me you aren’t serious.” You said, feeling your life draining away at the sentence charles had just uttered. “Nope! Come on, come on!”

You don’t think you’ll survive this.

[corneille-moisie]

is it because english is waaay less gendered than french that i consider she and he as less very, very gendered than elle and il ?

[translatingpostsinfrench]

can you provide any more. uh. vocabularies gay en français? (tried to ask in french, but couldn't make heads or tails of how to structure questions haha)

you don't know how big is my smile is right now

1. the basics of gender, sexuality and romantic labels

tldr: its the same as in english but with a french accent. really, once you know how to say "sexual", "romantic" and "gender", you just add the prefix of your choice and voilà. to make it even easier, those words are VERY close to their english counterparts:

sexual = sexuel.le -> homosexuel.le, bisexuel.le...

romantic = romantique -> aromantique, panromantique...

gender = genre -> transgenre, bigenre...

but in the end, still like in english, we often shorten these words to their prefix alone: "je suis bi", "il est aro"...

and if you wonder about labels which don't follow this structure, i suggest you look it up for yourself, but there's still a 98% chance the term is The Same With a French Accent, exemples:

gay = gay (i shit you not)

lesbian = lesbienne

sapphic = sapphique

achillean = achilléen

non binary = non binaire

c'est vraiment aussi simple que ça :)

2. how to fuck this binary shit

if you're familiar with french, you probably know it's a gendered language, and maybe wonder how you can speak about people who don't wish to be gendered as masc or fem. the answer is inclusive writing (écriture inclusive), which i actually already showed you above, see:

fem form: bisexuelle

masc form: bisexuel

inclusive form: bisexuel.le

works the same for gendered nouns:

fem form: musicienne

masc form: musicien

inclusive form: musicien.ne

as you can see, in most cases, you can obtain the inclusive form of a word by combining their masc and fem form and a "separator" . i chose to use a simple period, but a hyphen or median point ("·" <- this thing) and probably more* can also be used - edit after seeing comments : take note that using a dot can sometimes fuck up screen readers and also be read as a website url!

in other cases (especially for words ending in -eux/-euse or -teur/-trice), inclusive form can be obtained by smashing the fem and masc form all together:

fem form: actrice

masc form: acteur

inclusive form: acteurice

*however, i need you to keep in mind

i am not a french teacher, just trying my best to explain a pretty complex mess. @ french speakers, if you see any mistake or anything i missed, please speak up.

inclusive writing is still being heavily debated, so it has no official guidelines, tbh even i freestyle it whenever i'm too lazy to look up how i should write something. is "lea" the correct inclusive form for "le/la"? fuck if i know but i sure will use it because who even knows.

and ofc inclusive writing is not only useful for non binary people, but also a tool for feminism that allows to get past the "masculine wins" rule (= when writing plurals, if a single item/person in the group is masc, the entire group must be gendered as such)!

3. mmh pronpuns

again, if you know french, you know we have no equivalent to "they" as even the plural forms for "she" and "he" are gendered. so there goes your only option if you're uninterested in either of those : neopronouns, my beloveds.

the most common one (and the one you should use when unsure of a person's gender or paired with inclusive writing to fuck that "masculine wins" shit) : iel, iels for plural. some other french neopronouns i saw include ael, ul, ol, ille, xel... but feel free to make your own up, this is what neopronouns are about. btw les francophones je suis curieux.se, si vous utilisez d'autres pronoms que elle/il/iel, dites moi quoi !

4. important!

faggot = pédé (there are SO MANY synonyms but i'll just give you the most common)

dyke = gouine (alternatively : goudou)

tranny = travelot (trav for short)

[cheeseceli]

You speak another language

Pairing: Ot8!skz × Gn!Reader

Genre: fluff, reaction

Warnings: mention of food at Lee Know and Felix's, I think that's it?

Request: how do you think ot8 would react to the reader speaking in their native language? Especially if it's not korean/english?

A/n: It's embarrassing the amount of time I took to write this one💀 the worst part is that I actually spent every week tryna find the best way of putting all my ideas together. Hope you like it anyways!

Bang Chan

‌Would have a pet name for you in your mother tongue

‌ Like idk if you speak spanish his nickname for you would be "mi amor"

‌Finds it really attractive btw

‌When you're speaking your mother tongue he sees just how much comfortable you are

‌You literally shine in his eyes

‌He'd just be staring at you with heart eyes

‌And if you're learning Korean or English he'd be more than glad to help you overcome your difficulties with the language

‌Would be your personal professor fr

‌Speaks slower around you so you can understand everything, and wouldn't mind repeating himself at all

‌He knows that the language barrier can be a bit intimidating and that it can make you afraid of opening up completely

‌But he'd be so reassuring all the time

‌Really tries his best to comfort you when you need it and it doesn't matter the language, he makes is clear that he loves and will be with you all the time

Lee Know

‌If you had a hard time speaking Korean but still tried your best to communicate with him and his parents in Korean, he'd fall DEEP in love with you

‌He gives me major "I don't understand but I love you" vibes ngl

‌lmao he'd learn the bad words before anything else

‌If you're speaking your mother tongue when in the phone he'd try to guess what you're saying

‌Genuinely doesn't know what's going but he's invested

‌And he repeats some words after you say it

‌Not in a mocking way, he just finds it cool how the word sounds and keep repeating it to himself

‌Like if you speak french he'd be like "bonjour. Bonjour? Bonjour"

‌It's endearing

‌But yeah you'll have to translate everything to him later

‌He wants to know about the tea

‌Cooks your hometown dishes for you!!

Changbin

‌ If you have a foreign accent when speaking Korean or English he finds it adorable

‌ And he also finds your mother tongue adorable

‌ It doesn't matter if you speak one of the sexiest languages in the world

‌ This man finds it adorable

‌Eventually learns your language

‌He'll take classes, buy text books and everything

‌He truly believe that learning how to communicate with you (in every language for that matter) is like a "boyfriend duty"

‌So he'll be more than happy to learn

‌Tries to show his affection in ways that are not spoken as well so you both could surpass the language barrier

‌He'll get you flowers, gifts, would take you to amazing places, would have the best dates with you and everything you can ever think of

‌You'd have the best memories ever with him and no word would need to be said

Hyunjin

‌ Would ask you to teach him some pet names and sweet phrases in your language

‌ And would 100% say "I love you" in your mother tongue in certain moments

‌ Like in more intimate moments that he wants you to truly understand how much he loves you

‌ Would love if you replied with saying "I love you" in Korean

‌If you have a different accent than him when speaking Korean/English he might start speaking like you

‌yk when you get someone's accent just by living next to them

‌That's him

‌He finds it fancy

‌And when the boys tease him for this he might get shy but he's also so proud? Like "yeah I got it from my s/o :D"

‌Writes a letter to you once he finds confidence in speaking your language. It might have some mistakes here and there but it was so sweet, and the intention behind it was so lovely, that you couldn't help but tear up a bit when you read it for the first time

Han

‌Loves your culture so much

‌He'd ask you to show songs and movies and things like that in your language

‌Like if you're Indian he'd ask you to show him some Bollywood movies

‌He'd try to guess what they are saying and it's a whole game for him

‌He's there for the vibes honestly

‌But I think he'd end up learning a thing or two and later would like to learn the whole thing

‌Would incorporate your mother tongue in his songwriting I'm 100% sure

‌And!! would ask for songs recommendations so he could sing to you when you least expect it

‌Learns two words in your mother tongue, probably uses them in the wrong way, thinks he is fluent.

‌But he also knows a lot of slangs in your language, it's kinda surprising ngl

‌He'd occasionally drop a random slang in your language when talking to the kids and everyone would be like ???

‌"what did you say?"

Felix

‌ Learns your language to surprise you

‌ Like every time there is a break when he's practicing he'd open duolingo

‌(He'd have a hella long strike, 100 days in a row or smth)

‌When you're speaking on the phone with someone he tries to listen to it as a listening exercise

‌Is smiling to himself throughout the period of the call and when you ask the reason why he just brushes it off

‌Cooks your hometown dishes for you pt. 2!!

‌But seriously tho

‌He knows it's hard to be far from home, especially by yourself

‌So he really tries to make you feel at home

‌He will cook your nationals dishes, will sing songs in your language, will encourage you to speak in your mother tongue around him etc

‌:(

‌Also, 2 kids 1 room flashback

‌He likes to have meaningful conversations with you where he tells you how much he loves and appreciates you

‌Unlike Hyunjin, he'd say everything in English because it feels more genuine for him, as it's his first language

‌So if you're replying to him in your language, he'd feel SO happy

‌He thinks this is like a proof that everything you're saying comes from a deep place somehow. It makes him fall in love once again

Seungmin

‌ Wants to learn your language the moment you guys get in a serious relationship

‌ Besides wanting to be able to talk to you in your own comfort zone

‌He'd want to be able to talk to your friends and family who speaks your mother tongue

‌ Like the first time he sees your parents he'd be ready to talk to them

‌i'm so down bad for this man it's not even funny anymore

‌anyways

‌Would take you everywhere in Korea so he could show you a bit of his home (would tell stories about the places so excitedly)

‌And would love if he had the opportunity to go to your country

‌Would love it even more if you showed the place around to him and explained a bit about everything you know

‌If in the first stages of the relationship there is a language barrier, he'd plan dates that don't involve a lot of talking

‌Like he'd take you to concerts and karaokes

‌music is universal after all isn't it?

‌He always give his 100% into the relationship it's so cute

I.N

‌ Finds it really attractive pt2

‌ He loves your accent

‌ And he loves your mother tongue as well

‌ He could spend a whole day just listening to you speak, even if he doesn't understand a single word

‌ And if you're learning Korean, he'd love to see your progress and to see you getting more comfortable while speaking it

‌ I also see two possible scenarios:

‌ One, he'd wake up one day really determined to learn your language and wouldn't stop until he does

‌ Two, he'd never stop and actually learn it, but he'd end up catching up with some things you say and show to him. So in the end he'd know the basics and some essential phrases

‌I believe he'd genuinely enjoy to learn about your culture

‌Like, whenever a cultural shock comes up, he'd be invested in understanding it?

‌Of course sometimes there would be misunderstandings, but I truly think he would try to see the positive view rather than seeing only the cultural crash

‌He might even learn a thing or two and get your culture's habits

Feedback is very much appreciated!!

an idea: slow dancing w remy! (x reader ofc)

ma belle evangeline from princess and the frog came on my spotify shuffle earlier, and all i can think about is dancing with him with the song in the background 😭

love your fics btw!!🫶🫶

A/N: This idea makes me really, really soft 🥹 That's also one of my favorite Disney movies <3 Pairing: Remy LeBeau x gn!Reader Tags: slow dancing, Disney music, fluff, close proximity

Ma Belle Evangeline

The air was thick with the scent of magnolias and the distant hum of conversation as you found yourself standing at the edge of a bustling New Orleans courtyard. The night was alive with the sounds of jazz, and above, the Spanish moss swayed gently in the warm breeze. Your eyes caught sight of Remy LeBeau, Gambit, across the space, his gaze equally drawn to you. The band began to play "Ma Belle Evangeline," a song that always made you think of him, naturally.

Without a word, Remy approached, his eyes never leaving yours. He extended a hand, his touch electric as it met your skin. "Shall we dance, mon cher?" he murmured, his voice low and inviting.

You nodded, unable to speak, and let him lead you onto the makeshift dance floor. The world around you faded into the background as the music enveloped you both. Remy pulled you close, his hand firm on your waist, guiding you effortlessly through the steps. You could feel the rhythm of his heart against your chest, matching the beat of the song.

As the chorus swelled, Remy leaned closer, his breath warm against your ear. "Tout le jour, je pense à toi," he whispered, his French accent thick and enticing. His words, a soft confession of thoughts throughout the day, sent shivers down your spine.

You looked up at him, your own feelings mirrored in his eyes. "And what do you think about, Remy?" you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.

He smiled, a hint of mischief lighting up his face. "I think about how I wanna dance witchu under de stars every night," he replied, his voice smooth as silk.

The song continued, each note a testament to the growing connection between you. Remy's hand slid gently up your back, sending sparks of desire through you. You closed your eyes for a moment, lost in the sensation of his body pressed against yours, the world reduced to just the two of you and the music.

When you opened your eyes again, Remy was watching you, his expression tender. "You look beautiful tonight, mon cœur ," he said, his gaze sincere.

You blushed, ducking your head slightly. "Thank you," you murmured, your heart pounding in your chest.

The song reached its crescendo, the notes soaring into the night sky. Remy spun you lightly, then drew you back against him, his arms encircling you tightly. You felt safe, cherished, in his embrace.

As the final strains of the song faded away, Remy bowed low over your hand, pressing a gentle kiss to your knuckles. "Until next time, ma belle," he whispered, his voice filled with promise.

You stood there, your hand still tingling from his touch, as he straightened and gave you one last, lingering look before turning to rejoin the crowd. The night seemed to hold its breath, waiting, as you stood there, lost in the afterglow of the dance and the secrets shared beneath the Spanish moss.

"why aren't you sitting with the others?" you hear a french accent speak from behind, pulling you out of the trance the chaos of the paddock put you in. you recognize him as Charles, one of the ferrari drivers.

"I don't know them that well yet honestly, im new to the company and city. I just didn't want to intrude on their space," you sigh as you lean on the half wall next to you.

his eyes perk up with curiosity, "you're new to monaco? I wouldn't have guessed, you uh have the french accent."

"I was, uh, raised in paris somewhat, my mother lives there."

Charles hums with acknowledgment. you both spend the next few minutes getting to know each other.

"I have to go do some media stuff, but why don't you join my friends and me out this week? we can introduce you to some proper monegasque spots and help you fall in love with my city, what do you say?"

"tu peux compter sur moi," you respond smiling.

he exchanges contact information with you promising to reach out soon with details, and you wish him good luck with the rest of the weekend.

(translation: you can count me in)

it's race day and the paddock is buzzing with excitement and anticipation ahead of one of the most notable races of the year. the track is flooded with media, fans, and crew members from each of the teams.

Lando is standing in the mclaren garage surrounded by engineers rebriefing him on strategy ahead of the race in a few hours. staring into the crowd, he tunes out his team as you walk by. he may not quite sure who you are, but he's sure he has seen you before.

his eyes follow you and disappointment tugs at his chest as he sees you walk into the ferrari garage.

[i-dropped-my-cake]

Comparing the medievalification of Czech and English language in KCD/KCD2 is so interesting.

For those who are unaware, yes, the games were made by a Czech studio, yes, the lead writers are Czech, yes, the source code is Czech. The items, quests, dialog lines etc. carry Czech words as part of their identification. But the primary language we're meant to consume it in is English: Czech is more of an afterthought, a language for the (Czech) devs to properly place their easter eggs in.

In both languages, the font for in-game writing is inspired by Rotunda, corresponding more to what scribes would use in the south of Europe, rather than in our part of the Holy Roman Empire. Because the blackletter which would have actually been used is fucking hard to read (literally the one good thing the N*zis did was to ban Fraktur, may it rot in hell).

We can no longer understand the language of 1403 very well. Medieval Czech would most likely sound to us like we are having a stroke. Jan Hus is the reaszon we don't wrzite like thys btw, as he was the guy to suggest writing acčentš above letteřs, replacing the di- and multigraphs that survived in Polish.

Canterbury Tales are from about the same period in English, and 1403 is smack in the beginning of the Big Vowel Shift. So again. It would sound like you're having a stroke. Or like a couple of Danes are making fun of you.

Which is why both languages are simply using their modern form with some anachronisms to "sell the bit."

Most of the time, it's enough to just have the characters talk about their daily stuff - after all, a modern person rarely talks about swordfights, brailes, or working the field. In Czech (more in KCD1 than in KCD2, weirdly enough) they pepper in slight Germanization. Most of us don't speak German, but there are some basic words that survive into the present vernacular, and while most don't use them daily, it's expected that you understand them. If you let the characters speak "common Czech" and not a super prescriptive version of the language from books, the illusion is complete without being overly intrusive.

The English language doesn't have the same luxury: it's too goddamn cosmopolitan. A stand-in for the old language has to be a collection of accents from the British Isles. Maybe Canada and New Zealand. But not Australia. This time, the common set of old-timey vocabulary definitely cannot be German (too much drift), or just plain ol' English-English (boring) or French (which would be popular among the upper, but not lower classes). What remains is using archaic words for normal stuff. The list of eligible words is surprisingly short. The language suffers from success, having too vast a vocabulary - an archaic word for an American would sound pants in a medieval context for a Londoner, or vice versa (I was told a long time ago that AE conserves the older forms a bit more than BE, but that could have been a ploy to make me more accepting of American grammar). Which is why you, bizarrely enough, get wenches instead of girls and handgonnes instead of pistols.

Warnings: mild violence, death, and bodily fluids.

Authors note:

People wanted Adelia to be set free. So I have done that for them. But they had to learn the consequences of the *madness* this girl has.

So I have included some of my friends who love Adelia’s characters in here. (With their permission btw)

She was beautiful with emerald eyes and soft blonde hair that flowed around her shoulders. She had to be the most beautiful girl in all of Hogwarts. All the boys loved her, her sweet smile, the sweeter smell of apples that clung to her skin like it was emanating from her pores. They tripped over themselves to serve her, her precious pets wrapped around her finger on an invisible leash.

Garreth was always sneaking out to get her ingredients from the forest, as he hated to see her cry when she complained how she feared the woods at night yet needed something for the new potion she was making. And she would always let him help and would help him with his brews out of her grateful heart.

Sebastian carried her books and helped her keep up on her notes, dark circles under his eyes. But his eyes were full of so much adoration that every girl in Hogwarts wished they were on her.

All the girls wanted to be her. Because with her walking the halls it was hopeless to find a boyfriend. Even Ominis caved her to every request, Amit made her his star, Duncan fetched her a leaf himself just because she glanced his way. She had the best clothes too,and her skin! Oh it was flawless.

Adelia Gray was the epitome of perfection but there was something off about her. Everyone she encountered seemed to vanish. But no one ever remembered. They just knew to be wary when she talked to them, not knowing if it was because of her beauty or because of the warning bells.

Her birthday was coming. She would be 17 on the 31st of October. Everyone loved Halloween and this year would be particularly special. She had requested a ball and the Headmaster agreed. Even he was infatuated with the girl, she got him to do things others could not.

“Everyone shall be invited,” she called sweetly, the gentle French accent making everyone sigh. “I consider all of you my friends here. It is rare we get such celebrations, and I want to make sure to see everyone before I go because once I am 17 I will be leaving you.”

A chorus of disappointed voices rose but was silenced when she raised a delicate hand.

“You all know I arrived later than all of you here, not even in September because of my birthday. It made it difficult for me to fit in, made it difficult for me to catch up but now, now I’ve made it. So we will have a last hurrah for me, so I can thank you all for your amazing hospitality.”

Everyone cheered, it would be a party to remember.

~~

Adelia sighed, sinking onto her bed pulling off another ruined dress, red dripping onto the floor.

A laugh came from the smoking orb sitting on her bedside table, a dark haired girl’s image swimming among the indigo light.

“You know you should really wear something more practical for this kind of thing,” she drawled. “You could die from tripping over your dress. It’s like a cape on a broom, slowing.”

“Why, you don’t trust my abilities?” Adelia snapped back.

“I don’t when you wear something like that! A pretty white dress for murdering wizards, very practical, very demure. Doesn’t make you stand out at all.” She said sarcastically.

“If you’re going to just mock me, go away before I poison your drink next time we meet.” Adelia threatened, turning her back to pull on her nightgown.

“I’d kill you first. But anyways, I just wanted to know how the plan was going.”

“What plan? I have a lot Mel,” Adelia said as she flipped through a book of potions.

“You know what plan!! The one where you murder everyone.” The girl in the orb played with some lightning in her hand as she waited for the blonde to respond.

“Oh that one I’m not so sure about.”

“You must be bloody mad not to go through with that now after all the work you’ve put in! They hurt you, mocked you, hell even tortured and nearly killed you. They broke you, you break them you coward!!”

Adelia glowered at her but a smirk turned up her lips. “Oh I’m going to, I was just playing with you.”

“You’re too good at lying.”

“Thanks, now here’s what’s going to happen….”

~~

Ominis didn’t usually like parties but this one he was looking forward to. Adelia had finally started to feel comfortable. Her first year was awful and their relationship was rocky. She’d done some questionable things, and he thought he had lost both his friends to the dark side forever.

But she’d come around. They both had.

She focused on her music and Sebastian was studying to be a healer. All was well.

The students no longer bribed her to do things for them, pushed her around and threatened her. No longer made fun of her from coming to the school months late. He no longer heard them throw jabs at her for her family, for her unordinary eyes, and how she was a freak being a seer.

This night would go well.

Or so he thought.

He greeted his friends one by one, Diana, Elsie, Aurelie, Lucia, as well as Gibby, Lorrain and then his girlfriend Johanna who took his arm. They were all major fans of Adelia, bending to her will but they didn't see it that way.

They didn’t see the gaslighting, the manipulation. And that was as planned, because Adelia had trained her boys to make them blind to it. Ominis’s anger seemed justified, and Sebastian’s excuses. So her tears, her sweet words, they seemed much less harmful. Just like their glasses of wine that she poured, saying it was just another one of her new recipes, the ones they loved.

“Cheers my darlings, to happy ever afters to you all. That you all experience the kindness you gave me, and never the pain and heart aches. May we dance all night long!”

Glasses clinked, a lovely sound to his ears and Ominis paused a moment to let it soak in.

Until his glass shattered on the floor when he heard the first scream.

~~

Golden and sweet like honey, the wine went down until everything burned. It was like a fire had spread across the room, as people were lit with a consuming desire for the thing they wanted most. And it didn’t matter what it took to get it, it didn’t matter if innocents were harmed.

Because Adelia wanted everyone who ever knew her to vanish. They had destroyed her, so now they would destroy themselves, and experience what it was like to have no control, and they’d kill for her. If they destroyed each other, she could for once wash her hands clean.

People were always willing to fight each other over the smallest thing if given the right initiative.

And that was struggling with the inability to breathe, throat slowly closing as they burned inside.

Diana, Gibby, Jo and Lorrain were fighting tooth and nail, magic and no magic for Ominis, their biggest desire. Gibby was on Diana’s shoulders dragging her nails down her cheeks leaving deep gouges as they tried to reach Ominis while Lorrain unleashed purple lightning at Johanna who was a small ball of terrifying flames, melting the ground around her as she stood between them and Ominis.

Elsie, Aurelie, and Lucia were a ball on the floor, ripping hair and clothing off each other and Sebastian as they fought like angry dogs, but sounded more like shrieking parrots as they cursed each other out. It was questionable whether they were more angry or more horny.

The whole great hall was full of screaming and cries of pain. Blood was shed, spells were cast, and the air filled with the smell of iron, burnt flesh, vomit, salty tears, and her acidic smoke. No one would escape in one piece, no one would escape at all. Break her heart, lose your head.

She danced by herself in the middle of the room, the green smoke emanating from the dying, wrapping around her as she twirled with an evil smile twitching her lips, fiery skulls in her eyes. The crown they made her of gardenias sat on her head, slowly turning black, as her tears stung her cheeks.

Why was she crying? We’ll never know, it could have been guilt, relief, or some sick mix of them both.

I just know that no one dared upset her ever again, because everyone knows Adelia, the Killer Queen’s name. Everyone knows her castle used to be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and everyone knows the story of its tragic end and all but one of the students.

Everyone knows that if you break her heart you’ll meet your end.

But does she have a heart left?

Ominis, told me no.

Y'know what I'm curious. What do y'all think Hugos ethnicity is?

(warning yap session)

Bc personally I see him as Irish (I think I've seen some others that think that too) or maybe Scottish (mostly Irish) tho I may just be projecting since my pop's Scottish (btw my pop is my dad's dad jus in case u call urs somethin else). That also kinda plays into my hc that he's secretly a red head. But I just CANNOT stand him with a Scottish/Irish accent. Idk it jus doesn't feel like his character (also nothing against ppl w those accents I'm jus talking abt the character).

I've seen some people that hc him as french which Honestly can see him w a French accent or speaking french (and ngl Varian would prob be into it). I think some people hc him as British which at first I didn't really see it but I've def come around (Hugo as a little British orphan boy covered in coal). But I don't really think he'd like "traditional British things" like tea and breakfast sausages (but I may also be projecting my hate for sausages) .

I think that's the main hc I've seen for Hugo's ethnicity but I am def very curious to see what u guys think. (Also soz for any errors I'm not editing all this) Okay byeee<333 :D

▴ THRALLS OF POWER ▾

Episode 1: Time (Teaser Scene)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is with some modicum of pride (and mild terror!!!!) that I present you this very first extract of my The Legend of Zelda animatic project called Thralls of Power, a project I have started about a year ago and I've been working on ever since (except when my computer explodes and then I can't make progress and I'm totally normal about that btw)

The story is set during the Child Timeline (aka: Majora's Mask & Twilight Princess), starting from Ocarina of Time and progressing from there.

Thralls of Power tells the story of a failed coup, of a desperate uprising, of figures of legend reckoning with their own agency in a world haunted by the remnants of the Goddesses who forged it.

While it is first and foremost a sincere homage to this series I adore and accompanied me my entire life, I must warn that this is probably aimed at a slightly more mature audience than the original games, and veers into more complicated moral grayness and realistic portrayals of war and politics than the series generally tends to do, making it closer to dark fantasy than the original games.

The first episode is about 75% complete, and I will be forced to admit defeat and only attempt to promise its release for the first quarter of 2025. The second one is fully storyboarded but quite ambitious, so I'm not even going to hazard a guess!

The full thing is outlined, but I'm not promising I'll actually do the whole story because it's quite ambitious and would probably take me a full decade, and I don't know if I have it in me. But you'll get a good couple of episodes at the very least!

It unfortunately will not feature voice acting, because coordinating voice actors would make this solo project very complicated and also I'm not a native english speaker and every voice actor I know that would be interested would speak English with a French accent if at all and also I do not trust that I can't find a decent Ganondorf and SO MUCH would hinge on a good Ganondorf performance that I think it would be unreasonable to even risk it
