CRIMSON REVOLT GOES DISNEY

Bellatrix Black as Hades “What Hades lacks in physical strength, he makes up for in meticulous planning, impressive manipulation, and an intimidating aura. Aside from that, Hades is best known for his uncontrollably hot temper. At times, the smallest inconveniences can send him over the edge, causing fiery fits and extreme damage to the area and people around him, depending on the situation. This quality makes him a feared figure among Greece and beyond. Hades is a master manipulator and often resorts to making deals to get the best of his enemies.“ @blackestdevotions

Knowing what those are however, that’s a different question.”

Oppugno: You’re about to be in a fight! The object directly to your left is what you have as a weapon! What is it and how would you use it?

“I suppose that my wand isn’t an option in this, too obvious? Very well. There’s a very old glass crystal, one silent magic could make a weapon of, crack some for sharp edges, push magic inside to make a blade. 

-- Or, well. Use the obvious option and take into consideration my wand arm is the left side. Set aside all obvious spells and just simply set fire.”

arabella:

    An hour of relaxation came with a thick, yellow-paged book. As her thumbs caressed the gently folded corners of its pages, Arabella couldn’t help but think about how long it had been since she last opened it. The novel had been read twenty times over, to the point where she could recite several passages by heart, but in the past two years she had barely looked at it. She supposed the war had something to do with her diminishing attention span. But now that there was sunlight shining down upon the park, and she was cross-legged under a tree, the world didn’t seem half as stressful. It helped that a double chocolate chip cookie had been her only company for the afternoon. 

    Arabella softly closed the aging book and let it rest on the grass beside her. Not far off were the echoing laughs of children as they chased each other under swings and slides and monkey bars. Someday she would be in the group of mothers watching over them, it was a vow she had promised herself countless times over. After another few minutes of thought, Arabella stood and tucked her book under one arm, the other hand pressing the final bite of cookie into her mouth. Coffee next, she supposed, and then a round of quick shopping before home. The kneazle’s needed food, and she wasn’t sure the last time she had even gone grocery shopping for herself. 

    The walk away from the park was beautiful but long, and she quickly fell into her own thoughts. Food, coffee, envelopes, cleaning solution…all could be found at any Muggle shop. But she was far away from Muggle life, as she often was nowadays, and she paused in her trek to muse over where to go first. Home, probably, to pick up her car and drink into town. So she turned on her heel but misstepped, and her foot twisted until she had landed on her knees. Her novel went sliding from her hands and a shooting pain went up her calf. “No, fuck.” She hissed, taking a glance at her scraped up palm before sitting back to examine her potentially sprained ankle. 

   It was a general rule, Bellatrix choosing to keep her day to day activities private. Some kept their lives to themselves for the fear of judgment - or really, for fear of being figured out as so often seemed the case. Neither was the case in terms of Bellatrix Lestrange. Rather, she simply didn’t find that her personal affairs were anyone’s business on her own. To impose onto the lives of others was not  only tragically transparent, but boring. Of course, it didn’t stop her, from finding what happened in the lives of those who served purpose to the ways in which her business was conducted-- but that was all it was. Not a thinly veiled attempt at understanding or what have you. (And really, Bellatrix found it better that way. Her life was nobody’s but her own, after all, why bother sharing?)

   At least, that was how she had taken to justifying this of all things. In twenty-seven years, a playground was the very last place she ever wished to be. Not only did it require the presence of snotty, loud children, but they came along with parents-- the sort of parents that so many fooled themselves into believing was common. As if love and affection did anything. But, in what could have possibly been a moment of unbearable weakness-- whatever it was, Bella refused to question it-- the events that had unfolded in the presence of Andromeda had shifted something. It wasn’t a maternal instinct, not by any means, but a sort of curiosity. The desire to have an understanding into how these tiny, grimy human beings worked so that perhaps she could serve more purpose than simply standing around, watching with apt fascination as the half-blooded witch Andromeda produced shifted appearance right before her cold, blue eyes.

   What she hadn’t taken into account - infuriating and stupid, she’d admit, even it only to herself - was that said children would bring mothers. Her presence, large and looming in the wizarding world, had gotten shuffled glances and offered quite a wide stretch of distance. However, she knew it remained only a matter of time until some Muggle approached her. There were distances she willed to attempt, for the rare chance at some recuperation to Andy, but that-- oh, that was a disturbing stretch never to be risked. And really, the longer she waited, the stronger the question got of just how long one could watch children without growing bored. Bearing that in mind, Bella made the conscious decision to leave, long strides headed toward dark patches of trees to seek refuge in until her next move was planned.

   The journey was cut short, by the inordinate sound of ridiculous clumsiness. Frozen hues rolled, an eyebrow hitching as Bellatrix approached, slender fingers wrapping securely around the fallen novel, twisting it in a bored, curious fashion in her hands. “Really, you should watch your step.” She commented, voice holding the same cold, almost too detached tone it so often took. Now, it seemed to happen without any conscious thought to the matter; save for such a rare number, it was second nature, anymore. Nothing to be easily controlled.
