In Wrenn’s duffel bag…Lazuli may find. A platypus. Wearing a spikey collar. Say hello to Peppercorn!

@soraeia:

"??? What...?"

"Waaaah~! Who's this???? I love them." She's just gonna scoop Peppercorn up. But not snuggle or kiss yet. Not without the platypus' consent. "When'd you get them? Do they like treats?"

CHAPTER TWO

Chapter two

She had spent the last fourteen hours kneading dough and mixing batter and rolling out mix until her hands locked, her head was light from dehydration and her stomach was practically screaming for something consumable. Though every millimetre of her five-foot-three self was monopolised in a dull ache from the uninterrupted production of baked goods, Maxine was glowing with relief, disbelief and reward at the milestone she had just accomplished.  She was not phased by the agonising hunger and thirst that her body desperately called out for; instead, it brought a subtle sense of peace, of solidarity to her mind, in tandem to the playlist of soft songs levitating from the speaker in the corner of the bakery, like an energy or an aura.

Positioned above the checkout area, the glass display case exposed a heavenly stash of perfectly browned croissants, glazed cinnamon rolls, an array of stacked cookies and chocolate-chunked brownies, buns and a clique of other devastatingly beautiful pastries and doughs. Shelves encompassing the store accommodated sourdoughs, whole wheats, ciabattas, baguettes, paninis, ryes… individually wrapped in some sort of cellophane material, accompanied by a little red ribbon holding it in place. A freshly polished glass casing lined the centre of the back cherry-red wall, occupied by several fresh pies – cherry, blackberry, peach, pumpkin, apple – each one satisfyingly golden and crisp. Pies were always Maxine’s favourites to make; she enjoyed watching them bake, fruit bubbling, seeping through the flawlessly measured lattice on top, eventually settling, leaving a dye of colour around the pastry. Below the array of pie, still filling the casing, lay angelic looking, soft to the touch, heavenly tasting cakes (two teared with a generous layer of butter icing between tears and coating the top of the exterior): Victoria sponge, triple chocolate, red velvet (the greatest creation in the whole world in the eyes of Max) and coffee and walnut. Depending on which she believed would suit best to each specific cake, Max had dusted them with either silver or gold edible glitter – very lightly as if it was from a fairy. The interior of the bakery also looked as though Maxine had waved a magic wand over it: everything was pristine, perfect. The magnolia walls hung paintings of all sorts of baked goods – paintings her best friend had created for her throughout their friendship ready to store in the bakery she always dreamed of, and so she had kept every single one from over the years for this exact purpose. Crimson, cursive LED lights hung above the checkout counter read ‘welcome’ to match the single red wall hosting the pies and cakes. Earlier in the week, Maxine had purchased two small, rounded, metal tables with shiny, metal, basket-like chairs for customers to eat-in. A few cans of red spray paint and an afternoon of DIY later, she had a small seating area to compliment the red theme that she had been going for. And of course, weaved around the legs of the tables and chairs, and among the sides of the checkout counter were fairy lights.

She was finishing writing products and prices on the colossal chalk board that had earlier been fused to the wall, when a faint but familiar knock presented itself at the door. Behind it: her best friend with a face full of excitement. This was the first time that she had let Wrenn see the bakery; the finished result. She wanted it to be perfect before she let anybody else see, not even her best friend, and now it was.

“Holy shit,” Wrenn gasped as she bounced inside of the store, encouraging her roommate to move to the side. “You did it, like actually. God, it’s just how you described it when we were younger.”

She’s looking around now, spinning in circles, her eyes fixing onto all the different views of the room, occasionally humming with agreement. She giggled at the sight of the fairy-lights knowing that Maxine could not and would not resist incorporating them into the design somehow. Amused, she paced around, letting her eyes bring in all of it.

Then she paused, frozen, glaring up at the paintings on the magnolia walls. She was silent for a moment (which was an unheard-of event for ‘Miss talks-a lot’), as she processed the familiar artwork that lay before her eyes. Wrenn herself broke the silence after gathering her thoughts with a near whisper, “You kept them? ALL of them?”

“Of course I did.” Maxine chuckled in reply, gently caressing the signature, Wrenn’s signature, at the edge of one of the canvases with a chocolate cupcake painted onto it.

“I said I would put them in my bakery, so I have. Besides, I think they bring the whole look together, you know?”

After few soft smiles were exchanged between the pair, Maxine found herself being tackled into a bear-hug, both girls still giggling like teenagers at a sleepover.

“I am really, really, really proud of you Maxie.”

“You are?”

“I am.”

It was starting to get darker earlier, October in the UK and all, and colder too. The bitter air bit at the girls sharp forcing Max to wrap her wine-red scarf around her, covering her nose and mouth. She was aware that it would be a late finish and a cold evening, so she had worn her black trench coat too. Maxine had never really minded the cold weather because she argued that one could always layer up to stay warm or drink a hot drink or tuck yourself in bed, and instead hated the summer. Wrenn always gave the opposing argument that summer in the UK was pathetic: it was barely hot, rained a lot and only lasted a few weeks.

“You’ll love summer abroad. We could go to Spain! Or Los Angeles! Or Portugal!” She’d say.

“We could lay in the sun and get tans and drink martinis.” She’d say.

“We can cool off in the pool and wear our bikinis all of the time.” She’d say.

But Max did not want to go to Spain or Los Angeles or Portugal. She did not want to lay in the sun. She did not want to drink martinis. She did not want to cool off in the pool. She did not want to wear her bikini all the time. And she certainly did not want the summer, though she agreed with her because that’s what friends do. However, she’d rather be curled up by a fireplace with a blanket and a book, some fairy-lights and candles glowing, a coffee, and rain splatting the window: undisturbed. That was what she wanted.

They had been strolling back in the direction their apartment for a while discussing their plans for the rest of the evening. Eventually, the two decided that they’ll stop at the coffee house that resides just beside their apartment block and then they’ll order a pizza and watch a movie to end their day. ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ was their final decision for the movie after a pointless debate on what to watch – this settled right in the middle of their choices: romance and comedy. Perfect – it was also one of Maxine’s favourites, so she felt as though she had still won regarding deciding the film.

‘LIVE LOUNGE COFFEE’ was quite vintage, classical from the outside. The exterior was a deep brown with vines growing along the wood like veins. It seemed quite tiny, secluded and still from the outside. It seemed untouched. Why had it taken them both so long to investigate this coffee house? Maxine especially had become dependent on caffeine, so why has she not visited the coffee house that is quite literally attached to her apartment? In a way, it never really crossed her mind; she hadn’t even fathomed that there was a coffee house attached to her apartment until Wrenn’s mentioning of it on their walk home. Better late then never though, she thought.

Wrenn pushed the door open into the shop, which was rather heavy so this must have been an old shop as they figured, and stepped in, Maxine close behind. She was taken by surprise – this is not what she had thought the interior would look like: it was so… modern; unique? Sofas of mix and matched colours and sizes and an additional similar array of armchairs consumed a lot of the interior. Bar stools and taller tables were dotted around two large speakers which outlined a stage-like area towards the back right hand side of the room. Nothing matched except the walls which were all white, however they were plastered in a series of different quotes and posters. Max was a perfectionist: everything she ever worked on was thought about so particularly for it to be perfect. She needed that control. This was nothing like that. This was unorganised and randomised… so why did she like it?

“Hmm, comfy,” she whispered under her breath as she untangled herself from her scarf, to which her friend turned to her with a facial expression of a mix of surprise and satisfaction.

“Coffee, a beverage that smells like fresh ground heaven,” Maxine read from one of the quotes on the wall to her left. “Amen to that.” Her eyes took one last stroll around the interior of the coffee house until they locked with an unfamiliar pair across the counter. She’d been so caught up with the interior that she hadn’t realised how empty it was, except this pair of forest-brown eyes connected to hers.

“Good evening. How are you?” spoke a soft voice – a soft voice that she did not recognise as her own, nor her best friend’s. A beautiful voice. An angelic voice. A calm voice. It was like music to her ears: blissful and sweet, but soft like feathers.

She realised she was still maintaining eye contact with this person’s exquisite set of russet eyes, and she felt herself burning up, turning red. She swallowed and quickly looked down at her feet. ‘What the fuck is happening?’ she thought to herself. Taking a slow and quiet deep breath Max repositioned her eyes once more, desperate to see the owner of the eyes she had connected with. Her muscles tensed and her breathing fastened. Her once blistery cold skin was now forming beads of sweat as she warmed up against her coat.

She started at the bottom so she could avoid the trance those eyes put her in. They wore a clearly loved pair of Doc Marten boots (she could tell from the frays and the scratches that consumed them), shiny and laced all the way to the top of the ankle. They connected to a pair of black jeans pulled over a long pair of legs. Her eyes glided up to their hips, flawlessly curved, falling into a petite waist shaped by a small apron pulled around it and tied with a bow. Her breathing heavied again, falling irregular now. After a moment of trying to collect herself, she continued her eyes on their journey up, analysing this stranger. One of their hands sat dominantly on their waist while the other was twirling the end of one of two long, midnight black braids, which reached just above it. There was a smooth, shiny coat of amethyst purple painted across their nails without a single chip and each of their fingers had a ring, some even having multiple, except for their thumbs and their wedding finger which remained empty. Each ring was a different colour, shape, style to the last – they were mix-matched like the furniture; Maxine shocking liked it, like the furniture. Her eyes were fixed for a second, until eventually continuing their investigation to their arms and shoulder, which were covered by the cotton sleaves of their black long-sleeved t-shirt. Around their neck dangled one singular silver necklace connected to a small charm of the initial ‘V’, which hung in the centre of their chest. Her eyes continued searching, flowing up their goosebump-covered neck. Was she cold? Was she nervous? Max was nervous. Three silver hooped earrings were situated in each lobe and an industrial bar, also silver, positioned itself diagonally at the top of their left ear. Wrenn and Max always debated silver or gold jewellery and she was always team silver; she assumed they were too. Her eyes proceeded to progress down their jawline, to their lips, which were coated in a thin layer of clear lip-gloss, smiling a toothless smile in her direction. Their lips were so full, especially the bottom one – perfectly plump and a rich rose shade. Their lips were flawless, so her eyes fixed onto them longer. Her hands stated to grow sweaty now, and she could feel her skin turning a raspberry shade of red again. Slowly, she inhaled another silent breath hoping to slow her racing heart or at least somewhat cool her down as she started at their lips. Eventually, she pulled her eyes up once again, resuming their travel to a nose ring – also a silver hoop (assuming to match with the lobe hoops) though it is thinner and smaller. Circling around the eyes she once connected with to avoid it happening again, they analysed the arch in their eyebrows, the perfect shape and the bar of jewellery that ran through the one on the right-hand side. Eyebrow piercing? Hot. Those luscious set of brown eyes caught her attention once more and again she was completely monopolised by them. Her breathing was out of control this time and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Why does this keep happening? She began to get flustered. Her coat was becoming a real issue – it was too hot in here. It was almost like she was out of her own body, like she had no control. She was captivated by those eyes. She inhaled one more time and led her eyes down the long wing of eyeliner running down their face and finally closed her eyes.

“Fine, thanks. How are you?” a voice answered. It wasn’t her voice. It continued, “Wait, are you guys open?” Once she finally had her breath back, Max opened her eyes to look at her friend, who was smiling softly at the stranger behind the counter with the capturing eyes.

“Yeah of course. What can I get you?” the stranger’s soft, feathery voice spoke again.

“A green tea, please and…” she turned to look at Maxine, who had not digested any of the words that had been spoken since they entered the coffee house. She flinched, snapping out of her thoughts.

“Hmm?” she mumbled to Wrenn.

“What do you want to order?” she questioned, nodding her head towards the stranger behind the counter.

“Oh, erm. A coffee, black,” she spoke under her breath, almost a whisper. Wrenn was looking at her again now but with an expression that she wasn’t familiar with. She broke eye contact and returned her eyes to her feet. She felt fidgety, pressing on the skin around her fingernails behind her back.

“Do you want some sugar with that, darling?” the feathery, angel voice sung out once more. Max froze, her eyes still fixed onto her Mary Jane black heels. Shit, do I want sugar? No.

“Erm, yes please.” She answered.

Shit.

“How many?”

None.

“Just one please.”

What the fuck.

The only sound in the room now was the stranger making the girls’ drinks, Maxine’s heavy breaths and pounding heart, although she hoped she was the only one that could hear those last two things.

After a couple of silent minutes, the stranger comes over with the drinks and hands them to the girls, reinforcing the uncomfortable eye contact that Maxine so desperately avoided, yet so desperately craved.

“Here you are,” she smiled as she handed Wrenn her tea, followed by, “there you go, sweetie.”

What the fuck.

Maxine nodded, still maintaining eye contact, however her breathing was becoming more regular now. She still felt like melting on the spot, but she was calmer and so now she just admired the face that she had analysed a few short minutes ago.

“Pretty quiet night for you I’m guessing,” Wrenn voiced.

The stranger hummed in agreement, and Max wasn’t the one to break the fixed eyes this time. The stranger let out a gentle chuckle. “Yeah, I suppose we don’t get many caffeine hungry people this time of night. They won’t sleep.”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right.”

Back at their apartment, Maxine released a slice of pepperoni pizza from her grip, flopping it back into the greasy inside of the box she had previously taken it out of. She thought that after having all but a croissant today would mean that she would have devoured more than two slices, however her mind was running and therefore her appetite was pretty low. Usually, she would be irritatingly reciting the script of the movie playing in front of her, however today it was merely background noise to her seamless thoughts. In a loop, her mind projected images of those piercing eyes from the coffee house, then to those lips; to the hands and then the waist; to each of the piercings; circulating back to those poisoning eyes – a never ending cycle. But why, why was this happening? Did she really care that much? Did she even care at all? Why would she care? She doesn’t care. Why is she so fixed to this?

An elbow interacted with her hip, sharp but not painful.

“Right, what’s wrong?” Wrenn said looking to her. “You’ve been radio silent since we got in.” It’s true, she had been, though she hadn’t realised; her mind had been on the loudest volume distracting her from noticing.

“Nothing,” she began, “Well, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just tired.”

“Right okay…” her friend spoke, holding onto the tune of the last word, followed by a short hum of thought. “So, I take it that this has something to do with what happened downstairs?” And she could read her like a book, apparently. Maxine didn’t even bother to deny her behaviour – her friend saw right through her, and she knew that from the second she asked what was wrong.

“How bad was it? God, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“I mean, you were bright red, fidgety and protruding Darth Vader breaths when she called you ‘darling’ so…” Wrenn went quiet, trying to decide carefully her next words to not stress Maxine out any further. She did eventually chime back up, “I don’t think she noticed though, maybe I just did because I know you so well. It wasn’t so bad. Actually, I think it’s rather sweet.”

That did not offer Max any clarity whatsoever. She swallowed down the last of her coffee and nodded in agreement, though Wrenn knew she wasn’t convinced.

So.... March of the Machines

Overall I really liked the story even if there were moments when I thought certain narrative elements seemed rushed or had little payoff. I think if this was a saga of books with time and space to explore each plane defenses, the angels power, the characters on themselves and phyresia/phyresis, then most of its problems would disappear. But we did not get that and the writer did an amazing job on each of this chapters.

As its difficult for me to put proper order to my toughs with such a massive event happening all at once, i’m gonna go by points under the cut. Spoilers ahead ... also be warned this is very long

1) I liked the reasoning on why Phyrexia was having a harder time in some planes than others and I think there are subtle hints trough the side chapters to see it: they lost the advantage of playing on their home-field and don't know what to expect in most of these planes (+ it play with Norn hubris)

But that doesn't mean Phyrexia was “easily defeated” by any means. A few characters point out that they just bought more time for the planes and that's key in this battle. If given enough time Phyexia would end up winning simply because their numbers are infinite and relentless; they don't get tired and don't require food or drink. Sure, the elder dinosaurs beat down Etali, but Etali WAS an elder dinosaur and got completed regardless...  To me there is never a sense of victory in the side stories -except the last new capenna one-, but one of a respite and a dime hope.

Im also aware that im “trapped” in one or two points of view. So, for example, while Nahiri was defeated and the skyclave broke, Phyrexia’s forces continue to advance over the population in Zendikar. They continue to loose lives, cities and heroes, we just dont see it hapenning (like Omnath and Brimax for example)

2) THAT BEING SAID. I was disappointed we didn't see any of the team ups from the cards. Not only because they look cool as fuck but because they reflect how much of a threat phyrexia IS that unlikely alliances need to be created for a chance of stopping the invasion. 

I dont mind that not all of the “heroes” came to New Phyrexia at the “Avengers” style like many were hoping for. It wouldnt make sense to leave their planes unprotected like that, but we could have had a glimpse of Thalia and the Gilgtrog monster in a side story. Just a quick mention. Something! Its very minor, but I was excited about that.

3) On that same line of tough and maybe even more important to the story... many of our named and biggest foes were defeated in a blink of an eye; seemingly easy and unimportant. Atraxa had a whole chapter where she struggles and rages against the idea of beauty from New Cappenna. It was incredible to read how her phyrexian mind could not wraps something that used to be important to her. I hoped they go somewhere with it....and then she is just crushed under a building.

Listen, I dont mind some random person killing Vorinclex. Sometimes its not the heroes with their might and magic who get the job done, but the ordinary people who step against impossible odds with nothing but their hands. I really enjoyed and cheered on when the Mirrans stepped up to get Wrenn to Realmbreaker because they went from being just “people to be killed to showcase the danger/horrors of the battle” to people who have will and motivation besides staying on the shadow of the planeswalkers. 

So, to me, is not who killed Vorinclex, but how was it done. Why Nissa was having so much trouble with him in “All will be One”, if all she needed was a sword and some distraction? Helliod is another big example here. I would have liked to see more cooperation from the different characters to take them down.

4) Speaking of the praetors... I think Urabrask and Sheoldred should have been bigger in this story. If in-fighting is one of the causes for Phyrexia falling, then this two should be more at the front of it so the ending doesnt look as sudden as it was. I know in “ONE” we see the revolutions and Sheoldred agents fighting in the Basilica but I dont think its enough.

5) Consequences. Consequences. Consequences. What a complicated topic. I saw many people on twitter said that there was no real consequence to the story while others were glad or angry that their favorites were cured or killed off. I’m mostly okay with what we got but i’m afraid of how it will the planeswalkers will handled afterwards.

I liked that Nissa and Ajani were cured from Phyresis after Tamiyo and Lukka were killed. I think it showcases how messy times like this can be and how unjust it can feel. Of course they had to kill them to avoid more slaughter but I wonder if Kaya, Kaito or the Wonderer will ever think about the fact that Tamiyo could have been saved if they just had given her more time. (And I need to mention: I dont like that Tamiyo gets to stay indefinitely as a spirit, I think it takes from the original heart break)

I also like that even if it took Mellira’s life and Karn spark, both planeswalkers still carry the metal as a part of them. They dont simply come back as they were before like nothing happened, its impossible to pretend so. I also think it was smart to use and remove this method from the table (I find it beautifuly ironic that the “Living cure” died after New Phyrexia was sealed away. Her death still hurt so much) ... at least I think it was, since we dont know of any other healer of the same capabilities. 

Im not sure what to say about Jace and Vraska. Like I think they will not be un-compleated but probably wont be in stasis/mind control either. I hope details on what happened with Jace come with Aftermath

And that leaves us with... Nahiri. I hoped she stay in statsis for longer to make Mellira’s and Karn sacrifice more grandiose and significant. But sadly the Aftermath box art confirms that she is alive and walking with not-swords for hands. Like ... I cannot comment because I do not know, but uh WHAT HAPPENED?

Still, I think the destruction Phyrexia caused to multiples planes is enough consecuence for me and we may even get more in aftermath! Not to mention the chance at character exploration this brings. I love to read headcanons after events like this.

Anyway. 8/10 for me!

The Correct Opinion on Jordan Peele's NOPE

This week we’re diving into the arrival of Jordan Peele's Latest movie NOPE. Was this a good movie? Will this movie be loved by critics and general audiences? Is this another great entry into horror by Jordan Peele? All this and more in this episode of The Correct Opinion. https://youtu.be/7yWic1Wu4YY  

Season 3 Episode 1 of The Correct Opinion

WRITTEN PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY JORDAN PEELE STARRING DANIEL KALUUYA, KEKE PALMER, STEVEN YEUN, MICHAEL WINCOTT, BRANDON PEREA, KEITH DAVID Oscar® winner JORDAN PEELE disrupted and redefined modern horror with Get Out in 2017 and then Us in 2019. Now, he reimagines the summer movie with the expansive new horror epic, Nope, a dark pop nightmare of uncanny science fiction and complex social thriller that unpacks the seeds of violence, risk and opportunism that are inseparable from the romanticized history of the American West … and from show business itself. The film reunites Peele with Oscar® winner DANIEL KALUUYA (Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah), who is joined by KEKE PALMER (Hustlers, Alice) and Oscar® nominee STEVEN YEUN (Minari, Okja) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. Nope is situated just outside of Los Angeles, in Southern California’s arid and rambling Santa Clarita Valley, where siblings OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald Haywood (Keke Palmer), have inherited a horse ranch from their industry-legend father, Otis Haywood Sr. (Emmy winner KEITH DAVID; 21 Bridges, Crash), carrying the torch of his craft as animal wranglers for film and television. It’s a tough business, and despite their skills and the artistry of their profession, OJ and Emerald face financial challenges and the heartbreak inherent to a trade where livestock is the talent. Adjacent to the Haywood ranch sits Jupiter’s Claim, a family-fun theme park and petting zoo predicated on the white-washed history and aesthetics of the California Gold Rush, owned and operated with evangelical pride by Ricky “Jupe” Park (Steven Yeun), a former child star who is saddled with a tabloid-tragic backstory that he has spent a lifetime trying to escape. OJ and Emerald begin observing unexplained phenomena on their vast ranch that leads them down an obsessive rabbit hole—plotting attempts to capture the mystery on camera. The hijinks of their quest for documentation, through increasingly elaborate and dangerous set-ups, puts at risk the only thing they truly have: the hard-earned business of their late John Henry-esque father, who has left them in his long shadow. Things escalate, as the siblings enlist the expert help of Fry’s Electronics store employee Angel Torres (BRANDON PEREA; The OA, American Insurrection), and acclaimed cinematographer Antlers Holst (MICHAEL WINCOTT; Hitchcock, Westworld), who is on the cusp of retirement. As their efforts, and hubris, cross a point-of-no-return, ratcheting the stakes to terrifying consequences, our heroes are drawn straight into the eye of an irreversible storm. The result is an expansive horror-spectacle with an intimate and emotionally complex core. Nope is written, produced and directed by JORDAN PEELE and produced by IAN COOPER p.g.a. (Us, Candyman) for Monkeypaw Productions. The film’s executive producers are ROBERT GRAF (Bombshell, No Country for Old Men, True Grit) and WIN ROSENFELD (Hunters, BlacKkKlansman). The film co-stars WRENN SCHMIDT (For All Mankind) and BARBIE FERREIRA (Euphoria), TERRY NOTARY (The Square), DEVON GRAYE (I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore), Daytime Emmy winner DONNA MILLS (Knots Landing), OSGOOD PERKINS (director Gretel & Hansel) and EDDIE JEMISON (Ocean’s 11 franchise). Nope’s artistic team includes Oscar®-nominated Director of Photography HOYTE VAN HOYTEMA ASC, FSF, NSC (Dunkirk, Let the Right One In); Production Designer RUTH DE JONG (Twin Peaks, Manchester by the Sea), Oscar®-winning Visual Effects Supervisor GUILLAUME ROCHERON (1917, Life of Pi), and editor NICHOLAS MONSOUR (Us, Action Point). The costumes are designed by ALEX BOVAIRD (The White Lotus, American Honey), the music is by MICHAEL ABELS (Bad Education, Get Out), and the casting is by Emmy Award winner CARMEN CUBA, CSA (The Power of the Dog, Stranger Things). Nope will be released by Universal Pictures worldwide. Read the full article

Part Two: Songs That Remind Me Of The Text*

Alibis - Marianas Trench (Chapter 59 Song)

This is not the man I hoped to be, And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding, I don't know how to word it, I just started to deserve it, And all my, all my faces are alibis, And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be 

Amazing - Foxes (Chapter 46 Song)

See, I've got a wild heart and I can't control it, It keeps on letting me down, I know, with you, tonight could be amazing, Be amazing, I'm scared, to death, still I stood here waiting, Here waiting 

Angel By Your Side - Francesca Battistelli (Chapter 50 Song)

I’ll be the angel by your side, I will get you through the night, I’ll be the strength you can’t provide on your own, ‘Cause when you’re down and out of time, And you think you’ve lost the fight, Let me be the angel 

Awake In A Dream - Hedley

Though I feel like I’m flying, I’m sure my feet are still on the ground, Open my eyes and it’s amazing, How my world is changed when I look around, It’s like I’ve found the road straight to heaven, And that road has lead me right here to you

Bad Dream - Ruelle

Feels like I'm frozen, Nowhere to run, nowhere to run from here, These walls are closing, Closing me in, Wearing me thin with fear

Because Of You - Danny Gokey

Your amazing love can put me back together, When I think all hope is gone, It's incredible knowing you are with me, It gives me strength to keep moving on 

Be The Song - Foy Vance (Chapter 9 Song)

When inner scars, show on your face, and darkness hides, your sense of place, well I won’t speak, I will refrain and be the song, just be the song.

When we tried it, we were a fire with no smoke, Rags to riches but I’m addicted to being broken, Take my breath away, you know I’m bound to choke, When I close my eyes I still see your ghost, So what do I do now? I don’t keep love around, What do I do now?

Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran (Chapter 16 Song)

All I know is we said, "Hello." And your eyes look like coming home, All I know is a simple name, Everything has changed, All I know is you held the door, You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours, All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Field Of Innocence - Evanescence

I still remember the sun, Always warm on my back, Somehow it seems colder now 

Fleurs Captives - Nicole Dollanger (Chapter 29 Song)

Forests - Duologue (Chapter 32 Song)

Given It All - Hayley Kiyoko (Chapter 47 Song)

Tear the walls down, Don't be stupid, meet me halfway to your heart. 

Happily Ever After - He Is We (Chapter 40 Song)

Oh, happily ever after, wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you know. Oh, skip to the ending, who’d like to know, I’d like to know. Author of the moment, can you tell me, do I end up, do I end up happy?

Hard Work - Ella Henderson

You can be hard work but you’re good for me, And though you seem to make my body ache, It’s a feeling I appreciate, Which makes it easier when, You can be hard work but you’re good for me

Heart - Sleeping At Last

Go ahead and laugh, Even if it hurts, Go ahead and pull the pin, What if we could risk, Everything we have, And just let our walls cave in 

I’d Lie - Taylor Swift

I don’t think that passenger seat, Has ever looked this good to me, He tells me about his night, And I count the colors in his eyes, He’ll never fall in love he swears, As he runs his fingers through his hair, I’m laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong, And I don't think it ever crossed his mind, He tells a joke, I fake a smile, But I know all his favorite songs 

If This Is Love - Ruth B

Kiss me now and remind me why, I ever wanted to make you mine, And even though it hurts in this moment, I've always known it, You're the other half of my broken heart

I Was Made For Loving You/Please Don’t Say You Love Me - Kina Grannis ft. The Gardiner Sisters

Please don't go, I've been waiting so long, Oh, you don't even know me at all, But I was made for loving you 

Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)  - Ne-Yo

Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel, Had no example of a love that was even remotely real, How can you understand something that you never had?, Ooh, baby, if you let me, I can help you out with all of that, Girl let me love you, And I will love you 

Let Myself Fall - Rosie Thomas

There's no turning back, There's no turning back, Since I let myself, Fall in love with you 

Love Alone - Katelyn Tarver

I told you my heart's leaning towards you, a little more than I knew something was scaring you. Is it too much or too fast or too forward?Should I step back and pretend I don't feel this way? I don't wanna tell a lie, I don't wanna have to hide. 

Malibu - Miley Cyrus (Chapter 73 Song)

We are just like the waves that flow back and forth. Sometimes I feel like, I'm drowning and you're there to save me, And I wanna thank you with all of my heart, It's a brand new star, A dream come true

Me Without You - Ashley Tisdale

It's just you and me, And there's no one around, Feel like I'm hanging by a thread, It's a long way down, I've been trying to breathe, But I'm fighting for air, I'm at an all time low, With no place to go, But you're always there 

Me Without You - Sam Tsui

No, I don't understand, How I held it together, Before I could hold your hand, And I can't, I can't recall, If I knew who I was before, You knew me flaws and all

Out Of Reach - Gabrielle (Chapter 42 Song)

So much hurt, So much pain, Takes a while, To regain, What is lost inside, And I hope that in time, You’ll be out of my mind, And I’ll be over you 

Over And Over - Rachael Yamagata

So have the ending come, And bring the winds that scream, And spill the fog all over town, And break through every door, And strip away the tree, And raise the rivers high, Just help me drown, And hold me in your standstill ground, I will sink down, And you'll be washed away 

Passion Play - William Fitzsimmons

Are you still on my back, After all these years?, Chasing me out of hell, And my nice veeners, I don't know how you stand, When you've got no floor, Or how you can breathe, With your hands on boards 

Safe And Sound - Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars

Just close your eyes, The sun is going down, You'll be alright, No one can hurt you now, Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound 

Slow - Andy Grammer

I don't want to rush your love, I can never get enough, I'm sitting outside your door, I give you everything you need, Sunshine, the world and all your dreams, So what are we waiting for 

Soldier - Before You Exit

You got holes in your jeans, And few in your heart, You don’t know what it means to me, To watch you fall apart. 'Cause you're broken and bruised, But I can hold you through. I’ll take you in my arms tonight, Just me and you.

Song For A Friend - Dominic Sherwood

There’s no price to pay, When you give and what you take, That’s why it’s easy to thank you

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine (Chapter 21 Song)

My heart’s a stereo, It beats for you, so listen close, Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te, Make me your radio, And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up a little bit), This melody was meant for you, Just sing along to my stereo

Take A Chance On Me - JLS (Chapter 57 Song)

So when you feel like trying again, Reach out, take my hand, See how great it could be, To fall in love with someone you can trust, Who would never give up, 'Cause you're all that he needs, Baby take a chance on me

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New (Chapter 56 Song)

You are calm and reposed, Let your beauty unfold, Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones, Spring keeps you ever close, You are second-hand smoke, You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins, Holding on to yourself the best you can, You are the smell before rain, You are the blood in my veins 

The Fire - Former Vandal

Hold me, just for this moment, darling. Cause I don’t want to be alone.So won’t you hold me? So I can forget my sorrows. The burden’s heavy and the world’s get hard to shoulder on my own. And it grows. 

We Can Hurt Together - Sia

There ain't nothing you can say, To scare me away, I got history too, And it's never to late, Share a secret today, I reciprocate, Baby I got you 

You Always Make Me Smile - Kyle Andrews (Chapter 31 Song)

I like your messy hair, I like the clothes you wear, I like the way you sing, And when you dance with me, I don’t know why I love you, I just know I can’t stop thinking of you

You Ruin Me - The Veronicas (Chapter 3 Song)

We’re that song you wouldn’t sing, Just a broken melody, You’re killing me, You play me like a symphony, Play me till your fingers bleed, I’m your greatest masterpiece, You ruin me, Later when the curtains drawn, And no one’s there for you back home, Don’t cry to me you played me wrong, You ruin me

Wrenn HC:

Wrenn loves and absolutely cherishes his mother and is even protective of her as he is with his sisters, however he sees her as very weak; having grown up at a point where he witnessed her succumbing easily to her emotions, insecurities, and Charidynn’s oppression. Despite Allisae being a literal god now, Wrenn still views his mother as frail and faint of heart, and this extends to his sisters to some degree as well.

[soraeia]

Passive aggressive thing Wrenn will do when he’s mad at you: Not make your meal the way you like it.

Ex: One time he put a fully-cooked hardboiled egg in Yukaine’s ramen when Yuki likes a runny egg.

[soraeia]

Hello, Beautiful.

His lungs won’t except the air he’s breathing. Breaths strained as blood and ebony-stained claws cover his face, stumbling feet trudging through the grass in a hurry before he finally fall to his knees beside a stream clear enough to give him a reflection.

And he hates what he sees.

Yellow eyes with slotted pupils. Fangs too big for a mouth dripping in blood. And black feathers growing in ugly patches along his face where his hair should be. His mother’s hair. Where is his mother’s hair. His mother’s eyes. His father’s smile?

He grunts, more in frustration than pain, as he begins to yank out the feathers one by one. Two by two. Then three by three and eventually in clumps--spots of blood beading where feathers plucked mercilessly by the stem.

This was ugly. This wasn’t him. Where was he? Where were his mother’s eyes? His feather’s smile?

Wrenn continues to pull and pluck until streaks of crimson run down his temples and he’s left holding his face in both shame and pain.

After a few moments he looks at the stream again, and tries to smile at the tarnished silver irises that stare back at him.

“....Hello, Beautiful...”

[desiderium-eden]

Lazuli - Talk about Wrenn!

SEND “TALK ABOUT-” AND A NAME FOR MY MUSE TO TALK ABOUT THAT PERSON!

@soraeia

"Wrenn? Hm... is there much to say? He's fun. Treats Kyrie and me well. At first, it was hard to believe he and Yuuri were brothers. Then I remembered who his dad was. They both just took after a different parent~"

"..."

"He reminds me of the sort of people I grew up around back in Italy. Fun. Straightforward. A bit slutty and I mean outside their profession too. But everyone in the complex looked out for each other. Whether it be warning others about bad clients, emergency babysitting, or sharing food when times were hard. I don't think I've ever felt safer than there."

"And Wrenn gives me a similar feeling. It's almost like another brother. Back from those days..."

[soraeia]

Hmm...brain got an idea but I can't decide...

[soraeia]

“Oh…the sacrifices I would make for your happiness. The lives I would take to right the wrongs done to you…The countless atrocities I would commit in your name. My dearest, you cannot fathom the wars worth starting for your sake.”

He’s unable to be around the Bloomlings and Shroomlings because they get very sick or weak in the presence of his magic, which makes him a little sad because he really wants to pet them and feed them :c
