[I AM FOLLOWING AYESHA K.FAINES RESEARCH OF FEMININE ARCHETYPES]

↳ the sexual feminine archetype of the mystic archetype.

♇ when your percentage of the lover percentage is 70% and over. and when your personal score matches with your percentage engima the most.

♇ the enigma is one of the sexual feminine archetypes that belong to the feminine archetype the mystic, whereas the other sexual feminine archetype is the goddess.

♇ people who belong to the enigma archetype are perceived as earthy and have this mesmerising and magnetic energy that can be depicted as positive.

♇ some of them could be seen as very aloof and can have a resting bitch face. they're spiritual people and positive enigmas have a hard time being narcissistic and cold.

♇ they're people who dont necessarily need fame or attention, [they just focus on what they create and people are attracted to], these women are more focused on their inner peace.

♇ they are people who feel like they need to connect to a higher source of power, its comforting for them to know that there is something bigger than them that they can be lenient on.

♇ since they're people who like peace so much, they could have this tendency of fleeing from situations when they recognise that trouble would be led to them in the end. they're women who are likely to have a sense of high value of themselves and to reach that, they like to ground their energy.

♇ when it comes to romance, they like to make their lover feel seen and heard. enigmas are HUGE lovers, and most of them express their love for them within their music. like when i was writing the enigma post, fka twig's song, pendulum kept on playing in my head.

♇ the lyric "dying to be yours" repeated in my head, sometimes, enigmas are the type of women to drop everything to be and please their significant other. the link to the song :)

♇ they can sometimes overlook their lover's very bad flaws, and can be the type of people to be into open-relationships.

♇ when it comes to non-romantic situations, or in general, they're people who keep a big part of themselves only to themselves, they don't like the idea of people knowing about them 100%.

♇ as it comes to people interacting with them, people might give them the burden of having to fix them.

♇ they can get into episodes where they have a lot of blockages when it comes to expressing their sensuality or creativity. enigmas are the type of people to live in their head than executing their ideas.

when it is not blocked you'll find them to be people with very artistic and original.

♇ though, enigmas come in many forms, even though they are people who can love very deeply, they're also very closed off women. watching interviews of them, most of them have reminded me of manic pixie girls.

♇ they're women who are very strong with their opinions, and since they're strong about their thoughts they can be very poetic. they're woman who can easily express their feelings so people can understand where they are coming from.

♇ when around the right people, they can come off as very chatty but they're the type to speak about everything but themselves.

♇ i have noted that many of them do know how to sing, i've implied that they're creative and enigmas are likely going to be those who take the musician route.

♇ are aware of how society and how poorly it treats people, so they try and help others, [and the earth]. they're people who always like to be prepared and can be considered as very cute. they have this earthy energy to them but still like to indulge in luxury, chiefly for their jewellery.

♇ they like to nurture things so they are the type to get plants or even pets. [and as a stretch could be open to having kids].

♇ when enigmas are really in love with someone or just take a liking too much for a person, they can become very agreeable people, they sometimes become a walking mat or you could say people-pleaser.

♇ after watching tons of interviews many of them do have a raspiness to their voice, could sometimes be because of weed. or just smoking in general.

♇ as it comes to their aesthetic, i have observed many of them like neutral colours and are into self-care. the type to have many skin products.

♇ scent/senses is very important for them and they tend to be very hygienic people.

♇ out of all the feminine archetypes, enigma archetypes are the ones who have the most diverse personalities, makes sense to the title of their archetype, not knowing who or what they specifically are.

♇ are women who are direct with what they want, especially when it does come to romance, confident enigmas know what they want and they get it. they could have many romances but not marry, plus, if they're famous they're likely tired with the attention they get.

♇ are sexually fluid people and love to express their sensuality within their art. many of them love memories and will always be grateful with what they have been taught in the past.

♇ moreover, when i was watching interviews of them, many of them had voices i did not expect them to have. if not careful can get pressured easily and hastily anxious. the type to want to make others feel included. they like to heal, very spiritual people, and as i have said that they remind me of manic pixies, the more i did my research on them, the more i realised they're very fairy-like.

♇ they're people who are interested in research and like to embrace their powerful feminine side. the type to indulge in witch-craft; some enigmas can be very insecure about their face, can be interested in cosmetic surgery, [even though all of them are gorgeous]. + also noticed many of them have very curvy bodies.

♇ can appear as two-faced or fake because they want to set a certain reputation of themselves. don't like drama or would walk away from the mess they made. they do like to be left alone and due to this people might consider them as boring, but they just have a wall in front of their real personality.

♇ as they are people who like to ground themselves, they are people who are long to temper, or try not to be easily tempered.

fashion wise, they are people who know their colours really well. are likely going to wear gold jewellery.

♇ and can sometimes come off as very bimbo-like because of their lack of care for things. they are people who are very open about their past, and majority of the time, young enigmas were forced into the spotlight. [asia monet ray + kourtney kardashian].

♇ they are great entertainers and can be favoured in what they do. what makes them more likeable is their sunny appearance. some of them display themselves as delicate. on the other hand, people might find them to be weird.

♇ sometimes enigmas can come off as childlike and a lot of them have chubby-cheeks.

other enigmas ↴

♇ enigmas i put above are fka twigs, krotchy, frida kahlo, greta garbo, kourtney kardashian and nicole kidman.

♇ understanding the enigma archetype, is that it shows that they are women who are usually deeply underestimated when it comes to their intelligence, spiritual women who are on a hermit path of understanding themselves and others.

♇ and to make the enigma archetype easier to comprehend i gathered characters from different tv shows or films that come under the archetype.

⟶ harry potter franchise - luna lovegood, embodies the shy and kept to themselves side of the enigmas, [as i said they are a very fluid and diverse archetype], as enigmas, luna is perceived to be someone who is strange but doesnt allow it to make her feel insecure. she helps other people and is kind, embraces her quirkiness.

⟶ from american horror story [coven] - misty day, the stereotypical spiritual enigma who cares for nature and the earth. has a special connection with animals and with life itself, very caring and eccentric, and as a healthy enigma, she doesnt allow people's views of her to bring her down.

⟶ avatar the way of water - kiri, when i was thinking of fictional characters who are the enigma, kiri was the first character that appeared in my head. she is connected with the earth, creative and connects herself to a higher source of power, [even though she is already connected to eywa from what i believe]. is connected to life and death.

⟶ from friends - phoebe buffay, embodies the childlike nature of the enigma, the nature where people perceive them to be "ditzy". when she is around the people she likes, she can come off as very chatty.

⟶ naruto franchise - hinata hyuga/uzumaki, embodies the shy nature of the enigma. the enigma that loves with their all, can have creative blockages and people underestimate who she is and her power. hinata is aware of how the world poorly treats people as she did belong to clan that didnt really care for their people. [ex. neji]. sometimes expresses the mysterious side an enigma can be.

⟶ from the original franchise - freya mikaelson, is the witch of her family and is very connected to nature, chiefly because of the time she was born. she is someone who likes to ground herself and is one of the siblings who thinks things out the most, will do anything for the sake of love and family. strong opinions and holds a strong bond of life and death, like misty day.

⟶ the last of us - dina woodward, likes to be connected to a higher source, shows when she gives ellie the evil eye bracelet, embodies the expressive side of the enigma and is likely open to "open-relationships" chiefly due to her bond with jesse and ellie. she is direct with what she wants, does like her peace.

⟶ from the haunting of hill house - nell crain, some people overlook her connection to a higher source of power; to see how you are going to die since you were young is pretty psychic. had spiritual phases and like many enigma characters is very connected with death, had tried to ground herself but wasnt able, especially becuase of her therapist. does keep a big part of herself but she normally did that because she didnt want to burden her siblings.

⟶ winx club - flora, represents the kind, nature-loving and mysterious side of the enigma, especially with the vibrant colours she wears, it might not really appear that there's this secrecy and mystery to flora's character but ever since i've watched the show when i was young, i've always noted an essence of puzzle and unsolved problem when it comes to her. like she's there but not at the same time.

⟶ from euphoria - cassie howard, you might wonder how cassie belongs to the enigma archetype and the girl embodies everything that an underdeveloped enigma is. is willing to drop everything for her lover, look past the red-flags and become what their lovers wants them to be. cassie is a big lover girl, and likes to make her lovers feel seen and heard, especially for what she did to nate, telling him she can be whatever he wants her to be.

♇ as i have done my research, i gathered that a lot of enigmas are are likely going to have capricorn, leo and pisces in their big three; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ they are also going to have leo, capricorn and taurus appear in their dominant signs; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ the planets jupiter, sun and pluto appeared in their dominant planets the most; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ the element that appeared the most was earth, second was fire and third was water.

♇ lastly, when it comes to the modality, what appeared the most was fixed and the second modality was mutable.

Celebrating Walker- Week 1, Day 4

Favorite romantic dynamic

For today's topic, I just have to talk about Cassie/Luna.

I'm forever upset that Luna was horribly, unnecessarily murdered the way he was, especially after all the time they spent setting up his and Cassie's relationship. He had such a wonderful, supportive relationship with Cassie, even in just the short time they were together. They had compatible personalities, similar hobbies, and I think Justin and Luna would've both made great additions to the regular cast.

It just breaks my heart that we lost such a supportive, loving relationship for no real reason and I will be spending the rest of my days living out my fantasies in fanfiction </3

Embers Academy Spellcasting Tournament: Potions (Group 4)

potion challenge group 1, group 2, group 3

rules:

everyone's needs are locked. i don't want anyone to be at a disadvantage because they got stuck in simulation lag or spent all their time in bathroom line with other 31 people

they have 12 hours to learn 3 potions through practice. for each potion learned they get 24 points, plus 1 point for each full half an hour left after the last learned potion

autonomy is off, but if someone decides to leave their cauldron for whatever reason, i let them finish that action that distracted them before returning them to the task. their fault if they're easily distracted, a spellcaster must have patience and grit

the fourth group: Walpurgis Valborg, Alessio Skint, Raelyn Luna, Daliah Noir, Dax Sommer, Cassie Bautista, Gemma Charm, Aurelius Borealis

the class started with one empty cauldron and realizing that grandpa is missing. after looking for him everywhere, we found out that he married minerva charm (and for some reason the two of them decided to become homeless together, but that is beside the point). now let it sink... he'll be dueling his new stepdaughter

he regularly took breaks to wander around aimlessly with no task in mind, peeked in alessio's potion, and had paranoid episodes for no reason

speaking of his new stepdaughter, here's gemma (and glenn as an ingredient in her cauldron... eh, he'll be fine, it's not actually boiling, he just likes being chaotic). she learned a potion named "forced friendship". probably because of a friend as an ingredient.

poor walpurgis didn't have a great day and scored zero... either alchemy isn't her thing, or she was too stressed about other things. she also crushed on ayrin (ayrin is quite a heartthrob!) and later on aurora

dax is such a pure soul, they spent time before the competition watering plants and picking up bins

daliah got tired of stirring by hand

raelyn had a support group

cassie was doing what everyone was doing, but she kept getting apples and frogs and herbs all the time, and i couldn't figure out why, but now she has apples and frogs

alessio just decided to make mac and cheese because why not

results:

aurelius and raelyn - learned three potions each. raelyn understandably, but how did grandpa manage to pull that off?

cassie, daliah and dax - learned two potions each, plus cassie has a lot of apples. and frogs.

gemma - learned one potion, but a unique one, no one else learned it. it doesn't score more points, but it's definitely something to be proud of

alessio - also learned one potion, but he has a whole cauldron of mac and cheese instead of boring potions. priorities.

walpurgis - was too busy crushing on girls and holding grudges and didn't learn anything :(

Fazkids Content Update!

Yoooo that one fnaf AU it's still alive?

Okay to start

• what have we been up to this year and a half?

The group took this time to create what we can call the spiderweb between characters, planning pasts, connecting stories, Finishing the story, remaking designs to fit in the lore, creating families between the characters and adding details to connect everything.

Personally, I took this time to improve my art style and start the fazkids project with quality.

Example:

June 8 2023 | march 30 2025

Right now almost every single character has it's own story, future, Personality and Dynamics (We even made aus of the au for some characters)

Here's a list of most of the characters we have right now:

Cassie, Luke, Mona, Bryan, Six, Alec, Aeri, Mari, Chloe, Maxxy, Diana, Lilith, Luna, Luca, Lucas, Ethan, Matthew, Milo, Charlie, Maverick, Molly, Aziel, Gloria, Matilda, Adiva, Cordelia, Aurora, Robbie, Hernan, Jade, Jason (And some other side characters)

•What will the project be?

At first, we planned it to be a Fangame, yes a security breach fangame called "Into the Rabbit hole" it was one of the first projects this Au had, I was so excited that I even tried to learn 3D modeling to help my friend Dj_Ratman with the game

Proof:

And I also made some Art for the game, like these ones:

but, that project had only 1 developer and even tho it is still alive, it will take WAYYY a lot of time, so we changed to plan B, a Fanfic, it was going to be written by Remy, a Friend of us, but we never saw Remy again after some months of work, wich means that file is missing...

Some time later I had the Idea of making Videos in the Arg style, We planned a show made by fazbear to be the main face of the Arg, It was called "The polly and Titi show"

I won't speak much about it because We may retake it at some point, but for now it's frozen.

At this point a lot of time had passed and we had nothing to show, so I decided to make a comic, which would be set two years before the main events of the fazkids story, to show a little bit of how some of the kids and other characters met and interacted with each other before throwing the whole lore to the table. BUT I never thought about the fact that out of 13 people on the team, it was just me and three other friends making that comic, which, again, would take a long time to do. (I was able to draw only 5 pages, I didn't even finish chapter 1).

So that comic was scrapped too, But! Now We decided to turn THAT story into a Novel, Like a fanmade Tales from the pizzaplex, For real this time!1!!

We currently have 5 chapters in drafts, and sooner than later we will post chapter 1!!

• What now?

Well, we're currently working on the novel. I'm planning to talk a little about each character so you can get to know them better before they appear in the novel. So, Keep an eye around!

Finally, we apologize for making you wait for so long, and thank those who continue to this day even though we haven't posted anything other than the designs; you're incredible! And know that we've seen your fan arts and fanmade designs, We love everything! And we hope we can see you when this projects becomes something more than just an idea.

Walker series finale review

It’s only been a week since Cordell nearly died and Luna died in Cassie’s arms, so their people are hard at work being there for them.  Like the start of season 3, Cordell wants everything back to the way it was and overcompensates by being extra, but his family simply want him to be in the present with them, and then take one step at the time. 

Stella tells her dad that there is no version of life where he’s being gone is better, it will just be a different kind of pain.  She gives him the letters he wrote while he was undercover in case he doesn’t make it out alive.  She and August didn’t read the letters because it came from a different version of their father and they don’t need that now.  However, perhaps Cordell do, and figures it out from there.

Despite Cordell’s assurance to Geri that the Jackal case was an “exception of exceptions”, Geri wisely tells him that there’s always going to be “the next big case” and when it happens, she wants Cordell to go to her for support.  This makes me super happy that Geri doesn’t demand that he cuts back on his work or give up his job altogether but wants to be there for him when his job inevitably gets messy again.

Cassie has to reach back to the past to galvanize herself into thinking about a different future than the one she planned with Luna and goes to the lieutenant job interview.  Trey appears to give a stronger interview, but he’s only been a ranger a short time and the job goes to Cassie.  Of course it does because they changed Cassie’s personality from Cordell-lite in season 2&3 to James-lite in season 4, so she got the lieutenant job as the newly minted female version of Larry James, who was also Cordell’s previous partner.  Anybody remember when she and Cordell tamper with evidence just to satisfy their curiosity? (X) It was actually one of my favorite scenes.

The job promotion further propels Cassie to “leap forward” into a new future.  It also means Cassie will no longer be Cordell’s partner, which is for the best because emotionally she blames him for Luna’s death even when she's concerned about Cordell and asked Geri how he is doing. Two things can be true.  I predicted a while back (looking for the specific post) that Cordell and Trey would eventually become partners and now that it’s confirmed, we are robbed of that dynamic in season 5.

August graduation party is crowded and loud and its cathartic for the audience to see everybody happy and celebrating. We even see Cassie smiling at Cordell’s toast to his son, August Edward Walker, and the rest of the family.  Here I was expecting a Shakespearean middle name for August but it’s from Emily who was a Twilight fan.  Liam and Ben declared themselves team Jacob and just like that they’re moving in together.

The party grows raucous, and Bonham and Abilene hide out in their house.  Abilene apologizes to Bonham for abandoning him while she was launching her wedding venue business and assures him that she wants to oversee and “meddle”, not deal with the bride of the week.  Nope she’s leaving bride handling to the gay guy.  Bonham compromise by keeping the boat and uses it for her events as a tax write off.  Win win!

Cordell takes a leave of absence for the summer to take August, Stella, and Geri (and a secret ring box) on a much-needed vacation, which Cassie grants on the first day of the lieutenant job because “they both need this”. A time apart from each other and away from the daily reminders will do them both good.

While the finale is a 'happy ending', there are underlying sadness that's been there since the pilot episode, starting with Cordell, then Micki, and now Cassie. Each of them has lost romantic partners to death and Cordell said time doesn't heal everything. What is unspoken is work and more work will get them through the pain of grief.

As Bonham and Abeline enjoys a boat ride and Cordell and his children and Geri head out of town, an unexpected double cliffhanger happens: Liam gets recruited by the governor for a secret job and he’s whisked away by men in black in front of the impressed Ben; the Davidson lands is sub-leased by a hippie version of SPN Lucifer, due to his all-white outfit, who is none other than Dawson Leery, played of course by a grinning James Van Der Beek!

Final score: 9.7. Point 1 deduction for each arcs we won't see in season 5: Cordell and Trey's new partnership , Liam's new job from the governor, and new neighbor cult leader Dawson Leery

December 22 - Sparkle | word count: 740 | @wolfstarmicrofic

Stomping the snow from his boots, Remus fumbles for the house key with his free hand. But with his gloved hand, he cannot detangle the mess of keys and hand-crafted chains. Reluctantly, he grips the glove between his teeth and pulls it free. The icy winter air hits his fingers, joints instantly locking up. He isn’t sure which was more difficult, operating around the gloves, or his half working hands.

Eventually, he manages to find the right key and fit it into the lock. Opening the door is another challenge where he almost drops his paper bag of purchases. He manages to catch it, but the paper bag splits at the corners, only stopped by clutching it against his chest.

“Fy Seren! I’m home!”

He clumsily shoves the door closed, and practically drops the paper bag on the side table by the door. Luckily, the keys make their way from his fingers into the ceramic moon dish on the table.

Tiny footsteps come charging down the hall. Not Sirius then, Cassie. Lips crooking up in a smile, he kicks off his boots, but keeps the jacket on. Sure enough, when he turns around, Cassie is right there. She is hugging her small wolf plush, a sparkle of mischief in her eyes.

“Papa!”

“Hello there, Darling. Have fun with Dadda today?”

“We made Santa cookies!”

“Ooh, sounds fun.” Pocketing one of his purchases, he turns to scoop Cassie into his other arm, propping her up on his hip. Luckily, she knows how it goes now, wrapping her legs around his side to prevent herself from sliding down.

He weaves through the house to the kitchen where Sirius remains hunched over the countertop, biting his lip in concentration.

“Dadda! I got Papa!”

Sirius glances up, the wrinkle of concentration smoothing out as his eyes land on Remus. Just locking eyes is enough for both of them. Sirius is able to relax, no longer tense and afraid he will somehow mess Cassie up and become like his mother. And Remus is able to relax, no longer having to worry about keeping up pretenses around strangers afraid of how they would treat a healthy-looking man in his thirties with a cane. That is something Remus is eternally grateful, and doesn’t think will ever fade. The ease they feel around each other, and how they can relax the others tensions of the day, no matter how stressful.

“I see that, little one.” Sirius sets down the icing bag and shuffles across the kitchen to loop his arms around Remus from behind. “How was your day, Baby?”

“A bit hectic, Lily had to stay home and watch Luna today, so it was just me. Glad I’m home now.”

“Mmm.” Sirius hums into his shoulder.

“I’ve got something special for you two.”

“Oh?”

“Well, it’s really for Cassie, but I think you will love it just as much.”

Still propping Cassie up, he uses his still aching hand to pull the pack of sparklers free.

“Sticks? I know you think it’s funny to call me a dog, but it’s really not.” Sirius grumbles, pulling away to cross his arms. But his eyes, the constant window to his soul, betrays that he doesn’t mind it all too much.

“They are sparklers. When you light the end, they are like mini fireworks that you can carry around.”

“I don’t like fireworks.” Sirius pouts. Ah yes. He claims he is nothing like a dog, as though he doesn’t share most of his mannerisms with them, and is terrified of fireworks. “Don’t laugh.”

“It’s kind of funny.”

“It’s not!”

“Funny! Funny!” Cassie giggles.

“See, your daughter agrees.”

“She is a traitor.”

“Fine. More for Cassie then, here Darling. I need you to hold this steady for me, and keep it away from your eyes, okay?”

“OK!”

He sets her down on the floor, not willing to risk a sparkler to the eye, and lights the end. Almost instantly, the end sparks to life. A small bundle of sparks illuminating Cassie’s chubby face, reflecting in her wide eyes. Remus remembers his first time seeing one of these. He remembers the magic feeling in his chest, the way he felt the urge to run wild into the night, waving the sparkling stick as though it were a wand. Sure enough, moments later, Cassie squeals and starts running in circles, waving the stick around in figure eights.

“… Okay, maybe I do want one.”

Return to normalcy: Part 1

< Previous | Next >

Text below the cut

Xavier arrives at the playground with his wife, Cassie, and their children, Levi and Kami. The four of them start making their way over to the play area, looking for the others as they walk. He and two of his siblings made arrangements to meet up and have a playdate for the kids. It’s something they like to do on occasion so the little ones could socialize and spend time with their cousins, but due to recent events they haven’t been able to do so for a while.

Realizing that they are the first to arrive, Xavier scouts out a picnic bench beside the playground to serve as a meeting spot for everyone. When the spot is secured, Xavier urges the kids to go play and plops down on the bench, keeping an eye on the children as they run around. Cassie finds her spot next to him and rests her head on his shoulder.

“This is nice, isn’t it?” she says “It’s been a while since we’ve been able to do something as a family.”

“Yes, very.” he replies

It is a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky and the temperature was just perfect, not too hot, not too cold. There is a slight breeze that keeps the air from feeling stagnant and keeps the heat at bay. It felt good brushing across his overly-sensitive skin.  He gazes at his wife still nestled against him and smiles. He missed being able to do this.

A few minutes later, he spies his twin sister, Luna, coming down the path, her twin daughters, Harper and Hadley, in tow. Xavier notes the lack of the other two household members.

As she approaches, Xavier waves in greeting. Luna struggles to juggle the squirming toddlers but eventually makes it over to the table. She releases the children and encourages them to join the others. 

“Full of energy, huh?” Xavier asks.

“Just a little,” Luna replies, catching her breath. “Toddlers, you know. Never a dull moment.”

“Sounds about right.” Xavier says, thinking back to when his kids were toddlers.

Cassie, still seated next to Xavier, smiles and looks up at Luna. She’s clearly happy to see her old friend. They haven’t had much time to hang out in recent months so now they could finally get caught up.

“Hey Luna. You’re looking well.” Cassie says

“You as well.” Luna smiles. “You’ve been keeping my brother in check, I hope?”

“Of course. Someone has to.” Cassie says.

The girls giggle and glance at Xavier as if to read his reaction. He doesn’t give them anything so they continue chatting. After a few minutes, Cassie stands up, gives Luna a quick hug, then walks nearer to the play area to supervise the little ones, leaving the two siblings alone to talk.

Luna joins Xavier on the bench. She looks tired and slightly stressed out. Being a parent to toddlers will do that to you.

Xavier wonders about her husband, Aidan, and son, Finn.

“Where are the boys?” he asks.

“Finn isn’t feeling well, so Aidan stayed behind with him. Full moon tonight.”

“Ah, I see. Poor kid. Hope he feels better soon.”

Luna’s oldest child inherited lycanthropy from his father and struggles with the effects of the curse. The days surrounding the full moon, especially the day of, cause him to feel ill and achy. Luna and Aidan dedicate most of their time to comfort him on those days. This explains why Luna seems on-edge today. 

Luna frowns and sighs.

“I wish there was something I could do for him. I hate seeing him in so much pain and not being able to help. It makes me feel like a bad mother, you know?”

Xavier gives Luna a surprised look. His sister is far from a bad mother. She’s always going above and beyond for her children, sacrificing sleep and anything else necessary to meet their needs. Xavier hates seeing her so defeated, and could practically feel her dismay, so he tries to comfort her.

“Don’t say that, Luna. You do everything for those kids. You’re doing your best and that’s all anyone can ask for.”

She sits in silence for a few moments.

“It’s our fault, though.” she finally replies. “If Aidan and I were more careful… I love him, and would do anything for him, but I feel so guilty that he is like this because of us.”

Xavier is unsure how to respond. She’s right, technically. He remembers how rough her pregnancy was with him, how she almost died. If she had chosen not to keep him things would have been easier for everyone. He doesn’t fault her for her decision, and he understands why she feels the way that she does. But now Finn has to deal with the consequences because of her choices.

“Loving him is the best thing you can do for him. Some things are out of our control and we just have to do what we can. Who knows? Maybe one day he can be cured and not have to deal with this anymore.”

Luna’s eyes widened in fear. She’s seems to be remembering what Aidan went through when he was cured. There’s no way she’d subject her son to that same torture. 

Before she could respond, Xavier clarifies. “I don’t mean the same method as Aidan’s cure. I’m just thinking that maybe someday someone will develop a cure that’s safe for people like him. It’s bound to happen eventually.”

Luna relaxes a little. 

“That would be nice.” 

Obviously tired of talking about it, and probably regretting bringing it up, she changes the topic.

“Christian is coming, right?”

“Supposed to be.”

Xavier glances at the time on his phone. Late again. He’s not surprised in the slightest. Christian has always been bad about being on time for anything, work especially. Xavier has come to expect it at this point, but it doesn’t mean that he isn’t disappointed in how irresponsible his little brother tends to be.

To be continued...

Luna Jane Arabella Berry-Jones Flores, is my ramshackle sona and lover of Vinnie, She is a rich girl that has a mean and stuck up behavior at the start but slowly becomes sweeter, nurturing, nice and caringto more people, she's also very curious and since she decided to be different LOVES to learn new stuff, but please don't mess with her routine.

She starts off as mean and oblivious and naive as the others until one day she goes to one of the many ramshackle's next top sweetheart pageants as a guest for winning three times when she was a infant, and seeing a certain brunette scrap fight some lootbags, which somehow made her start to have "strange feelings" (she's gay and in love but she needs to listen to Chappell Roan to know that)

She then has more unexpected meetings with Vinnie that is basically Luna and Vinnie bickering, Vinnie pranking Luna in some way and Luna leaving confused, angry but also flustered at Vinnie's nature.

She then starts discovering herself and loses that obliviousness and wants to start getting to know scraps her and Vinnie slowly start becoming friends but always still with a tension.

The thing Luna still is oblivious with her feelings (GOOD LUCK BABE, YOU'LL HAVE TO STOP THE WORLD JUST TO STOP THE FEELING) and I think surely Vinnie thinks Luna is too good for her.

I didn't know how to make a intro for a blog so I took @small-world-au 's intro as a template (of course with their permission) so thankssssssss darling!

Here's some songs that remind me of Luna or her lady and the tramp thing with Vinnie.

VOICECLAIM: CASSIE "SKINS"☄️⃟★٭

EDIT!

Luna after the occurrence with Vinnie she starts writing this tiny magazine, where she writes all the towns gossip, she obviously wouldn't be allowed to do this so she writes these tiny magazines with a alter ego called "Lady Amourville" and to not be discovered she also writes a bit of gossip about herself... At the start she writes only about the gossip between the rich folk but then as she becomes less and less ignorant she writes more and more about the scraps at a point where she writes about scraps equally if not more than the rich folk and it slowly becomes a testimony book and a way to show the rich folk that they're not so different from the scraps, that they all have they're dark sides, problems and love affairs and some metal and paper can't make them different from eachother. So it basically becomes a instrument to show her advancing as a character, and also that's it's heavily inspired in Lady Wistledown from "the Bridgertons".

(Maybe I'll start writing little chapters and things about her storyline in ramshackle and her romance with Vinnie, let me know if you'd guys like that and your completely allowed to make fan-things for the Ladytramp (Luna x Vinnie) ship and for my character, as long as you give me credit and also because I LOVE WHEN MUTUALS DRAW AND MAKE FAN-STUFF, FOR MY SELFSHIPS I'LL REBLOG YOU AND THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES LIKE A LITTLE GIRL RECEIVING A TRIP TO DISNEYLAND AND I'M SERIOUS!!!💕💕)

Miss Mia will never admitted it fully but she’s emotional and has her moments insecurity across the board. In response she is often used humor to cope with any kind of worries she got. But sometimes she brings up the thoughts she has.

Luna gasped, “She got a point!”

Liane eating popcorn with Rick watching it all go down giggling

~~

Mia tends to go a little overboard with things especially when she starts nesting too early in the season

SHE JUST WANTS THE PLACE TO LOOK COMFY AND COZY! That’s all she ask 😌

She tends to be a bit dramatic and silly too, often when she’s in a mood.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I forgetting something? Oh god, did I say something wrong? Don’t laugh!”

She will eventually get over it and go back to normal

She gets excited over the littlest things too!

Mia is often a tad bit clumsy and lack the energy to do things around the house at times. She adopts a lazy era 💅🏻

But everyone loves her all the same in the end!

Happy Dragon Day!!!

Ever since watching the show Dragon Tales as a kid and watching the dragons Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezy go on fun adventures as a kid, I have loved loved loved dragons. No matter the genre or medium, I love dragon. I love the lore, the idea and the legends and multiple views of dragons around the world!

So, I will be going over a list of all time favorite dragons that hold a special place in my heart.

To start, I wanted to share some love for the dragon spirit that helped me realize that I would have a growing love for dragons

Seeing his dragon form for the first time then his transformation definitely helped with my interest but also his and Chihiro's little head nuzzle! My heart!

Next: Jake Long

Sadly, I only watched the reruns of the show so I could not get to see a lot of it before they pulled it off the air but it always had a special place in my heart when I saw the clips online on the Disney Channel website. Plus I liked the concept of ancient dragons in the modern world. Helps that he is also voice by Dante Basco, who is also Zuko, who also has Druk the dragon.

Next, Toothless

Small note: I love this guy so much, I got a plushie of him and still have him to this day. Plus his sass and antics with Hiccup always puts a smile on my face.

Also, Spyro

I remember watching older kids play this game and always wanted to play when I saw this little guy on the screen and loved playing the game when I finally got my own play station.

In the realm of gaming I have to also highlight my love for my gaming dragons, so to list off: Blue Eyes White Dragon, Red Eye Black Dragon, Dragonite, Garchomp Flygon, Dialga, Giratina . Just to name a few.

Back to movies, have to also include Mushu

And to add a bit flare, I wanted to add two of my current husbandos Fictional crushes of Dan Heng, or Imbibitor Lunae Vidyadhara high elder

And Honorary notice because of his mystic form Sylus

Well that is all for now. Happy Dragon day everyone!

Wake Up

Relationship(s): David Luna/Cassie Perez

Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe- Canon Divergence, Everybody Lives, Near Death Experiences, Coma, Hospitals, Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary: AU where Luna didn't die, just needed some time to heal

Written for @sicktember Day 24: Tales From The Waiting Room

A/N: This is just me living vicariously through fic because this is what I actually wanted ;-;

Taglist: @theladywyn, @ihavepointysticks, @klaatu51, @neptunium134, @itsjessiegirl1

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

Cassie should be at the office right now. There was a serial killer to interrogate, an investigation to finish. There was paperwork to be done and press conferences to prepare for. Her team needed her in the office, something her constantly buzzing phone kept reminding her of.

But she couldn’t leave. Not yet. Not until she knew if David would be okay.

Everything had been fine just a few hours ago. David had told her he loved her and she almost said it back. David had backed her up when she was worried Walker had gotten her into some kind of trouble. David had been the first to run into danger to help a colleague.

And then he’d almost flatlined on the way to the hospital and no one could give her any answers.

She just needed to know. She almost didn’t care if the truth was awful, if he was dying and nothing could be done to save him. But she couldn’t focus on the case or anything else until she knew something.

It was almost two hours later before a nurse finally took pity on her and went to fetch one of the doctors.

“Can I see him?” she asked first.

“No, not at the moment. He’s in stable condition but he’s in the ICU so we’re limiting visits to family only. It’s just policy, you understand.”

Cassie itched to flash her badge. “Well, can you tell me anything else about his condition? He’s a vital part of our investigation.” And I love him and I need to tell him that.

“There’s not much to tell at the moment, I’m afraid. He’s alive, we’ve done everything we can to keep him that way, but we won’t know the extent of his condition until he wakes up.”

“And when will that be?”

“We’re not sure. He’s currently under medical sedation to help with his healing process but once that wears off, we’ll just have to wait and see.”

It wasn’t what she wanted to hear. But it was an answer. It was some level of closure. And that was all she needed.

“Please call me with any updates. I want to be able to tell him he got his man.”

“We will.”

Cassie nodded and turned on her heel to leave the hospital. She had a job to do.

—---------------

Cassie watched from the entrance of the empty construction site as Rebecca Tillman was put into the back of a police car. She would be taken in for further questioning, but her father’s confession and the scratches on her arm would put her away for a long time.

The case was solved. The day was saved. The Jackal would be put away for life. The families of their victims could finally have closure.

Cassie should be happy, or at least relieved. This was another feather in her cap, another reason to be given that promotion, another success under her belt.

But she felt hollow. Numb. Because even if the bad guy was caught and the case was closed, David was still laying in that hospital bed. The medical sedation would be wearing off soon, but there was no guarantee he would wake up after. Cassie may never get the chance to tell him she loves him too.

It was funny, in a way. She’d been so optimistic during the final investigation, during the chase, that in the end, she would be able to return to David with a successful arrest and maybe a funny-in-hindsight story.

But now it was over, and all she could think was that she hadn’t heard anything from the hospital yet and that he’d basically been dead when she found him in the woods and he’d already lost so much blood and-

And all this might not be happening if Walker had just listened to her.

Maybe the Jackal would’ve targeted him anyway. Maybe David would’ve gone down during the final arrest anyway. Maybe if Walker hadn’t been so reckless, they never would’ve caught him.

But that didn’t change the fact that he lied to her, lied to everyone, for no real reason. That didn’t change the fact that they didn’t know where he was for hours and they got lucky he was dumb enough to use a credit card for the motel. That didn’t change the fact that they were too busy rushing to make sure Walker made it home alive that they didn’t have time to call backup for themselves.

That didn’t change the fact that if it weren’t for Walker, David wouldn’t have been in those woods, alone and nearly defenseless. That didn’t change the fact that he was laying in a hospital bed, with no guarantee he would see outside of it again.

Walker tried to approach her but Cassie firmly turned away. She couldn’t face the man that essentially killed the love of her life. Not right now, at least. Not until she knew if David would live or not.

She just needed an answer. Once she had an answer, she could make her next game plan.

—---------------

It had been almost two weeks since David was nearly killed. It had been almost two weeks since the medical sedation wore off and it was up to him to wake up on his own.

It had been almost two weeks since Cassie had heard David’s voice or his laugh or seen his beautiful eyes and she wasn’t sure how much more of this she could take.

His family had been contacted (what little of it there was) and none of them seemed keen to make any real decisions about what to do. It wasn’t as simple as pulling the plug; he was living just fine on his own, just unconscious. But was it really living like that? If there was no guarantee he would wake up again?

Cassie shook her head and tried to focus on picking an outfit for August’s graduation party. It was stupid to grieve someone who wasn’t dead yet. He could wake up tomorrow and be perfectly fine and she would feel stupid.

She tried to ignore the voice in her head that sounded a little too much like Lucas. She couldn’t go there. Not now. Not yet. Not when there was so much to celebrate. August was graduating, Sadie was moving to Austin full time, Cassie had just received a promotion, Geri was getting ready to open her dream second location, and Walker may have finally learned some hard lessons about work-life balance.

She could be sad later. Right now, she had to slap a smile on her face and play nice for a couple hours. It’s what David would want for her. She could manage that.

She really did want to celebrate. August just made it through one of the most stressful periods he’d ever face in his life- high school. Everyone was so proud of him, especially with everything the family had been through the last few years. He could go far with a work ethic like that.

It was just hard to be surrounded by all this positive energy when her heart was stuck in a dark hole of grief she wasn’t sure she even deserved to feel.

After two hours, she started thinking of decent excuses to leave. She knew no one would blame her if she didn’t have one, but she didn’t want to be rude.

Then, she got a phone call.

“He’s awake. And he’s asking for you.”

Cassie barely had the forethought to stammer an excuse to Walker on her way out.

David was okay. He was awake. And he wanted to see her.

That was all the answer she needed.

Cinnamon Girls

 

Cassie Luna ( @acslytherpuffx ) Cariad Faiythe. 

Summary: Cassie comes home to her wife baking her famous cinnamon rolls.

The fire was crackling and a record was playing on the gramophone in the Loyal Moon Bakery. They’d turned Cariad’s shop in hogsmeade into a bakery. 

Cariad was currently making cinnamon rolls, knowing her wife had a stressful week. 

Cassie came through the doors and immediately smelt the cinnamon, eyes lighting up in delight like a child on Christmas. 

“Hello Mrs Luna, can I please order a cinnamon roll and the cute baker?” Cassie smiled, coming up to the counter. Cariad’s heart fluttered whenever Cassie reminded her that she was a Luna now.

“Ah, good timing. They’re fresh, just for you.” Cariad had her usual soft grin and lovestruck expression whenever she looked at Cassie. She was totally enamoured. 

She passed Cassie the pastry but the brunette noticed something on Cariad’s lips. The cinnamon roll glaze. Her expression softened and she leaned across the counter.

“If you wanted a kiss you could’ve just asked.” She giggled, before leaning in and brushing her lips with Cariad’s. 

“Merlin, tá tú ionraic. Is breá liom tú.” She whispered against her lips. She love show playful, funny, sweet Cassie was. Completely smitten from the moment they’d met. 

Cassie giggled at the Irish. She had learnt for Cariad, in secret of course, to understand her flirting. 

“Is breá liom tú freisin, cailín deas.”

Cariad gasped against Cassies lips and fumbled to remember any Albanian, because Cassie had made the effort to learn Irish. 

“Keni mësuar irlandez? A mund të martohem sërish me ty?!”

“Very good love!” Cassie ruffled her hair. She hung up her coat and walked around the counter. Cariad traced the heart shaped freckle on her face in awe. Cassie leaned in for another kiss, puckering her lips, but Cariad just stuffed a cinnamon roll in her mouth and laughed. 

“Go on Cass, get into your pyjamas and we can cuddle on the couch, you’ve had a long day, hm?

Soon, Cariad closed the bakery, but the fire was still roaring in the Loyal Moon Bakery. It was domestic and sweet, the atmosphere cozy and warm. And it felt like home.

next chapter is here!

"How do you know a firefighter as well?" Ciara asked as Cassie stood on tiptoe to knock on the door. "Wait, were you caught in a fire?! Did they save you?"

"No, nothing like that!" Cassie giggled. "She's a family friend, that's all. And she said she needed some help wrapping presents for the gift exchange at the fire station."

The door opened, and a tall, muscular woman opened the door. Her blonde hair was cropped, and her eyes were bright blue. "Cassie! Hi!"

"Hi Maura!" Cassie waved up at the woman, gesturing to Ciara. "This is Ciara! She's gonna help as well!" 

"How thoughtful!" The woman clapped Cassie on the back, gesturing her in. “We need all the help we can get. I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to take on the job of wrapping all the presents for White Elephant this year.”

“What’s White Elephant again?” A small voice shouted from inside the apartment. Ciara looked into the apartment, finding three girls sitting in the middle of the living room. Two looked to be twins, with matching blonde and blue hairstyles. The other one was taller, with long shaggy hair akin to a mane. The twins looked around seven, while the other girl looked about eight.

“Hi you three!” Cassie said, bending down to look at all of them. “Ciara, this is Solana, Luna, and Liona. Guys, this is my new friend Ciara.”

“Hi!!” The tallest girl—Liona—waved enthusiastically. “You’re here to help out with presents too?”

“Uh, yeah.” Ciara was spending a lot of time with kids lately. Perhaps Cassie was just a magnet for children, the kids being drawn in by her kindness and sincerity.

“We’re going to help too!” Solana—or was it Luna? They seemed to be identical twins—piped up. “By playing music!”

“I see!” Cassie nodded along. Ciara leaned over to her.

“Which twin is which?” She whispered as the twins scrambled to get their iPads out. “Sorry, I genuinely can’t tell.”

“The one wearing yellow is Solana,” Cassie whispered back. Maura ruffled Solana’s head as she walked by her to get the numerous unwrapped boxes. “And the one wearing blue is Luna.”

“Ah.” Now that Ciara looked closer, Solana was wearing a sun hair clip and Luna was wearing a moon hair clip. She couldn’t fault some on point theming.

“Where’s Papa?” Liona asked, pulling at Maura’s sleeve. “He said he would be here soon.”

“Your papa is out getting some more wrapping paper.” Maura struggled to dislodge a particularly misshapen box from the pile, and Cassie went to help her. “Because I severely underestimated how much I would need.”

“Are they all yours?” Ciara asked as she knelt to help secure the box. "The kids, I mean."

"Hm? Oh, no." For a second, Ciara feared she had gravely offended the woman, but Maura laughed and waved at the twins. "Only these two are my children. Liona's father is a good friend of mine, that's why he's coming to help out."

"I'm helping!" Liona said cheerfully, carrying three rolls of wrapping paper. "Ms. Kinloch, which paper do you think looks the prettiest?"

Maura surveys the three options before her. Ciara steps over the box to look as well, Cassie doing the same. There's red paper with candy canes, green paper with trees, and blue paper with snowflakes. 

"I think I rather like the blue paper," Maura says, taking the roll of wrapping paper from Liona. "You don't mind if I use it, do you?"

Liona giggles. "Use it! Use it!" 

Maura got to work wrapping the oddly shaped box—a large neck pillow—while Cassie worked on a box of blankets. Ciara took a stack of the entire Percy Jackson series. 

"Who likes Percy Jackson this much in your fire station?" Ciara asked, deftly securing the paper in place with tape. "This seems like a pretty expensive Christmas gift."

"It was my suggestion!" Luna exclaimed. "Everyone should read Percy Jackson!

"We watched the TV show!" Solana added. "We really liked the goat guy!" 

"Grover, right?" Cassie asked, pausing in her gift wrapping. "The satyr!" 

"Does he like eating grass, cause he's part goat?" Liona asked, now rearranging the bows and ribbons in various patterns. 

"Actually, that's kind of a thing in the books," Ciara said, briefly pausing to pull out her phone and search it up. "He eats tin cans and scrap metal."

"Ew! How do you even eat metal?" Solana made a disgusted face, sticking her tongue out.

"You chew it really hard," Luna declared, slapping a bow down on the finished neck pillow box.

"Should we rewatch the TV show?" Cassie asked, looking towards all three children. 

"Yeah! Let's!" All three children chorused, and so Maura made her way over to turn on the TV. The opening music of the Percy Jackson show began to play, and Ciara was reminded of the time she binged the entire TV show instead of doing her AP Psychology homework.

"Let's get to work, yeah?" Maura asked.

"Yeah!"

-

After an hour or so, a knock sounded at the door. "I'll get it!" Ciara shouted, seeing the hordes of wrapping paper and boxes blocking everyone else's way, and so she stood to open the door.

She opened the door to find a very tall, very mustached man. For a second, she almost thought he was a bear taken human form. 

"Uh, hello?" She asked timidly. The man nodded. 

"Hello," The man said, in a thick Scottish accent. "Is Maura in there?"

"Papa!" Liona shouted, tripping over a tape dispenser in order to make her way to her father. "There you are!" 

"Hello, dearest." The man picked up the girl, ruffling her hair. "You been good while I was away?"

"Uh huh!" Liona pointed towards the TV, right as Percy Jackson swung his sword to behead Medusa. "We've been watching the Percy Jackson show!" 

"I see." The man nodded, shifting his bag of wrapping paper to his other arm in order to carry his daughter. "Well, I'm here to help now. Russell needed some help with repairing one of the signs on the hiking trail, but I’m here now."

"Yay!" 

"Hi, Darius!" Maura said cheerfully from the floor. "Just in time, yeah?"

The man—Darius—dropped his bag of wrapping paper on the ground, gently setting his daughter down as well. "Got any room for another?"

"Yes, please," Maura sighed, looking towards the total amount of presents that she and the children had wrapped—four presents. Ciara looked at her pile—seven presents—and then looked at Cassie's pile—eleven presents.

“How do you do that so fast?” Ciara asked in amazement.

“Magic,” Cassie said, with jazz hands to accompany it.

“How are the snakes coming along?” Darius asked as he took out another roll of wrapping paper to replace the roll they had used up.

“That reminds me!” Maura went to stand up, before realizing that a box was nestled in her lap. “I forgot to feed them!”

“I’ve got you, no worries.” Darius lifted a terrarium from a kitchen shelf, setting it down on the kitchen countertop.

“You have snakes too?” Ciara asked, craning her neck to try and see the snakes. From what she could see, the snakes were a bright blue. “What are their names?”

“Hydi and Draga!” Luna said, standing up to look at the snakes. “They were a birthday gift for Mama!”

“They’re twins, just like us!” Solana put her hand in the terrarium, giggling when one of the snakes reached its head up to muzzle her hand.

“Well, we should be able to wrap this up soon, aye?” Darius said as he sat down. “We need to go pick up Aslan from his Cub Scouts activities soon.”

“Who’s Aslan?” Ciara asked, immediately thinking of the lion from the Narnia Chronicles.

“My little brother!” Liona waved her hands around excitedly. “He just started Cub Scouts!”

“Addie is a Cub Scouts member, right?” Solana asked, now rummaging through her pantry, presumably for snacks.

“Addie’s their older sister,” Cassie explained for Ciara’s benefit.

“No, she’s a Girl Scouts member! Cause she’s big!” Luna stretched her arms up, as if to demonstrate how big her sister is. “She’s fourteen!”

“Well, we best get to work, hm?” Darius expertly wrapped a present in a couple of swift movements. “Wouldn’t want to be late to either of their meetings.”

“Yeah!” The kids looked towards Ciara and Cassie. “You’re working hard, right?”

Ciara locked eyes with Cassie. They both nodded in determination. They still had a pile of presents to get through.

“Yeah!”

A detail that I didn’t get to include: I picture all the kids as being adopted. Also I 100% chose the name Aslan for Leo Minor as a Narnia reference.

Just finished watching Walker and I loved it! I especially loved the quiet interludes between different characters: Cordell and Maybelline, Stella and Ben, Cordell and August (crying!), and of course, my favorite heads of the family, Bonham and Abby!

For once, Stella's storyline isn't annoying to me. I think her feelings are very realistic (and thank you, Ben, for explaining to her that they were normal). I'm interested to see where they go from here, and especially to find out why Witt was at Geri's in the first place.

Can I also talk about that scene between Cordell and Augie? I knew August was growing up (and up, and up... lol), but to see current-day Augie juxtaposed with that heart-breaking flashback... dang, that boy was a baby when he started! I can completely understand Cordell's reluctance to let him make such a monumental decision that will eventually take him away from home.

Loved seeing Jeff's real-life wife play Trey's date, and I'm glad Cassie has decided to stick around as a ranger!

(Shout out for the Detective Luna mention... so... when are we going to see him on screen???)

Anyway, it was a great episode and I'm excited to see what happens next!
