#Star crossed ennemies

[ornanerfasse]

OmniAlterous attraction and born Nemesises

I have now qualms whatsoever against aro/aces, and i consider them as good of people as any other, and yet i fell an almost spiritual antagonism towards them.

Aro/Aces have no romantic attraction, i have Omnialterous attraction, i ONLY have romantic feelings. You show basic human kindness to them? You maybe have made a friend. You show basic human kindness to me? Good job, you just been added to the list of people towards whom i am in love. This is irreversible. To them life is nothing but platonic love, to me life is nothing but unrequited romantic love, to them friendship is friendship, to me friendship is heatbreak, every romance is crippled by guilt of having multiple other romantic interests all at the same time.

Being loved, or even seen and understood; means loving back even more, loving more means being jealous and envious, being jealous and envious males me hate myself, hating myself means wanting to die, wanting to die makes me feel underserving of the love i do receive, feeling undeserving only makes me grateful you even love me in the first place beacuse you are saving my life by virtue of being yourself, being grateful makes me love you more.

This is a vicious circle, an infernal machine of incremental guilt and emotional dependance tumbling down like Sysiphus's rock towards my inevitable demise. A lose/lose scenario that i can neither break from nor escape throught death.

To Aro ace, romantic love is often nothing because they don't feel it.

To me, romantic love is everything because it's the same as my friendship love.

It is simultaneously my only joy and my greatest source of anguish, my reason to live and my reason to long for death.

I have now qualms against them, yet i know that my mere existence is their anthithesis, the other side of the coin, the plus to my minus, the Sherlock to my Moriarty. Ont day they will realise that my existence is an offense against them, and using their honed practice of the blade, they will take me down.

I am trapped in a personnal hell of which the only escape is to be brought low by a Cosmic Nemesis i have never met nor hated, but who's nonetheless destined to destroy me by the will of cruel gods.

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ CERISE. (she/her, only romanceables by f!mc and nb!mc)

tropes: childhood friends to lovers, idiots in love

-Character sheet-

Cerise is the daughter of a witch and a fairy. The both of you had no friends. What started as a tentative first-try at friendship quickly became an unbreakable bond. Cerise wiped your tears more times than you could count, and you held her hand during hard times.

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ BARTHELEMY "Please-don't-call-me-Barty" VYPERLYN (he/him)

tropes: academic rivals to lovers, possible one-sided ennemies to lovers, Romeo and Juliet/ stars-crossed lovers

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ DAPHNE (she/her)

tropes: enemies to lovers, ice queen, forbidden love

Daphne is a fairy. More than that, she's the fairy that everyone loves and fawns over. She smiles and backstabs like she breathes, and she has dug her nails in the metaphorical throne of Amaranth Institute. She wants you out of her way, but you recognize in her the familiar cracks caused by unbearable pressure.

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ ASPEN (they/he)

tropes: golden child x troublemaker, secret relationship, player in love

Aspen is walking 'danger' sign. Toying with laws and rules, their sticky fingers always seem to 'borrow' the wallets of the wealthy. They are a hero to the kids of the city, a pest to the authorities, and a mystery to you. They keep theri cards close, and you sometimes closer.

#Archeage map caernord Patch#

#Archeage map caernord plus#

This stat decreases your attacker's critical hit rate against you, as well as the additional critical bonus damage you take. Higher Focus decreases the target's chance to Parry/Block/Evade. This stat decreases the rate at which the target's Parry, Evade, and Block cancel out your attacks. Healing Power is increased by Spirit itemized on Clubs and Great Clubs. Contributes to Healing skills, rather than Magic Attack.

#Archeage map caernord update#

* Existing characters will receive a free skill tree respec with this update due to the significant skill changes below. We’ll endeavor to correct any errors as quickly as possible! This is the first (and probably only!) time we’re going through this process at such a scale.

#Archeage map caernord Patch#

Please keep in mind that these patch notes have come through the compiling of multiple source builds and then translation. The Marketplace (credit store) will not yet be available with this update. Expect these to be corrected ASAP in future updates. In addition, some pre-1.2 English strings may be out of date in terms of numbers or functionality. Some strings will still be displayed in Korean in this build due to the rapid turnaround from delivery to Alpha. Removal of Bounty Hunter Cloak Arrest and Instant Judgment abilities. Additional Gilda Stars granted through sub-level 30 PvE relative to sailboat and small house costs. Normalization of ping-dependent skills (“fast” skills with no cooldown). Adjustment of stolen trade pack split from 40% turn-in value returned to creator down to 20% returned to creator. Addition of Gilda Star traders to cross-continental trade routes. These custom changes include (but may not be limited to): The following patch notes do not include Trion’s custom gameplay changes, which will appear in an upcoming Beta candidate build. Trion a tout fait pour qu'une guilde de taille "classique" même hardcore, ne puisse pas créer de faction joueur sans déployer un effort DÉRAISONNABLE. Soit tu t'arranges assez à l'avance pour jouer dans une guilde "Gros effectif" qui aura la possibilité de fournir les pré-requis nécessaires à la création d'une faction joueur. Soit tu reste sur le principe d'alliance "classique" et tu joues dans une guilde "classique" dans l'une des factions PvE par défaut en oubliant le principe de faction joueur. Le principe d'alliance "classique" n'est pas implémenté dans le jeu donc deux solutions : (si tu trouves de l'info sur cette composante effectif cela m’intéresse)Įn ce qui concerne ta seconde question, il est possible pour le roi d'une faction de définir une posture vis-à-vis des autres factions (Ami / Ennemi) mais à ma connaissance il n'y a pas de fonction IG permettant de définir une alliance entre faction.

#Archeage map caernord plus#

The billboard gives a generic gather 5 from x and bring it to the fortress in Ynystere.Pour ta première question, je ne sais pas te répondre avec certitude, mais à mon sens il s'agit plus d'un pré-requis matériel (!! VRAIMENT ENORMES !!) que d'un pré-requis en effectif.Crimson Rift (?:? - ?:?) - Popular honor farm.Glitterstone Mines - Popular mining location.It has an "Arrow of Judgement" Community Center. Ynystere housing is scattered throughout the zone. Players can engage in these rifts (with the daily quest activated) to earn Honor Points. Ynystere is also the location of the Crimson Rifts and Grimghast Rifts. Caernord has a music hall, Resource and Gilda traders, and a shipyard to build a boat. The largest city in Ynystere is Caernord. Ynystere is the first zone, in Haranya, where the opposite faction can attack a person.

Regarding anon's question, I think it's always very tricky to make equate fantasy/sci-fi tropes with IRL situations. In one hand, you have things like negative stereotypes through fantastic creature that can be really problematic (like the crooked nosed goblins), but once you start equation IRL topics with fantasy/sci-fi, it can become very difficult to use basic tropes without running into an "everything is problematic" situation. I remember a few years ago someone made a long video calling DW a xenophobic show because it features regular alien invasions. While I understand the problem, I think it will take a lot of time before sci-fi stops the alien invasion trope completely.

Now, for the Mobius situation, I agree with anon that what he did to Loki was wrong and abusive, but I also think "ennemies to friends" and 'bad guy betrays their organisation to join heroes" is staple trope of super hero genre and I don't think we can expect Marvel to abandon it before a while. Maybe one day it will be seen as outdated and problematic, but right now it's still pretty popular because the majority poeple love the potential erotic tension between two characters in opposite factions. It's like the sexy sword fight trope. While some poeple will see it domestic abuse (honestly I hadn't seen that take coming before the anti-Sylki started using it), other poeple just find it sexy to watch star crossed lovers fight with big swords.

I don't know what the answer is, sanitizing our medias to the point we can't depict fictional tension for the fun anymore, or allowing poeple to have risqué fantasies. Time will tell how our culture evolve on that regard I guess.

This is good stuff. Like, really good.

Let me just clarify why I think calling it abuse is still a step beyond, though, because I think there's one more thing worth saying—which isn't really a response to the ask, because I love it, but I'm not sure where else to clarify this.

Writing wise, a truly abusive character is next to impossible to redeem. I think the trouble we're running up against in discussing Mobius is that some see his Episode 1 actions as the beginning of a trail of irredeemable behavior, and I find a lot of fault with that take. If we want to call his interrogation tactics abusive, as in harsh, then I'm onboard with that. But if we call him abusive and mean it in a literal sense, as in he mistreated Loki well beyond his paygrade, then I think we're misreading the scene and looking for reasons to write off Mobius out of the gate, rather than take in everything that's happening and how it's framed.

[d-lissa]

I def associate you with Jinx X Ekko. I don't really know or see my other friends digging it as much as you do, and I say it as a compliment xD (other than that, maybe that angry human lady and her mean kinda masochistic vampire boyfriend? whose names i forgot lol but that one I only seen you talk about lol)

Ooooh, I can live with that. I love Jinx and Ekko, the only thing I love more than a good ol fashionned ennemies to lovers dynamic is a well written friends to ennemies to lovers. The angst, the drama, the aesthetic, just mwah.

But of course, I'm basic as fuck, and that's why you can pray Spuffy from my cold, dead hands, because I love both Buffy (angry lady) and Spike (totally masochistic vampire not-quite-boyfriend). So. Much. Despite the entire fuckery that was their relationship in season 6. I just ... Something something knowing the worst parts of you and still loving you for who you are something something being willing to change to never hurt the one you love ever again something something accepting who you are and your faults and loving you entirely and not in spite of them.

Sure felt better than the first star crossed lovers, like, I learned not to hate Angel but by god is he boring in his relationship with Buffy. Both are, really.

You should give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a try, really. If you can make it past the cringe, camp-y feel of season 1, which is the shortest season anyway, you should be able to enjoy everything else. Some of the best characters writing I've ever seen.

... Huh. I never noticed how many of my ships were het. I'm not used to that. Well, I'm not used to have a compeling and fleshed out character dynamic between a male and a female, that are both as complex and deep as the other, and both of these show have them, so that explains it. I'm really not compmaining ! XD

Pokémon Team 🇬🇧 ~ Équipe Pokémon 🇨🇵 #2 : Sirius Black

🇬🇧 Another one ! And not the last ;) Feel free to suggest HP characters whose teams you would like to see ! *-*

> Zangoose 💥 : I placed Seviper in Severus Snape's team, it was relevant to attribute to his worst childhood enemy (still alive) the Pokémon known to be the snake's nemesis, unable to hold back to engage in combat when he crosses paths x)

> Solrock ☀️ : this one is a reference to the Black family, which names most of its members according to a star or a constellation (Sirius, Orion, Bellatrix ...)

> Absol 🍀 : According to the Pokédex in Pokémon Ruby: "Whenever Absol appears in front of people, a catastrophe like an earthquake or a tidal wave occurs soon after. It has become infamous as the Disastrous Pokémon." Something to remind a certain Sinistros ...

> Pangoro 🐼 : not only does his Dark/Fighting dual-type and bellicose demeanor match the character well, but the section of his description that says he can't stand the weakest being attcked allows me to add nuance to my opinion on this morally grey character (even if he often found himself in the camp of those who attack the weakest, precisely ><)

> Mightyena 🐺 : Padfoot, Sirius Black, a black dog... Flawless logic

> Houndoom 😈 : a good mix of Pangoro and Mightyena : a black dog doubled as a rebel

I hesitated with : Starmie ⭐ (same meaning as Solrock)

Don't hesitate to suggest the Pokémon that you would see in Sirius' team ❤🖤🤍

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🇨🇵 Encore un autre ! Et surement pas le dernier ;) N'hésitez pas à suggérer des personnages d'Harry Potter dont vous aimeriez voir les équipes ! *-*

> Mangriff 💥 : étant donné que j'ai placé Séviper dans l'équipe de Severus Rogue, il était pertinent d'attribuer à son pire ennemi d'enfance (encore en vie) le Pokémon connu pour être l'ennemi juré du serpent, incapable de se retenir d'engager le combat quand il le croise x)

> Solaroc ☀️ : celui-ci est une référence à la famille Black, qui nomme ses membres masculins selon une étoile ou une constellation (Sirius, Orion, Bellatrix...)

> Absol 🍀 : Selon le Pokédex dans Pokémon Rubis : "Chaque fois qu'Absol apparaît devant des gens, une catastrophe comme un tremblement de terre ou un raz de marée survient peu de temps après. Il est devenu tristement célèbre sous l'appellation de Pokémon désastreux." De quoi rappeler un certain Sinistros...

> Pandarbare 🐼 : non seulement son double-type Ténèbres/Combat et son comportement belliqueux correspondent bien au personnage, mais la section de sa description disant qu'il ne supporte pas qu'on s'en prenne aux plus faibles me permet d'apporter de la nuance à mon avis sur ce personnage moralement gris (même si il s'est souvent retrouvé dans le camp de ceux qui s'en prennent aux faibles, justement)

> Grahyèna 🐺 : Patmol, Sirius Black, un chien noir... Pas déconnant, en somme

> Démolosse 😈 : un bon mix de Pandarbare et Grahyèna : un chien noir doublé d'un rebelle

J'ai hésité avec : Staross ⭐ (même signification que Solaroc)

N'hésitez pas à me suggérer les Pokémon que vous verriez dans l'équipe de Patmol ❤🖤🤍

Andromeda, Aries and Cassiopeia for uhh all your wips if that's okay + Virgo \o/

Andromeda - Describe your main characters

Already answered here for Milo’s story!

Ashes to Ashes

Nox: Elf prince who’s able to use magic. One golden eye, the other is silver. He glamours them to appear normal because people would freak out + other spoilery reason~ Has a lot of pressure on his shoulders and will sneak out of the castle at each given moment because who likes to hear 24/7 that he has to act like a future king (meaning: stop being yourself). Cursed more or less. Cinnamon roll who owns a big ass bow.

Caliel: Human who was adopted by an elven couple when he still was a baby. Has to live hidden in his dad’s domain. Anxious, curious of what the world looks like beyond the gardens, naïve, close to his parents, pretty good with a rapier.

Cyrus: Human prince. Caliel’s younger half-brother and future heir to the throne. Jealous, vindictive, manipulative, naïve.

Soris: Seer working for the royal family (Cyrus’, not Nox’s). Close to Cyrus. Always seen with at least one snake around his shoulders. Blindfolded.

The old Gods are dead

Raven: Natural silver hair. One blind eye. Abandoned by his parents when he started to develop his magical abilities. Sheltered by a witch who became his adoptive grandmother. Scared of magic. Hates the Gods with every inch of his soul.

Alen: Non-binary. Native of a seaside village. Affinity with fire. Left their village for a spoilery reason. Well appreciated magician in the capital. Has a thing with the prince.

Niriani: Said prince. Future king. Kind and loving prince always ready to help his people. Wants to become a better king than his father and will do anything to become someone better for his kingdom.

Neo and Volkan: Raven’s adoptive fathers. Neo is a cloth merchant and Volkan a blacksmith. Always keep their home open for children in need, but Raven will be the only one who’ll stay.

Sidriel and Raziel: Twin deities. Offsprings of two primordial deities. White hair and bright orange eyes.

Nei: (watch me copy paste what i have written about these deities) God of Nature and protector of the forest in which they live. Paintings and sculptures depict them as either ayoung and beautiful man playing the lyre, or as a pregnant woman fused with awillow tree. Keeps their true apparence a secret (except for their partner, and the main cast way later in the story). Naturally calm, people worship them for a goodharvest by praying in front of a self-made altar in their home, burning acandle linked to the season. In the forest, Nei helps those who gets lost, butwill rarely show themselves. Nei has one lover: Asrus, God of Death. It is saidthat they can only be together during winter.

Nydes: Worshippedalong the coastlines of Sarika and Kymeros, Nydes is the God of the Sea andNei’s twin. Depicted as an incredibly tall and muscular man with a lower bodyof an octopus, Nydes is usually worshipped through offerings and chants. Thereare a few types of places for those craving Nydes’ protection – usually sailors– but homemade shrines and natural altars are preferred by most. It is atradition for newly married couples to offer the bride’s bouquet to the Sea inexchange for Nydes’ blessing. Nydes has no luck in love, thus he fathered thegoddess Neseria who was born from one of his tears. Like his twin, Nydes wasonce as calm as Nei, but tales say that Nydes became a vindictive god during aspring’s night.

Athys: Goddessof War, she is mostly worshipped alongside her sister by knights before a waror a battle. She is often depicted alongside her sister, both in full armour,riding a black horse. She is a violent and insatiable goddess on thebattlefield. Armies sacrifice her totem animal, a bull, before going to war.Her main temple is in Vaneria, just next to the castle. According to stories, she is the mother of the goddess of terror who accompanies her on eachbattle. Seeing her daughter alone is a bad omen.

Old tales don’t lie

These need to be more developed but here i copy pasted what I have (which isn’t a lot)

Damian: Damian is the first mate on the Fearless, one of the fastest ship in the Queen's Navy. Happy with his way of living that allows him to see the many wonders of the kingdom, Damian isn't aware of the true nature of his latest mission. A mission during which he will lose more than a couple of coins.

Meris: Merman. Violent. Manipulative.

Kylan: Former captain in the Queen's Navy who loved his job and loved working for his queen. Now a pirate. Left for the neighbouring kingdom after he discovered a truth that made his blood turn cold.

Aries - Share a line that you’re proud of!

Milo’s story: “Youknow,” He said as he crouched down before him, arms around his waist. “Youdon’t have to be ashamed if you feel like crying again. We’re alone, and Iwon’t laugh at you because you show some emotions.” Let’s boys cry, it’s healthy to cry.

The old Gods are dead: A smileon his lips, Raven looked at the stars above him and tried to find his. People said his star was the signthat Miesis was watching them, making sure they were all alright, safe andsound. It only took him a short while. A giggle crossed his mouth as he reachedfor the brightest star, fingers spread, the star visible between his middlefinger and ring finger. (not a line but i like this paragraph 👀👀)

No line for Ashes to Ashes and Old tales don’t lie since i’m outlining them from scratch again :)

Cassiopeia - What’s your favorite scene so far?

Milo’s story: Ethan/Milo moment i’m currently writing

The old Gods are dead: Raven’s nigthmare of the forest and Nei.

Ashes to Ashes: Caliel and Nox’s meeting. (I wanted to say another one but it’s a spoiler so you get that still not written scene)

Old tales don’t lie: No idea :’D

Virgo - Describe your favorite tropes.

Friends to lover, found family, the protag is a bad guy, ennemies to lover. Those are the only ones that come to my mind right now

Words count: 2,178.

Requests are still open, don’t hesitate, I love it!♥

It was summer, you were laying on the grass with your best friend watching the sunset. This planet was beautiful, you always thought of living here, but Master Luke wasn't okay with this for one reason named Ben. He was your best friend actually, and you two have been pretty close lately, more than ever. You knew him since you two were kids. Your parents working on the Resistance as technicians, you hardly saw them and Leïa took pity of you and she was more here for you then your own mother. You sigh, thinking of the fact that Luke don't want you here.

" What's on your mind, baby girl ?" said the brown haired guy, looking at you. " I don't understand why Master Luke don't want me to stay here." poutting, you were watching your best friend who was smiling. " Well.. Maybe because we are seventeen, both of us, and he's afraid to saw us kiss each other while a Jedi should not have any relationship like this ?"

You both stayed in silence for a couple of minutes before burst in laugher. "Come on, don't be stupid, it will never happen... And I'm sure it's because you're calling me baby girl so everything is your fault, again !" You get up and looked at him in a angry way, hands on your hip. "Don't blame me for calling you a baby, you do have a baby face."  grumbling a little and show him your back, you crossed your arm, acting like a little girl. You heard a sigh and few seconds after a strong pair of arms was surrounding your little body. "Stop being so childlish, (Y/N)."

His tone was serious, so you turn around, looking at his beautiful smiling face and deep brown eyes that you always loved. "Okay, you have something to tell me, Am I ri-" You couldn't finish your sentence that his lips were on yours. He quickly straightened, his cheeks were red. " S-sorry, I.. I shouldn't have done this." You rolled your eyes and put another quick kiss on his lips, making him shut his mouth. Night was finally here. And that's how your relationship started. It was a secret for everyone.

In your eyes, there's a heavy blue One to love and one to lose  

You woke up at 5am, feeling down today, like yesterday and every other day since he left. You sighed and got up, put some clothes on and get back to your work. You sat and look at that computer. You were one of the people in charge to track the First Order ship, and you kind of know where it is, but you told no one. Yes, you're part of the Resistance and protecting the ennemy because he his inside this ship. And You don't want anything to happen to him.

He? Kylo Ren, of course. Or Ben Solo, it's as you want. This time, it's was enough. You sighed again and just get up and walked to take one of those emergency "ship" that could only carry one person. Trying to not get caught and being thrown in the same bag as traitors, you went away. It was a big risk, you knew it, but you had to. You needed him more than you thought. At first, it was just a teenager love, but time flew by and you found yourself being in love with Ben.

I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night (night) Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky

You always did everything together, hand in hand, you were training with him and in one minute, everything ended like the flame of a candle. You were nostalgic of that time. That time were you could take his hand, kiss his plump lips, run your fingers through his beautiful dark hair, put your head of his chest to rest in the grass with him.. You missed all of those things. When you had learned about the thing happening on the island where every Jedi were training, you felt so sick in your stomach. You were twenty at this moment, and you could never forget this day. The day were Leïa came to you, telling you that the Dark Side had taken Ben. You were throwing up every night, you loss some weight, you were getting sick by the fact that you lost your boyfriend, that you lost the one who loved you, who helped you get over your parents death.. This bond between you two wasn't just some teenager love, it was pure love.

You tried to contact him, you had ran away a few times, trying to reach the First Order to, at least, see him one last time, but it never worked. You were always getting punished, some people hated you because they considered you has a traitor that have nothing to do in the Resistance, some tried to kill you but hopefully, because of all the hard training with Ben, you were able to defend yourself.

I've been running through the jungle

[...]

I've been down the darkest alleys Saw the dark side of the moon To get to you, to get to you

You even had a love story with the famous Poe Dameron, but it didn't worked. You were looking for the same thing you felt with Ben, but you didn't. And it was hurting you too much... But still, it worked for few months, you were feeling better and better everyday, but it wasn't enough. You were too angry and bitter to love someone else.

I've looked for love in every stranger Took too much to ease the anger All for you, yeah, all for you

After some hours of flight, you saw it. The ship was gigantic and.. you were caught. TIE where behind you, ready to fire. You felt the panic in your veins and reack for the radio button trying to contact the First Order.

"I'm not from the Resistance, I repeat, I'm not from the Resistance anymore. I can help you."

Hoping that your message had been listened, you tried to breath in a regular way. Your hands were trembling and your ship was deviated to their hangar, landing here. You put a foot on the ground but after a second, ten stormtroopers were pointing their blaster at you. You put your hands on the hair, trying to make them understand that you were not here to kill anybody, or to spy on them. A red head guy take a step ahead, looking at you in a disdainful way.

"Take her to the interrogation room. I don't have time for these things."

You couldn't say anything that two stormtroopers were already taking your two arms. You tried to fight but one of them hit you with the back of his blaster, in your head. Everything went black after this.

You regained consciousness after a few minutes, enough to be attached to a really uncomfortable chair, in a little room that had "torture" written all over it. You smirked a little and you finally noticed the black figure, standing in the corner of the room. Fear passing in your eyes, you tried to detached yourself from these mechanic handcuff, but it didn't worked.

"You are annoying."

His robotic voice disturbed the silence of the room. You looked up and see he had a mask, dressed in black, he was tall, he had an imposing presence.

"You could have been killed on your way here... all of this to found a dead person that you miss desperatly."

How did he know ? How the hell he is ? Dead ? Is Ben dead ? What is happening ? As soon as these thought were on your mind, you heard him erase a little laugh.

"D-dead.. ? Wait, What is so funny ?" you asked, your trembling voice was full of fear and anger at this point. He didn't answered, but you heard a mechanic device being engaged, your eyes widened and began to watered as soon as you saw his beautiful face. "Ben.. ?" you whispered. You saw his eyes being more cold then it already was by hearing this name.

"Ben is dead." his smooth and impassive deep voice said, his eyes locking with yours. You felt your heart pounding like crazy in your chest, tears rolling down your cheeks. "Kylo Ren killed him for the better." making his way near you and raising his left hand near your temple, you started to sense some pain in the back of your head. It was more and more agressive and you were trying your best not to scream in pain, you even had the strenght to look at him. You saw his sad eyes, starring down, analyzing your body. This sad was what made you weak. You let it enter in your minds, screaming in pain. He was searching something, he was trying to get something, to feel something maybe ?

Your fingertips trace my skin To places I have never been Blindly I am following Break down these walls and come on in

He suddenly broke the entire thing, pain was finally gone, letting you catch your breath on this chair. Your body was trembling and he, he seemed disturbed. Breathing heavily, you started to laugh, making him look at you in the eyes. "I've betrayed the Resistance for you, Ben." you were laughing nervously. "And even now, I.. I don't regret it."

"You're still thinking about those things while you shouldn't. Me and him are a different person." he replied, his voice was trembling. "I still love you. Ben, Kylo, no matter who is it.. I still fucking love you." your laughter switching to sob, you closed your eyes. "I'm sorry, I should've said it sooner. I've never told you. I've never told you how much I love you, how much I was happy with you. I would have followed you here, I would have done everything for you."

You had nothing to loose here, if you have to die here, well.. You would die saying what you wanted to say for so much years.

I've been running through the jungle I've been running with the wolves To get to you, to get to you

"You still remember our first kiss. Our first time. When we told my mother.." his voice was trembling so much, it wasn't difficult to hear. You felt the handcuff released you. You were free. You opened your eyes and got on your feet in a second, going near Kylo to hug him. "Please.. Please, come back to me." His hear was beating loudly and quickly, like your own heart. You felt his arms around you, his lips meeting your forehead.. But you also felt an horrible pain in your stomach that made you jump a little and moan. You looked up to him, a red light between you two. He was looking at you in an horrified way.

I've been down the darkest alleys Saw the dark side of the moon To get to you, to get to you

"K-Kylo.. ?" Your head starting to spin, your knees shaking and the taste of the blood getting on your mouth, you smiled at him when you realized what was happening, falling on the floor. He followed your moves, carrying your head to put it on his lap. "I'm sorry.. I have to do this. He say you're too much of a distraction." His voice was weak, his lower lip was trembling. You had enough strenght left to raise your hand and touch his right cheek, erasing the tear that was rolling on it. He bent and kissed your lips. That was it. A smile forming on your lips as your life was ending, you had what you wanted in the end. You had him back.

Closing your eyes, you kissed him, again and again for the few seconds left, then, you heard him whispered. “I love you.” And darkness embraced you, a smile on your face has his face faded until he was gone. You were gone.

I've been running through the jungle I've been crying with the wolves To get to you, to get to you.

How We Met (Gabriel and Emilie one shot fan fiction)

Gabriel Agreste stood with his design book in his hand. He was supposed to meet with a new up and coming actress, name Emilie. He had done this millions of times. There was nothing new about it, really. He licked his lips and flipped through his designs. Each one would make her emerald eyes and olive skin tones stand out.  

“Bonjour. You must be Monsieur Agreste.” A woman with blonde hair and a side braid held her slender hand out to him.

“Bonjour. Madame Emilie.” Gabriel grabbed her hand and shook it.

“Actually, it’s Mademoiselle.” Emilie smiled warmly at him.

“Sorry. Mademoiselle Emilie.” Gabriel smiled sheepishly at her and cleared his throat. “Shall I show you what I have planned for you to wear to the award ceremony?”

“D’accord.” Emilie smiled warmly at him and lead him to her trailer. “Tea?”

Gabriel smiled at her and took a seat inside her trailer. “Oui, s’il vous plaît. Merci, Emilie.”

“No, problem.” Emilie giggled at his formality. “You don’t have to be so formal with me. Let loose. Live a little.” She poured him a cup of tea and sat down with her own.

“Right. Yes. Well.” Gabriel opened his book and the sketches fell at their feet.

Emilie giggled at him. “Need some help?”

“I’m not usually this….” Gabriel ran a hand through his slicked back blonde hair and sighed. “Disheveled.

“I see. Well, I happen to be very…. Disheveled, myself.” Emilie set her cup down and began to help pick up his drawings. “These are all beautiful.”

She looked over one of the dress concepts. “I love the plums in this one.”

“Me-merci, Emilie.” Gabriel stumbled on his words, as he looked up from picking up the sketches to meet her eyes.

“I’d love to see the rest.” Emilie sat down on the floor and she reached up to grab her tea cup from the table.

“On the floor?” Gabriel raised an eyebrow at her.

“Why yes? I don’t mind getting dirty once and a while.” Emilie smiled up at him with a pure expression that reminded him of a curious child.

His heart skipped a beat and she suddenly lit up like stars in a night sky. “Oh.”

“Care to join me? There’s plenty of room on the floor.” Emilie giggled and took a sip of her tea.

Gabriel gave in to her angelic stare and awkwardly sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. “So, I was thinking that this color would make your eyes pop and that this one would-”

He pushed drawings toward her, but soon stopped when he noticed her smirking at him. “What is it?”

“I hear about colors and how they’ll make my eyes look all day long, Gabriel. What really made you pick those designs?” Emilie set her cup down and rested back on her palms with her feet in front of her.

“Well, I-” Gabriel swallowed hard, as he noticed how her breasts raised to the air and how she let her hair fall down her back with a sigh.

“Chat got your tongue?” Emilie raised her face to peer at him through her lashes.

“I’m going to be honest, Mademoiselle Emilie. I thought that these designs would flatter your figure and that going off of your personality that you put on, apparently, that you would enjoy them.” Gabriel sighed and tried to not focus on her.

“So, now that you know that I would dare sit on the floor… what do you think?” Emilie smiled at him.

“I think you may be the most down to earth girl I have ever laid my eyes on.” Gabriel covered his mouth and his cheeks turned red. “I mean-” He hit his forehead with his hand.

Emilie giggled at him with her hand over her lips. “You’re very interesting, Monsieur Agreste.” She worried her bottom lip and he chuckled at her.

“I’ll just redraw some new pieces for you.” Gabriel gathered up his drawings.

“Wait.” Emilie touched the back of his hand with hers to stop him.

He peered up at her and searched her green eyes.

“I love the designs. Really I do.” Emilie smiled warmly at him. “And… I’m really interested in the designer.” She blinked at him and bit her bottom lip, watching him swallow hard and part his lips.

“Would you like to join me for dinner tonight, Mademoiselle Emilie?” Gabriel blinked at her, dumbfounded by her.

“I would love that. And please just call me Emilie.” Emilie smiled at him and her cheeks became flushed.

“Sounds perfect, Emilie.” Gabriel sighed and forgot about the drawings littering the floor around them.

2017 Oscar Predictions

Keep in mind, this is what I think WILL win, not necessarily what SHOULD win  (for example, Moonlight should win Best Picture, but it probably won’t).

Best Picture: La La Land

I loved La La Land, but I recognize its problems and don’t think it’s a particularly (historically) important film. Moonlight is almost the opposite of La La Land. It’s subtle, dark (both cinematically and thematically at points), and portrays a story we don’t often seen. La La Land is the least polarizing choice, however. It’s also more of an escapist film. In today’s climate, people are probably looking to escape into their entertainment. This being said, Moonlight balances pain and joy with such grace. It’s a film about finding acceptance and peace. It’s beautiful. You get invested without being manipulated. I actually felt more hopeful at the end of Moonlight than I did La La Land. We need more films like Moonlight. Even though La La Land will probably win, Moonlight is a work of art.

Lead Actor: Denzel Washington (Fences)

After Washington won the SAG award (and like...a billion other awards) for his role in Fences, it was pretty clear the Oscar is going to him. Casey Affleck but the his initial buzz died down pretty quickly. Good.

Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)

It’s just kind of a given. 

Lead Actress: Emma Stone (La La Land)

Also a given. The only possible upset is Isabelle Huppert and while Huppert won at the Golden Globes, that’s not gonna happen here.  

Supporting Actress: Viola Davis (Fences)

Duh.

Animated Feature: Zootopia

Not only is it Disney, but it’s “woke” Disney. The Academy can once again suck Disney’s dick, but this time they don’t have to feel bad about it because Zootopia is socially conscious. But tbh it’s just winning for that tiger that will do you right.

Cinematography: La La Land

Honestly I’d be happy with any of the nominees winning in this category. All the films are beautiful and deserve cinematic praise. But La La Land is La La Land. Voters are gonna go with that dancing among the stars scene.

Costume Design: Jackie

It’s a period piece. Specifically a 60s piece. Also people are obsessed with Jackie O.

Directing: Damien Chazelle (La La Land)

I don’t really have a reason, it’s just probably gonna happen. He’ll be the youngest person to win this. He did a great job directing La La Land. He’s clearly a great director (I mean, Whiplash). I just think Barry Jenkins is more subtle and I appreciate that.

Documentary Feature: OJ: Made in America

Unfortunately the buzz around this massive film will beat out 13th and I Am Not Your Negro.

Documentary Short: The White Helmets

I would usually choose “Joe’s Violin” to win this category. It actually would not be the first time a short about a Holocaust survivor and their relationship with music won. However, “The White Helmets” is about first responders in Aleppo. In our political climate, particularly surrounding refugee debates, I think “The White Helmets” will come out on top.

Film Editing: La La Land

Tom Cross won it for Whiplash and he’ll probably do it again for La La Land. Hacksaw Ridge and Arrival are more typical choices for this category as well, but they’ll probably split some votes, leaving the musical on top.

Foreign Language Film: The Salesman

A Man Called Ove or Toni Erdamann (both quirky dramedies) are also typical category picks that most likely won’t make the cut in this political climate. After the travel ban and director Asghar Farad’s promised boycott of the awards ceremony, Iran’s The Salesman gained buzz and will probably come out on top in an attempt to send a message to Trump.

Makeup and Hairstyling: Star Trek Beyond

Even if I thought Suicide Squad could win (which it could) I wouldn’t even list it as a prediction. And honestly all that crazy alien makeup in Star Trek is way more deserving of the award than the people who dyed the tips of Margot Robbie’s hair and wrote “damaged” on Jared Leto’s forehead. Lol fuck Suicide Squad.

Original Score: La La Land

I mean...of course. La La Land had its problems, but the score sure as hell wasn’t one of them.

Original Song: “City of Stars” La La Land

This song is beautiful and also way better than the “Audition” song. Some people think that the two La La Land songs will split votes and Moana will come out on top, but honestly I think everyone’s favorite song from La La Land was “City of Stars” (also it’s the reoccurring theme of the movie), so I don’t think it will have any trouble winning.

Production Design: La La Land

I really want Arrival to win this with its eerie and quiet feel, but La La Land ends the movie with that huge high-production montage. Arrival could still win (and I hope so), but La La Land will probably sweep.

Animated Short: Piper

It’s a charming Pixar film, of course it’s gonna win. It’s probably adorable and lovely. It does’t matter how artful or innovative or amazing the other shorts are. If Disney or Pixar has a charming animated short among the nominees...it’s gonna win.

Live Action Short: Ennemis Intérieurs

It’s a timely piece about hardships immigrants (a Muslim immigrant in this case) must face. There are crowd pleasers in this category, but the relevance of “Ennemis Intérieurs” will probably push it to the top.

Sound Editing: Hacksaw Ridge

War film with lots of crazy sound shit going on. I would say La La Land again, but a lot of times the more action driven films top in this category.

Sound Mixing: La La Land

I don’t usually find myself voting for two different films in the sound categories, but in this case Hacksaw Ridge and La La Land are the two types of films that typically top sound categories: war film and musicals.

Visual Effects: The Jungle Book

Like did you see Jungle Book.

Adapted Screenplay: Moonlight

Um, it’s gorgeous. It should win and it will. Lion is its only competition, but the Academy will want to give Moonlight something more than an acting category.

Original Screenplay: Manchester By the Sea

La La Land may technically be more “original” but Manchester By the Sea seems very...original screenplay winner. Also, everyone forgot about this movie with the La La Land vs. Moonlight race, so they’ll probably throw it something in this category. La La Land could still win. Honestly I’d rather see it win over Manchester. ACTUALLY I’d most like to see the absurd script for The Lobster win. That script is miles more original than anything else in the category.

Basically, expect La La Land to pull a Chicago. Great film, but doesn’t necessarily deserve to sweep the way it’s going to.
