Runaway Lo'ak fic (Locorro)
Lo'ak x Spider
I want to start a new fic, bc I am depressed and need joy in my life (she said while planning out a new angsty fic).
Don't worry, I'll keep writing 'A Son for a Son'. That story is my baby and I will not abandon it. But I need/want variety.
(also it's just an idea so far)
Working Title: 'Belong'
Plot:
Lo'ak tries to make peace with Aonung, nearly dying in the process, just like in the movie. When he returns home he has the usual fight with Jake, only that Lo'ak doesn't just swallow the "You brought shame to this family.", but fights back instead, trying to defend himself. Things get heated, son and father screaming, until Jake hits. Not too hard, but he hits. He regrets it immediately but the damage is done and Lo'ak decides he can't stay. He doesn't fit. No matter how hard he tries, it's never right and he doesn't want to be a burden for his family anymore. So, over the following days he plans his 'escape'. Payakan is in on the thing and they leave together.
So much for the initial situation.
Lo'ak's 'escape' is pretty much a day (or a few) before Quarritch would have found the Sullys. (He doesn't in this fic. So, Neteyam lives. Yeay!) Lo'ak and Payakan spot the demon ship and go to take a look, just in case this is going to get a real threat to the people at Awa'atlu. Lo'ak sees Spider on the deck and he can't believe his eyes. Of course he decides to go get him. Spider is mad happy and slips away with his best friend without much thought. (No, I didn't forget the tracker inside his mask. I'll deal with that.)
Well, things happen blah blah blah. I don't know the details yet.
Lo'ak and Spider are in love. Oblivious numb skulls, of course. Lo'ak offers Spider to get him to Awa'atlu, so he can be with Kiri and the others, but Spider just wacks him and tells him he's stupid for believing he'd leave his side again. Bc Love, bro.
Spider ends up getting his own Avatar. Again, no details, but I have a rough plan.
Blah blah blah, they grow up, they travel the world, they adopt two sweet children along the line. And some day, when their travels bring them close to Awa'atlu, Spider decides to give old friends a visit (without Lo'ak's knowing).
So, imagine. Jake and Neytiri not knowing what happened to their son, finding Spider in na'vi form with their supposedly grand child on his arm. Hilarious.
Lo'ak and Spider are level A dads by the way. They gonna have a boy and a girl. I don't know the details yet, I only know that the lil boy is gonna be a difficult whirlwind with anger issues. Bc I want Lo'ak to be a gentle parent.
Also, Mo'at and Norm are part of this story (at least they are in my imagination, I'll make things up as I go.) Locorro is gonna stay with the Omatikaya for a while, Mo'at not being as rejecting of Spider as her daughter was. Also, her character is needed, so Spider can get the same ritual as Jake, connecting his soul to his na'vi body permanently. (I imagine Mo'at as a very loving grandma. Lo'ak and her are gonna bond.)
I'm probably gonna do multiple povs. Like the story doesn't just follow Lo'ak and Spider but also shows how the Sully's are dealing with Lo'ak's loss. Bc we need angst and I won't give Jake a rest.
Family reunion and stuff. Do I have your interest? Tell me pls.
I started writing some of it but I know I'll lose interest if there isn't any feedback from readers. Soooo, pls let me know, so I can decide if it's worth investing my time. I know Locorro isn't that big, so maybe the interest isn't there in the fandom.
+
I noticed how all my fics just come to existence, bc of some stupid thing Jake said that pissed me off in the movie.
A Son for a Son: " You've done enough."
This one (Belong): "You brought shame to this family."
That man is my muse.

when botswana gained its independence in 1966 , it seemed as if things were going well . the democracy they had built was stable & it appeared as if the land - locked country had no problems , & for a while it hadn’t but after a few years the peace in the government started to dwindle . too many people wanting too much power , somebody said . they jumped in feet first without any real clue how to run a country , said another . but over time the uninterrupted tranquility became obsolete . botswana was slowly going down a sinkhole until 1985 , when the south african king titled his eldest son , arno zulu , the king of botswana .
the change shook the botswanian government to the core , a change that it needed . at first the people of botswana weren’t sure how to react — this new monarchy was something nobody had expected . but the newly crowned king had ambition & he had stride . he had a set vision & a set plan to follow , all the while he was kind to his people & a fair ruler . it didn’t take as long as he expected for the botswanians to settle under his rule ( not being given the south african throne was a huge knock on his confidence as a royal ) so the speed his country settled was comforting .
however , the king could never forgive his father for throwing away his right to the throne & instead promised it to the youngest of the zulu heirs . this bitterness , however subsided into a more a more subtle distaste as he settled into his new role & a short few years later , he was married to a libyan princess & not too long after that , she fell pregnant with their first child . the pregnancy wasn’t easy ; there were a few complications along the way but after only 8 months of carrying him , omari malachi zulu was born .
omari wasn’t by any standards an extraordinary baby . his birth was easy , all things considered but as the first born child of the king of botswana , he had responsibilities he never even knew he had . the country accepted him with open arms & celebrated his birth in an ornate fashion . after all , he was the first born child of their first king . streets were decorated with the botswanian flag & music filled the streets for days after . the prince was a vision , as many called him . he looked strikingly similar to his father , even small features like the dimples in his cheeks & the crease between his eyebrows as he smiled . for months botswana was full of joy & that joy started to bring the country back into the state of peace they had at the very start of their independence .
the birth of their future king gave them hope . stability . & in turn they treated their leaders with grace & kindness , living in harmomy . it was almost idyllic ; omari grew up in a world where everyone was at peace as opposed to just a few years before he was born . he had everything he wanted & was treated with respect , so he treated his people with respect in return . he grew up in a loving household , full of books & all the learning tools a young heir could need , & although his professor was hard on him , omari did not let this harden him .
as a child he had always been a free - spirit ; he was intrigued by the idea of traveling & had read about all the places in the books from the palace’s library & from strangers who had stayed at the palace in passing . he was quite content , he had a certain mischievousness which often caught the guards out & a long string of jokes that could keep people laughing for days . however , for a child living in such a large expanse it was incredibly lonely , so it’s to be expected that when his brother was born , omari was over the moon .
the pair were like two peas in a pod ; where you’d see one , you’d no doubt see the other following not too far behind . they grew close quickly & omari was fiercely loyal to his younger brother . however , much like any ordinary older sibling he could be difficult . although he wasn’t nasty , he was a bit of a tyrant . causing ruckus & playing pranks on his brother was omari’s favourite pastimes & although they had their disagreements , he did it with love & there was very little omari wouldn’t do for him .
when his brother was born , omari learned a lesson in sharing . when his sister was born , he learned a lesson in protection . growing up he was educated on how to run a country successfully & how to be a good king , but nobody taught him how to be a good brother . sometimes he could be intolerant to who he’d often call the ‘ bonus zulu children ’ just to irritate them , but despite his annoying habits his siblings were his best friends . they filled the empty void that would otherwise still be hollow in the palace & on stressful days , they’d be the ones to aid him in unwinding .
the pressures of becoming king one day didn’t truly hit full force until he hit his teenage years . he was expected to set a prime example not only for his country but also his siblings , & although he did a good job at being generally liked by his peers & the like , he realised soon enough he’d have to get out there & represent his country , so that’s what he did . he started travelling the world & meeting new people & after a while , he went to college . someone had briefly suggested a college in portugal so he decided to go there , studying literature & modern language .
it was here where he met barbara de bragança , being in college at the same time as she was getting her degree . due to his royal status he was invited to stay at her college home & after taking the opportunity , the two quickly became close friends . he completed his education in portugal before he jetted off to carry on exploring the world , however he never lost touch with barbie & he started to become more responsible as he prepared to one day be king . while on his travels he learned a lot about different cultures & could strike up a conversation with anyone over anything .
give or take a few years & his family asked him to get engaged to the princess of hungary , fanni croÿ . the arrangement was strange given they already had a history but due to it being for the benefit of botswana he agreed & then they were engaged . however , just as they were starting to figure things out the engagement was called off & out of his confusion , omari took off without a word to anyone & has been m.i.a ever since , only keeping in touch with a short selection of people .
* 𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑶𝑵𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀 .
omari is a lover of adventure & experiencing new things . people might call him a thrill seeker , but he just believes that a life without experiencing everything you can isn’t a life worth living . he enjoys learning new things & is always keen on hearing different opinions to benefit his own , however he can come across as being quite opinionated when it comes to his own thoughts & he’s not afraid to speak his mind , which sometimes got him into trouble when he was younger but has earned him great respect as he grew older .
in general , omari is kind & thoughtful . he’s been influenced a lot by his father’s way of ruling the country & is a firm believer that you should treat people the way you expect to be treated , but he’s not afraid to stand his ground when he needs to or protect those that he’s closest to . when it comes to his family & his close friends , omari will go to the ends of the earth for them even if it was just to bring them a pretzel from europe . he values them a lot & is extremely loyal to them .
however , omari can be quite flaky & fickle . when it comes to making decisions regarding his country , he’s very clever in his approach & makes sure it’s the best decision but when it comes to his personal life , he’s not very good at all & often has to seek advice from other people just to make the correct decision . he dislikes situations that are too messy , which is one of the few reservations he has about being king because he knows he’ll be stuck in some but he’s working on his habit of fleeing before the situation gets too bad & instead striving to resolve them .
he can be pretty mischievous , since when he was younger he’d often play pranks on the guards & his siblings just to , as he used to say ‘ pass the time ’ so although he’s someone you can trust with your secrets , he’s not someone you can trust not to scare the living daylights out of you the next chance he gets . he loves to have fun & is slightly worried that when he becomes king all the fun he’s having now will no longer exist , but following in his father’s footsteps is something he’s always been keen in doing & seeing how well he’s doing pushes him to do the same .
although his father isn’t so bothered anymore by the fact that he was , as omari sees it thrown to the side for his younger brother , omari is extremely bitter about it . even though he loves botswana & its people , he still heavily believes that since his father is the oldest of the zulu heirs , he’s rightfully in line for the south african throne so the fact that his uncle , who’s little over ten years older than him never fails to stir up troubling thoughts & now that his grandfather has fallen ill , he sees this as an opportunity to start conflict with his uncle .
* 𝑼𝑷𝑫𝑨𝑻𝑬 .
ok i’m literally just gonna bullet point the things that have changed for him bc i’m too lazy to go back & edit this entire bio sdfkjdnsjkg
but u guys already know gramps is dead , which means ayo is king , which means the cousins failed in their attempts smh
mari was slightly bitter after the coronation , but it only lasted for a short while , bc news hit him that his father wasn’t very well , which meant that mari would have to step up & do more
i’m gonna say to save confusion that he just wasn’t doing enough . he rarely got involved with political moves , so that’s crucial now since his father can’t cope as usual
so i don’t rly know how this will affect him , it’ll either make him kick his ass into gear & do shit with his life or he’ll get so stressed he’ll have a break down

-☕ . ˚ ◝ ( song yuqi. female. she/her. ) huang “sunny” xiaohui is a twenty year old gemini. the kindergarten assistant’s go-to order is lemon tea with honey and a brownie. they like to listen to happy by melissa polinar while they wait for their order. the employees of the deja brew think they are naive but swear they’re totally enthusiastic as well. maybe that’s why van gogh paintings of sunflowers, children’s laughter, paint covered hands, and sticky notes with positive messages left everywhere remind me of them.
pinterest --- statistics --- d*scord: anne#2807
hello everyone !! my name’s anne, i’m turning 21 this month, and i.... don’t know what else to say about myself so i’ll stick with a shameless plug to stream jopping lol. i live in europe so timing could be a bit funky but regardless i’m so so excited to be here and write with you all ! under the cut is a bit more abt my precious bean xiaohui (aka sunny), so please like this and i’ll come slide into your ims for plotting !
trigger warning: cancer, death
okay so xiaohui just really loves life and being happy, and she wants everyone around her to feel the same. think the color yellow and sunshine combined into a person and you’re p close
she’s the second child and only daughter in the huang family (she has two brothers, one older and one younger). her parents really wanted a big and happy family, and that’s what they got! this meant a childhood full of laughter and fun, and their family was all v close with each other.
her dad is a writer, so he had a pretty flexible work schedule and was able to spend a lot of time with his kids. her mom was an artist, so that’s where xiaohui first got interested in art, and she’s been painting / drawing ever since.
unfortunately, when she was nine years old, her mom passed away due to cancer. everyone was understandably upset, and their dad decided that they needed a change to get back on their feet. so they moved all the way from hong kong to los angeles!
xiaohui was enrolled in the middle school there, and had a hard time at first bc she wasn’t that great in english and it was an entirely new culture.
as if that wasn’t enough, she was really struggling to live without her mo (who she had been really close to) and knowing how to help her younger brother (who didn’t have many concrete memories of her/didn’t have a mother figure anymore)
so instead of letting herself get too caught up in grief, xiaohui stepped up. she did her best to take care of her family, and they all became even closer during the next few years.
when she entered high school, things were totally different (mostly bc she could speak english by then). she made friends and painted and biked around town and laughed a lot! la finally started to be home for her, and she really does love it. she also decided to go by sunny when talking to american friends cause it was easier for them to pronounce!
graduated high school, but because it’s just their father supporting all four of them, she decided to work for a year or so before attending university (and she was Not a big fan of school cause she kept getting distracted so that was also a bonus)
found a job at a neighborhood kindergarten! she works as a teacher’s assistant and gets to play with little kids all day and absolutely loves it. one of the happiest times in her life was when she was that age, and she wants every kid to have the same joy in their lives, even if it’s just when they’re at the daycare.
her family was a bit confused at first cause they thought it was more like teaching than she would like, but she just really didn’t like the structure of school? learning and teaching are both great as long as they can be all over the place, which is why working with kids is so fun for her — she gets to teach by using stiCKERS how much better can you get?!
just under two years ago, her grandfather passed away. her dad had been considering spending some time back in hk, and his father’s death was the catalyst he needed. so he went back to help his family, taking the youngest member of their family with him.
her older brother had already been thinking about having his own place, and he took this opportunity to take that step! xiaohui ended up moving in with him and they have a lot of fun.
isn’t really sure that she’ll go to university? with her dad moving away it got swept to the side, and now that things have calmed down she’s really enjoying just working with kids all day and not having to think about grades or whatever.
calls her dad / younger brother once a week, often with her older brother in the room. even though they’re a bit farther away then they ever have been, the huang family is still very close.
uuum yeah that’s all i can think of but here’s some connection ideas:
best friends! sorta friends! new friends! xiaohui loves them all
she’s bubbly and optimistic, and your muse is. not. somehow, they’re still good friends!
other chinese muses!! xiaohui would love a bit of her other home here in la
someone who she gets coffee with whenever she can
someone who she sat down with randomly and started talking to
she may or may not have run her bike into you bc it was raining and she was looking at the rainbow who o p s
someone annoyed by her ceaseless energy
someone who she bounces off of and they have All the energy and so much fun together

hello gang gang, this is joy again and i humbly offer you oh saerim, a former baek ho babe who is also baek ho’s head of house. she’s the professor of transfiguration and professor of art. prior to working at yosul, she was an auror for the ministry, specializing in stealth and tracking. for more information on this absolute unit, feel free to check out her stats and backstory (its still a wip since i deadass put this muse together in a day alsdfkjalsdfj ) feel free to add me on discord @ mrs. mothman#2804 for easier plotting. i’ll still be in tumblr ims tho ! under the cut is a not so short tl;dr and some wcs !
OH SAERIM
just starting off with this: out and in the open big gay. has been in a relationship with the same woman an npc named yoonmi since forever. love is real.
33, baek ho alumni, baek ho head of house. #baekhobabes4life
her father ( half-blood ) and mother ( pure-blood ) met in scotland during beltane and succumbed to that ~ spicy magic ~ and proceeded to have 7 offspring 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻 👉🏼👶🏻👈🏼
saerim is the youngest child, and the only begotten daughter of the oh family. living, growing up, and competing with 6 brothers was not always good™️ but hey, they taught her how to fight dirty ✊🏼as well as how to stand up for herself and how to be brave. thanks oh bros.
was an active 🏃🏻♀️💨 student at yosul: was a chaser all seven years of attendance ( baek ho intramural team and varsity ), a member of the dueling club, and also the baking club.
double majored in transfiguration and defense against the dark arts because she’s an overachiever and wanted to prove she could do it
her father passes away near the tail end of saerim’s last year at grad school. she takes a break after graduating yosul, and goes to a maeobsa university to attain an art degree with a focus in photography, ceramics, and painting.
returns and undergoes auror training. she passes with flying colors, excelling in stealth and tracking as an auror. she’s their ace in a hole due to her being an animagus, which is a borzoi 🐶, the russian wolfhound, known for being swift and persistent in pursuing and pinning down targets.
nearly died on an assignment in scotland and, at the request of her mother and brothers, retires as an auror.
is asked by the current headmaster at yosul to join their staff as the professor of transfiguration lit rally a month after she retires 💁🏻♀️
she now works at yosul as both the professor of transfiguration and professor of arts. is also baek ho’s house master and the dueling club advisor lesgeddit 💪🏻
PERSONALITY
she’s the epitome of what it means to be baek ho: brave, determined, competitive, a reckless dumbass who won’t back down when challenged. would jump off a cliff to PROVE a point. throws hands, won’t hesitate bitch 👊🏼
emphasis on bravery: came out to her family when she was 17 despite knowing how conservative they are. it caused a rift in their relationship for a long ass while, but they try being progressive and supportive of her since she is, after all, the family’s babie.
she’s a social butterfly: tries to get to know everyone and memorize names and faces. is that teacher who knows who you are without ever having you in her class.
is really playful. loves pranking students, especially at night while in her animagus form. she’s been called the grim on many occasions, and uses this to scare the shit out of kids who’re out past curfew 🤡
the most loyal bih ever...deadass been with her high school sweetheart since the beginning of time. they lost count, no one knows anymore. that loyalty also extends to her baek hoes, friends, and family.
loves kids, is really good with them, hard pass on having any of her own tho. she’s happy being that cool aunt who gives the best presents.
super spontaneous and impulsive, over all really fun to be around.
PLOTS
baEK HO BABIES. who needs children when you’re responsible for 103581093581085 of them amriite ? saerim’s the housemaster of baek ho, and literally acts like a mother hen, constantly doting on them, whipping them into shape, and helping out whenever she can. don’t actually call her mom tho bc she’ll get an aneurysm
hag line friends 😔
soft, art aesthetic frens. this is a super self indulgent plot bunny lmao
mentees ! ! ! ! saerim’s always down to teach young whipperschnappers a thing or two. she may be in her thirties, but she stays in shape and can give anyone a can of WHOOP ASS
you run into saerim while she’s in her animagus form and you deadass nearly shit your pants because she looks like the grim lmfao
quidditch ! saerim played all throughout her time at yosul, and has a couple pick up matches with her friends in the ministry on that rare day off. need advice on how to get better/improve ? she’s always down to give a few pointers
you got saddled with detention and saerim’s the wall between you and freedom. good luck tryna get past her. she gives the worst detentions: the humiliating and laborious kind.

◟ * ◊ ─ jason bateman + cismale + he/him » * believe it or not gabriel dombrova is working for the lothario family. they are forty seven years of age and are known to usually spend their time around city hall. the mayor, who has been a part of the alliance for sixteen years, has been living in victoria for forty seven years. the people closest to them describe the bisexual + capricorn to be driven and astute as well as reserved and unforgiving »
background
— born and raised in victoria, despite not being a founding family, gabriel’s family still had relatively deep roots within the city; it was said that his great grandfather had moved here from massachusetts looking for the american dream. the patriarchal dombrova came from humble beginnings, building the family business ( a local inn ) from the ground up and over the decades it only got bigger and bigger until it had turned into the respectable hotel that it is known as today and now has multiple locations across the state of florida. naturally, his father inherited this business and his mother, on the other hand, is your typical southern belle, moved here from a small town in texas. she was a corporate lawyer ( it’s how she met gabriel’s father ) but since becoming a mother she really has had no interests in any other occupation other than trophy wife and socialite.
— to say that gabriel’s parents were old school would be putting it lightly. basically, both of his parents were deeply religious republicans and were very aware of their image as a family. they were harsh parents, extremely controlling when it came to their children’s lives but at the same time were also really emotionally absent. to this day they still believe that it was all in the name of tough love but obviously it was just emotional abuse. his father was especially hard on gabriel, he was a strong believer in physical discipline and thought gabriel to be too “soft”. he was always berating him, punishing him for petty offences, and pretty much just fostering your typical environment of toxic masculinity. though he never laid a hand on gabriel’s sister as she was what he called, “a lady” and his “pride and joy.”
— but gabriel was a good kid, he was obedient aside from stupid mistakes that kids are bound to make. he was your typical golden boy, a jack of all trades of sorts. not exceptionally good at one thing, but averagely good at a multitude of things. he was a quick learner and dedicated, anything he took a crack at, he eventually excelled in. throughout high school, he mostly kept to himself, choosing to focus on his education and after graduating valedictorian, he went to harvard where he earned his business degree. the plan was to come back to victoria, work for his father, and make his way up until he was ready to inherit the business himself.
— but while away at university, he met abigail. it was your typical whirlwind of a first love where it felt like it was just the two of you against the world. with her, gabriel experienced a sense of normalcy and sincere, unconditional love. for someone who severely lacked both up until then, maybe it wasn’t so crazy that the two decided to marry as soon as they graduated. together, they moved back to victoria to start their lives. to an outsider, gabriel’s life had seemingly always been perfect, envy-worthy. with a renowned and respected family, a successful business, the perfect wife, and now, a baby on the way too, it’s no wonder he’d been chosen by the lothario’s to be their candidate as mayor.
— his connection with the alliance started out small; the hotel business had been in a rough spot for a couple of years and out of nowhere, they seemed to have just come in at the right time, saving the day. he could be on their payroll all for the price of a few, teensy favours. favours such as his hotel being used as refuge for some of their men, a place of business when needed, and gabriel refusing to be a failure, especially in his father’s eyes, easily succumbed to their offer.
— of course, gabriel’s family has no idea about the real root of his sudden interest in politics, much less how the family business has managed to be so successful still despite his now even busier schedule. and as a result, his relationship with his wife and children have deteriorated over the years. it began as a defense mechanism, intentionally distancing himself from his loved ones as a way to protect them. and while his children maybe the one last soft spot gabriel has left, his sudden absence as a father has definitely put a strain on his relationship with them. however his relationship with his wife seemed to suffer even more, things between the two of them are definitely not how they once used to be. they’re cold to one another and see each other more so as strangers rather than husband and wife. unfortunately, a divorce doesn’t exactly fit into the white picket-fence image gabriel had so carefully curated over the years.
personality
— after decades of playing different facades, gabriel’s definitely lost a sense of his true self, or maybe it’s just fully gone. he used to be this really compassionate and benevolent person who always prioritized family over anything. it’s why ( at least this is what he tells himself ) he initially risked getting into business with the alliance in the first place, but now, he really only pretends to be those things to get the people to like him. he can be incredibly charming when he wants to be but it’s all just so .. hollow ? if that makes sense. like, nowadays there’s rarely an ounce of honesty or sincerity in him. he’s just so consumed with being a part of the alliance, it’s all he really knows at this point.
— extremely driven and cunning, if there’s something gabriel wants, he’ll get it. even as a child, he was an over achiever and so he’s known to always come through when it’s requested of him. he’s not exactly evil .. ? but he is loyal to the lotharios. i think there’s a small part of him that hates them, hates himself, and hates what he’s doing but idk he kinda just tells that it to shut up lmao. having had to learn it as a child, he’s very good at compartmentalizing which is probably why he can play all these different roles so well without going insane dnkjds
— really reserved, tries ( and succeeds ) to put out this strait-laced and conservative image. has the ability to remain calm in any sort of situation and twist things to his advantage. like honestly ?? gabriel is probably a pr manager’s wet dream .. he just comes across as this very charming and kind man, he’s the type of politician that’ll say hi to your baby and sign its head idk
but ugh idk it’s hard to explain gabriel’s personality since he’s such an emotional mess, i would just end up rambling about the same thing over and over again if i tried to keep going so i’m gonna .. stop right now.
connections
— personal assistant ?? someone incredibly organized and competent. this plot can range from really basic like .. yeah book my doctor’s appointment thnx to someone he’s actually pretty close to ? maybe he doesn’t even realize it, idk. like we can literally do wtvr w this, so !
— other members of the alliance, could be just someone he’s acquainted with or knows well and works pretty close with.
— if you have any muses involved with politics or managing ? his campaign manager or just anyone who worked on his campaign. like w the personal assistant we can .. go basic or brazy w this.
— love interests ? doesn’t have to be ~romantic~ per se .. but idk like affairs ig ?? cause .. gabe’s not perfect, rip. but he is careful so it wldn’t be like .. smth messy or if it was he’d prob make certain measurements after. idk what that means exactly dnjsnsdjk just tryna not get caught uk … or even something as small as flirtationships !
ok these all suck bc gabe is….. emotionally dead inside cnjdsnksnjd but ! obv tht can change per circumstance n whatever so pls .. feel free to mssg me whenever if u have any ideas !!

☆ ━ ━ OUT OF THE WAY ! can’t you see THOMAS TALLIS, the COURT COMPOSER of ENGLAND coming this way ? I hear HE is/are WARMHEARTED, but also MEEK. HE seem/s to remind everyone of A COLD STARRY NIGHT, HOT CHAMOMILE TEA, .&. A SOFT PIANO SONATA. hopefully one day HE will succeed in HIS ambition to BE THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE COMPOSER IN ENGLAND, but then again, the court is a dangerous place. one can only hope HE will keep HIS head… ( DANE DEHAAN ) ━ ━ ☆ as written by MILEAH ;; CST, SHE/HER, 20 .
The Real History
Thomas Tallis was a composer who primarily did choral pieces and holds his own in anthologies to this day. He had a distinct voice and style that had never been seen in choral history until his compositions appeared.
Little is documented about Thomas’s early life; his speculated birth year is 1505. He was an organist and a singer as well as a composer, and his first musical appointment was as an organist at Dover Priory in Kent. From there he went to London, then Waltham Abbey, followed by Canterbury Cathedral, then he finally came to court in 1543.
He remained in court from that point onward, composing for the likes of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth I.
Tallis married in 1552 to a woman named Joan, though they never had any children.
Thomas managed to spend his life free of controversy, despite the multitudes swarming around him. He kept his head down and was well liked at court, spending his life as a devoted Roman Catholic.
In 1575, Queen Elizabeth I granted him and his pupil, William Byrd, a 21 year monopoly on polyphonic music as well as a patent to print and publish music, one of the first times that arrangement was ever made in English history.
Tallis retained respect during a succession of opposing religious movements and avoided the violence which claimed Catholics and Protestants alike.
He composed until his dying day in 1585, an uncharacteristically long life for the time assuming his birth year is correct.
Mileah’s AU Wonderland
This is more or less the same in Mileah’s Wonderland, though I will probably play up his success a bit more since this is a name I had never heard of until I was researching him for a music history class.
Okay so here is my interpretation of his early life. It’s very rambly and it’s going to be more coherent once I post his official biography but this just gives you some insight!
I have Thomas in my head as around 26, so I’m going to have him born in 1510. He was an only child, and had humble upbringings for the majority of his life.
His mother played piano and was a singer, and she was the one who taught him how to play. She loved to play and wore out the same two books of sheet music she’d had since she was little, which prompted Thomas to start writing compositions so she would have more to play.
His father was a merchant who resented Thomas as his mother, thinking that she coddled him and that’s the reason he’s “the way that he is.” He tried toughening Thomas up, and the one time he took him out hunting did not end well at all, resulting in many tears and years of nightmares.
Thomas started to notice he was different from the other kids in his neighborhood when he was around six or seven. He gravitated towards the girls and did not excel at sports like the other boys did. He enjoyed braiding hair, playing hopscotch, reading, playing pretend, and of course writing music; activities the other boys and his father didn’t deem ‘manly’ enough. He was bullied frequently and endured verbal abuse from his father regularly. The only solace he got was from his mother, though she was usually pretty indisposed due to her having to deal with his father’s complaints, and from his neighbor, James, who was a few years his senior.
Over the years the girls began to think he was odd as well since he didn’t act like a normal boy, so James became his only friend aside from his mother. As Thomas grew into a preteen, his feelings for James grew more complicated. He confided in his mother, and even she, the only other person he could trust in the world, had at last turned on him. After slapping him for the first and only time, she said that he must say fifty hail Marys every night and to never speak of it again. Thomas did just that. He pushed those feelings as far down as he could and took his mother’s advice, never speaking of it again.
After a few days things returned to normal with his mother. He never brought it up again and neither did she.
When Thomas was thirteen years old, his mother contracted tuberculosis and passed away. He was crushed and could not stand the thought of staying alone in the house with his father. He sent him to a boys Catholic school a few towns over, whereupon his graduation he received his first job as an organist.
Thomas’s life up until his arrival at court had some more twists and turns that I could go into detail about and I will for his full biography, but we’d be here all day so I’m gonna cut it off right here!!
The Mun
My name is Mileah and I’m just so excited to start roleplaying again!! It’s been probably a year or two since I’ve RPed and this is my first historical RP ever so I’m in new territory but it’s gonna be great. I have such a strong muse for Thomas and I hope you all love him and he fits right in as well as I think he will!!
My personal tumblr is @noowanda and you’re free to follow me or contact me there, but I’ll be on the discord if you ever wanna chat bc I love making new friends :’)

VICTORIA JUSTICE ˙ 。♦ ⋅ ⋆ — here comes TEEGAN HELLRIDGE. did you hear that they are TWENTY-ONE, & a CISFEMALE SHADOWHUNTER. people tend to call HER OBSTINATE & IMPULSIVE. however, i say they are AUDACIOUS & DAUNTLESS. rumor has it, they are FOR the war
TW: MENTION OF ABUSE.
little teegan hellridge was practically raised on hearing stories about her magnificent father, alexander hellridge— the shadowhunter was a great and powerful man, a man who had a name to honor from centuries before him and who planned on keeping it that way.
alexander dedicated his life to being the best he could, constantly training, constantly working and wanting to do all that he could for the shadowhunting world. he threw himself into mission after mission and while he may never had made it as a head of the institute— he was certainty still an important figure.
teegan could never get enough of his stories, her father was her hero, she would beg for him to tell her stories of his missions— no matter how many times she’d heard some of the stories beforehand.
growing up, teegan knew that she too would have to continue to honor the hellridge name, something that coming after as great of a man as her father; made her feel insecure or concerned that she may not be the best that he was, that she wouldn’t live to be as legendary and heroic as alexander.
from the minute she could walk, alexander was eager to train his daughter— believing that starting early would be the key to her success, and it only helped that teegan showed great interest and determination.
despite the fact that teegan often was top of her class, it seemed that this was never enough for alexander— while his daughter would try to celebrate her success he would put her down, telling her not to get too ahead of herself and that she still needed to perfect her skills, that what she had done wasn’t good enough yet.
alexander pushed his daughter to every limit possible, and the older she got, the more teegan began to convince herself that it was a case of ‘tough love’. sometimes he would smile at her like he did when she was a child, when he would tell her those stories that she oh so loved to hear— but as for the rest of the time, he was stoic. he wasn’t her father, he was her commander and she was his personal solider.
alexander’s wife had stuck by him throughout it all, despite the fact she may not have agreed with his ways of training, she couldn’t voice her opinion without teegan jumping down her throat that he was trying to train her to perfection, that it’s what she wanted.
albeit, victoria hellridge cracked— one day the once loving wife and mother threw in the towel, offering alexander an ultimatum and threatening to take her daughter away from him.
what made her suddenly crack was alexander’s obsession been taken to a level no one would’ve expected— he was consumed by the idea of creating a perfect little solider, of having HIS daughter’s name go down in history.
between his daughter being blinded by her admiration for him, and how easily he could manipulate her by whispers of how powerful he was going to make her; it was only natural that upon her father suggesting experimenting on his own daughter, she agreed.
victoria, however was not going to stand for this— calling her husband all names under the sun and making out that he was psychotic, twisted, a disgusting man; something he then only proved to be right when she threatened to take teegan from him. he wasn’t about to let his pride and joy be taken by anyone, not even his wife.
with being such a well-known, loved man, alexander easily wound himself into getting his wife de-runed; and furthermore, getting her out of the picture. though, as far as teegan knows, her mother left them both; her father twisting the image into her mind that victoria was a selfish woman, that she didn’t want teegan to suceed; which only further fueled her desire to be that perfection her father pictured her as.
this is getting excessively long so to cut to the chase; alexander lowkey very much experimented on teegan— literally he’s kinda very much the worst dad in the world but she’s entirely blinded by this because she loves and admires him so much and fr someone needs to smack her bitch ass and tell her to wake the fuck up because everything about her relationship with her father is wrong wrong WRonG.
oh !! i should say that the only reason teegan is FOR the war is because daddy-o was whispering in her ear about it and has convinced her that it’s for the best because he ain’t a fan of them downworlders soOoo.
and of course teegan gonna do and follow what he says sooOo.
okay so little added bonus !! ya gurl has angel blood. thOUGh. she’s totally unaware of this factor as it’s from her mamma and her mamma never told her or her pops about it. her fathers experimentation have all been seen as failures by him considering they never had any impact or outcome on teegan, though he’s unaware the entire time that she already has what he desires her to have.
basically, as i’ve probably repetitively said throughout the many bullet points above; she’s daddy’s little solider-— teegan will do literally ANYTHING he asks of her, he could ask her to cut off her own arm and tell her it would benefit her and make her a better shadowhunter and she’d fucking do it like? it’s pretty extreme. she’s very much a down-to-business kind of person, likes to get shit done. can 100% be found training all the fucking time like.. even if she’s injured she’s gonna train. can be fairly snarky and just.. comes off generally not nice because she’s not here to make friends rly she’s here to be the best lmfao. iDk mAn. she’s a mess i’m a mess who isn’t a mess.
as for plots.. ya’ll i’m a big plot slut please give me eVerYTHINg. like, especially someone who might’ve accidentally found out about her dad’s exterminations on her? because he would’ve obviously kept that hella lowkey so pls? give me this plot? we can discuss if teegan knows this muse knows about it or their reactions etc. IDK MAN I WANT IT ALL.
{ TROIAN BELLISARIO } ˙ 。♦ ⋅ ⋆ — here comes (OCTAVIA NIX). did you hear that they are (APPEARING TWENTY-FOUR/TWENTY-NINE), & a (CISFEMALE) (WARLOCK). people tend to call (HER) (MANIPULABLE) & (FEARFUL) however, i say they are (INTELLIGENT) & (COMPASSIONATE). rumor has it, they are (AGAINST) the war.
TW: MENTION OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.
so first off, octavia is a fairly 'new' warlock i guess one could say? considering most are hundreds, centuries of years old she is only five years older than the year she stopped visually ageing at.
she's still very much coming to terms with her magic, learning new things on daily basis. it's only something of recent she's been trying her hand at, as for years she refused to acknowledge her power.
octavia was the offspring of an american-italian by the name of juliana, while her 'father' was that of a demon shape-shifted to the appearance of juliana's husband, alberto.
she was deemed a 'normal' child for many years, despite the fact on rare occasions alberto swore he saw her eyes light a vibrant shade of lilac.
skipping forward, basically alberto started to study closer into the eye-changing? and therefore wound up spending hours upon hours researching ---- the deeper he got into the idea of it being a supernatural cause the more repulsed and horrified he felt. coming from such a christian background he felt disgusted to think he had been taking his demonic, devil-child to church each sunday.
it was then he began to form the perfect plan, he could make it look like an accident ---- juliana would never know, it could be written off as a suicide.
however, his plan went to ruins when his wife landed home in the midst of alberto with both hands against octavia's shoulders, attempting to drown her in their family bathtub.
i just realized both my girls have #daddy issues daMn.
anywho, basically juliana saved octavia and tried to search out help ?? considering she was entirely unaware of octavia's 'gift'.
which octavia wound up living with a friend of her mothers for a time whom was also a warlock; the older female promising to teach octavia how to use her powers wisely.
however, being scarred from the doings of her father, she refused her help.
wanting to try her hand at leading a normal life, octavia moved to manhattan ---- finding herself a comfortable one bedroom apartment and for a period of time, she even had a job. which, she somewhat still has. after taking a job in a florists it was something she found a deep adoration for; finding the trade itself rather relaxing. making use of the extensive balcony her apartment was supplied with, octavia began to grow her own flowers and creating her own bouquets at home ---- opening her own small business were she worked from home.
this is trash but i swear i'm going to write up proper, detailed bios for my children in the future i sWear. but basically, octavia has only began to just drabble into magic and her abilities? it's something she's still very reluctant about and until this point has been trying to live life as a mundane. lowkey wakes up sweating and screaming sometimes because she has night terrors of her attempted murder lmAo. is a hella pushover? the reason she probably got into magic was because someone asked her to do a thing so she had to learn how to do it for them. honestly, you could manipulate her to do anYthing for you. emotionally just.. s m o l? her outfit aesthetic is basically spencer hastings like ?? not sorry. lowkey grew up wearing a little gold cross around her neck that she still wears but it's often hidden under the collar of her shirts lmaO. probs is always drinking herbal teas, feeds stray cats 10/10, apartment is covered in flowers and millions upon millions of books. i hope that ?? kinda covers the basis of my smol child but please !! plot with her ?? pls. lowkey feel like when the day met the night --- p!atd describes her in terms of she's the moon tbh ??
IDK GUYS PLS JUST GIMMIE ALL THE DAMN PLOTS.
