hotel blue moon | 8

“Why are you all angry again?”

“Mago. What else?”

"Just Mago? It had nothing to do with that author? Again?"

part 1 | part 7 | read on page (not for the mobile app, but prettier)

a/n: spoiler alert for episode 13 and 14, so im putting those under the cut!

since the newest revelations kiiind of broke my plot (which tbf is what i get for writing fic while the show is ongoing), let’s say we’re officially in au territory and nurse park isn’t moonyoung’s mom. cool? cool

also, for those who haven’t watched hotel del luna (obviously spoilers for hotel del luna ahead), mago is a god-like figure who does... stuff... and knows fate and stuff... and the tree is connected to the hotel owner’s life. if it’s dead, the hotel owner is immortal, but once it starts to bloom, the hotel owner dies when its flowers fall.

also also don’t hate me too much xo

Bastard, she thought at him as Moon Kangtae walked away. She could picture it—words from her mind gaining physical form and launching themselves at him like bullets. One “bastard” through his shoulder. One “hypocrite” in his spine. One expletive no children's author should say in his upper leg. Her hand, stretching and stretching, grabbing him by the throat, until he told her what the hell his problem was, ideally with apologies and grovelling.

She stormed back towards her car, absolutely fucking starving. Who did he think he was? He'd been flirting with her since the day they'd met. Moonyoung wasn't an idiot. The leg up hers—the wink as he walked away from her the first time—telling her Sangin had called him—the way he'd followed her out and calmed her down on that day—the way he'd stopped that man from even reaching her, then turned around and checked if she was alright, even though they hadn't made any contact—

Forget about that hotel.

If it was just a front, why had he gotten so upset over her description of the castle? That there had been fear, recognition of sorts, something that proved to her that she was right, that she had seen it, that that hotel was more than a three-storey redbrick covered in ivy, that it was—

—there.

There, in the distance, lighting up the sky. A palace. Undisguised by the rain, lighting up every drop of water. A palace she had never seen before, but one she had, hadn't she? Forget about that dream? Well, it was no dream, and nothing Moon Kangtae told her to forget would fool her now.

She turned around and walked toward Hotel Blue Moon.

When Kangtae had returned to the hotel from Hwaseong, the hotel's tree had been alive with leaves.

Just little buds that barely brought greenery to it, but—it was more alive than it had been in the last many, many, many years. And that might have been enough to scare him, but.

But then she had called, and he had gone, content to pretend the tree coming alive had nothing to do with the first person he had spoken to more than once in the years he'd been running the hotel.

It could be anything, he had reasoned.

But Mago—her he couldn't trust. A flower because she was pretty? If he didn't know what she was, he would have tried to crush her right there, throw her out of their sight, stop her interrupting the few hours of pleasure and entertainment and—moon forbid—relaxation he found once in a century or so.

By the time he reached his car, having taken the roundabout way to avoid running into her again on the way there, the moon had risen, and he could see the hotel shining past the other buildings, its crescent moon brighter than the moon itself, its towers taller than any other building in that direction. That was his hotel. A ghost light, shining ever-present on the skyline, always following him, always just there.

She had seen it. The short description of the palace had been enough to prove that; there was no way she would assume it resembled a palace otherwise, rather than those modern glass buildings that every other hotel in the city was.

He passed by two ghosts walking toward the hotel, one drenched and damp with eyes turned to the hotel like it was a beacon, the other with sockets in place of eyes—both a pallid blue that looked like death. He clenched his jaw and drove on. That was the problem. Kangtae rather liked Ko Moonyoung as she was. Pretty, and dangerous, and able to keep up with him... and alive. Human. So decidedly far away from his world, despite the way they had met, despite the ghost that had tried to pay him for revenge upon her. He would rather like, he thought, for her to stay that way.

So—no more meeting her, he supposed. Not if Mago was interfering, not if she could somehow see the hotel, if just in her dreams.

Not that it mattered. Ko Moonyoung was a human; Kangtae was the owner of Hotel Blue Moon. It had never been anything more than a little flirtation.

He stormed into the hotel angrier than the rain outside, and shouldered past when Jaesu tried to speak to him. He was in no fucking mood. The elevator took him to the top floor, and he grabbed one of his glass bottles before he strode onto the balcony. The rain itself shook around him.

Jaesu found him a few minutes later. "Why are you all angry again?" he asked—truly a man who didn't fear for his life. He tended to jump whenever one of the more gruesome ghosts came up to him, but he wasn't afraid of the one that could truly kill him. Kangtae scoffed.

"Mago," he answered, knocking back his drink. "What else?"

Jaesu crossed his arms. "Just Mago? It had nothing to do with that author? Again?" Kangtae ignored him, balancing his glass on the railing of the balcony and pouring himself another. "That writer means trouble, Mr. Moon. First you fought that ghost, and now the tr—" he cut off abruptly, apparently realising that he was treading on very, very thin ice.

Kangtae had nearly let someone drown in a frozen river once.

"Jaesu," Kangtae said, putting his drink away and glaring at him. "Stay out of what you don't know." He looked down to the ground, to the two ghosts just stumbling into the hotel, one in blue and one in a fluttering cream. "This has nothing to do with—" he started, and then stopped, looking down.

Cream. Like two balloons around her arms. She'd hovered so close to him the end of her skirt had brushed against his thighs. We match, she'd said.

All ghosts were blue from a distance.

The woman in cream grabbed the ghost's arm, and then both froze.

He was running downstairs before he realised, shoving past guests that tried to speak to him and the odd staff member that watched. This was his hotel—the stairs listened to him, moving faster than the elevators would, flying him through the levels until he was finally, finally, at ground, past the lobby, and outside.

Outside, where the blue ghost had her palms around Ko Moonyoung's shoulders. Moonyoung was a leaf in the wind, something resembling whimpers leaving her throat, as the ghost felt upwards and upwards, until her hands were at her neck and pressing, pressing.

Kangtae shoved the ghost away, nearly enough force to destroy her entirely. She stumbled away, hands scrambling for purchase, pits where her eyes should be, but he didn't care. Moonyoung fell, knees giving with the grip of the ghost on her, and he caught her, his arms around her, hints of blue around her shoulders and throat. Someone was shouting her name—maybe it was him.

Her eyes opened, finally, lucidity and recognition shining through. He could see the moon in them.

She said, "My lifejacket."

And then she went limp in his arms.

In the distance, Mago stood, basket of flowers in her hand

I will make a confession!

I thought for a long time that I was weird, apparently I might be aromantic. I only had a major crush on my life (it lasted for like years, but I think it was mostly Platonic (I was 12-13 I was very confused)) and a boyfriend. When my boyfriend kissed me, the magic broke, and I knew I couldn't be with him.

I also never saw the appeal of marriage, and I saw it as an inconvenience. I remember being 14-ish and telling my parents/family that I didn't want to marry because if the other party cheats on you, is easier to kick them out of the house than getting a divorce.

So yeah, I think that I'm aromantic.

Hey! Thanks for being so honest!

Well, I feel the same way? Kind off? I never really was into dating, and due to other stuff, I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 21...My family always was like, when do you get a girlfriend?? And I'm like? Uhh. I like video games :))) when I came together with one, I loved her, but I didn't know how to express it, and after just six months, we broke up and it ended badly... I think years later, I realized for myself that I'm asexual. I was never into that, and I didn't tell anyone tbf. Just my brother knows. But just to let you know! You're feelings are so valid. So valid. And you're not weird, or were both weird, but I can live with that❤️

#Confessions #Thank you again for your honesty #Anon

Since i have done this 30day challenge on two of my other pages it was about time I did it for this page, starting firstly with The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies will soon follow I promise.

So if you do not already no I have zero chill and zero patience so instead of 30 days I just do it all in one go 😂 feel free to sound off in the comments with your opinions, open to reading others' opinions and share in the love for this fandom 💖

1 - Klaus Mikaelson 💖 my king, my heart, the unrequited love of my life (fictional ofcourse)

2 - (in order) Caroline Forbes 👑 Rebekah Mikaelson 👑 Katherine Pierce 👑

3 - Klaroline, always and forever 😍

4 - Bamon or Stexi 🤔 although Stexi was definitely a more loyal friendship and I didnt want them together as a couple like I did Bamon

5 - Claire Holt, Love her to pieces, love her interviews and her post and pre TVD and TO work as an actress.

6 - Joseph Morgan, my husband in my fantasies only 💖 fantastic actor who I cannot wait to see what he does next 😍

7 - Daniel Gillies and Paul Wesley, their bromance is both adorable, authentic and slightly homoerotic 🙊😈

8 - Bamon or Elenijah, Bamon id have legit loved to see as endgame over Delena anyday and Elenijah I'd have love to have seen explored at least.

9 - Although neither the originals or Katherine were in every episode they were far from secondary in my mind, so in terms of secondary I'd say Lexi for sure.

10 - 2 and/or 3, most of the originals arc and Katherine stuff was peak TVD for me.

11 - The 100th episode for so many reasons, the nostalgic lookback at previous characters, Klaroline finally getting it on, a Mebekah reunion and lots of Katherine 👑

12 - He is your first love, I intend to be your last 💖 Klaroline was all kinds of epic and how poetic is it that she wound up being his last love💔

13 - Caroline singing at her mothers funeral 💔

14 - Elena, I know she went through alot but who didn't in the TVDverse, she was the victim and stayed within that role from beginning to end and god was she depressing to watch. She was also largely hypocritical with her judgements over things she too was guilty off 🙄 the fact I loathe her and love Katherine shows the incredible acting range of Nina Dobrev though 💖

15 - Stefan, he is like Angel with the Angelus edge, id say the male elena but that would be harsh as he didnt piss me off nearly as much 😂 he was alright I suppose I just didnt care for him that much, if he died early I'd have been like meh! I couldnt buy evil stefan either instead it made me cringe which is weird because Paul Wesley plays unhinged so well in Tell me a story...oh and also Stefan killed Enzo, not once but twice and he can only blame the humanity switch for one of those kills 😡

16 - i did ship Delena till they got together and lost all their magic, i never shipped Stelena but they did suit each other better than Delena or the very ill advised Steroline which should have stayed a friendship! Bonnie and Jeremy made absolute no sense and had zero chemistry so on those grounds id say those two or Steroline, Steroline itches me up the wrong way the most tbf.

17 - Elena and Caroline, Caroline was the better friend hands down for both Bonnie and Elena but Elena always seemed harsher to Caroline and yet couldnt handle it when Caroline gave her tough love back especially over Delena which tbh Caroline was right....IMO anyways.

18 - I cannot say Candice, Nina, Kat or Claire are anything but amazing actresses so I would never say any of them...maybe the actress who played Liv Parker, she was always kind of one note to me although not terrible but nowhere near as good as the others....I could probably later think of someone else but for now I'll go with her.

19 - Zach Roerig, a typical answer from fans I've noticed but he was just so blah for 8 full seasons I totally get why Im not alone here...also so far him and Steven McQueen are the only ones from TVD to appear in Legacies...Jeremy's cameo i didnt mind, Matts however...like when is he going to die and stay dead already? Sorry matt fans 😂

20 - A good chunk of episodes in season 7, didnt like Elena but didn't like TVD without Elena...would've loved the actress to stay on and either play another role or make Katherine come back preferably 🤩

21 - Most of them I started liking then hating, or hating to liking then back to hating 😂 I dont think I hated anyone from beginning then loved them by the end so ill just give a love to hate, Alaric...I liked him in early seasons but thought he came to a natural end when he died...from 6 onwards after he came back he lost any appeal and felt like he was just there to have another dead ex, then to cockblock Steroline which tbf was a good deed but still didnt revive him 🤣 and I full out despise him in Legacies but I'll dig deeper into that come a Legacies themed version of this challenge 😂

22 - Damon wins hands down here, loved him in the pilot, love turned to like as the show went on and then Delena happened and completely destroyed his chracter, Bamon gave him a much needed revival but Elena soon dragged him down once more...his live for her was obsessive to me, unhealthy and toxic and he couldnt cope without it. BAMON would've fixed all this IMO

23 - Okay stick with me here as this one has multiple answers for me...I'd have rathered Caroline or Bonnie as the main character alongside the salvatores than Elena so thats answer one. Answer two would be I'd have loved Katherine to have been the mainstay doppelganger instead of Elena. Answer three would be more flashbacks of Lexi and her life away from the Salvatores would have been interesting. Last answer, Rebekah should have been in more episodes both on this and TO but I'll probs get more into that when I do TO.

24 - The romances, the vampires, the villains and the aesthetic of Mystic Falls 😍 if you follow my other pages you know obsessed im obsessed with the supernatural genre 🥰

25 - Too much time centred around Delena and Stelena, which I know was the main story of this show their love triangle but it didnt have to be...

26 - Elena daggering Rebekah, my heart broke for Rebekah and hardened towards Elena...her biggest hypocritical move of many too!

27 - Heres one so this post isnt all bashing poor Elena 🤣 i love when Elena and Stefan wind up drinking in that bar together having a good time as friends...honestly wouldnt habe minded more scenes centered on this friendship.

28 - Klaroline getting together in the woods and/or the Klaroline moment in the last episode where he donates money to the boarding school...tbh any Klaroline moment 💖

29 - Liz's death and funeral, my heart breaks for Caroline everytime and Damon too, loved Liz and Damon's friendship 💔

30 - Almost all Lily Salvatore scenes, the worst mother alongside Esther Mikaelson....their deaths make me so happy every single time and I will never apologise for that 🤣

9. what is the last thing you had to drink? Some Vimto (though Ribena is always superior) squash in my new water bottle. It’s honestly so sick, I bought it off amazon and it keeps my drinks cold all day.

I was in the scouts, so we went a lot and my family used to go on holiday with a few other families when I was younger, we did it for about seven years until all of us kids were older. I do love it though and as soon as I get my car, I’m planning on buying a tent and going a lot more.

17. do you take vitamins? Not really

18. do you go to church every Sunday? I used to, then I came out and got kicked out. Not really religious anymore

22. what colour socks do you wear? Every colour under the sun. I love socks so much. The more colourful and uglier the better

39. what do you prefer sunrise or sunsets? Sunsets, I love watching out of my window, reading a good book with my dog curled up on the bed and a chill album playing. Some of my favourite memories are being on holiday or scout camp with my mates and talking as the sunsets. Very zen

41. describe your kitchen plates? Mishmash of my grandparents’ old plates, my ones from uni and a few random ones we have had from friends. We are doing up the house, so we wanted ones we didn’t mind breaking. Our nice Gordon Ramsey plates are in the shed hahahaha. Though we have been doing up the house for about three years now, so I haven’t used the fancy plates in an age.

First being red5 for about 6 months, then I worked at a children’s mental health charity where I loved my colleagues and the groups I ran, but my managers and some of the stuff I had to see and deal with were just terrible. My 18 months there were probably the worst of my life.

Cover Me

Author’s Note: happy birthday @yeolology <3 im just managing to sneak this one in for you <3 in your time zone, it is no longer you birthday but when you wake we will continue the celebration <3 welcome back to chanvember everyone!! enjoy more fluff that i am not used to writing! Pairing: Chanyeol x Reader (oc; female) Summary: On your birthday, you search frantically for your boyfriend’s hoodie only to find it is no longer there. Genre: fluff; romance Rating: PG Warning: minor swearing Word Count: 1,841

Technically, the hoodie is his.

His money paid for it, his hands chose it, loved it, without you in mind - years before he met you, and still suiting his taste even after you decided you liked it, too. Technically, it was never something you could rightfully call yours. Even though you wore it, even though you kept it, even though you imagined it was his body and his skin that kept you warm, breathing the scent of his cologne deep into your lungs while you wrapped yourself in the soft fabric, it still belonged to him.

Technically, these are technicalities, semantics. In the end, they mean nothing when it comes to true ownership, true devotion to a thing. His hands offered it to you first, lips pulled into a smile every time he saw it hanging low on your thighs. Mutually, it was decided that you would keep it, appropriating it to meet your needs: a sweater, a pillow, a comfort blanket, a cloth for your tears of frustration. It became him, amorphous and black and, therefore, able to be whatever you decided it could be.

And now, when you needed it, him, most, it was not here.

It’s not that your birthday is bad - far from it, it’s just that, without Chanyeol to turn every moment into something exciting, the moments in your day simply become pleasant somethings. Generic, pleasing things that fade without truly leaving a mark or imprint upon your soul.

Hugs from your family, cards from friends, the notion that tonight you will be taken to dinner and allowed to order all your favourites, these feel warm and sweet, like honey, delicate and wonderful. But, without Chanyeol’s touch or gregarious laugh, they fade almost instantly into your long term memory.

Without Chanyeol, you imagine a future version of yourself will look back on this with a furrowed brow and your tongue tucked behind your teeth, concentrating almost too hard to bring the memory back to life. In the end, all you will be left with is a summation of happiness, nice thoughts and dull colours. The notion that, I cannot remember anything terrible, so therefore everything was fine.

In the morning, you’d woken to a series of texts each more enthusiastic than the last.

Yeollie[4:12 AM]: ITS YOUR BRITHDAY Yeollie[4:13 AM] - Message sent with Confetti: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeollie[4:13 AM]: HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Yeollie[4:15 AM]: i missed midnight Yeollie[4:15 AM]: im the worst boyfriend Yeollie[4:16 AM]: forgive me? Yeollie[4:17 AM]: i want you to wake up knowing i love you Yeollie[4:18 AM]: youre annoying but youre still perfect Yeollie[4:18 AM]: reading week was only last month but i already miss you Yeollie[4:19 AM]: i miss your knees and how they bump me in bed Yeollie[4:20 AM]: and how your showers take too long Yeollie[4:21 AM]: and how soft you are Yeollie[4:22 AM]: its your birthday and i love you Yeollie[4:23 AM]: ill call later today Yeollie[4:24 AM]: ill go back to sleep now Yeollie[4:25 AM]: MAYBE WE CAN MEET IN DREAMS!!!!!!

Waking to these felt like a paradox. At one moment, you wooned into your pillow, hands still stiff from sleep and unable to type a reply. Laughter spilled from your chest and into your pillow, eyes squeezed tightly shut as your smile started to border on painful. Every text was read in his voice, loud and demanding your full attention, rich and luxurious, and settling over your skin like feathers. Each word was chosen carefully for you, delivered with its full intent and said because they came naturally, because they were the only words he could fathom alongside you.

But hearing them in his voice meant accepting the cold understanding he was not there, imagination bringing forth the noise and the warmth of him against your skin. With your eyes closed, it was his voice in your ear as he spoke and his arm draped over your waist to hold you to his chest. You heard and felt these things with cruel tangibility while you basked the blackness of your mind, and opening them meant separating yourself from his adoring touch.

And so because your morning had started with him, because your birthday made little sense without him here to share it, you craved the fantasy of the hoodie, the easy way it made you believe he was near. Tearing through your room, it soon became apparent it was missing, neither in your closet nor in your laundry. And as you continued to search, you realized you hadn’t seen it in far too long.

With a final glance around your room, undesired clothing strewn across your bed and chair and floor, you sigh at the mess and pull out your phone, defeated.

Y/N[12:31 PM]: yeol wheres my hoodie? Y/N[12:31 PM]: :( :( :( Yeollie[12:36 PM]: which one? Y/N[12:37 PM]: the black one Yeollie[12:38 PM]: you have a lot of black ones tbf Y/N[12:39 PM]: you know which one i mean!!!!

Excitement makes your fingers start to tremble; confusion molds your brow into something hard and quizzical. It takes a mighty effort, controlling your synapses and keeping your heartbeat steady. He couldn’t and he wouldn’t run through your mind a speed that takes a second to process their motions, body hesitant and apprehensive. Part of you feels as though you’ve swallowed your tongue, mouth suddenly dry and muscles turned to stone, wary of disappointment.

While it is not entirely out of the realm of possibility he would drive the many hours to see you, it’s also wholly like him to orchestrate something extravagant even when he is not here to experience it with you. And while you will be grateful for whatever lies in your driveway, the lack of his physical presence will hurt deep and down into the wetness of your blood.

So you brace yourself, close your eyes and wait for the shallow inhales of your lungs to become deep and languid.

As if pressing you for action, your phone buzzes in your palm.

Yeollie[1:14 PM]: stop overthinking and go outside

A great tidal wave of emotion consumes you, tears welling in your eyes as you move through your house and out to your drive.

Of course he would. Of course he would.

He runs to you the moment you throw the door open, long limbs stumbling and struggling to carry his tall gait. Chanyeol is a large blur of white teeth and pink ears, hair tucked beneath a black snapback.

It happens quickly, the arms around your waist and the scent of him consuming you. Beneath your ear, his heart thunders, excited and fraught with emotion - much like yours. Around you he is firm, grip on you tight and breath cascading into your hair, warming you and soothing you, both acting as though the height difference does not exist.

‘Happy birthday,’ he murmurs as his fingers press into your back, steadying himself as much as you. ‘You really thought I’d miss this?’

The wetness on your cheeks is hot, tears gently seeping into your pores without your permission. This is not like you. You are not one for emotional displays, but the relief you feel reaches down to your toes. Bewildered, it takes you a moment to answer, mind caught in a fog of realizing that love and loving are two different things; that you love your family, but loving Chanyeol means days are only special because he is there to make them so.

‘How the hell would I have known?’ you laugh, pressing your nose into his sternum. Your skin recognizes the fabric and, on instinct, you cling to him a little tighter.

Chanyeol scoffs in mock offense. ‘Yee of little faith.’

‘You were here last month. It’s such a long drive.’ On instinct, you take a step back to pull away to peer up at him, wanting to search his face and find all the pieces of joy he keeps tucked into his cheek bones. But he holds you too him, unyielding and unwilling to let you depart from him so soon.

‘You’re more important than the gas,’ he reasons, softly.

‘The gas is expensive.’

‘And you aren’t,’ he teases quickly, and you can hear his smile. Against your best wishes, you smile with him.

‘Ass,’ you laugh. ‘When did you take that picture?’

He laughs, deep and rich, the sound vibrating down in your bones. ‘A few weeks ago. Waited for you to wonder where it went but you never asked.’

Comfortable silence settles between you, time slipping by in unmeasured moments. Chanyeol’s touch warms your skin, raises goosebumps of affect and only when he shivers slightly to realize the air has taken on a chill.

‘We should go inside,’ you sight.

Against the crown of your head, he nods.

‘I brought the hoodie home,’ he says, sounding content.

‘That’s okay,’ you whisper, raising onto your tiptoes to kiss his cheek. ‘You can keep it for now.’

At this, he pulls back to regard you with surprise.

‘For now,’ you smile, ‘I just want you.’

Rosemary and Rue - Reread

Finally caught up on the series - now to go back and see what I missed before.

Contains spoilers for the series up to The Brightest Fell and the June 2018 Patreon short stories. All the spoilers. So many spoilers.

One hour before the pond - Toby is staking out Simon and enough hints are dropped that something bad comes of it.

Hi Oleander - have we met another Peri in the series? I guess they are anti-social enough to stay out of Toby’s radar.

Why doesn’t Toby know for certain that Simon was involved with the underworld before this? He’s been called a villain since at least the 50s and his magic’s been rotten oranges instead of cider for just as long. I guess the purebloods besides Sylvester and Evening aren’t talking to her.

So all of this was meant to draw October out without giving her allies to draw on - Sylvester’s out of the picture and not in any place to look for her - so that she’s taken out. What did Evening think when Simon turned her into a fish instead of killing her? Toby’s out of the picture - and maybe that’s enough, especially if she dies as a fish.

How long do koi fish live? Did Simon’s transformation help there? Why does he even have such good transformation magic - he should have blood magic and illusions. Transformation is Maeve’s domain. I guess he gets to branch out - transforming Toby’s shoes in TBF never did wear off, and he did turn Patrick’s suit into something more suitable for the party in a short story.

~14 years later~

Apparently we meet the Luidaeg now when Toby’s working as a checkout girl. Did she know of things that were coming? Wanted to see her niece? Is she in her ‘Cousin Annie’ disguise? Toby isn’t paying enough attention to tell me

Hi Mitch - do we ever figure out what Stacy’s fae heritage is? Is it too faint? How exactly do they end up with two Seer daughters? Is Stacy all she claims to be?

I am not sure why Toby is so utterly convinced that people seeing one pointed ear is going to betray Faerie - people will ignore and forget about much weirder things. Chelsea managed to get by fine for 16 years.

Tybalt! I don’t recall if we know how they met. Does October even know Tybalt’s history with the Torquill family, or even that he’s of the same generation-ish with them? She definitely doesn’t know about September yet, or that Tybalt was friends with the three of them, or anything else going on in London in the 17th century.

Did Tybalt know that Simon’s her step-father? He must have. The amount of information her allies don’t bother to tell her is amazing. And why didn’t she investigate Simon more? Any amount of digging would have turned up that relationship.

Hi Quentin, your life is never going to be the same.

Interesting that the first description of Amandine we get describes her as a liar. Amandine the Liar. I guess she really did want a human daughter, one that wasn’t going to get involved in Faerie. If it wasn’t for Toby resisting her attempts to make her human, she might have gotten that.

And now it’s her Changeling Choice - that the Luidaeg told Sylvester about. Is October named after August, or is she named after September? Explains why Sylvester flinches at her name. There is so much that October didn’t know then.

Are Moving Days ever explained? I guess it’s either May 1/November 1 or February 1/August 1 for when the courts moved from Maeve to Titania and back. Beltane is a celebration in Faerie, so it’s probably May/November.

June 9, 1995 to June 11, 2009 - I don’t know if those dates have meaning beyond Toby’s time in the pond. Also, does basically everyone in Faerie who cares knows she was there?

Why would Sylvester’s phone number have changed in that time? Why is Evening so nice to October? Is it part of of her con? Her past actions as described in this book don’t match anything else that come later. Early book weirdness?

Does October know that Cagney and Lacey are spying for Tybalt? Also, what is this about October finding Evening’s sister’s killer? Clearly that wasn’t another Firstborn. Did Eira just fit herself into some other family - but that wouldn’t explain the last name. Someone she convinced everyone else she thought was a sister? This book has so many questions. Evening plotting the destruction of the false Queen’s court? When she was instrumental in getting that queen on the throne? Getting Toby knighted?

This doesn’t make sense with her motivations later on - and I trust the Luidaeg and Simon with their explanations far more than I trust Evening. I think I will chalk it up to the first book and if it doesn’t appear in another book, it never happened.

Wait, dammit. Her sister’s name is Dawn, and Tybalt (or Patrick, I can’t remember) explicitly mentions a Daoine Sidhe by that name later. No last name given. Who are you, Dawn? If Evening’s pretending to be a regular Daoine Sidhe, fitting in with an existing Daoine Sidhe family is a good way to go.

“Even Sylvester, the most ‘human’ pureblood I’ve ever known’ - oh October, by TBF you definitely know enough to sense watermarks in people’s blood - you can see that Maida was once a changeling before the hope chest. Did you never think to re-examine your assumptions once you developed new powers? True, I’m sure that the twins were made pure-blooded soon or immediately after birth, but still. There were enough rumors that Tybalt figured it out.

Does August know? Did she think to look?

What’s up with Evening’s human body? Did she convince the night-haunts to leave one and just got up and left after healing? The night haunts didn’t actually eat her bullet-ridden body because she doesn’t show up in the flock later. Maybe she did what April did to get January back?

I guess some of these spoilers are meaningless without context because that last sentence makes no sense without April’s short story.

I thought Oberon’s lines had the blood magic? Why does Toby think everyone but the Daoine Sidhe get it from Maeve’s lines? Or does she not know about that yet?

What is October going ‘to end at last’? What mockery? Her being a changeling? Clearly Evening knew what was going on and meant for her to find the hope chest. If Toby is completely human, maybe whatever destiny is in Amandine’s line is gone. Since Evening can’t harm Toby directly, pushing her in the human world and away from Faerie does basically the same thing. Maybe.

Was working with Devin and the other changelings a contingency plan in case Toby came back from the pond? A way to get her human?

As far as the false Queen goes, I get why Toby never thought about her ascension. There wouldn’t be any rumors in 2009 that the Queen and King Gilad didn’t share a common race, and Toby didn’t know anything about Gilad. Clearly Mags did, and probably the Torquills, but it wasn’t worth talking about.

That is interesting timing - everyone says August disappeared in 1906, and Simon was working with Evening by the time of the earthquake in April 1906. That is at most 4 months to exhaust all other options and sell your soul to the devil.

I am concerned that going to Blind Michael for help is even a consideration. Who are the Tarans of the Berkeley Hills? Do they ever get mentioned again?

Also concerned that Toby can’t tell what blood Devin has.

Were the hope chests made to make the fae races ‘pure’? Who sired the Daoine Sidhe with Evening? Amandine pulled every trace of Daoine Sidhe from August before she was born so August was ‘pure’ Dóchas Sidhe but that wouldn’t work for other races. Do it enough times and you have enough for a population.

Tybalt, you know that hope chests exist. Are you just surprised to see Toby with one? Maybe that backstory hasn’t been developed yet.

Hi again Quentin. Hi Connor. Hi Raysel - I liked you better when you were elf-shot.

Have we found out how Luna and Raysel got out of Simon’s hidden bubble? I don’t think we have. Does Raysel and Connor know that Simon’s her stepfather? I like how Raysel calls her ‘failure’ just like the Luidaeg calls Simon ‘failure’.

Does Sylvester’s allergy to cats extend to Cait Sidhe? Do purebloods normally get allergies, or is this leftover, like Maida’s scars?

There is no indication that they were as upset by Dawn’s murder as they are by Evening’s.

And Toby is covered in blood for the first time! All of it hers.

Hi as-yet-unamed Marcia! Toby can’t make out your blood - are you really a thin-blooded changeling, or something else?

How exactly does Lilly know Amandine? Did she always know who Amandine was?

Hi Julie, hi Ross - you were gone too soon.

Toby’s passing out again, yep.

How exactly did Devin save the Luidaeg from burning? She’s been in the city forever. I’d say he was lying if she didn’t confirm it. Definitely lying when he said he called Sylvester though.

I will say that the Torquills and the Lordens don’t care about mixed marriages, but Raysel and Connor’s children would be interesting.

Is it adultery if your affair is with a changeling? Human is a definite no, but changeling?

Why does Goldengreen open on Amandine’s name and not Evening’s?

Oh, those times when Luna was friendly. I miss those times.

And Toby wasn’t paying enough attention at the register - the Luidaeg does have her customary face.

Rose goblins being “an accident on the part of a niece of mine” - Luna? Or one of her sisters?

Amandine trying to “fix matters on her own”, oh yes.

Goldengreen wasn’t the first hope chest, but it’s the one the Luidaeg had before it ended up with Evening. The first one was given to Eira? A half-blood child? Not really how I would describe her, so maybe it went elsewhere. Maybe to the first child who descended from both lines?

“It all came back to blood and roses” - Amandine’s magic. I forget what the other half of Eira’s magic is, the one that isn’t roses.

At least Devin gets to avoid Evening’s revenge by being dead.

Does Toby still visit Dare’s grave? The books don’t say. She does still have the knife though.

Done with Rosemary and Rue! On to Tamed Lightning with January and April.

There’s a lot in this book that sets up the series, but there’s a lot of pieces that don’t fit cleanly. What exactly was Evening up to with October and the kids from Home?

Forgetting why I teach - My story

So I have created this blog as an inspirational and motivational source to carry on teaching. I am in my third year of teaching and last year was rough.

So lets start at the beginning... NQT year. As a chemistry specialist, I was asked to teach physics, not a problem, should be able to teach any science right?

Felt I had little to no support on teaching physics (apart from one amazing technician) , no resources available etc. I persevered though and taught to the best of my ability with the promise of teaching chemistry next year. The year went by and several observations (at good with outstanding elements) passed. I felt the year was as good as can be. Passed with ‘flying colors’ is what I was told.

Fast forward to the summer, was approached and asked if I could please teach 2 groups biology next year (one being an exam group) due to a member of staff being on maternity leave. I agreed with the condition, when said staff member returned I October they would take over the biology classes so I can be left to teach chemistry.

Cue the beginning of my second year teaching.

September/October - Taught as normal, October half term approached and received an email. ‘ (redacted) will be back next week to take over the GCSE biology class, please make sure the class are up to date with rota etc’

Perfect I thought, No more biology! A chance to really develop my teaching now rather than subject knowledge.

Side note - I taught this GCSE biology class on a Tuesday afternoon.

So on Monday I had a meeting with member of staff on her return from maternity, wiith seating plan, rota etc ready to hand over class.

Jokes. Never Mind.

The day before the lesson, I was told ‘we thought it would be a good idea if we team teach the group as further support in your early teaching career’ I very begrudgingly accepted. I had to teach that first lesson and then we set up a rota for team teaching etc.

The following week I met with the member of staff returning from maternity, (we will call her Bio Teacher). Bio teacher explained to me that the school no longer wanted us to team teach and I was to carry on teaching with bio teacher observing the lesson each week for ‘support’

So it has now gone from ‘ teach biology just until October’ to ‘your lessons are going to be taken by bio teacher’ to ‘ we’ll team teach’ to ‘ you’ll teach and I will inflict great stress by observing and criticize you teaching a subject you're not specialized in every week’

Now I was not very happy with this situation so had lots of communication with various people about this stopping.

Then one Friday afternoon, I was told ‘ we didn't want to tell you this and cause more stress but the reason this is happening is because of some behavior management issues that got brought up from last year (NQT year). So we would like you to undergo this coaching for 6 weeks and have an official observation at the end.

excuse me what?

Had a breakdown over weekend, thought things through and was ready to go back on Monday to defend myself with:

- Positive behavior management observations from last year

- Emails about high expectations from senior leadership team

- My NQT report that stated behavior as a strong point

School backtracked and said ‘ well, when we said behavior management we might have worded it wrong.’ What we really mean is

- Too many kids going to the toilet in my lesson

- I am sat down too much

- Some kids have jumpers still on

Seriously this is why I am being observed and ripped apart every week?!

Now, I know I still have a lot to learn, and actually that biology group was an absolute nightmare to get them to behave ( more discussion on that later). but if that was truly the reason, I could fix that overnight without any fuss. When mentioning this, I was shut down and told this is happening.

So a few weeks passed, Teaching this nightmare of a group (worst kids I have ever taught for behavior) the. everything finally just gets too much. It started with intense nausea and throwing up on the morning of the lesson. I have been diagnosed with GAD from about 14 years of age so I instantly recognized the beginning of this spiral. Extra pressure was mounting up and up from various sources but this was the main source. It soon moved on from being sick over the weekend worrying about it to basically only getting reprieve for maybe the 15 min after the lesson before the feedback. Then one morning I could not myself down, I knew I had to see someone.

Doctor upped my dosage on my anxiety medicine, which had taken me 4 years to get to the dosage I was on, It felt like 4 years of progress completely erased. In fact it felt like 10 years of progress had been erased.

The doctor also signed me off for 6 weeks for stress and anxiety. For the first 3 weeks I still could not settle down, I started looking at other options for jobs, In my mind that was it, I would not be going back to school under any circumstances. I was not cut out for teaching. I was done. I had maybe a week or two of not feeling sick before the anxiety began creeping back in at the idea of going back. After discussing with my wife, the decision was I can't quit teaching right now, We would have no money for rent, bills etc. I would go back and try again, but would quit if it got too much.

So first week back - I cried my eyes out every single morning. I threw up every single morning. I did find as the day went on It did get better. I decided to just stick it out. Then the whole Tuesday observation started up again. It was a struggle because I was beginning to love teaching my other lessons again. but this one day a week was stopping me from functioning.

A few weeks later COVID became a thing and shut schools down. I was so happy and relieved, I no longer had observations weekly. I won’t go on about lockdown much other than I was no longer anxious about this group. 6 Months passed. Schools were to reopen once more.

Apart from the anxiety surrounding covid, I found myself actually looking forward to teaching again. I could put last year behind me completely.I was just teaching chemistry. I was hopeful once again.

First week back teaching was amazing. No feeling sick, No crying about going in. It was very positive and I was really excited about my career ahead.

and then the email came form bio teacher...

‘can we meet up next week to discuss coaching and your observation and where we go next’

Here we go again. I felt the dread seeping its way back in. But with a positive outlook I thought just do it. Do the observation that will end this coaching session business. Do it and put the past behind. So an observation was agreed for two weeks time.

In those two weeks - I was very happy, My lessons had been going well. I was ready for this observation and to put the past behind. (side note- in this two weeks there was also uproar from other teachers who taught the biology group saying they were unteachable etc. This did validate my feelings a little)

So observation, I tried to include a lot of tactics that the observer herself advertises (yes I was sucking up a little but I wanted this to go well) This observation felt like make or break to me. Either it goes well and the past if truly out down and I could try and move on and be happy in teaching, or it would crumble and I would spiral again. I knew I was not strong enough to spiral again. I could not do that again. I would leave teaching for good without looking back.

Observation happened. I thought it went pretty good and went about the rest of my day. Relief seeping in that this was well and truly the end. I met with the observer that afternoon and boy was I wrong.

Or was I?

So it began with some strengths, for maybe 5 mins which are listed below:

- High expectations and behavior management ( yup you heard right)

- Cold calling was excellent, ensuring no student could answer with ‘I don’t know’

- Tasks were great with good modeling.

Then came the 20 min talk of my faults and weakness’

- No learning objective shared

- What was the point of the starter task (bear in mind this was one of her own techniques!!!!!!!! WTF)

- No Deep Questioning ( which tbf I really would like to get better at so I will work my hardest on that)

So you might be thinking ok, no big deal, some positives, some negatives, and maybe I'm just being too sensitive but the whole conversation left me incredibly deflated and ready to give up once more. The concentration on my flaws was how much of that time was spent. So I went home, cried, ate takeaway, and mentally quit teaching again. I have no idea whether this truly is the end of the ‘coaching’ with bio teacher or not.

It is Sunday now, and I am feeling incredibly anxious about going back to work. If this truly is the end of coaching as agreed, then I would really love to work on my deeper questioning.

If coaching and weeks observations begin again.

Then I 100% well and truly will quit teaching forever. There is no way I can put that above my mental health ever again.

Honest Thoughts on Pickle and Peanut

A couple days, I made this TwitLonger post about how much Pickle and Peanut would’ve been a better show. This is the page if you wanted to see it: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sq6cbc

Now that I saw all of the season 1 episodes of Pickle and Peanut I just wanted to prove once and for all that it’s not the worst cartoon ever. Because how sensitive the creators and even the animators at Copernicus are with criticism I just wanted to tell everyone to give it a chance or ignore it. I will do the former so they can get off my hair. Even Disney TVA isn’t helping at all.

Season 1 of Pickle and Peanut was a mediocre piece of junk show that I’m sure no one wanted. But some people just want to watch it unironically, and they’ll convince people to watch it. Now, I don’t want it to be compared with Teen Titans GO, because it’s easily Disney’s response to it. When I first saw it, I was immediately turnt off by its shitty character designs. Pickle and Peanut needs to look 2D, not like they came from freaking Google Images (I won’t give the Annies for nominating this garbage as “best” character designs). After 4 episodes, I give up. I should feel ashamed that me and most cartoon community were turnt off by it just because of copypaste style. (I also couldn’t stand its random humor. They crammed too many live-action shots too much, and it felt like something from SpongeBob). But I already explained this on TwitLonger post; let just post my opinions on the episodes itself, shall we?

Episodes Opinions:

Greg/Gramma Jail: BOTH TERRIBLE (easily the worst episodes of the entire show imo. It sucks so much that I was disgusted by its style. As someone who always gives something a chance I WAS TOO HARSH. Mr Enter said it best in his Greg review though. Gramma Jail is just as bad.)

Cart Rustlers/Swim Lessons: BOTH MEDIOCRE (You can tell they were both obviously better episodes, but its humor is still the biggest problems. TBF, the plots were harmless enough, even if I still didn’t liked it)

Pickle the Falcon Master/Pickle Adopts a Family: MEDIOCRE and BAD (I’ll stop explaining, since you all get the picture)

PAL-SCAN/America’s Sweetboy: BOTH BAD

Gory Agnes/Haunted Couch: AWFUL and BAD

Body Spray/Luxury Car Service: AWFUL and BAD

Cookie Racket/Busted Arm: BAD and AWFUL

Pigfoot and Tae Kwon bro: BAD and MEDIOCRE

Christmas episodes: MEDIOCRE (Cabbage Day), BAD (Springtime), and MEH (Yellow Snow)

Sewer Shark and Trick or Scare: BAD and MEH

Bee Colony and The Goose’ Juice: BOTH BAD (NOT A GOOD BIRTHDAY GIFT, DISNEY XD)

Wiz Fest and Gym Rats: BOTH MEDICORE

90s Adventure Bear andParking Lot Carnival: OKAY and MEH

Volcano and Bike Jumper: TERRIBLE and MEDIOCRE

Francine and Cell Phone Tree: BOTH BAD

Sneaky Patty Sleepover: MEH and MEDICORE

Bats and Movie Camp Out: BAD and MEH

Night Shift and Scalped: Both MEH

What Lies Beneath and The King Rat Moves in: Both MEDIOCRE

Australia: OKAY

2 okay, 7 meh, 8 mediocre, 14 bad, 3 awful, 3 terrible (Add that up, and it’s still a BAD cartoon imo.)

But whatever, who knows, season 2 might either be the same shit or hell, even an improvement. If anyone reading this, tell Noah Z Jones, Joel Trussell, and Johnny Pemberton that I already gave this show a chance. And next time, try to have a good looking art style, ok?

when did you first come up with your ocs?

Oh, that’s a good one!

Ruby’s been around a long, long time, since I was 9 years old! So, 14 years ago. I’m not sure of the exact date, but it was around the time the Waking the Dragons episode of Yugioh where Kaiba finds the Fang of Critias aired, lol.

Rex I came up with when I was 16 and has been around since September 5, 2010. I know the date in his case because I still have the original drawing, and it was digital. He was just supposed to be a one-time drawing for me to play around with an idea, but then I liked him and my sister named him “Rex” and he stuck around persistently until he was transferred to his current home in TbF.

Shana is really the only oc whose creation I can’t remember very clearly. She existed in the form of multiple characters associated with Rex before TbF, but when she followed him into TbF I merged them together. I think she existed somewhere in my head when I was 17-18, but her character recognizable as she is now didn’t show up until I was 19, so, 6 or 4 years ago depending on how you look at it.

Austin has been around for, 5 years, I think? My co-writer and I were discussing the very early TbF ideas, before we’d even decided to write it, and I threw out an “alchemy guy” and there he was. It took a while after that before his character started coming together, though.

Zero and Skylar I haven’t talked much about recently, but they’re both about 3 years old. I did a redesign of Rex’s original design/role and Zero branched off of that into his own thing, and Skylar followed shortly thereafter as ideas for Dreamwalker started popping up.

11, 14 & 17? ^.^

asks for fanfic writers.

I did 17 over here, but!

11. do you listen to music when writing?

Sometimes, yes! It sort of depends on what I’m writing and what kind of mood I’m in, but I pretty much always listen to something. It’s more just a matter of whether I’m going to listen to music or TV/movies.

And then in each case, there’s the issue of like, “do I want to listen to the Twilight Princess OST or the Silent Hill 2 OST?” (because video game OSTs are great at both evoking mood and increasing focus), or, “do I want a video game OST, or my playlist for [character, ship, project, the mood I’m in, whatever; I have playlists for everything]”

—or if I’m going to listen to TV/movies, then it’s like, “TV or movies?” and then, “Disney movie or superhero movie? Marvel movie or DC movie? Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, or Female Trouble? The Prince of Egypt or Crimson Peak? Star Wars” or in TV Land, it’s more, “Well, I can’t work and listen to something relatively new [which is one of the biggest reasons why I’m perpetually late to everything new on TV], so… House or Criminal Minds? Yuri on Ice dub [because I can’t watch the subs and write at the same time] or SVU reruns? Firefly or Futurama?”

14. easiest character to write

Oh gosh, that’s…… hard. And it often depends on the fandom, and sometimes it depends on what kind of mood I’m in, but…

Barty Crouch Jr. has always been really easy for me (partly because he has Favorite advantage, and partly because I’ve put 16+ years into his character at this point, so like. JKR could drop all of her notes about his family and backstory and everything on us tomorrow — not that I really think said notes exist, but if they did — and I’d probably just go, “Yeah, that’s nice, but with all due respect, Mum? My version’s better, and I’m just going to continue treating it as if it’s canon because bite me, that’s why”).

AlSev Potter and Scorpius Malfoy are both really easy, too, but tbh, I think that’s because my versions of them are essentially glorified OC’s, since my attitude toward Cursed Child with regard to characterization is, “*nods mildly* That’s nice, but I’m going to pick and choose at my leisure, thanks. No offense, but I’ve been working on these kids since DH first came out, and I much prefer my headcanon Scorpius who is the biggest, loudest, gayest Drama Princess you have ever met in your life and has been trying to shock Lucius into having a heart attack and dying since he was like six,

“and my headcanon AlSev who’s sometimes Ruby Minerva Severus, most often genderfluid but sometimes a binary trans girl and other time a gay cis boy, loves Ginny but has a complicated and often strained relationship with her (but in fairness, AlSev-Ruby talks to Godfather Neville and Hagrid about their problems more than they talk to either Harry or Ginny), has a complicated relationship with Harry too but for other reasons and when Harry and Ginny eventually divorce each other, AlSev-Ruby is going to stay at their Dad’s more often than their Mum’s, and never lets anyone forget that their middle name is Severus because AlSev-Ruby likes pissing them off with that fact — especially their Weasley grandparents

“Ron but AlSev-Ruby usually feels bad about this because they know on some level that they’re usually lashing out at Ron unfairly because it’s not about their name in most of these scenarios and entirely about other emotions that AlSev-Ruby has no earthly idea how to handle or express in a healthy or constructive way, and they boil over very easily when people needle them about their name (and if it weren’t Ron on the receiving end of this, it would probably be James)

“and Snape’s portrait, whom AlSev-Ruby accidentally made respect them by going, ‘You’re a painting. You are oil on canvas, magically imbued with the real Severus Snape’s personality and memories. Snap at me all you want, but you can’t do anything to me that��s worse than what Rita Skeeter and Molly have been doing for my entire life so far. If you want to get to know me, instead of using me as some conduit for all of your lingering issues with my Dad, then cool, I’d like to get to know you, too. You’re the closest I can get to getting to know my real middle-namesake instead of the myth of him that’s been built up since the War. But if you’ve got nothing interesting to say, then please shut up and let me wait for the Headmistress in peace’ in their first year, if not as eloquently because they were eleven and being Sulky™”

As much as I still hate being compared to her, even accepting that I totally deserve it, Hermione Granger is another easy one for me to get into and always has been. The hard thing with her is not reducing her to either Perfectly Perfect Hermione (which JKR can even fall into some times, like when Hermione hexed the DA sign-up sheet and it scarred Marietta’s face without regard for how Umbridge is the one to blame in that situation and not Marietta) or some joke about some of the times in canon when she was Over The Top about something, in ways that Harry didn’t entirely get so the narrative treats them as Totally Hilarious, even though SPEW (for example) is actually not funny when held up to scrutiny and Hermione works so hard at school out of deep-set fear of failure and being dispensable, and probably also fear that maybe she doesn’t belong in the magical world

Luna Lovegood is also pretty easy for me, though the hard thing with her is trying to make sure that I write her thought processes honestly but in a way that makes sense for the reader (it’s a variation on the big problem of stream of consciousness writing, where writing actual facts stream of consciousness looks like Finnegan’s Wake and is tedious as fuck to read, so Luna has to be close to stream of consciousness but tamed enough so that the experience of reading anything written from her POV is more likely to be enjoyable, and less likely to be like getting hit upside the head with a tire iron labeled, “IT’S ART OKAY, IT’S NOT FOR YOU”).

Then, Remus Lupin is by far the easiest of the Marauders for me to write, and Andromeda Black Tonks can actually be pretty hard for me sometimes, but she’s easier than either of her sisters and still one of the easiest MWPP-era characters for me, period.

And as far as non-HP characters go: well, my other biggest source of fandom writing in the past while has been Teen Wolf, and the top five easiest kids for me there are Scott McCall (to the surprise of no one ever), Kira Yukimura (#still bitter),

“Camden Lahey (but lbr, he’s pretty much just an OC with a canon name because literally all we know about him in canon is, “Isaac’s older brother, on the 2005/6 swim team, died in the military” so the rest of it is shit that I wholesale made up and of course he’s easier for me to get into character with than, say, Allison — who is probably the third easiest of the ladies for me to get into character with, after either Braeden or Malia but it depends on the day — because Allison has, like, actual canon shit to deal with and Cam…… kinda doesn’t.

Like, all of the vaguely Actual Canon shit that he has to deal with is stuff that’s off in the realm of extrapolation, interpretation, and, “Hey, nothing in canon says that he DIDN’T visit Derek and Laura in New York on his way back from his first visit home during his service, or that he DIDN’T drag Derek uptown to see Patti Lupone as Mama Rose because Cam is a Fanboy for reasons relating to his and Isaac’s late Mother, or that they didn’t argue at the intermission about how IT’S A MUSICAL DEREK STOP TRYING TO QUESTION WHY THE CHARACTERS SING JFC IT’S LIKE I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU”

or, “lbr, Derek is as subtle as a brick hitting you in the face at 5,000 mph and Paige canonically figured out that he was a werewolf anyway, so I don’t think it’s entirely implausible that, if we accept the idea of him and Cam being friends — and Cam being one of the only people who, like, genuinely likes Derek, instead of tolerating him because he’s okay at basketball and his family is rich — then Cam probably figured out that Derek and Laura are werewolves, and if that’s the case, he probably got trotted over to the Hales’ place so Talia could give him third-degree about whether or not he’s with the Argents or any other hunters.

“And, because he was like fifteen and had literally just found out that supernatural shit is real, Cam probably showed that he wasn’t a hunter by getting way too excited about hearing which magical creatures are real and temporarily shelving his hate-on for Talia to be all, ‘oh my god, are vampires real? can they infect werewolves? could Derek be like, a vampire werewolf, how would that even work’ or, ‘so silver bullets don’t hurt you, but what about someone saying your True Name? is True Name magic real?’ or, ‘do seances actually work? I’m totally not asking because I want to try and perform one to contact my dead Mom, I just want to know, like. For curiosity’s sake. Yeah……’”

[spoilers: Cam was TOTALLY asking because he wanted to try and use a seance to contact Eleanor. Derek and Laura had to stop him from trying to do the thing no fewer than eight times before Cam and Derek graduated. To his credit, Derek at least skipped trying to give Cam any kind of lecture, but tbf, he did that because he knew Cam would argue back at him about how Derek had no right to tell Cam that he was doing something stupid and dangerous and playing with things that he didn’t understand, and that Cam’s argument would probably be more than fair.

This did not stop Laura from giving Cam the lectures that he completely deserved, though, because: 1. he was essentially walking up to a big red button labeled, “do not push” and trying to push it without even reading the owner’s manual or the informational plaque on the wall that had a full explanation of why you shouldn’t push the button, and he KNEW that he was doing this, but he felt like it was all going to work out TOTALLY FINE because he wanted his Mom to be not dead and in lieu of that, why can’t he have a seance, Laura, UGH;

and 2. because, unlike Cam and Derek, Larua generally doesn’t do shit that’s too horribly stupid or that has completely awful consequences (…mostly), so she had an actual high-ground from which to give Cam these, “don’t screw around the magic, what the fuck are you thinking” lectures and wasn’t intimidated by Derek’s loudmouth little friend who, like, actively repels everything that even vaguely resembles chill.]

—so, anyway, the point is that I can pretty much do whatever I want with Cam and it makes him a lot easier to write. Laura is a similar case of, “this character is easy for me to write because I made her up,” and in fairness, a lot of my characterization for Braeden is headcanon, too. It’s just headcanon that has more of a basis in canon than Camden and Laura do.

I mean.

Except for parts like Braeden’s twin sister Belladonna who is a ballerina because fuck Jeff Davis, that’s why and also the only family member Braeden still talks to on any regular basis, and their parents who teach at Miskatonic University because I’m pretty sure it’s in the public domain at this point so nyeh, I’m gonna use it, and also they’re in the know about the supernatural but part of a group who has a policy of strict non-intervention, which Braeden thought was bullshit so she set out to do her own thing, which initially involved more plans to help people…… but then she learned that a girl’s gotta eat, and the mercenary work got started.

Also, she will wipe the floor with you at karaoke. Because I felt like it, that’s why.

Yeah, that’s all pretty, “this is not even remotely implied by canon and I wholesale made it up because canon wasn’t giving me like any damn Braeden backstory beyond the barest implications and I fucking felt like it, so there. PS: fuck Jeff Davis.”)

Derek Hale (I’m not always proud of this fact or entirely thrilled about it because when I get into Derek’s head, I take a lot of things from his canon characterization — especially in earlier episodes, before he started trying to be less of a jerk and discovered that: 1. he sucks as an Alpha, and 2. he loves Scott sooooo much — to their logical conclusions and his head is usually not a very pleasant place to be.

Like, he’s my werewolf disaster and I begrudgingly love him but we’re still talking about a guy who, when I write him, makes leaps of logic like, “Well, Cam said to look out for Isaac because he’s not here to do it himself. That is totally the same thing as giving me verbal permission to stalk his baby brother and manipulate him into accepting the Bite, very good plan, way to go, Derek!! :D” and thinks that, “Scott kissed ME first and didn’t explicitly SAY that he’s NOT 17, therefore I’m totally not obligated to ask him shit about shit or consider whether or not he’s having sex with me as a form of emotional self-harm” is a completely valid conclusion and way of doing things

He’s also a guy who would do things like cheat on Braeden with Cam and Cam with Braeden, while telling neither of them about this, and then when he gets arrested for doing something ridiculous, he would call both of them to come get him at the Sheriff’s station because he’s pretty sure that one of them will be mad and decide to just leave him there to think about what he’s done this time — which would end up in both of them coming, and figuring out that they’ve both been getting cheated on, and skip right past the, “being mad at the other cheated upon party” part to the part that’s more like,

“going for coffee and complaining about the fuck-up they’ve both been dating and making fun of things like his secret One Direction blog, or the Star Wars fanfic he writes where his blatant self-insert OC gets to bang Han, Leia, Mara Jade, Lando, both of the Solo twins, and Padmé (in some wonky shenanigans involving time travel) — oh and sucks for Derek, but Cam and Braeden decided to tell Parrish to just leave him in his holding cell because fuck him, they’ve been getting cheated on so he can just call Laura and beg her to come save his ass tonight”

negl, one of my favorite places to put Derek in non-supernatural AUs is prison. How he wound up there usually involved him killing Peter, and it sometimes involved him panicking and hiding Peter’s body under the floorboards because he’s a loser who thinks Edgar Allan Poe is actually a good model for How To Handle Murdering Someone, and…… yeah, I just. I love Derek, he’s easy for me to write, but he’s a disaster in ways I don’t always feel like dealing with, so sometimes, he gets to just go the fuck to prison so I don’t have to deal with him today.)

and……… ugh, I can’t pick between Danny Mahealani and Jackson Whittemore for the number five spot, but both of them are really easy for me, and like. Jackson, I am still vaguely ashamed of, but I don’t feel that bad about it because I got here by virtue of writing him when Astrid and I RP’d TW stuff together and she didn’t want to just talk to herself for ages by writing Isaac and Jackson, and I refused to half-ass it with Jackson and found a way into his head and here we are.

And Danny as I write him is, in a lot of ways, only somewhat less of an OC than Cam and Laura, so…… basically, that.

And bonuses, because I like talking about my legitimate OC’s, oops: Margot, Pete, and Sebastian are the easiest for me to write at the moment but in fairness, that’s largely because I’ve done the most work developing them as characters, relative to everyone else in the cast.

Like, Todd (who is officially Seb’s “it’s complicated,” and Seb’s Gawain Stacy, if you ask Pete — or sometimes even if you don’t ask Pete, because he will totally tell you this whether you like hearing it or not, especially if your name is Sebastian) — Todd has this notion that he, Margot, and Seb are basically gay boy!Hermione (Todd), lesbian!Harry (Margot), and, “Ron but like what if his family had Malfoy money and he was gay” (Seb). He’s not entirely wrong (and their Houses map onto the Trio’s secondary Houses because of course I know my OCs’ Hogwarts Houses, like why would I not know that)

(This whole Thing of Todd’s actually STARTED because I knew that he is a Ravenclaw, Seb’s a Hufflepuff, and Margot’s a Slytherin, and went, “lol, it’s like the Golden Trio in an AU where none of them wound up in Gryffindor, heh”)

and it makes sense that this is how Todd sees things with them because the three of them found each other in undergrad (though Seb found Margot when their RA paired them up for some “getting to know you” thing during orientation because they were the tallest and the shortest people on the hall, and he found Todd at the first meeting of the campus LGBTIQ students organization, had a crush at first sight on the cute chubby guy in the hot pink t-shirt with the screenprint of the Pink Flamingos poster, and totally meant to go be Super Cool about asking Todd out……

……buuuuuut he got excited and instead it came out like, “Hi, oh my god, I love your shirt, you like John Waters, I love John Waters, he’s my hometown hero, oh my god hi hi hi, my name’s Sebastian what is yours do you want to go get coffee, please be my friend, do you like Rocky Horror too? there’s a theatre a couple blocks from here that does a regular shadow-cast, we should totally check it out, I have just met you and I like you please be my friend” instead of like an actual date invite. And he totally called his Mom later that night to go, “MOM, I MADE ANOTHER FRIEND. TWO IN TWO DAYS, MOM. yeah no i still kind of hate my roommate he’s a jerk BUT I HAVE TWO NEW FRIENDS MOM”

………He was very lonely before undergrad because his only constant friend who wasn’t one of his siblings and didn’t shun him after he got outed at Catholic school [though technically, he sort of outed himself in an attempt to spare his boyfriend/best friend from being outed because Seb’s parents already knew he was gay and were totally cool about it, but Damian’s parents believed in reparative therapy and his uncle was the priest at their Catholic school, so him getting outed was really not an option]? Yeah, that only friend was Pete. But I digress.)

Anyway, Todd’s view of things is a little skewed by how he’s lived them, and strictly speaking, trying to map any of my kids onto the Golden Trio and Company is going to end up being a discussion of archetypes and tropes more than anything else because…… But they’re not the Golden Trio and Company.

There are some similarities, but they are mostly in the realm of archetypes AND the ones that aren’t quite as trope-y happened by accident (like, when I noticed that Seb actually does have quite a few similarities with Ron, aside from having Malfoy money — right down to his dad having an A name (Abraham) and his mom having an M name (Marceline) — I went, “well, FUCK” and started trying to get some of those similarities to be…… less so? Because…… Seb’s not Ron. And I don’t want him to be too overly similar to Ron because I want him to be himself, in his own right.

Fortunately, though, Ron isn’t a filthy rich, gay recovering addict who’s been living with undiagnosed major depression for his entire life and sort of accidentally stumbles into finding his mutant superpowers, and whose abusers aren’t his parents — because Abe and Marceline are pretty chill and have been fab to all four of their kids — but rather a series of douchebag ex-boyfriends who [unlike Molly and Arthur] are for real in-text acknowledged as being abusive jerks, and that’s a pretty solid start on Seb Is Not Ron)

But if you were going to try to do the Golden Trio And Company map here, then Todd would probably be Ginny, actually. They don’t have a lot in common, but there are some points of crossover, and the biggest one for me at the moment? Is that right now, I’m guilty of something that I bag on JKR for doing all the time, which is, “Ginny is a great idea for a character but you didn’t fully actualize her like she deserved in the text, you regularly reduced her existence to being Harry’s Significant Other, and it’s frankly bogus, Joanne” — and I’m aware of this, so I’m trying to fix it by working on Todd as a character

But I’m also trying to not spend forever fine-tuning every last detail about a story and then not having a draft of it so much as I have a two-foot stack of print-outs about different parts of it that kinda sorta look like a complete picture when you arrange them just so and tilt your head slightly to the left. So, basically, at the moment? Getting Todd to be more fully realized is on my List Of Shit To Do, but it’s way less of a priority than, “actual complete draft of this train-wreck” because I can do some of this work in revisions and rewriting

But since I opened this door anyway and want to complete the thought for the amusement factor:

Seb, obviously, is Harry in the bigger picture, even if this is mostly based on, “Harry is The Protagonist of his series, and although MY series is ultimately going to be more of an ensemble cast thing, Seb is the focal character for the first book because, in fairness to all the others, he was here first”

Todd is Ginny for the reasons that I just said

Pete and Margot both have very fair claim to being either Ron or Hermione, so they could arguably take turns, and ultimately, the big reason why I’m going to say Pete’s Ron and Margot’s Hermione?

is that Pete has two older siblings and some Issues with both of them (though he’s working them out with his sister, and not so much with his older brother) and has been Seb’s friend longer

while Margot’s an only child and they have totally used the, “we’re both gay, we love each other like brother and sister” line when they don’t feel like explaining their no romo soulmates kind of relationship to people (and sometimes when trying to make Seb’s siblings be less…… not pleased that Margot is so important to him, because to varying degrees, all three of them kinda sorta blame her for some of his problems in ways that she doesn’t entirely deserve)

Lucy is Neville but, like, a plucky ginger lesbian. This is probably one of the comparisons that looks a lot more like reaching, because on the surface, Lucy has a lot more in common with Ginny outside of their roles in the plot — but the thing is?

Even once I get Todd to be more developed, and even if he and Seb aren’t endgame (which was my original plan and I might stick to it but they have a LOT of shit to work on before they can go there so we’ll see how that goes), Todd is still going to be Ginny’s closest analogue to me because the ideas of them and their arcs are closer than anyone else’s (though in fairness, my idea of Ginny and her arc isn’t necessarily anybody else’s because JKR botched writing Ginny so much that this is almost, “room for wild mass guessing” instead of, “room for interpretation”)

Whereas…… yes. Lucy comes on strong, she’s a plucky go-getter who would probably try to fight the sun if she thought the sun was looking at her girlfriend funny, she’s a complete loudmouth and not always in ways that are conducive to anything, she’ll call you on your shit but usually without realizing that she’s saying something she needs to be hearing too, she tries too hard to do everything on her own and usually needs to experience some kind of big setback before she’ll consider accepting help with anything, and she will probably shout at someone while telling them to go calm down because they told HER to calm down.

Also, she’s the only one in my main ensemble cast who’s a legit Gryffindor, for better and for worse (Pete is a Slytherin — though in fairness, Gryffindor is his secondary House [he is aware of this, thanks to an ex of his who made him get Pottermore Sorted and was dead shocked when he wound up in Slytherin, but he has no idea what this means but he’s offended by it because Gryffindor’s colors are red and gold and no thanks, he doesn’t like how he looks in red and gold. He loves how he looks in green and silver, though] — and Josie’s a Ravenclaw)

—but a lot of how Over-The-Top Extra™ she is? that comes out of insecurity and trying to be various things that aren’t true to herself, because she deeply believes that she isn’t good enough. Granted, a big difference between her and Neville is that, while Neville spends a lot of time in the early books being terrified of his potential because he might screw up and prove right everyone who’s ever called him useless, Lucy instead tries to outrun her all of feelings of self-doubt and self-loathing instead of dealing with them, and basically plays a game of, “if I ignore them and just act like the popular idea of me — or like the me I want to be — but louder, maybe they will go away!!”

She’s going to be shocked when this catches up to her, because when she first shows up in the story, she’s of the mind that hey, she has accepted that she’s a lesbian — even if she’s only out to a small handful of people because…… uh, she’s Damian’s baby sister and their parents are still Not Really Very Safe to come out to. Their dad is probably going to die without Lucy coming out to him and she has VERY fair reasons for being afraid that he’d disown her for this — but!!! She has still accepted this!!!! Clearly it was the ONLY THING in her life that she wasn’t at peace with and now she IS so everything is going to magically be ALL BETTER NOW RIGHT!!!!!

No, not really, Lucy. Your sexuality is just one of the things about yourself that you aren’t at peace with.

Lucy’s response: *throws herself even harder into trying to outrun her self-doubt and being completely disingenuous to herself in the process, while trying to smile and laugh like nothing is wrong even though it really blatantly is*

So, that’s all going over about as well as you’d expect (i.e., not very well, not even a little bit whoops), and a lot of her arc in the series is going to be about finding peace with herself and finding her own ways of being a hero that may not necessarily line up with any more conventional expectations thereof, or even her own preconceived ideas of How To Hero Good, and yeah. She’s Neville, but like, a plucky ginger lesbian.

Also, she and Seb are foils for each other in a loooooot of ways that make them mapping onto Harry and Neville make more sense than trying to make Lucy map onto Ginny, in structural terms

Josie is Luna, and I’m short-changing my genderfluid empath child a lot right now but I’ve also been writing this post for WAAAAAY longer than I intended and ahahaha, everyone’s probably bored

And Conrad is Draco Malfoy, but absent any of the excuses that fans love making for Draco (especially not the age thing, like. Draco behaves in a LOT of ways that are completely unacceptable for any person of ANY age, but I will acquiesce that his age is a contributing factor in some instances because he’s a freaking CHILD. Conrad’s not, though. Like, Conrad is 46 and the oldest member of the main cast in the first book. Conrad gets no excuse for his bullshit based on his age.

He also doesn’t get to claim anything about being terrified for the safety of the people he cares about, because…… uh. While I think that the HP fandom oversells that point re: Draco in HBP because at first, he was completely gung-ho and proud of himself for joining a group of Pureblood supremacist domestic terrorist fascists, Draco was still abused and manipulated by Voldemort here — and during the entirety of HBP and DH — and…… well. Conrad was lied to and played by people who are even bigger douchebags than he is, yeah. But he wasn’t sold on joining the neo-fascist supervillains by having his loved ones threatened; he was sold on it by having his ego stroked and only giving a fuck about how this could benefit him)

So, basically, Conrad is Draco with even fewer redeeming qualities

Given that I think Draco only has, like, TWO redeeming qualities, or maybe three on a good day (and that’s debatable because at least one point here is, “it’s not really a quality of his own so much as the fact that I hate victim blaming more than I dislike Draco”), uh

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah, no.

Conrad is only not The Literal WORST EVER because there are other douchebags in his neo-fascist supervillain club who are even worse than he is.
