#both of them still love the other and understand eo

[marcskywalker]

Wait I just thought of it.

Imagine au where after merlin confesses to his magic, at the end he was somehow able to save Arthur. They make it back to Camelot but there is some awkwardness between the two, like they've forgotten how to act around eo.

After years of hiding, Merlin is hesitant to show Arthur his magic, to make himself vulnerable to his King in that way. And Arthur takes longer to believe merlin's stories, there are more questions and double takes than there used to be.

Merlin tries to return the sigil one day, thinking that he doesn't deserve to have it since he doesn't have Arthur's full and unwavering trust any more (his words not the king's).

Arthur presses it back into his palms, "It's a gift, Merlin. You keep those."

part 3

Just as Simon had promised, he left a window in the kitchen open, the latch unlocked and the screen light enough for you to slide up and crawl in. Dressed in your hunting attire, the cheap Ghostface mask you bought at a little Halloween store and made your little disguise from other leather clothes you took from Simon and bought on your own. You’ve seen people cosplay in different styles, but you’d grown fond of the leather-clad Ghostface from a game you never bothered playing, but admired.

Dropping in quietly, you stalked through the house, your shoes leaving a trail of dirt as you round the table, running a gloved finger over the clean surface. You liked how clean the house was, tables wiped squeaky clean, floor mopped and carpets smelling fresh, everything about this place oozed of obsession and cleanliness —both things you understood and practiced. But you loved dirtying perfect homes even more than obsessively cleaning your knife of dried blood. There was an appeal in painting the alabaster walls of your obsession with blood, the prettiest red adding life to a bland life, much like their choked screams and screeching wails echoing in your ears when you stabbed them. It was a passionate art —your art.

Leaving the kitchen with a trail of dirt as a reminder that you were in Johnny’s safe haven, that you had power over their dwelling that Simon swore was safe and well protected. You knew it was, the blinking, red light of the camera pointed down the hall and peering into the dining room. You peeked your head out, putting on a show for Johnny to see when he woke up, standing straight as you left the safety of the wall. A crooked grin stretched behind your mask, head tilted to the side and waved at the camera, it was deliberately slow and taunting.

You could already see Johnny’s face, the panic and sheer terror that you relished in. You knew he thrived on control, being in control of his situation and understanding it, losing it could send any man on the edge of fear —even you and Simon liked organisation and control. You slowly climbed the stairs, your coat flowing behind every step of the carpeted floor, hand sliding up the banister until you reached the end of it.

You were finally on the same floor as them, their bedroom door left slightly ajar for you to peer in with an eye, breath laboured and warm inside your mask when you found Johnny and Simon sleeping in bed. You pushed it open, sliding in with your eyes still lingering on the couple, eyes as wide as the smile on your lips. Johnny was sound asleep, oblivious to your presence in the safest place in the house, snoring lightly with those low, hanging bags under his eyes. You would’ve felt guilty for making Johnny’s nights horrible if you weren’t so sadistically pleased by his debauched and exhausted appearance, warmth stirring in your gut at making him so sad.

Unconsciously, a hand slipped under the lapel of your coat, finding the brick-shaped camera in your pocket, an old model you inherited from your grandparents. You stepped closer, standing at the end of their bed, waiting for Simon to acknowledge your presence, for him to see how far you made it in their house without alerting him. You wanted to make him proud for using the skills he taught you when he first took you in, showing you the way with a hard hand and mean praises. And you couldn’t stop the shudder that wracked your body when his eyes opened, his pretty brown eyes staring through the black fabric hiding your eyes and mouth.

“Si,” you whispered reverently, gazing at him for permission as you raised your camera.

Giving you a subtle nod, he closed his eyes and acted asleep, letting you take as many pictures as you wanted. Feeling extremely giddy, you positioned the camera, looking through the viewfinder of your 1993’s EOS Rebel and snapped pictures. You admired every shot you took, taking a second to preserve the scene in your mind, committing the shots to memory. Taking a few more, you tucked it back into your coat, bending over Simon��s side to whisper your gratitude, ready to leave and call it a night, but his hand griped your wrist, calling you back to his side.

Head cocked to the right, you watched him slowly untangle himself from Johnny, wrapping his arm around your hips and brought you to his chest. He hummed lowly, hands running over your disguise and slipping under your chin, collaring your throat before he cupped your chin, nudging your mask over your lips. Blinded by the mask’s cheeks, you felt his hot breath hit your lips, making you squirm on his lap, body tingling and core pulsing for a rewarding kiss from your owner.

“Thank you,” you managed to choke out before his chapped lips met yours, his kiss dominating and passionate, holding your face still as he devoured you whole with one kiss, “Thank you. Thank you.”

All you could do was mumble in worship, thanking him for every touch of his lips on yours and the burn of his invading tongue. He left you panting and wanting when you crawled out of the house, locking the window behind you like he told you this morning, walking home with a skip in your step.

Johnny felt sick, the unease in his gut weighing heavily as he stared at the computer screen in utter fear. He scrambled to the office after he found a series of pictures taken of both him and Simon in their sleep, vulnerable and oblivious tot he danger that was standing an arm away from doing anything to them. He hadn’t taken a second to flip through the images, rushing to the computer to see how his stalker had made it in their home without either of them knowing. He gawked at the lean figure standing in the arching entrance of his dining room, clad in black and grey toned leather waving at the camera.

He would’ve laughed at the disguise if he wasn’t so spooked, the white, scream face with a hood pulled over, coat loosely wrapped around you with a belts and straps, and ending at the feet with ankle-high boots. The slow and cocky wave they did sent a chill down his spine, seeing the complete ease and comfort that his stalker had to take the time to wave and take their time in his house —he counted almost an hour before he saw them leave through the kitchen.

Threatened by taunting package of pictures, he looked through them, fingers spreading the dozens of pictures taken in his room over the desk, some falling to the floor in is chaotic search. His eyes roved over the desk and floor, frantic until he stopped at the black scribbles on the other side of a picture, a message that he caught from his height.

I enjoyed our night, Johnny. See you two next time!

-Your friendly Ghostface

[hoonphobe]

there’s so many points i need to make abt aot, eremika, and eremin omfg. i’m just gonna bullet point it.

the last two eps are probably the most in depth mikasa’s character has ever been. i’ve always disliked that her whole personality was pretty much being devoted to eren and that she’d only ever be seen as her own person in very small increments. like even when eren wasn’t present. her character had so much potential and it was kind of wasted. she deserved so much better like how is the fmc one of the least developed women in aot

i was never the biggest fan of eremika because imo they lacked a lot of vital chemistry needed for a relationship especially on eren’s side. eren cares for mikasa deeply but i could never see it being romantic. i feel like every “advancement” eren’s made towards mikasa some other outside force caused that. like armin having to tell eren that mikasa deserves better because she’s liked him for so long and he never returned those feelings idk it feels so forced

eren’s relationship with armin is MUCH deeper than the one he shares with mikasa and it’s shown in both the anime and the manga. him and armin have always connected on a deeper level because they share all their burdens, the same dreams, they completely understand eo better than anyone else. if eren ended up with anyone it should’ve been with armin.

i think eremika had potential. if eren had a deeper connection with mikasa like he did with armin it’d make sense why they’d end up together. i’m aware that everyone has different relationships with others and love presents itself in different ways, but eren has always been someone that wears his heart on his sleeve so i find it hard to believe that he’s never express himself to mikasa once even if it’s not directly. i feel like since mikasa loved eren so much they used that to imply that eren loved her the same way which is very cheap and lazy imo.

i feel like there was sm eremin erasure after eren’s death like they had a whole conversation abt how they’ll always be together even after death and yet the only person we see reunite with eren is mikasa. i have no problem with eremika reuniting at all, it makes sense since armin was the last of the trio to die, but not even showing them all reuniting is so sick

i understand the sweetness behind mikasa being the one to help eren forget abt the stress he has, but i think it’s more powerful that armin has always been someone to not help him forget but to support him through every hardship he encounters. aot is a series abt how eren took extremely drastic measures to achieve freedom for his friends and his people, he literally committed genocide, he needs someone blunt to tell him that the decision he made was utterly stupid, that although he did it for a greater cause he still did an act that’s truly unforgivable. armin was the only one who could truly resonate with eren in that aspect, the only one who could “forgive” him because eren did it all so that armin could achieve his dream after his had already shattered.

i understand that eren confessing that he didn’t want mikasa to end up with anyone else was meant to be used as a double kill if he likes mikasa and that he’s very vulnerable, but i just feel like it was very forced. armin using it to get eren to let out his true emotions made no sense to me like armin has never used mikasa to stir eren so i find it crazy that he’s use it the final time he’d ever speak to him

and yeah those are most of my opinions, you don’t have to agree with them or are they supposed to be taken as a fact because they’re not!

[olympushit]

I think the reason why Ares x Aphrodite is portrayed not a healthy couple in modern media bec they dont have a lot of myths together??? They only myth they have is that golden net incident. And Aphrodite curse Eos for sleeping with Ares. And also where Ares turn into a boar and kill Adonis bec he is jealous (there are other version who kill Adonis, the other version is either Artemis or Apollo who kill adonis, or its just an ordinary boar who kill him). Or maybe they just assume since Ares is war so hes bad and mistreat Aphrodite 🫤 ...

Or I can be wrong do you know if they have other myths together aside from the one I mentioned above?? (I'm so sorry English is not my first language, I hope you understand what I mean).

I don't mind people who prefer Hephaestus x Aphrodite but I wish Hephaestus marriage with Aglaia - his 2nd wife - is more popular ☹️ Hephaestus is so much more happier with her and and they have 4 daughters. They are also one of my favorite greek myth couples together with Ares x Aphrodite and Dionysus x Aridane.

I like this approach!

Personally I thought that this toxicity was derived from the diversity of their natures. Most people don't think that Love and War can coexist in harmony, so they portray this couple in a bad light.

Afther reading your question I straightly went to look for other possible myths around these two, and to be honest I didn't find anything specific. I searched on theoi.com and I didn't land on anything different rather than those myths you referred above.

You made me question myself soldier🤭

But still, I disagree with the way both of them are depicted in modern tellings.

Hephaestus and Aglaia are soulmates! I believe that Aphrodite wasn't for him, she was more dedicated to Ares. But still, both Hephaestus and Aphrodite found happiness in the end.

Dionysus and Ariadne... What can I say? He took her under his protection after Theseus abandoned her. But still it was a trickery ever since Dionysus threatened Theseus to leave her, but imagine how much he wanted her if he did something like that☺️

Thanks for the question amd sorry for the late reply! 😅🤗

One Piece manga spoilers

Every romance stands up a chance //thoughts//

At this point, so close to chapter 1100 (omg), I think there are, clearly, things that can be extracted from the global image that the story and its characters give away.

In the case of Sanji's character, anyone who has kept up with the manga can easily tell that, for whatever the reason is, his role is significantly linked to Nami, and it revolves specially around her.

When it comes to Nami, Sanji is a dog with a bone. She's always his first thought, his first option when it comes to women and romance. He refuses to give up on her, and all his advances will go (mainly) to her.

"Rejection" from Nami doesn't com from despise or exhaustion. It comes with distance.

In fact, to this day, advances and attempts from the sort, when they are not made on Nami but on other women, are still softly declined or ignored.

Still, partially because of the lack of self-confidence, I doubt he genuinely believes that there's really a chance for him.

But partially, too, because none of them takes him seriously. And that comes with the joke: Sanji is the only character interested in women and romance in the crew. Probably the one who has more chances to end up paired EOS. Still, he doesn't get any woman.

It is no surprise that women can't take him seriously, as most of the time he's simping and longing for women/romance, and he barely ever tries to flirt expecting to succeed (as opposed to his initial character description he is no ladykiller (lol), in fact, it really surprises me that cover 1089 has him asking Nami almost directly to go on a date with him, something he has never done before with her or any other woman).

So to understand Sanji's issue with women as a recurrent joke on the manga (not getting any of them as much as he wishes he would), you have to appreciate as well the fact that he, actually, gets them when he is not trying so hard, when he is basically himself, the kind, pure and selfless version of him.

In summary, having Nami in the 1089 cover decline Sanji's invitation is in character and makes sense for both characters. It has no greater meaning. If we ever see something from Nami's part, it is going to go unnoticed to Sanji when he is not trying at all.

But back to the present and regarding chapter 1089, it is worth noticing too that at the end of the chapter Sanji is approaching Nami with his "hearty-eyes" despite Bonney being there too.

Since the Egghead arc began, Sanji's role has almost exclusively orbited around Nami and Oda has worked, from the beginning, to build a common thread between him and Nami, since the first scene of the Mugiwaras facing the Seraphim has Sanji fighting back the S-shark to save Nami and that was, too, the last scene we saw of him, repeating the first scene. I deduce that Oda has bothered to do so surely because it serves a purpose we haven't seen yet.

Last but not least, Oda loves making recurrent jokes and gags with Sanji; be it his bounty posters, and eventually Duval, him meeting for the first time a real mermaid, Kokoro, Hiyori and Hacock being all lovey-dovey with Zoro and Luffy respectively, and finally when the latest bounties came out and he was replaced by Jinbe in the third position with the highest bounty of the crew (implying too his legitimate position in the Monster Trio).

But we all know that Sanji is in the Monster Trio, and that eventually he's going to get back the third highest bounty. And as much as the gag of him with women can go on, eventually things are going to fall into place and Sanji will get his happy ending EOS.

i know you aren’t a hater and you’ll probably not post it but I wish you will so I can feel seen because I am bursting with so many emotions and no one in my real life would get it. if it’s true that tae is dating that girl, i’mma let hate paralyse my mind. I swear there’s no coming back from this. I mean y’all telling me jimin being hated, slut shamed, defamed, threatened and sabotaged was all for nothing. I’m trying hard to ignore both jk and tae in this mess but y’all are telling they sat there and let your so called friend be dragged for years. There’s no way bighit don’t know about this.

This isn’t even about jikook because deep down I know it’s jimin over anyone else. I will cry for real so I’m hoping it’s not true. After all the mess jimin has gone through, the least taekook should have done is to at least kiss so as to justify all these hate. I know this is a jikook blog but I follow you because I’m curious about him and I am ready to support him in anything. But truly I am sad. I always thought if any of vminkook announce their relationship I will be relieved because jm will be free but today I realize that it’s the opposite. I am angry, I am sad and I feel so hurt on behalf of jimin. All those dc inside, YouTube hate video, death threats, report for jm. I’m going to sort out my feelings for taekook because deep down I don’t hate them… never😭😭

Anon. It's hard to be a PJM in 2023 so I understand. Trust me, I get it. I love this man an unhealthy amount. I see why you're getting affected by the Jimin hate. But here is the thing that I need u to think about before you take the anti route.

Here are the most recent Vmin hugs we have.

This was not part of the choreo

I mean look at Jimin's face

And the very most recent ot7 content. Again look at this hug. Look at V's face.

What I'm I saying? I think these motherfuckers love each other. That's what I think. I think V loves Jimin and Jimin loves V. Do I think they are as close as they used to be? No. But do they still love eo? Absolutely.

3 things 1) An anon made a point that I've been thinking about. The Tannies probably don't see what happens on I-twitter. They probably have their twitter curated and only shows what Karmy are saying. And Karmy are not the ones hating on Jimin. So for all we know V might be missing all this fuckery. I really don't see him seeing the pigmin and bangmin stuff and him being okay with that.

2) Jimin is no push over. Never has been. If V was being a dick to him or if Jimin had issues with V, he would have cut him out of his life. I honestly believe that.

3) Jeon Jungkook would never in a million years hurt Jimin on purpose or let someone else hurt Jimin. Ever. Like that's a thing that will never fucking happen. It doesn't matter who it is. This man defends Jimin even when his man doesn't need defending. Jimin can handle himself but when JK sees some fuckery going on he steps up. So aint no way he would be hanging out with V if the dude was being malicious.

I let u guys vent here and I hear and understand where you're coming from but my stand has always remained the same. As long as Jimin and Jungkook continue to love V, so will I. Clearly there is alot we don't know.

From the outside looking in, it looks bad but I really do think they're fine. If Jimin had an issue with what V was doing, not only would he shut it down, but so would JK.

I'll give you an example. JK came live and V told him to go to insta. A very awkward live happened but that's neither here nor there. What also happened was that live made noise even in the Karmy side. So this is what happened.

Tkk live ---- Jimin comes live for the shortest live he had ever done at that time. And he was busy. But for some reason he still stopped by. It seemed like it could have waited till he finished work---- V shares a Jikook photo for Jhope's birthday.

I think these 3 things are related. I think someone wasn't happy about the tkk live and that was V making it up to him.

I, think if Jimin has an issue he lets it known and handles it.

Jimin is not weak, anon. Jimin is quite strong. Stronger than people give him credit for. I guarantee if V was an issue he would have handled him by now. For all we know the dumpling incident got physical and u know Jimin won that fight.

So, its important to pause. Breathe. Its okay. Everything is okay. I'm about to say something extremely blunt now. Anon, it helps no one when u get affected mentally by Jimin hate. He doesn't know u and he will never hear about it if something happens to you. He and his millions will be perfectly fine. You gotta look after yourself first. Alright?

Love Shazy,

[starsreminisce]

Sauuuuur I finished EoS

Yeah, there's no way Az is even Elain's 'true' mate. Not even close. And it further cements to me that Lucien is her true mate.

There's no sign of mate behavior between Elain and Azriel while everything Rowan did and is, Lucien has a parallels.

Adding Elain's perspective to the mix, it's akin to Aelin not wanting to be around him. They both share the common thread of a deceased loved one, taken at the hands of someone who sought control over them, all while believing they were destined mates.

In the beginning, Azriel comes across as the type of cashier who flashes a charming smile and engages in a bit of light flirting with customers as he rings up their purchases, but that's about the extent of it. It's possible that his tendency to go above and beyond in his rescue missions stems from his less-than-stellar skills as a spy.

Firstly, Azriel didn't even make an effort to fight for her or defend himself against Rhys, whereas Lucien demonstrated his unwavering determination by confronting the King of Hybern and two of the most powerful High Lords to reunite with his mate.

When Elain was sent toward the cauldron, Azriel barely spared her a glance, in stark contrast to Lucien, who had to be restrained. Lucien put himself in jeopardy, risking the exposure of his powers as he cleanly broke free, all to lift Elain from the floor. Azriel, on the other hand, seemed remarkably composed during the rescue, while Lucien's furious roars echoed when she was taken, and he immediately began devising his plans once Feyre returned. Even Feyre recognized the futility of attempting to reason with him.

That should have been the first clue.

Secondly, he wouldn't even train her on anything. He literally said, 'she's a seer!' and then just did his job, knowing the right questions to ask because he's an interrogator, and then nothing.

He didn't even teach her how to hold Truth Teller when he gave it to her. He said she shouldn't go after the trove, even though she wanted to.

But the one clear vision Elain had, guess who volunteered, no questions asked, despite knowing the risks and succeeded.

In contrast, Cassian didn't want Nesta to search for it but insisted on helping her, even when he didn't like it.

Lastly, despite his supposed inability to stay away from her, he manages to do so quite effectively. He appeared more inclined to avoid the task of carrying Lucien to the House of Wind than to visit Elain. In stark contrast, Cassian made it a daily priority to see Nesta.

During Solstice, after Rhys instructed him to leave, Azriel didn't even attempt to locate Elain to offer a proper apology or explanation. Instead, he simply lingered outside for a brief moment and then departed.

To who? To Gwyn and he stayed there until he left laughing from what she said.

In contrast, Lucien chose to stand by the doorway when Feyre first visited Elain, overheard their conversation, and decided to keep his distance, understanding that it was precisely what she needed from him.

Elain sought Lucien out too. In ACOWAR, there is still a level of attraction she had for him.

Cassian is not a himbo by any means. He noticed Lucien looking at Elain in a way that broke his heart but 'tucked away his puzzlement' when Azriel gave a small smile to Elain.

Let's not forget that Azriel even said he had been right to stay away. Lucien stays away because that's what Elain wants him to do.

Like, I don't even think your MMC even wants to be with her.

[denial-permanente]

Hi,

First of all, I want to thank you and Tom for the interesting real life chastity blog.

Different than many other blogs that are based on men’s chastity fantasies. This doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying them 😊.

We are a couple in our mid 50’s and this year we are happily married for 35 years. We are young at mind and fully enjoy life as it is supposed to be.

Since my childhood I have affection for bondage and other kinky stuff in contrary of my wife.

However, she knows my kinks and all those years she does efforts to understand this and she helps me out to fore fill my needs.

In the mid 90’s we watched on national a TV show regarding special fetish and taboos. There was an interview with Mr Walter Goethals of Carrara design experimenting with male chastity devices.

At that moment I also knew that chastity was something for me.

With internet more information on male chastity became available. When the CB6000 came out I purchased one and started to experiment with It. Sometimes I was locked for 3 weeks. However, the plastic case in 2 longitude parts gave me painful issues.

To make a longs story short, over several years we ordered several chastity cages and finally I have this cheap metal case from Alibaba that works fine, together with an anti-pull-out ring.

Our sex life is/was always good and I liked to experiment with new techniques to please my wife. Already since more than 30 years I don’t cum if my wife doesn’t cum first.

Since my wife likes penetration and likes to give me HJ and BJ, it was not always easy for her when I was locked. Sometimes she taught I didn’t like her or that I wasn’t happy with her performances. So we talked many times on the subject and the last 4 years she locked me for 2-3 weeks with some long term intervals. But as you mention in your blog, once you tried chastity, it stays in the mind and you want to go back being locked.

Since last year both our children are out house, and so we have more time for us.

Last January my wife had the NY party at work and I was alone at home. So I put myself in strict self-bondage with a sensory deprivation hood, chastity cage eo.

I texted my wife in advance not to be scared when she came home during the night. This was not the first time I did that, but she is always afraid that an accident would happen.

That night she came home relaxed, reacted positive and again understood my needs. We made love and she came from orally, and I didn’t cum😊.

From that night I’m locked up day and night.

However, she decided to unlock me twice to make love. I stayed unlocked during the night what result in a good night sleep (*).

My wife holds the key, and the spare key is in a sealed envelope in case of emergency.

Now since last week I found your Tumblr blog and I love it. Both the point of view from you both. I couldn’t agree more.

Furthermore, it helped me to introduce my wife to keep me locked longer then before and if she agrees permanently.

Since my wife doesn’t really like to go on Tumblr, I copy-paste your Q&A in a word document so my wife could read about your lifestyle as a chastity couple and the advantage of it if we/she implemented in our marriage.

It is now 27 days that I’m locked and, I hope that it is the first 27 days of a permanent chastity, fully managed by my wife.

In the meantime, I ordered a Vixskin and harness together with a t° regulated water heater. 😊

If my wife can enjoy the Vixskin we can go for the Vixskin-X, but this is not yet available in the EU. If I order it from the US with tax and import duty this become +/- 500$

This all said I have a question for you both, but particularly for Tom.

During the day I have no issues wearing the cage, but during the night it is sometimes terrible when I get an erection, which is normal. This always result in stretching the skin below my cage ring and makes me wake up several times during the night.

Before I go to sleep, I always use anti chafe cream to allow movement for the skin in the cage, but still.

When I wake up, I can concentrate to make him soft again.

The problem is that I don’t have a good night sleep with negative results during daytime.

Any idea how I can get over this issue?

Tank you and keep up the good work.

Regards

B

Wow, there is a lot to comment on here. 😅

First I am glad that you and your wife really talk about this. Too many times we get questions or messages from men who just push this on their wives and the wife has no idea what to do with all of this. But it seems that you and your wife talk about this.

I hope that you talked to her about using the Vixskin before you ordered it. I am pretty sure there are stores over there where you can get it cheaper than ordering from the US. I'll let my husband answer the rest of this. 🔐

~

Tom here. My wife is correct; lovehoney.co.uk sells Vixskin products (and other nice items. I've been there and am happy to give a shout out).

Unfortunately, the only thing that will help you adapt to wearing the cage is to keep wearing the cage. It may take a couple of months wearing it overnight to allow your body to get used to those erections in the middle of the night.

Make sure that you use good lube around the cuff ring to keep your skin from "burning" (it's really stretching). Also, I do not know what cage you have, but one that is smaller inside, that is, a more narrow diameter, will prevent your penis from expanding. That will help.

Note that I am not recommending those nub cages. You may have to try several different designs to find one that is comfortable for you.

KH OC Week Day 2

Little late in the day, but better late than never? Anyway, on to Day 2! Day 2: New World ◾What would it be like if your OC visited a world they'd never seen before? As I did for Day 1, today I'll have short bit about both Velcia (KHx-Era) and her eventual descendant, Velcia ("Modern" KH Era).

KHx-Era Velcia:

For the KHx-Era Velcia, the experience of truly visiting a new world is rather more muddied. Daybreak Town is not her true homeworld, and although she does not remember much aside from fleeting memories of her true home she is never able to to really shake the fact that she isn’t quite in the right place. Further complicating her perspective is the fact that, as a Wielder of Daybreak Town, she has visited many of The Master of Master’s Projected Worlds created by the Book of Prophecies. While she still finds each new world to be incredible in its own right, it isn’t until she finally ends up in the true world of Olympus that she learns how much more satisfying the real thing can be. And so, in the end, her reaction to visiting an entirely new world really changes depending on where she is in her life. Prior to the Keyblade War, any new world would be met with the same drive and determination to learn and document everything she can. She is driven to see things, draw them, to learn more or less how it is and how it works, before bustling off to take one more little nibble off the plate of infinity that is the unknown.

After the Keyblade War, after the horrors and dust have settled and she’s begun to adjust to life in her new world, however, little Velcia’s frenetic nature would come to focus into something more personal and passionate. Though she’s unlikely to ever become a people-person, her relationships with the people she sees and the world around her would grow to have a much slower pace and a deeper appreciation. If she were to visit a new world at this point, her countless stacks of pages covering a large range of topics would be replaced with more neat and organized subjects of considerably greater depth, and her focus would be to learn and find the heart of what makes each place uniquely special.

KHII-Era Velcia:

The first new world Velcia gets to visit and really truly explore is Eos. Coming from Olympus, a world with nearly no technology, she finds herself constantly impressed and amazed by the marvelous machines and society that they have built. Despite this, she finds herself more engrossed in learning as much as she can about the properties of magic on this world and devotes much of her time to learning the fundamental construction of several Lucian Spells - even on other worlds, her thirst for knowledge and love of learning are hard to set aside. The first several New Worlds she visits are during her travels with Hinata. Velcia grew up hearing quite a bit about the “World Order” (Or at least, an approximation thereof), but her understanding of this is put into a bit of a conflict by the requirements of their mission. Velcia does her best to respect each world, though ultimately tries to defer to the decisions made by DiZ or Hinata in most cases.

Having very highly attuned magic senses, Velcia comes to find that the way she remembers each world best is by the unique sorts of magic each world is imbued with - much like some may remember a location, food, or event by the smell, sounds, or flavors. The base magical elements of each world are similar, but the way these elements are used by the locals is seldom the same from one world to the next; and learning about these is generally her favorite part.

Being a potion-maker by trade, she also finds herself very interested in each world’s local plant life and other sorts of materials that are naturally saturated with magic properties, or those that can be imbued easily with it. It takes some time for the notion to come to her, but she does eventually start trying to collect especially interesting or unique plants or seeds from worlds when she finds she has the time or opportunity. Someone, someday, is going to need to have a discussion with Velcia to teach what an ‘invasive species’ is. Also, I have this picture from a few years back of this Velcia wearing the outfit she got when she traveled to Eos for the first time. This picture was commissioned for me as a present, and was created by an artist called Benvey.

That's it for me for Day 2! Thanks again for stopping by, and thanks to everyone else participating in KH OC Week - it's been so fun to see everyone's stuff and be a part of it after all this time. :D

(Espero que se me sea entendible)

Que opinión tienes de que Eo haya dicho:

"because it's the only time you'll spend with me."

En vez de:

"because it's the only time I'll spend with you

Te entiendo sì :) Sorry my Spanish isn't good enough for a complete answer but I do understand it well enough.

So the reason why Eo says "It's the only time YOU will spend with me", and not "the only time I will spend with you", is because he does spend a lot of time with Barry even if Barry is normally not aware of it.

Eo follows him around, spies on him, literally stalks him day and night and keeps him under control, he does spend a lot of time with him. It doesn't work the other way around though! Barry doesn't know Eo is there (and even when he suspects it, they don't really interact), so he doesn't in fact spend time with Eobard in return. It's a one way thing in which Eobard watches and looks and observes but never acts, like when he came back from the however many years he was tortured in prison and started just following Barry around, watching him without ever interacting (Eo was being ridiculously shy about it, and the funny thing is that at that point, Barry would have likely been happy to see him and greeted him like an old friend).

Conversely, when Eobard is actively making his life impossible, Barry is forced to react to the things he's put through, therefore he will "spend time with him".

See, Eo has this distorted view of relationships in which spending time with a loved one means that the ONLY WAY he has to be noticed and get the other person to give him attention, is through breaking things. As a child he was ignored by his parents who locked him in a playpen and never even turned towards him, and the only way he had to get them to pay attention to him was to break expensive toys. That would get his father to finally notice his existence and beat him up, which hey, I'm sure it won't traumatize a small child at all!

If you can go past the terrible art, this is what his life has been like for a good chunk of his childhood (then his parents genetically engineered another child and forced him to be his little brother's primary caretaker, while continuing to treat him like garbage).

And sure, now Eobard isn't a child anymore, but the 25th century is a bleak place and beside for the Flash comics he found refuge and comfort in, he didn't have any other guardian figure (or any friend really) who taught him how love even looks like. So, when Barry loses his entire shit in Running Scared, absorbs the Negative Speedforce and beats the everliving hell out of him, from Eobard's perspective he's still giving him attention! It worked, he broke "enough toys" to get Barry to spend time with him! ... In the sense that he was a menace for long enough and threatened Iris enough times, and it's interesting to me how in Running Scared he is so disoriented and so overpowered that he could do 200% more damage, but truly his only goal is getting Barry to spend time with him therefore he keeps said damage to a minimum.

He could have killed Ace, but he just tossed him around a bit. He could have killed Iris, and he barely even touched a hair on her head. He brought her to the 25th century after realizing that she didn't remember barely anything about him (unacceptable! One of the most important people in his life forgot shit about him!!), but beside scaring her, the whole RS arc ends with Iris sporting not even a bruise. The entirety of Running Scared could be summarized with "local time traveler gets brought back to life by his crush, is disoriented as fuck and in his need for attention makes a mess and gets himself killed again (by his other crush)". And in my strictly personal opinion, the reason why his antics look especially childish in Running Scared also comes from the fact that he's indeed extremely disoriented, both by the whole flashpoint paradox situation (he can't forget anything while everyone else has altered memories!), and by the fact that he literally just died and came back to life. Imagine the headache.

How do they express their jealousy?

I'm assuming this is from the perspective of how they'd express jealousy regarding a partner/companion e.g. someone was flirting with them in front of the interests etc.

If I'm wrong I'm sorry 😅🙏

Athy - She's a little odd in that she has definitely been jealous before, but she doesn't... understand that's what it is? So she doesn't really express it? She's just kind of like, 'huh... that feels uncomfy... I should go read to distract myself until I feel normal again'. Reading is how Athy processes 99% of her emotions, the other 1% is letting off steam through fighting--

Cai - They are far too secure in themself to feel jealous, it would be super difficult to make them jealous and if you tried they'd either think it was cute, or if you went too far they'd just cut you off, because they expect a certain level of loyalty. They do like making others jealous though--

Helios - He always looks very stern and icy, but when he gets jealous, it somehow becomes even more so, as he will try to hide it, especially in public because he doesn't want to break social rules and ettiquette... but if he is pushed too far, then he will intervene and make it very clear, in no uncertain terms, to whoever is pushing their luck, that they should probably leave before he makes them leave... through the window /hj, and then he takes his partner away, ignoring the inevitable gossip that surrounds him from such a declaration.

Il - Hahaha... haha... ha... 😰 he's gonna bottle that up inside so that you can never tell anything is wrong, as he subtly and smoothly removes you from the situation/away from the person in question, until he can go off and... 'handle' the cause for his jealousy later without you ever knowing. Though, the one change you might notice is him showering you with even more love than usual, and whispers of how you're his. 😌

Jed - He is oddly possessive of those who he considers 'his', and it's been a while since he's had anyone that fit that spot in that void where his heart should be. When he gets jealous he kind of goes from 0 to 100 real quick, there's that moment when his ever present toothy smile just... drops. He handles it about as well as you'd expect a serial killing monster to handle jealousy tbh. Which is not well. At least for the person flirting with his partner that is. Once he'd handled them, full of adrenaline and bloodthirst, he'd whisk his partner away to remind them exactly who and what they are with.

Farren - Judy is gonna hit you with a frying pan-- /silly. She stews, you'd be able to tell she was annoyed, but she wouldn't verbally express it for a while, but you'd be able to tell on her face she wasn't happy. Once she has processed and felt her emotions she would sit her partner down and have a super mature conversation about boundaries and how you both can handle these situations going forward in a healthy manner.

Eos - Someone is getting punched. When I say someone it'll be the person flirting with their partner. It's almost funny because they insist they never get jealous, but they are a very emotionally reactive, and are likely to react first think after. The only situation where it might be different is if their partner was deliberately trying to make them jealous and was the one doing all the flirting, they'd still be annoyed, but they would at worst threaten the other person and make it clear that their partner is taken.

Noah - If someone was flirting with his partner and they didn't seem into it, or seemed uncomfortable, he would be right in there to help them, and with the sweetest smile he'd get the other person to leave. Kill em with kindness kind of thing. If his partner was flirting back, or the one flirting, he wouldn't do anything, he'd just bottle up his feelings and put them in the same place as his self-doubt and his feelings of guilt, and he'd brace himself for his partner to say they chose someone better than him. (He needs a hug... and probably therapy, but let's start with a hug--)

Thank you for the question! ☺️🦋

I love that he's her first love and I also screamed when she said she'll come pick him up as an angel meaning she's the person who loves him the most. She really does love him very much but I think her upbringing has left her so foreign to what an actual loving relationship between two people is, HW is her family and all her family does us treat eo like sh*t, so what if they do the same to him? What if she does the same to him? He's her family and they'll always be together. She knows that's not how relationships work she knows that she treated him badly because how could she not? She just thinks it's normal but she's a grown woman and needs to reflect on her actions and understand that his wanting a divorce with how he was treated is valid, he's already apologized multiple times for multiple things but we've never heard her say I'm sorry and I'm hoping that's deliberate on the writer's part and we actually get to see HW express his emotions regarding the abuse her family has put him through and even how coldly she acted and for her to take responsibility for her part in all of it.

I don't believe Hae In has a lack of accountability for her role in everything. Hae In should apologize for her role in things. She's already started to make amends and I think she will get there.

Yes, for sure her family has warped her idea of relationship. But I think some part of her understands that it's not normal. Before Hae In and Hyun Woo's relationship fell apart, it seemed fairly healthy though there was still a lack of communication.

They treated each other poorly, and my suspicion is that Hae In has actually protected Hyun Woo from the absolute worst of her family's treatmetn. I could be wrong on that, but it's my feeling. Keep in mind, the psycho squad has pointed out that Hae In always listens to Hyun Woo. It's clear she values his judgement regardless of the distance between them.

Their problems have really always stemmed from a lack of communication and not understanding what the other needs in terms of love. Hae In dropping her walls, and Hyun Woo really listening to her and BOTH of them telling the other how they feel has already started to change their relationship. We've seen that unbeknownst to the other they have supported one another.

I know Hae In is surprised by the divorce papers. But we really haven't seen the fallout from it yet. Personally, I don't think it will be as big a deal as they are making it out to be but again. She might need time to assess, given all the emotional turmoil she's in.

Both of them are at fault for their marriage breaking down. Both of them need to take responsibility and admit their part. While Hyun Woo has apologized, but not really for his actions that contributed to their breakdown (as far as I remember).

okay bestie, thoughts on tonight's episode, please?? i need your insight because you always have the best.

I love this so much actually, I think it's exactly what was needed at this time, and I'm impressed tbh with both the nuance of her stance and the clarity of it.

Olivia said he was her home. Olivia pointed out she didn't have a claim to him back then as if this was something she had to remind herself of often. Olivia says he's someone else's husband with a profound sort of presentism, as if his marriage is still ongoing even tho Kathy has been gone for a while now. Olivia said, out loud, that it's all possibility with Elliot and that the possibility is paralyzing.

Other people have said this more eloquently than me but what this does is it takes all of our interpreting of Olivia's behavior, all of our reading between the lines, all of our frustrated certainty that EO had something between them in 1.0, and it puts those words in Olivia's mouth. Olivia has confirmed, out loud, that this man was her home. We knew that, but to hear her say it is to take a great big step forward.

Now. I know someone else came in my inbox and asked about "he was my home but he left" and I know the antis are salivating over it, but I love that bc that is the complex, messy place where human emotion lives. He was her home and then he took that away and it's been ten years so of course he isn't still her home now, of course she hurts, of course she is afraid. That doesn't mean she doesn't want him to be. You can hear the longing in her voice, even when she says she's hurt. He was her home. He isn't now bc she had to learn to live without him. He could be, again. She wants him to be.

And that is the place where real love, not the stuff of romance novels and movies but real human love, lives. It lives in human, complicated people who are not perfect in the ways they treat each other every minute of every day, who sometimes say cruel things or make decisions that hurt others. If you love anyone, deeply, for more than a week, at some point one or the other of you is going to be hurt or upset or offended or frustrated; that's human. Love is what brings us to forgive one another our human failings. Love is what teaches us to apologize, and try to be better. Love is what shows how to give grace to one another. We love one another through difficult times, we love one another through our mistakes. We love each other, when we succeed and when we fail. We love each other, even tho we are not perfect, because we are not perfect.

And while Olivia was hurt by Elliot leaving she also understands she had no claim to him. She said that. It hurt her, but no matter what he chose someone would've been hurt and he was someone else's husband. He had to choose his family. Olivia is a grown-up. She has a son. She understands her heart was not the only one involved in this mess, she understands everything doesn't revolve around just her needs. She knows he did what he was always gonna have to do. What she needs now is to see him choose her, to come and stay and make her believe he will never leave again. And I think he will.

I'm especially moved by the end of the convo and the end of the episode. This whole episode has an undercurrent about how Olivia struggles with change, struggles to adjust, is constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, in all areas of her life. Olivia tells Amanda the possibility is paralyzing bc it is; it would be easier if Kathy was still alive bc then nothing would change and she wouldn't have to take a risk. Things are changing, now.

She wants Elliot. You can see it in her face, hear it in her voice, her yearning affect; she has always wanted Elliot. But if she reaches for him there is a risk she loses him. It would be easier, to stay where she is. It would be safer. But would it bring her joy?

Despite Olivia trying to hold to her life exactly the way it is things are changing, no matter what she does. Amanda's departure reinforces that. And if life is going to change no matter what, wouldn't it be better for her to take charge of it? She will lose Elliot if she doesn't reach for him, they will pull away from each other and drift apart and she will never have their previous level of friendship or a romance. She has to move.

She told Amanda not to postpone joy. I think she will, at some point, take her own advice.

Something is coming fam I believe it

A dissertation on Forcebook (Advantages of Tumblr... I can write a lot 🤣)

I'm a recent forcebook fan. Stumbled upon some tiktoks of them and got curious. Their banter reminded me of taynew in a way but with an even easier connection (understandable given how long they've known eo as later I found out).

Saw a boss and a babe. I had read about the show but hated the name, so give it a pass. Dumb decision. It's a good show, that makes sure to include some important messages (marriage equality, some BL viewers hipocrisy, gay acceptance) which personally I love. They acted well and have good chemistry.

I read bad reviews on Enchante but also watched it. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Theo doesn't come off of it looking nice but at the same time he never expected the whole charade to become such a huge mess. So I get his character was unlikable for some and made the story unloved. However, I repeat the hate is not deserved.

Also watched their real show. It's sooo good. They bounce off each other really well and are super funny. They know how to host and entertain the viewers.

Overall, their work is good and improving. I'm looking forward to only friends. If I have any complaint it would be the kisses on Enchante were better than ABAAB. Still all good and I'd never manage to kiss a best friend like that any way.

Now... I see a lot of hate or disregard towards them that I feel is undeserved. First of all, they don't look a like. How can people mistake them is beyond me. Book has a lighter skin and bigger eyes, Forces eyes are smaller and his skin tanner. This even during Enchante. Now, Force clearly has a bigger build and Book is leaner.

I feel a lot of BL fans prefer the stereotype of one taller than the other or bigger (enter the top /bottom discourse). True that they are almost the same height and Force only recently got buffer. There's a lot of prejudice and stereotype even (or especially) among BL watchers...

Read some say "oh they were bad actors" but they adore other actors that besides visuals can't act to save their lives. In any case they've been growing as actors.

They're also apparently genuinely nice guys and I love how politically active Book gets and Force supports. Also both speaking up for marriage equality and pride month. A lot of BL actors (even big ones) do zero for the community, just using BL as a stepping stone to move to regular dramas but everyone turns a blind eye to that.

So I'm hoping their Fandom grows but remains non toxic and respectful. The odds aren't in their favor for all the reasons above but it's going well I think.

I have some thoughts on your post of aye being out-of-character. Tbh, while it was airing, i thought the same. OS2 Aye didn't feel like eclipse Aye. Where's the understanding, where's the "putting akk before himself", where is the aye that gave akk enough space to come to terms with his sexuality and loved him and held him throughout that journey? I was quite dissapointed when the first ep aired because eclipse was such a dear show to me. But then, a while later, I remember reading someone's take on ourskyy2!Aye. They said that aye didn't really change. He has always been a gremline to akk since the eclipse. And he still is. And akk has always been pouty and sensitive, just hid it well. Akk and aye have always had communication issues and that was one of their biggest and most prominent differences. They still do have similar communications issues in ourskyy2. We see a difference in the eclipse and ourskyy2 because (my take) during the course of events in the eclipse, aye had some kind of understanding of akk's situation thus it was easier to be so understanding and give him the space he needed. Boyfriends is new territory for the both of them and obviously they're going take some time to adjust and understand eo through the change. But because they are akkayan, because they care about each other enough to put the other before themselves, because they love each other, they will find their way out of this; as they always have. They are still the same akk and aye. Just the grounds of their relationship has changed. That's all.

I've not been as articulate as I would like to be so a lost might've gotten missed. This is not to say your thoughts were wrong. I truly have not seen a single person who's understood these characters more. I love reading your work because it genuinely feels like something the character would actually do. I just hope to provide a different perspective and would love to hear your thoughts 😙

Oh, I totally agree that Aye has always been a gremlin and will always be a gremlin. That’s his personality. He’s annoying—god bless him for it. The issue is that we know for a fact this wasn’t just a communication break-down because Akk is very upfront about how Aye’s actions are making him feel. He explicitly admits his concerns to Aye—what you’re doing makes me feel like you don’t love me—and Aye chooses to ignore him, which is not something canon Aye would ever do. Aye has always been pushy and annoying, but he has never been cruel.

I do agree, though, that it will take them some time to figure out how to be boyfriends outside of the oppressive walls of Suppalo and that could certainly lead to arguments and misunderstandings. I just don’t think that was the case in Our Skyy. Aye knew what he was doing was hurting Akk and yet he did it anyway and I just can’t believe that canon Aye, who cried every single time Akk did, would continue such a ruse when it was causing his partner pain.

I think the reason this whole plot irks me so much is that it was such an easy fix. Instead of making Aye pretend that he forgot Akk’s birthday entirely, simply make him pretend that he had other plans and couldn’t spend the day with him. Then Akk would be sad and disappointed, but he wouldn’t be distraught.

I just…imagine the person you love most in the world and then imagine them forgetting your birthday. I personally don’t think the surprise makes up for the pain and I think that years later, what I would remember most would be the disappointment. But maybe Akk is different.

Regardless, I appreciate your input! Like I said in my last ask, people are meant to interpret media in different ways and I’m a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as they aren’t being mean to others about it. Our Skyy 2 just didn’t hit right for me, but I still enjoyed seeing Akk and Aye together again. I’m certainly not complaining about what we got because there were some absolutely fantastic moments that I think about still. I just personally prefer to look at it as The Eclipse fanfiction rather than something that is a part of canon.

Found it!

This was from last year’s AU!April and I haven’t archived it on Ao3 because it is really just a scene. But yeah, this is what happened when I attempted to cross Thunderbirds Are Go with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast :D

::insert insanity emojis here::

-o-o-o-

Virgil stared at the flower that held them all captive.

John had been trying for years to break its spell, determined that magic was not a thing, despite the proof that was their lives.

A single white daisy held in stasis, placed there by that same brother as their eldest was held back, prevented from stopping the scientist by brute force.

Scott still hadn’t forgiven Virgil for his intervention.

He rolled his shoulders, the handsewn flannel stretching and tearing yet again at the movement.

Thank god they had a set of china who could weave cloth almost out of nothing.

Who was he kidding? Coffee mugs didn’t usually knit.

Or dance.

The singing was very irritating first thing in the morning.

Fabric out of nothing was easier to believe than a coffee mug that monitored his caffeine intake and complained when his moustache needed trimming.

While he drank coffee that also appeared out of nothing.

The daisy sparkled.

Daisies were his mother’s favourite flower and that bastard knew it…somehow.

First he killed their mother and then he whisked their father away to who knew where and locked the rest of them down with this damned spell.

Virgil’s lip curled. Strand five men on an island, trap them there until they find true love…thousands of miles from any other land, much less another human being.

Gordy had already fallen in love with the ocean, three fish, several octopuses, and even a dolphin, a fellow mammal that was caught up in the caldera once.

Hadn’t done a thing.

Gordon claimed that they all needed to fall in love and that the rest of them were spoiling it.

Lightning had struck Tracy Peak moments after Gordon’s declaration and Scott had stalked off, the ever-present storm in his expression.

Virgil’s jaw ached.

Since the shirt was trashed anyway, he flexed both shoulders and stretched out his arms. He itched to move. Flannel shredded and jet-black fur sprung out through the seams.

Damn.

He shouldn’t care, but he did.

Maybe that was because…five, four, three, two, one…

“Again? You need to be more careful, really, sir.” The green metal mechanic’s cart zipped down the hallway towards him, tools clanking inside it. Did she have radar? Probably.

“I’m fine, Two.”

“I doubt Eos would agree.” Her handles patted him down to make sure because apparently Virgil’s word wasn’t enough. “That is the third shirt this week. Perhaps you should wear your uniform, the material withstands so much more…flexing.”

Virgil let the growl out between his fangs. “Two! I’m fine!”

Animated eyes darted between Virgil and the protected flower. “I can see that.” The words dripped sarcasm.

Seriously, there had been a time Virgil could have listened to his ‘bird all day. She wouldn’t have to say a word and he would understand everything.

But now…

The cart moved closer until a handle gently touched his waist. “It will happen one day, sir. We will see the sky again.”

Virgil swallowed. “Don’t call me ‘sir’.”

But his paw landed gently on the handle anyway.

Only to tremble as he was startled by the emergency alarm.

That hadn’t gone off in years.

Well, not since Alan tried to cheer them up that time.

It had backfired just like everything around here did.

“Sir! Sir! The alarm! We must respond!”

Before he could react, Two had knocked him off his feet and scooped his hairy ass into her tray.

“Two, goddamnit.”

“Responding, sir!”

She carted him all the way down to the lounge.

It was dark.

It was always dark. The caldera below was draped in fog and the only light was from the holoprojector in the centre of the room flashing the alarm signal.

As he stumbled to his feet, it lit up three other familiar and gargoyleish features. It was like a scene out of a black and white horror holo.

John appeared on the projection, his aquamarine eyes almost fevered. “We have a situation.”

“A what?!” Alan bounced like the golden marmoset he resembled.

Virgil’s snout twisted. At least one of them had a chance, in a cute, petsy kind of way.

John’s eyes flickered towards him. “Apparent shipwreck on the other side of Mateo.  Looks like five survivors, possibly in need of medical aid.”

Virgil frowned up at his brother. The man’s ginger fur was bristled like a toilet brush.

Their scientist brother had migrated towards the top of Tracy Peak some years ago, all of them helping to build him a station as close to the sky as they could get it.

They knew it would help their space brother at least a little. He couldn’t see the stars or the sky any more than they could, but he would have sensory line of sight to monitor everything on the Island.

It was better than nothing.

And it kept Scott and John apart. Probably the best thing for all of them.

But now…

“We have a rescue?” Gordon was dripping water on the hardwood floor again, his fur soaking wet. At least this time no one cared.

Scott’s spine was as straight as he could get it. His eyes latched onto John’s.

A breath sucked in through sharp teeth.

And released in an incredulous whisper…”Thunderbirds are go.”

-o-o-o-

TBC?
