everlasting vows
Faced by the question and decision of swearing their devotion and love to you, what do they do? A promise that will bind them to you for eternity... Are they willing to go to such lengths for you?
Characters: Everyone (with the exception of riquet and mitile)
Note: I tried making everyone cute to the best of my abilities but some kind of just... slipped. Happy June Bride!
Tumblr media
— Oz!
Oz pauses for a moment. He doesn't know what to say. He almost doesn't want to say anything in the moment after letting the thought sink into his mind. He was the most powerful wizard in the world—he already has enough weaknesses as it is with his injury and his love for Arthur but he already knew that you were one of them the moment he realised how helpless he was when it came to you. Asking him to promise you his unwavering loyalty and love was akin to making yourself a target for all his enemies to pounce on just to get a hold over him. He doesn't doubt his feelings for you. He knows that he'll be able to love you till the end of time and beyond but he wanted to make sure: are you certain? You kiss his doubts away gently and that's all he needed.
"Very well. If that is what you wish… I am yours for all eternity."
— Arthur!
He doesn't hesitate. Arthur treated you like his whole world; you were the most important thing to him and having him promise you such a thing brought him immense joy that it almost brings him to tears as he grasps your hands lovingly under the moonlight. He ran his thumb across the back of your palm gently and looked at you with a gaze so soft you could hardly believe that someone could love you this much. There was no one else present in this moment but you in his eyes as he lifted your hand and pressed his lips to your fingers.
"You don't need to ask. My heart has always been ready to love you forevermore."
— Cain!
He's surprised but his expression quickly broke into a huge smile. Sometimes, Cain acted as if he was human, forgetting that his words—his promises—held so much weight behind them. You thought this was one of those instances but Cain merely shook his head and gave you his reassurance. Human, wizard, unicorn, or whatever entity he might be—it doesn't matter to him. In every universe he's in with you, with every version of himself that might exist out there, he'll always take your hand and vow to you. Like a knight swearing that he's hopelessly devoted to you for life.
"I'll protect you. I promise this—I will never leave your side."
Tumblr media
— Snow!
He didn't think you were serious the first time you asked him. He was sure you were doing it in the spur of the moment and got carried away by shallow desires that brought sadness to him when all he felt was pure unaltered love and desire to be by your side. He loved you, yes, but if you were asking him with even just a little smidge of doubt—he'll turn you away. He wanted you to be certain. Snow always liked living in certainty; for things to remain constant once he's committed. He doesn't bode well with change and if there's just a small part of you that doubted him, he gets scared. He doesn't want things with you to end terribly. He already experienced far too much grief and pain that change brought to him.
"I'll wait for you. Be it a hundred years or another thousand—I want to see that your feelings for me will not change. But know that I hold you closer to my heart than anyone else… That is the reason why I want to be certain. I do not wish for an unhappy ending for both of us."
— White!
He's overjoyed but it was difficult to miss the hint of bitterness in his expression and tone when he replies to you. He wants to—so badly; so desperately to the point that he felt his heart ache despite being dead. He's driven by his emotions but the weight of reality is heavy on his shoulders and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He is not the same man he once was. He felt like he's merely a shadow of himself. A fragment of himself that he can't even tell if it's truly him or not. He wants to—He can. But, are you prepared to accept him for everything he is as he stands? Even if this form of his is fleeting? If you are, then he'll take your hand and never let you go.
"If you're willing to have me for all that I am… I will respond to your feelings with much more fervour. Truly, I love you. I promise you nothing but my heart to be yours."
— Mithra!
Promises; Mithra knew not to make them. He thinks it's troublesome—an unnecessary risk and a waste of time. However, when you asked him, he couldn't help but wonder if this was the equivalent of what marriage was to Tiletta when she was alive. A promise to love someone forevermore… His feelings are not one to waver. His feelings aren't fickle. They were stubborn just as he is and he couldn't help but think to himself that maybe promising himself to you wasn't as bad as it sounds. However, he wanted to make sure that you'd do the same for him. He doesn't want to love so passionately and be responded to by a lukewarm romance. He'd take it if he was desperate but he wants—Northern wizards when they want are terrifying.
"Your unwavering devotion and love. I want it. It's only fair if you promise me that too."
— Owen!
He wanted to dodge the question and disappear into mist but his body couldn't move and he couldn't bring himself to bark out another insult or a snarky comment to mock you. It was a futile question but you asked him anyway, you knew that he would always turn away and try to deny himself of his feelings to protect himself from such a vulnerability. But seeing him hesitate this much made your breath hitch because that proved that there was a part of him that was considering it—that there was a part of him that wanted to swear his love to you, even if it's small. He thought for another minute and that's when it hit him. Why not bind you to himself instead? He wouldn't feel as vulnerable and your desire to be together for eternity will be fulfilled.
"What made you think I'd let myself be chained to you? Let's put it like this… Why don't I put a chain around your neck and bind you to me instead? Come on, promise me."
— Bradley!
He sputtered out incoherent noises for a moment and tried to make sure his ears weren't betraying him. The thought never occurred to him and thinking about it now was something he never thought he would do. Promising his eternal love for someone was heavy—far too heavy for someone like him who liked the feeling of being free. Though it wasn't like he wasn't considering it. He loved you. Dearly. Passionately. Desperately. But a promise can be lethal to a wizard and he's reckless—what if he messes up? What if they take you to have something to hold over his head? What if he puts you in danger? What if he loses his magic and both of you end up getting killed? He doesn't know. He doesn't wanna know. He gives you a ring wordlessly as he slips it into your finger. He'll do this much.
"This ain't what yer probably expectin' but… Take it. I don't want ya to feel like I'm just half-assin' my feelings for ya."
Tumblr media
— Faust!
Faust freezes and for a moment he allows himself to hope; to dream of a future with you by his side. He stopped himself and brought himself back to reality and looked at you with a difficult expression. He wanted to but a part of him was afraid—coming to terms with his feelings for you was already difficult as it is but admitting that he wants to believe in something he feels like is out of his reach is something that makes him take a step back. His love was pure but uncertainty was something that stayed in his heart from years before.
"Please… Don't ask me such a difficult question next time. I cannot give you the answer I want to say."
— Nero!
It takes him a moment to process everything but once he did, he covered his face with his hands to try and cover the huge smile that took over his face. He was beyond happy—someone wanted to spend the rest of their life with him? The words may not be exact but he took them as words akin to a marriage proposal and all of a sudden he's left fantasising about what could be. A future with you… It doesn't sound so bad (he's ecstatic). He manages to face you with a calmer expression and gives you a smile.
"If you'll have me, I'd be glad to stay by your side. I'll stay for as long as you want me to—Actually, no, scratch that. You'll be stuck with me for the rest of your life."
— Heathcliff!
His first reaction was his embarrassment telling him to run away but the sincere look in your eyes made him stay in place as he looked at you with an expression just as sincere as yours. He didn't want to respond to your feelings and questions half-heartedly—he didn't want to hurt you. Though how could he ever hurt you when his heart was already set on loving you for the rest of his life? It was difficult for him to say his answer but with the way he took your hand and placed it on his chest, just over where his heart was, you already knew his answer without another word from his lips.
"Of course… I can no longer see myself not being by your side. I love you—that's a promise."
— Shino!
It didn't occur to him that it was a question you have to ask him. In his mind, it was already set to default. He didn't think that there was any need to ask. When he fell in love with you and when you accepted his heart, he already knew that he was bound to you for life. His love and devotion is yours for all time; his blade will have another purpose—to protect you. He just looked at you blankly and raised an eyebrow. All of a sudden the serious atmosphere between the two of you broke when he tilted his head.
"I thought that was already a given, though? No? Well, I'll say it for you if you want me to. My love, loyalty, and devotion… It's all yours forever."
Tumblr media
— Shylock!
Shylock was no stranger to indulging selfish requests from all people but there was always a clear line he wouldn't cross unless it was for certain people. He yearned with all of his heart—desperately and passionately. Asking him such a question was akin to asking him to walk straight into his doom. He knew that promising himself to you for all eternity will bring him immense happiness; he'll get addicted. It was as if he was tasting the finest wine he's ever had for the first time. How will he bear to let you go if those unspoken promises finally come to fruition? He'll never let you go. Not even after death.
"Fufu… After hearing such a passionate declaration of love for me, how could I bring myself to refuse you? Prepare yourself—I won't hold back any longer."
— Murr!
His expression didn't change in the slightest. Or perhaps it did, a very miniscule one that escaped your eye. Murr was a mystery no one could solve; he was a constant unpredictable variable. Every word he said to you, every touch he left on your skin, and every kiss he gave you—they were all mysteries. Even his answer to your question was a mystery. Not because he gave you a confusing response as usual but because he was silent. He didn't say anything and just continued smiling at you. For a split moment, you don't know if his eyes were downcast or it was just your eyes playing tricks on you.
"Really, really? You want me? Haha! Maybe that's a love that isn't so fruitless~!"
— Rustica!
Devoted; Rustica was a man full of undying love and devotion. He searched for his missing brides for years without any qualms. There might be a few hiccups here and there but it was undeniable that when Rustica loves, he loves wholeheartedly. Loving you was like a melody he couldn't get enough of—everything he does seems to remind him of you and he thinks to himself: so this is what it feels like to be in love with you.
"I can already hear the bells ringing for both of us. It's a precious melody meant for us… Love suits us well, doesn't it?"
— Chloe!
Chloe wasn't fully aware of the heavy weight of a promise is to a wizard. But his love is pure and he loved innocently, all he knew is how he wanted to be with you and nothing else. And that was enough reason for him to respond to you with a smile on his face as he nodded enthusiastically. He knew this is what he wanted—with a wave of his hand, he'll create the perfect attire for the both of you for your ceremony. Oh? Was he being too hasty?
"Oh! I already know what we'd wear. You'd like a traditional white theme, right—Ah, wait! I never properly responded to you… Yes, a million times, yes! I love you!"
Tumblr media
— Figaro!
He thought it was funny that you asked him, an elusive character, such a question. Tying him down to you with a promise of eternal love and unwavering devotion? He was hoping that your positions were switched where he's the one asking you that instead. He found himself unable to answer you as he ran a finger through his hair and let out a deep sigh. He avoided looking into your gaze but when his eyes finally wandered and saw yours, he felt a little bit of his resolve break—he felt like he was going crazy. Maybe he is going crazy. A smile crept up his face.
"Do you want me that much? It feels nice to be wanted… by you. Haha, I don't know anymore. Maybe I will. Take responsibility for me, okay?"
— Lennox!
He doesn't speak much but his actions said more than his words ever could. He knelt down on one knee as he took your hand and placed a kiss on your fingers. You know exactly what he meant and no trace of doubt was evident in your expression as your absolute trust and faith was placed on him. In turn, you raised his hand closer to your lips as well and kissed the back of his palm. You wanted him to know that you'd do the same for him.
"I love you, forever and always. You have my promise."
— Rutile!
He thinks of this moment as something that came out of a fairytale or a storybook he used to read to children. There was a time when he wondered if he'll ever have this kind of moment and he felt wonderful knowing it's you he was with when it happened. He let himself smile and broke into a fit of joyful laughter and giggles. The words you wanted to hear left his lips like honey you couldn't get enough of—one more time, you want to hear his answer once more.
"Nothing would make me happier… I treasure you, I really do. I'd make a thousand promises if it meant making you happy."

Chapter 1: This isn't the Sekai!
A rare blue supermoon overlook the world below. Emu and her friends happily gazed at it a few moments ago, with the Virtual Singers' hologram atop the phone as they gaze along them. But for Emu whose excitement was barely contained at the rare and beautiful sight, she wanted to share it with the plushies in the Sekai too. She even brought a high quality camera to take pictures of it, excusing herself from the others and Miku who was using her phone for her hologram, Emu stood up with camera on hand and clicked on “Untitled.”
It was the usual ceremony of the world being bathed in a bright white light before fading away to reveal their Sekai, well, at least, that's what was supposed to happen. Instead, Emu felt a rush of air pass through her as the ground below her feet vanished. The night sky was replaced with a bright sunny day, hurriedly yet seemingly, slowly going by her.
W-wait… I'm… F-falling?!!!
Emu's screams came with a slight delay from having only processed what was happening. She couldn't see the ground at all, and as she continued to fall, small patches of green start appearing in her view.
T-this is bad!!!
Tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, she doesn't know what was happening, wasn't she supposed to be in the Sekai? She clicked “Untitled”! She was sure of that! But where is this? Why is she falling?! Fear overflowed in Emu's chest as she could do nothing else but tightly shut her eyes, wishing with all that she can to get back in the Sekai, or at least…
Someone…
“SAVE ME!!!”
As if on cue, the breeze ruthlessly blowing past her as she fell, halted. In fact, her entire body stilled as she merely floated in place. Her eyes quickly opened then and beside her, she saw…
A man riding a… broom?
“Are you alright?!” The man's red hair danced with the wind as he flew towards her. He stretched out his arms to pick her up and placed her securely on the broom in front of him as one of his hands were on Emu's back, “Whew… Good thing we were nearby.”
Emu looked up at him, his eyes were two different colours. Although his hair was covering his other eye.
“How are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?” He continued to ask, worry clear on his face.
“A-ah… I-I'm fine!” Emu's voice was hoarse, throat dry and aching that she coughed a bit.
“Here!” The man opened his palm and muttered something under his breath, it didn't seem to be a language Emu knows of, afterwards though, a couple of star-like candies appeared on his palm.
It looks like… Konpeito!
“These should help for now.” He offered the magical candies to Emu.
She merely stared at them as she brought her camera and phone closer to her, unsure of whether she should take the candies or not. Questions continued to fill her mind, she was even more confused now than she first appeared in the sky. For one thing,
Where am I?
And another thing is that,
Who is he?
The most important question however is,
What is happening?
Emu didn't know what to do.
“Ah, right!” The man smiled awkwardly as he withdrew his hand, the candies disappearing as easily as it appeared, “It would be weird if a complete stranger suddenly offered something to you, huh.” His gaze landed upon Emu's camera and phone before raising an eyebrow.
“Sir Knight.” Emu looked at the source of a new voice, it was another man on a broom, one with silver hair and eyes matching with the man beside her, although it was mirrored.
Who's that?
As if an answer to Emu's unspoken question, “Sir Knight” called out the man's name.
“Owen!”
The other man called Owen glanced at Emu and a smile formed on his lips, it looked rather…
Scary…
“Ohhh and what is that you have there, Sir Knight? A lost bunny?”
The man Owen called Sir Knight groaned, “Not now Owen. She's already frightened enough as it is.”
Owen scoffed, “What ever do you mean, Sir Knight? What sinister ideas must you be thinking about?”
“That should be my question!” Sir Knight sighed, “Anyway, let's head back to Master Sage. I have a feeling they'd be able to help her more than us.”
The broom they were on moved then, a small squeak escaped from Emu's lips as her body tensed up, fearing that she might fall again she instinctively leaned closer to Sir Knight and gripped the front of his clothes with her free hand.
Sir Knight let out a small chuckle, “Don't worry! You'll be safe with me!” His hands never once leaving Emu's back. “We'll fly slowly, okay?”
“You'll surely take forever to get back. Bye then.” Emu glanced back at Owen, only to see no one there.
Whoa… He disappeared?!
“Sorry about Owen, that's just how he is.” Sir Knight moved the broom, a gentle breeze blowing on them as he maneuvered in the air, slowly, and carefully. It calmed Emu enough to feel assured that she will be safe, just as he said, “Right, I don't think I've introduced myself yet.”
He smiled brightly at her, as if the sun itself was shining right beside her. It reminded her of Tsukasa's smiles. “My name is Cain!”
Emu can feel her courage coming back to her, she leaned back a little to return a smile of her own, “I'm Emu!”

You remember exactly how you met Joel Miller, it was so simple. He was the one to give your Dad a job at the construction company he led together with his younger brother Tommy. In the beginning you only heard how great of a boss he supposedly was through your Dads stories. 
Joel and him seemed to have grown into real good friends in the span of mere weeks. You always had wondered what the man from his stories was like in person, up close. 
When you had to drive to the construction site to bring your Dad his lunch he had forgotten due to being a bit busy that morning. It seemed like your wishes to meet Joel would become reality. You didn’t think the big boss would spend his precious time with the actual building process but as you'd figure out in the future, Joel is a hands on kinda guy. 
You must’ve looked super out of place and quite lost when he approached you. His Texas drawl still echoed through your head hours later. „Well Hello Darlin, lookin for someone?“ and if that alone didn’t completely blew you away, then certainly his stunning looks. When you turned towards the voice a tall, broad and awfully handsome man looked back at you.
After an awkward beat of silence he stretched his hand out towards you “Apologies sweetheart, should’a start with the name, huh?” Tilting his head slightly “Name’s Joel, Joel Miller.” At that you let your hand slip onto his outstretched one. His hand was so huge, warm and calloused. Shaking his hand kinda calmed you down Joel Miller was absolutely lovely. “Nice to finally meet the famous Joel Miller that my Dad keeps yapping about nonstop.” You giggled while cheekily winking at him. 
That must’ve been a key moment for everything that was to follow. You’d see Joel again and again. Whether due to your Dad inviting the single, 44 year old Man over or due to you having to deliver your Dad’s forgotten food. 
The tension was slowly building higher and higher between you two until one day in Joel’s office you could no longer hold back. 
Joel stood in his office with you by his side, in front of a pinboard containing all sorts of information about his newest project. He was animatedly explaining processes you’d never understand in a million years. You actually kind of tuned him out and just enjoyed being unbelievably close to him. 
Then his face kinda looked confused. Oh no he must’ve asked you a question. Shaking your head you say  “Mhhh sorry, what did you just ask?” Joel tilts his head towards you the way he always does and then states “Ya didn’t listen to a single word I just said, right Sweetcheeks?” 
He always comes up with the most ridiculous nicknames that cause a vicious pull in your lower stomach. You lost count of how many conversations with him ended in drenched panties. 
“I….i -of course I was listening to you, why wouldn’t I?” You stammered a bit offensively, surely he’d see right through you. 
“Hm kay, so what was I talkin bout, gorgeous?” He’s teasing at this point. 
“Ok I wasn’t listening but that is a lot I don’t get anyway so can you really blame me, Miller?” You fired back. 
“So, whatcha thinkin bout inside of that pretty little head of yours, instead of listening to me?” You just scoff at him “Let’s not pretend you don’t know exactly what I was thinking about Joel.” Pointing one accusing finger at his broad chest. At that motion Joel enveloped your wrist in one of his massive hands, pulling you closer that way. Until you were right in front of him, only a tiny space left between your faces. “Why don’t ya tell me whatcha thinkin about Baby?” 
He must know, just by seeing how your eyes keep slipping down to glance at his pillowy lips, what is going through your head. You’ve been dancing around this topic, the tension, the pull towards each other, how forbidden it is for all of this to happen. Joel is your Dads Best friend and he’s twice as old as you are but you know that if you don’t kiss him right now you’ll go insane. It’s all you think about, kissing him and then some more. 
For the first time in years you actually consider letting someone get so close again. Joel would never hurt you like the ones before him did, no, he’s mature and wouldn’t play any of those stupid games. You know how kind, considerate, protective and caring he is for the ones he loves. Sure it won’t be easy to explain any of this to your Dad but you can’t think about that right now, no, you have to kiss Joel, it’s the last thought before leaning up to push your lips against his. 
One chaste kiss that erupted into a full blown make out session that only got interrupted by some frantic knocks at Joel’s Office door. 
From that day on those meetings became a routine, in his office, his truck, his house or sometimes he’d take you out of town for a super secret Date. The thrill of hiding with the possibility of getting caught soon turned into shame for lying to your Dad so much. You wanted to tell him even though it scared you more than anything how he might react. 
Surprisingly though he didn’t completely freak out, of course he was shocked and confused how this combination came to be. More than anything he took the lying personally and made clear that as long as you are happy, so is he. If Joel was the one then so be it, besides your Dad has a lot of respect for Joel and knows you're in good hands. 
After 3 months of being an official couple Joel asked if you’d be happy to move in with him. You had to think about it for a long time, feeling quite guilty about leaving your Dad behind but he reassured you that he would be fine on his own. He told you that a grown woman like you shouldn’t have to live with her boring old man anymore than you already did. 
So you moved into Joel’s house. And what followed were months filled with wonderful memories. Many barbecues were held, your Dad and Joel always standing at the grill together, each nursing on their beer bottles. 
Whenever you wanted to try a new recipe your Dad was invited over so you could make sure he still ate enough, the night always ending with you sending him home with a bunch of Tupperware's filled to the brim with deliciously homemade meals. 
When you wanted to paint the walls in the living room a new shade your Dad came over to help. 
Making sure his baby girl is happy and content was your Dads number one priority. 
Then one day you went over to his house to catch up a little bit, just you two having some Dad and Daughter one on one quality time. 
He was so excited when you told him that Joel and you want to have a baby. 
He told you what a great mother you’d make because of how wonderful you always have been with kids and how much you always wanted to have kids of your own. 
To others it might’ve been weird to share such an information with their Dad but you have such a close bond that it’s not weird at all. 
You were so happy on the drive home cuz you know what great grandpa he’d make. 
It must've been exactly one week later when you woke up with an indescribable feeling in your chest. As if the world spun a little slower, or the air felt more compromising…whatever it was you couldn’t stop feeling like something had happened. 
Your intuition only perked up more when your Dad didn’t show up for the usual Sunday’s breakfast you recently started doing. 
After 8 calls that nobody picked up you told Joel you would drive over there and as if he knew that you would need him for whatever was awaiting you there, he came with you. 
The closer you got to the house the worse you felt. Hands sweaty, heartbeat racing and your stomach felt like turning over at the sight of the house. Usually he would be up by now playing his obnoxiously loud music that you’d hear on the street through the open kitchen window. Instead it was eerily quiet. 
When Joel had parked the car he told you to wait for him but you couldn't. You just ran up the steps, unlocked the door with your spare key and bolted through the house as if on instinct you skipped up the steps to his bedroom. You flung the door open and there he was. Just laying on his designated side with his glasses still on and one hand on his chest across his heart. He looked like he was just sleeping but deep down you knew he was not. You can’t remember a lot, only that you immediately bolted towards the bathroom to empty your stomach out, Joel came up too and tried  comforting you through the heaving. Then he tried to get you away from the scene. Joel took care of everything while you just locked up inside of yourself. No tears, no screams, no words, not a singular reaction just nothing. Joel had never seen you look so…empty. 
Later on the authorities would say it’s just natural cause, he simply passed in his sleep, nothing dramatic. Not the kind of closure you would have wanted. It didn’t matter how “normal” it was, your world stopped spinning entirely. Everyone seemed to go one but you just stopped. 
Suddenly without any foreshadowing everything was completely flipped on its head. You loved him so much, he was your best friend. He told you all the time how much he loved you even with all your struggles. You’d never have to prove your worth to him; he'd love you no matter what. In his eyes you were a gift, opposite to your mother that looked at you as a burden. You never felt loved by her. She took away your precious childhood and forced you to grow up quickly. So you could take care of her. Even when you told her how close to the edge you were she always made everything about herself. Out of your parents the one person that actually wanted you, died and with him so did your willingness to continue with the fight against all your inner demons.
You lost yourself after that. For weeks you just slept, barely moving, only getting up to use the toilet and perhaps eat something small and drink a bit. Joel had to shower you, otherwise you wouldn’t have done it yourself. Who you were before losing your Dad was gone, as if you died with him. 
Joel tried everything in his power to make you feel better. One time he wanted to paint with you since you loved to do that, but the moment your eyes caught sight of the little paint pots you ran for the toilet to empty out your stomach. Later on he realized his mistake, you used to paint with your Dad a lot all the way back in your childhood so of course that would not make you feel better. Then he tried playing music for you either your favorite songs from your playlist or on his guitar. Nothing, you just continued to be completely catatonic. 
Then the funereal came, a day Joel dreaded he was not sure you’d be able to handle it. In the morning he made your hair and applied a bit of makeup, he watched you do your little routine often enough to know what he was doing. Afterwards he dressed you in a simple black dress and equally black flats. Walking only worked since Joel kept you upright. 
Sitting in the front row bench at the chapel you looked like a ghost. Pale and sunken in. You were asked to do a speech about your Dad but that would’ve been impossible. So Joel went up to do it instead. You just stared straight ahead at the coffin, not sparing a glance towards Joel. 
And once everything was over, the people, mostly his colleagues, paid him their respects. When everyone was gone you stayed and just laid your head on the coffin silently sobbing, which was the most emotion Joel had seen in weeks from you. Only he was to witness this vulnerability. 
Staring at the completed grave was just as daunting. His name is written in cold stone. All that’s left is this hole in the earth and a stone on top with his name. 
You walked away without sparring another glance toward the grave.
Then it seemed like you were getting better. You spoke more, ate more and slept less. You even searched out body contact with Joel, though it was just some cuddling and gentle kissing. But he took it as a step in the right direction. 
You almost fully returned to your old self but Joel could have not predicted how wrong he would be. 
He should’ve listened to his gut that told him something was off when you didn’t kiss him goodbye before he left for work that morning. 
You know how hard it will be but there’s no other choice. You have to get away, you have to leave so he can find someone better, someone who deserves a man like Joel Miller, someone less troubled, someone normal. 
Those fears you have now, always were inside of you but with your Dad passing they just all came to the surface. Grief killed you, it took everything, it’s as if you're in a room with a beautiful glowing bulb and some dark entity just rips it away. You're left in the dark and not even Joel’s light can make it better. 
You lost something nothing can replace. 
All your life you feared what would happen if you’d lose someone like this without any way of getting closure, he died without any warning just poof and gone he was. 
Your final goodbye was never said. 
Now you can’t remember how he used to be, you only remember him laying in his bed without moving a damn muscle,dead. You were the one to find him and even though it was not some unsettling scene it’s not leaving your head. You try hard to remember how he spoke that sarcastic tone he usually used. 
You can’t remember his face anymore, not even looking at pictures brings him back and at the same time he’s all you think about as if he’s haunting you. You hate him for leaving you so early. Why him? What kind of curse was laid upon you that everything always seems to fall apart when you think it’s finally working out. 
It’s as if some higher up can sense that you are happy and content with your life and they don’t want to give you that sorta life. 
The moment your brain processed what had happened you fell into the darkness like a big hole that sucked you in without any way out. Anyone around you could be another loss so what do you do? You leave, you disappear so no one gets hurt by whatever is wrong with you. 
Looking at yourself hurts because it’s him you see and it’s him you hear in your head he’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Sometimes you feel like you’re hallucinating because you swear to see him round the corner, you can almost hear him call out but when you try to look there’s nothing. 
Sometimes but much rarer than you’d like to admit you’ve visited the grave, sometimes you speak to no one. Sometimes you scream in agony till you almost lose consciousness from the lack of oxygen. Sometimes you just stare. 
It’s a sick twist of events considering how often he walked on cemeteries with you as a child. You didn’t understand the meaning behind them back then, you only loved to admire the beautiful flower ornaments laying on top of the graves. Your dad always told you how soothing these walks seemed for you. 
One time he took you and you had so much fun admiring the flowers giggling and smiling. Your dad wanted to tell you off since it’s a place where people grieved especially with a woman sitting nearby crying. He went to apologize to her on your behalf but the woman told him not to. She thought it was an uplifting sight to see little you having so much joy about the flowers, that’s a story he always kept telling you again and again. 
All your life those walks soothed your frayed mind. The quiet somber energy is something no other place could compare with. Now it’s the last place you’d wanna be in. The moment you step foot on the property, the panic starts to creep up on you. The closer you get to him the worse it gets. 
Sometimes the voices in your head scream to just start digging into the earth to get him out of that godforsaken coffin. Look at him, do something to bring him back. If the devil would show up to take you instead of your dad you’d do it. He was a troubled man but he tried so hard. He did not deserve any of this, he should’ve been here for all the good times yet to come. 
You imagined him walking you down the aisle, having that stupid first look with him where he’d surely try so hard not to cry but looking at his baby in a wedding dress would’ve been way too much for him to stay strong. You imagined having your first dance with him. 
You imagined how excited he would’ve been to hear that he was going to be a grandpa. In your head you can see him with a little baby that looks just like you. But none of this will ever happen; he's dead. 
Sometimes it’s hard to even look at Joel. He's connected to him as well; he was his boss and one of his closest friends. It’s not fair you know but in your head you see Joel and your dad laughing on the porch about some old men shit like always making their awful dad jokes. Or drinking a beer together or looking to fix something around the house. 
The house, Joel’s house and a place your dad spent a lot of time in. Walking through the hallways is not pleasant anymore, the couch is avoided as best as you can. He used to sit here all the time watching soccer games with Joel. The chair at the dining table he always sat on had to be removed simply seeing it made you sick and eating was already a hefty struggle since he passed. 
He left a mark anywhere and all of it was getting too much. The pressure in your head becomes more and more unbearable. 
Even though you tried to push all those negative festering thoughts away the voices could not be shut up no matter what you tried. 
The worst was when they started to go for Joel, suddenly all you could think of was how he’d die. Joel is only 10 years your dad’s junior. So if he died then why not Joel too. 
So many horrible scenarios played out inside your mind. Car accident, some freak accident on a construction site, getting attacked by multiple people, torturing him slowly, beating him to death, his head all split open, blood everywhere, or what if he gets shot by some crazy Texan who loves guns. There really was not a scenario left to imagine. 
Nightmares in the most cruel ways destroying you slowly from the inside out. And that just proved how one thing can make an avalanche of events happen. He was your purpose for most of your life, you only continued to play this game called life because you could not leave him. And now he left you. 
One time he told you how if it weren’t for you he’d be dead or in jail since there would be no reason to give a damn about his life. He was just like you, living for others instead of for himself. No one understood you like him. Somewhere deep inside you know he wouldn’t want you to blame yourself so much but that singular fact does nothing compared to all the ever suffocating darkness. 
You’d give anything to have him back, feel his warm embrace one more time, hear him say how much he loves you, have him tell you one of his stories, have him tell you it’s going to be alright, take one more look and inhale his signature scent. You have one of his shirts doused in his favorite perfume, it’s what you used to do in all those years you lived far away from him during childhood. Now it does not help like it did back then. What remains of him? Nothing, all of his stuff shoved into a storage unit looked up, buried just like him. 
You know Joel tried hard to be supportive and not push you too hard. Sometimes you wished he would’ve just screamed at you, slapped some sense into you and told you to stop being such a disgraceful mess. That’s what they would’ve done. 
But Joel is not like that,  he helped you so much. Putting himself so far behind. So much so that you feel sorry he has to deal with an ill girlfriend, that’s what you are, a mental wreck. 
He deserves better treatment than the lackluster one you have given him in the last months. He deserves to be free of your weight dragging him down towards the abyss. Even though he told you in the beginning that he loves you with all the baggage and all the challenges, you cannot let him continue to waste his time. 
Besides you’re convinced he’d leave you anyway like everyone before one way or another you end up alone. You have no control of the situation but if you leave then you have the control it still hurts but it’s the only option in your head. 
The decision was made weeks ago, it felt wrong to lie to Joel to keep him thinking everything is fine only to then rip it all away but perhaps it’ll make him hate you so it’s easier. If he hates you then he will be able to move on with his life. Burn all you build together down.
 And then you knew today would be the day. You couldn’t bear to kiss him in the morning; it would only make everything harder. Some time after he left you got up. One last time using the shower you both occasionally used together having foam party’s, giggling, washing each other and then kissing, touching till it leads to you with your cheek squished against the tile and Joel behind you ferociously hitting that special spot inside of you, till you both reach your high. Now you’re alone staring at that specific spot in the tiles, too much so you turn away. 
One last time looking at yourself in the mirror above the sink, the mirror Joel and you both looked into while brushing your teeth. You dry your hair, put on fresh clothes, nothing too dramatic, just some simple black leggings and a black cotton shirt. 
Then you start packing the most important stuff into two big suitcases. Basically only clothes, some hygiene products and a few trinkets that you don’t want to leave behind. The rest can be either sold by Joel or thrown away. You don’t care, the less holding you back the better. 
Once the suitcases are packed you haul them down the stairs towards the front door. And then you just wait. For hours you sit at the dining table just staring ahead at the wall opposite where so many photos of Joel and you hang so many memories and you’ll destroy it. 
You should feel bad but these days you barely feel anything, numb is what you think you feel most of the time. Maybe that’s what your ex meant when he said that you don’t own a heart, that you’re a cold blooded mean person. Someone who plays with people until they stop serving their purpose, that's what he said. 
It’s almost 8pm, Joel should be home soon. You have practically studied the words you’ll say. An Uber already ordered to arrive 15 minutes after he should get home. Not much to talk about the less the easier so you can just walk away. 
Then you hear it, Joel’s truck driving up the driveway and coming to a halt. How he gets out and slams the door shut behind him. His keys jiggling while he searches for the right one. Unlocking the door and closing it behind him. You don’t turn towards him although you know he must be looking at you in astonishment. He can not miss the suitcases and something about the lack of his words tells you he knows exactly what this means. 
Joel cannot believe what he walked into, he knew something was off but just thought that he was starting to imagine things but here you are sitting like an empty shell of yourself and the packed suitcases can only mean one thing, he tries his hardest not to freak out that won’t make anything better. 
He starts walking towards you, slowly, once he reaches the threshold of the living room he speaks up 
“Moon, Darling what’s goin on?” He immediately continues “What’s with those suitcases, huh?” He can’t even hide the nervous quiver in his voice. 
You turn to finally look at him with empty eyes, get up and walk up to him and then “I have to leave.” And with that you move to walk past him but Joel stops you by reaching for you arm, you immediately pull your arm away hissing “Don’t fuckin touch me Joel.” 
He’s stunned by this harsh rejection, his expression full of hurt. Yet he persists by getting close, grabbing your face with both hands, his warm calloused hands that you love- loved so much. He urges “Talk to me baby, what is going on, why would ya need to leave?” Even with everything he tried to be gentle, his voice panicked yet almost just a whisper. 
He can see in your eyes some sadness creeping in when you mutter “Joel..-“ you take one deep inhale “-…this House no longer feels like home.” He can tell even with how hard you try to appear collected that it pains you to say those words. “Wh…what do ya mean? If- if the house is the problem we can just move.” You cut in “No Joel, no i..I don’t love you anymore. Ok? I can’t stay here any longer.” 
It’s a punch right into his gut there’s no way you are serious. “Baby all ya stuff is here you can’t just leave.” He tries to find something to buy him time. “I don’t care Joel just…just throw it away or sell it or I don’t know fuckin burn it. I won’t need it anyway.” He’s so shocked that you use that to continue your path towards the front door and the waiting suitcases. 
On top of one suitcase lies a tote bag containing your phone, a jacket and your wallet sits. You swing it over your shoulder, you can hear that Joel has started crying, his huffed breaths are all you can hear. 
That’s when a car starts honking outside, the Uber is here, you go to open the front door twisting the knob you can hear him walking up behind you with heavy steps. You open the door anyway with him at your back and you move the suitcases out onto the porch. Joel’s trying his hardest to contain his sobbing to a minimum but it’s hard he loves you so much, he thinks about the ring in his wardrobe hidden behind stuff you’d never go for and he thinks about the talks you two had of having a baby. If only he knew 
His heart is breaking watching you walk away from all of it. You turn to him, one last time, he looks shattered, you've never seen Joel like this, you give him a nod as if to give him the ok to touch you one more time if only to give some kind of closure. He moves closer without hesitation and takes your face in his hands once more and leans his forehead against yours. His frantic breathing collides with your face and then “Wh…why Baby just why?” He sobs A simple question and you decide to give him at least something you reach up to put your hands over his to get him to open his eyes. 
“Joel I’m not myself anymore, i-…i feel so all over the place and I’m so scared.” Tears start clouding your sight. “I need to be away from everything. I need to be alone far away to just maybe find some peace. I need to be gone.” And the tears start falling “No matter where I look I can’t stop seeing him and it’s crushing me.” Now you're full on crying. He’s processing what you’re saying and somewhere in his mind he understands that, still he can’t believe this is it. 
“Ok-….if ya need to go at least promise you’ll give some sorta sign ya alright?” He looks desperate “Please Baby….please just a text something anything.” You only nod and then pull out of his grasp, take the suitcases and shakinly make your way to the Uber. Joel can only watch and hope you’ll stick to your words, hope that you’ll find some kind of way back to yourself. 
The Uber driver gets out as you approach and opens the trunk helping to put the suitcases in there. Then you walk to the right door on the back, open it and hesitate for a moment. Joel holds his breath but you continue to slip into the backseat. Closing the door and off the car goes. Joel doesn’t know for how much longer he stood on the porch long after the car was gone. What was there is no more.

KILL YOUR DARLINGS .lıllıl.
Tumblr media
pairings ━━ abby anderson x seraphite!fem!reader (no race mentioned or described), platonic!lev + reader, platonic!yara + reader
warnings ━━ violence, cursing, religious trauma, Owen (TRIGGER WARNING⚠️)
synopsis ━━ being the descendent of a religious cults “prophet” wasn’t as fun as it sounded, if it sounded fun at all. constant worship alongside constant punishment meant you were far beyond saving, far beyond any hope for a real, normal life. or, at least, that’s what you thought. before Abby, there was nothing left for you. now? everything has changed.
playlist ━━ ptolemaea by ethel cain, family tree by ethel cain
Tumblr media
“Please don’t do this.” You begged desperately, your plead falling on purposefully deaf ears as the larger woman dragging you in front of the burning car and forced you on your hands and knees.
“I granted you leeway for this one,” she pointed above you to the hanging dead man on the tree, “but not this one. It is your duty to fulfill the prophets legacy, you will not fail her because you are weak minded.” She hissed in your ear.
Just then, two men dragged in the body of an unconscious girl, carelessly dropping her on the overgrown cement. She groaned and lifted her head, making eye contact with you before looking up to see the bodies of those she once knew.
“I’m not weak and I do follow her teachings. Just not the ones you made up.” Those words earned you a slap to the face, unwillingly causing your head to turn sideways.
The woman bent down to your fallen position and ruthlessly gripped your cheeks in her hands, likely trying to form a bruise. “You will do this, whether you want to or not.”
She grabbed your forearm and pulled you up to your feet, she stood behind you and forced you to grip the knife tightly in your fist as she pushed you forward. The hung woman with the blonde braid attempted to move away from the blade, her breaths coming out shallow for fear of her life and your own.
The struggle between you and Emily only came to a halt when the tip of the blade was rested against the hanging girls abs, you feared you’d only make her suffer more if you continued struggling.
You lifted your eyes to meet her pleading one’s. “I’m sorry.” You whispered.
Emily whispered the final prayer message from behind you, pushing your hand closer until a series of whistles paused her movements. She gestured towards the men beside you to go deal with the problem and took the knife out of your hands, pushing you against a nearby tree.
“Don’t run, you know what’ll happen.” She threatened you and turned her attention onto the men carrying in another body.
Except this body wasn’t one of the WLF, it was Yara. The Yara you turned yourself in to buy more time for Lev.
You could only watch in paralyzing horror as they held Yara down and attempted to question her about her brother. When they didn’t get the answer they wanted, Emily demanded they “clip her wings.” Your ears buzzed at the trigger word and sent you straight to your feet, nearing Emily’s back when she abruptly lifted her hand and struck you down with one blow.
She looked down at you triumphantly, “You may be good at killings demons, but don’t think you could ever strike me down, child.”
Cornered and alone with weapons available, you could only try to hold on to what little breaths you had left as you were forced to listen to Yara’s screams that echoed along the trees. A witness to the atrocities committed by your ancestors followers.
Helpless, your eyes lifted up to the hanging girl, wondering what her fate would be after the seraphites were done with you and Yara. Yet another life you couldn’t save. Despite the darkness, she looked back at you, a conflict within them.
Right as one of the men lifted his hand to break the girls other arm, a smooth arrow cut through the air and straight through his cheek, the other going into his chest and sending him down. Everyone looked towards the direction of the shot and missing the subtle way Yara’s free hand slipped into the hammer and shoved it into the other man’s neck with a cry.
Once your initial shock had worn off, you threw your entire body into Emily’s frame after she raised her gun in Yara’s direction. A shot rang off and Emily threw you off of her, both of you pulling into a guarded standing position as her gun lay only a few feet away.
She scoffed, “You will never be her.”
Instead of your eyes flickering towards the distant weapon, they looked up at the hanging girl. Together, you both knew what to do.
You took one deep breath before directly running into Emily’s body, shoving your elbow into the softest part of her body and knocking her backwards only a few feet. The hanging girl wrapped her thighs around Emily’s neck and held her there as you took the hammer from Yara’s hand and stood in front of the woman that had tormented and pushed you for years now.
You raised the hammer above your head, “I never wanted to be.” And pierced the sharp end through her skull.
The hanging girl pushed Emily’s body out from under her and accidentally dropped the bucket from under herself. Just as you raised your hand to help, Yara’s bloody hand wrapped around your shoulder in a desperate attempt to stand up.
You wrapped your arm around her waist right when Lev came out of the shadows and confirming who you thought it was.
“Lev, cut her down!” You ordered, carrying Yara over to an area where she could sit comfortably.
“But she’s one of them-“
“Now, Lev!”
The boy used the knife in his pocket and cut the rope, dropping the hanging girl. You and Lev switched places, your attention being driven away from Yara and onto the blonde girl who was still trying to catch her breath.
You pulled the rope up over her neck and quickly checked for any major injuries. “Are you okay? Can you breathe?”
“I’m breathing so yeah, I’m great.” She coughed, her eyes angrily looking over at Emily’s dead body and ripping the axe from her head.
You tried not looking at her arms and instead focused your ears on nearby infected, or demons, as you called them. Together, you all stood facing the woods and preparing for the bloodshed of demons coming at you.
“Watch your backs.”
While silence consumed the four of you in the old trailer, your eyes slowly lingered around Abby. First, they landed on her muscles, bit of personal indulgence on your part but still, it added to her beauty. Then, they followed the one strand of blonde hair out of place, wisping past her forehead and occasionally being tucked behind her ear when she got sick of it. Lastly, your eyes trained on her face, her eyes specifically.
Her eyes were special, they were not like yours. Color nor size didn’t matter because Abby held an internal conflict you knew low of. Here she was, a wolf, helping her supposed “enemy” who somehow also helped her. She faced the struggle of going back to her people, ratting on you three and possibly getting a pat on the back ir promotion, or staying here and making sure you were all safe.
She chose neither.
“Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?” You questioned her, walking her towards the trailer door.
She chuckled, amused. “Shouldn’t I be saying that to you?”
“I mean, are you going to be okay alone? I won’t be there to protect you from any more demons, you know?” You joked, bringing a smile to her tense face.
“How did you get so good at killing those things anyway? Thought Scars were too busy killing us to focus on them.”
“Seraphites. My ancestor, the prophet, she was skilled in killing demons. I guess it kinda passed on-“
“Wait, you- you’re the…daughter of the prophet the Scars worship?” Abby interrupted, flabbergasted.
“Seraphites and yes- no, not her daughter, i-it’s complicated.” You stumbled your words, and crossed your hands front of you. “But if you stay I can tell you all about it…?” You tried.
She smiled sadly, taking a deep breath of consideration before ultimately shaking her head. “I’m sorry, I really should be going.”
You let out a sad sigh but nodded understandingly and opened the door for her. “You won’t be reporting us to your leaders, right?”
She looked back at you in surprise, almost offended. “No, of course not. But hey-“ she leaned in closer to you, “this area gets a lot of traffic so whatever condition she’s in, you have to leave by tomorrow.”
Looking back at Yara, you nodded. “I understand. Thank you, Abby.”
With one last longing look behind her, Abby kept moving.
However, even when Owen occupied her makeshift bed, her mind was occupied by you. You both hanging from the tree with your insides on the outside and your gentle hands helping her fix a superficial wound in her arm. It was all very confusing, this new feeling. Because it wasn’t new at all. In fact, this is the exact feeling she had been trying to replicate when she pushed her lips against Owens the night before, a feeling she once had for him, a feeling now stolen by another.
So, she went back.
Back to you. A goddamn Seraphite.
Upon overhearing another Scar talk about the “descendent” and the “apostle”, she made sure to swiftly handle them and rush herself in the direction of the trailer she left you in. A sense of pride came over her as she noticed the dead body hanging out of the front door, proof you all fought back, but it was quickly replaced with fear when Lev rung out a shot in her direction.
“Wait, Lev! It’s Abby.” You pushed his arms down from their outstretched position on the bow and rushed toward Abby, stopping directly in front of her when her hands held your forearms. “You’re back!”
“I wanted to hear the rest of that story, doll.” She joked lightly, before moving into Yara’s curled position and speaking to her gently.
You held Lev’s shoulders into your side before he could pounce on Abby for moving his sister and were moved into a nearby aquarium. Although a rocky beginning, your heart ached for Yara and all you could do was send out a quick prayer before tuning back into the conversation at hand.
The pregnant woman, Mel, made no complaints when Abby offered to go pick up supplies, much to the protest of the man, Owen.
“We can take you in two hours.” You spoke up, ripping your teary eyes away from Yara.
“What? How?”
“The seraphites built bridges up in the sky, between building, away from floods, and from you…your people.” You and Lev shared a look, determination.
“Woah, hang on. These bridges are used by scars.” Owen argued Abby.
“They only send in small groups at a time.” Lev chimed in.
“See? Small groups at a time.” Her eyes connected with yours. “And our second coming of Jesus will shine our path.”
You pinched your eyebrows together, looking at Lev for a second before looking back at Abby. “Who’s Jesus?”
The wolves looked at each other in shock for a quick second before getting back on track. Mel handing Abby the list and Owen, once again, wording his complaints.
You paid no mind to their bickering and placed a gentle kiss on Yara’s head. “I have already sent out a prayer. She will protect you as long as she can, so will I.” The girl gave you a grateful smile, her eyes warning you to be careful.
Moving aside for Lev, you stood closer to Abby who put her hand on your shoulder and brought you in closer.
“I’ll do anything I can to help, okay?” She whispered.
Your eyes flickered between her eyes and her lips from the close proximity but a positive smile still graced your face. “You already have, Abby. I don’t know how else to thank you.”
She shook her head, “Thank me by telling me all about you later, ‘kay?” 
“Kay?” You mumbled the word to yourself before nodding and saying it with more enthusiasm. “Kay!”
Abby gave you a dimpled smile and lead you and Lev out to the back doors, keys in hand and ears shut off from the man’s calls.
Once you made it to the door, it was clear him and Abby had some…unresolved business that left you and Lev as awkward bystanders.
“Look, she just showed up. I don’t think she knows about last night-“
“I don’t care about last night!” Abby huffed out, looking over at you from over her shoulder before stepping up to Owen, face full of anger.
“Well, I do.” The man said with a face full of hurt at her words.
You bit your lip and looked down at your hands, noticing Lev side eyeing them from beside you.
Reluctantly, the man opened the door. You let Lev go in front of you as Abby placed her hand on your lower back when she walked out behind you, trying to ignore Owen’s remarks. You looked back at him in the building, he made eye contact with you, a question lingering in his eyes before he stated.
“I hope you know what you’re doing.” And shut the door.

We need to talk about X-Men '97!
October 31st, 1992, saw the release of the iconic X-Men animated series. It quickly gained praise and viewership from its audience. For years, it has been regarded as one of the most high-quality animated adaptations.
This year, the X-Men Animated Series finally gains a sequel; X-Men '97. The next chapter in Marvel's Uncanny Mutants is only halfway through its season. Its journey is only just beginning, and it has already gained praise from critics.
Welcome to the House of Milesverse. Today, we will be talking about X-Men '97, and its growing impact. I hope you enjoy the read and remember to (SNIKT) leave a comment or suggestion, bub.
WARNING. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
'97's story:
Tumblr media
Unsurprising to anyone, '97 picks up a year after the events of the last episode. With Charles Xavier gone, Cyclops has taken full reins over the team. The X-Men are facing off against new and dangerous challenges.
'97 has a timeless vibe to its story, almost as if you never left. These are still the same characters as they were before. The X-Men's lore and story within the animated continuity have not changed.
Much like its predecessor, '97 also provides some interesting adaptations. For an example, look no further than Madelyne Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey. In just one episode, the series condensed the events of her story.
Another good example is their destruction of Genosha. Watching it play out on the screen was such a shocker. Its destruction was carried out by Cassandra Nova in the comics. Interestingly enough, she's completely absent from the series, with this being a conspiracy done by Bolivar Trask.
The X-Men have been missed.
Tumblr media
Dear X-Men, we have missed you.
X-Men's animated series is in line with other serious, action-heavy stories from that time. Their story focuses on the message of hate, and the real-world issues it can relate to. The persecution that mutants feel has often been used to represent various minority groups across history.
In addition, the original series combined that with beautifully made animation. The action scenes have been well-remembered by fans for years. The animated series has become such a beloved part of the animated media circle within comic books. For anyone who's a fan of our merry mutants, they definitely have spent some time with this show.
97 has proven to be a perfect follow-up by many fans. In just two episodes, 97 was able to impress the audience. It's following in the footsteps of its predecessor. X-Men 97's acclaim and interest can only rise, especially thanks to it's renewal.
What's so different?
Tumblr media
These may be the same mutants you have met, but their voices are not. Some of the actors, such as Norm Spencer (the original voice for Cyclops) unfortunately passed away over the years. Others have been recast to play different characters.
Here are what I feel are the most notable additions:
Cyclops is now voiced by Ray Chase, well known for being the voice of numerous characters such as Noctis Lucis Caelum (FF15), Bruno Bucciarati (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Tengen Uzui (Demon Slayer), Roy (Fire Emblem), and the Master of Masters (Kingdom Hearts)
Jean Grey (and Madelyne Pryor) is now voiced by Jennifer Hale, well known for being the voice of Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect), Princess Morbucks (Powerpuff Girls), and one of the Hex Girls, Thorn (Scooby-Doo). It's also worth noting that Jennifer Hale reprises the role, as she initially had it during Wolverine and the X-Men.
Gambit is an interesting case, as his prior voice actor, Chris Potter, is now playing Cable. He's instead voiced by A.J. LoCascio, who does voice work for both Prince Lotor (Voltron: Legendary Defender) and Marty McFly (Back To The Future: The Game).
Speaking of? Cable is voiced by Chris Potter now, whose done work as Peter Caine (Kung-Fu: The Legend Continues), and Evan Owen (The Young and The Restless).
Cable's old voice actor was Lawrence Bayne, but he was replaced by Chris Potter. Ironically enough, Lawrence Bayne plays a new character who debuts in the same episode as Cable's birth, The X-Cutioner. Lawrence Bayne is known as the voice of Gill (Street Fighter III: Third Strike) and Raven (Gargoyles).
Lastly? Jubilee's old voice actress, Alyson Court, wanted someone of Asian descent to portray her. That is where Holly Chou comes in, acting as the new voice of Jubilee. She did the voice work for Akame (Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name). It is also worth noting that Alyson Court acted as the voice of an older Jubilee in an episode, named Abscissa.
As you can see, a lot has changed with the voice cast of the X-Men series. Some characters who were voiced by older actors had been replaced. Others, like Cal Dodd (The voice of Wolverine) and Alison-Sealy Smith (The voice of Storm) still reprise their iconic roles.
While much has changed? At the end of the day, these new actors all still portray the spirit of the character. Ray Chase for example makes for a standout, with how closely he sounds to Norm Spencer's Cyclops.
What to look forward to & Conclusion
Tumblr media
X-Men '97 is heating up, and we are already almost at the end. If you haven't checked it out yet, then I recommend it. The series is short, but its episodes all have a distinct impact and role. They not only move the plot forward but also help the characters to grow.
My hope is that Superhero Animation swings back into full gear. I remember as a kid it felt like it was practically already there. From the 90s to the 2000s, you could not miss it. The DC Animated Universe, for example, stands out as one of the best superhero animation projects. An entire generation grew up on those stories, and those adventures.
X-Men shows that its importance and value to people matters. Much like the DCAU, it raised so many children and was their first introduction to the X-Men. It stands out as one of the most iconic superhero action cartoons ever, and frankly? It's earned its title.
I think the future of superhero animation is steadily climbing back up. We have had great animated series, such as Invincible, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, My Adventures with Superman, and now? X-Men '97.
This has been a wonderful episode of House of MilesVerse. I hope you join us for a deep dive into our favorite robots in disguise. I'll be doing a full review of Transformers: Earthspark.
And? If you didn't know it, then now you know. We'll chronicle some adventures of Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur.

shipping is hard by yourself
like i could ship jax and caine, but then i dont get to have pomni there. like, i could do a grey quadrant or a polycule, but i really want to focus on how those two interact
but i love pomni
anyways,
in 2009 or 2011 i read a sonic x fanfiction that touched on how black sonic interacted with other sonic characters, but i was hefty into sonamy.
and im talkin yandere sonamy (it was a fun time for me because it was either this or creepypastas and they were SCARY back then for a 9-11 year old), so it was interesting to see amy who was always written in these fanworks to be extremely dangerous and obsessive to be meant with the same, if not more intense danger and obsession .
really made me want to start enjoying shipping fictional characters into weird ways they wouldn't act because it was either unhealthily romantic to me or really healin with how they worked on eachothers deterioratin' mental states
anywho
by this time, i couldnt really write well, i could write long, but not well. so most of my stories about my own ocs had just been multiple cutscenes and events happenin with little to no fuckin... buildin' or development just "we met we struggled and now we will get christian married after sex, of course"
like maybe if i read more romance novels i would get better at writing romances... yeah
Paragraph 11: Romance is kinda boring because people are also kinda boring
i realized quickly that normal relationships dont have a lot goin on, really, at least the nomalized healthy ones. in my kind i very much assumed that it was okay to be with someone who was not normal about you becuase much like today the idea of someone yearnin for you so much that they willin spend time thinkin dreamily about you sounded swank as fuck, yo
turns out thats bad, i think.
at least according to the internet, the place i go to for romantic advice even though i know like 3 married couples by now
Excuseless
i shouldve known there was somethin wrong with my perceptions of romance since i was 15, i was basing it all off of fiction. manga, cartoons, you name it. not to brag, im just glad i didnt base it off of total drama island season 1, like owen and dj were like the only characters that would make it into heaven probably
anyways
i need to like, die, or find a better hobby i find comfortable or somethin because i am very sad and very depressed. mm. this was stupid.

Mediaonedesign.com - Zlatan Ibrahimovic Goodbye Signature shirt
Buy this shirt:  Click here to buy this Mediaonedesign.com - Zlatan Ibrahimovic Goodbye Signature shirt
#TeechallaclothingLLC Off the Zlatan Ibrahimovic Goodbye Signature shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this stage, meanwhile, the Coachella outfits have been playing into the festival’s style signatures (think, denim, fringe, and lace). Model Hailey Bieber was spotted in a cropped white tank top and extra baggy jeans. Lil Nas X wore a cropped bomber jacket, Chopova Lowena’s plaid mini skirt, and leather Rick Owens knee boots. As Kourtney Kardashian’s husband Travis Barker played his set with Blink 182, the star also cheered him on from the sidelines in a shaggy black faux fur coat with extra wide shield sunglasses. It simply wouldn’t be a Coachella ready outfit if it wasn’t slightly over the top. This week in celebrity fashion seemed to be all about having fun. Lil Nas X went Vegas showgirl with a dramatic, bedazzled out feathered headpiece—which felt perfectly aligned with his encrusted, sheer birthday gown he wore this week, as well. While Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson shared a snap of Marc Jacobs and Char Defrancesco donning the brand’s buzzy pixelated hoodie, fresh from the Spring 23 collection. While reality star Joseline Hernandez modeled some of Telfar’s indelible cut out garments. The message was clear fashion doesn’t need to take itself too seriously.

#TeechallaclothingLLC Ethel Cain is, self admittedly, not exactly a festival person. “I have to work myself up to even go to concerts at small venues, the Zlatan Ibrahimovic Goodbye Signature shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this 25 year old singer songwriter jokes. In fact, her first time attending a festival (Pitchfork) was also her first time performing at one. Nonetheless, Cain, who began self releasing music in 2017 from Florida, has proven to be a quick study. When performing at festival crowds, Cain points out, some of the audience might be unfamiliar with your work. (Although, given the breakout success of her 2022 concept album, Preacher’s Daughter, Cain has racked up plenty of fans as of late.) For her debut Coachella performance, Cain treated the career milestone as “just having some fun in the desert with my friends, she shared with Vogue, shortly before embarking from Los Angeles to the desert in a “clown car full of our gear and stuff. Among the baggage was her Weekend 1 performance look, designed by Matthew M. Williams, creative director at Givenchy. “I love how clean and simple his designs are, Cain shares of the designer, who frequently upheld modern design principles during his tenure at the French house. “It always goes back to the lines for me. Very clean lines.

MAHOYAKU FIC RECS ★ CAIOWE ★ #31
fics that have an asterisk (*) in front of them are my personal favorites!
this list was last updated on 7/9/23.
NOTE: these fic recs contain the ship cain/owen.
if you want general mahoyaku fic recs click here
if you want ozfiga fic recs click here
if you want lenofau fic recs click here
*rather, its base and apex are curvilinear • one-shot
SUMMARY: "owen has done part of the stealing, an eye for an eye, a gift for a theft. and it is the humans, as ever, who plunder the rest. no man could be a knight and a wizard, and no man ever wanted to be near a wizard. so the knight is knight no more.”
TAGS: non-linear narrative, recurring references to owen’s past, owen taking cain’s eye, angst, blood and injury, meeting again, developing relationship
*get a hold of you • one-shot
SUMMARY: “owen is still staring in on him from the other side of the window, and all cain can see is a reflection of himself. it’s his own face, angular and boyish, and his own hair, red in a manner that whispers of shattered pasts, but the smile that sits atop the illusion of himself is wide and close to sickening. the eyes, his eyes, are the same, but it has been that way for years. it’s familiar now, against his will.”
TAGS: set before 1st anniversary story, developing relationship, eye trauma, cain working through his feelings and owen being a little bit of a cunt (the usual)
*at the point of the sword • one-shot
SUMMARY: “you also forget, mister knight, that i am a wizard of the north.” he violates cain’s space, as he delights in doing: his breath ghosts over cain’s face, cain’s own caught in his throat, his eyes locked on this unwanted matching set. “i could kill you,” owen whispers, barely moving his mouth, much less his body. it feels like his gloved finger has slowly traced cain’s jaw.”
TAGS: character study, developing relationship, a fic revolving around owen’s deaths and subsequent revivals, the sheer homoeroticism of sparring with your mortal enemy, owen-typical blood and injury, wanting someone you love to kill you can actually be so personal
*axis, tilting • one-shot
SUMMARY: "hey, owen," murr asks one day, eyes wide and voice lilting, sing-song. "what’s it like to die?"
TAGS: set before 1st anniversary story, owen character study, tension, developing relationship, owen pushing others away but slowly learning to open up.....we love to see it, i really like the pancake scene bc i could totally envision it happening, fluff
*dust and gold • one-shot
SUMMARY: “cain, who’s an idiot and will probably die soon, who comes asking for magic tips even if his teacher is supposed to be the stronger wizard alive. owen looks at him, auburn in his hair and spring in the way his lips curve upwards, and thinks fool, and also dunce. it’s full of fondness, which scares and irritates him in equal parts.”
TAGS: owen character study, fluff, angst, developing relationship
NOTES: i love how this fic discusses owen’s past in regards to his life after he was “set free” and before he was summoned as a sage’s wizard!! its rare to see caiowe fics focus on that
*ceux qui rêvent • one-shot
SUMMARY: "if you need saving, i'll come running, you know." there isn't a smile on his face, but there's something glimmering in his eyes, owen notices. "i'll be by your side, owen. i told you i would be." 
TAGS: spoilers for 1st anniversary story, fluff, light angst, comfort, owen singing, trust, mutual pining, true love right here...
NOTES: i could literally go on and on about this fic its perfect and i love it so much. highly recommend
*the heart of a ghost • one-shot
SUMMARY: “a moment of silence trapped both of them, with nothing but the faint sound of the music seeping through the cracks. a slow but beautiful song meant for lovers, its tranquil tempo highlighting cain’s erratic heartbeat. maybe cain would get blasted off the balcony and would end up ruining arthur's gardens below, but the proposition so easily rolled out of his tongue like it had been kept safe somewhere, tentatively waiting.”
TAGS: fluff, romantic ballroom dancing, mutual pining, soft vibes, i always imagine a pink evening sky when reading this
NOTES: this fic is amazing omg.....made me feel like i was the one pining
*a farewell, to all woes I was meant to sow • one-shot
SUMMARY: “cain decides to confess to owen everyday until he gets a proper answer.”
TAGS: character study, owen-centric, angst, they both go on a mission to the north, first kiss
NOTES: the sequel to “the heart of a ghost”!
*everything is a western wizard’s fault • one-shot
SUMMARY: “every time he waved at owen and tried to approach him, owen scowled and cast a teleportation spell right away, leaving a mystified cain behind. bradley and mithra also seemed awfully keen on gifting him alcohol and inviting him out to drink, both with knowing grins on their faces. just what in the world happened last night?”
TAGS: fluff, mutual pining, the wizards drinking in the lounge, cain being a little dum, flustered owen, humor, so cutee
*a moment of peace • one-shot
SUMMARY: "owen scoffed, ignoring him. 'o so brave mister knight got bit by one of the poisonous spiders in this area. isn't it hilarious?' yet owen's voice seemed to lack any humor. cain thought it was quite soothing when owen talked so close to his ear, like a whisper. or maybe he wasn't thinking straight anymore.”
TAGS: established relationship, fluff, cain sleeping on owens lap and owen singing to him....real disney princess moment
*there's nothing for the sky to offer • one-shot
SUMMARY: “don’t go,” those words slip past cain’s lips before he could think, like a plea he had been holding back, a phrase he failed to swallow down his throat and bury deep inside him where no one can reach. just like that day. their eyes meet, a mix of blazing ruby and shimmering gold, a blend of conflicting desires that neither of them understood, remaining at the tip of their tongues to rot. and almost like a moth drawn to a flame, owen stays.
TAGS: prose, relationship study, set around winter holidays (festive season), spoilers for 2nd anniversary story, mutual pining, i love the vibes of this fic, also the yearning here....... 
NOTES: deadass this fic made me cry like. its not even supposed to be sad but the writing was just that good
*bittersweet • one-shot
SUMMARY: “i’m saying that," his voice is unusually quiet as he continues, "i have two eyes, but there's only one of you.”
TAGS: the mortifying ordeal of being known, emotionally repressed owen, confessions, first kiss
*lent lily • one-shot
SUMMARY: “owen has never been one to indulge in emotional desires. except for when he's around the knight.”
TAGS: character study, developing relationship, fluff, comforting hugs
*kiss with a fist • one-shot
SUMMARY: “of course i know how to dance, you dumb knight,” owen scoffs, taking cain's hands off the sage and grabbing his wrists.
TAGS: developing relationship, romantic tension, owen is good at waltzing
crisis mess • one-shot
SUMMARY: “the day after the tree was set up, the sage furthered owen’s misery by announcing what they called a secret santa.”
TAGS: secret santa, light angst, fluff, i especially liked the restaurant scene it was so cute, they care about each other......
la di dah • one-shot
SUMMARY: “the courtyard is a good place for singing and dancing.”
TAGS: fluff, dancing in the courtyard to happy music, friendship, set before 1st anniversary
my dove • one-shot
TAGS: owen transforms into a dove to visit cain, fluff
irreplaceable • one-shot
SUMMARY: “what cain could remember about his very first impression of owen, even before the attack started, was laying his eyes on the man and some part of his brain telling him very clearly that’s a corpse.”
TAGS: cain’s pov, developing relationship, character study
behind these golden eyes • short drabble
SUMMARY: “owen always hated the color gold.”
