Caroline sighed as the excess water from her cloth drained into the bowl. This had become part of her weekly routine at this point. Another blood-stained cloth from another incident was beginning to form against William’s blood-stained lips. Why, oh why did he insist on getting himself into these battles when the results were always the same?

She had to admire his willingness, though. He dared to try, and he was brave to do so, knowing the insane individuals he would meet up with could (and most likely, would) cause him harm. She just wished that they didn’t. Some small part of her wished he would give up - try something new. She was tired of this weekly occurrence, and her heart broke for him when William would look at her with defeated eyes once more - another attempt to cure the mad failed.

“I’m sorry,” William winced, the cut on his lip stinging from the cloth. As much as he tried to hide the thrill of, dare say, even speaking to Caroline, the guilt of her practically becoming his nurse carried deeply. “You should be with Robert, not cleaning up a failed alienist. But you are kind enough to do this, no matter the appearance I show you every week. Thank you, Caroline.”

Despite Caroline’s ashamed thoughts of wanting William to step away from this, even just for a day, she knew that isn’t what he needed to hear right now. He needed reassurance and she was more than happy to provide that - no matter the type or repercussions.

“William, as your friend, it is my duty to care. You are so brave and what you do is extraordinary. Besides, I like taking care of you.” Caroline’s eyes met William’s and locked for a second too long.

There was always something whenever these meetings occurred - a tension too sharp. Inappropriate thoughts ran wildly and freely in Caroline’s mind at even hearing William’s determined voice. She wondered if it was ever the same for him.

Have images such as her’s ever dared to preoccupy his mind? Has he ever touched himself? Touched himself to the thought of her? Did he ever imagine the words that would be spoken into her ear, as he would run his hands down her form? Too scandalous for words, would he care that she was taken by Robert? Or would that set jealousy within - causing him to want to prove how good he could make her feel; the pleasure he could bring by his praise and worship, and the most delicate yet precise touches to the most intimate part of her body?

William’s voice brought Caroline back to reality. “Are you okay?” He asked, concernedly, “You seem to be in deep thought, Caroline. I hope my injuries haven’t disgusted you.”

It was then that she was reminded of the fight he and Harold got into during the fake trial. How helpless the crowd was; how she was. How he was. The shouting and flailing around on the floor. The punches; the gasps. The bead of blood on William’s lip that was slowly appearing by the sheer force of Harold’s outburst…

“Caroline? Caroline, are you quite alright?”

“Yes!” Caroline cleared her throat and straightened up, the continuous bending down starting to ache her lower back. “Yes, William, I am fine. Your injuries haven’t disgusted me at all. Are you turning into a mad man too?”

William chuckled at Caroline’s joke. He appreciated the humour at this embarrassing and painful time, but he also noticed a slight sense of falseness. “You seem to be a little red. Are you feeling well? Would you like me to observe you? It is the last thing I can do, I can assure you.”

Caroline went back to the bowl to soak the cloth once more. “I was just thinking back to the trial. The pure lunacy of the man! You looked so…” She tried to contain herself and her thoughts. She didn’t want to skip too far ahead to what was a frightful time for William, but God, a gorgeous mess for her. “...helpless. When Harold pushed you onto the floor and hit you. The blood…”

“Yes, it wasn’t the best sight, was it? How embarrassing of me to think I could help.”

Caroline finally squeezed the excess water back into the bowl once more, but this time, placed the cloth onto the table. She faced William and walked back to him. While attending to him, Caroline was careful not to clean up everything so quickly. She bent down again and slowly traced her finger across William’s blooded lip.

“Caroline, what are you-”

She tilted William’s chip up with her other hand, making sure his eyes were only fixated on her. On her mesmerised face. On her finger with his blood.

William’s knuckles turned white by the act. He shifted but didn’t dare to look down, as though to dismiss the shiver he felt by this new intimidating position he found himself in. A gulp came next because should he speak, he was scared of the outcome. The thought of the noise he would make sent him deeper into his perplexed yet newly founded submissive state.

“Mm, yes.” Caroline turned her attention to her blooded finger, while still holding William’s chin with her other hand. “What is it I called you earlier, William?” She circled her finger with her thumb, spreading the fluid. “Helpless?”

Caroline faced William again, the most stunned expression greeting her. She finally dropped the hand at his chin and William breathed out deeply.

What just happened? What was Caroline up to? He was stunned. He tried to compose himself. William remembered his blood was still on Caroline. His face shot up, not knowing where to begin.

“You-”

“Poor thing.” William gulped. “Oh, don’t be so nervous, William. I’m not going to hurt you.” Caroline bent down once more, but this time, made sure to get as close to William’s ear without raising suspicion to the public.

“I have a blood kink,” She breathed into his ear.

Those words sent William insane. He tried to say something, anything, but he found his throat closed up and dry; the air nearly knocked out of him by Caroline’s statement.

Caroline returned to her standing position. With only the face that could only be described as enchanted, adorned by William, she decided to take it one step further. With hesitation, she looked around, almost as if to see if the coast was clear. She locked onto William’s eyes once more and slowly put her blooded finger into her mouth. William was in a daze; hypnotised, even, by Caroline’s action. Every movement she made with her finger until his blood was on her dominant tongue was tracked by his eyes.

William was out of it. He thought this was a dream. He thought he would wake up and have to take care of things. But what Caroline did next proved to be the opposite.

With one finger now licked clean of William’s blood, there was only her thumb to go. This new found confidence Caroline had was now desperate to be shown. With less hesitation this time, she quickly glanced around, and returned her gaze to William.

Quickly and quietly, she placed her thumb onto William’s lower lip. “Open up,” She whispered. Without even realising what was happening or what he was doing, William opened his mouth and felt Caroline’s thumb in his mouth. His blood in his mouth. Caroline’s thumb, with his blood, in his mouth. He ought to find it disgusting. But he was entranced. This feeling was foreign, yet he loved it. He couldn’t help but emit a strangled whine from his throat; he prayed Caroline didn’t hear.

After she was sure the rest of William’s blood was gone, Caroline slowly removed her thumb from William’s mouth. “There we go. Thank you for being so good while I cleaned you up, William. I’ll see you tomorrow, yes? Try not to get into too many fights before then. Otherwise I may just have to clean you up again.”

Perhaps this comes out as klaroline bashing? This is all canon events but lmk if people want this in the anti tag. Anyway, I get it's fanfiction, but I'll never understand why writers make Cami/Hayley straight up bitches - and I hate this word - in klaroline fanfics.

Some people act as if Camille or Hayley actively went out of their way to sabotage Klaus's relationships, which it's just dumb. This man was literally screwing Genevieve, a woman who played a part in Kieran's death and who was nothing but mean to her, yet Cami was still kind and nice to her, and honestly Hayley couldn't have cared less about who Klaus dated (and like, usually writers make Rebekah and Caroline best friends, so it's insane she hates Hayley for the hybrid thing yet absolutely adores Rebekah who was nothing but rude to her).

Camille and Caroline would not hate each other if they met, be for real now. Caroline didn't only show no interest in Klaus, she was aware he slept with the same woman he thought Tyler had been unfaithful with which just proves her more he has close to no respect for her but she also said she never felt herself around him, so why would she ever hate someone who is quite literally the embodiment of kindness because of a man who who always hurt her? Hayley and her had problems of their own, but knowing the personalities of Caroline and Cami they wouldn't hate each other over a guy - Caroline is more likely to slut-shame her if anything, but that's another whole conversation.

Anyway, Cami, Hayley and Caroline have always been too hot for Klaus Mikaelson.

Hey do you have any literature recommendations for people who want to broaden their knowledge on the classics and Greek/Roman myths without taking university courses?

So like for people (such as myself) who have read Bullfinch's Myths of Greece and Rome and Edith Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes but want to deepen their knowledge and maybe go to intermediate level type stuff. Or whatever the level above the mentioned literature is.

Well those two books are quite old and skip over quite a few things. Both are very important to our culture, historically, but I'd recommend reading through some more modern popular retellings like Stephen Fry's Mythos series if you're looking for pure entertainment and a dummy's guide to Greek myths.

The Penguin Dictionary of Classical Mythology is a useful reference book if you have difficulty keeping track of all these names and whatnot. It's just a reference book but you know. Having a reference book handy is quite useful. I personally prefer reference books when it comes to checking stuff when I'm doing mythology things anyways. They're generally more organized than the internet.

If you're looking for entertaining retellings of less popular myths, I'd actually recommend going to videos and podcasts for that. YouTubers like MonarchsFactory, Overly Sarcastic Productions, Jake Doubleyoo, and Mythology & Fiction Explained are all people who do a lot of research themselves on the myths they retell and I would recommend all of them to basically anybody. As far as podcasts go, Mythology & Fiction Explained has a podcast version and Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! is a very informative podcast that talks about sources for the myths and has interviews with experts on the subjects. It's also a podcast that is specifically Greco-Roman based.

As far as doing slightly more in-depth research, I cannot recommend theoi.com enough. I really can't. It has overviews of the most common myths, it has pages about god and hero cults, it cites it's sources and has an online library of translated texts. It's just really good. Go clicking around it for a while. It's a lot of fun if you're into that sort of thing.

As far as primary sources for myths go, there's a few places you could start. The Iliad, perhaps. The most recent English translation is by Caroline Alexander but I personally prefer Stanley Lombardo's translation. The Odyssey is a more accessible read in my opinion if you're not used to reading epic poetry. Emily Wilson's translation is especially accessible, written in iambic pentameter and generally replicating Homer's simple conversational language.

The third traditional entrance into the epic cycle of the surviving literature is the Aeneid. The newest translation of that is by Shadi Bartsch, which is pretty good, but it reads more like prose than poetry. Would still highly recommend it though. Robert Fitzgerald's translation is also good.

If you wanna get fancy you can read the Post-Homerica which attempts to bridge the gap between the Iliad and the Odyssey. It's not often read but it's one of the latest pagan sources we have from people who still practiced ancient Greek religion.

If you want a collection of short stories from ancient times, Ovid's your guy. Metamorphosis is specifically Roman and specifically Ovid's fanfiction, but it's also a valid primary resource and Ovid generally views women as people. What a concept!

Though I think the absolute best overview from ancient times itself is The Library aka Biblioteca by pseudo-apollodorus. Doesn't matter what translation you get. The prose is simple to the point where it's difficult to screw it up. Not artistic at all. It is, quite simply, a guy from ancient times trying to write down the mythological history of the world as he knew it. It has a bunch of summaries of myths in it, and most modern printings also have a table of contents so you can essentially use it as a reference book or a cheat sheet. I love it.

The Homeric Hymns weren't actually written by Homer but that's what they're called anyways. They're a lovely bit of poetry because, well, they were originally hymns. They've got some of the earliest full tellings of the Hades and Persephone story and the birth of Hermes in them. They also provide an insight into how ancient people who were most devoted to these gods viewed them. Go read the Homeric Hymns. They're lovely. You can buy the Michael Crudden translation or you can read a public domain translation online. I don't care. Just read them.

If you're into tedious lists, the next place I'd recommend you go after you read all the fun stuff is Hesiod's Theogony. Hesiod, the red pill douchebag of the ancient world, decided he was gonna write down the genealogy of all the Greek gods. That means lists. I'm not exaggerating. Be prepared for a lot of lists. But this work also has the earliest and one of the most complete versions of the story of Pandora, the creation of humans, and the most popular version of the Greek creation myth. So, it's very useful. If you can take all the lists.

The Argonautica aka the voyage of the argo by Apollonius of Rhodes, is also here. That is also a thing you can read. About the golden fleece and whatnot. And Jason. You know Jason. We all hate Jason.

Greek theatre also provides a good overview of specific myths. The three theben plays, Medea, the Bacche, etc. We've only got thirty-something surviving plays in their entirety so like... look up the list. Find one that looks interesting. Read it. Find a performance of it online, maybe. They're good.

If you want to dive into the mythology as a religion that was practiced, Greek Religion by Walter Burkurt and Ancient Greek Cults: A Guide by Jennifer Larson are pretty good books on the topic and often used as textbooks in college courses.

If you wanna get meta and get a feel for what the general public today thinks about Greek myths and what the average person that's sort of knowledgeable about Greek myths knows, the books you already mentioned are good. That's what people usually read. In addition to those, most people's intro to Greek myths generally involves The Complete World of Greek Mythology by Richard Buxton, D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths by Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire, or The Percy Jackson series.

I've been flipping through the big stacks of mythology books I keep on my table trying to remember if I've forgotten anything but I don't think I have so, yeah. Hope this helps. There's no correct starting point here. Once you get started there's a nearly endless void of complications and scholarship you can fall down that you'll never reach the bottom of. This post is basically just a guide to the tip of the iceberg.

I just remembered you haven't seen Twilight but I'm going to ask anyway! Do you know what teams your characters would be? Like team Edward or Team Jacob? Oh! Actually I'm also curious what Fandoms would they be in? I recent realized im a Bielieber

oh i have seen the first twilight movie!! i just wasn't a fan. but it was my best friend's favorite series so i do know a lot about it! was anyone actually team jacob? he's like gale in the hunger games. the only reason anyone would actually prefer them is because they're Not the main love interest (sorry to any galeheads out there...)

anyway now i want to imagine what fandoms each of them would be in, so:

🎭 caroline: well, she's a great artist and a monster fucker.. i don't think i have to spell out what she was doing online fjkjsdsj and she loved comic books as a kid, so i feel like at the start of the MCU madness she was really hype and then she got more and more angry with the state of things

💬 beth: she's written some star trek fanfiction more highly researched than her master's thesis and she loved nsync because what is a baby dyke without her emotional support boy band / comphet crushes

🎸 danny: music is the obvious answer, but i'm not familiar with musical history so i can't go into detail 😭 but his dad introduced him to bob dylan and taught him how to play guitar, then he learned piano, then he taught himself how to produce his own music from scratch. this was in the 90s btw so it wasn't very easy to learn. also he used to seriously follow skateboarding

⛅ mikaela: she loved old school country music from female artists like tanya tucker, reba mcintire, loretta lynn, etc. she's less interested in modern country but she looooves shania twain. and she's worked nights (first as a bartender, then a nurse) for most of her life, so she got really into daytime soaps

🌲 asa: he's literally the only one on this list where i'm like...... stumped. he doesn't pay attention to anything online, celebrities, music (he'll listen to whatever), movies (doesn't care), could never commit to watching a whole tv show, etc. he's very floaty and daydreamy? lmao he just doesn't have the headspace to get attached to fictional media like that

🎥 finn: we know he's always been a harrison ford fan boy and in any universe where he survives past the 80s he's a huge nirvana fan!! (if he and jules had a son, they would've named him kurt... he's deeply serious) he's also read every stephen king book that came out while he was alive. he was a big reader in general, particularly horror

🧸 stevie: canon seth rogen super fan, has seen every adam sandler movie (every last one of them) and i knowww she knows the fnaf lore... as soon as she finishes a show/movie she likes to find the weirdest fan art to terrorize her followers. also loves musicals and wants to see cats on broadway someday (a girl can dream)

🎀 elaine: she loves following celebrity news but she watches them like animals in the zoo; ie. she's observing from afar, she has no personal stake in them. she's a frequent flyer on gossip forums like fauxmoi. she was on the ground floor of lipstickgate and was SEATED for dramageddon. and she had a serious twilight phase

🎨 jada: SOMEONE on this list had to get assigned supernatural... i'm not saying it just to say it, i really think she would connect with (early seasons) sam what with the dead mom... fear of losing their humanity... having powers they don't understand... a hot girl manipulating them to use their abilities in sketchy ways... yeah. i'm sure she has favorite contemporary artists (painters specifically) that she'd be able to talk about on end but sadly i don't know anything about that world 😭 oh and she's kind of obsessed with hate-reading booktok books to feel alive

🏈 casper: sports count as fandoms and i don't want to hear a word about it!! his team is the patriots but he's kind of a fairweather fan (maine doesn't have an nfl team so he doesn't have that state loyalty factor). miley cyrus is his problematic fave forever but he's kind of a pop girlie in general

💋 coco: in high school she was a speedcuber if that gives you an idea of what we're working with here.... she grew up with pokemon, naruto, dragon ball z, she collected trading cards, etc. she still likes anime and video games and stuff, she just doesn't have the time to get invested like she used to, and it makes her sad because it reminds her of her late best friend liam. she makes time to play fortnite and minecraft with his little brother and she plays other games on twitch sometimes. has done a LOT of cosplay. she's a huge nerd basically

My Own Personal Sunshine - Jake Seresin and Bradley Bradshaw Fanfiction

A/N: So.. this fanfic is basically a competition between Jake and Bradley and who gets to be with the reader. (Nickname: Sunshine) and you guys get to help me decide.

After the Uranium mission, the whole squad kept in touch, including Penny and Mav. Penny had mentioned to them that there was a new bartender and new entertainment at the Hard Deck that they would have to check out when they came to visit. So when Jake and Bradley got the opportunity to come back as instructors, the whole team that could, came back to celebrate. I was finishing up with soundcheck at the Hard Deck right after we opened when I saw a group of about six people came barreling in the door. “Penny!” I saw one yell. She left her spot behind the bar to hug the tall man, him having to bend down to embrace her. I stepped off the stage and she motioned for me to come forward. “Y/N, come over here, there are some people I want you to meet!” I saw one head turn in my direction quickly. “Y/N? As in Y/N Y/L/N?” I nod my head, turning in her direction. “Natasha Trace? Is that you?!” She scoffs and pulls me in for a hug. “Well, that’s one less person to introduce you to..” Penny laughs. I pull back and look at Penny, “I’m sorry, that was rude of me, who are the rest of these friends of yours?” “Well, this is Payback, Fanboy, Bob, Hangman, and Mav’s nephew, Bradley, or Rooster.” I shook each of their hands and smiled at them. “I’m Y/N, the new bartender. Penny was nice enough to take me under her wing.” I heard the bell at the counter ring and sighed. “Well, that’s me. Make yourselves comfortable and I’ll come get drink orders here soon. That includes you Penny.” I shoot her a pointed look. “Go catch up, it’s Sunday night. I can handle it for a bit.” She nods and follows them as I make my way over to the bar, serving the customers that are waiting.

“So, what do you know about the new girl?” Hangman asked Penny. She scoffs, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?” He shakes his head. “Need to know how to approach. She single? Looking?” Penny just shakes her head and shrugs as Bradley makes his way over. “Hey Pen, good to see you. It’s been a while.” She nods, catching up quickly with Bradley. When I finally made my way over for drink orders, they took it easy on me, all asking for beer, and Penny wanting a basket of fries, knowing she was closing. “When did you guys get that stage in front of the piano?” Bradley asked. Penny chuckles, “When we hired Y/N. She’s a performer and likes to put on small shows here too get some exposure and practice.” Bradley nods slowly, Natasha came over to Penny and side hugged her. “Thanks for getting her all set up here. She looks the best I’ve seen her in a while.” Penny nods and before anyone can ask questions, makes her way to the bar. “Alright Y/N, time to go sing your heart out, and it looks like you’ve got some new people eager to hear you.” She pointed to the front of the stage where the aviators stood, waiting for you to take the stage as your band warmed up. “Thanks Penny, that totally doesn’t help the nerves.” I say, untying my apron and smoothing out my top while making my way to the stage.

I took the step up to the small stage and gave my band a smile as I took a deep breath and stood in front of the microphone stand. “Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and aviators,” I say, smirking at Nat, her smiling at me. “So let’s start off our night with something we all know and you all request this one often, Sweet Caroline.” I made my way back closer to the band to count off and get started. When the intro rang out, I turned to the crowd, who were surprisingly enthusiastic for a Sunday night. When the chorus came around, the entire crowd sang along, but the loudest were the aviators in the front row, enthusiastically shouting, “BUM BUM BUM” every time I held the mic to them. I got a pretty big laugh out of it at the end of the song when they were cheering and I could hear Nat over everyone. At some point during my set, I watched Rooster walk to the bar and talk to Penny, get a drink and make his way back to the stage. I surveyed the crowd, feeling a pair of eyes glued to me, but not seeing anything at that time. I finished my last song when one of the patrons spoke up. “When are we getting originals? We know you’re writing!” I laugh and grab the mic, laying a hand over my heart. “I’m honored that you asked. I AM writing and have one almost done. Do you guys wanna hear it when it’s done?” The entire crowd stood and cheered, causing me to blush and laugh. “Okay, okay. When it’s done, I’ll see if Penny is okay with hosting a special event to launch the song. That’s the best I can do you guys!” Penny spoke up and winked at me, “I will! Just let me know when.” “Well, that settles it then. Thanks again ladies and gentlemen. Have a good rest of your evening!” I stepped off of the stage and Nat greeted me with a hug and a smile. “Sunshine, I didn’t know you could sing like that! That was incredible!” I just shook my head and thanked her. Rooster came up next to us and handed me a glass. “I asked Penny, she said this is your drink of choice.” I thanked him, blushing. “I usually don’t drink when I’m on the clock but I’ll make an exception,” I said, winking at him and sipping on my drink. I could still feel someone watching me from a distance, but I figured it was Penny since I was with her- Mav’s- nephew. I made my way back to the bar shortly after and Rooster and Nat sat at barstools so we could catch up. Penny let me off early so I could go play pool and hang out with Nat which I appreciated.

We stood around the pool table nursing our beers while we asked questions to each other. “So, what made you decide to move back here? Last I knew you were at Pendleton.” The question I had been dreading. “Oh you know, change of scenery. Nothing too crazy.” “Wait, Camp Pendleton.. so you’re a military brat?” Hangman asked. I was gonna clear my throat to reply but he spoke up before I could. “Daddy’s money wasn’t good enough, so you came here to scam some other military boy that would impress daddy into marrying you while you drive around in your Mercedes and flash your designer handbags and shoes at everyone while you try to make a name for yourself?” I scoff and down the rest of my beer. “Hangman, that was uncalled for. You don’t even know her.” Rooster said. I looked at Nat, “I think I’m going to go. It was good seeing you again.” I gave her a piece of paper and was about to make my way out when I felt a little hand tug on my pants. “Mama! Mama! Can I go see Miss Penny? She told me to ask if I can have some ice cweam!” My stomach dropped as everyone’s heads fell to the little girl a my side. I bent over, picking her up and placing her on my hip. “Hi, baby girl. Yes, you can. But we are going to leave soon, so one scoop. I’ll watch you while you walk back to Miss Penny.” She nodded her pigtailed head and kissed my cheek. I watched her every second until I watched her until her hand intertwine with Penny’s. I turned back to Nat who I knew was about to ask me, “You have a daughter? Where is her dad?” I sigh, “Yes, that’s her, her name is Sophia but she goes by Soph. He’s not in the picture. My parents watch her while I’m here and it’s not ideal because she’s up so late but my day job doesn’t allow for much else.” I shrug and gather my things, telling her and Rooster goodbye. I gathered up Soph and made my way out the front door, to my little blue four door Malibu I’d had for ten years. I got Soph in her booster seat and turned to shut her door when I noticed that my tire was flat. I shut the door and fell to the ground. I started to cry, frustrated by what Hangman had said, them finding out about Soph sooner that I intended, and my stupid flat tire. I don’t know how long I sat there with Sophia in the car asleep but there were soon a few shadows standing over me. “Hey, Y/N, honey, get up. Let us help you.” It was Penny, Rooster, Nat, and to my dismay, Hangman. I wiped my tears quickly and stood. “I-I don’t have a replacement or I would’ve changed it already and I don’t have the cash to have it towed…” I hung my head in shame, upset to ask for help. I never asked for it even when I needed it. He always made me feel like it made me weak.

Rooster and Penny looked at each other and Rooster spoke. “I’ll give you and Sophia a ride home. Don’t you worry about that.” “And I’ll call Mav. He can tow the car with my truck and he’ll take it out to the hanger and give it a tune up for you.” I just nodded, knowing better than to fight. “Roos, you’re supposed to be my ride..” Hangman said. “Dude, there’s enough seats. Get over it.” He rolled his eyes. I got Sophia out of the car and held her while Rooster got her booster seat installed in his Bronco. I sat her in and he got her buckled in. “How do you know how to do that so well?” I asked. “I have nieces and nephews. Why don’t you crawl in the back with her and I’ll get you a milkshake on the way home. It’s the least I can do.” I just nodded and gave him a hug, thanking him before getting in the car. I sat next to Sophia, brushing her hair out of her face and giving her a kiss on the forehead.

The next day, Nat texted you inviting you to something called “dog fight football” that the squad was having on the beach. It was a beautiful day and a great day to get Sophia out, so you agreed. You met them at the beach behind the Hard Deck and set out towels for you and Sophia. Nat made her way over with Hangman beside her. He looked.. smaller than before, almost like a scolded puppy. “Hey, Y/N, Bagman here has something he wants to say to you. I’ll leave you to it. If it goes badly though,” she turns to him, “I will hurt you.” She turned to walk away, joining the rest of the group of aviators. “Listen, I owe you an apology. What I said at the bar last night.. that was uncalled for. I’m not usually like that, I promise. I’m sorry. Can we start over?” I looked up at him, using my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. “Then why were you like that? What did I do to deserve that?” “Nothing. I’m sorry.. I just-“ he stops, licking his lips before continuing, “I’ve never met a girl that me speechless at first glance.” My jaw almost dropped at the admission. I cleared my throat, looking over his shoulder, seeing Rooster making his way to me. “Yeah, we can start over, Hangman. Thank you for apologizing.” I smile at him, watching as Soph made her way to Rooster. “Woosta! Woosta! Up!” He picked her up and she giggled, laying her head on his chest and I sat there shocked. “Sh- she never does that. She doesn’t like strangers.. especially men. Wh- wow.” I saw Hangman look between us, and walk away toward Nat, but I wasn’t paying much attention at first talking to Rooster. “Game time!” We heard Mav yell and Rooster made his way over to the game. I gave him a smile as he handed Soph over, peering further down the beach looking at Hangman and Nat. They were standing almost chest to chest laughing at something as se placed a hand on his arm to shove hi lightly. My stomach lightly turned at the thought of the two together. Shaking my head as we made our way down the beach to watch the game.

'If you're the type of person to double tap edits of Josh O'Connor's glistening thighs in Challengers, or the kind of fan still favoriting clips of Andrew Scott's Hot Priest "kneel" command, you may have recently been led down another digital path: Celebrity-centric audio erotica.

A relatively new phenomenon pioneered by audio erotica apps like Dipsea and Quinn, actors have taken on the role of smut narrator, much to their fans' delight...Most recently, the Hot Priest himself recorded a three-episode story for Quinn portraying a queen's guard with unresolved feelings for a fiery rebel...

Caroline Spiegel, Quinn's founder, hopes the platform can use celebrities and horniness for celebrities to remove some of the shame around talking about sex. "Women and queer people have been trained that talking about their sexuality, talking about sex, talking about masturbation, is not good. Whether it's from a place of purity culture or homophobia or misogyny or slut shaming, it's in [the] way them having a happy relationship with sex," she explained to Mashable. "What's cool about [Quinn Originals] is it's really easy to talk about because you're not talking about sex, you're talking about Andrew Scott, you're not talking about masturbation, you're talking about Jesse Williams and Grey's Anatomy."

The comments on Quinn's social posts reflect those language habits, with fans flooding its pages with requests and comparisons to their other celeb or fictional faves. Following the release of Scott's first episode, Spiegel posted a TikTok video, captioned, "Pitch me on your Quinn celeb casting ​​👀🎧." Spiegel explained to Mashable that this is part of a strategy to find celebrities, and even influencers, who already have built-in "thirst fandoms."

Tyler McCall, the author behind Scott's "The Queen's Guard," explained the levels of fiction and fandom involved in writing a Quinn Original...

When commissioned for Scott's story, McCall said she perceived the writing process cinematically, almost like writing a movie script. And she pulled in a lot of pop culture inspiration, like Game of Thrones and the sixth installment of a '90s PC game called "King's Quest." "I was thinking a lot about Star Wars. There's always a 'Reylo' at the scene of the crime," she said...

Quinn aims to offer a less stigmatized way to explore sexuality for women. Spiegel sees fanfic — which Gesselman's observations backs up — and celebrity crushes as female experiences. "The female erotic mentality is very much around who the person is, and what's their backstory and what's happening. Female eroticism is sort of like a detective. You're trying to figure out: Who is this person? What's happening? Are they safe? Where are they? What's going on? Celebrity culture, the fanfic culture, reflects that," explained Spiegel. Quinn taps into those desires.

There's a sense of safety for listeners provided by discussing sexuality through celebrity. Not only is the fan listener familiar with Scott's voice and has a pre-existing relationship with his work, but the celebrity is consenting to the erotic content and Quinn co-signs it. It's not like the fan-for-fan erotic fanfiction that's produced and consumed on the depths of the internet. Instead, there are multiple faces for Quinn's content, both Spiegel on its TikTok and the celebrity partners.

"Quinn's whole thing is erotic content and historically it has been this very overly graphic, off-putting uncomfortable genre. Our bet is that it doesn't have to be that way, it can actually be something that's talked about over coffee with friends. That's a really mainstream, normalized, happy, healthy part of life," said Spiegel...

With the continued growth of celebrity obsession, technology is changing the availability of celeb fantasy materials to fans. In January, deepfake pornographic images of Taylor Swift went viral on X, spurring a debate about the ethics of AI tech, celebrity idolatry, and the government's role in stopping this harmful content...The rise of AI technology brings a celebrity's — and all of our — right to their likeness into sharper focus.

But if a celebrity can get ahead of this technology (and sometimes even their own fanbase), then maybe they can exert some control — or at least that's what Spiegel proposes. It may explain a celeb's unexpected collaboration with less explicit, non-visual platforms like Quinn. While the site's marketplace of creator-uploaded audios speak directly to the person masturbating, almost like phone sex McCall explains, celebrity-narrated Quinn Originals ask listeners to become a character themselves, distancing users from celebs even further.

"This is a way for celebrities who have this sort of thirst culture around them to say, 'Hey, this is gonna be on my terms. I want to feel empowered doing this,'" said Spiegel. "'I'm acting in this real, elevated piece of art that's also sexual.' Being sexual doesn't have to feel degrading. It's actually a very empowering, cool thing to deal with sexuality. What I think does feel degrading is this AI porn that people make against your consent, or putting words in your mouth, or asking you inappropriate questions."

Additionally, it's not just that the celebrity is consenting to a Quinn Original, but consent itself is a major theme of all Quinn audios. Spiegel aims to bridge the gap of a topic that she sees as underrepresented in erotica. "[Consent] is a really hot thing that feels in line with the story," she said...'

15 - Picked A Death Wish

Part 16

Her Life Means Everything

@mrs-fanfiction-2001 @the-big-bad-klaus

Stretching my arms above my head I winced a little, blinking the sleep from my eyes. Rolling over onto my side I hold myself up on my elbow against the pillows grinning at the sight of Klaus sleeping peacefully beside me. "It's rude to stare, little human." He mumbled not opening his eyes until I started running my fingers through his curly mess of hair.

"Last night was better than I could have imagined. Thank you for that...and I love you." I mumbled, pushing my hair around even though it was a knotted mess.

Klaus shifts leaning forward kissing me for the first time this morning. Wrapping my arms around his neck I deepened the kiss until I needed air. He rests his forehead against mine vamping out and back into the room with the glass mixture yet again. "If you're a good girl and take this we can get to the fun much faster." He smirked, tilting his head to the side.

"Klaus, you're driving me crazy right now!" I groaned burying my blushing face in the pillows until he vamped over, shaking the glass in my face where I stuck my tongue out. "Fine. Only if I hear the words first."

He hands me the glass vamping over to his side of the bed again with loving eyes. "I love you too, Maddie Forbes."

Tipping the drink back I sat the glass on the table climbing on top of him about to kiss him until the doorbell. Klaus throws his head back cursing to the ceiling. "Bloody hell!"

"I'll get it." I poked his chest throwing on one of his shirts and my jeans from last night. Opening the front door once walking down the long staircase I gasped seeing Damon. But he vamped forward covering my mouth with his hand before I could say a word. I thrashed against his hold not noticing that my ring had slipped from my fingers before he shoved me inside the cellar in the boarding house.

Klaus's POV

Vamping down the stairs I heard the ruckus from seconds ago. Bending down immediately I grasped the small object in between my fingers knowing something was definitely wrong. Maddie's matching ring with her sisters is something she would never take off by choice. Vamping back upstairs I shoved the phone up to my ear needing help from the one person who cares about her as much as I do. "Caroline, Maddie's been taken. I need you to bring your witch friend and help me...please."

Pulling on a grey long sleeve shirt I heard her vamp inside the house no less than 30 minutes after my phone call with the Bennett witch in toe. "How the hell did you let her get captured? I told you that if you hurt her I'd hurt you!" She scoffed, stomping her foot on the floor showing me her vampire fangs.

"Can you yell at me later, Caroline. Right now Bennett, do a locater spell on this so that I can get my love back and seek vengeance on the rif raf who took her!" I threatened the girls not wanting to waste another second.

The witch stood at a table candles circling her ring, already chanting the words then glancing over to us. "She's at the Salvatore house with Damon."

Maddie's POV

Damon wrapped another chain around my wrist so I was chained to the floor staring up at him. "Damon, why are you doing this? We're friends and in case you don't already know Klaus will kill you for this." My hair falls in front of my eyes when I hang my head down.

"I'm aware, Little Forbes twin. But you see I want him to stop trying to kill Elena and according to your sister you seem to be the only thing that can convince that psycho of a hybrid to do anything." He spoke bending down on his knees trying to compel me. "When you see Klaus again tell him he no longer wants to kill Elena to make more hybrids and will leave us all alone."

Shaking my head I begged him thankful in this moment Nik's been giving me Vervain too. "Damon, please let me go. I have done nothing wrong and I'm not gonna abuse my power on him. I love him."

"You love him but he's a serial killer?" Damon spit out his bourbon grabbing my chin in his hands pulling out a key locking the chains around my wrists right before there was a commotion in the living room. He vamped out of the room where I heard arguing before someone vamped in front of me.

"Care, what are you doing here?" I asked in relief as she used her strength yanking the chains off of me helping me to my feet.

She wrapped her arm around my waist where we ran out of the cellar seeing Damon and Klaus fighting by throwing weapons at each other. "Blondie, you're helping him. I thought you wanted him dead" Damon asked ducking as Klaus threw a piece at his head.

"Yes Damon. I am because she's my twin. That comes first!" My twin scoffed before holding her behind for protection.

Damon launched a stake at Klaus who snapped it in two vamping him harshly into the wall. "You shall die for hurting her mate. You came after the woman I love. So here's the end to your immortal life!"

"Klaus, wait. My sister's a part of his sire line. If you kill him she'll die too." I saw his hybrid fangs come out where he was about to bite his neck until I remembered something. Pushing myself away from my sister grabbing his shoulder.

Klaus slumped his shoulders releasing his grip on him giving Damon the chance to grab the stake from his other hand attempting to stab him. But he vamped out of the way causing Damon to shove the stake into my chest. "No!" Caroline and Klaus cried in unison as I collapsed to my knees seeing blood rushing from the wound.

My sister rushed forward biting into her wrist trying to get me to drink it quickly but my eyes fell closed and all three vampires could hear the heartbeat slowing...

Cliffhanger ya'll

Comments really appreciated ❤️

[hyperactivewhore]

Some people have this weird fixation about making Klaus choose Caroline over Hope, especially in fanfics. I’ve seen fics where Klaus abandons Hope, or kills Hayley for disrespecting Caroline, or just ignores Hope in favor of Caroline. Like some people forget Hope’s his daughter - of course, he’s going to choose her over everyone. I think any decent parent would choose their child over a potential girlfriend/boyfriend. And Hayley is Hope’s mom, a very important person in her life. I don’t think Klaus would kill Hayley unless she posed a threat to Hope or if she tried to take Hope away from him. Honestly, I don’t think he would even tolerate people openly disrespecting Hayley in front of Hope, regardless of who it was.

Another thing that I’ve noticed is how people are so determined to make Klaus a father figure to the twins, particularly Lizzie. I’ve read a fic in which Klaus clearly and openly favored Lizzie over his own daughter - which would never happen. I think that if Klaus and Caroline actually did end up together, he still wouldn’t be that present in the twins lives. Since he is overprotective to the extreme, I think that he would hold some resentment over how the twins treated Hope in their younger years. He’s petty enough to hold a grudge against a kid. And anyway, I don’t ever see Alaric allowing Lizzie or Josie to get close to Klaus, no matter what Caroline says.

I don’t know… it’s just weird that people keep diminishing Hope’s relationship with her own father to benefit their ship. Sorry for the rambling.

People fail to remember that Klaus is his own person and not an extension of the ships they like, and that ship half of the time is klaroline because they are obssesed with making him her personal puppy, as if that ever happened in canon.

Granted, Klaus said a few nice things to her and did like two good things to make Caroline not feel so guilty about wanting to fuck him, but other than that there's no way he would ever seriously chose her over his family, especially his own daughter. He chose to save her over Rebekah back in Mystic Falls because his sister is immortal, Caroline isn't.

I've never actually read long klaroline/klamille/klayley fanfiction. Sure, I use to read some oneshots from time to time because they have really good writing, but this fanfics I'll talk about best used to show up while I was in the klaus or mikaelson tag and I used to take a look because I was curious. It has some wild elements, that's for sure.

I've seen a lot of fanfics where they make Caroline some weird ass hybrid/tribrid that manages to be a werewolf, witch and vampire all in one and it's like wtf. They complain constantly about Hope's existence because she breaks canon and yet they make this baby vampire the biggest Mary Sue ever. Yes, the producers created Hope because they wanted to create their own magical baby like Renaissance from Twilight, but they make a fool of themselves by making Caroline be anything but a vampire. Caroline was incredibly mean and a complete hypocrite as a human and don't bring me the "she was insecure and always in Elena's shadow" because I'm insecure too and that doesn't make me be a bitch to the people who love me. Klaus was always threatening her whenever she spoke in a way he didn't like, and that was when she was already the "sunshine vampire" people claim to love so badly, so people who think he would even let her live if he met her as a human are laughable.

Klaroline shippers are so pressed about Hayley being Hope's mother, I can't even tell you how many posts, videos and weird fanfics I've seen of Caroline being her mother and being the "Mikaelson's light". I've said it a lot of times, but the Mikaelson wouldn't like Caroline at all: Rebekah and Hayley were constantly slutshamed by her, Elijah hates people who insult/hurt his family, Kol was literally killed by one of her best friends and he would not be okay with that, Finn couldn't care less and Freya probably just heard bad things from her, if she even knew about her existence. And in top of that, Caroline literally threw a party when she thought Klaus died.

When they have any Mikaelson or Klaus, especially Klaus, kill Hayley, I just lose it. Why the hell would Klaus ever do that? He literally lost his mind when she died, he was a mess and they don't even want to admit he loved Hayley: new flash, he did. She was his family, the mother of his daughter, probably his best and only friend and he loved her. Not in a romantic way, but they still get pressed because how dare Klaus have feelings for anyone other than their queen Caroline.

Also, their obsession with making Caroline be called queen? It's creepy and weird, it must be really annoying for them that Klaus only called Cami and Hayley a queen. Those two girls were a thousand times closer to be considered family by him than Caroline ever could, and his siblings did care for those women too.

This reminds me of a really good point in klaroline fics: if Caroline is the one pregnant with Hope, Klaus will react a lot better. I just can't see this, Klaus’s daddy issues are literally the main point of his character. He hated Mikael as much as he desired his love, he always yearned for one of his parents to care and no one did: Mikael, because he was a piece of shit, Esther, because she was terrified of her husband and there's literally no other reason in canon that explains why she allowed Mikael's abuse and Ansel, because he was forced to stay away and was killed twice. That isn't gonna change just because he got Caroline, sorry to tell you.

I can see him reacting less murderer and less threatening. Alkaline covers this so well and it's one of my favorite Klaus fanfics, if he has a romantic relationship with the woman he got pregnant he wouldn't tell the witches to kill her and their baby, but I do think he would still think at first she cheated, not only because of his paranoia but also because he is supposedly incapable of having kids.

The whole Lizzie and Josie thing is really a good point! I agree, Klaus would never favor the twins over Hope or even Marcel. Those are his kids, he raised them and he never met Josie and Lizzie until they were like what, twelve? Thirteen? He even said people needed to ask him permission to even talk to Hope, he would 100% hold a grudge against the Saltzman twins for being mean to his daughter. I also think that the whole "Klaus would like Lizzie more than Josie" is because physically and in terms of personality, Lizzie is the one that resembles Caroline the most. So when writers have him openly prefer Lizzie isn't only weird, it has some uncomfortable pedophilic vibes.

I've only seen klaroline and some klayley shippers say that about klope, how he would love x girl more than Hope and etc. I hardly doubt they even remember canon Klaus, just their fanfic version because if Klaus ever had to chose he would always chose his daughter. I've also seen, in a lot of fanfics, not only klaroline ones, how Klaus would love more or completely ignore his oc kid (they also have Hope he a complete bitch from the start, even if it's her seven years old version) and it's just strange. There are a lot of reasons why Klaus and Marcel didn't have a stable relationship, mainly all the bad blood between them and the fact that Marcel was already grown up by the time they met, but he never hesitated to put himself in danger for him. Klaus even refused to kill him, knowing he was endangering Hope. I just can't see him ignoring his kid, especially if he got to actually see him/her grow up.

This is not bashing to the writers btw! Sorry if it came out like that.

Dear Caroline:

A couple of days ago I finished HPMOR, which I have decided to include as a 'Carolingian' book even if you have never written a review of it or a post about it in your tumblr (there are some that quote it, paraphrase it or hint at rereadings by you). This brings to mind other books I expect you to have read but can find no explicit reference to, like The Precipice, Superintelligence, Doing Good Better or The Scout Mindset.

The book has grown on me. I found the first chapters a tad boring, and had the overall feeling that the whole book was a self-professed nerd trap, with an intentionally flattering depiction of its protagonists as ubersmart kids whom their parents and schools have very little to teach them, and who should step aside and let the younglings achieve World Optimization, and with a Yudkowskian agenda of getting you interested in his pet peeves for saving the world. But even with all that taken into account, it was rather a nice and instructive read. I can appreciate Yudkowsky's popularity as a writer after this.

I am pretty convinced that you have patterned yourself on his Hermione to no small degree, too, and I can appreciate the paralellisms, even if right now you are more of a fallen Hermione. But there's hope, at least in me, that you've be reborn from your ashes like the Phoenix.

I made a short review of Eliezer's book. I'll be including it in the lines below as a conclusion to this post:

This is a VERY long book, so I'd like to start with a short appraisal, and then comment some relevant aspects.

Overall, this is a very interesting read, modulo you being interested in: 1) the Harry Potter world (and fanfics!) 2) Rationalism - detecting human thought biases, rational decision-making, optimization, AI dangers

Okay, let's begin with size: the book is humongous. I read a digital version, so a rough estimate of its over 600k words is War and Peace (shorter, actually) or the Bible. It is divided into 123 (relatively) small chapters.

You can find detailed summaries of the plot elsewhere -or in other reviews- but very succinctly: this is an alternative Harry Potter universe in which Harry was raised up in an academic family and learnt the basics of science and rationality by the age of 11. The story more or less parallels that of the first volume of the Harry Potter series (The Philosopher's Stone), as Harry's first year of school and his dealings with the figures that mostly appear in that book, but with a completely different twist.

In many ways, it is quite a didactic book, as I suspect the author's main intention in writing it was creating a 'light' introduction to Rationalism and its key ideas, and particularly focused for young, intellectually achieving and/or outstanding nerds, as a way of attracting them to the cause. It is a 'nerd trap' in the best sense of the term, and has proved enormously successful in this regard. The main protagonists are 11-12 year-olds who are vastly more intelligent and rational than all the adults, and who therefore manage to save and improve the world much better than their elders ever could.

I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it is to read, although I am probably biased because I am a nerd myself (not a young one, though) and am interested in a lot of the 'didactic' stuff it furthers. I was not much interested in the original Harry Potter saga (watched the movies, haven't read any of the books). It stands pretty well on its own, I feel, but there are many references and intertextualities that really need slots of knowledge of the inspiration material to be understood and appreciated well (conversely, as I said, you can get that from the movies, and particularly the first one). I had never imagined a priori that I would be reading a fanfiction (and even less a +2000 page one), but this book deserves it, and is in that regard as unusual and weird (again, in a good way) as its author.

To conclude: this is an instructive and enjoyable read, which I recommend if you share any of the interests mentioned at the beginning (any of the two will suffice). Bear in mind its huge size, and that it will take you months to read it. The first chapters (the author mentions it himself in a note) can be pretty slow-going. The book, it is important also to say, can be downloaded for free or read online -in fact, I don't think it is easy to actually buy a print copy.

[galvanizedfriend]

i’m still so distressed at how klaroline’s story ended, they deserved SO much better.

in my head he eventually gets brought back (bc if every other character on that show can do it, then so can he) and klaroline get their happy ending with a tour of the world.

I was very distressed when TO ended as well. As soon as the episode was over, I turned on my laptop and started searching fanfiction for the first time since I started watching TVD, and that's how I ended up here. 🥲

But that was five years ago, I've learned to bend canon to my own will. What I willfully ignore cannot hurt me anymore ✨

But yeah, the end of TO makes zero sense precisely because everyone gets resurrected in that family. There's literally an episode where Davina dies and they just decide she's not going to stay dead and find a way to bring her back in less than 24h. Why would they just let Hayley, Klaus and Elijah stay dead? Unless they were 'well, actually... things have gone a lot quieter since they died' which makes perfect sense, actually.

In my world, that's Klaus and Caroline's endgame, off to see the world together (spoilers for The Wolf).

Absolutely NOTHING against these couples whatsoever, in fact I love all of them. But I have no clue how to write any of them. I have tried and every time I feel uncomfortable and just can’t get into a flow, for whatever reason! I also really struggle to write Caroline Graham Hansen, she’s a bit of an enigma to me from a character perspective!

🚀 Do you like to outline your fic first or create as you go?

Outline - always! I’ll give you a tiny method to the madness here lol, here is what a typical outline for a chapter looks like at the end of this! Please excuse my typos and grammar errors - it’s called an outline and not a final draft for a reason lmao

📗 Funnily enough, one of my works I wrote was actually supposed to be a manuscript, but I turned it into a fic instead! It was the high school AU, that was actually originally going to be based off of Tatumn Milazzo and Ella Stevens from the NWSL, but then I decided that I was too scared to try to write an actual book, so I decided not to. I think I’m very worried about having to world build when all of my writing is done in a format where all of that has already been done for me.

But I’ve always wanted to write a book, so maybe one day I will!

🤖 Yes and no. Two of my close friends (and my therapist and psychiatrist lol) know that I write fanfiction, and most of my other friends know that I write, but they don’t know what about. When they ask I just say I write about soccer players, but I think that they think I’m making people up, not that I write fiction about real people. I’ve gotten more open about it over the last year and a half, and a lot less embarrassed! It’s fun to tell people what I’m working on, especially when I’m excited about something.

🏚 🌾 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh this was so fun, thanks for the ask. 

🏚 A fic you more or less abandoned?

I mean see I never mean to abandon any of my fics, in fact I try not to, but like Hidden Escapes is pretty much abandoned. The worst part of it is, I have the entire thing outlined, have sense before I started, I just can’t seem to find the inspiration to actually write it. 

🌾 A fic you really want to write but you haven’t (yet)?

So so many, the TVD Reign AU, the TVD Bridgerton AU, at least a half dozen cannon divergences. But, I have this half baked idea for a Klaroline Quantico AU with Klaus and Caroline as Shelby and Caleb and I really really want to write it, but there are so many things to work out for it to work, and I have so may WIP’s already, its likely going to sit in my TBD box for at least a few years.

🤦🏻 A fanfiction/chapter you are embarrassed about having written?

*Sighs* I mean I don’t think there’s anything on AO3 I’m embarrassed to have written. There were some sketchy things I wrote when I was younger that were at best criminal to the media I based them on. But, I think I would say my story The Secret Second Tribrid is the closest to embarrassed, its just way shorter and less detailed than it should be, and if I ever get my WIP’s down I might rewrite it to make it better.

Wait a minute there. So now that Caroline Forbes is an official character of The Originals does that mean she will be included in the characters in the name section in the filters of The Originals fanfiction in FF.net?

Because if so I may have to start checking that one out too.
