#did i mention hes also PUPPY isnt that amazing i love him so much my dearest angel

[kkupttown]

MY LITTLE KEYCHAIN BOY IS ARRIVED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BOY MY KEYCHAIN!!!! HIM!!!!!!!!! HE CAN DO ANYTHING

[mazeinthemiroh]

[soft thoughts]

- i love the idea of minho being so fragile and sweet to his partner, that his teasing isnt excessive and he just pampers them with compliments all the time

- hyunjin painting a pic of his partner while lana del rey plays in the background.

- jisung being shy receiving light kisses on his bare back

- jeongin constantly linking pinkies with partner when they’re out in public or sitting beside each other.

- chan sucking light, lazy marks on your neck when he’s stressed from working

- baking all day with felix by the time you guys are done, the sun is setting and the light peeks through the curtains while you guys take a nap on the couch in each others arms

- seungmin reading random entries of his diary before bed

- being in an almost suffocating hug with binnie after he comes back from tour and he doesnt let you go and follows you around like a puppy

thank you for sending these in omg i love your soft thoughts so much ;-;

- i've been thinking about bf minho lately and i just think that, ofc, he will be such a sweetheart. people think he's scary or rude but like, be for real... like we all know he's just the biggest softie in the world, he isn't fooling anyone. first of all, he's a cat person. like... who wouldn't trust him? we see the way he handles his babies with such care and love in his eyes. and we see, for certain members, he has a massive soft spot for. obviously hannie; the way he looks at him... that's pure love right there. but also felix and jeongin he is very tender and gentle with. and i strongly feel that the way he treats those member sis very simialr to the way he would treat his s/o. ofc he would be a lot more physically affectionate. i feel like once he's entered that comfortable stage with you there's like no turning back. then he's full fluff mode.

thank you for listening to my ted talk 😚

- BABBEEEEEE you did not just mention lana del rey to me like how did you know i was a fan??? ahh, amazing. hyunjin has amazing taste and we've heard him sing a lana song on a live before with that beautiful voice of his. of course, being the artists he is, your his inspiration, and he would want to paint or sketch you regularly. and to romanticise it even more? queen lana herself, serenading you both with her voice in the background.

"it's you, it's you, it's all for you. everything i do. i tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you~"

- yeah because jisung is such a smug little shit something, stealing kisses here and there. but the MINUTE you catch him off guard - perhaps when he has just gotten out of the shower, towel wrapped around his waist - and trail kisses on his back, his whole body freezes. he feels blood rush to his cheeks as he slowly starts to relax into you touch, letting you kiss wherever you want...

- why are you making me cry okay YES jeongin isn't a massive PDA person but the small things matter most. and there's nothing that gives him more butterflies than interlinking pinkies with you. there's something so gentle and even vulnerable about the act that makes his heart flutter.

- you're making me DIZZY imagine you sitting in his studio (the way every single bangchan ff starts off in) and sitting on his lap while he does his work. but he's getting frustrated and it's late at night and all he wants to do is go home and cuddle up to you and sleep. having you in his arms relaxes him way more than if he was by himself. but sometimes he will feel mischievous and lean closer, a small grin on his features as he lightly grazes his lips against the skin of your neck. he responds to your shivers by getting a bit more heated, lightly sucking on your skin as you lean in deeper... he has you right were he wants you.

- felix loves baking dates and will gladly spend the whole day trying new recipes with you and making delicious treats! but by the time you guys finished, you realise it's dark out. so, what's for dinner? all your cookies and brownies and other goods, of course! you two bask in your amazing baking skills as you cuddle up on the sofa, exhausted and filled to the brim with your own creations.

- seungmin surprises himself when he re-reads things he's written in his diary way in the past. "did you really feel that way?" he mused out loud, whilst you look over at him from the other side of the bed, smiling gently. soemtimes he would read certain entries to you out loud; the ones that aren't too personal and deep. just light-hearted ones that'll make you laugh. or ones about his feelings for you <3

- oh he ain't letting you go. and say goodbye to your lungs because they've gone too. i see chnagbin fully tackle you to the ground in a smothering hug because he hasn't seen his baby in so long?? what else is he supposed to do?? nope he's not letting you go, and so you'll just have to stay pressed up against his chest, big soft arms wrapped around you, and aggressive kisses from every single angle.

[dekusleftsock]

Like good omens? Bc the current climate of bkdk is exactly like what happens with Crowley and Aziraphale. EVERYONE, and i mean, EVERYONE around them realizes they love/want each other in the shortest amount of time possible but not the two guys that have known each other for thousands of years, until like, now and they STILL fucked it up.

DUDE YOURE SO FUCKING TRUE FOR THIS

Good Omens is always a show I knew I would love, but never got around to watching. My friend basically made me binge the entirety of season one a week ago and then I binged all of season two when I got home, and MY GOD. MY GOD. THEY ARE SO MUCH LIKE BKDK AND IT SUCKS.

I feel like this is obvious but Good Omens season 2 spoilers lol.

Aziraphale kinda likes to romanticize the time when Crowley was an Angel WITH HIM. The first scene in season 2 where Crowley and Aziraphale first meet and Aziraphale watches him with puppy dog eyes, all of it reminded me of bkdk’s childhood. And from Izuku’s perspective, it was AMAZING! He got Kacchan all to himself, they were friends, even if he was a bit mean and teased him. But to Bakugou? It felt like Izuku was bullying him, looking down on him. It feels a lot like Crowley’s perspective on heaven. He doesn’t like hell either, but at least they don’t care how things get done, just that it’s done.

AND LIKE, AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS I KIND OF SEE IZUKU AND KATSUKI HAVING. Losing your sense of identity in the obsession of the one you love, it fucking happens! There’s this post about Crowley and Aziraphale’s relationship that puts this into words so well, and it feels very them, yk? Bkdk feel so so much like the type of people who could get so attached to each other that they lose what makes them, them.

AND MAYBE THATS A STRETCH, BUT YEVAISBISHSISHSHJSB

When togachako’s relationship is built off of your individual senses of identity (who therefore feel a lot like Maggie and Nina in this equation tbh), and bkdk’s is built off of the fact that you’ve never had a point in your life where this person HADNT existed, then you can see how that can turn into a problem—especially for their relationship.

Bkdk is a slowburn built off of a fear of rejection, much like Crowley and Aziraphale. Because if this person ISNT in your life, then who are you really? What makes you, “you”? What makes us, “us”?

Is there really space for “you”, in a sense of self built on “us”?

ALSO AZIRAPHALE SAYING “I FORGIVE YOU” AFTER THAT KISS BROKE MY FUCKING HEART RVEINSUSVSISBUS

Their miscommunication in both bkdk and in Aziraphale/Crowley is so so bad and yet so so relatable why is it like that good lord.

I think what I liked most about season 2 was when Nina made the comment that “everyone else’s love life always seems so much more straight forward than your own”, AND IF THAT ISNT BKDK/TGCK THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS LMAO

Oh yeah and the coffee theory is dumb. It very much makes sense for Aziraphale to take the offer that he did. He has said time and time again that heaven has the good guys and hell has the bad guys, there’s just individually good and bad people in both. He has always wanted Crowley to be a part of heaven again, he literally always mentions how Crowley “was an Angel once”.

Aziraphale represents the cult-ish mentality that Christianity can be. He wants to believe that there is a higher power that doesn’t agree with the things angels do and don’t do, because if that isn’t the case, then every belief he has ever been told was built on a lie.

Heaven negates it’s flaws by simply believing that there are individually flawed angels and not that the larger system itself is a problem. This is why metatron says this in his meeting with Gabriel and the other high ranking angels. Gabriel cannot fall or there is a systematic problem, and so long as there isn’t a systematic problem, he will simply be dealt with in the cleanest way possible.

It’s all a capitalism metaphor. If Aziraphale is good enough, if he believes in god and her plan, if he believes in the good Crowley has in his heart, if he believes that a fundamentally flawed system can be changed for the better, if you can somehow work hard enough for your company, you will be rewarded. You will be praised. You will be seen as a person who deserves recognition because you worked hard enough.

But you never work hard enough. There is no plan. There is no infinite peak. It’s just you, in an infinite universe, trying to guess some plan that will never be comprehensible.

LOOK IM OF THE BELIEF THAT GOD HAS HAD NO HAND IN ANY OF THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING, EVERYONES JUST MAKING IT THE FUCK UP. 

This got so far off track bc I have good omens brainrot dear god.

dating timothée headcanons

a/n: here is my first timothée fic !! let me know what you guys think !!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send in some requests for him !!! hope you guys enjoy :~)

timothée is such a soft boy in a relationship

he loves when you say his full name but also loves the many nicknames you have for him

when you first call him timmy or tim he looks at you with the widest smile, engulfing you in a hug as you squeal

you call him by his first and middle name when you’re upset at him or you need him to be serious

he sends you so many memes all the time or if you’re close to him he’ll call you over to look at his phone sometimes he’ll just call your name and throw it at you

he loves cuddling

he will cuddle you on the couch, in your bed, in a chair, literally anywhere

he loves when you play with his hair !!!!!

you could just be sitting there and you start playing with one curl, then another, and soon enough your whole hand is cascading through his soft hair

he loves kissing you !!!!!! cheek kisses, FOREHEAD KISSES, nose kisses, neck kisses

sometimes he’ll just grab your hand and kiss it and tell you how much he loves you

when he’s home he spends every waking and sleeping hour with you

“I’m gonna go shower” “I’ll join you :-)”

grocery shopping with him is way too much fun

you guys would probably make jokes out of anything you see and get things you most definitely did not need

he takes so many pictures of you :-(

any moment he sees you just breathing “don’t move stay like that” and boom, new lockscreen

he gets all blushy when you compliment him or show him off

one time you learned how to say something in French just to impress him and he damn near cried because you went out of your way for him

one time he catches you using duolingo to practice your French and he had to calm himself down before he burst into tears

you found him teary eyed in the hall and proceeded to comfort him thinking he was sad, you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry with him when you found out why he was about to cry

did i mention he is v v clingy

flowers all the time ,,, out getting a snack ??? he’ll buy you some flowers ,,, sees a bush of roses on his way home ??? he’ll pick one to give to you

he could be thousands of miles away and you hear a knock on your door,, the boy ordered flowers online for you

when he’s away acting you guys FaceTime ALL THE TIME

you both fall asleep on the phone together and you always tease him for sleeping with his mouth slightly open

he always leaves you a bottle of his cologne so you can spray it when you miss him

also he leaves you all of your favorite shirts of his so you can wear them all you want

you guys watch the office together all the time and you get him into your favorite tv shows

sometimes you get insecure because you feel like you aren’t good enough for him or you don’t meet up to standards

and he will shoot you down so fast

he’ll comfort you and say all the right things to make you feel better

sometimes he’ll just hold you close and kiss you all over until your giggling to make him stop

which ends up in him posting you everywhere and showing off his darling

and he shows you just how much he loves every inch of you too

if you ever feel insecure he can immediately tell and he starts to reassure you and do whatever you want to make you feel better

you guys always walk around town and find new places to eat and try food

you found a secret park that no one knew about so you always have picnics when he gets back from filming or when you wanna go on a cute date

anything you mention to him as an offhand comment he’ll buy you

this boy absolutely SPOILS you

one time you mentioned how you wanted a locket and the next week he surprised you with one

another time you saw this ring that was pretty and you immediately took it back because it was much too expensive for you and two weeks later ??? it was sitting on your dresser

you find it endearing but you also get upset because you don’t want him to think you’re using him for money

so of course when you bring the box out he has a giant smile on his face and you look at him, slightly upset and he pulls out the puppy eyes

“Timothée Hal Chalamet how many times have i told you to not waste money on me!” You scolded him and he looked so sad

“any money i spend on you isnt a waste i just wanna see you smile” you can’t help but smile at his comment

“do you not like it?” he would get so nervous and play with his hands and you would go and sit next to him, putting the ring on the table.

“honey i love it i just don’t want you to think I’m using you for money because I’m not” he would kiss you and give you a small smile because god how did he get so lucky with you?

he has so many cute nicknames for you- baby, honey, sweetheart, darling, angel, mon amour, ma cherie and so many other soft little names

the amount of inside jokes is insane

it’s no secret that the boy is an absolute goofball so the two of you are always making jokes

that leads to having way too many nicknames that have such an intricate back story

you try to teach him how to properly do the woah but he refuses to learn because “I’m doing it right, it’s everyone else that’s wrong” he would defend

for Halloween you would do couple costumes 1000%

instead of going out to party he would want to stay in with you and give out candy, he loved seeing you smile at all the kids and fake being scared when they tried to scare you

the two of you would watch scary movies all of October, he would always hold you tight as the two of you slept because sometimes you would get a little freaked out

the first time you meet his family is during thanksgiving and you are NERVOUS

you do your makeup and wear your best jewelry and even do your hair a bit so that it looks nice than usual

when you walk out of the restroom all dressed up timmy is speechless bc of how good you look, he kisses you on the cheek and takes so many pictures of you, setting one as his lockscreen right after he takes it

his mom LOVES YOU she thinks you’re the sweetest person in the world

she asks if you know French and you whip out the little French you had learned, thanking the green owl that was on your phone

timothée is so impressed by how well you can pronounce everything, it doesn’t go unnoticed by his family either, everyone praising you and you can’t stop blushing

they end up threatening timmy because they love you so much

and then he meets your family

they love him so much they never want you guys to break up

your siblings adore him, your mom is absolutely in love w him and your dad thinks he’s so eloquent and carries himself amazingly

he gets along so well with your whole family and has everyone at the table laughing with his stories and comments

when your mom sees the way he helps you with everything or how gentle he is with you she knows he’s gonna be the one you marry

the two of you watch the nightmare before Christmas all the time since you both love it so much

you sing along to every song and laugh as he stands on his tippy toes to try and imitate jack

for Christmas time you guys always try to see who will give the best gift

of course you love to see the lighting of the tree and so many snowball fights all the time

even more cuddling because oh my god it’s so cold all the time

timmy always knows exactly what to get you and he always writes you a letter which makes you cry

you also get him something meaningful and amazing which makes him tackle you with a hug and kiss you until you’re out of breath

the two of you are always so supportive of each other during anything and everything

timothée chalamet would be the worlds greatest boyfriend and you cannot tell me other wise

Gale Reviews: Miraculous World: New York

(The following review contains spoilers, and if you would like to not be spoiled, I would recommend watching the episode before reading)

(I had to pause a LOT to get through this special)

-Oh s*** Cosmo bug and Astro Noir. That is so cool.

-Okay maybe its my audio, but their voices seem a bit deeper. No big, just something I noticed.

-Okay the yellow flower was cute. Good on you kitty.

- Also, side note. This is very nice animation. Very crisp.

- Marinette is moving on... kinda. Well, she is trying. Its not easy getting over someone you have a thing for. I guess that means Miracle Queen did happen and I will need to suck it up. But.... I am not moving on yet either.

- The puppet show was perfection. And honestly on par with what you would expect from middle school projects. (I almost thought it was the adults showing them and was like WTF)

-BACK THE F***. Madame Bustier is PREGNANT! PREGNANT?! I am so lost? What is the story!? Who is the father! Is she married? Is it artificial insemination! Is it the principal?

-Adrien so moved by Marinette’s outburst of Friendship. Marinette ‘Just a friend’ Dupain-Cheng is going the Tia Gardner method of friendship. Lol

-Marinette ready to fight and Gabriel just like ‘Yea sure whatever’ (Gabriel’s smile murders puppies)

- Kagami trying to cheer adrien up. If you love adrigami, get that juice. (That looked like a kiss kiss, but the angle seemed off, so I am not counting it that way.)

- Kitty Clicker is wonderful. This entire scene is gold.

-  Gorrilla doesnt like planes, poor baby

- Plagg, you are a devious little s***. I love you so much. As a writer, his dialogue on how to convince adrien is so devilish its amazing. Using technicalities to tempt adrien.

-Lukanette shippers get your juice... even if it was still tainted a bit by Adrien inclusion. You still get a kiss.

- Okay, can we appreciate that Adrien is also having the same amount of trouble as Marinette moving on, but also include Guilt into the equation? I love this because you KNOW Chat noir is going to get an ear full later.

-Marinette has totally moved on from Adrien.... Oh my poor sweet little girl. You havent. You havent even a little. This ride is litterally the reverse of Startrain and its amazing. Alya is NOT helping. Also, give the person that drew Marinette’s Daydreams a f***ing raise. They earned it

-Marinette pulling herself OUT of the situation. Now adrien is slightly bummed out. Well i am sure that this is the last awkward experience with Adrien she will have. It isnt like the two of them will get lost in NY together... thats whats gonna happen isnt it?

-Marinette walking past all the couples sleeping together. JULROSE GET YOUR JUICE!!!

-Ah yes, nothing like watching the sunset with your good friend. Yes, you good pal, Adrien. Who is Just a friend. Wow, the realization that Marinette used the word friend in this movie more times then Adrien did in the entire series so far. (Or at the very least close)

- Adrien, STOP! Marinette is trying to move on from you! Stop making it so damn difficult for her. (I am not serious, i am eating this s*** up like Sushi)

-Nino confirms he loves Adrien. ADRINO COME GET YOUR JUICE! But yea, I feel alya and Nino’s pain. So they are going to help them both.

-Adrienette hugs. Yes, good.

-And thank goodness for Techno Pirate! Saving everyone from awkwardness by trying to bring down a plane... thats heading for NY...

-OH SWEET! BATMAN RIP OFF AND Captain Marvel rip off! And their sidekicks, Robin rip off and... Medusa girl? Okay Neat.

-Jokes aside, Majestia and Night Owl are boss as hell.

-Wow, I know that Ladybug and Chat noir got powerups now. But these United Heroes make their powers look so bland in comparison.

-Get rekt France!

-ADRIEN! DONT USE YOUR PHONE ON AN AIRPLANE! Well, unless he is using the in flight wifi, then he good.

-How come New York has a f*** ton of superheroes in this universe? America really gets all the cool stuff regardless of what fictional universe your in.

- Why are the superheroes so keen on watching over Marinette’s class? Do they know? Do they know Marinette and Adrien are there? Or is it like they just want to prevent an international incident. PLEASE LET IT BE THE LATER.

- I have only had Aeon for 15 seconds and I would violently murder anyone who harms her.

-Oh my Sabrina! GET YOURSELF AN AMERICAN BOY! ... And Chloé is going to ruin the fun. Oof tough break roomies.

-The entire class! I cant even! Not even a second after the door closes they out to party on the roof!

-Aeon, “See? They are made for eachother!”

- Damn, now that’s some guitar playing! Plus Her design is boss as heck. America really just has better versions of EVERYTHING.

-American boy basically snuck in to see Sabrina! GET IT GIRL!

-HOTDOG SUPERHERO! WITH MAGIC HOTDOGS!!!!!! BEST NEW YORK EVER!

-Nino and Alya be tag teaming this!

-Wow Zag, you stuffing me full of Adrinette goodness. Gorilla is a beautiful sunflower.

- Marinette and Adrien havent been in the US 24 hours and they already have two shippers of them. Also, what do doors have against them?

-Jess is Shipping it too hard. “Lets put them in danger!”

-Jess is having way too much fun with this.

-Hawkmoth akumatizing an actual Super villain. FINALLY!

- “Wouldn’t you rather have an Atomic Bomb?” I love Techno pirate.

-”Super Heroes should never use their powers for personal gain.”  Hmmm I wonder how this will back fire on everyone involved.

-”OH S*** HE STOLE THEIR CANNONS! BOOM GOES THE CANNONS!”

-Okay, I take back what I said, these heroes need some Miraculous asap.

- Ladybug is 100% justified in being angry with Chat Noir. It is his fault.

-AEON!!!! NO!!!!!!! Okay, guess i have to kill that techno pirate, and Chat noir

-MAJESTIA IS F***ING PISSED! WRECK HIM MAJESTIA!

- Seems they really hammering it in that Chat noir f***ed up. They right though, but at least Ladybug isnt angry enough to agree that Chat noir should give up his miraculous to some rando. FLEEING FROM THE LAW!

-So lucky charm can only fix damage due to specific villains. It cant fix things when the villain is gone or they are out of range. I always knew it had limitations, but damn. Chat noir REALLY screwed the pooch on this one.

-Adrien no! Oh s***! He cant just... I mean.... He can but...

__________

-Gabriel stole the Eagle! The Kwami of Freedom. The irony is so delicious here.

- So night Owl and Sparrow are both chick with Masculine superhero appearances. Thats actually pretty damn smart, great way to keep people off their identity.

-Welp, i am depressed. Adrien doesnt have Plagg.

-EVEN THE PRESIDENT IS A SUPER HERO! AMAZING!

- So an akumatized person can USE A MIRACULOUS WHILE AKUMATIZED! WHAT THE F*** THATS AWESOME. Also why didnt catalyst do that?

-Gabriel actually getting adrien out of there while before s*** hits the fan. That is actually kind of a decent parenting move. Granted he is going to cause it, but appreciate it.

-Marinette the bike thief is back! And she is an international criminal!

- She tried so hard. Welp I am glad that Marinette is clearly over... actually no. This trip made that clear.

-Liberation, Wow. That is the most American power I have ever seen. I LOVE IT.

- Okay, so I never thought i would say this. maybe there is such a thing as too much freedom? Or at least Freedom that lets you impede on Other people’s freedoms.

- I know what Zag is up to, and it is working. I want a tv series Of Jess and Aeon. They are wonderful.

-So Majestia can casually move the moon. Yea, thats amazing and terrifying! I love her.

-Quantum masking! So there is a glamor effect! I knew it! So Aeon knows who ladybug and Chat noir are.

-DID I F***ING MENTION I WOULD MURDER FOR AEON!

-aeon will never see Tikki or plagg. Thats so sad.

-At least Adrien learned an important lesson.

-Cute LADYNOIR REUNION

-The was clever, using the keychain

- Eagle jess is epic.

-and Majestia can catch missles. Considering she can move the moon. Not surprising.

-OH DAMN, Night owl and Sparrow are LEGACY HEROES! Thats like the Phantom, Or like Jojo.

-That was sweet of Marinette and the class.

-Oh so the guardian of those miraculous came back to claim it.

-But now sounds like the set up for a new series.

____________________________________________________________________

Overall, I did greatly enjoy this movie. Though there were times i wanted to know more, and times I wanted to know less. I know this takes place sometime during season 4, but the exact time is vague. It did tell a really cool story. It felt like a three episode saga combined into one. It was kind of interesting. And damn the drama was higher.

I give it a 7.5/10.

I would rate it up there with my favorite ML episodes.

[nightmaretyrantvantas]

 Ok guys its finally finished!!

Introducing the last two main families in my anxciet au!

Please meet the princes

The Prince family

( from left to right)

Rebecca Prince

The boys’s Mother, goes by the names Mother, Ma, and Bec-bec

Her and Diana have been married for 7 years at this point, and been together for about 10(they met and started dating on and off since high school until they got back together permanently during college)

Punk mom punk mom punk mom punk mom punk mom-

She raised roman on her own for his first year before remus was born, in which she started dating Diana again more seriously

She majored in nursing and later in  sociology in college before dropping out to take care of her boys and raise them right

Shes currently going back to school for the sociology degree inbetween her current job

She works as nurse and receptionist at a doctors office in town

Shes in her mid forties current time( where roman is 22, remus is 21, and kingley is 14)

Shes a pretty tough love kinda parent, and doesnt mind rough housing with her boys when they get too out of line and rowdy( they all enjoy the playfullness of it)

But compared to Diana she is not the scary when angry parent, and she can actually be pretty lenient with the boys depending on the situation

She also tends to be the one who gives into their requests and in kingley’s case, puppy eyes, though she puts on a tough front when she does

Rebecca is such a softie for her family I just i cant she loves them so much

She makes dad jokes just to annoy and embarrass her sons, but only makes either classic dad jokes or purposely really bad ones

100% supportive of her older boys’s relationships, and loves to tease Roman about Patton all the time

She also enjoys building things, and helped build the play structure and treehouse that are in the backyard.

Shes probably the reason Remus has no filter, as she has little filter herself

Her hair is naturally honey brown but she dyed it recently to make a statement to a shitty coworker so currently her hair is purple blue and pink

Shes usually pretty reserved around anyone thats not her family, so its a bit of a shock when people see her playful and rowdy compared to her reserved, professional front

Remus prince

The middle child at 21 but hey he can (legally) drink!

Wild feral trash man no matter what, but now hes got a switchblade and two brothers hed fucking kill for( though he wont admit it about roman)

Hes dating Logan and shows a slightly softer side to him only, and hes ride or die with his boyfriend

He tried college but it didnt suit him, so he ended up dropping out and instead getting two part time jobs: one as a vet assistant and one as a bartender, both located near his current apartment

Hes been best friends with Ethen for as long as he can remember, they grew up together and he considers Ethen a brother practically, and remus would probably be in a bad place without him and Remus recognizes this

He has a love for theater and acting that he shares with his older brother Roman and was in pretty much every school performance growing up, and even majored in theater for a bit when he was in college

He also writes alot of original short horror stories 

Hes an adrenaline junkie and loves doing reckless things for the fun of it( usually dragging Ethen or Logan along with him)

He doesnt have a youtube channel of his own but he pops up frequently enough on Ethen’s channel when joining him for explorations that Ethen’s subscribers know him well, and love seeing him in videos

Hes only got two filter and their names are Logan and Ethen 

He wants to get a snakes as pets just as much as Ethen but Their apartment has strict rules 

That did not however stop him from bringing home a in rehabilitation small fresh water turtle home from work one day, and its the only exception to the no pets rule because Remus fought tooth and nail over the fact it was part of his JOB DAMMIT HES KEPPING THE TURTLE IT NEEDS CONSTANT CARE--

ahem. anyway the turtles name is Sir snappy and he adores her

He LOVES teasing both his brothers, even if it means getting teased back he can usually take what he dishes out

usually.

He also has a drivers license but does not currently have a car as he is trying to save up to buy a motorcycle 

Kingley “King” Prince

The youngest of the family!! The also the shortest!!

He goes by the nickname “ King” and has for a couple years now

Hes fourteen and hes very upbeat and cheerful!

Hes also one of Andy’s best friends( He isnt crushing on andy dont listen to remus) and theyve been friends since second grade

Did I mention that they have sleepovers as often as they can? Because they try to. Usually King, andy, and Liam are nearly glued to the hips unless they cant be

Hes got a wild imagination and lots of ideas that he loves to share and try to put out as songs, stories, drawings, etc

He has severe ADHD and takes medication to help him narrow his focus more, as well as to keep his energy levels more consistent so he wouldnt be hugely energetic in the morning and dull and falling asleep by noon. But the medication doesnt effect his creativity sometimes it even helps boost it because he can focus better on his ideas instead of getting too many ideas at once to focus on and work on

His hair has blonde highlights in the winter and looks nearly fully blonde in the summer

Hes got his mama’s caramel brown eyes and tanner skin, as apposed to his ma’s more peachy skin and green eyes

This boy loves to wrestle and roughhouse, hes got alot of energy that needs to be ran out by bedtime and what better way then wrestling his older brothers for the tv remote when they visit? Or playing games at the park or in the backyard until the sun goes down 

He also loves to sing and draw, he can usually be caught humming and you can find doodles all over his homework and school assignments

He also got braces when he was 12 and he loves them and always gets new colors for them as often as he can convinces his parents to agree to

Roman Prince

The eldest brother at 22!

He works at the local theater as a theater tech and assistant director and also performs in a good chunk of the plays put on as well

He loves his job, especially when they put on musicals

He has a college degree in directing and one in music composing

Hes known his boyfriend patton since they were kids since their families are really close, 

He also writes his own short plays and stories that are sometimes performed at his work!!

Oh and this boy our boy roman can cook, hes learned all his cooking from his parents and absolutely loves cooking and learning new recipes and experimenting with old recipes! He also brings extra food into work to share with his coworkers and the actors in case someone doesnt have food with them or the money to buy something( as some of the workers there are broke college students or high schools trying to get experience) He and Patton share this hobby and sometimes have playful cooking competitions in their kitchen!!

Hes got a huge dvd collection that fills tree shelves of a bookshelf in their apartment 

He also holds some acting lessons to younger workers at the theater in the case someone is struggling with a role or performace

Roman is also a very smooth motherfucker in the romace department when he wants to be. Hes romantic and pays alot of to little details and goes all out for date nights, whether theyre at home dates or going out dates he tries to make it as perfect to you as possible

Also he speaks spanish and likes to sing to Patton in spanish to swoon him on a bad day

Diana Prince

The boys’s other mother! Goes by Mama, Mum, and baba

Shes in her late thirties early fourties

did I mention theyve been married for years? I did? Good good

Diana is a blunt sweetheart with a bubbly, snappy personallity and a fiery temper

Shes really good with kids and has a degree in child psychology and works as a guidance counselor at the local high school

She also helps out at their neighborhood’s church with events and sometimes helps with services as an organ player

She plays piano and has been since she was young, she can also play the guitar

She absolutely adores her family but watch out if they break a rule or get themselves into trouble she is the stern one and does not let them get out of trouble. Puppy eyes are wasted on her you do the crime you do the time and the extra chores no arguing.

That is not to say that she wont listen and hear her boys out though, its just normally after hearing them out theyre still in the wrong( pray for remus is he ever got arrested for anything cough cough the homecoming incident cough cough)

Shes been friends with Emile since high school and sees his boys almost like her own, and cares for them as such. 

She speaks spanish and told Roman and the others from a young age, but Roman is the only one who kept with it strongly, Remus only uses it when he angry and King is still learning

Shes an amazing cook, on par or even better than Emile( a statement that has been yet to be confirmed)

She is also a confirmed lover of making big meals 

She loves being outdoors and playing with her kids

She also enjoys doing embroidery as a relaxing hobby

And lastly introducing...

The Daniel family!!

(from left to right)

Olivia Daniels

Logan and Liam’s mom! Shes a psychology professor at the local college! 

Shes been going by the name Olivia for about 16 almost 17 years now and shes never been happier!

Olivia is technically their step mother, as she joined the family after Logan and Liam were born, but very early in their lives( Logan was 10 and Liam was three)

shes in her mid thirties

Her and richard have been married for 12 years and are still going strong!!

olivia is more of a gentle soul kinda person, shes peppy and softer spoken and has a very soothing and trusting presence to her. Shes easy to make laugh and loves making people smile

She also enjoys bringing treats to her classes for her overworking students

Shes not much of a cook but she does try dammit

Looks super sweet but shes a force to be reckoned with if you fuck with her children let me tell you

She wouldve made an excellent therapist had she gone into that field, shes good at listening and offering solutions

She also paints in her spare time!! And sells her paintings at local art shows!!

Shes got the worst sweet tooth ever Richard has to hide sweets in the house

She also works at the same college Logan attends, same with his father

Shes the only blonde in the family with green eyes

 Logan Daniels

Out sassy skeptic! He’s 20 years old and currently attending college with a biology major and a astrology minor!

Hes pretty reserved at first glance, being the calm and common sense to both his best friend Virgil and his boyfriend Remus

But hes such a dork when you get to know him. He could go on for hours and hours about his interests(something Remus loves listening to)

He lives in a single person dorm on campus and works in the student union as well as does tutoring sessions for high schools for extra credits

Hes been dating Remus for a good four almost five years , and they met in freshman year of high school

His dorm room is covered in various posters for astrology and bands he enjoys, as well as a few old theater posters from Remus’s old performances

He was  goddamn punk during high school, and Virgil loves to bring this up to embarrass him

He likes to always wear business casual unless hes staying in, and even then sometimes he keeps to his fashion habits a little too hard

Hes a decent cook, but he doesnt refuse the offer of someone else cooking for him either( or even going out to eat now and then) 

Hes a very large and firm skeptic and greatly enjoys debating with virgil different aspects of his beliefs and paranormal experiences, and functions as the one between them to reason away happenings with logic as a way to ease Virgils nerves. 

But he IS willing to see his best friends side of things if he is provided solid proof. 

He also makes plenty of appearances on Virgil’s channel for a variety of reasons, and his fanbase really likes him

Hes also a very protective older brother, and is not afraid to verbal destroy anyone who hurts his little brother(much to Liams angsty horror) 

He does have a car that he put Remus on his insurance for, so if his boyfriend ever DID need to drive it he would without complications

Logan also does join the boys on explorations, though this is a more rare occurance as he’d rather help them edit the videos and put them out in a timely manner

Hes pretty good at managing his student budget, but he has those moments of splurging randomly for things( as we all do sometimes)

Hes got a really REALLY nice laugh that not too many people outside his inner circle have heard

His eyes are a dark blue just like his dads, and he keeps his dark brown hair messy but practical

Liam Daniels

Logan’s baby brother! Our boy is 13 years old!!

Hes andy’s other best friend, and the final link to their little trio

Hes the more stoic of the three, as he is entering his rebellious angsty teen years a couple years early. 

He loves space and the ocean, and wants to be a marine biologist someday.

Hes not the best at being social, thats why hes got King as their talker and hes the snarky fighter

This boi is alot fiestier than he looks but only his friends and family know that, and he will throw down if you even just look at his loved ones the wrong way( despite his height)

He doesnt always get social cues either which makes him come off kinda rude in situations but I promise he doesnt mean it 

Someone got his mothers sweet tooth but cant have too much sugar because it messes with his body too much

like when he crashes from a sugar high he crashes hard and its BAD

Hes the shortest of his friends, just barely half an inch shorter than Andy

He always looks half tired and like he needs coffee but he cant have coffee so...

he loves to read and his room is filled with so many books!!

He also has a stuffed animal collection but shush about that its a secret

Hes also a spicy food lover( at least to a point, nothing too extreme) 

He likes baggier clothes because theyre more comfortable, and he prefers comfort of fashion

His eyes are a brighter blue and he keeps his hair alot neater than his brother’s

Hes also very snappy, with a comeback for almost everything

Richard Daniels

The dad!! He works as a chemistry professor at the college and a part time physics teacher at the local high school( switching days)

Hes very tall at 6′2(compared to the rest of his family)

He looks really strict but hes surprisingly laid back about alot of things( though rules and discipline are NOT one of those things) 

He is in his early fourties

He took care of the boys on his own for logans first ten years and Liams three before he met Olivia

Hes got the scolding parent look and The Tone mastered and sometimes even uses both on his students to get them to behave, with wildly successful results

Hes very logical and skeptical of things “unrealistic”

Was a stressed out stick in the mud before he met his wife, as he was a new single father trying to secure tennure in a teacher job

Hes the cook in the house, and is really good at it.

hes a more silent understood supporter of his children, as he is much more reserved than his wife

But he as the biggest soft spot for her 

He always tries to raise his boys with a strong balanced set of values and manners

He also can play lacrosse, and was considered the best player back in school

He doesnt have a good relationship with his family aside from his mother, so the boys have only met their grandma on that side, as he doesnt want any toxic mindsets or ideals influencing his children( especially Liam)

compared to Olivia  he isnt soft spoken at all but he would rather dissolve issues with communication and clarification, not anger or violence( yeah LIAM)

He also enjoys watching documentaries and doing casual photography from time to time

And its finally done!! All for families are complete and posted!!

Im really proud of these!! Especially the prince family photo! It took me days to figure out the poses...

man

lifes bittersweet

and im gonna go on a rant? but like, a happy one???? idk man

ill put it under a cut or somethin

uh warning for like trauma mentions, if you skip the first half which is all like solid paragraphs you should be able to move right over it.

okay, so for a summary of my life real quick, and this will be p quick...

born, had no dad, lived in DC when 9/11 hit (like, walking distance to everything, IN the city DC), gained a marine dad, moved around on bases a lot, found out that im autistic and have adhd, bullied a lot in school, moved around more, got two sisters, bullied OUT of middle school, re entered a new school, bullied there too, and tHEN my memory actually starts, cause i started existing in hs?

hs also sucked though? and i was abused and became a csa/grooming victim but only online so i feel weird even taking that label, but i AM one in the end? and was so young somehow??? tbh its worse than im putting it but this is the quick version. was abused more emotionally/verbally, physically threatened at home and bullied in school right? almost lost our house too cause we were MAJORLY BROKE. Like, SUPER badly broke.

We get out of there, my mum actually gets our dad to knock it off, i fail out of hs because they changed the grading rules MID-YEAR and didnt tell me until it was too late to fix my grades for it.

cue mental breakdown, which included losing the ability to read for years, and trauma processing, etc etc. this also includes me becoming disabled, because prior to that, i actually wasnt???? i had some issues, but i wasnt disabled. now i am.

got a service dog, the dad ruined that too because he scared him a lot as a puppy and when we finally got to get him to Stop Doing That, it was too late. then the dog gets attacked twice. in home service dog only i guess now.

and then i realise, “oh fuck wait i have did”

forget about it for a year, realised/remembered it like last year and finally start doing some work with the system, finds out ive basically been fronting for like, 10 years straight at this point. only this year managed to let alters other than Fae front more, because i knew about Fae for years? but i didnt know he was an alter?????? look im dumb okay its fine.

anyways.

point is that like, i dont REMEMBER most of this? this summary type shit is what i remember, and then everything else is either a blackout, or just... blurry.

like theres some details and whatever but its mostly just snapshots, and then before hs theres even less blurry and less snapshots and its mostly just black space.

but.

im here?

like, were all here.

my system, we made it. and were alive?

like, none of us thought wed live to 20 but here i am at 24 and im actually usually happy????

its not been EASY at all, but like... i dont know?

my systems my family and i adore them more than i can put into words. the ‘scary’ ones? love them. im not afraid of them because theyre here and in our system with me and are here to help. ones been helping for longer than ive existed, like??? thats amazing? good job???? fuck.

anyways.

we werent doing okay for a long time, and then we split a lot during trauma processing pt.1 because like. no therapist. i dont recommend doing that btw dont trauma process without a therapist its not worth it.

but like.

a lot changed and i know i split shit and lost some of the memories i used to have. i KNOW that happened, because i remember remembering things that i cant recall now.

which is a weird feeling but im sure you get it.

but like.

im glad we did? like i get it. and i know that some of those alters dont front much/at all/ever anymore, but i think theyre still in there somewhere... and i love them?

theyre great. and they helped us a ton.

and two of the alters that split from that (or the trauma before maybe? idk) integrated and the result is another alter (and a completed fragment) and theyre both amazing too???

i know a lot of people complain about getting more alters or splitting or fragments and such but i just...

i dont know. maybe im just really fucking lucky... and i wouldnt put that past this tbh. but i dont mind it? we function a ton better like this, and its... so nice to see them be able to interact with people?

also theyre both introjects who LOVE interacting with others alters from their source and like

its so nice to know theyre here and happy and found the people they love again?

and i have feelings on introjects and i know theres a lot of drama going on for some reason but like. a part of did is that your relationships from the beginning of your life arent stable, right? and these introjects, they not only have those relationships in theory, but they managed to find them again?? here and now?

they have what we werent able to before, and im so happy for them and theyre delighted about it and its just...

idk.

im really happy sappy and emotional and i just am kind of writing a love letter to my system right now i guess.

cause we made it. were here and tbh this year? sucks ass. the past four years have sucked ass. a LOT of shit sucks ass. but we’re still here. were standing and fighting and enjoying life and just...

one of the alters who integrated is the one who managed to stop us from being suicidal, because he convinced me that like... “if you hate your life, that means youre not enjoying it. so, if youre not having fun, its not a life worth living to you. so have fun.”

and that was life changing for us?????

for ME?

and hes Honey now and honey is joyous and enjoys life to the fullest

but the other alter who made up honey wasnt able to do that.

and now they both are? as honey?

and thats fucking amazing????????? like????

i dont feel like i lost either of them. theyre just Honey now. and hes loving life???

i mean yeah hes got a full range of emotions now which means he can feel sad and angry while the others has more limited but like... isnt that better?

isnt it so much better to feel those?

it feels so much less shallow when youre overjoyed when you know what sorrow feels like. its so much deeper because theres that bittersweet tinge of “it wasnt always like this”

and i think thats what im getting at.

it wasnt always like this.

and it wont always be like this.

but we made it this far...

so i want to keep going.

heir!svt // kim mingyu

♥ fluffy and just a teensy bit angst if you squint

♥ 2.1k words

♥ summary: your inability to cook managed to get yourself a chef as a boyfriend

mingyu was a natural model - photogenic even with whatever he was doing

eating a bowl of ramen?? gorgeous

even he sneezes so charmingly

except the fact that he covers his mouth with his hands and continues touching up wonwoo's hair

and jun just looks at him with this disgusted look on his face

and somehow no one has the guts to say it to his face that he's sometimes really unhygienic

anywAYS

everyone in the school would agree that kim mingyu would still be able to make it into the fashion industry even if he wasn't the heir to his mother's modelling agency

although his mother's agency was ranked one of the best, mingyu has never spoken a word about his background

he didn't have to either because everyone already knew

who wouldnt know him if his mother was one of the most famous models in south korea during her time??

but even with all the attention he received, he was stil a humble bubby who loves his friends and cares for them

even if the 12 of them had maids and chefs to cook their meals, they all agreed that mingyu's cooking was one of the best

it just had the warm homey feeling yknow

and that warm homey feeling is like a tight comfy embrace whenever he sees his friends enjoy his food

and after some time, cooking for them and feeling like he was on cloud nine whenever they made those surprised and happy noises with mouth full of food

it clicks that maybe mingyu didn't want to continue the legacy of being the next top model of south korea

maybe he just wants to own a restaurant where he can cook food that makes people happy

but whenever he tries to bring up the subject, he just sucks it back in and never mentions it

because he knows how much his mother cherishes her career and his possible one if he wants to continue her legacy

and making his parents upset is the last thing he wants to happen

so for all his years up to high school, he never mentions his actual dream and keeps it to himself

that's until he meets you

in the kitchen room alone with a very messy apron and a very bad attempt at cooking spaghetti bologne

and mingyu was just passing by to get his home econs book because he needed to study for an upcoming test

but seeing the frustrated look on your face

and the way your fingers gripped the edge of the table

pushes him to greet you softly and offer help

and your just stunned because kim mingyu is talking to you

even if you guys share at least 3 classes, the both of you never really exchanged words because you guys have completely different friend circles

you preferred to blend in with the crowd than unintentionally stand out which the 13 boys became accustomed to

but mingyu pulls you away from your thoughts as he throws the burnt pasta into a bin and start everything afresh

even if you wanted to feel hurt from seeing your hard work in the trash, you couldnt help but accept the fact that it was literally inedible

"you dont mind if i see the recipe you're trying out?" mingyu questions you with a smile while you show him the page you had been staring holes through

with one look, mingyu nods and begins fetching out some ingredients and placing away others you had used

and youre just like?? but the recipe asked for butter??

and you dont realize you had asked aloud when mingyu chuckles and points to the next page, which was a completely different recipe of spaghetti carbonara

and you turn bright red from embarrassment but mingyu rushes to say that its okay to make mistakes!!

and slowly but surely, as the both of you are cutting ingredients, stirring the sauce while mingyu occasionally gives you tips which you write down

it doesn't feel as awkward

especially when he almost flips the pan onto the floor from accidentally hitting the handle

which nearly burned the both of you

but you brushed it off and burst out laughing, mingyu following suit

because kim mingyu, the model student and an actual model, is actually just a really clumsy yet talented puppy

and after 30 minutes, you place the sauce onto the pile of spaghetti on the plate and mingyu finishes it off with a parsley leaf and some cheese sprinkled over

"we did it!!" you exclaimed, heaving a sigh of relief as you stared at it in amazement

"no you did it, i just helped you prep the ingredients," he chuckled washing his hands and just flicking his wrists into the sink

and not even putting on some soap

wth mingyu you giant full of germs

"nononono put that fork down and use some soap. otherwise the whole plate is for me,"

"but im hungry :(("

"being nasty and using your hunger as an excuse wont work on me- doNT even thINK about giving me puppy eyes"

and after the whole argument, mingyu has his hands squeaky clean and dried and the both of you are just feasting on that one plate of spaghetti

because you made it?? and its edible?? and tastes so good??

"i just need to copy whatever we did today for tomorrow's practical and I'll actually be able to pass," you giggled, washing up and cleaning your counter

while mingyu stashed the ingredients back into their respective places

"i guess you're lucky that i left my home econs book or you would've been doomed,"

"UHMMM speaking of doom,,, do you think you could help me with dessert next?? i was trying to make soufflé but it,,somehow exploded in the oven,"

at this point, mingyu isnt even surprised and simply offers his help once again

but because he had tuition to attend to in the next half an hour

the both of you decided to meet up on thursday at the same room and at the same time

as the both of you walked out of the school grounds side by side, the school's vicinity nearly empty since students were either already left or busy studying,

it was time to split ways by the gate as you thanked him once more

"thank you so much for the help again! I'll promise to treat you to a better meal," you joked, waving goodbye while he mimicked your actions

"you better hold on to that, y/n" he smiled as he chuckled, before turning his heel

but that smile never fades away, even if he wasn't facing you

and somehow thursday seemed so far away

while there you were, patting your rosy cheeks to settle down as you rushed to catch your next bus

thursday comes and mingyu arrives before you, his own apron over his broad shoulders and everything is prepared

from the ingredients to the appliances and,,, does his hair look a lot more neater than usual???

"You're earlier than i expected," you joked, slinging your bag off your shoulders while he showed you that irresistibly adorable smile

damn it why is your heart reacting so much

you only started talking to him a few days ago

"soufflé is a pretty sophisticated dessert yknow. and well,,, its also because i just ended home econs class," he rubbed the nap of his neck shyly

you flipped your recipe book to the soufflé page and picked out a pen to take your notes

"shall we start, chef?" you inquired, tying your apron until a pair of hands surround yours

"not until we secure this in place," he mumbled, gently tugging the ropes from your grasps and tying it tightly around you "lets get started then!"

and youre just standing there, all red in the face and unsure of what you're supposed to do next while mingyu preheats the oven

but you snap out of it when he nearly hits the ceramic bowl off the counter

and you're lucky enough that it falls into your palms just as you reached out for it

"maybe i should've asked someone else to teach me..."

"stOp huRting my feeLingS :(("

"I'll stop when you stop trying to break anything around you,"

and he just hmphs and gives you the side eye but eventually burst out laughing when you're veryyy confused on what you're supposed to do next

and you look so adorable with your brows furrowrd from concentration and the way your lips naturally pout

and his heart unknowingly swells

"I'll prepare the next few ingredients while you continue stirring, and make sure not to overdo it either,"

and you follow his instructions closely and once he was done, mingyu has this proud smile on his face and he's,,, radiating sunlight

how can someone look so endearingly towards you??

"you'll be as good of a chef as i am once we're done with this soufflé!!"

"oh! you wanna be a chef?"

and when the subject suddenly takes a turn towards ambitions, his smile falters and it feels like the weight of his visible sadness is falling on you

and your chest tightens at the sight of him, no longer smiling as wide as he did seconds before

"I'm sorry mingyu, i shouldn't have brought it up i-"

"n-no dont apologize, it isnt your fault at all. i shouldnt have gotten so emotional in the first place"

and as much as he's trying to replicate that shining smile, it just,,, doesnt seem as sparkling as it did

“i know we’re not that close but i was told that im a pretty good listener. if you want to tell me that is,”

mingyu looks at you and the sincerity in your eyes urges him to spill every word out of him 

“I’ve liked cooking ever since i was allowed in the kitchen, cooking with the maids and helping them with whatever step i could do. but the thing is,,, i’m not sure if my mom would allow me to pursue such a thing,”

“why not?”

and the questions throws him aback a bit because he’s never really asked his mother about his dreams

and it didn’t seem like she was very persistent on getting him into the modelling industry

so why didn’t he tell her?

“i guess,, i was just a coward.” he chuckled nervously

you placed your hand above his, hoping in some way that you’re presence comforts him

“maybe you should try and discuss about it with your mom soon. we are going to graduate soon afterall,”

and mingyu’s heart is about to leap right out of his chest

because he’s never met such a person who’s so caring towards him and genuinely worries about him even though you guys just barely met

and his toothy grin crawls back onto his lips and it feels like everything is back to the way it is

“let’s finish this up before we break another bowl,” you joked as mingyu guiltily agreed

the end product of the souffle melted in your mouth like fluffy clouds

and your hopes of actually getting a good grade for home econs is stronger than ever

and that meant that you owed mingyu a whole lot, especially with the numerous tips he had given you

“you don’t have tuition after this right?”

“mm no? why did you ask?”

“let’s go then!!”

and you grab him by the hand and miraculously drag his tol bod to your favourite restaurant

as the both of you stood in front of an average food stall, unlike the one that mingyu frequented with his mother

you shone a bright smile towards him and grab two seats for the both of you

“this place has one of the best dishes and at such an affordable price?? it’s crazy how it’s not packed with customers!” you shook your head as a waitress hands you their menu

but it doesn’t even take you a minute to start ordering

and you order a bunch of dishes 

and when i mean a bunch, i meant like 2 whole tables covered in food

“y/n, i dont think the both of us can finish this up on our own...”

“dont underestimate me you giant >:[”

and the both of you magically finished the whole thing

but like you guys are about to sleep for a whole week because of the food coma and now the two of you are at your seats, dazed and sleepy

“next time we come here, we’re NEVER getting more than  we can chew,”

“there’s a next time?”

“yeah you owe me two times-”

“it’s a date then, giant,”

maybe if it werent for that food coma, you would have been a little more careful with your words

but at least now you got a super good looking, talented boyfriend ;))

Journey to Middle Earth - Chapter 4

Summary – What if JRR Tolkien never gave Thorin a love story… because the person that was meant to be Thorin’s was not yet born when he wrote the Hobbit? Sara journeys from her world to Middle Earth after an accident, with a mission. To change something about the Hobbit story… but she is not sure what. What she does not know is that while trying to prevent something from happening, something new might arise between her and the dwarf prince….even if it is not on the agenda!

Warnings – None, no explicit scenes, some kissing, violence, frightening creatures, mentions of abuse.

Pairings – Thorin Oakenshield x OC

When Sara roused the next morning, she discovered that she wasn't the first one up. Most of the dwarves were already up and packing up silently. She hadn't woken to their noise because they were doing it quietly. Surprisingly, though true. Adjusting her cloak which had shifted in her sleep, she got to her feet and felt her head. Her hair had stayed in rather well so she saw no need to change it.

She quickly located her knapsack, ensured that everything was in there before swinging it on her back. She soon discovered that there was no one in the kitchen except Mason and Gandalf who were stoking the fire.

Mason perked up at the sight of his owner and scurried over to her. Sara bent down and scooped the pup up in her arms while smiling at Gandalf.

"How did you sleep?" he inquired

Sara shrugged, "Okay I guess."

"Lot on your mind?" the wizard inquired, sensing her discomfort.

Sara nodded, "It's just so strange.... before coming here I would have died to be on this journey.... meeting the dwarves, Bilbo, THorin....but now.... I never dreamt that actually being in the story wouldn't be a piece of cake."

Gandalf smiled, "Life has that affect on us. When we think we know what is going to happen... it sometimes doesn't go that way."

Sara nodded in agreement and the wizard sensed that she was frustrated, "Thorin isnt what you thought he would be is he?"

Sara shook her head firmly, "Before I came here...I had a whole perspective up about him just from hearing the stories and knowing what happens....He was stubborn and hard at first yes but never almost....dark and foreboding."

"What was your first perspective of him before you met him in person?" Gandalf asked.

Sara shrugged, "A good leader, thoughtful, stubborn, quiet but accepting....He's not that at all."

Gandalf smiled, "Well. He is still what you thought him to be, its just different because you're experiencing the journey for yourself, not just hearing about it."

"I suppose so," Sara sighed, "But... it's weird. As a teenager I was a huge fan of his! Like.... maybe a little over the top. My brothers even thought it would be amazing to be part of the journey and now that I am... it's like I met a whole different person that who was in the stories back home."

The wizard chuckled and reaching over, he patted the girl on her shoulder, "Just remember, don't judge a book by it's cover."

Sara nodded and snuggled Mason to her chest. The wizard left her there a moment while she pondered his words. Little did she know that a pair of piercing blue eyes were watching her from the shadows. Sara turned and headed through the doorway, off to the front door. She completely missed seeing THorin standing in the shadows.

THorin furrowed his brow in concentration. What were they talking about? Sara spoke as if she had met him before.... or seen him before.... and what Gandalf said about the stories....it was like Sara knew something....she had a secret and he was determined to find out what it was.

TIME SKIP

Fili and Kili glanced over their ponies' backs as Sara began to saddle her pony. There was a wisp of hair in her face that she kept pushing away but it kept falling over one eye, aggravating her. She finished saddling the pony and gathered the reins at the saddle.

Kili stole around his pony and approached the girl, "Need a hand?"

Sara looked at him and smiled. he probably thought that she had no idea how to ride, "Thank you Kili, but I got it."

Kili nodded, a little disappointed. Sara seemed to sense his discouragement so she smiled, "Actually.... sure Kili."

Kili's face lit up. Sara sensed that the boy wasn't used to being around girls other than relatives so he was probably trying to get used to it. Sara wasn't one to discourage boys trying to get used to being around girls since she went through that at one point with Pierce.... and then shortly with Axel.

The boy reached over and cupped his hands low enough for the girl. Sara placed her knee in his hand and he gave her a strong push upwards, surprised at her lightweight. The push he gave her was one meant for someone twice her weight and she would have gone flying over the other side if she hadn't been so balanced and she managed to slip her foot in the other stirrup before she ended up on the ground.

Kili cringed but Sara smiled at him, "Thanks."

Kili nodded as Sara leant over to whisper in his ear, "Remember, girls are usually lighter. Good first try though."

The young dwarf beamed at her and Sara couldn't help but smile at his relief. She watched the young dwarf hurry over to his brother. As he helped Fili into the saddle, Sara smiled and hid a chuckle at how the boy cringed at the weight of his brother after lifting a rather light Sara not moments before.

Sara ducked her head to hide her grin which went unnoticed by everyone... but the dark haired dwarf who had been mounted on his pony for a while. He had watched the exchange between his youngest nephew and Sara with interest. He had noted Sara's quick reflexes and balance and how she managed to not embarrass the boy by leveling out her weight. He also noticed how her eyes had flickered with fondness at the boy and realization at Kili's attempt at being a gentleman.

"Move out!" He called.

As they began to ride out of the still sleeping shire, Thorin glanced back to make sure they had everyone. His eyes at once fell on his two nephews who were riding on either side of Sara. The girl was cradling a still sleeping Mason in one arm while holding the reins expertly in her free hand. Kili and Fili were taking turns leaning over and petting the sleeping pup while smiling, laughing and chatting with Sara freely.

Thorin paused at a corner once to let the others pass him for he wished to make sure that they had everyone and also to ride with Dwalin for a short time. As the ponies trotted past, Thorin kept his eyes on his two nephews and Sara.

As they approached, a wind blew about them and brushed Sara's hair away from her neck, revealing the scar behind her ear that Thorin had noticed before. He furrowed his brow as the girl brushed her hair back over the scar. he noticed with interest that a faraway, pained look crossed her face but it quickly erased to one of joy as she continued to converse with his nephews.

'What are you hiding?' he thought to himself.

He didn't realize he had spoken aloud (luckily going unnoticed by everyone) until Gandalf pulled up beside him.

"Everyone has their secrets of their past THorin," The wizard remarked.

Thorin snapped his head up at him, surprised he had spoken that aloud, "Too many secrets isnt what I call okay."

Gandalf nodded, "I agree, but it is up to the secret holder to reveal the secrets on his or her own time."

THorin sighed and nodded, having given up on the subject and they continued on.

Thorin growled to himself. What was it about that girl that wouldn't let his mind rest anywhere else for long? She seemed so content in the saddle, unlike all the dwarves who wouldn't stop urging their horses faster or slower to chat to the others and lay bets on whether or not Bilbo would turn up.

She was riding calmly near the back of the group, her knees pressing into the pony's side just enough to keep her balance without needing to hold the reins. The reins were wound around the horn of the saddle just tight enough to keep the horse from having too much freedom but enough freedom for the horse to be comfortable. Thorin was surprised at how the pony kept an even walk to keep up with everyone and never straying more than an inch from the ponies.

The girl's long red hair was pulled back but the braid had begun to come out and her long curls were beginning to flop about her perfectly framed face as she looked down at her sketch book. She had been sketching in it for almost thirty minutes now and Thorin had to admit, he was curious as to what she was drawing that was making her smile. It was a soft, calm smile with a faraway but content look.

Even with the distance between them and the chattering of the other dwarves, Thorin could faintly hear her humming to herself ever so softly. The puppy was lying on the saddle in front of her, happily snoozing while she rested the sketchbook on his back. Why couldn't he get his mind off of her?

"You don't need to worry about Sara, Thorin," Gandalf's steady voice remarked. "She is a reliable person. She's gone through a lot yes but it hasn't altered her in the slightest."

Thorin shrugged, "It's not that. She just seems so secretive and I don't trust someone that I know nothing about."

Gandalf smiled knowingly, "Well I can hardly say you're alone."

Thorin raised his eyebrow and glared, "What is that supposed to mean? If you're talking about Balin, Fili or Kili then you're wrong. They already adore her. They pity her."

"And rightly so," Gandalf remarked, "That girl never got a chance to mourn her brothers before she was thrown into this world. But I was talking about her."

When THorin gave him a puzzled look, Gandalf smirked, "She doesn't trust you either Thorin. Even though she was incredibly excited to meet you, it's safe to say she doesn't really like you now."

Thorin's head snapped in his direction but before Gandalf had a chance to even notice, Thorin's keen hearing caught the sound of his nephews calling Sara's name.

"What ya drawing?" Kili asked, slowing his pony to ride beside Sara.

Fili tried to get a look but they couldn't wedge the ponies closer and Sara's curls was concealing the picture. The girl looked up and her eyes danced playfully.

"Just a sec."

A moment later she put her pencil away and held up the book to Kili who took it in his hands. Fili slowed his pony so as to ride beside his brother and both their eyes widened. (Picture above)

"Is that us?" Kili asked, "Is my nose that pointy?"

Fili considered his brother a moment before grinning, "Kinda. I like the colors.... didn't think my hair was that blond."

Sara smirked and ruffled the young dwarf's hair, "Yeah it's like honey."

Fili let out a yelp and set about fixing his hair, earning a snicker from the others.

Little did they know that a pair of bright blue eyes was watching them from the front. Thorin couldn't help but feel a hard pain hit his heart. Since Fili and Kili's father died he had taken it upon himself to be a father figure to them. What else could he do with his own brother dead? However, seeing them smiling and laughing with Sara suddenly pointed out to him that maybe he wasn't giving them a chance to be free... to have fun for they never smiled or laughed like that in his presence.

"So Sara, do you think the hobbit will be joining us?" Bombur called, "Gandalf and Oin are the only ones who think so."

Thorin caught a fleeting faraway look in the girls eyes before she smirked, "Count me in! He'll come."

Thorin frowned. there was something about how Sara talked...about how she responded which told him there was something going on. it was like she knew what was going to happen.... she was confident....too confident.

Almost the moment this began to pass through his mind, there was a loud shout from behind.

"WAIT WAIT!"

There were continuous sounds as the dwarves pulled their ponies to a stop. Thorin turned his pony towards the hobbit who was running in their direction, neither surprised nor unsurprised. In fact, he was baffled and intrigued at the same time. There were things going on that he wasn't aware of and it annoyed him, but surprised him.

"I signed it," Bilbo said triumphantly, holding the contract in the air.

He handed it off to Balin who began inspecting it. Thorin noticed with interest that Sara was watching the hobbit the whole time with a fond smile on her face. He also noticed that she smirked for a moment when Bilbo made eye contact with Balin's pony and stared at it unsurely.

"Everything seems to be in order," Balin remarked, "Welcome Master Baggins to the company of Thorin oakenshield."

There was a small gathering of soft agreement mostly from those who had bet in Bilbo's favor before Balin gave the hobbit a wink.

"Give him a pony," Thorin remarked, turning back towards the front.

"no no no that wont be necessary," Bilbo replied, "I'm sure I can keep up on foot...."

"Bilbo, don't argue," Sara whispered as she passed him.

Right then and there Fili and Kili grabbed him by the shoulders and hauled him onto a pony.

After a while and after Bilbo made a rather pathetic plead for a handkerchief, the company began to travel at a more steady pace with not much talking. it was Oin who spoke up after a long hour of silence.

"Well we're not a very cheery lot. Bofur, give us a tune!"

Bofur began to hum a bit but stopped, "Nothing sounds right. I don't usually sing while traveling..."

"Me neither," Bombur admitted, "What about you lads?"

Fili and KIli all shook their heads. They had to admit, every song they could think of was either too slow and dreary or too bright and fast.

THorin was about to think that they would forget it and return to the silence he was enjoying when Balin spoke up.

"Do you know any songs lass?"

Thorin felt himself groan. Of all things, Balin had to bring the girl to the center of attention. Not that she enjoyed it. Rather, the girl preferred to not be the center of attention but there was something about her that just made everyone want to get to know her and Thorin didn't know why but it aggravated him.

"A few.... what kind of song are you looking for?" the girl asked softly.

"Something about home," Kili spoke up, a faraway look in his eyes, "About wanting to return home."

A soft smile appeared on the girl's face and she pressed her hand against Kili's shoulder in a gesture of comfort which obviously worked for Kili's face perked up.

"I know one..." the girl said.

"Where did you learn it?" Fili inquired, interested.

Sara smiled but it soon faded to one of sadness, "It was my brother's favorite....he always sang it no matter the weather. When our father went on a long trip from home....he would always sing it and it would remind me of my father."

With a few urging nods from the other dwarves, Sara's voice softly rose and soon, the company was swallowed into silence. Thorin had to admit, she was incredibly good for a girl... and the words were spot on... and her voice mixing with the wind and blowing through the countryside.... it almost caused tears to appear to Thorin's eyes.

When she finished, there was a long silence. The silence was so long that THorin looked over his shoulder and what he saw made his throat catch for some reason. Sara was riding silently between Fili and Kili who were smiling, Kili stroking Mason who had planted himself on his saddle and Fili was dreamily looking ahead.... but what neither of them saw were the tears slowly creeping down Sara's face.....

It seemed like centuries that they rode. Sara began to get lightheaded sketching while riding so she took a break and just spoke with Fili and Kili for most of the rest of the ride. The last half they rode in silence and twice she almost dozed off in the saddle. If Fili hadn't poked her awake, she would have fallen off.

Just when she was about to doze off a third time, Thorin took notice of his nephew poking the girl to keep her awake. Thorin didn't know where it came from but he suddenly pulled his pony to a stop and called everyone to make camp. He had been driving them hard the first day, only stopping to water the horses and to let the dwarves use the toilet.

Thorin dismounted and began to unsaddle his pony when he spied Fili and Kili practically launch off their ponies. Both began to fight over who would help Sara unsaddle her pony but by the time they looked, the girl had already done it herself and had let the pony go with the others. THorin smiled to himself, amused at his nephews.

His pony trotted off to join his companions while Thorin set the saddle down with the other saddles. Gloin had already started a fire while the others were rolling out their bed mats. THorin noticed that Bilbo and Sara were nowhere to be seen. Bilbo had already laid out his mat but Sara had just left her pack and mat unrolled, nearer to the edge of the camp. Mason was curled up next to her pack, exhausted from the journey and snoring.

Thorin was just about to lay out his own things when he saw the two return, both carrying firewood and talking. The dwarf prince noted how Bilbo looked completely exhausted, bags under his eyes and stumbling over his feet. Sara had her arm looped through his and keeping him supported. Otherwise, he would fall down. Thorin also noticed how exhausted Sara looked but she braved it and ignored it to help the tired hobbit Carry the firewood.

"Ah thank you lass," Gloin remarked as Sara handed him the firewood before helping Bilbo to his mat. "How is the halfling?"

"Don't ask!" Bilbo declared, falling asleep almost instantly.

Sara chuckled and sat down near the fire, laying her head on her knees.

"Hey Sara," Kili spoke up after a while, "who's that?"

Thorin looked up from where he had been cleaning his pipe to see that Kili was sitting across from Sara who was tiredly looking through her sketchbook. From that distance he couldnt really see the drawing but it looked like a young boy.

"Its....my brother....Axel..."

Instantly the camp went silent and all eyes turned to Sara. Her eyes had begun to pool with tears but she was holding them back.

"He...he loved to draw....he got it from our father."

This was followed by more silence. Fili reached over to touch her shoulder but Sara shied away and closing the book, she shoved it under her mat and laid down, rolling herself up in her cloak and burying her face underneath the hood os that no one could see her face.

"What did I say?" Fili whispered.

He was about to lay down when a hand shot out and gently took his. The young dwarf turned to see that Sara was lying on her back, not covered by the blanket, staring at the sky. Her eyes were pooling with tears but she had a strangely calm look on her face.

"He died... in the same accident as me," she whispered. "He and Omar and Ryder were with me....there was no way they could have survived...."

Kili clapped a hand over his mouth, "Oh my goodness...I'm so sorry Sara! I had no idea!"

Sara shook her head, "It's okay...it's just....I came here...not knowing what was happening...and having no idea if my brothers were alright or not...but now....knowing that they're in a better place puts me at ease but it also...brings back memories."

When the girl didn't continue, all the dwarves leant forward as if trying to entice her to continue. Sara sighed and reached up, brushing her hair over her shoulder. It revealed her scar to everyone and they all jolted in surprise.

"Who did this to you lass?" Oin asked, touching her shoulder gently.

Sara ducked her head and let her hair fall back over her neck, "It's kind of a long story."

"I'm up for a story," Bombur pointed out, leaning against a tree trunk.

Sara looked around at the dwarves and sighed, "Very well...."

She pulled her legs to her chin and began to rock back and forth.

"It was when I was about sixteen years old," Sara began, "I was waiting for my brothers to finish school so that I could take them home. I was standing outside...it was a lovely day and I didn't think anything was going to happen...When... a stranger came up and asked me where he could find the head teacher. I was about to show him...and then he pushed me against the wall and...."

The girl didn't finish. All the dwarves however knew where that was going except Kili who seemed puzzled.

Sara touched her neck, "He gave me this because I refused to let him.... take anything else."

Kili cocked his head to the side and was about to ask what she meant when he felt someone clobber him over the head. He turned to see Thorin standing behind him, giving him a warning look. Kili shut his mouth while rubbing the back of his head.

Balin at once sat down next to Sara and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "I'm sorry lass. I'm sorry you had to experience that at such a young age."

"But why would someone do something like that?" FIli insisted, "It's disgraceful!"

Sara shook her head, "To some people in my world...they didn't think it was..."

"WHAT!?" the dwarves cried.

THorin lowered his eyebrows and frowned, not at Sara but at the thought of a man thinking that raping a girl wasn't a disgrace.

"They...." Sara stammered, "Some people in my world....think it's normal....to....do that...before you're married...."

"What about you?" Ori asked.

Dori at once kicked him as a warning, "What kind of question is that?"

Sara shook her head, "It's alright Dori....my family and I believe in keeping ourselves pure and chaste till after marriage."

Balin smiled warmly at her and patted the girl's red curls, "You're a brave lass to protect yourself like that."

Sara smiled weakly but the dwarves sensed that there was something that was still troubling her but they didn't push it. After soft goodnights, the dwarves all headed to bed. Soon the camp was full of snoring dwarves.

Sara still sat awake, staring at the flames with her knees drawn to her chest. She didn't notice Thorin standing in the shadows. He watched the girl with a thoughtful look on his face. There was something about her eyes that told him that there was something else troubling her... but he didn't know why.

Finally he laid down to rest and rolled over so that his back was to the others. He fell asleep with a firm frown on his face, thinking about who could be so terrible as to try and rape an innocent young girl. He felt a deep anger light inside of his gut but he didn't know where it came from...but he couldn't help but fall asleep remembering Sara's eyes shimmering in the firelight from the unshed tears.

Sara was running down the sidewalk in front of her house, running after Axel who was barely five at the time.

"Axel! Come back! We need to go inside for dinner!"

Axel just let out a joyful chuckle before sprinting up the drive of their close friends: the Deuchers. He pounded on the garage door and soon the five-year-old Deucher boy, Aiden opened it and seeing Axel who was trying to escape his sister, pulled the boy into the garage and closed the door.

"AXEL! AIDEN!" Sara yelled, "That is no fair!"

Just when she was about to ring the doorbell and alert Mr. and Mrs. Deucher to Axel's intrusion, a familiar face poked out the door. It belonged to sixteen-year-old David Deucher.

"Hey Sara! What's up?"

Sara quickly swallowed and tried to not appear nervous in front of the handsome boy, "Oh...hi David...nothing...Axel just disappeared into the garage with Aiden."

"Again?" David asked. "He should just permanently live there!"

Sara crossed her arms, "Then which of you do we get in return? I vote Hannah."

Hannah was the fourteen-year-old Deucher girl who was close friends with Sara and had been since they were babies.

David smirked, "Nah, I vote me. That way I can spend more time with you!"

Sara didn't quite realize what the boy had said, "We live just two houses away from you guys!"

"I know," David replied. "But it always lights up the place to see you."

Sara's face at once went bright crimson which David didn't fail to notice and he grinned, "Hey, Hannah and I were just watching the Hobbit. Want to come in for a bit till Axel and Aiden emerge?"

"Sure," Sara muttered, still bright red from David's earlier words.

She followed him into the living room to find Hannah sitting on the couch, watching the third hobbit.

"Hey Sara!" Hannah greeted, "Come join us! It's the best part!"

Sara plopped down on the couch next to Hannah just as the girl turned the volume up to max. Usually the sound wouldn't have affected Sara...except the sound was one she never wanted to hear ever again...the sound of sword meeting flesh.... Azog's blade striking home in Thorin's chest.

"NO!" Sara screamed.

The girl shot out of her sleep, panting and sweating horribly. Her hair was drenched in sweat, her chest rising and falling in gasps. Her heart was racing. She looked around and found that she was lying on the edge of the camp...the dwarves all asleep. She jumped from her spot silently and treaded silently over to where Fili and Kili lay. She smiled when she saw them sleeping with their backs to each other, both snoring softly.

Turning, she tiptoed over to the black sleeping figure of Thorin. She peered down in the dim morning light and saw his finely etched features relaxed in sleep. His blue eyes closed...his chest still rising and falling while he breathed.

The girl let out a relieved sigh and sank to her knees in relief, "I'm sorry Thorin," she whispered just quiet enough for it not to wake him. "But I will try everything I can to make sure that never happens...ever."

With that, she rose to her feet and walked off to clear her head, walking to the spring to wash herself of her sweat. Little did she know that a pair of blue eyes opened when she left. Thorin furrowed his brow in puzzlement...what was she talking about? And why did her voice shake with concern and worry?

TIME SKIP... TWO HOURS LATER

When Sara returned to the camp, everyone was up, and their bags all packed. They were saddling the ponies and dousing the campfire. Sara had turned up her cloak to use as a bag to carry the herbs and other plants she had located while near the river. She knew they would be handy with colds and wounds coming up.

All eyes looked up when Fili and Kili greeted the girl. She froze in her tracks, still holding the armful of herbs as all eyes fell on her. She quickly ducked her head shyly and headed to her bag which still lay on the ground. She found that someone had already rolled up her things and had placed them in her bag. Placing the herbs on the ground, she picked up a small piece of paper that lay on the top of her bag. It was a piece from her sketchbook, having been torn...and neatly on it was written something in Dwarvish.

Sara frowned. She had no idea how to read Dwarvish and the little dwarvish she knew were sentences and phrases she heard in the Hobbit. She folded up the piece of paper and placed it in her pocket. She would have to ask Gandalf about it later. She placed the herbs in her bag before swinging it onto her back.

She headed over to her pony and was just finishing saddling the pony when her eyes fell on Fili and Kili who were already mounted and poking fun at each other. Sara felt a cold hand clutch her heart...would she fail at saving them? Was it her destiny to change the story and save Fili and Kili? Or would they die like in the book and the movies....and leave their mother alone...the company mourning them...everyone who loved them in pain.

Thorin had just grabbed his reins to mount his pony when he spied Sara nearby. She was sitting atop her pony watching his nephews with a forlorn, faraway sorrowful look in her eyes. For a moment he thought she felt left out...but something about her face...the tears glistening in her eyes...unshed...told him that it was more serious than that.

"MOVE OUT!" he yelled.

Sara jolted in shock at his loud voice and at once Thorin felt guilty about startling the girl but he shook it off and mounted, turning so that he didn't have to look at her. However as they began to ride out, Thorin glanced over his shoulder just in time to see Sara wipe off the concern look on her face when his two nephews trotted their horses over to hers.

What was the deal with that girl?

*********

To say the least, Sara wasn’t at all surprised when the rain began to gently pelt the next day. She smirked to herself, knowing full well what was going to come soon.

“Here! Mr. Gandalf! Can’t you do something about this deluge!?” Dori called.

This brought a smirk to Sara’s face and she tried to hide it behind her hair but her curls were drenched now and having lacked a hood, she couldn’t protect her head from the rain so she just hoped no one saw her grinning.

“It is raining Master Dwarf and it will continue to rain until the rain is done,” Gandalf replied. “If you wish to change the weather of the world you must find yourself another wizard.”

Sara smirked and soon found herself distracted from the conversation by Mason. The puppy had refused to walk once the road had gotten soaked and muddy, so she had placed the drippy puppy in front of her on the saddle where he was huddling against her abdomen, trying to shield himself from the rain.

Sara smiled and ran her fingers through his wet black fur, “You little wet mongrel. What am I going to do with you?”

She glanced up and spied Kili who was distressed at how the water had drenched his cloak and ruined his hair. Smirking to herself, she urged her pony towards Kili so that she was riding beside him.

“Rainy huh?” she asked, smiling.

Kili nodded, “Tell me about it.”

“I know a cure for it,” Sara remarked.

Reaching down she picked up Mason and held out the drippy, furry puppy towards Kili’s face. On any other occasion Kili wouldn’t have minded but Mason was soaking wet and smelly. The dwarf let out a yelp and waved his hands in his face to keep the puppy away from him.

Sara let out a laugh and soon most of the dwarves were laughing with her especially when Kili got all flustered from embarrassment. It got even funnier when Mason managed to lick Kili’s face and whack him in the face with his wet and furry tail.

“Wet pet!” Kili cried, pulling his pony away.

Deciding that was enough, Sara placed the puppy back into his lap and smiled, “Well that is something you two have in common.”

“Well you’re twice as wet as any of us,” Fili pointed out. “You’ll catch a cold.”

Sara smiled, “Oh it’s fine. Unless the temperature out here is below mild, no one will catch a cold and just as long as everyone gets into dry clothes.”

“Hey look at this!” Ori called from behind.

All eyes turned to look over their shoulders at the young dwarf who had stopped his pony and had dismounted. Stumbling through the mud, he had approached a small bush and was touching the petals of a huge white flower. The tips were tinted red. Sara frowned. She didn’t know much about Middle Earth plants but there was a vibe that she got from looking at the plant that told her to be careful.

“Ah!” Oin called from the front, “That’s hoisin. It’s a rare plant.”

Sara’s head snapped in Oin’s direction, “Um… Oin… what does that mean in the common tongue?”

Oin looked at her in confusion before looking to the sky, “Now that I think of it… it means coniine. Don’t know what that really is but…”

The words were barely out of Oin’s mouth before Sara’s face went sheet white. Flying off her horse she sprinted through the mud, not caring that the mud was soiling her pants. She rushed to Ori and quickly grabbed his hand before he managed to grab the plant’s leaves.

“DON’T TOUCH IT!” she yelled.

Ori jumped at the seriousness in her voice while all eyes were on her.

“Sara, what’s up?” Fili asked, urging his horse towards them.

“Coniine is a poison,” Sara explained. “It’s found in a plant back in my world…. It is strong enough to kill you!”

The silence that enveloped the company was so thick that all one could hear was the steady pants from Sara and the rain that still fell.

“Ori you nitwit!” Dori called. “What were you thinking?” “I didn’t know!” Ori whined.

Sara shook her head and sighed, getting to her feet, “It’s alright. I’m just glad he didn’t touch the leaves or the stem. I don’t know what part of this plant secretes the poison.”

The dwarves all sighed before Nori and Dori pulled their brother onto his pony. Sara slumped with relief in the mud before a hand was thrust in her direction. Glancing up to the owner of the hand, Sara found herself staring in shock into the pale blue eyes of Thorin.

“You’ll catch cold sitting in the mud,” He remarked with a serious, placid expression.

Sara took his and at once felt her cheeks go pink. His hand was huge compared to hers and even though the whole of him was drenched, it was warm.

With a swift motion, Thorin pulled her up out of the mud and onto the back of his pony. Sara let out a slight squeal at the motion before gripping his shoulders. She feared that gripping his waist would be too forward and honestly, she was already flustered. Thorin urged his pony over towards Sara’s pony before making sure that his pony was right alongside hers. Sara gripped his shoulders and climbed off his saddle and jumped into hers. When she was settled on the saddle again, she pulled Mason close to her chest to protect him from the rain.

“Thank you,” a soft voice whispered.

Sara’s head snapped up to realize that Thorin hadn’t ridden off and he was still sitting on his pony right next to her, “Thank you for stepping in. If you hadn’t, Ori might have died.” Sara smiled, “Don’t worry about it!”

Thorin stared at the girl as she grinned at him sweetly, her eyes closed. Even drenched to the skin, she was… honestly…. Thorin didn’t know what but for some reason he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

Tower of Dawn Reaction Post

SO I decided to record my full reaction to Tower of Dawn. It may jump around a lot and views change considerably but I had fun with it. And I hope y’all would bear with me and my weird ass thoughts. 

Is Nesryn the other king’s child, was she given to her parents to make sure that there will always be an heir even if someone killed the rest of them 

Who is this Khagan ?! He’s like a mysterious scary god king 

Is the Khagan the same as Maeve, age and species and shit. Seems like it 

WAIT IS THE DEAD THE SIXTH CHILD 

Please no incest (older brother and princess (Sartaq and Hasar)) 

So ruks are their army basically or air force 

That army prince (Sartaq) would definitely get along with Chaol. They’re like the same person. 

WAIT NESRYN AND THE PRINCE ????? Is it gonna happen? Is there something there? 

Were they friends, the girl (Hasar), and Aelin? 

Youngest married? 

How old are these people?

So the south is aligned with someone in Wendlyn? 

Why can’t these people just be nice? Just let your family live. 

HE KNOW SHE IS AN ASSASSIN 

Wait who the fuck is their spy 

Someone give me an actual rundown of these kids cause I can’t figure it out 

Okay then, this whole ‘don’t love your kids’ is some weird shit 

THEY’RE GONNA TELL THEM THAT SHE IS CAPTURED!!!!!! IS THAT WHAT IT IS 

Or is it that she isn’t actually the queen 

Wait … it’s that she is an assassin … that’s kinda underwhelming 

Okay … getting pissy about presents … that’s petty 

*Your war (umm why wouldn’t it affect the south?) 

Guess: They’ll align but only if they pass a test

Who killed the youngest, wait why did they kill the youngest, the baby (even though she is only 16)? 

So they loved her? Do they not want to fight for the throne for a change? 

Oh Chaol, don’t give an excuse, it will only make it worse 

Ha Nesryn hates Dorian now 

Wait I thought her niece and nephew were in the south 

For someone who doesn’t like Court intrigue, Chaol is good at it

MAEVE OR ERAWAN !!!! That’s who killed her. Or a sibling. 

Wait what ?!? (the bath) 

CELAENA !!!!! 

Bio-warfare? 

Why does it sound like Star Wars when they say “the empire" 

WAIT YRENE AND THE PRINCE ?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!

How did they get to know each other? How did anything start? How? 

Wait … so … he has a lover … and might like her … too … 

Yrene is totally justified 

Shots fired with the questions at dinner. Chaol kinda needs to get over himself. 

I love Yrene, she is so fucking snarky 

YRENE AND NESRYN !!!!!!! THEY WOULD BE AMAZING TOGETHER !!!! Friendship or romantic or anything !!!!!!! I NEED THAT 

Will Nesryn and Sartaq end up together ?!?! Cause I see it 

Arghun is creepy as fuck. Is he a spy? (Is he the spy dude?)

Okay but if you could ‘sense people lying’ yet this ‘sense’ has failed you, THEN DON’T FUCKING TRUST IT 

I’m done, SAFTEY OVER PRIDE !!!!!! I don’t care if she would show your weakness, look for her if her being gone makes you uneasy 

Kashin = Dorian 

KASHIN AND YRENE 

I WANT THEM TOGETHER!!!!!! THE PUPPY JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED!!!! 

So the family disproves? Except for the women?

What are the steps?

I LOVE KASHIN !!!!!!!!!!!

DID SHE GO INTO THE SKY WITH SARTAQ

I DOSEN’T WORK IF YOU DON’T TALK EITHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP AND DON’T BLAME EVERYTHING ON HER 

Okay but you could be together if he doesn’t become king and he goes and helps in the war just like you 

Chaol doesn’t deserve Nesryn

Technically Dorian didn’t make that slave decree. Aelin kind of did

THANK YOU YRENE !!!!!! A wheel chair doesn’t mean you are weak or lesser than. HE CAN BE STRONG TOO !!!! 

And yes I am aware that it is hard to get over the sudden loss of limbs

WILL HE TELL YRENE THAT IT WAS CELAENA/AELIN WHO SAVED HER ?!?!

So his injury has part of the Valg in there

WHAT IS HE IMPLYING THAT “DORAIN IS NOT HIS SON”

DO NOT GIVE IN TO THAT DARK 

I find it refreshing and good that SJM shows that healing isn’t just physical, but also emotional. Even if you’re not open to it. Because talking helps. And not only did Aelin go through emotional and physical healing with Rowan. But Chaol is too. And that is good. 

Who is the wife/mother? Is she a god? 

Thr gate in the picture is a wyrd-gate 

Orcus, Mantyx, Erawan 

Is the young man in the picture someone significant 

His eyes, black, not gold? 

VALG!!!  Husks !!!! They’re there 

They need fire 

What is with the number 36 = the number of gods in the south

KASHIN BETTER COME BARRELING IN AND GO CRAZY 

YRENE AND CHAOL HAD BETTER NOT GET TOGETHER 

Okay but the only thing I can picture as a Ruk is 

A) Kevin from UP 

B) those bird things from Avatar 

Nesryn is going to go back to the South when this is all over and join that Ruk army thing 

So Shartaq isn’t gonna be king? 

Duva or Kashin? Wow 

Ruks can kill wyrd-hounds thing 

NO. NO. NO. CHAOL AND YRENE. NO. NO. NO. 

Her period 😂 He remembers and talked about it 

They’re gonna happen aren’t they (Chaol and yrene) 

THE WIFE. WTF ?

Where is the empress from 

Nesryn and Shartaq. Demon fighting duo

Hearth mother? Stories? Does she know the secret to end it all 

Aelin would have been beside herself with glee … THATS BECAUSE SHE WAS WHO TAUGHT YRENE !!!!!!!!! She would be so fucking proud and happy and yes, gleeful 

RESS MY BABY 

He needs that sword back. He brings it up too much. He could 'redeem’ it 

Also, Yrene and Chaol now remind me of Celaena and Chaol. And while I like him and Nesryn I want her (both Yrene and Nesryn) to be  with that prince, but she (Yrene) could also be with him

There really wasn’t a need for Kashin to bring up the stain 

Kashin’s nice, but …

The "blackness” that’s in Chaol is like the darkness that Aelin had to go through. It’s his dark past. 

I can see Chaol and Yrene together. They compliment each other in a way that Nesryn and Chaol don't 

AAAAAAHHHHHH HE CAN SORT OF MOVE HIS FEET !!!!!!!!!!! 

Definitely, cause he went through his pain and 'embraced’ it 

IS HER FAMILY IN THE SOUTH ?!?!?!!!!??

Please say yes 

I appreciate how in some ways we as America are Erelia and everyone else in the world is the South (just, fair and respectful) 

<I listened to this on audiobook> Why the sudden voice accent changes? It’s weird 

HER AUNT AND UNCLE SHIP HER AND SHARTAQ !!!!!! YES THANK YOU YES !!!!!!!! They don’t ship her with Chaol, like same :)

How the fuck does her aunt know about wyverns? 

HAHAHAHA YRENE LIKES CHAOL (well she smiled) 

Ha, no one is shipping Chaol and Nesryn. I totally agree with this 

WAIT, AELIN ISNT THERE ?!?! So where in EoS timeline are we? When they are on the ship, in skulls bay, where? 

Power brokers of the realm 

Do the people understand what friend means? 

HE’S SCARED AND MISSES AND IS WORRIED ABOUT HER !!!!!! Aaaaaahhhhh 

They are so cute together 

It’s really like Celaena and Chaol

THEY LIKE EACH OTHER !!!!!! SHE LIKES HIM !!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH

UMMM WASN’T CELAENA A FRIEND 

He mentioned Ren 😍

Never seen a face so lovely hmmm Chaol? 

Chaol just break up with Nesryn. She likes someone else. You like someone else. Her family likes her with someone else. Just end it already. 

Wait I thought Arghun was married. Why is he looking at Yrene as a prize 

DORIAN WOULD ENJOY IT !!!!! That boy is a player. Why didn’t we get that he is a sinimmon roll before EoS. Like come on guys we can do better 

The one place she wouldn’t go, he guessed Skulls Bay. Umm honey SHES THERE. I’m dying 

She knows he doesn’t love her anymore. Thank you SJM for showing that in life you never have only one love, but multiple. Too many times in books it’s one and done. But not here. That’s refreshing and I appreciate it.

Now, how is Kashin gonna react 

Yrene will of seen Celaena. She’s gonna ask how he knows her and he will tell her. He will ask where she knows her. And she will tell him. 

A dead queens castle … hmmm sound familiar? Anyone want to explore and find out what she knows 

It is understandable that it took Chaol by surprise the culture of the south. But it is also admirable that he chooses to go and seek training, to learn their ways and methods. 

AELIN !!!! I love this girl power and friendship shit between Aelin and Nesryn. 

So like these riders. Doathraki on birds? 

Nesryn better become a rider. I have hopes for you Faliq 

Also, Yrene healing = Katara healing 

This man in the mountains … the merchant ? 

THE MERCHANT !!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD !!!!!! 

Is the fucking merchant part of Aelin’s plan? Was he originally supposed to woo these sky people? Cause fuck this shit. She can’t be that crafty can she?! 

The spiders 

I want more of Nesryn story. Not Court intrigue 

Overprotective male. Wait till she meets the Fae. 

Why is Silvia so high in the mountains 

The wolf had better be that merchant 

So I was right. But him being 27 also means that HE IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING AGE APPROPRIATE TO FATHER LYSANDRA. Like not even close. She’s like 19 so that would make him 8 when she was born. So no. 

Can these people just talk about Celaena fucking Sardothien and how she is Aelin. It’s not a secret and GOD WOULD I WANT THAT REVELATION TO HAPPEN 

OH, MY GOD !!!! The betrothed. They are the best together. The bickering. Though I am scared that when/if the merchant gets his age again. She will turn to him instead. 

So Chaol can walk. He’s a bit hot headed and I called it with Yrene. 

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH BORTE AND HER BETROTHAL!!!! None of these people better die. I refuse to accept it 

RESS !!!! I miss you 

So basically in these tunnels, they will discover the secrets to the Valg

And Kashin will find them and join them 

So between the time the Valg came and Elena fucked up (a good few thousand years) Fae went south and created structures in the mountains and pictures on stones and buried their dead and probably help with the Torre (plus that scroll) 

CELAENA.  AELIN. You are great full to Celaena. 

WTF ?!?????!!!!!! He’s not gone. He’s not dead. I refuse to believe this. Nesryn will find him. She will save him. Don’t bullshit me. 

MAEVE 

FUCKING MAEVE

QUEEN OF THE FUCKING VALG 

We all knew this. In some way. That she is evil and conniving and shit. BUT SERIOUSLY BRANNON DIDNT KNOW?! ELENA DIDNT KNOW ?!?! MALA DIDNT KNOW ?! 

And what about her sisters. Were they really her sisters? Is Erawan her husband? What is going on with this history now? 

Can Nesryn get rid of that archway? Close it or something. Will they have to travel back down south then? Cause I thought it was Morath that shit was going down in. 

Aelin knows. She figured it out. 

Lysandra. That’s his niece. And he is going to sacrifice himself. He will never meet her.  Never re-meet Aelin … I’m cool … I’m fine. This isn’t me telling myself I can’t yell into my book cause my roommate is sleeping. Nope, not at all. 

BORTE DO NOT DIE 

Please tell me Hafiza is good. This book and GoT is having me second guess everyone and their intentions. Ugh why 

He will only defeat the Valg inside of him when he comes to terms and accepts his past. Like Aelin 

Chaol is gonna go and get fucking married to Yrene. I’m done. No more these weird ass marriage arrangements. There is only like 100 pages left in this damn book. Please don’t do this to me. But you are. 

He wants to get married immediately 

Usually, I would be pissed with the amount of coupling up. But THIS is done right. Not Yrene and Chaol. Not Aedion and Lysandra. Not Dorian and Mannon. Not Cassian and Nesta. But this way. Like these people. 

This Bitch Hasar. She has been playing these people and got a letter from Aelin and likes the letter. But did nothing to try and help her?!

Also, will all their incredible spies they don’t know that Aelin is captured? 

Also, we have now officially surpassed the ending of EoS. With the battle scene part, and now after it, we are technically in the chronological time frame of ToG7. So with that in mind, will TOG7 start right where EoS ended and fuck up the time line by having Chaol and Co. be on the continent or travel into the continent. Or will it be logical and do a small fast forward so everything is aligned? 

Hafiza is evil and took the damn books. Placing my bet now. Well, I placed it a while ago but still. Wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. 

It’s always the tunnels. Why don’t they ever check the fucking tunnels? 

Oh and if Hafiza is good and dies or if she just goes and dies, I’m declaring that Yrene will be named the head of the Torre and will use her new power to say that they will go North. 

And with her newfound sway as well as the Ruks plus that letter and the allies, the Khang will agree. 

But how will these new positions and shit affect the world after? Because Chaol wouldn’t do well in the south. So maybe Yrene will give up her newfound title after the war and start her own magic school. 

Also, one of the siblings will die in the war. Maybe two of them. 

Damn Chaol your really bad at this whole demon fighting thing 

Do not save her yrene. Just kill her. For one, yes it a noble cause but two, she’ll be wracked with guilt over her killing her sister and three, that demon baby thing. Just no. 

Witch Glass shit and since when did Yrene have projectile magic 

So basically another form of Carranem. But more like that piece of wood shit with life feathered. But also, can Chaol walk or only occasionally? 

Seriously after all that here siblings won’t let up about killing each other. Damn 

SARTAQ IS FUCKING HEIR?!?!?!!!!! Like we knew this was coming but come on he doesn’t want it. He doesn’t want to kill his family. WTF

I knew it 

Hey fucking got married 

I’m done 

What is this 

Why can’t we have a nice normal not-secretive marriage  

Oh 

My 

God

Hasar and Aedion 

Hasar and Aelin 

Hasar and Rowan

Hasar and Manon 

Hasar and Ansel

Hasar and Lysandra 

SHE DIDN’T INCLUDE FUCKING EVANGELINE, REN OR NOX !!!!!!!! 

I’m done 

[toastsp0st]

Here's my story.

Last August, I started a sport with my best friend. I had been doing that sport for the second year, it was her first. We stuck together and helped each other.

I was extremely shy, especially around the upperclassmen. She was the opposite. Talking to them, making friends easily, and talking to her brother's friends, meanwhile I just sat by her side and would just follow her around like a lost dog.

We had our first meet. I was so excited. After our entire team finished their races, we all started to pack up. I was in such a good mood, due to the fact that I came first on our team, and beat not only my time from last year at the same place, but also my overall time.

I was chatting with a couple older boys, when I noticed we had the same shoes. I pointed it out and we instantly became friends. I'm not saying age matters in this, but I was 13 and he was 17.

After that meet, I was helping a very nice boy with the tent. We talked for up to 10 minutes and I knew I had slight feelings for him. I told my best friend and she encouraged me to go for it.

Unfortunately I had a boyfriend, but he was not a good one. He drank, did drugs, and would constantly bombard me with his issues despite me having too much to already carry on my back.

I texted the 18 year old, asking him for help with the boy I liked. He said I need to leave my current boyfriend and attempt to get with him. It just so turned out they were good friends, and he had a crush on me too.

Right here is what created our little squad.

The four of us, (me, my best friend, 18 year old, and crush) all became best friends. We would hang out at practice. Run together. Had a group chat. Played games online together. Everything. It was awesome being around them.

The boy I liked (let's call him Joey) and I werent dating, but we were really into each other. It was sort of a puppy love experience, and it was one of the most amazing things I had felt in a long time. I couldn't describe it to you through words.

Eventually, Joey and I did get together. He asked me out and I said yes of course. Our friend group was so happy at this point in time. That was until things started changing.

My best friend and I have always thought the 17 year old was extremely good looking and nice. I dont blame us, he was. But we didnt know what was bound to happen in such a short amount of time.

After a month of dating Joey, he started to stop talking to me. I remember the last time we hung out. He barely talked to me, wouldnt hug me, and couldn't look at me. I was so upset. We are in different grades so I didnt have any classes with him.

I craved attention from someone so much. I cried so much wondering what I had done that was wrong.

Soon enough, the now 18 year old began to flirt with me. I couldn't help myself. I flirted back, and he sent a few photos. I didnt send any but I was obviously flattered by it all.

I told my best friend and he was doing the same thing with her. I didnt feel special to start with, but this sorta shocked me.

At the daytime, all was good, but at night it was constant flirting. He began to come to my choir class and he would flirt with me there too. I should have known better.

Even though I had someone giving me attention, I wanted more. Maybe I was craving it from my boyfriend at the time who was ghosting me. I dont know. But I should have been smarter than what was soon to come.

After school one day, the 18 year old was going to bring me home. On our way to my house, he wanted me to go with him to his house. I said no and he got upset. I felt bad.. Once I got out of the car at my house I hugged him. He told me he loved me. And I told him I loved him too.

One night.. we went bowling. Me, him, my best friend and her brother. The 18 year old was touching me and eventually he took me to the game room and he kissed me. I liked it, I will admit it. But it still felt wrong.

Somewhere around here, I ended things, broke up with my boyfriend and eventually found a new one. Things were now great.

My best friend and the 18 year old kept doing things together. She snuck out to meet up with him. They kissed. Made out. Were extremely touchy. And sent inappropriate photos. She was 13 and he was 18 at the time.

At first she told me it was just a kiss, but then I found out the truth. She lied to me and I cannot stand liars, but I didnt think much of it.

Over time I found out about the nudes they sent. I found out about the sexual conversations going on 24/7. I found out too much.

I told her that she needed to stop what they had and she got angry.

"You are trying to take away my happiness!!"

I felt horrible for speaking my mind, but I couldn't help myself. I told the man how I felt as well. They told me it isnt as bad as I thought.. yet again another lie to my face.

That week, I was with my other friend (Jax) at the park. I saw the 18 year old and my other best friend together. He was carrying her around. Jax and I noticed that they were in a dugout together. We went down, and they hid from us.

I was in so much pain knowing that he could be possibly doing stuff again with one of my friends.

After a while, my boyfriend and his sister came to the park and met up with Jax and I.

Jax and my boyfriend were far away getting their bikes. The 18 year old approached me and his sister. I froze. I asked him what he was doing here, and he said sitting in tree crying.

Eventually the 2 boys came back and we all talked until I left.

I called the 18 year old and informed him I knew he was with my best friend the entire time. He got mad. He lied to me again and I was done with it. I was crying after I got off the phone.

I went to the store and was in the back. This part all gets gobbled up in my memory so please bare with me.

She was saying that her and the 18 year old cut everything off that evening. I wanted proof. No proof was given. I also talked to him about it. He also said they stopped it all.

Eventually she admitted to lying to me, and him doing the same. I instantly started to tear up. I heard a noise and looked over.

It was the 18 year old. He looked at me, put his hood up, and walked away. I didnt tell him I was there and I don't know how he knew.

So in a short amount of time, I lost trust in 3 people. I cant talk to the 18 year old anymore. I barely trust my 2 best friends now.

I didnt mention it before, but the best friend who had something going on with the older man was a compulsive liar.

Now, as of 1/20/20, the 18 year old is going after another girl in my grade. He still has a girlfriend. I dont know what to do.

He is a predator and I cant do anything to stop him. Help me if you can.

This story was written for me to get it off my chest. I constantly look at these 3 people and feel slightly sick. I am okay with the 2 girls, but not the guy.

Please be smart with what you do. Do not get involved with older men or women if you are underage. Stick to your gut.

If you read this, thank you. I know this doesnt make much sense, but I am emotional and I just wish I hadn't ruined the friendship just because I was lonely and craving affection from someone.
