It feels like every day I read attempts to debunk the social model of disability that fundamentally misunderstand what the social model of disability is and who the people who developed that model were, including what the nature of their disabilities was, and I want to scream.
But I don't, because yelling at people on the internet is basically pointless. Instead I check to see that I'm not mutuals with whoever reblogged said misunderstanding and vague about it.
#'but [x impairment] would still exist and have [y implications] even if the world were completely accessible!'#okay well yeah but equating impairment and disability is explicitly the opposite of the social model of disability#the union of the *physically impaired* against segregation who developed this model#*were* by and large privileged in ways many other disabled people are not‚ yes#mike oliver who wrote the fucking book on the social model of disability#(social work with disabled people‚ published in 1983)#was a white man with a phd who pioneered an academic field‚ for one#and there *are* criticisms about the limitations to a purely social model of disability to be made#but like... our pal mike oliver was also a wheelchair user who broke his neck in a swimming accident as a teenager#which caused paralysis that affected his upper and lower body#not a clueless 'physically abled' autistic who didn't understand how physical limitations work#he lived the first 17 years of his life as a physically abled person#so I think he was aware of the difference between what his body could do before and after his accident#and like 'disability is socially constructed'#is not saying that differences between people and what they are able to do or do easily do not exist??#my eyesight is so bad that if I could not access corrective lenses I would be functionally blind#and even with glasses my myopia and astigmatism cause a lot of tangible effects on my body#e.g. migraines‚ eyestrain‚ so many floaters that even looking through pristine glasses is like the lenses are scratched to hell#but my eyesight is not considered a disability#because the accommodations that enable me to participate in society fully in this area are so standard as to be invisible#can I magically see without corrective lenses? no#does wearing glasses not being considered a disability mean that I do not get migraines and eyestrain? no#so the arguments the thing I am vaguing are trying to debunk are not what is being argued!#well seems like I screamed about it after all#oh well

A DC X DP IDEA #17 Cinderella
Imagine dis…
Danny has many types of occupations throughout the fandom, from being a member of the JL or JLD to a humble engineer or café barista that wants to live a somewhat normal life. But what if we turn him into a janitor working at the prestigious Gotham Academy
Danny never would have thought he would end up being a janitor at an academy for rich kids in Gotham, a thought passed by as he mopped the floors diligently.
Despite his early years of being a vigilante, he hangs his cape the moment he noticed other heroes popping up as well as being able to fix the Infinite Realms. The JL members used to look for Phantom to offer their tillage and wisdom but when the Ghost King, himself, was able to have some sort of compromise between the humans and ghosts, Amity became a hotspot for the paranormal under the protection of the Ghost king when the Ecto acts had been destroyed in favor for the meta law.
Phantom disappeared, it was one running theory that he finally left to rest, or even that he became a permanent ghost knight for the king as some sort of knighthood for protecting both humans and ghosts during hard times.
The explosion in the Nasty Burger still happened but instead of having all of his loved ones die in that tragic fate, he managed to save his best friends as well his sister. Vlad tried to take them in as a way to show his good faith as well as to show remorse for the things he had done and now trying to make it up to the children. At first, the trio and sister are skeptical as both siblings are the last remnants of his beloved Maddie. But he had proved himself to be a better person despite his quirks, which is his obsession that turned into some sort of protection/obsession/love towards the people he considered family after their deaths.
Danny is now free to enjoy his remaining human life before he joins the afterlife permanently. As much as he wanted to go and join NASA in space, he couldn’t even pass the physical exam to join the program. So, he took his sister’s advice to enjoy his life to the last bit this world has to offer. Even if he still wasn’t crowned king, he started acting king as well as attending various lessons to become king. Vlad offered Danny to be his heir at his company but he refused stating that being a king is already hard work. Add to the fact he had a limitless and infinite amount of funds that he could simply travel the world as many times as he wanted as well splurge money as if it was candy he would still have infinite funds in his treasury. He had joined his now daughter to enjoy the wonders of the world as well visiting and touring to the endless worlds that connected to the Infinite realms. But once he had finished his travels, he had exponentially grown into a fine man in his late 30s. Gaining Jack’s height whilst Maddie’s built, he is a very definition of a twink.
But he wanted to lay low, something mundane, something that can keep him busy as he was itching to do something ever since he returned to his hometown. As much as he had grown, he is still having the mind of an impulsive teen in his teens and threw a dart in which state to settle in and took a computer generator to choose which job to do.
Gotham and the janitor were the ones that showed up and landed a dart in. He thinks it is perfect as not many would be looking into a janitor.
He packed up his things and applied for a job in Gotham Academy as a janitor and immediately settled in his small apartment in Crime Alley when he received approval for his new job.
It has been a week in his new job and he couldn’t be prouder than being able to blend in without the use of his powers. Messing up his hair to make his head a rat’s nest as well as adding some soot in his face, hands, arms, and overalls to make him look like a homeless who had got the job out of pure luck as he kept his back hunch like Clark Kent, Yes he is not slick in hiding in plain sight as he had gotten away in inverted colors but those glasses are not doing a great job.
This new school year he felt that there has been a new buzz in the atmosphere as real Blood Wayne is now attending. The real son of Bruce Wayne one of the rumors said, he had observed in the far at the kid and he looked like his father aside from his colors.
He noticed the kid is not comfortable around the others who tried to talk to him. Broke some spoiled kid’s nose for talking too much about being friends in the right sort. Some girls tried to get close to him by touching his shoulder or being too near his bubble and broke the poor girl’s wrist. Talked too formally and weirdly that he didn’t have any friends aside from Superman’s son, honestly that poor disguise is being passed from Superman to the son at least Bruce Wayne has the sense to have separate personalities from his playboy persona to his Batman persona.
Honestly, he couldn’t even blame the kid for the things he had done that landed him in the principal’s office.
One day when he was taking his lunch in a hidden place in the academy when the door suddenly slammed open and quickly entered the Blood Prince aka Damian Wayne, and immediately relaxed at the door being shut. He quickly looked alarmed at the stranger in the same room but after telling to Damian that he is the school’s janitor by showing his id to prove immediately and visibly relaxed. But to Danny’s eyes, he still looked ready to pounce at Danny for breathing wrong.
A small grumble of stomach destroyed the tension in the room, as Damian Al Ghul Wayne began to feel embarrassed for not only forgetting his lunch, not noticing the janitor, and even being cornered by kids who wish him harm. Damian still didn’t understand why his father had forbade him to fight anyone who are disrespectful to him, leaving him no choice but to run like a coward. The janitor that he had seen a few times around the academy offered him his sandwich which he tries to deny as he is vegetarian, the janitor Daniel, pulled out a vegetarian sandwich that he kept, as he explained that it became a habit of him when his friend who is also a vegetarian forgot their lunch.
Reluctantly Damian received and thanked the janitor and hesitantly took a bite but was surprised at the flavor of the generous amount of vegetables as well as some substitutes that gave so much flavor. Then Daniel, call him Danny he insisted, and offered him a small Tupperware filled with various fruits as dessert. Both began to chat about mindless things up until the bell rang as a reminder at lunchtime ended. Danny called out that Damian is always welcome at this little hidden place to escape or just have a quiet time by himself, Damian just nodded silently and the next day Damian appeared at the door and asked for Danny’s permission to enter the room which Danny laughed and gestured Damian to enter.
From that day on a bond formed between the two.
Damian would spend his lunch breaks and free time in the safety of the hidden room and he is always greeted by Danny still in his soot-filled overalls and messy and rat-like hair in a corner. As they both eat their respective lunches each day, slowly but surely Damian became open to the humble janitor, He would pop different questions starting with the mundane and normal questions and about the vocabulary of normal teenagers that his brothers use some absurd words that left him frustrated at the meaning nor the action behind it. Danny happily answered Damian’s question as Damian would come home each day becoming a real boy.
This made some of the Wayne kids horrified at who taught this demon spawn what yeet means. Some cackled at what could they do to further corrupt Damian. Damian let the rest of his supposed siblings come up with whatever theory on how he learned such vocabulary as it was, he and Danny’s little island of secret and peace at school, away from his imbeciles of brothers as well his noisy classmates.
Danny stared at the piece of an envelope as if it had offended him. Vlad asked him if he could be his plus one at the upcoming Wayne gala for another charity by Bruce Wayne and since Brucie Wayne was not getting younger he had thrown a masquerade ball as a theme in the said gala since it was nearing the Halloween season. Danny had thought about denying the invite but with the thought of Vlad rarely asking Danny things he reluctantly called Sam. Despite distancing herself from her surname she kept some of her connections during her teens and got Danny a good tailor for a suit that resembles during the Victorian era with the color scheme black and silver add a toxic green and silver mask which he crafted himself that goes well with his suit that covers his entire upper face leaving his mouth and hair visible.
When Vlad picked him up, he noticed that he got him got slacked jawed at Danny’s overall appearance. Maybe it is because he had straightened up his back and showed his real height, maybe it’s because of his tiny waist that is visible despite wearing a full vest and suit or maybe it is because of the mysterious air that Danny seemed to surround him with as he demands command and respect just standing silently as he let Vlad gawk and compare between the badger and feral little shit during his teenage years to the person sitting across the limousine looking like a noble right out of the Victorian era.
Bruce didn’t pick for tonight’s gala theme but due to Dick’s insistence that Damian never actually experienced a masquerade ball along with Jason’s persuasion to attend the gala so that he could live out his nerd self-made, Bruce made it real. Now all of his children are scattered and he could see Tim at the edge of the window the verge of passing out. Dick drags Damian to enjoy the theme while Jason is releasing his inner theater kid using the other higher population of Gotham as his supposed audience for his dramatics. Since no one can see which masked guests contain the Waynes made it is easier to ignore and evade both media as well the upper socialite of Gotham.
He was about to grab a glass of champagne from the tray of a passing waiter when he fainted slipping to enter his Brucie persona when he was immediately grabbed from his waist as if to watch him.
As he is about to thank the man for catching him, he wasn’t about to slip, when he suddenly forgot how to talk.
A man a lot taller than Bruce himself has a slim build but Bruce could see some muscles that seem show themselves just for Bruce to see through, wearing a Victorian-style suit that seemed to complement the mask that covers the man’s entire upper face showing for Bruce to see a wolfish grin at him as a fluffy amount of hair rests on top of the man.
The man introduced himself as Nightgale and both men seemed to hit off. Both felt comfortable in each other’s company so they both escaped the main lobby that contains the guests as they both chat amicably at the porch without noticing the cold wind bothering the two. Bruce never once went into his Brucie persona nor he felt the man was lying.
Bruce was about to introduce himself when he heard the loud crashing of the window allowing Joker and his goons to enter the gala thus destroying the mood.
Bruce didn’t let it show but he is annoyed at the Joker’s timing as he tried to escape to change into Batman. Suddenly Nightgale grabbed him by the wrist and carried him outside bridal style, Bruce didn’t suddenly feel his heartbeat suddenly getting faster he didn’t feel his ears getting warmer as Nightgale seem to carry him out to safety, no he didn’t. Some goons tried to stop the two but Nightgale continued after he had quickly disposed of the goons that blocked their way. He didn’t feel his heart skip a beat at the fact that this man seemed to protect Bruce, the Batman like he was some princess in need of saving.
Both he and Nightgale suddenly found themselves in a hidden garden that only the Waynes knew of. Bruce didn’t feel his breath taken away by this mysterious man when he let Bruce onto his feet once again as the moon shines at them making Nightgale look so ethereal.
As soon as Nightgale heard the stroke of midnight he left Bruce after kissing the back of his hand as he kneeled in revelry.
Bruce didn’t freeze at the spot; Bruce didn’t get himself tranced at the event and had Alfred fetch him and drove him back to the manor. Bruce didn’t act like a girl in high school, squealing at having her crush notice her and ask her out as he sat behind the car back to the manor.
After teasing their father at his predicament, they are now invested in the man who seemingly took their father’s attention as well as able to develop some sort of crush on him at the gala. Jason is fully invested as he read too many novels and now sees Bruce as a main character in need of help to find his prince charming.
Danny is just minding his own business as he kept sneezing at random times and asked himself if the dead can get sick.
 PS: If someone out there wanted to continue or make a fic about this you are free to do so, don’t forget to tag me though.

Personal Sebastian Sallow Headcanons (pt. 1/?)
Tumblr media
◆ He's an October Scorpio - The characteristics line up so well and I really like the idea of him being one of the older students in his class ◆ Is the younger twin - Anne never lets him forget it. ◆ Sebastian's looks favor his father's - This plays a role in Solomon's hostility towards him. ◆ He’s Scottish and was born and raised either in New Towne Edinburgh or on the outskirts - Edinburgh in the 1800s was a foul place to live, at least in the city center, Old Towne. - I see his parents being drawn to Edinburgh. It has such a vast history and holds a lot of knowledge, but they knew they wanted to start a family and decided to settle down away from the city proper. - I don't see them having a grand mansion, more so a comfortable townhome ◆ His parents are published authors - The funds from this is what allowed them buy property in New Towne. - They left a modest inheritance to the twins that they will receive when they turn 17. ◆ After their deaths, Solomon sold the house and most of the items within to gather money to afford to care for two children. - Sebastian and Anne were able to stow away some of the parents' belongs, such as; their favorite books, jewelry, pocket watch, photo albums, and letters. ◆ His parents have portraits at Hogwarts - After the portrait versions of themselves learned of their real-life deaths, they asked to be stowed away when it came time for Sebastian and Anne to attend Hogwarts to avoid a possible unhealthy fixation on the paintings. (Imagine a scenario similar to when Harry found the Mirror of Erised and visited it every night to stare into it.) ◆ He's a virgin - Since I've given them an October birthday, the Sallow twins were 14 when Anne was cursed the summer before their 4th year. After she was cursed, the entirety of his focus and drive went into Anne and finding a cure. The only exceptions to this, pre-5th year, were his academic studies and his friendship with Ominis. - In his 3rd year, a 5th year girl took an interest in Sebastian and propositioned him to teach him the ways of physical pleasure. She was pretty, older, and he liked the attention. She thought he was cute and liked the idea of being the one in control. He was 14, she was 16. It never went past oral though. - Sebastian didn't like the idea of "ruining" (using era-accurate verbiage here) a girl because he would kill anyone who did that to Anne. - The 5th year girl played a role in giving him the confidence (charm, flirtation, etc.) we experience later. This led him to snogging other girls while in his 3rd year, but only those in years above him. He cringed at the thought of Anne hearing firsthand about his escapades from someone in their own year. - He had his first kiss at the age of 12 though. A traveling merchant's daughter who was the same age and visited Feldcroft for a few days before moving on to the next town. It was extremely awkward but also adorable. - Sebastian is canonically very well-read. That does not exclude literature on the topic of intercourse just because he's a virgin. He's read everything he's been able to find and has his own hidden copy of the Kama Sutra stashed away. ◆ He's naturally athletic - Working in the Feldcroft fields while growing up has kept him healthy and in-shape. Being an avid dueler has also helped. - He tried out for the Quidditch team his 2nd and 3rd years, but lost out to older students. He had planned to try again, but Anne's curse changed everything. ◆ He becomes a Beater for the Slytherin team his 6th year - You cannot tell me that this man doesn't become more broad and muscled as he grows. With shoulders and arms like that, his competitiveness/prowess, and his desire to impress Thea (MC), he becomes one of the best Beaters Hogwarts has ever seen.

Fugitives AU headcanons
So, remember this?
I wanted to do headcanons for this AU cuz I have nothing else to do, but well here you go
and well, disclaimer below
TW: blood, death, murderer, gore, hardcore topics, bad curses
please have discretion before reading
Ryo>
Tumblr media
Full HD image srry
Quick fun fact: Ryo is an OLD OC who had several facets in his character construction, first he was an older brother in a family of 7 or 8 brothers and then a guy with a harem of demon girls, time passed and I forgot this character, until the AU suddenly came up and I decided to use Ryo again for this AU.
✂He is not even human, he was created as a living voodoo doll in a satanic ritual with the ability to feel and think like a normal and ordinary human, but that took development, Ryo was molded as a male figure to camouflage his true appearance, his The creator constantly took him to the outside world so that he could understand it a little better. As time went by, Ryo began to understand his environment and understand humans, but his ability to feel needed to be reinforced, because the only thing Ryo felt in that world. stage of his life was curiosity.
✂Having said a little about his origin, let's talk about his past, Ryo was just curious about everything, so sometimes he ran away to interact with humans. By doing so, he began to feel happiness and began to make friends, but that happiness wouldn't last quite a long time, since his creator was a murderer without being caught, so one day he started using Ryo to kill people, even some of his friends, let's just say that Ryo's creator didn't treat him very well either, in fact He treated him like shit, if Ryo didn't obey his creator's orders, he was beaten immediately, if he didn't satisfy his interests, he cut off some limb and left him like that for a week or two, until Ryo got fed up and tried to kill his creator by setting fire to him and the place where they both lived and went to make him life independently, the fate of his creator is unknown.
✂Taking into account that he is a living voodoo doll, if Ryo harms himself, he harms another human being that Ryo can think of.
✂He doesn't have a specific age, mentally he is 25 years old, but his physical appearance does not help much, since he looks like a 17 year old teenager.
✂He's pretty smart, but he's very naive.
✂By being able to rebuild his life, Ryo became a happy and enthusiastic person, making new friends and experiencing both good and bad things.
✂Unfortunately, by living more bad experiences than good, he became a more shy and insecure person.
✂He is bisexual, but he is philophobic.
✂His philophobia is due to the fact that love hit him in the balls many times, 3 times with shitty friends and 5 times with love, he was in three groups of friends who treated him like shit, and in love he did worse, his first partner took advantage of Ryo's hospitality to steal money from him and buy drugs, the second partner cheated on him with his "best friend", the third partner was a manipulative and jealous person, the fourth partner took advantage of his kindness and abused Ryo on many occasions, physically and emotionally, and also, he only wanted him to satisfy his sexual desires (be careful, Ryo accepted only so as not to receive an insult or a beating), the fifth couple abandoned him when Ryo needed him most, and so Ryo promised himself that he would never fall in love or deepen a friendship again.
✂He doesn't like the cold or the heat.
✂He lives alone and only has a Siberian husky named "Juju" for company.
✂Work as a barista at a Starbucks.
✂He knows a lot about general culture and video game culture, which has caused people to call him a "freaky".
✂Although he is philophobic, he wishes with all his heart that someone truly loves him and loves him.
✂ahh, but if he feels like he's going to fall in love, he gets hysterical and rejects his emotions (who understands that poor guy?).
✂ Emotionally sensitive (quite a bit in fact...).
✂He ​​knows that sooner or later he must heal his emotional scars, but he's afraid.
Dolph Lazerhawk:
Tumblr media
It'll sound somewhat complicated or confusing, but since it is not known if there will be a second season of this series (yet), I had to put everything to my imagination to add the first three main characters of this series.
⚙He died? he survived? I don't know, the thing is that as you know at the end of the last episode Dolph is on a game over video game screen, BUT, with the detail that it gives you the "continue? yes or no?" screen. to which Dolph selects yes, which gives me the impression that Dolph could return, well, while we wait for the second season, let's assume that he did returned, as soon as he was able to escape from the Wasteland to rescue Bullfrog, his robotic arm was screwed and barely had any strength, luckily Bullfrog found him and took him away from the wasteland and a little to the outskirts of Eden.
⚙He still thinks about what could have happened to Marcus Holloway, but he still plans to one day destroy Sarah Fisher.
⚙He will look like he doesn't give a shit about everything, but deep down he genuinely cares about those people with whom he rarely empathizes.
⚙Gay 🏳‍🌈 (hell yeah💅).
⚙He likes drinks from other countries, especially if they are cocktails or alcoholic drinks.
⚙He still has a hard time trusting people, since after being betrayed twice, he doesn't easily trust anyone (except a little for Bullfrog).
⚙He is strong-willed, but can be a little emotional at times.
⚙To recover a little physically, he does a daily exercise routine.
⚙As the days went by, he learned to get over what happened with Alex.
⚙He tries to gain confidence in Ramón, since he still doesn't know that Ramón gave up on Eden after learning the truth.
⚙Also, he tries to get along with him only because Bullfrog trusts him completely.
⚙He is the strongest of the trio (that is, him, Ramón and Bullfrog).
Bullfrog:
Tumblr media
🐸It's like the emotional and moral support of the trio.
🐸His favorite flavor of juice is orange.
🐸He has tried to get Ramón to stop taking drugs, and so far it worked.
🐸He is the most agile and fastest of the trio.
🐸Desmond Miles was his mentor, but he was executed in live in the electric chair.
🐸He's still a little emotional about what happened to Peyj', Jade and Cody Rhodes, so he always tries to protect the only two people he has left by his side.
🐸Perhaps the kindest of the trio.
🐸He is quite understanding of his group and cares a lot about his comrades.
🐸Always tries to prevent Dolph and Ramon from starting to fight.
🐸Over the days, Bullfrog has begun to have feelings for Ramón.
🐸If there is something that hurts him, shits him, lascras him and excretes him, it is that you mess with him and his comrades, apart from making fun of him.
🐸Every time he thinks it's necessary to lighten the atmosphere, he puts some music.
🐸Bullfrog knows about Ramón's probable insomnia.
Rayman/Ramón:
Tumblr media
💥Since they left Eden, Ramón is still a little mentally damaged.
💥Although he has stopped taking drugs at Bullfrog's request, he still cannot give up alcohol.
💥Emotionally vulnerable.
💥He is easily irritable.
💥Every time he bleaches his hair to a platinum yellow color so as not to show his natural blonde.
💥He is closer to Bullfrog since he was the only one who opened his eyes to the real Eden.
💥He is pessimistic.
💥His entire vision of the world is broken.
💥The only thing worth it to him is Bullfrog.
💥He still has hope that things can get better.
💥He has quite eyebags because he has trouble sleeping.
💥His eye color changes depending on his mood.
💥There are times he cries while he sleeps.
💥Even though Bullfrog always asks him to, he can't get along easily with Dolph and always wants to beat him up.
💥Over the days, he has started to have feelings for Bullfrog, but he doesn't know if Bullfrog feels the same way about him (don't worry buddy, I'm sure he does).
💥He is the strategist of the trio.
Fakeman:
Tumblr media
Or raymesis, whatever you want to call it, but I call it Fakeman
Be careful that some data may change as the AU plot progresses (when it comes out, obviously 😳)
🎙Obviously he doesn't know that he is a mere clone of the original Rayman.
🎙He brushes his hair every moment to make sure it's "perfect."
🎙He is quite vanidous, or he always puts on perfume when going out, takes care of his hair with special creams or brushes his eyebrows or does all of them.
🎙He can be a damn diva when he puts his mind to it.
🎙He has no filter to speak.
🎙He's not that different from Rayman/Ramón, he drinks alcohol and smokes but in moderation, the only exceptions are that he doesn't take drugs and is not as violent.
🎙Like Ramón, he is unaware of Eden's shameless acts.
🎙He SURE hasresorted to s3x to reduce his stress, satisfy his desires or make a deal with dirty money while doing this gesture:
Tumblr media
The drawing belongs to @skronklpus
🎙Speaking of, always before starting the act, he always says "I hope you know how to please me correctly"
🎙He is usually a hypocrite with people, especially with "terrorists".
🎙He took over Ramón's apartment, first he cleaned it and remodeled it to his liking.
🎙His attitude in front of cameras divided the world, some see him as something with no importance, others feel intimidated by him and others don't give a shit about his existence.
🎙He's a tremendous motherfucker in every sense of the word (until now).
9/0ttis:
Tumblr media
Let's start with 9:
🌱He lived in a serene town in Washington, but his town had a certain rivalry with Eden because of his regime. Eden bombed the town because they had the necessary resources to overthrow Eden.
🌱9 is friendly, gentle and loving, but is a bit reserved.
🌱He believes in second chances and that the third time is always the charm.
🌱7 is her love interest as is 5 (a polyamorous love to be exact).
🌱Never looks for or creates problems.
🌱He lived with 2 in a nice house in a small neighborhood.
🌱He is quite interested in agriculture, in fact, he had crops of various fruits in his backyard.
🌱He loves children, that's why he did babysitting shifts 3 times.
🌱After the bombing and losing 2, 3 and 4, and 8, 9 was left with an enormous trauma, months later, 9 was adopted by a hopelessly alcoholic man who didn't work and constantly physically abused him.
🌱As a result of this abuse, 9 developed dissociative personality disorder (or multiple personality disorder for easier) and that's how Ottis emerged.
Now Ottis:
🔥Ottis killed his adoptive "Father" as revenge for those abuses.
🔥Unlike 9, Ottis is aggressive, vengeful, violent and perhaps a little malevolent.
🔥He is overprotective with 9, he thinks that 9 is very vulnerable, so he always tries to prevent him from fronting for too long.
🔥Ottis fronts almost all the time.
🔥Ottis has attacked and killed people to protect himself and 9.
🔥He has serious anger problems, so he can barely control his emotions.
🔥Lets 9 front only if they need to shop.
🔥Despite having a bad temper, he has a soft side, especially with children, in fact, he did babysitting at least once.
🔥He is very good at choreographing, since he has a little more body energy than 9.
🔥He is a pro at mathematics, especially if it involves mental calculation.
🔥He lives his life swearing to himself to kill the precursor of the bombing (Rayman) and Eden's cronies.
Fact about both: They're both like a combination of Wanda Maximoff (Marvel) and Kevin Wendel Crumb (Sliver), so 9/Ottis' powers are ALMOST the same, except Ottis breathes fire.
5:
Tumblr media
💊He is quite insecure and shy.
💊He rarely gets angry with people.
💊He is madly in love with 9.
💊He studied medicine and served to treat wounds and injuries in the Red Cross 3 times.
💊He, along with 7, was the only one who survived the bombing of his town.
💊He's been trying to find 9 for several months.
💊He used to leave letters in his mailbox for 9 telling him hints that he likes him.
💊He confessed to 9 in a small park.
💊He doesn't know how to lie.
💊BUT, he knows how to cook pretty well.
💊Today, he's a part-shift doctor, but 5 can also be a bastard.
💊If he feels threatened or insulted, he injects fenthalin into your food.
💊It's very sensitive.
💊He gets panic attacks when he gets frustrated or if he's very scared.
7:

Wally darling:
Tumblr media
🍎He knows perfectly well about the Eden regime, so he infiltrated it and was hired to make a puppet show for children.
🍎Secretly, he plans to overthrow Eden.
🍎His reason? He knows that they send children to war and he wants to prevent it.
🍎He has a cult along with his other comrades, such as an Anti-Eden and Home cult.
🍎He has a look that penetrates the soul.
🍎His height remains the same as the canonical one, about 12 blocks high.
🍎He's surprisingly intimidating, despite his adorable appearance.
🍎Another canon thing that he will keep is that he eats with his eyes.
🍎This fact that is related to the previous one is that they can burst anything with their eyes apart from food, be it objects or even some part of your body.
🍎Although he lives in Eden, he lives almost on the outskirts of it with his group of friends.
🍎The DOES know how to lie.
🍎His attitude and monotonous voice usually make the people around him uncomfortable.
Pomni:
Tumblr media
My reason why she is here is very stupid and I don't know why I find it so funny since I put Pomni just for this image:
Tumblr media
This pic is so random but anyway, I use my strange imagination, but hey, let's continue:
-Just to be clear, that didn't happen, but for some reason it seemed like a good idea to include it with a traumatic context.
🎈Pomni has lived in Eden all her life.
🎈She watched the Rayman show when she was a kid, but she never became a "Rayman girl."
🎈By the time she became an adult, she worked for a circus, but her salary was low and she couldn't leave the place, also, the treatment towards her employees was shit, so Pomni hated that place and little by little she became crazy.
🎈She met Ragatha in that same circus and she was the only person he trusted.
🎈After a while, she became Ragatha's girlfriend.
🎈She doesn't like to be touched without her consent.
🎈The reason she became a fugitive is because she burned down the entire circus, and she and the other members separated to continue with their lives.
🎈She is very shy and paranoid, perhaps the paranoia is more notable since she is never off guard in case someone finds her and Ragatha.
🎈Use a giant mallet to defend herself.
🎈A canon fact that will remain is that she DOES NOT know how to cook.
🎈Pro in math x2.
🎈Another one who has no filter to speak.
🎈She likes seafood, especially salmon.
Ragatha:
Tumblr media
The image is not mine.
❤Ragatha lived in Roanoke, Virginia since she was created, but later moved to Eden to look for a job.
❤She ended up working in the same circus as Pomni, that's where he met her and fell in love with her.
❤She participated in the circus fire and decided to make a life with Pomni.
❤A canon fact that will remain is that she's afraid of centipedes.
❤Ragatha is the only one who knows how to cook.
❤She hates drawing because she finds it complicated and tedious.
❤100% optimistic
❤She has a fantasy of riding a horse and riding through a quiet meadow outside of Eden's regime.
❤She's worried about Pomni's paranoia and always tells her that she shouldn't worry so much.
❤Another fact that will remain is that she plays the cello, that relaxes her.
❤Uses a butcher knife to defend herself.
So this is pt.1 AND for S1
See ya :)

Nawwaf Solis for Beyond the Pines by @themotherplant
17 * He/Him * Asexual * Creative * Mean
Nawwaf's life has been full of ups and downs. His mother did her best to raise him as a single mom, but she struggled to keep a job and they were homeless by the time he was a toddler. She decided to make the difficult decision to give him up for adoption when she ran out of money to feed them.
As a child, Nawwaf was adopted by Brennan and Addisyn Solis. They moved him into their three bedroom high rise in San Myshuno and he immediately felt culture shock. It took him a while to get adjusted to always having more than enough and it still surprises him sometimes. He channeled his complex emotions into his art and was starting to show real promise. Then high school happened.
His first year of high school was one of the worst years of his life. Being a creative outcast with an Arabic name, he was the target of intense bullying. His parents tried to help him, but they lived a very privileged life and have never been able to truly understand his struggles. Something inside of him hardened that year and he came back sophomore year a changed person.
As part of this change, he started to work out all the time and gave into some of the high fashion trends that his classmates wore. He even gave up art and joined the football team. Now he could both blend in better and stand up for himself. However, he lost himself along the way and it all became twisted when he started to join the bullies. He even started to push them to go further, especially with the physical violence.
Flash forward to the end of junior year and he has officially been expelled. In just one school year, he got caught starting fifteen different fights and accused of ten others. His new found mean streak has even spilled over into his attitude toward his teachers and his parents. The final straw was when the last fight sent three boys to the hospital with one now having permanent brain damage from the severe concussion he received.
Nawwaf's parents are truly at their wits end about what to do with him. They adopted him later in life and are now elders just trying their best, but in truth they are scared of the path that he is going down. They have tried talking with him and just spend time with him to show that they are there. Unfortunately, it all just leads to arguments with Nawwaf leaving the room screaming at them. Feeling like they have no other choice, Brennan and Addisyn are enrolling Nawwaf in New Dawn to hopefully get back their quiet, creative little boy.

A Guy
Dear Future Husband,
It's been several months since I've heard from CousinAR, who is freshly back from seminary and getting ready to start college, but on Thursday she messaged to say hey and also ask about my shidduch resume and what I'm looking for. And then she and her mom CousinES called me to discuss.
Because it's about a guy.
I'm pretty sure it's not you though, for quite a few reasons.
Reason #1:
I don't think our families would be compatible.
He's apparently from a yeshivish family with like ten kids, they all do impressive things for work, and they grew up in a very fancy place.
Me? Not so much. To pretty much all of the above.
I think I wouldn't fit in well at all with his siblings.
And I've been an oddball for so much of my life that if/when I get married I want it to be with a family that feels like family.
Or with someone who has literally nothing to do with their family so it's just the two of us in our own happy little bubble.
Either one.
Reason #2:
He has the exact same name as the father of the family that lived. next door to me pretty much my entire first 28 years of life.
MrNextDoor is a very nice, chashuv person. But he's also kind of overbearing and inserts himself into situations where he's not always welcome. I guess social cues are just not his forte.
I will admit that his pushiness has been a benefit on some occasions, as he's been able to accomplish some amazing things including setting up schools, getting neighborhood ordinances followed, and one of my non-frum grandparents actually got a proper burial because he not only insisted on coming to the levaya despite it being an hour away, but also brought proper shovels and stood there in the hot sun with my brother filling in the grave before the bobcat could come and finish the job.
But I'm a weirdo who just can not see past the name.
In a hypothetical situation where we dated and he actually liked me and I liked him and we ended up getting married, there would never be a day in my life where I couldn't say his name and not think of MrNextDoor and it makes me so uncomfortable to even think about.
It's just too ew for me, even if he is a nice guy.
(because I'm a mess of a human, obviously)
Reason #3:
He's 5 years younger than me.
And in case we haven't covered this ground yet, I'm an agist.
Whenever I hear about an age gap, my first thoughts go to what that time disparity represents.
For one thing, it means that I graduated high school the year he was bar mitzvahed. Which is weird.
For another, it means that he's still in his 20s and I'm so "middle aged" already. lol
And in a lot of ways he's still very young, while I'm just so decidedly not. Not physically, not emotionally.
And that also leads into
Reason #4:
He doesn't have a full time job yet.
He's bounced around a bit in terms of work, trying to find a community where he feels comfortable, and jobs have understandably come along with that kind of moving.
But that also means he's not a settled person. And he's young, he has that option in life. But I'm an old curmudgeon and although we may be compatible in a lot of ways, I need someone who is more settled than I am to be the rock in the relationship.
Reason #5:
He's studying to become a mashgiyach.
Not a yeshivah mashgiyach, but a food mashgiyach.
You may be wondering why that's a reason not to marry someone, and for some people, maybe even a lot of people, that's not a problem.
But I grew up in a household that was built on the instability of a family "supported" by a mashgiyach.
For the first 10 years of my life my father was hardly ever around. He worked odd, long hours out of town and constantly hopped from job to job.
I don't know if things are different now, but at the time mashgiyach work was more like gig work than it was a real job.
In those first 10 years my father worked at 17 different places, but the last two years he was at one location, so it was more like 16 jobs in 8 years.
That's not stability.
And I know we're in galus.
I know we're not supposed to be comfortable.
I know that just because someone has a steady job now doesn't mean they will tomorrow.
And I know that everything is in Hashem's hands.
But I also know that you have to do hishtadlus.
And if you're doing the work of a shoeshine man on the side of a road where nobody walks, you're not going to become a millionaire through your work.
Unless you're a gadol. I'm sure we've all heard those stories.
But for the beinoni - for those of us in the middle, we have to at least attempt steady, stable work at a certain pay grade for Hashem to provide that kind of sustenance.
And I don't see that happening for me with a mashgiyach.
Considering how much the average cost of living is today in the US, generally. And considering how much higher the average cost of living is today in the frum world... I don't see the paycheck of a mashgiyach cutting it to provide for a family, with or without whatever I'm making to contribute.
Reason #6:
I just don't know how to broach the whole "I don't think I can have kids" thing with my cousins.
On the one hand, I don't want to put a stumbling block before the blind by going out and forming relationships with young guys who believe that's a possibility with me.
On the other hand, I know that everything is in Hashem's hands and I know a woman who was told she'd never have kids and went on to have like 15, so just because I think I might not be able to doesn't mean I won't at all.
But having children is his chiyuv, not mine. It should be his decision whether or not to pursue a relationship like that.
So do I not tell CousinAR and her mom, the two people in this equation that I know and trust, about the whole kids thing?
Does even talking about it make it an ayin hara and less likely to happen for me?
Do I keep allowing CousinAR and her mom to make shidduch suggestions for me, all the while keeping this huge secret and finding reason after reason to shut down their suggestions?
Reason #7:
I don't really find him all that attractive.
I know, I know, it's the whole shallow conversation all over again, but it's true.
And again, that's such a hard thing to say to someone who is so excited to make the suggestion in the first place.
"He's so nice! And I was listening to what he was looking for and I just kept thinking you fit all those boxes!"
I've explained that even if I don't think I'm the right person, I'm more than happy to chat with someone even once to see if maybe I know someone else for them.
But
Reason #8:
I'm still a mess of a human. I think we know this. It's been established. We continue to go over this again and again.
And it's sweet that my cousins don't recognize that about me.
But that also means I'm hiding it really well. Which is a problem.
But I think we've covered all of that before...
And so, here we are again.
A nice suggestion, but me lost in the middle just so unsure of how to say "thank you, but no thank you."
I can't be the only one that struggles with this, right?

Ghost Story live blog
Ghost story 
I already know how and why Harry died. It would have been interesting to see if I could have figured it out. 
Mort has to show up in this book right? His whole thing is a ghost and now Harry’s a ghost. 
“Life is hard. 
Dying’s easy” pg. 1 Yep 
Carmichael! 
Is Harry in limbo? 
“Being here? With you? I’ve met my subconscious, and he’s not that slick.” pg. 6 Ha 
Harry you should know better than to use your Sight all Willy dilly 
Isn’t Amitiel an archangel? He has the -el suffix and that would explain why he stopped Harry’s Sight 
“The opposition” Jake said. You died because they cheated.” So a fallen angel had a hand in Harry’s death? I thought it was because Harry used Kincaid as a proxy to kill himself so he wouldn’t be the winter knight? Is there more at play here? Do I have a mystery to sink my teeth in? Yay! 
Wait where’s that quote from White Night ah found it “Once you start thinking, Gee maybe that isn’t me thinking about suicide, it kind of falls apart” Could this be apart of it? Could a fallen angel drive Harry to suicide. But if that’s the case then it wouldn’t be suicide it’d be murder right? I wonder which one? Why would the fallen kill Harry now? They’re not even in this book. 
“The faded, years-old scar I’d given myself on my right forearm, when my knife slipped while cleaning the fish my grandfather and I had caught, was missing also.” pg. 16 Oh more info about Harry’s time with Eb
“You want me to solve my own murder?” pg. 17 Only Harry could get in this much trouble being dead. And only Harry could solve his own murder. They said murder not suicide so there’s definitely more going on here.
“Won’t have much magic” pg. 18 Oh no that’s going to make things difficult 
“If it makes any difference” Jake said, “three of the people you love will come to great harm unless you find your murder.” pg. 19 Oh no 
Did Harry just call Murphy Karrin as in her first name?! 
Is Harry’s grave going to come up? Surely it will it’s his grave and he’s dead.
Wait so Jake is Murphy’s dad aw 
Mort! 
Why does this ghost know who Harry is? 
“And nothing-nothing at all-happened. 
There was no stirring of forces deep inside me. There was no current of equal parts giddy excitement, vibrating tension, and raw lighting flashing through my thoughts. There was no flash of white-hot flame that would have incinerated the apparition coming towards me. 
There was no magic 
There was no magic.” pg. 33 Oh no and I love this paragraph and how it describes what Harry feels when he does magic.
Wraiths are scary
“Oh perfect”
“Hiya, Morty” pg. 40 Ha
It’s been six months! 
“There is snow a foot and a half deep on the ground,” I said, pointing in a random direction “in May” pg. 44 Mab is up to something. Is she part of this? Is she trying to get her knight back? Is she mad that Harry reneged on their deal? So many questions
“I had a thing or two to learn about how formable will translated to power on the spooky side of the street” pg. 50 Is Harry going to get ghost powers?!
“This was terror of an alien vintage: I was helpless.” pg. 51 Oh no
I like Sir Stuart 
“Magic. The Gray Ghost was using magic.” pg. 57 Oh no 
“Oh. Plus I could run through freaking walls.” pg. 63 So cool ghost powers
“It’s crazy for a ghost to interact with the physical world. Sane ghosts don’t go around acting crazy.” pg. 65 So Harry is definitely going to be able to physically interact with the world. Because Harry is crazy 
“This is your fault Dresden.” pg. 66 How is this Harry’s fault Mort? 
“…sunk into him” pg. 66 Possession! Ghost powers! 
“Defendarius!” I barked, faux Latin, the old defense spell I’d learned from Justin DuMorne. pg. 83 Interesting I wonder why Harry used that spell? Is it because he now uses his shield bracelet instead? But now he doesn't have the bracelet and he falls back on this? Is this part of Harry’s training from Justin to be his personal enforcers? On a slight tangent do you think Justin didn’t teach Elaine and Harry certain magic? Or make sure they couldn’t go against him. 
“Heroes know better than to hand the universe lines like that.” pg. 94 Ha 
“Susan’s blood…everywhere” pg. 98 Therapy please 
“Why do I feel like I should be lying on a couch somewhere?” pg. 99 Is this it? Is Harry finally getting therapy while he’s dead? Or at least something close to therapy? Please tell me it’s therapy. Harry/Therapy my otp. I’ve been saying since the third book that Harry needs therapy. One of these books he better get some. Or at least go to Lilly the Summer Lady and get all his feelings out.
“That car shouldn’t be there.”
“An expensive one” pg. 106 Marcone? Am I getting Marcone? Please by Marcone 
“Murphy house had been warded, its natural defense threshold used as a foundation for further, more aggressive defensive.” pg. 108 Oh who warded it? 
“I told you not to show up early anymore, Child’s” pg. 113 CHILDS! You’re one of Marcone’s men. Why is Murphy meeting with one of Marcone’s men?
“Marcone’s top murderer-“ pg. 114 Marcone mention! I believe the polite term is troubleshooter 
“Ragged lady” pg. 114 Who’s the Ragged lady?
“When she was working with Dresden, I’d have said yes, in a heartbeat, without reservation.” 
“Now…Dresden gone. And she came back from Chichen Itza changed.” Murphy said “Maybe post-traumatic stress. Maybe something more than that. She’s different.” Oh no poor Molly I mean it has to be Molly. Who else could the Ragged Lady be 
“Tears blurred my eyes as I saw Mister” pg. 118 Mister! He’s ok :) Now I assume Mouse is with Maggie wherever she is.
Murphy has a buzz cut 
Where’s Molly?
This is the Justice League that Murph and Will  were talking about it in Side Jobs
“That will be up to Marcone” pg. 130 Marcone mention 
“Daniel snorted at exactly the same time I did.” pg. 131 Ha and I also snorted: what's the White Council going to do? 
“Then she whipped the pistol in a bone-breaking stroke, smashing it into the vampire’s jaw.
“Yes!” I hissed, clenching my hands into fists.” pg. 140 Ha and I also audibly said yes and pumped my fist. I think Harry is rubbing off on me.
“Oh, my,” Sir Stuart said, his voice muted with respect. “I can see why you’d come to her for assistance.”
“Damn skippy” pg. 141 Ha 
“Spirits are almost never this…”
“Stubbornly willful?” Murphy suggested.
“Insistent,” Mort finished, his expression neutral. pg. 148 Ha
“Mister is a lot of cat, checking in at right around thirty pounds. The impact staggered me, and I rocked back, and then quickly leaned down to run my hand over the cat’s fur. He felt like he always did, and his rumbling purr was loud and happy.” pg. 149 Aw Harry can pet Mister :)
“It took me a second to realize that I could touch Mister. I could feel the softness of his fur and the warmth of his body.” pg. 149 Yay 
“Oh sure, Professional ectomancer with a national reputation as a medium tells you what’s going on, and nobody believes him. But let a stump-tailed, furry critter come in and everyone goes all Lifetime.” pg. 150 Ha and Aw 
Oh no Power vacuum 
“We built wards around Karren’s house. Three hundred people from the Paranet, all working together.” pg. 157 Yay 
“They were all scared of Molly.” pg. 158 Oh no :(
“You don’t have any idea what you’re asking me to go through.” pg. 165 Oh now I remember Molly erased Harry’s memory of getting Kincaid to kill him. And Mab, Deamonreach, and Bonnie kept him alive.
“You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me.” pg. 167 Ha 
“Chewbacca is with her” pg. 169 Yay 
“It was the first time I used magic” pg. 175 I love that Harry uses his memory of first using magic to help him.
Harry’s talking to himself again 
Oh interesting Fitz can hear Harry 
“Old books and old movies. I had to help this kid.” pg. 203 Does Fliz remind Harry of himself? 
“I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so… 
Peaceful. Content.
And free. Free to do nothing. Free to rest. Free to turn away from horrible, black things in my memory, to let go of burdens for a while.
I left my eyes closed for a time, and let the contentment and quiet fill me.” pg. 209 While I’m glad Harry’s content and peaceful it’s a little concerning that it’s only because he’s dead. 
“Did you die doing the right thing?”
“I…No. I didn’t” pg. 214 No you saved your daughter that counts for something 
“I had become what I always fought” pg. 216 Just because you made a possible mistake at the end of your life doesn’t negate all the good you did in your life. One bad deed doesn’t outweigh the good. 
“The gates of the cemetery were being left open.” pg. 223 A clue! 
“Hot diggity dog” I said grinning “The games a-freaking foot!” pg. 224 Ha 
“It was on fire” pg. 225 Oh no Mort’s house
“Harry Dresden-I take responsibility for more impossible situations in the first twenty-four hours of being dead than most people do all day.” pg. 235 Yep that’s Harry alright 
Butters!
Bob!
“Don’t have to, former boss” pg. 246 This got me tearing up. 
“It doesn’t upset me” I said even though it sort of did” pg. 248 It upsets me 
“The one he organized to help defend the city from the formor.”
“I figured you knew…Marcone Baron John Marcone.” pg. 249 Marcone mentions I love that he’s a part of The Chicago Alliance. Again with the references to the Formor. Are they the people Harry and co fight in Battle Ground? Wait, is the headquarters the castle? 
“It’s license plate read: MeepMeep” pg. 250 Ha 
“The same Justin who had adopted me and trained me to grow into a monster, and who had eventually decided I wasn’t tractable enough and attempted to kill me.” pg. 261 Justin is the worst and I think we’re gonna learn more about him and Harry’s time training with him given how he keeps getting brought up. 
“Someone had turned the ruins of my old home into a freaking fortress.” pg. 264 Marcone did and it’s great 
“It read, simply, Brighter Future Society” pg. 264 Yep I love this. The castle is a monument to all Harry’s done. I love that Marcone built it over Harry’s house. Is the lab still there? I love the name. Because is it not what Harry fought for. For a brighter future 
“To build on the ruins of the boardinghouse, construction would have to start practically the same day that I died. Actual stone is expensive to build with because it’s difficult and time-consuming. This place was as big as a small castle. It should have taken months and months and months to build. It gone up in six. Probably significantly less, given the weather.
“This place must have cost a damned fortune” pg. 265 Yep I think the castle is a monument to the good Harry’s done and all that he stood for. Marcone must have planned this for a while. It definitely cost a fortune given that I looked up similar relocations, one from the 1925 cost $250,000 inflation would make it $3,213,414.29 in 2011 when the Ghost Story was published. That’s a lot of money. Did Marcone approached Murphy about the Brighter Future Society. Murphy approaches Marcone? What was everyone’s reaction to the castle? Were they mad that Marcone bought the land that was Harry’s home and then built a castle over it? Were they glad they had a headquarters? What was Marcone’s reaction to Harry’s death and ghost? Was there a funeral?  
Did anybody in the White Council mourn? Was there a Worry Room meeting? Oh no what was Ebenezar’s and Thomas’s reaction? 
“Too simple,” I said “Too easy. He’s running some kind of game on you.” pg. 268 Or he could ya know want to help. Honestly Harry Marcone isn’t evil incarnate 
“About five minutes after I get a functional lightsaber” pg. 271 Ha
“I know it wasn’t Marcone” Murphy said. “All trouble shooters have alibis that check out. So did he and Gard and Hendricks.” pg. 275 Why would it be Marcone? Honestly people 
“No going to Marcone for help.” He paused and looked around the room as if he’d never seen it before “Because that would be…unpredictable.” pg. 277 Ha and that’s rich coming from Murphy and Harry as they stand in the castle that Marcone provided and staffed with his men. 
“The real Dresden wouldn’t hesitate.”
“The real Dresden would never have gotten a chance to see them. To talk to them. He’d just skip straight to a fight.” 284 First can we not talk about “real Dresden” second yes things have changed since Harry’s death nobody’s the same anymore not even Harry. 
Yep Kincaid shot Harry. I want to know more about cheating. If we take the fact that the other side pushed Harry then which fallen angel and why? It’s not Lash obviously, maybe Lanciel or Lucifer? What push caused Harry to go through with the shooting? 
“News of my death would shatter Ivy.” pg. 288 Oh no poor Ivy :( Oh no she probably knows it was Kincaid who shot Harry. Oh no, why? 
Surely Harry will get his magic back? Right? 
“The first conscious spell I’d knowingly worked, fully planned, fully visualized, fully realized, had been calling forth a burst of fire.” pg. 296 Of course Harry’s first spell was fire
Boo Justin get away from Harry 
“He had very long, slender fingers but his hands could make fists that were hard as rocks.” 
“If I angered Justin, he went from saying please to using fist. pg. 297 Glad Harry burned Justin to death. Can I go meet his ghost in a denny's parking lot? I just want to talk ignore the baseball bat 
I love how teen Harry talks about his interest in comic book superheroes
“Sedjet” pg. 297 Oh that’s not a word Harry usually uses to use magic
“I flicked the starter on the Bic lighter I had palmed in my right hand.” pg. 299 Ha
“Justin held his fist right next my face, until the heat was beginning to make me uncomfortable, but he never flinched and his flesh remained unharmed.” pg. 300 This reminds me of the similar situation with Harry and Molly
“Unremarkable. Complement. His mouth twisted and his voice turned bitter “Mediocre. Mediocrity is a terrible fate, Harry” pg. 301 Justin needs to chill like what’s wrong with average? Not everyone wants to be known or the best 
“I will have no shrikers here, boy” pg. 301 I don’t like that Justin calls Harry boy here 
“No one had ever told me I was special before. But Justin had. No one had ever taken so much time to do anything with me. Ever. Justin had.” pg. 301 Poor Harry :( 
“You know.’ Cause…the mediocrity” pg. 301 I love that Harry used the ‘mediocrity’ and turned it on its head.
“Good. When all is done, I think you’ll find baseball a rewarding experience.” pg. 303 Flashbacks to how Harry learned to shield. This is giving me vibes of the cycle of abuse but I might just be reading too much into it. Harry mentions Justin using his fist and now he’s giving Harry a “gift” especially since I know how that gift is going to be used in the future. Justin reminds me of abusive parents
“Flickum bicus” I whispered.
“The fire was every bit as beautiful as I remembered.” pg. 304 Yay Harry got his magic back! 
Oh Harry’s talking to himself 
“I had learned how to do magic the hard way first-all of it in my head. Only after I’d proved I could it without props did Justin tell me that it was even use them.” pg. 307 Interesting that Justin taught him the hard way. I wonder why
“When Justin began teaching me how to create protective shields, he threw baseballs at me at top speed. When I failed, I was hit with a fastball moving at more than eighty miles per hour. Justin said pain was an excellent motivator, and that the activity was good training.” pg. 311 Boo I still don’t like this training method. Pain is a stupid motivator. Justin’s training sucks 
Lea is here. Why is she “training” Molly? For her taking the Winter Lady mantle? 
“Harry didn’t believe that” Molly said, her voice brittle. “He never hurt me.” pg. 312 As he should. 
Molly’s gotten better at magic ah! I’m so proud 
Oh Lea taught Harry? Interesting 
“I am, however, reasonably good with fire” pg.329 Ha and biggest understatement ever 
Why is Molly homeless? Why isn’t she staying with her parents? 
“Is that what it’s like for you? Throwing fire that way.” pg. 339 Is Molly jealous of all the raw power that Harry has? 
I do wonder if Harry’s problem with control is in part because he has a lot of raw power and it’s like holding back a ocean and that’s hard to control, just naturally bad control, or something Justin had some part to play in it or a combination of the three.
“Of you, Harry. You could find anything in this town, but you never even noticed the shadow you cast” Her eyes overflowed and she slashed them angrily with one hand. “Every time you defied someone, every time you came out on top against things you couldn’t possibly have beaten your name grew. And they feared that name. There were other cities to prey on-cities that didn’t have the mad wizard Dresden defending them. They feared you.” pg. 342 Yeah Harry can be scary 
“I grew up an orphan with nothing but a few vague memories of my father before he died. My childhood hadn’t been the kind of thing I’d wish on anyone. I had run into some bad people. Justin was the worst-a true monster.” pg. 344 Poor Harry 
“When I was sixteen or seventeen, still agonized by his betrayal, and certain that I would never know anything like a home, friends, or family, I made myself a promise: I would never allow a child of mine to grow up as I had-driven from home to home, an easy victim with no protector, never stable, never certain.
Never” pg. 34 Poor Harry poor Maggie 
“It was home.
My home.
Sweet home Chicago” pg. 349 Aw I love that Harry loves his city
Oh Fitz knows about Harry. Yes Harry helps people 
Am I going to see Nick again?
The Astor case! Faith! 
“In thirty years? You live like this and…Seven? That’s it? That’s all?” 
“Nick leaned back in his chair and gave Fitz a small smile. “That’s enough” pg. 364 I love Nick 
“Yeah” Fitz signed “He…kinda doesn’t shut up.” pg. 371 Ha 
Ah Harry’s having Fitz knock on the secret compartment from The Warrior 
Is Fitz going to pull a Le Mis? Steal the candle sticks from a priest
“(It burned down.) 
(I was not responsible)” pg. 386 Ha and yes you were responsible Harry 
Oh no Morty 
Oh no Evil Bob
Oh no the Gray Ghost is Corpsetaker 
“I’d survived my original encounter with her thanks only to the intervention of “Gentleman” John Marcone, little bit of luck and better guesswork, and some truly epic paranoia.” pg. 416 Marcone mention and glad that Harry remembers that Marcone helped him.
“Justin had manipulated us both masterfully. He wanted us to bond. He wanted us to feel isolated from everyone else and loyal to him. Though he put a facade about it that fooled me at the time, he wanted us to work through our nascent sexuality with each other and save him the bother of explaining anything-or the risk of either Elaine or me forming attachments with someone outside our little circle.” pg. 419 Yeah isolating is part of the abuse 
“Tears blurred my vision as I asked him, in a very quiet, very confused voice, “why?” pg. 420 Sobbing
“He’d never told me about the White Council or the rest of the supernatural world. Abusers like to isolate their victims. People who feel that they are completely alone tend not to fight back.” pg. 422 Yep Justin is the worst 
Lea! 
“I missed that episode” pg. 425 Ha
“I do not know what happened between the time you left Justin and the time you came to me.” pg. 425 Oh Harry ran to Lea 
“You do not settle things by half measures, do you, my godson?” pg. 427 Yep that’s Harry 
“And the Thing standing just inside the door.” pg. 436 Oh no it’s He Who Walks Behind! I know that capital letter when I see it. 
“Neither fear nor pain sway you from your objective. Excellent” pg. 442 Why is HWWB so happy by this? 
“Child of the stars.” Oh what’s this? Is there more to Harry? Proficiency? or stars align on his birth? 
“There was a flickering heartbeat of uncertainty in that inevitable presence, and the creature said, “What” pg. 447 Ha and Harry really threw this Eldritch abomination for a loop with that 
“But I can choose which way I turn.” pg. 447 Yes smart use that knowledge Harry 
“I expected better of a pupil of DuMorne.” pg. 448 Does HWWB know Justin personally? 
Oh no poor Stan
“It.
Wasn’t.
Right.
No, it wasn’t. But the world wasn’t a fair place, was it? And I had more reason to know it than most people twice my age. The world wasn’t nice, and it wasn’t fair. People who didn’t deserve it suffered and died every single day. 
So what? So somebody ought to do something about it.” 451 So cool I love that this quote shows us Harry’s character 
“Fuego!” pg. 452 Yay
Interesting I always thought Harry fought HWWB after he killed Justin and Justin used his death curse to release HWWB. So Harry defeated an Eldritch Abomination then fought Justin. Why didn’t Justin use his death curse on Harry? What does HWWB want? 
“Your killer was but the proxy of another being, and one mightier and more dangerous than he” pg. 466 Interesting this means that Harry is mightier and more dangerous than Kincaid. This could also be about the proxy with the fallen angels. 
Bob’s skull is cool
“And besides…he was my oldest friend.” pg. 480 Aw :) 
“Because of that thing,” Daniel said, nodding toward me.” pg. 494 Rude 
“Hell, she’s even taken help from Marcone.” pg. 495 What’s so wrong with that? Marcone’s more of an ally at this point than an enemy. 
“Daniel Carpenter leaned back, lifted a size-fourteen work boot, and kicked the door leading to the factory floor completely off its hinges.” pg. 498 Yay 
“Allow me to clarify,” I said “Touch him and you and I are going to throw down.” pg. 507 So cool 
“I will see him safely to the next world. The Prince of Darkness himself will not wrest him from me.” pg. 508 So cool 
“He’d recognized something in his old teacher’s words or manner. I’d seen the faces of abused wives while they watched their husbands drink, sickly certain that the cycle of abuse would renew itself in the coming hours. Fitz knew Aristedes looked like when he was about to dispense violence.” pg. 511 I’m glad this book is going into cycle of abuse 
Oh no Daniel 
“I stifled a furious scream of my own and looked away as the sorcerer bent and twisted the energy of Creation itself into a means of torment.” pg. 520 I love that Harry hates how magic gets twisted 
“When I faced my old master, I did it with newly made staff and blasting rod in hand, with the ancient forces of the universe at my call and with words of power upon my tongue. 
Fitz had more courage than I had as a child.
He went to face his demons with no weapon at all.” pg. 529 So cool 
“Present company excluded,” I said 
“You don’t count,” the skull said stoutly. “You were drafted” pg. 539 This does make me wonder why Harry’s still a warden post coming back to life. I feel like dying would relinquishing his warden duties 
I love Bob and Harry’s friendship 
“Come home” pg. 546 I love this and how Harry uses his memories for this spell 
Harry got his staff!
“Our friend Mortimer is in trouble. And we don’t have much time…” pg. 550 I’m glad Harry considers Mortimer a friend 
“Marcone is in Italy or something. Childs in charge.” pg. 559 I do wish we got to see Marcone’s reaction to Harry’s ghost. Is Marcone in Italy for an Accord meeting? Is he getting updates on what’s happening with the rest of the alliance? As far as I know this is the second time Marcone has left Chicago. Once back in Death Mask in the train with Nicky and the shroud and now in Italy. 
“(I usually took Bob along. He sat on the dashboard. I always thought I’d been doing him a favor, although when I thought back, it made me think he’d been doing it for the sake of shared experience. For company.)” pg. 565 Aw :) 
“A relationship,” he replied “With me” pg. 58 Uh you wanna clarify that Evil Bob 
“Maybe you could clarify what you mean by a relationship. Because I’ve got to tell you, Bob, I’ve, uh…I’ve been hurt.” pg. 588 Ha 
“I spent my lifetime fighting the darkness without becoming the darkness. Maybe I had faltered at the very end. Maybe I had finally come up against something that made me cross the line-but even then, I hadn’t turned into a degenerate freakzoid of the Kemmler variety. One mistake at the end of my life couldn’t erase all the times I had stood unmoved at the edge of the abyss and made snide remarks at its expense. 
They could kill me, but they couldn’t have me.
I was my own.” pg. 590 Yes such a great quote and so cool. 
“But I am dead certain-ba-dump-bump-ching-that I’m the first guy to lead an army of spirits in an assault from the spirit-world side…and had them start off by screaming, “BOO!” pg. 599 Ha
“No one likes a wiseass, Harry” pg. 612 Ha and a call back to White Night 
“In fact, it was what one could only have expected from a member of the White Council.” pg. 624 I’m proud of how much Molly has grown but also worried about her 
“Be.” pg. 638 Yes! So cool! 
��As it turned out, I had a natural fortress of personality” pg. 654 Ha 
“Your brain is a very strange place,” I said I meant it as a compliment, and it showed in my voice.” pg. 669 Aw 
“They’ve been like that ever since they killed you.” pg. 677 What a line and no Molly you didn’t kill Harry. I don’t think Harry killed himself either.
“Sanya said, his dark, handsome face lighting up with a white grin.” pg. 679 Bi Harry moment 34! We’re back people 
“And it was all your fault, Harry” pg. 680 No it’s not your fault Harry. Also why is this in italics? Is this what the fallen did to cheat? 
“He did deserve the truth.” pg. 686 Yes he does. I’m worried about Thomas. We haven’t seen him all book. 
“The voice warmed very slightly “Harry. What’s up?” pg. 686 Hey it warmed slightly that’s something epically for Kincaid 
“He let out a soft chuckle. “Thanking me,” he said “That’s new.” pg. 687 Aw 
“Appropriate. I must confess to being more of a Star Wars fan than a Star Trek fan, personally.” pg. 690 Huh Uriel is a Star Wars fan 
“Uriel. I should have known from the outset.” pg. 692 I should have known it 
“Yeah, well. Blaming myself for bad stuff isn’t exactly, um…completely uncharacteristic for me, man.” pg. 697 Yep
“And then he hung up. On speakerphone. On a freaking archangel.” pg. 699 Ha 
“Mr. Sunshine…is perfectly acceptable. I suppose.” pg. 700 Ha 
“What Comes Next.”
“So I can stay Between” pg. 701 I see those capital letters 
“But it seems to me, you half-wit, that you probably shouldn’t have left a freaking ectomancer a pit full of wraiths to play with.” pg. 706 So cool go Mort! 
“Empty liquor bottles littered the side table next to it.” pg. 713 Oh no
“Not only was it messy, it was simply messy, instead of attractively messy, and for Thomas that was hideous. He had a couple of weeks’ growth of bread; not long enough to be an actual beard yet, but too long to be a sexy shadow.” pg. 713 Oh no poor Thomas :(
Mouse! 
“I wept openly as my dog all but bounced at me. He was obviously joyous and just as obviously trying to mute his delight-but his tail thumped loudly against everything in the room, and puppyish sounds of pleasure came from his throat as he slobbered on my face, giving me kisses.” pg. 721 Aw my heart :) 
“What has begun must finish, little brother.” pg. 721 What?! Little brother?
“You are a soul. You have a body.” pg. 727 Interesting and cool. 
“A whole lot of pain.” pg. 728 Harry’s alive! 
“Parasite? What?” pg. 733 Bonnie? Why would you call Bonnie a parasite? That’s rude Man and Demonreach better apologize 
“Lies. Mab cannot change who you are.” pg. 734 Yay! 
“And mediocrity, my queen, is a terrible fate.” pg. 736 A callback
“I will be the Winter Knight,” I told her. “I will be the most terrifying Knight the Sidhe Courts have ever known. I will send your enemies down in defeat and make your power grow.” I smiled again “But I do it my way. In my terms. When you give me the task, I’ll decide how it gets done-and you’ll stay out of the way and let me work. And that’s how it’s going to be.” pg. 737 So cool and such a good quote 
Final thoughts 
Such a good book. I liked the fights. We got a Bi Harry moment we’re up to 34! Hopefully we can keep the streak up. I loved all the introspection in this book. I loved how much this book shows Harry’s friendship with Bob. I love the cool ghost powers. I like how we got into Harry’s past. I’m glad Maggie is with the Carpenters. I love how this book shows the consequences of the last book with the power vacuum and monsters closing in. I do wonder if the Formor are moving in because of the vacuum or because Harry died or a bit of both. I’m glad I got to see Mort. I do hope Thomas gets better. I wish Marcone was in this book but I think that’s about every book. I do wish we could see his reaction to Harry’s ghost. I wonder if Harry’s friends will tell Marcone about Harry’s ghost? Still waiting for dad Harry moments. 
Harry’s death 
So Harry didn’t commit suicide. He was murdered. I really think “ Once you start thinking, Gee maybe that isn’t me thinking about suicide, it kind of falls apart” applies here. Now why would Kincaid agree to kill Harry? I know Harry owes him one but still. This is going to hurt Ivy; her sort of father figure (Kincaid) shot and killed her only friend (Harry). I don’t like that Harry roped Moly in his death and didn’t tell Thomas. Was this all a part of the fallen’s plans? As for who whispered those words. I think it’s either Lanciel or maybe Lucifer. I want to know why? Why now? I do wish we got to see what Harry’s death curse could be. I do wonder if Harry dying canceled the death curse of die alone?
Harry’s resurrection
I’ve asked this question before but I think it bears repeating: how long does someone need to be dead for it to be considered necromancy or resurrection? Is Harry a zombie now? Or is he like Kemmler? I assume due to Harry being a special case he’s not a zombie. Either way I hope that Harry’s death and resurrection have some impact on him. It has to leave some mark. 
Onto cold days!

ohhhh i just realized why i have no desire to sleep even though i in fact am getting tired🤪 my cousin was in psychosis for two weeks on coke off meds and two days ago he took a turn and directed all of his pain and anger at me n was talking shit about me saying vile things (mostly about being lesbian) till 4 am two days ago and till 6am last night. walking in the living room where i was juggling a knife and scraping it on our roomates doors, throwing n stabbing oranges around the house till he got 5250’d in the morning. i hope hes having an alright time in there he really needs help and hopefully rehab and hopefully he finally wants the change that he might not know he needs and actually does want. ya had to vent it out guys thx for reading my run on sentence, im actually tryna lead into a better, personal topic and this plays a part on it so i started there. i uh started recovery in AA 3 days ago and im so fucking happy to finally want to take my life back fully into my own hands and have the drive and ambition that i got easily with alcohol (fucking cop out). ik how this sounds to some people, i went to AA and NA for fun when i was in a grouphome at 17 bc it was another way for us to get off the campus and hangout with the other houses (they called them cottages🏡🕯️🎍☺️). so im very comfortable in that environment, it wasn’t an entirely new concept or energy to me, its been about ten years, but this is my first time coming with a severe desire to change and take back my life into my own hands. ya i had drank in highschool (fuckinn middle school too) but i dont think i ever had to drink and drink and drink till i passout and not be able to stop until im blacked out. that didnt happen till i was 23 in such a chaotic livlihood i couldnt stand any part of my reality, work, home, abusive relationship, i couldnt breathe but i could drink. to the point i was delivering weed from the dispensary drunk. it happened again over the summer for all of the same reasons but this time i had come back to my cousins house to get on my feet and ultimately ended up helping everyone else and their businesses and livlihood more than my own and i was drained out, favor not returned gang. i thought i was gonna stop drinking at the end of summer and i did a few times, a week, two a month but the binges were bad and i was in a lot of dangerous situations recently. everytime i thought i was ready, someone would give me a reason to catch a nice break from the chaos circus life, n who would say no to what sounds like bliss? the last time i drank i didnt even want to, i didnt even wanna go out shit, friend called me crying for help, by the end of the night i needed a relief drink joined got physically hurt (7 minor injuries but some are mid😭), stranded they took off w my phone and wallet in my bag, no sweater at 4am upset in a parking lot not tryna take three hour walk home. a ride from a nice lady w a sketchy guy judging me. how the fuck did it happen again, how easy couldve i prevented this. i had already reached out to a well versed friend that i need to get sober, she said she’d be around in a couple days n we would go. i told her again the next day i needed it even more now and we went that night, which she was wanting to bc she liked that specific meeting. well gang that specific meeting is always gonna be the story to the start of my meeting. i immediately got picked to lead and read through out the meeting on a little stage in front of everyone with the key speaker. as i expected haha, never heard of a lottery meeting like that. i made a home that night, i kept eveyones lottery ticket from the raffle that i picked (and the three left over), i hadnt felt so much support in years, and all at once and a whole room full of people.
i know im only three days in but ive been waiting my whole life to be here.

if you have an oc named lucille you HAVE to tell me eveyrthing about her by law so w e can be namebuddies. me and your oc.
OF COURSE!!!! AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY HER!!!!
i should say first and foremost she's not to be confused with lucy from down on palladium. lucille is only occasionally called lucy while lucy DOP is lucy as a chosen name (over 'eden' and what it's tied to); they've both got independent girlie vibes but are otherwise very different...
SO LUCILLE. we'll see where i can get to with my lack of explaining rustling the hickory trees (RtHT) on here. lucille is a less-than-incidental side character who's the younger sister of one of the main characters, harry, and the bestest friend of the other main character, bill. she's five years younger than harry and five years older than bill, so perfectly middle child of the group. but also she's very much. 'younger sibling who seems more like the older sibling' type of vibe? not that harry is irresponsible or doesn't have a good head on his shoulders or anything. he's just. very laidback and easy going, sometimes falls easily into good things and pursuing his ambitions, so for a while, before he got with bill, Lucille was somewhat picking up the slack of logistics and reason and everything.
such slack as. when harry was 22, he moved east to virginia (the siblings are from huntington, West virginia) to try out for the coast guard without. well not without thought but definitely not neurotically going through every detail or scenario like lucille and bill would. and when he couldn't get in (passed the physical exam but his dyslexia cucked the written exams), it was lucky that lucille graduated early at 17 and is very good with numbers so she was able to go move in with him to ease the cost of living while he tried to find work elsewhere since her being good with numbers helped with getting a bank job.
the bank job where!!! in ~ten years time she meets bill. i still don't know what exact positions they hold but it doesn't matter because what matters is. this 21/22 year old kid came in interviewing for a job, and despite her cautious nature, some gut feeling told her, when said kid mentioned to the hiring manager that he was soon going to be between housing, to offer up a space on her couch. a space that would make history, as soon it blossomed into a friendship with bed-sharing closeness. which then blossomed into a friendship where she treats him like a kid brother (which is a part of older little sister-ship she can better handle than any responsibilities she's accidentally been thrown into) and he accepts it freely since she DOES feel like a sister— and frankly he's closer to her than any of his actual sisters.
as far as her personal life separate of the guys, i'm still trying to fully flesh it out. i'm leaning towards her being a lesbian but i don't know... in part because i'm still on the fence about whether she's one of those single aunties who's loving living life to the fullest (that she can) (but won't say no to spending time with the niece that made her an auntie, the guys' daughter hannah) or if she eventually ends up with someone. also maybe has some religious trauma, or at least easily jokes about her & harry's christian (some flavor of protestant?) upbringing— definitely to bill, who has no idea what the fuck goes on in a church (<- he's from a semi-orthodox jewish family). also also i still need to figure out a face for her...........

So, some of you may or may not remember, but back during my early years, I used to have a human persona of myself who's name was Patrick, who I used to use to represent myself along with some other forms of him, and got into some cringe I rather not talk about. But, eventually stopped using him around 2017 or 18 with the persona being dormant for a long time afterwards.
Well, I've brought him back out of 'OC dormitory' and incorporating him not just as a persona, but also an alternate version of myself within my Sentient Machine Universe '29A' where he has such an interesting and fore filling life.
Born on 18th of January 1997 to parents Sarah and Jon Oakley and sister Zara Oakley with the families past being surrounded in mystery. Patrick was raised into a middle class life style with him taking up an interested in machines mainly trains and other types of vehicles at a young age and a major interest in Art that became his pursuit as a career path. He grew to become quite a talented artist and hobbyist animator, mainly selling digital drawings of his favourite machines and doing commissions for local sentient machines who asked him to do art for them.
At around the age of 17, Patrick while searching online met the love of his life who would eventually become his wife, a famous artist called Grace Rivera who was a very wealthy American daughter of a successful rich businessmen who lived in Los Angeles in America. With Patrick being amazed by her amazing talent to create wonderful and successful masterpieces that went for millions of dollars worth, and by her sweet and kind personality and beauty.
Over the next few years as they both went into their 20s, the two would grow a strong and deep relationship with each other, while keeping their relationship secret from their parents due to the two of them being from different classes. Until Patrick was at the age of 21 and Grace at the age of 20, they met face to face with each other for the first time when both their families where at an art exhibition, with Patrick and Grace finally revealing their secret to their families and with both wishing to marry. While their families her hesitant at first due to the class difference between them, they where able to sort things out with each other, and agreed to allow the two to marry, with Patrick's family seeing it as an opportunity to allow Patrick to use Grace's extreme wealth to further their sons career.
The two were son happily married to each other with Grace moving with her new husband to the UK into one of her families private residences in Tarmingham in the Ruleton Estate where they have lived together ever since, and Patrick receiving a little bit of fame of his own in his art career with Graces collaboration and help in both each others art thanks to her fame and influence.
However, some have noted that despite the two of them aging they don't seem to show signs of physical aging, this has lead some to believe that Patrick is an immortal being with him passing this immortality onto Grace when he kissed her at their wedding. Some believe that Patrick himself is a 'Whisper Shifter' a mythical species who are said to be time travellers from the far destine future, and they believe the Oakley family is entirely made up of them, but only Patrick and Grace know this as they found out themselves that Patrick and his family were indeed the species they described, but they keep it a secret to themselves, and deny it when around in public to keep it safe.

Fears
Crystal monsters
While Gramorr held power over the realm, crystal monsters were everywhere enforcing his will. These monsters regularly caused destruction in Ellie’s village and were a terrifying threat while she was growing up. She recently lost her younger brother to an attack from one of these crystal monsters and it’s made her hatred and fear of them that much stronger. 
Dead things
beyond being generally creepy, she’s scared her herd of opportunistic omnivore sheep will try to eat anything they find and get sick. Her flock is kind of her life and anything happening to them is scary af to her
3. Gramorr returning or a new threat taking his place
she lived almost her whole life in a realm occupied by Gramorr, she’s seen first hand how it got worse over time and the damage he and his forces caused. Her little village suffered great losses because of what was happening in the world around it, and she can only imagine what was happening in larger towns and cities of influence. She wants to believe what she's heard of Gramorr’s defeat, and that the royal families and resistance will be able to stop any remaining forces from taking power again, but after living her whole life with him in control it’s easier said than done. Especially with rumors going around that the princess of Ephedia has been sent off planet again.
Hobbies
Talking. She’s a constant chatterbox
Storytelling and hearing others stories.
Organizing community events
Riding her amaru, Amelie in her Pegasus form
Magic research
Back Story
Ellie is a common girl from Ephedia. She lives in the small village of Silvafinis and works as a shepherd. She’s a sweet, kind hearted young person who does her best to help people around her. Growing up in the realm of Ephedia she saw first hand the destruction and misery brought on by Gramorr during his reign of terror. Even being in a small village far from most things, they were never safe from the abuse of his forces, or the danger of the violent crystal monsters he created. The village was routinely threatened, and more than once irreparably damaged by this. When Gramorr first took over Ephedia the people of the realm attempted a coup to try to stop him, hoping to avoid what they knew would come should he stay in power. Ellie’s father and a number of other people from the town were a part of this. Unfortunately this revolution was a complete failure, most of the people involved in it died in the battle, Ellie’s father included.
After her fathers death she was left with just her grandmother and younger brother in her direct family, but being from such a small village most of the other people in town helped to care for her and felt just as much like family. Still she had to grow up fast, in doing so she kind of became a big sister figure to most of the town. Almost to combat the harshness of the world she lives in, Ellie does her best to be kind and helpful. She doesn’t see a point in making things harder than they already are for others. She comes down hard on younger kids in the village when they’re misbehaving or causing problems for that reason. She spent most of her life in this role, taking care of her family's sheep and younger brother. She more or less got used to the constant threat and destruction caused by Gramorr’s reign, as it was just how life always was.
But in recent months rumors began to spread that the princesses of Ephedia, who’d been sent off planet for her safety so long ago, had been found and was fighting for her kingdom and planet. that Princess Izira of Xeris had escaped one of Gramorr’s prisons and formed a resistance force to fight him, that hope was returning to Ephedia again. In direct conflict of that hope, it seemed like attacks from Gramorr’s crystal beasts were becoming more frequent than ever before. The village’s losses begane to pile up as homes, businesses, and farmlands were destroyed. Ellie’s younger brother died trying to protect the village during one of these attacks. This was a devastating loss for her, she blames herself for not being able to protect him, and has been in deep mourning ever since. She continues to keep up her cheery disposition around others though, not wanting her pain to bring down others.
When Gramorr was defeated, news spread fast across Ephedia, including to the little village of Silvafinis. Ellie, like most of Ephedia’s people, hopes this will mean an era of peace and recovery from all they’ve lost, but she can’t help but continue to worry that some new dark force may rise up to take Gramorr’s place.

I'm still thinking about how Wyll doesn't see himself as a victim of abuse, so, let's dig into why that is.
First of all - he had a choice. Of course, there was no way with the way he was raised that he would choose anything else, but he still accepted the deal, so, to him, everything that happened since is a consequence of that choice.
Second, he gained something from it; he got his powers that help him save and help so many people. Surely something he uses for so much good, can't be born out of something bad like abuse.
Third, Mizora... Mizora approached him as an ally first. Cazador was an evil man, from beginning to end. Mizora though? She's much more devious than that - she simply made him aware of a dire situation, and offered him the power he needs to solve the problem. (iirc, in EA she didn't even reveal her devil form until the deal was made)
And after he was cast out? When he was forced out of the city he spent his entire 17 years of life in, by his father whom he loves the most, Mizora was there. He knew it was because of her - but it wasn't her fault, because he had a choice in it - and sure, a devil's not a company he'd normally keep, but she was still there when he was trying to deal with a huge change in his life. Mizora was there for him, when his dad abandoned him.
Once again, in EA, it was confirmed that Wyll and Mizora were intimate at some point. Its not unreasonable to think that when everything was changing, he would cling to the only stable thing in his life: Mizora. He found comfort in his powers, and by extension, in her. Also considering that Wyll is a romantic at heart, had his first kiss at 15 and was exiled at 17, It is possible that Mizora was the first person he had sex with, been that vulnerable with, and he would struggle to see or label her as an abuser.
Next, the distance. Thanks to the tadpole, Astarion was able to run away from Cazador - to get so far away, where he couldn't reach him. He was able to live away from his influence, and it was easier for him to recognize the abuse for what it was. Which is not the case for Wyll. Throughout the game, he [i]has a sending stone for an eye that directly connects her mind to his[/i]. No matter where he goes, Mizora's influence follows him. - At some point she even joins your camp and stays right next to Wyll, and she will not leave. No matter how many times you attack her, she disappears for a few seconds, and then she's right back at his side. He has no escape.
and finally "Other people are suffering more" - his scars aren't as apparent or deep as Astarion's, nor did his abuse last as long, so, it can't be that bad, can it?
TW: CSA-related discussion below
Quite the change of topic, I know, but bear with me for a moment.
When they think of child abuse, most people think about some creep kidnapping a child off a playground and being heinous. When this happens, it is obvious to everyone that it is abuse and gross and yada yada yada. That is closer to what happened to Astarion. He was caught at a weak moment, taken advantage of, and once he broke free, he was free of his abuser's influence.
That is not how csa occurs most often though. Often times, the abuser is someone the victim already knows and trusts, usually a family member or a family friend - someone who has influence on the kid's life, someone who has power over the kid. Due to the abuser already being someone the kid trusts, the kid can convince themself that they're misremembering things, they're making it up, or exaggerating it; because surely someone they trust wouldn't do something like that. And even if the physical aspects of the abuse stops, the abuser will try to cement themself in the kid's life and wait for the next opportunity to repeat. Which is closer to what happens to Wyll.
Unfortunately, in these cases, it is harder to identify abuse as what it is. - Which is exactly why Wyll struggles with it.

✧. idol persona: known as much for his charisma publicly as personally, he is always the first to charm any variety host or interviewer alike. fluent in english, he acts as the group’s main communicator in english language programs which makes his charm shine even more. not to mention the swoon-worthy accent that netizens always fall head over heels for. he likes to take a comedic route which can be both performative or natural, the loud and excited mood-maker in challenges and games. not to mention his rap skills that he loves to show off in verses that go viral. he loves to flirt with fans specifically and 4luvs tend to call him “delulu” following instances in fan-calls or on lives when he pulls out his most brazen tactics.
。:°ஐ history tw ; mentions of divorce, abuse, and slut-shaming
kim kangdae was born in the suburbs of sydney, australia to a stay-at-home mom and a finance manager at a law firm, his younger sister following 6 years later. although the nuclear family seemed to have the idyllic life to neighbors, the stress of living bill to bill weighed on the couple, constantly arguing for as long as angel could remember, until when he was 10, they finally decided to officially end their marriage. his father cut all contact with his family save the child support checks that arrived every month in the mail. to make up for the loss of income, his mother began working at a hair salon owned by her sister-in-law to make ends meet.
the loss of her husband and her ideal life took a toll on michelle, and she constantly sought after someone to keep her bed warm, although the men she managed to find were often even more worthless than the one who left her. but at least they stuck around, even if it was just to leach off her welfare or cash her child support checks. there were plenty of those men that cycled throughout angel’s childhood, and he had to fight more than one of them to keep them off his mom or little sister. after growing up without any idea of romantic love, he has been led to believe that love is just a concept made up to trick people into thinking all the shit you go through is worth it. 
he always had a dream of finally making it out of his dreary town and making something big out of his life. he had never imagined that being an idol would bring that dream to fruition, but when he was scouted on the street at 17, he finally saw the light that could lead him there. rainbow entertainment had a struggling image at the time, it's only group one that no one had ever heard of. his mom thought the whole thing was a sham, and was reluctant to send her son all the way to seoul to follow some pipe dream, considering he had no real experience in any sort of performing. not to mention the shitty boyfriend of the hour telling him he was good-for-nothing anyway. but no one could say he wasn’t driven, and booking the cheapest flight he could for the very next week, he made it all the way to korea, passed the audition, and eventually into stardom. he still sends money home to his mom, despite never planning on returning to her house ever again.
angel is one of the most popular members of lucky, largely thanks to his charm and visuals. he’ll have viral moments every now and then from a sexy rap verse to a clip of his flirtations wrapped in that australian accent that would make anyone blush and giggle. he has been caught up in a multitude of dating rumors, both true and entirely unbased. antis think his ego is obnoxious and he has caught heat for perceived overconfidence. he also falls victim to the slut-shaming army of lucky haters, although not nearly as much as his female members.

She spent the whole pregnancy eagerly waiting the arrival of her baby and when he came, she fell in love instantly. She named him Gabriel, after her father. Unfortunately, when Gabriel was one and a half, tragedy struck and he passed away.
The loss of her only son and first child took a toll on Diana and she sunk into a depression. Dan did everything he could to try and pull her out of it, but nothing worked. Their daughter, Natalie, was born six months later. Gabriel would've been two. Diana tried to be there for Natalie as she grew, but it was hard. She kept thinking of Gabriel and how she wished he was there instead.
By the time Natalie was sixteen and Gabriel eighteen, Diana's depression had become a constant. She saw a psychiatrist every week and took the medicine he prescribed to her with minimal questioning. At Gabriel’s urging, however, she stopped taking it and attempted suicide. She wound up in the hospital and underwent electroshock therapy that caused her to lose the past nineteen years of her memory, including her memories of Gabriel. She recovered these memories and decided to leave Dan so that she could heal and recover on her own time. Gabriel stayed with Dan and Diana didn’t see him very much. Eventually, she stopped seeing him at all.

verses
if you try to deny me i’ll never die ; verse - canon. the events of next to normal. gabe exists as a figment of diana’s subconscious. she is the only one that is able to see him and interact with him. he interacts with others, but they are never able to see him nor hear him.
the darkest skies will somehow see the sun ; verse - post canon. diana is slowly recovering from her depression. as she recovers, so too does gabe. he becomes a figure of hope instead of pain and eventually, as diana continues to recover, will fade away entirely.
he died before i was born ; verse - ghost verse! basically the same as gabe’s canon verse, except he’s a ghost and not a figment of diana’s subconscious. he can interact with the living world to an extent and he’s able to be seen by other ghosts and supernatural creatures, as well as those who are more in tune with the supernatural world.
so my son’s a little shit ; verse - gabe lives. gabe does not die as a baby and goes on to grow up and have the life he should’ve had. he adores his mother and annoys natalie to no end. his relationship with dan is a little strained but they’re working on fixing it.
you just don’t know who i am ; verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the next to normal universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include next to normal ocs.

Introducing some of my Skyrim Ocs!
Name: Verona the Brute
Age:27
Race:Nord
Personality: Serious and rather stoic,no nonsense person. Usually focused on her quests,quiet.
Backstory: Verona was born in the small town of Rorikstead to a couple of Travelling Merchants. The first 10 years of her life involved moving from place to place constantly. Her mother taught her to read a write,while her father taught her tricks of the trade. When she was 11,her mother died in a bandit raid and her father was seriously injured,Verona herself was kidnapped by the bandits after being knocked out trying to defend her unconscious father. The Bandit leader,a man known as Joric the Cruel,forcibly made Verona his Apprentice of sorts. He found her Spiteful and stubborn attitude interesting. He lived up to his name,though there were moments where some softness showed through. The first year Verona lived with the bandits,beatings were often and swift,After each one Joric would tend to her wounds and speak softly,almost fatherly,to her. He would often call her his little Sabre Cat/Kitten for short. Verona was taught how to fight by the bandits and they tried to raise her to be one of them. Life with them was hard,and often Verona missed her family,but she learned quickly running away was not an option. 
When Verona turned 14,she had her period for the first time,one of the bandits,a woman named Svani, helped her clean up and explained what was happened. The woman also explained that now that Verona Had bled,that she would be considered a woman and that the men in the camp and in the rest of the world would try to make her their wife,mistress,or simply bed her,and that some men would not take no as an answer. Svani gave Verona a dagger and told her to use it to cut the throat of any man that tried to,but that if the man was stronger than her and disarmed her,to close her eyes and relax her body so as to avoid unneccassary pain or even death. By that Age Verona Had grown to have a shapely figure,and as Svani had warned,many of the men in the camp began to try and get her in their beds. Joric was one of those men.
When Verona was 15,Joric bedded her. She knew if she rejected his advances for too long,he would no doubt force himself on her anyway,so she gave into his advances. He was experienced in bedroom affairs and her first time was one where he used every trick he knew. He would take her again and again,sometimes he would take her multiple times a night. Physically it felt great,but mentally Verona hated every second. This would continue until she was 17,when she noticed she had missed multiple periods. She had been impregnated by a man she hated more than anything. When she told Joric, he was…...overjoyed to say the least. Boasting later that night how he had bred her good. He would then propose marriage to Verona,and she knew better than to turn him down. He kidnapped a preist of Mara and they were wed. He released the preist of Mara but luckily Verona was able to have the man smuggle a note to the guards in the nearby hold of Whiterun. Verona would give birth to a Little boy who would be named after his father 3 months later. She loved her son,she did,but she struggled to show it and to bond with him. She feared that the rest of her life would involve having baby after baby and having no choice but to watch them be raised into banditry. 
A month after her son was born,3 Companions,Villas,Farkas,and Aela would raid the bandit hideout and kill nearly all of the bandits,Joric being one of them much to the releif of Verona. Vilkas was the one to found her and her son,and that would be the one and only time he would see her cry. She was releived to finally be free of the bandits who had taken so much from her. 
She and her son,whose name she changed to Kond, were brought back to Whiterun where she was given a bath,hot meal,some clothes,and was tended to by the temple priestess. Hulda let her sleep at the Tavern for free until she could find a job or get in contact with any family.
It took a year but on her 18th Birthday she found her father and moved in with him. He had searched for her for many years and wept when he saw and learned of the life she was made to live after being kidnapped all those years ago. He doted on his grandson and spared no expense on making up for lost time. 
Five years later,Verona was now 23,her father would pass away. He left her 2 homes,one in the forests of Falkreath and One inside the walls of Whiterun. He Also left her plenty of gold,enough so that she would never have to work. She chose to move back to Whiterun and hired a nanny,3 guards,a cook,a Maid,and 2 tutors for her son as she decided to join the Companions. While she had lived w her father,she wasn't idle. She practiced and learned how to fight,how to wield a 2 handed battle axe with ease and move in heavy armor. She Had taken bounties and killed endless amounts of bandits and other creatures,and she was good at what she did. 
She was permitted to join and proved to be good at her job,she was merciless to bandits of any kind,often over doing it when it came to making them dead. 
When she turned 27,she was asked to get the dragonstone for the court wizard. She did and then helped fell the dragon that attacked the tower. There she found out she was Dragonborn,and was made Thane of Whiterun. She found Tally after she decided to take just a couple weeks to wander around after such news,and found Kaidan and Lucien after hearing about a guy kidnapped by thalmor and about a man looking to adventure. Now she's on her way to become the best dragonborn she can be.
