#it kinda comes across as some mean girls drama

[queers-gambit]

I can for some reason imagine that in the WPMP verse, Alicent being so paranoid about the reader’s loyalties, etc, would make the reader walk after giving birth in order to check the legitimacy of the child, just as she did to Rhaenyra and that would PUSH Aemond over the edge.

And Criston would be like: I have no eyes or ears 🫣, just pretend I don’t see this happening.

[ When Pride Married Prejudice // part two - for those interested ]

okay, so, i'm all for the drama so i'll take two stances on this 'cause i can see two different things:

one: it wouldn't happen simply because it's obvious (for years) that sweet girl and Aemond are absolutely obsessed with each other. so, i kinda tried to make the point that Alicent actually *likes* her daughter-by-law, so, i would imagine that the idea of checking the babes would make Alicent feel guilty enough she wouldn't do it. like, she's seen firsthand how in-love her son and his wife are (mutually) and the idea of thinking sweet girl was unfaithful is just unfathomable to Alicent. so, she'll stuff her nerves down and just wait - because let's be honest, Aemond is a Mama's Boy, and he'd go to get her first to meet his kid. so, she knows she'll see the babe (or babes) soon enough and wouldn't want to risk her son's rage. he's got a reputation and Alicent's seen how Aemond snaps when Aegon makes back-handed comments that lack cleverness. she's cautious and lets him come to get her - and feels silly when she sees the trademark white tuffs of hair.

two: let's say that Alicent does act on her suspicions and sends for sweet girl the moment she's given birth because she wants to see the babe. sweet girl is old enough to remember Alicent doing it to her mother, so, she's not truly shocked, but the midwives won't let Aemond in the room until the afterbirth is delivered. then, he's coming in, and very similarly, watching in confusion as she dresses and wonders where she's going. sweet girl is very casual about it, telling Aemond that his mother has sent for her and the babe, and oh, holy shit, he's enraged. maybe that's why she's so calm about it - she's anticipating this reaction. he demands she stay put but sweet girl lives for drama, so, she convinces him to help her and they go see Alicent with the baby. she's absolutely shocked to see Aemond, but he's surging up to her and getting right in her face, sneering that if she can't be decent and trust his wife, then there's no reason to remain in the Red Keep. Alicent is confused by this, asking what he means, and Aemond's assuring that if she doesn't get her shit together, he'd take his wife and baby and go across the Narrow Sea. somewhere she can't find them, where she'll never know what becomes of them all, and then, he turns and ushers you from the room. but he pauses sarcastically, turns you back, and only reveals the baby's head - that shows tuffs of pure white hair. Cole's def standing at the door, trying not to watch, but it's hard. the Prince is pissed off and it's hard not to pay attention to the commotion, especially when he's charged with the Queen's safety but even he wouldn't dare step between an angry Aemond and his target. he'll understand what happened between Alicent and Rhaenyra and why Aliecent chose to send for you - but the Prince's reaction makes him advert his attention to the floor and just wait. he doesn't think Aemond will actually attack and feels intrusive on a family moment, so, he'll just stare at the floor. in fact, he'll actually hold his breath at the end when Aemond shows his mother the babes' head; desperate not to laugh as your husband takes you away.

edit: i’m so fucking rude and forgot to thank you for sending this. I love reading your guys’ thoughts and ideas about this story 😭 all my love 🖤

X-Men 97 Thoughts

My personal opinions

Okay. So I grew up with X-men The Animated Series. It was one of my fave shows. It always came on late at night on Toon Disney (at times i shouldnt have been awake LMAO) so it has a special place in my heart. I was very surprised that of all things they decided to "continue" it. So, when I heard about it, I did a full rewatch (even that ungodly last season where quality took a nosedive OOF) Anywhoo! Started and finished 97. Those who know me best know at heart I am a big OG fan of my fandoms and am trepidacious of reboots/even continuation reboots, bc lets be honest most of them are all about stomping on the source material, SO I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Xmen 97.

You could really see how much they tried to capture the feel of the old show and the characters. The voice replacements were surprisingly well done. (i mean, Wolverine is a little off, but i'll give the guy a break its been like...28 yrs XD ) The animation looks amazing. Even if i'm taking some points off for the hair hfgjhdf haha

Now the storyline.... The elephant in the room. We all know the one. I have been a Romy fan since I was a kid and yes, when I was a young girl in Borders, I did come across the comic that showed the RoguexMagneto storyline. I hated it then and I hate it now. Its just...weird. (Again, my opinions. If you like it, power to you. Enjoy, but its not for me and this post isn't for you) but its even weirder in the show, and ill tell you why. As a Marvel comic reader, I'm well acquainted with the fact that everyone gets with everyone. That is just a trope of Marvel comics. All ships of imaginable and unimaginable proportions happen. BUT I think when doing this, they really should have thought it through a bit more in context of the show's universe alone . Bc I'll be real, if you're coming in from TAS, this kinda hits you out of nowhere. She had no form of connection with Magneto in the past show. Like....they had a makeshift funeral for him and she didn't even care. She was just worried about Gambit being stuck in space. So, their "secret" just seems so random and out of place. I do like that it was used for her to understand fully her feelings for Gambit, but man was it frustrating to see him just killed off when he was one of the best characters.(even if it was really well done and the animation, again, was amazing)

There's talk of him coming back as "Death" which is a storyline I'm not familiar with but I also heard talk of the original showrunner idealizing a timeline where Rogue and Magneto have kids....so... IDK It all just left me a bit frustrated and disheartened bc Romy was like one of my earliest ships before i knew ships were a thing. To see what happened to it made me sad, even if it could be part of a long game to get them to their HEA. (and thats always an if bc we don't know, even if the original guy isn't in charge anymore)

Other things that bugged me a little but not too much. Gonna bring up Morph. I love Morph. They were always a fave and they went through so much to finally be back on the team again. I really don't understand why they changed their character design tho? I read it was to make Morph look more like the character changeling from the comics but this is again something that doesnt make sense coming out of TAS bc Morph always had that other appearance throughout the entire show. I mean...it could have at least been explained... Also, as far as the feelings for Wolverine, i kinda found it funny XD bc in TAS, it always seemed like it was the other way around jkhfgjkdfh Wolverine was so attached to Morph and wouldn't let 'em go. That being said, I kinda wish they didn't go this route if its only meant to be unrequited and sad. AGAIN. I know. Marvel is all about unrequited drama jfhdkjfdh but hasn't Morph been through enough??? That being said, I love the ship even though I know its doomed. Wolverine is the worst person to be down bad for tho. Mans falls in love at the drop of a hat fhghdfjhsd

Other than these couple things, I really loved the show. Some people said "why are they shoving so much story into such a short amount of time" XD The storyteller in me would like to agree but i will be honest, there is nothing more like Xmen TAS than smooshed storylines jkdfhfkjds with random one-off eps in between. XD So, I was fine with it.

I liked the conclusion with Scott and Jean, as messy as it was. The family fun time was a pleasure to watch.

Xavier and Magneto. They really highlighted their messy, but still devoted relationship from the original series, so that was nice to see. I was glad to see him back in the red suit LMAO bc the one he was wearing all season was weird for me.

I loved Jubilee's journey, and it was cool that they brought Alyson Court back for that one episode.

I was very pleased overall that they didn't tone things down and since censors are different these days, they could show more stuff they couldn't in the 90s. So, I am looking forward to more seasons (and pleeeeease for the love of god give Romy back to me i am begging)

[george-weasleys-girl]

Do you know when everyone went to spend Christmas at the Grimmauld place? can you do a drabble where the daughter of Wolfstar tells the twins about the names on the Marauders map, as a christmas present?

(Maybe) she found out who they are because she saw Sirius calling Remus, Moony. like, they still haven't reconciled but Sirius accidentally says the nickname

❄️Yuletide Celebration❄️

Mystery Solved

"I know something you don't know," Y/N teased George and Fred as they sat down for dinner.

"Ooh, do tell!" Fred grinned.

She folded her arms. "Nope. Not until Christmas day. It's going to your present."

"Hey! That's not nice!" George argued. "Teasing us like that."

"Yeah," Fred added. "I'm gonna tell Sirius."

Y/N laughed. "Go right ahead. What are you going to do? Tell him his daughter won't give you your Christmas gift early? He'll just laugh at you."

~•~

Four days later

"It's Christmas Eve," George said.

Y/N smiled, knowing exactly where this was going. "Indeed it is."

"It's close enough to Christmas day," Fred continued. "You can give us our present now."

"I could," she agreed. "But I'm not."

"You're just mean," George accused.

"Yeah." Fred said. "We're not going to play with you anymore. Right George?"

"Right." He gave a single nod and looked back at Y/N.

"Ok, whatever," Y/N snorted. "I'm going downstairs to get some hot cocoa. Wanna join me?"

George shrugged. "Yeah, ok."

"Let’s go," Fred agreed.

~•~

Five hours later

"It's two minutes after midnight," Fred informed her.

George stepped forward. "That means it's officially Christmas day."

An amused grin spread across Y/N's face. "Alright, boys, come along. We need to go somewhere where we won't be overheard."

Fred rubbed his hands together. "This is gonna be good."

~•~

The three sat on Y/N's bed, facing each other. "Ok, here goes," she began and beckoned them closer. "I know who created the Marauders' Map. And actually... so do you."

"What do you mean?" George leaned forward.

"I overheard dad talking to Remus, and he called him Mooney."

"Moon - " Fred began. "Ohh... because Lupin's a werewolf."

"Yep."

"So your dad must be Padfoot," George marveled.

"And Prongs was James," she explained. And Wormtail is... Pettigrew." A look of disgust crossed her face at the mention of Peter's name.

"I can't believe your dad helped make the greatest map ever created," Fred was in awe. "The apple doesn't fall from the tree," he smiled. "No wonder you're so cool!"

"And our best friend," George threw his arm around her shoulders.

Y/N face burned bright vermillion and waved off the compliments. "You guys are too sweet."

"Sweet? How dare you?!" Fred exclaimed in mock offense. "Fred and George Weasley are not sweet!"

"Well, I'm kinda sweet," George said sheepishly.

"Shhh," Fred elbowed his brother. "We have our reputation to uphold!"

Y/N giggled at her best friends' silliness. "Hey you two," she interjected. "Why don't we uphold your reputation by sneaking down to the kitchen and swiping some cookies?"

"Now that's the type of behavior befitting the illustrious Weasley pranksters," Fred pronounced and jumped off the bed. "After you, my lady."

"Not sweet my ass," Y/N mumbled as she passed Fred.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Nothing," Y/N grinned. "Nothing at all."

[gemini-care-barr]

On the topic of Hal Jordan being maybe a bit better than anyone gives him credit for…

[I’m kidding ofc, we all know he’s a great guy, but bear with me for the sake of this post hahaha]

⚠️ Spoilers for Green Lantern #5 ⚠️

I get it, y’all, I really do. Hal can be pushy when it comes to love. And pretty undeserving of the love he pushes for because I mean how good is a guy that keeps professing his love to the same girl only to ditch her for long and unspecified stretches of time. Like of course, Carol keeps moving on, Hal, there’s absolutely no reason why she should wait around for some guy that loves her, but still leaves her! But hear me out…

Maybe Hal being pushy doesn’t actually change the fact that he’s a good guy. Maybe his pushiness is sincere. And maybe, just maybe, he’s a big enough person to set the whole “all is fair in love and war” thing aside to do what’s right and that’s what makes him so dang hard to resist.

So, this all stems from the latest issue of Green Lantern by Jeremy Adams and Xermánico which features Hal setting out to put a stop to Sinestro’s reign of terror across the earth. Hal’s first stop is Ferris Air as Sinestro has taken over all their unmanned drones to enact his plan. Carol catches Hal up on the situation and as he’s leaving to do his superheroics Carol hands him some nifty new communicators designed by her new fiance, Nate, y’know, the guy that Hal has been at one-sided odds with since the first issue of this new run. Hal, predictably, makes a snide little Hal-comment about Nate being smart and Carol, predictably, gives him no rope when she shortly replies that he’s “very” smart. I’ll always love these terse little exchanges between them.

Hal later runs into the problem of the last two drones being too far away from each other, and too close to their intended targets, for him to reach them in time. This leads to him coming up with the idea of putting his piloting skills, and indomitable will, to the test by simultaneously sending two constructs in opposite directions to catch the last two drones. Carol puts Nate on the line, and this is where my admiration for Hal, and Adams as a writer, grows considerably, as rather than getting another typical Hal remark we get a man on a mission.

Hal doesn’t care who’s guiding him in, he doesn’t care that he’s lost the love of his life (for no reason other than his own hubris) and that the one who has earned her love is now talking to him one-on-one. Rather than taking the easy drama route of giving Hal yet another opportunity to undercut his latest rival, Adams instead opts for the much more in-character route of having Hal just be the hero that he is. Hal’s only care is that there are people in trouble and Nate is the only person who can help him. And man, do they make a great team.

And this is a fact that neither gets nor needs any particular highlighting from the story itself. No remarks about Nate being the one to guide Hal in are made. Nothing is said about how well Hal followed directions from his rival-in-love. And that’s kinda my favorite part of all of this, the conclusion that I’ve come to, that Hal is not in the least bit petty and is a wholly honorable person, is not a conclusion that the story busies itself with proving. It just is. Hal just is a hero. He just is a good guy. He just does the right thing because that’s the right thing to do and, man, does that make it hard to say no to him.

Miss Ivy

Pairings: Oscar Diaz x black!teacher!OC, Cesar Diaz x black!teacher!OC(obvs platonic)

Genre: Fluff (?)

Word count: 1.3k

no warnings

(he actually had no business being so fucking fine its ridiculous actually.)

The pipeline from needing to be in a relationship to being completely fine in accepting the role of the fun, single aunt is an interesting one. Well, at least Ivy thought so. When she was a teenager all she thought about was boys, she wanted to have that, yeah we're high school sweethearts, storyline so badly but unfortunately, she never got it. If anyone ever asked her out it would be a joke for their own entertainment or it was from someone she just flat out wasn't interested in.

It felt like all her friends got attention from boys and she was left in the back to rot. Then came college, she was getting the attention she wanted in high school but now for some reason, she didn't want it— call it growing up I guess. She'd roll her eyes or make up an excuse as to why she couldn't talk to someone and it made her friends look at her sideways especially when some of the finest men on campus were trying to pull her.

Now with college out of the way and a little more growing up she was entirely too busy for the bullshit anyway. Some of her friends had married off and reproduced, but she was solely focused on her career and she was fine with that. Being an eighth-grade teacher was fulfilling, especially with a class like hers. Her students were absolute clowns, there was middle school drama that they came to her with and family problems that they felt they couldn't express at home. She was their safe haven and she was happy to be.

They filled that void in her life, and she was glad to be that person to help them transition from middle school to the chaotic jungle that was high school.

She did have one favourite student, in particular, his name was Cesar Diaz, an absolute sweetheart with a hilarious group behind him. Cesar was often the last to leave school so he'd come back to her classroom to either finish homework or just hang out. Occasionally she'd put on a movie of his choice or she'd show him movies from her childhood until his father came to get him.

However, lately, he'd been staying a little longer than usual, the school closed at six and he was still there at quarter to seven. I mean Ivy didn't have anyone to go to so she wasn't in a rush but it was Friday and she did want to go home and smoke, drink and watch something unrelated to children.

Cesar sighed, you could tell he was tired himself and maybe even disappointed that he was still at school. Ivy's shoulders fell as she looked out the window, no sign of Ray coming anytime soon. "You hungry? We can order a pizza." She offered. Cesar shook his head and continued to scroll on his phone. The sudden sound of a car door slamming could be heard outside, so hard you'd think the car window would bust. She watched as a younger male with a permanent scowl on his face approached the school doors but they were locked, so she knocked on the window and shook her head hoping he'd get the message. 

"Is Cesar in there?" She heard him ask, she nodded and looked over to her student. "Cesar, do you know who's outside my window?" 

He looked up from his phone and quickly sat up, "It's my brother, Spooky." 

Spooky? What the fuck kinda name was that? 

"Alright, let's go." 

Ivy gathered her things and slugged her arm over his shoulder as they walked down the hall, she caught Mr. Taylor who was the school's janitor sweeping the floor and asked him to unlock the door so they could leave. "Any plans this weekend?" She asked Cesar. "Yeah, uh, me and Monse are going on a date." 

She raised her eyebrows. Monse was a girl in the class across from hers, Cesar had been talking about asking her out for weeks but was too scared to do it until she encouraged him to. Telling him that she was most likely interested in him as well, at least judging by the way she would look at him. "See," She playfully nudged. "I told you she'd say yes. Make sure you get flowers, never show up empty-handed." 

Cesar let off a sheepish smile and shoved his hands in his pockets, he was excited but also nervous. They made it outside to see the same man leaning on a red car, a cherry red 1967 Chevy Impala to be more precise. It was nice and clean, you could tell the owner took pride in it-- she could damn near see her own reflection if she got close enough. He stood with his hands crossed over his chest, she couldn't tell if he was genuinely pissed or if that was just how his face rested but it was intimidating. It seemed to soften once he saw Cesar. 

"I'll see you Monday, miss Ivy." He smiled looking up at her. "Have a good weekend kiddo and good luck on your date." 

He nodded at her and headed over to the car, he received a hug from his older sibling and then slid into the passenger's seat. "Thanks for uh, watching him." He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wad of cash, the gesture making her face scrunch as he counted enough and handed it to her. She pushed his hand back. "Look, I'm not a babysitter, you don't owe me anything. I don't mind staying with him." 

That voice. He could've become a puddle at that soft voice, that caring tone when she said that she didn't mind. He put the money back in his pocket suddenly feeling foolish for even offering it but in his world people didn't do shit for you without looking for an IOU. A question wavered over her mind, "Where's Ray?" 

Spooky dropped his head looking for an excuse on the ground. "He's um, he's working late and I just got off work so." 

There was a moment of silence, the two just gazing at each other. He was handsome, with cute rose-pink lips that sat in the middle of a moustache and his goatee, a small dimple in his cheek that appeared when he flashed her a small smirk-- a clean-shaven head that would've repulsed her a bit if he didn't pull it off so well. He was quite the looker. Which wasn't surprising considering their father was fine as hell too. 

Spooky liked what he was seeing, her beautiful dark brown skin, her wide nose that was accompanied by two nose piercings, his eyes fell to her plump lips that were two shades-- the top lip that was slightly bigger than the bottom was more of a medium brown while the bottom was the same shade but had a pink middle. They were glossy, and little specks of sparkles could be seen even under the street lights. 

Ivy cleared her throat figuring she was lurking a bit too long and stuck out her hand. "Well, it was nice to meet you... Spooky." The smirk was very apparent in her voice even though she tried to hide it on her face. He gently took her hand and shook it, her nails gently scratching his palm as they parted. "Nice to meet you too, Miss Ivy." 

She felt herself becoming warm and decided to head over to her car which was conveniently two parking spots away from his. He watched as her hips swayed, whether it was natural or maybe a little twist in it for him, either way, he was fascinated. Ivy looked over her shoulder and smiled once more. "Have a good weekend." She waved.

"Yeah, you too."

Well hello hello out there. It is finally fucking Saturdaaay and I am so happy to finally upload. Though ill be real this wasn't what I originally wanted to post, I like how this turned out.

Back to the Old House

Synopsis: The reader, daughter of a Dornish politician has found herself joining her friends-with-benefit’s summer vacation. As his fake girlfriend. Was it mentioned that the fwb is a Prince and that ‘vacation’ is a week long nightmare with the royal family at their ancient creepy castle?

Rating: Explicit, each chapter tagged

Tags: Modern!AU, PINING, friends w benefits to lovers, Finger blasted on a private jet, family drama, Dornish!Reader, Switch!Aegon, Angst, Emotional range of a starfish Aegon and reader, hurt/comfort, smutty subby prostate play boom

A/N: So this happened I’m excited but I must draft some kinda story but make it E R O T I C. Basically these two idiots ACTUALLY get together in royal hell while destroying Aegon’s ass in multiple ways plus hurt/comfort and pining galore :)

Introduction: Mile high club? Mile cry club.

Aegon popped his gum, sprawled out in a chair on the jet. You stiffly sat from across and chewed your lip. The prince idly scrolled through his phone but you could tell your ‘friend’ was anxious. He couldn’t stop tapping, popping, jimmying— nervous energy.

You deadpanned, “Aegon.”

Violet eyes lifted to meet yours, him yanking out an airpod with a pout. You hated how dick-ish he got when he was anxious. Aegon was always being a dick but much more so in this mood.

“So I know you’re about to shit a brick but we need to come up with a backstory on how we started to…’date.’”

He blew out an exaggerated breath and snorted, “I think it’s pretty simple— We met at a fraternity social and started to date.” You stared blankly and he amended, “I asked you out first, of course my Dornish lady.”

You were nervous about your heritage. Your father was a former governor of Dorne and lambasted the figurehead monarchy. Most people with Rhoynish blood did, it had been like that since the Targaryens first took over Westeros in ancient times. Dorne had seceded and rejoined the country countless amounts. To your chagrin, most of the Targaryen men had nice girls of Valyrian or Andal descent. Never the licentious sandy Dornish with their lilting accents and stony eyes.

Snapping out of your own worries, You nodded in affirmation at his apology. Aegon moved to sneak his airpod back in before you joked, “Definitely need to leave the part out where I made you cum so hard you cried in the corner of the brother room, hm?”

Aegon’s pupils expanded and his plush lips opened slightly, a pink tongue darting out to wet them. You drawled, “Wanna’ repeat? Get some of that nervous energy out— you get so tetchy.”

The prince’s cheeks flushed and he spluttered, “Tetchy? The fuck does that mean? I have to see my crazy ass family I’m about to lose my shit!” Your lips quirked up at his outburst, crooking a finger towards yourself.

After some minutes of frantic clothes tearing on Aegon’s part and sloppy kisses, you had the prince spread out on the floor of the private jet. You knelt between pale thighs and hollered, “How much left on the ride?” Aegon pouted, tightening his legs around you.

The pilot’s voice crackled over the intercom, “One hour until landing at Dragonstone.”

You shrugged and tore a packet of lube between your teeth and smothered your fingers and Aegon’s pucker with the cold substance. He hissed and whined at the temperature. You smacked his thigh and hissed, “Hush. You’re always so fucking loud.” Aegon jerked his head to the side petulantly, biting on his cheek.

He knew you loved when he was noisy— just being a bitch got him harder than diamonds. Your pointer finger swirled around, easing him up. Aegon whispered, “C’mon, I can take it, fuck!” You pinched a pale thigh and jabbed, “Your whole body is taught as a bow, just lemme open you up slow. You’ll thank me for it later.”

A roll of violet eyes was your answer. You let it slide, from what you heard about Aegon’s family you were on edge too. Slowly you entered your pointer into the second knuckle, cooing at his cock throbbing in reaction. Aegon’s adorably red face begged, “Please- one more.” You obliged and slid your middle finger snug beside it.

You scissored and took your time. You growled, “So tight for me, such a slutty little hole.” Aegon’s voice pitched up into a mewl and his throat bobbed. You fumbled for another packet of lube, really slathering it on his hole to balls. The prince babbled, “H-hey, need it, need it, need it!” You used your free hand to rub at a trembling thigh. He never called you baby or any sappy pet names that suggested love— a rule between you two.

You promised, “Oh…you’re going to get it little dragon.” You twisted your fingers around, searching for that swollen nub. Poor Aegon had been so stressed lately with the impending summer vacation and the loss of your presence to visit Hellholt— there had not been a chance to milk him out. You knew he fucked plenty of other girls but your pride held to the notion that they didn’t get to see the Prince like this.

You found it with a gleeful laugh and a broken moan from Aegon. You lamented, “Poor thing. You’re so full.” The blonde’s unkempt locks shook with his head as he whined, “So fucking full- shit!” His pretty white teeth bit into his bottom lip as you began to stimulate the gland. Deep strokes and your thumb massaging from the outside had the Prince already frantic. His thighs had your waist in a dead lock.

It never ceased to amaze you how sensitive he was— you have no clue how Aegon is labeled ‘the frosh slayer’ by his frat brothers. He cried like a bitch the first time you had him…and about every other time after that. Aegon was a big touch-starved baby at the end of the day.

You cooed, “S’that feel good?” You grinned at the slew of non-understandable words in return. His violet eyes were glassy and he drooled as you milked his prostate. A puddle of cum leaked onto his pale belly. A thought abruptly shifted your plans. You swiped two fingers of your free hand through the fluid and pushed it between Aegon’s gaping lips.

Just as expected he wailed and more cum plastered his belly. You murmured, “Knew you’d like that slut. Suck on em’.” The blonde did eagerly, thrusting his hips back onto your fingers. Drool dribbled down his cheek and his cheeks were hollowed. You pressed a couple of soft kisses to his chest and nipples, heart fluttering annoyingly.

You slid your ring finger in and really started to pump your fingers into Aegon’s ass— wet noises filling the empty jet. You purred into his ear, “Hear that? So wet for me Prince.” Pretty tears leaked out of the blonde’s purple eyes onto reddened cheeks. He moaned around your fingers, “Gahds! Mhm!” You knew he was close, jerking your fingers out of his swollen mouth and jacking him off.

Aegon’s sweaty head fell back and he cried your name sweetly. He whimpered, “Ah- gods- cumming! So close? Can I can I?”

You whispered with a smile, “Yeah, c’mon.”

He kept his amethyst eyes locked onto yours as he seized up around your fingers and painted cum up to his chest. Aegon lunged forward and tightened his arms around your body. Your friends-with-benefits kissed you achingly. He sobbed with the release— you shushing him and putting the pieces back together. Like you always did.

Aegon’s breath came in shuddery huffs while you snatched a cocktail napkin to wipe him clean. His eyes warmly watched you work as he calmed. Long ringed fingers twisted a strand of your hair. You sat back on your haunches, a hand possessively on the outside of his lean thigh. Aegon laughed airily and breathed, “Needed that, I think I need a nap.”

You rolled your eyes and helped the cum-drunk brat up. You slapped his ass and teased, “Go take your nap, m’lord.” Aegon playfully pinched your side and shambled over to the pull out. He placed the headphones in again, still naked as a jaybird and dragged on an eye mask. You cleaned up the remnants of the debauchery and tried to spray your perfume to cover up the stench of sex. Then aggressively washed your hands.

Sitting back in your original spot, you watched out the window. Dark clouds swirled about. Aegon had told you Dragonstone was a dreary, stormy place. Your nails dug into your palm, drawing blood. You were not ready for this at all. Recently every time you fucked around with the Prince your chest felt all soft and weak. You didn’t even really fuck other guys anymore, just didn’t care for it.

But Aegon was— has been adamant about no-strings-attached. He’d even given you a list of rules, the prick. But he dug his way into your twisted heart, like a damn firewyrm of Old Valyria. You played the free-spirited ‘I am an Uller of Hellholt, fuck you’ persona. At the beginning it was easy, so, so easy.

Turning to gaze at Aegon’s pouty lips you frowned. You grumbled, “R’hllor bless me. Or send me to a fiery doom.” Wiping a stray tear away with a huff, you turned back. You’d do your makeup in the meantime and wake the idiot up to get dressed in thirty minutes. Fool didn’t even know how to style his own hair, he was used to stylists and servants.

You needed a Xanax. Aegon probably had some stashed around. You called on the fire god again for good measure. Fuck.

Chapter 1

[kotlc-deleted-scenes]

Keeper Summer Week #12

Deleted Scene from Flashback 

I cut this scene because the Healing Center sequence was such a huge chunk of the book that I needed to limit it to the most essential moments. I had to cut anything where Sophie wasn't learning something significant or making progress on her recovery. And since this was neither of those, it had to go.

—Shannon

“Okay—enough chitchat,” Ro said, marching over to Elwin's office. "I was promised ooze!" 

"Yeah, let the Great Fitzphie Ooze Fest begin!" Keefe commanded, pumping his fist. 

"It's going to be a few more minutes," Elwin warned them. "I'm still finishing up one of the poultices." 

"Is there gross stuff in it?" Ro asked hopefully. 

"Some of the worst I've ever seen," Elwin agreed. 

Keefe smirked at Fitz and Sophie. "Excellent." 

"But hurry it up!" Ro added as she paced around the room. 

The third time she passed Sophie's cot, she paused to ask, "Are you aware of your hair situation?" 

"Situation?" Sophie repeated. 

"Disaster zone' might be more appropriate," Ro warned as she pulled a compact from the back of her breastplate and held the mirror up to show Sophie. 

Sophie blinked. "Oh wow." 

She wasn't sure how hair could stick out in so many different directions and also be plastered to her head. And the more she tried to pull it into a ponytail, the more it rebelled. 

"Okay, now it's getting pathetic," Ro said, smacking Sophie's hand away and taking over. "You can all thank me later." 

"Uh, what is happening right now?" Keefe asked. 

"I'm helping your girl look less like a newborn yeti." She used her claws like a comb, trailing them gently across Sophie's skull. "Worried I'm going to shred the skin off your scalp?" she asked when Sophie flinched. "I could, you know." 

"I'm sure you could," Sophie agreed. 

Just like she was sure that Ro could crush her head like a grape. "It's weird, isn't it?" Ro asked, separating Sophie's hair into sections. 

"This truce between our species? I mean, if someone had told me last year that I'd get this close to an elf and not want to rip out their throat—especially one of the little brats who attacked our capital city- I'd have broken every bone in their body. But here I am: styling elf-y hair in Sparkle Town. And the weirdest thing is—I don't totally hate it. I mean, I could do without all the glitter—and the perfumy smell. But the drama and obliviousness make it pretty entertaining." 

"Obliviousness?" Sophie asked. 

"The fact that you need me to spell it out for you kinda proves my point. But don't worry: Someday you'll figure it out—and then things will get very interesting. In the meantime—behold!"

She held up the mirror again, revealing the two messy buns she'd twisted Sophie's hair into—which was a little Princess Leia meets Minnie Mouse, if Sophie was honest. 

Ro sighed. "Clearly you need to start seeing yourself the way others do. Check out the staring boys if you don't believe me." 

She pointed to Fitz and Keefe, who were indeed staring. 

"What?" Sophie asked, heat creeping up her neck. 

Fitz blinked. "You look… different in a good way." 

"Dude, is that the best you can do?" Keefe asked. 

"I don't see you doing any better," Fitz argued. 

"Oh, I could. But I'm trying not to make you look bad. And can we be done with the makeovers? I came here for ooze! Come on, Elwin—you're killing me!" 

"One more minute," Elwin called back. "Still finishing up the new poultice."

Writing Log

August 3, 2023

WIP: Project Rosary

Phase: Active Writing

Percentage: ~ 50%

Hello and welcome back to a new writing log.

I am slowly coming near the halfway mark in my Project Rosary Part 1. Even though life is stressful right now (exam season started in Germany two weeks ago), I am fairly consistent in writing every morning before studying.

Creating stories in these times is crucial for me. I immediately feel stressed, when I cannot write (especially if people tell me to not write during the exam phase!). It is like my little escape from everyday work.

But to be honest with you, I am currently a bit unmotivated. Not only because stuff currently happens within my family, but also because everything seems to be quite exhausting. So, what’s been new these days, is that I am trying to get anything down. A new Tumblr post, stuff for my project, new stuff… All of that.

Some of you have already seen that I came up with a new kinda fantasy story, that has no particular meaning, whatsoever.

It doesn’t have a name, beside the codename for Tumblr, so I can tag it: Project Unnamed. It is probably the shittiest story I have ever written. Not only because it is mainly pure Romantasy, which I normally don’t write, but also the fact, that I am writing some elven romance thing while complaining about how many elven or fae romance is out there? It’s kinda ironic.

To give you a little insight in the quick story (including some fancy banners I made for this):

It is about a somehow royal girl (I haven’t decided on that just yet), who lives in a world where magic is banned and seen as a wicked thing. One day, she gets in danger in the nearby woods, where a mysterious man saves her. Fascinated by his ethereal presence, she decides to find him again (which obviously works), where she finds out that he is able to control magic. He seems to come and go like a spirit and so she calls him the white spirit, also because he doesn’t tell her anything about him, besides the facts, that are obvious to her. She gets him to teach her about magic and soon enough, she finds out, that she can use the forbidden force too. They kinda have a secret relationship going on (with probably many red flags - I don’t know if he is a good or a bad guy). The drama comes from the secret relationship and when people find out about the elf in the forest.

I already know that this is going to be bad. I have no intention on publishing it. Maybe one day on Wattpad or as snippets here on Tumblr, but this is probably the most cliché Romantasy story you can come across. Even though I kinda like the characters…

But this is never going to any publisher in this world. It’s to bad for that.

If you are lucky enough to grasp an update on this story in form of a writing log, you are probably blessed. Project Unnamed is not even considered an active WIP.

But back to the original project, of which I am very proud of.

Project Rosary is still right before the half-time of the book, but I only have to finish the current scene and I am done. I like the pace in which things are falling together. Also, because I have the time to come up with solutions to plot holes in the storyline.

Now, as I am slowly coming to the end of one book of the series, I ask myself more, if I should wait until all seven books are done and then publish the first one. If people read the current book first, they will be (a little bit) spoilered for the rest. But if I publish the rest first, they get spoilered for the current book. It’s a bit of a challenge here, since everything connects to each other.

Luckily, I have until the final draft is done, to decide wether or not I publish now or later.

And that sums up, what’s new.

I hope, you enjoyed reading this writing log and if so, please consider to share it and subscribe to my Tag List, so that you get notified when I post.

See you soon and bye bye 💕

Watched the sixth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVED IT!

So... LEGO released some drawing tutorials with Mateo and I just... they're so pure I wanna hug him 😭😭😭 They're super adorable, I love especially Z-Blob's since he spends the entire time talking about how great his slime buddy is and MOOD MAT MOOD 💚💚💚

We're beyond halfway, I'm kinda sad but I'll wait until the end, maybe we got luck for a season 2?

Here we go!

THE ANOMALY

NOTHING BETTER HAPPEN TO Z-BLOB DO NOT HARM THE BLOB 😡

Pff, what was the chicken story? 🤣

Zoey is still a bit distant, I can't tell if she wants to join in or she likes these people enough to just hang around. I mean, she wasn't there last episode...

Did Logan drop the "Mattie" nick? It felt very derogatory so him switching to Teo feels like a step forward

IS THIS A COOPER EPISODE?? OH YES PLEASE GIVE ME THE DEPTH! ❤️

I knew it, he is stressed! Poor boy got stuff to do and can't even have breakfast, Coop please take care of yourself and have some proteins first thing in the morning 😢

You'll have all the time you want to have breakdowns once you reach high school

It seems like Cooper is the reliable one, Mateo and Logan are constantly over him asking for stuff. I wonder if they also affected his stress as well...

Okay Logan is still mean 😅 He's better, but still mean, and he changed teams permanently? I don't know if this is a "we're not an actual team, only in the Dream World" or a "we'll always be a dream, even if we're not in the real world"... mm

Finally we see the Night Bureau! We saw it only once before... while Teo was almost turning into a night terror... ah such good untraumatic memories 🙂

Ah, so Z is an anomaly? Come to think of it, did he come across because of Lunia's hourglass? Was there another reason?

These objects are histerical 😂😂

CHICKEN MATEO NOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay, I'm liking this consistent trend of having Zoey being the most useful character despite being on her own, she just waltzed in solving that riddle lol

Agent... Strick? Oh-oh

DO NOT EVEN TRY TO TAKE AWAY MY SLIME BABY Z-BLOB 😡😡😡

Oooohhhh, so this is confirmed to be Brooklyn? Cool, I didn't know it was an actual place! Again I'm too used to imaginary places like Ninjago or Chima 😂

This gal is intense, dude you locked Oz in a room, isn't that a bit much? Should we call the policr?

Zoey is just there for the drama, girl are you with us or not? 😂😂

Did... did that detect thing turn red when it was on Mateo? Was it only because Z-Blob was behind? Huh... huh

SHE FLIPPING TURNED INTO A BABY/WOMAN WHAT IS HAPPENING

Z-Blob floating has to be the cutest thing even, like, look at that little guy go! To infinity and beyond 💚

NO WAIT NOT BEYOND THE WINDOW

I see how it's going 😅😅

I'm so sorry I understimated Cooper, look at him! He's just a kid and he really wants to be up to expectations, and now we got a brother that sets the example? Dude I'm eating this, I'm a sucker for angst, LOOK AT THIS BOY HE NEEDS A BREAK 😭😭😭

Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS 💚💚💚

You did not make a hotdog out of slime

YOU DID NOT MAKE A Z-BLOB BALOON WHAT IS THIS SLIME DOING???

Is he afraid of being captured? I've never seen him going this awol before, he's always besides Mateo no matter what! Is he only scared or is there a reason?

Dude Cooper was so stressed he forgot breakfast!!! EAT BABY EAT!!!

Okay baby Strick is kinda hilarious... and Oz is on the ceiling... and there is still junk everywhere... and where is Albert? WHAT IS HAPPENING PEOPLE?!

Cooper you left for half a day, and now everything is on fire 😅

LOOK AT HIM IGNORING HIS BROTHER TO CHECK ON HIS FRIEND 🥹🥹🥹

I👏LOVE👏TEO👏AS👏A👏NICK👏

Cooper skyrocketed on my appreciation list in this episode, his backstory got so much potential for analysis! He's such a good friend, he's just very stressed out but he's super capable!!! ❤️

MATEO IDEA TIME 💚💚💚

Was that the superman line? 🤣

Aaaand, we're back! Are we fixing everything now that Coop is here?

Oh wow we actually are! I adore mechanics, I was all over them in Ninjago (Jay and Nya and Zane and Pixal and Ronin and Cyrus... there are so many in Ninjago 🥰), so this is so cool to see!

Agent Strick approves Cooper! YAS!

Oohh, so Zoey was maybe interested in joining, but never could before? Is this why she was a bit snarky in this episode, maybe she wanted to join but could never physically? That's kinda adorable 😂😂

PARTY TIME EVERYONE💃💃💃

COOPER GOT A SMALL HAIRCUT CHANGE I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤️

Alright this was another really REALLY good episode, but... now I'm stuck with the crazy theory that Mateo is the anomaly 🤣

I'm sure I'm wrong and I'm just blowing this out of proportion, but what if Strict examined that plant and found traces of Z AND Mateo? What if Lunia's hourglass was found by him for a reason?

She said that the anomaly appeared "the other night" so it was clearly Z Blob... but technically the other night was when the show started for me, so I might see this as Mateo appearing in this world for the first time. Could it be he fit in in one night, everyone's memories were changed to accept that, and no one questions this?

... I know this just me headcanoning left and right and it's clearly not gonna happen

... I'M STILL GONNA WRITE FICS ABOUT THIS OKAY 🤩🤩🤩 THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD I'M SO INSPIRED!!!!

LITG S5 — Volume II E03 Script

If there are any glaring mistakes please let me know*

!Spoilers Ahead!

*I know the Dana & Kat changing scene is wonky but it wasn't worth the effort to make it flow well for a scene that's only there to encourage you to spend gems on outfits.

Ex in the Rear View

Something stands in the way of a budding new romance.

——————————————————————————————

NARRATOR: Something is brewing. Is it coffee? Is it one of Finn’s craft IPAs? Nope, it’s drama with a capital D.

NARRATOR: Kat’s storming towards [MC]. This can only mean one thing!

NARRATOR: A handshake and a mutual appreciation of opposing opinions.

You and Alfie are on the bean bags as Kat storms across the garden towards you!

KAT: I need a chat with you, now!

You try to leave, to give Alfie and Kat their space.

KAT: With both of you!

You freeze.

ALFIE: You don't need to get [MC] involved.

KAT: From my view, she looked VERY involved with you, babe.

MC: Oh so you're spying on me now?

KAT: The whole villa just saw you two.

ALFIE: It wasn't a big deal. It was just some cheeky flirting.

KAT: Wise up, hun. She's after you.

MC: Excuse me?!

KAT: Cracking on with someone else's guy?

KAT: Whatever happened to girl-code?

CHOICE

①. I’ll flirt with who I want

②. Sorry, you're right

③. I can flash some claws of my own, Kat

①.

MC: If I want to flirt with Alfie, I will.

You seductively place your hand on Alfie’s arm

MC: Alfie doesn’t seem to mind.

MC: Do you, Alife?

KAT: You’re messing with his head.

MC: Chill, Kat. Maybe it’s just flirting.

②.

MC: You're right. I'm sorry.

MC: You and Alfie are in a couple, and I should have respected that.

MC: I get that what we did could have seemed over the line from your point of view.

③. 

MC: If you want to go there, Kat, I’ll go there.

MC: And you don't give a crap about girl-code.

MC: You're acting all aggy about me having a chat with Alfie.

MC: But everyone knows you'd bin him, as soon as, for a bit of Finn.

—

KAT: You're a sneak!

MC: Are you serious?

MC: In the couples quiz, you said we all need to get to know each other!

{If kissed Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean kissing him for everyone to see!

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean flirting with him for everyone to see!

{If hugged Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean hugging him for everyone to see!

Alfie slides between you and Kat.

ALFIE: It's calm, it's calm.

ALFIE: Kat, I owe you an explanation. Can we have a chat?

KAT: To be continued then.

ALFIE: Come on, Kat. Let's have a private chat. We'll sort this between us.

Kat reluctantly allows Alfie to escort her to the swing. You exhale. Dana hurries over to you.

DANA: Oh my days of the week! That chat was A LOT.

DANA: Do you think Kat will let it go now she's said her piece?

CHOICE

①. Yeah, it’ll be chill

②. I’m worried she won’t

③. No, but bring it on

①.

MC: I think it’ll blow over.

MC: She’s let it out. I bet she calms down now.

②.

MC: I doubt she’ll drop it, but I wish she would!

MC: Not everyone wants a lot of drama.

③.

MC: No way is she over this. But, bring it on, Kat!

MC: If she’s out to cause drama, I won’t back down.

—

DANA: She was the one out of line.

{If flirt who I want}

MC: Exactly! I’m entitled to flirt.

{If said sorry}

MC: Even so, I apologised. That’s all I can do.

{If flash claws}

MC: Exactly! And I don’t put up with that.

You see Kat glaring at you from across the garden.

——————————————————————————————

The afternoon sun is hot and heavy. You're on the day beds with Eddie and Finn.

EDDIE: That confrontation with you and Kat was intense!

FINN: Kat was breathing fire, so she was.

He flaps his arms and cries like a dragon. You laugh.

FINN: Day one and the drama is here!

EDDIE: [MC], how are you feeling after that?

CHOICE

①. Whatever. I'm not rattled

②. I feel bad. I hate drama

③. I'm feeling good. No regrets

①.

MC: I’m not bothered.

MC: Kat's all bark, no bite.

MC: She can say what she wants. I’m not gonna let it bother me.

②.

MC: Ugh. I feel kinda bad.

FINN: Why? Kat was the one kicking off.

MC: Yeah, but I hate drama.

MC: I hope this blows over fast.

③.

MC: I’m great! I know I did nothing wrong.

MC: It’s not against the rules to flirt in the villa.

MC: So what if Alfie and I were flirting in front of everyone?

MC: Would she rather we did it behind her back?

FINN: You're a little drama-magnet, aren't you?

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

—

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

Finn chuckles.

FINN: No way Kat's gonna let this go.

FINN: I can hear the fireworks already.

He cups his ear and pretends to listen.

EDDIE: Don't stoke the flames, bro.

FINN: Talking of stoking flames…

{If don't remember date E02}

FINN: [MC], you said in the quiz you didn't remember that hot air balloon Suresh took you on.

FINN: Loved seeing you winding him up.

MC: Are you stirring the pot, Finn?

Finn holds up his hands, innocently. But he's smiling.

MC: I see you smiling, Finn.

FINN: A bit of drama keeps life interesting.

{If love adventure dates E02}

FINN: I think you get it, [MC]. You said in the quiz, you're into adventurous dates.

MC: Dates, yeah. Don't know if that always applies to life in general.

EDDIE: There's a difference between adventure and drama.

EDDIE: Gotta keep it chill, keep it calm.

{If prefer chilled dates E02}

EDDIE: [MC], you said in the quiz that you like chilled dates.

EDDIE: Chill is my goal in dates and life.

FINN: Eddie, I can't picture you having a barney.

EDDIE: That's because you've never seen me after losing a rugby match.

They laugh.

MC: Boys and sport.

You roll your eyes.

FINN: Don't hate on sport.

FINN: Sport is one of the ways we let out our feelings.

He and Finn tackle each other in a bear hug.

You laugh. Finn pulls you into the bear hug and the three of you roll on the day bed, laughing loudly.

This draws the watchful eyes of Suresh. You notice him hanging about by the pool, pretending to not be looking in your direction.

FINN: Hey, [MC]!

Your attention is drawn back to Finn and Eddie. Finn stands on the day bed, flexing in ridiculous poses.

Eddie bench-presses pillows. He pretends to strain under their ‘weight'.

EDDIE: This doing it for you, [MC]?

You laugh, entertained by the boys' shenanigans.

FINN: Fancy a private chat with one of us manly specimens?

{If get to know the boys E02}

MC: Finn, we had a private chat on the terrace earlier.

FINN: But there’s so much more Finn to get to know.

{If turn the guys down E02}

FINN: You turned down my offer of a private chat earlier.

FINN: Don’t tell me you’re gonna pie me off again?

FINN: I promise Eddie won't cry when you pick me.

Eddie playfully jabs Finn in the ribs.

EDDIE: As if she'd pick a cocky bro like you.

You laugh but it’s interrupted by Kat calling across the garden from the kitchen.

KAT: Finn? Can you help me move this chair? I need your muscles.

Kat shoots you a mischievous look as Finn stands up.

FINN: I must go where I’m needed.

FINN: Lucky break for you, Eddie boy.

Finn grins and swaggers off to the kitchen to help Kat. You and Eddie are left on the day beds.

EDDIE: The mosquitos are out. I’ve got this great lemongrass oil that you rub on your skin to keep them away.

EDDIE: Shall we go upstairs and get it? I can help you rub it in.

CHOICE

①. Yes, please!

②. Nah, I’m good as is

①.

MC: I’d love that, thanks.

MC: You can do my back for me.

EDDIE: My pleasure.

EDDIE: Lead the way.

②.

MC: I’m happy chilling here and I already put some oil on… But we can chat here.

EDDIE: Wouldn’t you rather get to know each other somewhere we can talk a little more freely?

EDDIE: Away from ol' Hungry Eyes?

He points at Suresh over at the pool. Suresh is still pretending - badly - not to be watching you.

EDDIE: We haven’t had a proper chance to get to know each other yet.

EDDIE: You sure you don’t want to move someplace more private?

CHOICE

❶. You’re right. Let’s go!

❷. Nah, let’s go to the swing seat instead

❶.

MC: To upstairs!

EDDIE: After you.

He gestures for you to lead the way towards the villa.

❷.

MC: I don’t want to go all the way upstairs, but let's move to the swing seat.

MC: We’ll be able to talk more openly there, but it won’t look like we’re sneaking off to do anything too naughty.

MC: Maybe there’s been enough drama already.

—

Just then, you see Suresh approach Alfie and take him off for a private chat. You wonder what Suresh is up to.

{if chat with Eddie privately}—————————————————

You and Eddie recline next to each other on one of the beds.

MC: How are you finding villa life?

EDDIE: This might be my fave bit so far.

He slowly rubs lemongrass oil on the top of your back.

MC: Of the villa or of my back?

EDDIE: Both.

EDDIE: Thanks for having this chat with me.

MC: Of course. I want to get to know you better.

EDDIE: I’m an open book. Read me!

MC: OK, then. Tell me, in relationships, are you a player or a stayer?

EDDIE: Stayer, a million percent. I was with my last girlfriend for 3 years.

MC: And you never cheated?

EDDIE: I've never, ever cheated! That's not who I am.

MC: A good guy, huh?

EDDIE: I try to be. I love animals. I'm close with my family.

MC: So you're saying you're a catch?

EDDIE: Hopefully you think I’m boyfriend material?

CHOICE

①. You’re a dreamboat

②. Not in my opinion

③. I'm not sure yet

①.

MC: Sounds like you're a dream guy.

EDDIE: Are you saying I'm YOUR dream guy?

MC: Maybe. Although it’s still early days.

EDDIE: True, but you’re seeming pretty dreamy yourself so far.

②.

MC: Maybe I look for something else in a boyfriend?

Eddie pretends to have been stabbed in the heart.

EDDIE: No! You're ruining me.

MC: You'll get over it.

③.

MC: I can't tell yet.

MC: Like you say, this is only our first proper chat.

EDDIE: You'll just have to get to know me more then, won't you?

—

EDDIE: Whatever I am, at least I'm not like Suresh.

MC: Meaning?

EDDIE: He's a cheater. And he walks around the villa all cocky. Not my vibe.

CHOICE

①. Hey, don't slag off Suresh

②. You’re right about Suresh!

③. Let's change the topic

①.

MC: You don't know Suresh well enough to talk bad about him.

EDDIE: I know I don't trust a cheater.

MC: People are complicated.

EDDIE: Treating people right seems pretty simple to me.

②.

MC: You're so right. Suresh is way too cocky.

MC: He always was.

EDDIE: I can't picture you with someone like him.

③.

MC: Ugh, let's not talk about Suresh.

MC: I can't seem to get away from him in this villa.

EDDIE: Sorry! We defo don't have to talk about him.

MC: Thanks!

—

EDDIE: Let’s talk about something much more fun: me and you.

MC: You think there’s a potential ‘me and you’?

EDDIE: I have a feeling there could be.

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

EDDIE: Back at you. I can feel myself melting every time you look at me.

②.

MC: Thought you were cool?

EDDIE: Things heated up when you walked in.

—

Both of your eyes move to the bottle of lemongrass oil.

CHOICE

①. Offer to rub oil into his back

②. Hold back for now

①.

MC: Want me to return the favour?

EDDIE: If you’re happy to, I’m not complaining.

You spray the oil onto his toned back and gently rub it into his shoulders, feeling his muscles tense and relax as you do.

EDDIE: That feels amazing.

You work your way down his smooth back a little, rubbing in circular motions. You notice how the smell of the oil combines with his own fragrance.

He turns and smiles at you, attraction and affection in his eyes.

②.

You return Eddie’s smile but leave it at that, for now.

MC: You're just saying that as I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you might.

—

You can't help smiling. Another boy in this villa is after you.

MC: How are you feeling about Dana? I thought I picked up a vibe between you two.

EDDIE: Maybe I was just trying to make you jealous?

MC: That wouldn’t be very nice of you.

MC: I thought you were Mr Nice Guy?

EDDIE: I am! I was just joking.

EDDIE: Luckily, what I lack in jokes, I make up for in honesty.

He gives you a beaming smile with his perfect teeth and gorgeous, sparkling eyes.

{if chat with Eddie on swing}—————————————————

You and Eddie sit on the swing. The other Islanders are in view but out of earshot.

Eddie plucks a flower from a vine on the wall and sticks it behind your ear.

MC: You're loving this, aren't you?

EDDIE: Being here with you? Yes.

MC: I meant being in the villa. You look like you're in your element.

EDDIE: I'm loving villa life. Beautiful place, beautiful girls, not much competition to speak of.

MC: Oh really? So what’s your read on the other boys?

EDDIE: Finn? He's a hunk, but he knows it. Head’s too big.

EDDIE: Alfie's fun… as a mate. He's got bants for days.

EDDIE: And Suresh? He's got a cool spy vibe going. But that's also his problem: too slick, too slippery.

MC: Sounds like you've got everyone figured out.

EDDIE: What? You don't agree?

CHOICE

①. I agree, a million percent

②. You're talking out of your arse

③. A girl never reveals her secrets

④. I guess I agree with some of that

①.

MC: I totally agree.

MC: You might come across as cocky, but you're not wrong about the boys.

EDDIE: Ya see?

He winks.

②.

MC: I think you're way off about the boys.

MC: You're selling them short. There's more to each of them than you think.

EDDIE: Oh really? Interesting.

③.

MC: Wouldn't you like to know?

MC: I'm not letting you in on what I think about the other boys.

EDDIE: Go on. I won't tell them.

MC: My lips are sealed.

④.

MC: I think you’re spot on about some of those things. But off the mark on some stuff too.

EDDIE: Enlighten me, please.

MC: I think I’ll let you figure it out for yourself.

—

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

②.

MC: You're just saying that because I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you do.

—

EDDIE: You’re giving me a lot to think about, [MC].

MC: Like what?

EDDIE: Let’s just say it involves eggs and baskets. And where to put them.

Eddie gives you a playful wink and a chuckle. You can't help smiling. Another boy in the villa is competing for you.

——————————————————————————————

You enter the kitchen to grab a drink. And who's there? Suresh.

MC: Hi.

SURESH: Surprised to see you taking a break from riling me up.

MC: I've barely spoken to you tonight.

SURESH: Exactly. You've been flirting and chatting with all the boys in front of me.

MC: That's what people do in the villa.

SURESH: Except you're doing it to put me off.

SURESH: You're hoping I'll give up on you and move on to another girl.

MC: That's a big assumption.

SURESH: I know your games, babe.

CHOICE

①. I’m not playing games

②. My games are too good for you to spot

③. You don’t know who I am now

①.

MC: How dare you tell me I’m playing games?

MC: If anyone’s playing games, it’s you.

SURESH: That doesn’t sound like me.

②.

MC: Suresh, if I were playing games, you’d never even know.

MC: I’m on another whole level than you.

MC: I could play games around you all day long if I wanted to, and you’d never be the wiser.

SURESH: Now that’d be interesting.

③.

MC: Whoever you thought I was then isn’t who I am now. I’ve changed since our break-up.

SURESH: People don’t change. Not really.

MC: Well, then, I guess you’ll have to wait and see.

—

SURESH: Games or no games, my head won't be turned, no matter who walks through that door.

SURESH: I'm going to win you back.

{If could want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said I need to convince you, and I will.

{If don't want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said you don't want me back, but I'll change your mind.

{If not sure E02}

SURESH: I know you're not sure, but you will be.

SURESH: I’ve changed a lot since you last saw me… I’ll show you.

SURESH: I admit it: In the past, I didn’t treat you as well as you deserved.

SURESH: And I'm not claiming to have turned into an angel now….

SURESH: After all, angels are boring…

SURESH: But I am done cheating.

CHOICE

①. Maybe you’ve learned your lesson

②. I don't buy it, Suresh

①.

MC: I might believe you.

SURESH: Do you?

MC: I’m saying it’s possible you mean it when you say you're not a cheater anymore.

MC: Whether you can follow through is something else.

②.

MC: You can save your breath, ‘cos I'm not buying it.

SURESH: I'm serious.

MC: You can talk the talk, but so far, your actions don’t match what you’re saying.

—

SURESH: Don’t worry; I'll show you I'm serious.

SURESH: I'll give you some space to get your head sorted. That’s what a good guy would do, right?

MC: Are you saying you’re a good guy now?

Suresh gives you a mysterious smile as he hovers closer to you…

SURESH: Fair. I'll never be good, but that's what turns you on about me.

CHOICE

①. Don’t tell me what I think!

②. I like nice guys

③. Maybe it does

①.

MC: Don’t assume you know my mind! Ugh, that’s so typical of you!

MC: You haven’t changed at all.

You turn to leave.

SURESH: Wait!

SURESH: Hear me out.

②.

MC: What turns me on is a nice boy.

MC: ‘Good’ is what I’m into.

MC: Not that you’d understand that.

SURESH: Actually, I do. I get it now.

③.

MC: Maybe I like the bad boy thing…

MC: Maybe I just don’t like it on YOU anymore?

MC: Or maybe I like a bad boy who’s actually a good guy deep down.

SURESH: Maybe that’s who I am now.

—

SURESH: I’m different now.

SURESH: Back then, I’d do anything – say anything – to get in your bed.

MC: Now you’ve gotten back into my bed ‘cos we’re a couple. No change there.

SURESH: That’s where you’re wrong.

SURESH: I’m stepping back and giving you the bed.

MC: What?

SURESH: I’ll sleep on the day beds tonight.

MC: Why would you do that?

SURESH: Got to give you a chance to miss me.

SURESH: But seriously. I’ll give you all the space you need. I’m ready to play the long game.

SURESH: Sweet dreams.

He swaggers away with a sexy smirk.

You watch him as he walks out into the garden, sipping gently on his drink.

——————————————————————————————

You and the other girls are in the dressing room, removing the day's make-up. Obvious tension in the air between you and Kat.

MC: Intense day, huh?

KAT: That's one word for it.

DANA: Today was bonkers-tonkers! But I'm having a blast.

DANA: I'm obsessed with those little birdies that keep drinking from the pool!

DANA: Worst case scenario and I don't find love in here? At least I'll have seen some sick wildlife.

DANA: I'll be the girl who leaves the villa with a nightingale!

The mood lightens in the room.

DANA: Girls, what'd you say to a 'no cracking on' pact?

KAT: Babe, cracking on is the whole reason I'm here.

DANA: Just for tonight, I mean.

Kat raises an eyebrow.

DANA: As a way to keep the drama at bay on the first night. Ya know?

KAT: OK, then. I'm all about girl-code.

She shoots you a look.

DANA: You down, [MC]?

CHOICE

①. Yes girl-code! I'm down with the pact

②. Nah, I reserve my right to crack on!

①.

MC: Absolutely.

MC: I'm so down with this pact. Great idea!

MC: The Suresh situation has caused enough drama for one day.

KAT: Let's not forget the Alfie situ, too.

DANA: Yay! Pact!

②.

MC: No cracking on sounds like no fun.

MC: I'm all for girl-code, but this is Love Island, not friend island.

DANA: I just thought maybe after the whole Suresh situ this afternoon, we'd want a drama-free night?

MC: Sometimes you need to step on toes to find love.

MC: Sorry, girls. I vote no on the pact.

DANA: Fair; you do you, girl. But Kat and I are committed to the pact.

DANA: Right, Kat?

—

KAT: 'No cracking on' doesn't mean no looking.

She smiles mischievously.

KAT: Sharing a bedroom full of hot guys is my kind of paradise.

You and Dana exchange a nervous glance. Kat catches you.

KAT: Don't get moody, babes.

KAT: The pact ain't stopping me from being the hottest girl in the bedroom.

KAT: I've got a banging outfit for tonight.

DANA: Me too. The pact doesn’t mean I’m not going all out to make an impression on the first night.

DANA: Gonna make sure I’m looking and feeling lush!

KAT: Talking a strong game, Dana. Wonder whether {0} will go big or go home?

DANA: I’ve got an idea. Try on this gorgeous bedroom outfit, {0}.

KAT: That's a saucy little outfit.

KAT: Guess you're trying to compete with me.

DANA: Woooooooooo, girl! You look hot!

DANA: I can't get enough.

DANA: So, are you gonna go with that or something else?

CHOICE

①. Yes, I’m wearing this!

②. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

③. Maybe I’ll stick with what I was wearing

① & ②.

You pose confidently in front of the mirror.

MC: I love it.

DANA: You are looking absolutely fire!

KAT: Yep, even I can’t argue with that!

③.

MC: I can just change back…

MC: Is it too blah?

DANA: OK, real talk.

DANA: You know I think you’re hot as heck, but

DANA: You’re selling yourself short in that.

DANA: Plus, the boys might not get your whole… uhrmmm… effortless chic thing.

KAT: Your whole grandma thing, more like.

You study yourself in the mirror. Maybe you do look a little basic.

DANA: If you're not feeling those PJs, change into something else.

CHOICE

❶. You’ve swayed me. I’m going for this fancy outfit!

❷. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

❸. I’m sticking with my original look

❶ & ❷.

DANA: So, you’ve settled on the saucy outfit anyway. Can’t blame you.

KAT: Yeah, you look stunning. I’m not sure I’d have been able to pick anything else.

❸.

MC: I look nice in this.

DANA: You do you, [MC].

KAT: Sometimes it helps to be a little bit more than nice though, babe.

MC: Actually, I do look absolutely stunning in this!

DANA: You sure do.

KAT: I’ve got to give it to you. You look pretty good. Almost as good as me.

DANA: No need to be sour, Kat.

DANA: You look great in that outfit!

KAT: Yeah, it’s a good choice too, you look hot as.

DANA: So, you’re sticking with the basics. Fair enough.

KAT: Well, I guess you’ll be comfortable at least.

Kat and Dana strut out of the dressing room.

You check yourself out in the mirror for a moment before heading towards the bedroom.

As you're stepping out of the dressing room, Alfie catches you.

ALFIE: Can we have a quick chat?

MC: Sure. What's up?

ALFIE: I've been feeling low-key awks about the Kat drama earlier.

MC: Not your fault. Kat is…

ALFIE: She's fiery.

You chuckle.

MC: She’s not shy, that’s for sure.

ALFIE: She knows her mind and doesn't take any crap. I like that.

MC: Oh. Ok.

ALFIE: It's all good.

ALFIE: Listen, I wanted to say I hope that the drama with Kat hasn't jeopardised our friendship.

MC: So we're just friends?

ALFIE: Of course not 'just friends'.

{If kissed Alfie E02}

ALFIE: Who could forget our near-kiss earlier?

MC: Not me. The sparks were flying.

ALFIE: I think I got an electric shock.

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

ALFIE: How could I forget that steamy smile you gave me at the bean bags?

MC: Glad you didn’t forget about it.

ALFIE: A man could never forget getting lost in your beautiful eyes.

{If hugged Alfie E02}

ALFIE: I haven’t forgotten that loooooong hug we had on the bean bags.

MC: Glad I left an impression on you.

{If kissed Alfie's neck while hugging E02}

ALFIE: And don’t think that sexy little neck kiss escaped my notice either.

ALFIE: There's definitely chemistry. Chemistry that could maybe synthesise –

ALFIE: Synthesise? That’s a chemistry word, right? I’m counting it as a pun.

ALFIE: Anyway, we’ve got chemistry that could develop into a romantic connection. I think.

MC: You think? You don't sound too sure.

Alfie shrugs.

ALFIE: Early days, innit? But obviously I'll be sharing a bed with Kat tonight.

ALFIE: But nothing is set in stone yet, ya know?

ALFIE: It's only the first day and I'm not putting all my eggs in any one basket yet.

ALFIE: People in here are still just starting to show their true colours. Like your ex…

MC: I saw he pulled you for a chat earlier.

ALFIE: I like to chat to everyone. See who's who. Social butterfly, innit?

MC: Sure. But it looked like a kinda deep conversation you had with Suresh.

ALFIE: We had a solid chat, yeah.

CHOICE

①. Any goss?

②. Don't trust him

③. I don’t want to pry

①.

MC: Come on, spill the tea

ALFIE: It was just a casual chat.

MC: Why are you so interested in talking to Suresh all of a sudden?

ALFIE: Why is it a problem if I am?

MC: It could be if you're digging for dirt on me.

ALFIE: Whoa, who said anything about digging for dirt?

MC: So you’re saying I didn’t come up?

ALFIE: Well…

②.

MC: You know you can't believe everything Suresh says, right?

ALFIE: Why not?

MC: He's a cheater. Cheaters can't be trusted. Take it from me.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I took anything he said about you with a pinch of salt.

③.

MC: It’s none of my business what you talked about.

MC: I’m not assuming you guys talked about me.

—

ALFIE: We talked about a bunch of stuff. It wasn’t just about you.

MC: So you and Suresh DID talk about me!

Alfie hesitates.

ALFIE: Yeah, Suresh told me some stuff. Why?

CHOICE

①. None of my business

②. Is Suresh turning you against me?

③. I care about your opinion, not Suresh’s

①.

MC: Whatever. You boys are entitled to your private chats.

MC: It’s not my place to constantly censor people’s opinions of me.

ALFIE: I still think you're a top girl. You've got the bants, the looks, the personality.

ALFIE: But there's still loads we don't know about each other yet.

②.

MC: He better not be feeding you lies about me.

ALFIE: You don't know what he said about you.

MC: I know there are two sides to every story. Suresh could be biased when it comes to our past.

MC: He has no right to try to sabotage whatever connections I might be building here in the villa…

③.

MC: I’m not bothered by what Suresh thinks about me. I care what you think about me.

MC: Suresh is going to say what he feels. But remember he’s my ex.

MC: My past is my past. Anything you've heard, I hope it hasn't ruined any potential here and now.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I form my own opinions on people.

—

ALFIE: You and me, we've got a connection, for sure.

{If wearing gem outfit}

ALFIE: And you’re looking incredible in that outfit, my days.

ALFIE: But like I said, It's early days.

ALFIE: Who knows what will happen?

{If chose Alfie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with me, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Eddie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Eddie, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Suresh E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Suresh, but things change fast in here.

ALFIE: A day is like a week in the villa.

ALFIE: We're still all figuring each other out. Don’t you think?

CHOICE

①. Absolutely! Same page

②. I’m neutral

③. I’ve figured out I’m into you

①.

MC: Definitely agree! We’re still the getting-to-know-everyone phase.

MC: In the meantime, it’s good we keep things light and easy.

MC: After all, tomorrow’s a new day.

②.

MC: I want everyone to be open-minded and not write people off too fast.

MC: Do you and I have a clean slate moving forward?

ALFIE: I hope so!

③.

MC: I already know I’m into you.

MC: I know what I like.

MC: If you’re not completely sold on me yet, I’ll just have to get grafting tomorrow, won’t I?

ALFIE: I look forward to it.

—

ALFIE: Excited to see what’s in store for us in the morning!

——————————————————————————————

You enter the iconic villa bedroom and cosy up in bed, alone. Suresh is outside on the day beds, ‘giving you space’.

You look around the room at the other couples snuggled up in bed together: Kat and Alfie, Dana and Eddie.

Finn stops by the foot of your bed.

FINN: You alright in that big bed all by yourself?

CHOICE

①. Heck yes! Extra space!

②. My mind is racing. I can’t relax

③. Actually, it's kinda lonely without a hot boy in here

①.

MC: I'm loving all this room.

You stretch out, luxuriantly.

FINN: Bet you wish I was taking up some of that room.

MC: Sounds like that’s YOUR wish, Finn…

MC: I'm enjoying having the bed to myself.

②.

MC: Ugh, no. I just can't turn off my brain and get comfy.

FINN: Would be a lot comfier with me in there with you.

MC: If you’re trying to help, thanks…

MC: But I just can't relax.

MC: My brain is whirling.

Finn perches on the edge of the bed.

FINN: Worried about the Alfie/Suresh situation?

MC: I'm not sure where I stand with either of them.

FINN: Try to sleep. Save sorting it for the morning.

③.

MC: All I’m missing is a sexy boy beside me.

FINN: Sounds like you need some company.

MC: Who says I was talking about you?

FINN: Of course you were. I'm VERY good company.

MC: I'm sure you are…

MC: But we're not a couple.

FINN: Yet.

He winks.

—

Finn wanders off toward his own bed, but continues chatting away to the whole room.

FINN: Don't worry, ladies. I won't be going to bed on my lonesome after tomorrow.

CHOICE

①. I'd love to get in his bed

②. I wish he’d cut the cockiness and let us sleep

①.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: Imagine what it'd be like to curl up next to Finn?

MC: His shredded, tatted arms spooning you?

You shiver with excitement. Dana giggles.

DANA: That could be you in 24 hours, if he chooses you to couple up with tomorrow.

②.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: I could use a break from Finn's constant cockiness.

MC: Ugh, I’m trying to sleep.

DANA: Like, we get it, Finn. You're hot and single.

MC: My brain is fried from all the drama today. I just want to sleep and wake up clear-headed tomorrow.

The bedroom lights go out and you settle in for sleep. But some rustling and whispering makes you open your eyes.

You look to your side and you can just make out Alfie and Kat in the next bed. A few tell-tale giggles suggest something more than just snuggling is going on.

KAT: Oh, Alfie.

ALFIE: You’re naughty.

You roll over. In the bed on your other side, you see the shadows of Dana and Eddie. They're spooning!

But Eddie soon nods off. A full day of flexing his pecs must have left him exhausted. He starts snoring, loud enough to drive Dana to the very edge of their bed.

You're distracted by more giggles rising from Kat and Alfie's bed.

Alfie and Kat are completely under the duvet. You see Kat's outstretched arm drop a piece of her nightwear to the floor. You can't be sure exactly what's happening, but it certainly seems like she's abandoned the no-cracking-on code.

CHOICE

①. Hide your head under a pillow

②. Get Dana's attention

③. Cough loudly

①.

You shove your head under your pillow. You don't want to see or hear any more.

②.

You roll over onto your other side. Psstt! You softly get Dana's attention.

When she blinks open an eye, you lean over and whisper.

MC: Are you seeing this?!

You nod toward Alfie and Kat's bed.

Dana sits up, looks over, and whispers back to you.

DANA: Is she breaking the pact already?!

You shrug.

Dana throws a balled-up pair of socks at Alfie and Kat's bed. You giggle.

Dana hisses at Alfie and Kat's duvet.

DANA: Oi! What happened to the pact, Kat?

Kat pops her head over the duvet, shoots you a grin, and then disappears back under it. Dana turns to you.

DANA: We're definitely grilling her about this tomorrow!

③.

You cough, loudly and on purpose. Alfie and Kat's giggles stop for a second.

But as soon as you shut your eyes, the giggles start back up again. You sigh and bury your head in your pillow.

—

Dana sneaks over to your bed and whispers.

DANA: I have to tell you! I can't sleep on it.

MC: What?

DANA: Earlier, Alfie told me that Suresh was hinting that your flirty behaviour with Alfie was just games.

DANA: Just a way to make Suresh jealous.

Before you can react to this revelation, Suresh walks into the room to get some insect repellent. You and Dana instantly stop talking.

Suresh looks over at you. There's a moment of tension. You hold your breath.

Suresh gives you a smile.

SURESH: I know I said I’d give you space, but good guys say good-night, right?

SURESH: Sleep tight. See you in your dreams.

He winks and leaves for the day beds.

DANA: Seems Suresh wants to play some games after all.

DANA: Question is: What are you going to do about it, [MC]?

NARRATOR: Kat and Alfie have already had more under the sheets action than I’ve had all year.

NARRATOR: Just kidding. I went dressed as a ghost to a fancy dress party. It counts.

NARRATOR: But will Kat and Alfie’s coupling come to a premature Finn-ish tomorrow night?

NARRATOR: Or will our crafty bombshell couple up with [MC] instead?

NARRATOR: Find out next time on Love Island.

[fanficwriter284]

hi, can you write chiffany :p? maybe drama or something :D

Hiya!! And ya of course!!! Sorry I didn't respond to this right away!!!!

(I've been kinda losing motivation to write....BUT that ain't an excuse!!! And I love me some Chiffany)

Chucky had been fixing his long locks for about 20 minutes, it was a Friday afternoon right around the time the Ray kids should be released from school grounds. However, today had been...rather peculiar. Since the school had called in Charles and Tiffany...it wouldn't have been odd if it had been Glenda, since....well Glenda was infamous for causing fights on school grounds but no....it was their youngest...Chelsea. Apparently, the young Red had gotten into a fight with a group of boys. Which was odd since Chelsea rarely had gotten physical with another student. Chucky was pulled from the mirror by his wife who had motioned for him to follow her to the car. With one final slick of the hair, he quickly made his way to his wife's side, rubbing his eyes in exhaustion. Today marked a whole week without sleep for Chucky, who had been struggling with severe insomnia. During the drive to the school, the couple said nothing, both falling silent thinking of what could have caused such an outburst from their recluse of a daughter.

...

Once they arrived they both sat in the main office waiting to be called in by one of the staff. Chucky had leaned on Tiffany's shoulder trying to rest his eyes, while they both waited. He began to dose off until a lady walked in and motioned for both of them to follow, which had brought a wave of annoyance over Chucky who had finally managed to catch blissful Z's. The two sat in rather tall chairs both of which possessed metal bolts that tugged at their hair. Finally, Chelsea entered the room, she had a few light blemishes and scratches on her cheeks. The young girl sat in between her parents, catching each of their curious eyes. Before she could utter a single phrase the principal walked in and folded his arms across his torso.

"So as you all know Chelsea had gotten into a fight with a group of boys today...and as stated in the school moral code of conduct fight and any form of harassment is strictly prohibited" The man leaned closer specifically eyeing Chelsea as he spoke.

"Now Chelsea do you care to explain why you fought a group of boys" He spoke leaning closer to the young girl.

Chelsea frowned and corrected her posture.

"Those boys tried ripping off Benny's hearing aids...And well...Principal Brown, I do recall they attacked me first...so my retaliation was a form of self-defense. And the group of boys were first to break said code of conduct.... since they were after all harassing a boy who is deaf and has issues socializing."

The young girl's response caused everyone to fall silent, and earning Chelsea a look of approval from her father who had a grin spreading from cheek to cheek. Meanwhile, Tiffany remained silent.

"So...anything else....Principal Brown?''

The man remained silent stunned and defeated.

"No? Then we'll be on our merry way...come on"

The family left the school and drove off to an ice cream shop, celebrating Chelsea's little victory....or at least Chucky and Chelsea were...Tiffany just observed watching the two while biting at her ice-cream cone.

...

Once the family arrived home Chelsea ran off to her room leaving the couple to themselves. Tiffany pulled her husband aside having a quiet conversation with him.

"I don't think you should be rewarding this kind of behavior Chucky"

Her comment caused some confusion within the man. He didn't quite understand her issue.

"What are you talking about? We should be proud of her. She stood up for herself and her friend. I mean did you see how she shut the principal up like nothing?! That shit was impressive!"

Tiffany furrowed one of her brows and stepped closer to her husband.

"Yeah, I get that...but remember what you said. What this whole family said?! That we were gonna at least try and be normal. And how we weren't gonna try and--"

Chucky frowned and interjected.

"Yes I remember, but Tiff I didn't hear ANY complaining when shit like this happened to Glenda. Hell, you always applauded that little fireball. I bet even now you would. If shit this ever happened to Glen or--"

Tiffany pushed closer glaring at her husband.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. What do you think it means Tiffany?" He pushed back not intending to back down.

"Are you saying I favor our other kids over Chelsea?"

"Did you hear me say that?"

Tiffany stepped closer, pushing the rest of her blond hair back and out of her face.

"No, but it sure as hell sounds like it Charles. I treat and love all our kids equally. You know that and she knows it"

Chucky couldn't hold back an eye roll and pushed closer.

"Tiffany, what was her last debate about?"

The blonde pulled away confused. "Excuse m--"

"What was her last debate about? Answer the damn question"

Tiffany stood in thought for a moment, sighing at the realization that she had no clue as to what it was.

"Fine you wanna play this game, what was Glen's last play"

Charles squinted folding his arms. "Return of the Roman King"

Tiffany froze shocked that he actually knew, leaving her stunned in silence.

"Ya know it's rather hypocritical that you ask ME, to step up as a father, and you can't even be there for your youngest. I mean sure the plays and dance recitals get old...but at least I go....I can't even remember the last debate you went to for Chelsea"

Tiffany was on the verge of tears, shaking, and hushed into silence. She had absolutely nothing to say. Chucky softened a tad bit and approached his wife, wiping away tears that streamed down her cheeks, sighing as Tiffany leaned further into his chest. He wrapped a comforting arm around her providing comfort to his distressed wife.

"Just go talk to her"

The woman pulled away and nodded, sniffling, wiping her tears out of her glossed eyes.

"I will....and....I'm sorry"

"It's fine...now....go talk to your daughter"

Drama in the gay mermaid community

A few days after their okay-ish date, Marisa invited Akva to go swim at a swimming pool in the spice district. She thought it was a nice gesture, as it was the area where they both grew up, and it looks better than ever now that it got massively renovated a year ago. On top of that, since that renovation, there's been a promotion every Monday morning and mermaids can swim there for free.

Akva: So yeah, turns out the guy I had picked specifically as a last ditch effort to convince myself I'm not a lesbian was a trans woman this whole time. Granted, I found that out two years after we broke up, but that's still funny. Marisa: Oh wow, that's crazy. Maybe it's because on like, some level you knew. Akva: That sounds unlikely.

Akva looked up and for the love of Poseidon, speaking of the Devil, there she was taking a dive into the pool.

Akva: Oh my god, Athena! Athena! Athena: Oh HIIIIII!!!!

The blue mermaid swam towards her ex-girlfriend, at sat next to her.

Akva: What are you doing here? Athena: Ok, ya see, I accepted Paisley's offer to be her video editor, and so for a short while I did so while living in Del Sol Valley. The thing is I've been living on the West Coast for years now, since I left for college, and I missed San Myshuno. And so, last month, I finally moved back home, got an apartment and everything. I'm still working for Paisley, just from a distance. By the way, Sara continue to be a happy healthy toddler, and began going to daycare back in September. Akva: That's great to hear. I'm also surprised to see how different you look from last time. How did you changed so fast in just a few months? Athena: Magic. Like a spellcastress sold me a potion. The effects are only temporary and not as powerful as a full blown genderbending potion, but it'll do for now. Until I can admit it to my parents. Akva: You're back in town and you still haven't told your parents? Imagine if they can recognize you, I mean, I just did so why couldn't they? Athena: "In town". San Myshuno has a population of 8.5 millions. The odds of me coming across my parents are so low. It's already a huge coincidence I came across you. Akva: Ok but like, you're in the spice district, which is where we both grew up, and has a huge mermaid population. It kinda raises the odds you'll come across them, don't you think? Athena: I-It's not the same thing. They don't know I'm a woman now, they probably won't realize I'm, well, me. You know, that's how you recognize me.

Marisa laid down, waiting for them to change the subject so she could join the conversation. It never happened though, they argued about Athena's coming out plan, then went on to gossip about what their former classmates from high school are now up to.

Akva: You look beautiful by the way. Athena: Oh my god, thank you. Marisa: That's it, I gotta go. Akva: What, why?

Marisa stood up drag herself away from the pool, and as soon as her legs grew back, she walked up. Concerned on what she did wrong, Akva also stood up and speed walked towards her, as everyone knows you cannot run near a pool.

Marisa: That's really rude to flirt with your ex during a date you know? Akva: Th-This was a date?! How was I supposed to know? You did not told me. Marisa: I-I...Well, it's true I didn't told you, because I thought it was pretty obvious. Akva: I don't think it works like that. We're not girlfriend, as long as we're not, as far as I know any going out is just platonic friendly outing. And...Ok, since a miscommunication put us into this mess, I'll just go straight to the point, I do not want to be your girlfriend. Marisa: Well me neither!

That's when Marisa left. Akva felt awful, she didn't want to hurt her feelings, she's a fine girl, a fine girl who she's not into. If only she knew. Meanwhile, Athena kept on sitting by the pool. In a way, it wasn't really her fault, it's not like she knew, but like Akva, she couldn't help but feel like garbage over this.

Prev - Next

[bohemian-nights]

Rhaenys is my favourite character on the show - a show that was overall a massive disappointment - , and along with Visenya, Rhaena and Alysanne, she's my favourite character in the book too. I prefer the book version. The book,while sucking at many points, at least allows much more interpretation since it’s just a history book written by some dude years and years later. Therefore I can literally do whatever I want with the "real" story and don’t have to mind other interpretations. Now the show overshadows and ruins everything Lol.

Okay, but the thing that annoys me personally most is the romantization of Rhaenys/Corlys. First I was angry they made them the same age. I mean, come on! The creators clearly have an issue with depicting age gap relationships since Daemon never ages despite marrying one childbride after another (funnily enough a new haircut doesn’t make me think: oh, look, he grew older). Book!Rhaenys married a man twice her age, which is totally fine, if it weren’t for the fact that she was just 16 years old at the time. (And just btw, in the real Middle Ages people FROWNED heavily on matches like this - even in noble and royal circles). So Rhaenys was basically just a child, who I think was legit infatuated with the older and exciting man. Corlys in turn was glad to score a Targaryen princess, who was then heir to the throne, a dragon rider and pretty. But this relationship only has trouble written across it!!! Corlys isn’t a gentle man. He's got pride and plans - every part of his story shows us an ambitious, determined man, which is okay. If you ask me though, he could only end up grooming Rhaenys. She was a child, and despite all her brains and whatnot, at 16 she still had a child's naivity, that can be too easily shaped by the right person. By someone like cunning Lord Velaryon. The show, however, bust decided to make them this random straight couple from any 80s drama, and completely missed out the potential of a complicated relationship.

And I agree with you regarding the Council of 101. Rhaenys and Coryls could've done more lobbying/politicing for their cause. (I have my theory on why that didn’t happen, but if I say that I attract even more hate from Corlys stans).

But you know, this is why I'm so angry about the Rhaenys/Corlys dynamic on the show. Give me a damn twist. Show me this cool woman finally snapping out of her stupor and realising how she's been manipulated, trying to please men all her life (I see the irony in the Alicent & Rhaenys speech, even though I actually enjoyed that moment. It's good acting). Watching her daughter marry an even worse man, who then immediately after her death grabs the next girl he groomed (killing off her husband on the way) - what better premisis would there have been for Rhaenys to finally wake up??? But what does the show do? They give us a Rhaenys who runs around in circles, telling people she can’t make decisions without her husband and blah blah blah. For f*sake! Let her be a dragon! But no, in this setting women can only be as strong as it's comfy for patriachy and then we have to sell it off as feminism, because "she loved him so much".

I also never quite got why Rhaenys went to Rook's Rest on her own. When Daemon goes to the Riverlands there's an army with him, but Rhaenys heads out all by herself?...bad bad writing. And just as bad to me is the remark on how angry Corlys was about her death. I mean, come on, he was only angry because he basically lost his most powerful tool. Lucky though, that he had those bastards waiting in the background, ready to claim another dragon for House Velaryon.

Note: I would also like to thank the other anon who mentioned they didn’t like Daemon at all. I'm glad and relieved to hear other people share this feeling!

Rhaenys is a really interesting character who has so much potential to be this amazing woman, but then she kinda just goes along with the tide without really putting up a fight. I agree that book!Rhaenys’ actions are a little more understandable(although yeah her going by herself to Rooks Rest is a choice 😬), but show!Rhaenys’ actions don’t make a lick of sense past episode 7(cause why side with the woman who you think killed your son who just married the man who made your daughter so miserable 🫠).

How they handled her relationship with Corlys has been another choice. They’ve still kept the fact that he cheated on her(unless they make Alyn and Addam Vaemond’s bastards) so Rhaenys running around talking about I won’t do anything without Corlys is only going to make her look stupider when those boys show up(and some people say they’ll appear in episode two and she’s probably still alive then😬).

It would’ve been nice with the changes that they made she snapped and said enough is enough, but yeah that doesn’t happen. She never puts herself(or her granddaughters) first. She’s exactly who she claims Alicent is except she might be worse considering she had way more power than Alicent ever had yet she threw it all away for reasons🤦🏽‍♀️

At this point, it’s pretty obvious that this show is all about giving girl boss-looking moments(see having Rhaenys come in through the floorboards), but at the end of the day these women just look silly and weak(getting choked out, cheated on, slapped around, abused, acting oblivious to what’s happening around them, being smiling pretty puppets, etc.)

For a feminist show these women sure do lack agency🤷🏽‍♀️

Can I just say I love how people trash Daemon on this blog even though he's my favorite🤣 It's super amusing, but I get it cause he is very out there. He's an acquired taste.

[dragonfly0808]

I definitely don't want my message to sound mean so I'm sincerely deeply very sorry if it does that's really not my intention!!!

But, why did you choose Flora as the one who was betrayed (if I can say it like that) the most? First in season 2 with Bloom and then in season 3 with Sky. I don't know, I just think they're both pretty similar events in a way since she gets betrayed/hurted by people she trusts and loves. I find it a bit… kinda like repeating the same drama just with a different person? Don't get me wrong, I really don't want to sound mean or hurt you, I would just like to maybe, understand what you had in mind when you thought about these scenes? Is there any particular reason? Are they supposed to be some kind of parallels? Also I know that the consequences are way different but I was mostly talking on the betrayal part ! Also, maybe Sky could have hurt Tecna instead of Flora since Flora is a healer, she could have taken care of Tecna or maybe I am totally wrong?

I really don't intend to sound mean I'm really really really sorry if you take it the wrong way or if my comment comes across as arrogant or condescending, I'm sorry. I really like your rewrite and I have to admit to sacrificing a few hours of sleep to get ahead on it… I was just wondering about this.

Note: Your rewrite is a source of happiness (kinda weird saying knowing they all get through some shit in this) and as a really big fan of winx club, I think you have a really interesting take on it that is just captivating.

Have a nice day or evening !! ❤️

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2/3

Kay, so, there are 2 main reasons for this.

It’s kind of a parallel to see the progression of Bloom and Flora’s friendship, how it’s strained and shattered to see Bloom putting Flora first and their friendship fully heal.

The main reason is that… every girl has their major story line this season (Aisha has her blindness and Nabu, Stella has the curse and having to be away from Eraklyon, Musa has the whole Golden Archives, Tecna has Zenith and Bloom has… Valtor) so this, along with her Enchantix were Flora’s major story beats this season.

I tend to take what happened in the OG and escalate it. Aisha’s blindness lasts a week, Stella can’t go back to Solaria for months, Tecna loses her hand and leg in Zenith, the whole squad grieving, so I took my chance to make Flora’s burns more impactful than they were in the OG.

all the girls are majorly hurt in one way or another so this was just Flora’s hurt.

Also, no worries, you didn’t come across as rude at all! I get it might seem a bit repetitive but it just felt right and I knew that the person hurting most from a betrayal would be Flora and Bloom might be able to forgive Sky quicker for the others but overall Flora is the one to hurt if you really want to get to the squad so uh… yeah
