#like the vampires were one of my favorite things in the mortal instruments

[all-thestories-aretrue]

I am about 1 million years late to this but thank you for the tag @graphitekayla!!!

Rules: without naming them, post 10 gifs of your favorite shows, then tag 10 people. I'm definitely going to break this rule; you can't give me the opportunity to gush about my faves and not expect me to name them all!!

If anyone has followed me for any length of time none of this will be a shock lmao.

Shadowhunters, and more broadly speaking The Mortal Instruments. My first real fandom!!! I cannot overstate the impact the books and show had on my life. I wouldn't be who I am without it. I have an angelic rune tattoo. Magnus and Alec are some of the first queer characters I remember reading about. I remember where I was when they kissed for the first time in the show. You stupid nephilim lives rent free in my brain. This show (and the books) truly set up the trajectory my life is on now, and I will always always remember it fondly. Even with all the drama and discourse.

2. Critical Role, specifically C2. My first true obsession after the decade long Shadowhunters debacle. I stumbled into it to learn how to play D&D (which I now know is a controversy in and of itself lmao). But my friend @midnightellis wanted us to start a game, and I needed a way to learn that wasn't reading the books, so I started C2. It took 11 or 12 episodes, but then I fell in love. I spent the next almost year watching the entirety of C2 which culminated in visiting them to watch the finale together. I was extremely jetlagged. It was basically 8 amazing hours of nonstop crying. I have zero regrets. Except for the fact I still need to get the tattoo I had planned rip. One day!! I promise!!

3. Arcane!!!! A brief interlude between Shadowhunters and CR. There was about 4 months were I was OBSESSED and watched the entire show like 3 times back to back. I have many thoughts and feelings about Jayce. The show is also just so visually stunning. I cannot wait for S2 to drop in November!!!!!! I know nothing about League but I do really love this show.

4. House. Iconic. What else needs to be said? House is very much a comfort show for me; great to rewatch during the winter. I've watched the entire thing almost three times now, and even got my mom hooked lol. It was fun seeing all her reactions to everything before I moved.

5. If I had known what fandom was when this was airing, I truly would have been all over that shit. But I was 8 and didn't have access to the internet. Aang/Katara def my first otp lol. I did, however, ignore a friend that was over at my house to watch the finale, I believe. I definitely told them to go play so I could watch the show uninterrupted. Needless to say, they were not thrilled with that. I'm 90% sure it was the finale now, but I could be wrong about the episode. ATLA is also another comfort show that I could watch over and over again.

6. Shadow and Bone. I am still SICKENED this got canceled. Genya and David are the ultimate romance, and no one will convince me otherwise. I almost stopped reading when I found out his fate. I was devastated. Everyone in this show is also very pretty. I can't believe we won't get a s3.

I'm going to stop here because this is already long enough, and tbh I'm not sure I actually have four more shows. I can only be obsessed with one thing at a time, and the current obsession is Path of Night. And that does not seem to be waning any time soon.

Edit: Lost should 100% be on this list. I think I've watched it at least four times. My family and I watched it live as it was airing when I was a kid. And it still is one of my favorite shows. I know people got beef with the ending but I truly didn't mind it. Even if it's bad or whatever, I think Lost is still 100% worth watching. There are so many little hints and clues that I pick up something different every time, and each character death hits just as hard.

I'm going to tag: @gelatinouscute, @peppedstep, @midnightellis, @discordkittenterumi, @im-a-vampire-now, @zeena-athena , @syntia13treeman , @sapphicfugue , @dr-thumbs-brand-new-spot

If you want to do this :)

[ddejavvu]

My absolute favourite character is hard to narrow down, but my type is easy lol, I like brunettes who can kick my ass but who are secretly softies

So, Hotch/Reid/Prentiss (no I will not choose lol) from cm obvs

Bucky Barnes from marvel

Dean Winchester from Supernatural

Vincenzo from the show with the same name (he's mafia, but hates injustice, so he does a lot of protecting, and the show ends up being this big found family thing)

Isabelle Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments (she's a shadowhunter, meaning she's a human with angel blood which makes her stronger and has more skills than a human would be, and her job is to hunt demons)

(Honorable mention because he's not a brunette) Spike from Buffy the vampire slayer (he is a vampire who used to be the bad guy but then he got a crush and turned good because he's such a softie)

I didn't elaborate on the few first because I figured you know about them lol

Your favourites were Hotch and Eddie, right? Idk much about Eddie lol, is he from Stranger Things? Feel free to tell me about him

hotch reid and prentiss are also my favorites and i can't choose </33

bucky <33333 oh he was one of my first loves <3

i've heard of the rest of them for sure, but i've never really gotten into them!! i'll definitely check out the stuff they're from :D i love me a good found family trope hehe

eddie's just a big dumb stupid idiot and i hate him with all of the love in my heart <333 he's so terrible i love him so much <333 i wanna put him in my pocket and squish him <333

[makingshortstorieslong]

i just spent like. two hours reading magnus archives vampire au fic. i meant to be researching forensic linguistics, but, whatever, i’ve got like another week for that presentation

[starsandstars]

so.. Vampire Academy

it is my favorite book series, I really love it a lot and I enjoyed the movie as well, I thought the actors were picked very well and I didn't mind the lighter vibe it had, too shame it got cancelled.

Naturally, when I heard about the new show I was really happy. This happened already, I loved Mortal Instruments, but I also loved Shadowhunters. However, then the cast was revealed and we all were.. bewildered to say the least.

I understand we needed more diverse cast, but it's always hard for fans to see their book characters portrayed in a different way. I especially didn't understand changes like Lissa's hair color, Dimitri not really feeling like Dimitri etc.

But now I finally got to binge the first four episodes and I must say... I love it. I love it and I can't wait for more.

I feel like everyone is playing really well, they might not look like we imagined them, but they definitely feel like the characters we love so much. The plot is completely different, but a lot of things from different books mixed together so it kinda presents Easter eggs for fans who read the books, yet keeps them on their toes and still curious about what's gonna happen. They also left the important parts like Christian being outsider with Strigoi parents, Lissa's family dying, Rose and her mom, the bond, I really appreciate that.

For the changes. Some things are rather confusing, eg Lissa being princess even before her family died, the weird eye-light to show if a Moroi is Royal or not, the digital broadcasting.. but these are minor things that I can forgive. Also, I really enjoy the little city they live in, it gives us more interesting places to explore, rather than just one boarding school. And I find interesting what they did with Victor, Sonya and Mia. It makes so much sense and makes it very interesting to watch because you kinda know what might happen? Anyway, when Robert appeared and we saw him in bed with Victor for a sec I was really really confused, because they were brothers in the books :D

For the things I do mind or find bothersome. Dhampirs drinking every night, first of all - how old even are they? And second of all - they are Guardians or future Guardians, it was never said they don't drink, but to drink this excessively and party with students with teachers together like mates, that just doesn't seem right. It's not really clear if they study or not, we see Dhampirs training, but we only saw one strange class with Morois. And once again - how old are these people? :D The queen being queen for 200 years. I don't think Morois have longer life span than humans (and Dhampirs are not stronger or faster than humans either, they are just well trained, but that one I don't mind). That strange "go breed" thing. But tbh it sounds like something Royals from the books would do so I let that one slip :D but it's really.. ew. Dimitri. I don't like Dimitri very much, so I don't care all that, but some people might. He is the only one who isn't how he was portrayed in the books. The actor is fine, but idk why he doesn't have the right accent, that was such a big part of Dimitri and it kinda makes him lack the authenticity. And although he is kinda broody, he doesn't seem as such an introverted weirdo as he was in the books. But again, I don't mind, someone might.

That's everything that comes to mind at the moment. Like I said. There are plenty changes, some good, some a bit strange, but nothing too bad I think. I like how they composed all the books and added their own invention, I think it makes the series more interesting and more 2022ish. I look forward for the rest.

What do you think?

10 Books I Hope to Read in 2021

This isn’t in any particular order, just books that I hope and plan to read this year. I’m really inspired by my reading year in 2020 which was the best in a long time I truly believe––may academics allow––that I can carry that into the new year. I set my Goodreads goal to 24 books and here are 10 I hope get included:

1. A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

This is the first ever book that I’ve preordered, so this is an important mention! I fell in love with the A Court of Thorns and Roses series last year (my #1 books of 2020) so  I plan to keep up with it. All of the characters are my little babies that I want to protect. Their relationships are so sweet and they make me laugh and cry and make me happiness and fearful and hopeful. The fae world is also amazing with a great plot that got super political and action packed in book 3 and I hope to see some of that in this 5th book.

2. Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken

I’m also really big on wanting to continue series that I started in 2020 (especially finished series like this) so I don’t have to keep rereading the first books. Really all this requires is buying them. The Darkest Minds was fun and adventurous with some of the cutest friendships I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see how this turns politically and how it grows to Ruby vs. Clancy. This could get really intense and I’m ready for it, even if I’m stressed that I’ll end up crying.

3. Angela Davis

This is general want since I plan to get more into nonfiction and educational reading this year. I liked my read of The New Jim Crow and I feel like Angela Davis could give me a similar feel to fulfill my want for personal education. My current read is When They Call You a Terrorist and Angela writes a foreword in my edition––so I’m assuming if I like WTCYAT, I’ll also like Angela. Even if I only end up getting to her podcasts that would be fine because I’d just like to learn.

4. City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Just because I found the first book so entertaining and fast moving, I’m going to continue with this series. Plus the fact that I have every The Mortal Instruments book. It’s a pretty large world that I can’t just give up on so soon. Possibly just to get on the hype train, I’m going to try my hardest to dig into this series. There are a few things, I’m unsure if they will arise in this book or not, that I know will make me feel... weird––thanks to spoilers from 7 years ago when I thought I’d never read this series––but I’m ready.

5. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

I recently bought this at Half Price Books and I had no idea what I wanted to get until I saw this. For most of early high school, Maggie was my favorite author because I adored her Shiver series and loved the first two books in The Raven Cycle and recently enjoyed All the Crooked Saints. I hope to read all of her books someday and own them all. I had never liked magical realism so much until reading her and it’s now a theme in books that draw me in.

6. Betrayed by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

My current read is the first novel in this series and although I’m not sure if it’s worth it to continue the series, I think I will. My sister got me the first 4 books in a boxed set 5 or 6 years ago and I’m only touching them now. This could be a mistake because I’m much more mature of a reader than this is aimed at. I would hate to not read them though since it took me so long to read them, that’s not the books’ fault. I also think they could be good buffer reads as just a trashy, fun novel about high school vampires for when I’m busy.

7. Stand Off by Andrew Smith

This is a long awaited one! Winger, the first book in this duology, tore me apart! I keep forgetting that it’s one of the books that have made me genuinely cry over the years and it was my favorite novel of 2017 and I finished it on New Year’s Eve. I loved the style of writing and the characters were funny and lovable and the setting new to me at the time that everything was intriguing. I plan to reread Winger so that I remember everything that happens even though I know that I’ll be utterly heartbroken at the end but that is okay! I want to see how life turns out for our main character, whose name I don’t even remember!

8. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I bought this one from B&N a few days ago and I’m super excited because I loved the ACOTAR series by SJM. I know that everyone who is a fan of her writing really adores this series as well and I’m ready to adore it too. It helps a lot that the series is completed because then I can soar through it without stopping. Surprisingly, I think I’ve managed to avoid spoilers from this series. I’m ready to throw myself in the characters and a new fantasy world by the SJM, who has risen to the top of my favorite authors list.

9. It’s Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han

Since only one other book on here so far is YA contemporary fiction, I thought it’d be perfect to include another one. This is a sequel I don’t yet have on my shelf but one I plan to buy. I loved Jenny Han in high school after reading TATBILB, which is my favorite trilogy ever and I had fun with the first book to the Summer series. Picking up Jenny Han again would hopefully revert me back to a time when reading was purely fun and I didn’t get upset if I didn’t meet my page goal for the day. I also haven’t read much contemporary (romance) since I started reading again over the summer even though it has historically been my favorite genre.

10. The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

This is one that I plan on getting from Book of the Month. I would have gotten it in what I believe was the December picks but I had no idea what it was about. If I had known it was a Jane Eyre retelling, I would’ve picked it up immediately! Jane Eyre is probably my favorite classic of all time after reading it in high school. It’s obviously a modern version but I’d love to see how such a classic story is updated and made new. It will also help me read more genres since I didn’t read a single mystery thriller in 2020.

Overture

Ikemen Vampire: Mozart / MC

Rating: 18+

Word Count: 2690

Summary: Steam in the music room w a touch of comedy our 2nd favorite tandem, the English writer and the Japanese poet!

FIRST FIC ALERT . Its my first time writing any fics... And anything smutty for that matter.

I had a ton of fun writing this!!!

Do let me know if it is  o k a y  or if it needs improvement. ✌🏻🥴

Finally, her last chore of the day: deliver Isaac’s midnight snacks. 

As she climbed the stairs to deliver Isaac’s sandwich and blanc, she heard a faint piano melody coming from the other end of the hall: Mozart’s music room. It was slow, light, and performed with enviable evenness- fit for a slow dance under the stars. ‘I might as well bring him some snacks too’ she thought.

Moments later, she came back from the kitchen with a box of chocolates, 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee, and a vial of rouge.

The hall was silent, with light leaking from the slightly opened door of the music room,

“Wolf, I brought some snacks”, she called out before pushing the door open to enter the room.

The windows were open, and the curtains were fully tucked to the sides. The cool evening breeze brushing into the room, and the light from the chandelier subtly illuminating the pristine white and gold grand piano.

She placed the tray on the nearby table and glanced again around the room, he was nowhere in sight.

She approached the piano and placed a hand on the keys, gliding slowly upon the tips of her fingers. ’I missed this’

Being a former pianist herself, she had adored this instrument since the first time she laid eyes on it. Gorgeous and white, oh how she wished she had the same one back home.

She turned to the door, still no Mozart. 

'It wouldn’t hurt to play, I guess. I just need to keep it low.’ she thought before propping herself on the bench. Gasping at the full view of the beautiful instrument.

She took a breath. Letting muscle memory take the lead, she started playing a favorite of hers, Chopin’s Nocturne - op.9 no.2 in EbM.

Pianissimo. Pianissimo. 

Just as Mozart left Jean’s quarters, he heard a faint piano melody. He frowned, baffled by the audacity and stupidity, ‘Who in his right mind - even left the door wide open.’ 

But as the music grew, so did his curiosity. This music wasn’t from his own composition.

Pianissimo. Pianissimo.

Despite the constant reminder to herself, she eventually lost herself in the piece. Emotion poured as she played, ever so slightly changing the dynamics of the piece to her liking. The world around her disappeared.

Mozart was by the door, surprised by the sight of his love on the keys,

‘She can play?’ He had so many questions.

He walked past behind her until he got to the seats. Nothing. She was fully immersed in the music.

So he sat there, enthralled by both the music and the view.

Her fingers danced on the keys. Soon enough, the melancholic melody filled the room and seeped to the hallway. She finally reached the last chord. The last note.

She lifted her hands from the keys and rested them to the side, anchoring herself to the seat. She sighed. A soft smile painted her lips. Contented and relaxed on the bench.

‘Oh, did it feel good to play again.’

“Your cadenza could use more practice. You’re dragging, but good, nonetheless.” an insult from an all-to-familiar voice broke the silence, sending a chill down her spine. She turned in her seat, surprised.

“Wolf! H-how long have you been-” eyes wide, she found Mozart, legs crossed, seated by the table with a cup of coffee in hand,

“Quite some time now.” He said as he quirked an eyebrow and pushed a piece of chocolate into his mouth.

She was too engrossed in playing, she hadn’t noticed Mozart enter the room.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have.” she fumbled and motioned to stand from the bench, preparing to make a run for it while trying to form a good enough excuse.

Mozart raised his hand, gesturing her to stop as he slightly choked on the chocolate he was eating,

"Stay.”

She gave him a good stare before sitting back down on the bench. She turned to face him, hands on her lap, guiltily fondling her skirt.

She knew Mozart didn’t like people touching his things, especially his music - his piano.

She gave off a light sigh as she lifted her head to the sight of Mozart handing her her coffee,

“Drink, it’ll get cold.”

She took the cup from him. It’s still warm, but not as hot as how she wanted it to be.

Mozart sat back down, fingers now cradling his jaw, arm leaning on the table, “So, what are you calling it?”

She slightly shook her head and stared at him in question.

“What is the name of the piece?” He asked again.

“Oh- Nocturne in Eb Major. I didn’t compose it though. It’s Fryderyk Chopin’s-”

Her lips curled up just by talking about it. Then she noticed Mozart’s bewildered look,

“He came, roughly, a couple of decades after you.”

He nodded, “Hmm. It’s a beautiful piece.”

He reached out for another piece of chocolate, and popped it into his mouth, trying to hide his growing jealousy of how enthusiastically she spoke of another man.

“It is. In fact, it is one of my favorites to play. Your music influenced his, and many more, you know?” She smiled brightly at Mozart before taking a sip of her coffee.

He felt his cheeks lightly flush at the compliment. Little did he know how big an impact his music has made on the world, centuries after his mortal soul passed.

Mozart cleared his throat. “You, on the other hand, never mentioned you can play?”

He stared hard at her, as if feeling cheated.

Her smile faded into a look of embarrassment. She sunk her face to meet her rising hands that cradled the cup, and drowned herself in coffee.

The last thing she would’ve ever wanted was to receive criticisms from people, especially Mozart, knowing how much of a perfectionist he was when it came to music.

“I just know a bit. There’s still a lot for me to learn.” she chuckled to her now empty cup.

Mozart let out a smirk. He obviously didn’t believe her. Her humility and simplicity always made his heart skip a beat, falling for her even more. He liked that about her.

Mozart grabbed a piece of chocolate from the box, left his seat, and made his way behind her. “Oh lamb,”

He placed a hand on her shoulder, and the other, finger lightly traced along the length of her spine- from her nape, down to the curve of her back, causing her to arch her back and release a soft moan. 

Ahh.

As soon as her mouth opened, he stuffed the chocolate in.

“Your posture”

He bent over to nuzzle her neck, breathing her sweet scent in. Her heart beating wildly as he growled and nipped her ear.

“Your control”

He pulled the cup from her grasp, letting her hands drop gently on the keys.

“and fingering tell me otherwise, meine liebe.”

He holds her chin between his fingers, tilts her face for their eyes to meet.

“Du kannst mich nicht täuschen.” / “You cannot fool me.”

He stepped away to set the cup on the table, leaving her flushed from ear to ear, and her breathing heavy and erratic. 'What a tease!’

“Go on now. Play.” He demanded. 

She froze in her seat and chose to ignore his request. She rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh, quietly whispering to herself, “der penner.”

“I really can’t, but thank you anyway.” She closed the cover of the piano.

She patted her skirt down, stood from the bench to leave the room,

“Indeed, it has been a wonderful evening, Herr Moza-ah!”

Mozart interrupts her by pulling her by the wrist, and winding an arm around her waist to keep her still. Her palms braced on his chest.

“Hmm-” He tucks an errant lock of hair behind her ear and cups her cheek,

“First, you touch my music. Then, my piano. ” He pulls her in closer, the air between them getting hotter,

“Now, when I asked you to play, you call me a jerk and try to run away. ”

He looked directly into her eyes, studying her. 

“What am I going to do to you?”

She looks away from those intense violet eyes, her cheeks blush a bright pink. 

“I’m sorry, okay? Lesson learned-”

Mozart placed a finger on her lips, bringing back her gaze to meet his eyes that burned with passion and need.

“A lesson you shall learn then.”

He leaned in for a deep and gentle kiss, his tongue parted her lips, in search of hers. He pulls her in just a bit more as he slides his thigh in between her legs. 

She grasps his shirt, breaks the kiss and gasps at the sudden friction between her legs, “Wolf-”

Panting, he buries his face in her neck, breathing in her sweet scent and sucking gently along her pulse. His fangs emerge, grazing her skin ever so gently as he unbuttons her blouse one by one.

“Wolf, wait-” she gently pushes him as she hears voices in the hall. “-please, the door.”

He growls, breaks his hold on her, and heads for the open door, immediately switching the light off in the music room. He eyes Arthur and Dazai walking down from the parlor. 

“Wolfie! Done for today, yeah?” Arthur exclaims, “Fancy getting some drinks with us tonight?” 

Dazai eyes Natalia behind Mozart in the shadows of the dark room, clutching on to the top of her blouse. He places a hand on Arthur’s shoulder, “Now, now, Artie, Mo-kun looks exhausted. Some other time, no?” He looks at Mozart and flashes him a warm smile, pulling Arthur away. The two got out of sight. 

With a sigh, Mozart closes the door behind him. His eyes darken as he turns back to her. 

“This-” his hand trails, ever so slowly unbuttoning the remainder of her blouse, “-is for my eyes, and my eyes only”. He pulls it off, dropping it on the marble floor.

As he presses her against the piano, he slides his thigh back between her legs, mouth traces hungrily against her jaw- nipping and grazing. She trembles beneath his touches, and her head tilts giving him full access. “No, not yet-” Mozart pants in between kisses “-not there”. He nips, tracing down from her neck, her collarbone, to the swell of her chest.

In one swift motion, he unlocks and tugs her bra off. His mouth closes over a taut nipple, sucking harshly and tugging. She moans. Hands threading in his hair, and head falling back. “Shi-ah!” Her hips involuntarily buck, firmly pressing against his erection.

He ran his fingers along the hem of her skirt, lifting it to caress and squeeze the back of her thighs. He looks up at her, voice low and eyes burning with desire, “May I?” 

She cups his flushed face in her hands, “my love, I am yours.”

He shifts and lifts her, half-sitting on the white and gold piano. He sinks down to his knees, and nuzzles his face into the inner side of her knee. Peppered nips and kisses travel inner thighs, riding her skirt up in the process. He tugs both her skirt and her underwear off- the tantalizing scent of her arousal goes straight to his core, driving him to the brink of insanity.

He hooks a leg over his shoulder and lightly blows on her soaked sex. She shivers from the tease, firmly gripping him by the hair, “Wolf, please-”, she begs for more.

More it shall be.

Before she can manage a full breath, his hot tongue deliberately glides across her glistening slit, and his lips close against her throbbing clit. With every pass, his tongue pushes in deeper past her lips, and his lapping, less sparing than the previous.

She shudders in his arms, moans growing frustratingly louder.

And with a bite that almost breaks flesh, she forces out a loud cry, causing her knees to buckle. Almost.

He catches her mouth in his, pushing his tongue in, almost instantly muffling her frustrated cry, while giving her a taste of her own arousal. Her hands fondle with his shirt, impatiently removing it. Then to his belt. As soon as she unbuckles it, he grabs her by the wrists and drapes her hands around his neck.

He slides one- two digits into her heat, groaning in her lips at how tight she was.

In and out, he slides and curls his fingers at a painstakingly slow tempo- Lagro.

Her hips jolted at the maestro’s touch. 

She nuzzles his neck, planting torrid kisses and lightly bites his ear lobe. She whispers between gasps, “Please-” 

“Please, what?” His voice low and husky, keeping the tempo but increasing the pressure.

“I need you” her hand slips down his chest, his taut abdomen, and to the distended area of his pants. Her warm hand palming his erection through the fabric.

“I know you do” He chuckles into her ear as he unbuttons his pants with his free hand, chucking them completely off.

He pulls his digits out of her and grabs her by the back of her knees, hooking her legs around his waist. He pulls her a little closer, and just a little over the edge of the piano. 

He guides his member, and rubs his head along her slick folds, teasing. He clings onto her hips, he lets out a near-silent moan as he sinks deep into her to begin a swift and harsh tempo.

Her back arches from the sheer pleasure. And her moans, louder and more erratic as her hips are in tempo to meet his, forcing her deeper and faster onto him.

His breathing grew heavy, muffling his growls into her neck. He feels her clutching him tighter as the familiar waves of pleasure build up in her. 

“Mein schatz,” he rumbles before kissing her hard. Slamming in deeper and faster, “hold on tight.”

She screams and her head falls back as she goes over the edge. He follows her only a few seconds later, pounding her deep, and grinding her against the piano as they ride the waves of ecstasy.

Still trembling, she pulls her head back, stares at him and cups his face in the palms of her hands.

His silver hair disheveled by her own hands, now shines as he basks under the moonlight. And his usual stoic eyes, now dark with lust and desire. 

“God, I love you.” she barely whispers through her strained voice.

He intertwines her hands in his, taking it to his lips and kissing them both as he murmurs and groans,

“God knows I love you too”

He brings her hands to her side and plants a kiss on her lips and gazes deep into her eyes, “- I love you more than anything.”

But just when she thought it was over, his hips started thrusting again- this time, slow and deep.

She trembles and whines with every pound, throwing her head back again, feeling the aftershocks of the climax build into a new wave of pleasure. 

“Ah!”

His breathing is heavy. He leans in and buries his face between her neck and shoulder blade. Trailing it with nips, and grazing it ever so lightly with his fangs. 

And just before she could call out his name, his fangs break her skin.

Her hands frantically grip the edge of the piano as he sucks greedily, muffling his moans on her skin. Waves of hot pleasure rush through her, leaving her numb and trembling in broken moans as he pumps into her.

He releases his bite just before he loses control, and pulls his now softening member out of her.

He cups his hands on her face, caressing her cheeks with his fingers. She limply trembles beneath his touch.

"Have you learned your lesson, meine liebe?”

She places her arms over his shoulders, clasping them behind his neck, “Well, that was uncalled for.”

She chuckles then plants a kiss on his forehead. “You know, maybe I haven’t?”

He lifts her off the piano, picks up her blouse, and wraps it around her shoulders.

“How stubborn can you get?”

Book Recs

Hello! so for my first post, I'll recommend some books, so y'all can have a closer look at some fandoms I'll post about! enjoy!!

1.  

Harry Potter By J.K. Rowling is definitely an interesting, well-written series! there are 7 books however, and the books get bigger as the series progresses. It's sometimes difficult to know the exact order, so I'll list it below:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Although the movies are great, they don't include all the amazing details, as with all movies. A short summary:

Harry Potter, a young boy who’s being constantly abused by his uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia, gets a peculiar letter from the magical school of Hogwarts, where he spends most of his time, becoming his home.

Quotes:

“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." ― Albus Dumbledore

“You’re just as sane as I am" - Luna Lovegood

“Mischief managed" - Fred and George Weasley

It is Important to know that j*r is a huge transphobe, along with other things, and is currently being erased by the fandom itself.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, along with the other series by Rick Riordan, is a definite must-read. With each book, you can really notice the character developments and a lot more! There is loads of representation in this one, with lgbtqia+ characters, black characters, Muslim characters and more. It's very action-packed and addicting, sucking you into the magnificent world of Half-Bloods and Demigods within the first page. The first series consists of 5 books, in the following order:

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse

Percy Jackson and the Battle of The Labyrinth

Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian

THE MOVIES ARE TRASH SO I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND WATCHING THEM BEFORE READING THE BOOKS!!! There were many changes and the movies aren't nearly as good as the books. A short summary:

Percy Jackson, a 12 year-old who lives with his mother, Sally, and step-father, Gabe, attends the private boarding school Yancy Academy. While on a school trip, his teacher, Mrs. Dodds, turns into a fury and attacks him. This, in turn, triggers a series of other problems and adventures.

Quotes:

“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.” - Percy Jackson

“With great power, comes great need to nap. Wake me up later." - Nico Di Angelo

“Even strength has to bow down to wisdom sometimes." - Annabeth Chase

3.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is one of my most recommended series! With everything it deals with, from the Capitol to the districts to the champions, the books are amazing! 

Order:

The Hunger Games

Catching Fire

Mockingjay

Starring the movies is the amazing Jennifer Lawrence, but with all books, the movies have slight differences, although I definitely recommend watching them when you're done with the books.

A Short Summary:

In what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love.

(FILM SYNOPSIS)

Quotes:

"May the odds be ever in your favor." - Effie Trinket

"Fire is catching, and if we burn, you burn with us!" - Katniss Everdeen

“Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.” - President Snow

4.

Divergent is another book with a huge fandom, and rightfully so. This book is amazing, and you honestly can't live without having read it!

Order:

Divergent

Insurgent

Allegiant 

Surprisingly, I haven't watched the movies yet, but I hear that they aren’t that bad, so you should give them a go!

Summary:

In a world run by fictional classes known as factions, children who reach the age of 16 begin to choose which factions they wish to call home for the rest of their lives. Each faction comes with its own ups and downs, so it's definitely a hard choice, especially for someone as unique as Beatrice.

Quotes:

“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it“ - Four

“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.” - Dauntless Motto

"We are not the same. But we are, somehow, one." - Tris

5. 

You might have heard of this series, and it's really addictive, trust me! The Mortal Instruments is one of the most astonishing books I've ever read, and it's most definitely my go-to when recommending a book series!

Order:

City of Bones

City of Ashes

City of Glass

City of Fallen Angels

City of Lost Souls

City of Heavenly Fire

Again, (I know this is rather disappointing) I haven't watched the movies, but do check them out!

Summary:

Clary Fray's search for her missing mother leads her into an alternate New York called Downworld, filled with mysterious faeries, hard-partying warlocks, not-what-they-seem vampires, an army of werewolves, and the demons who want to destroy it all.

Quotes:

“Heroes aren't always the ones who win. They're the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don't give up. That's what makes them heroes.” - Clary Fairchild

“If I cannot move Heaven, I will raise Hell.” - Sebastion Morgenstern

“The descent into Hell is easy.” - Motto of the Nephilim

6.

Gay. What more needs to be said?

SADLY, there isn't a movie yet, but I think they're working on one, or sure though

Summary:

Set in a world in which a female Democrat from Texas wins the presidency in 2016, Red, White & Royal Blue chronicles the illicit romance between the president's son, Georgetown senior Alex Claremont-Diaz (Dad is a Mexican-American senator), and Prince Henry of Wales, his childhood nemesis.

Also, classic enemies-friends-lovers arc and honestly it's amazing

Quotes:

“As your mother, I can appreciate that maybe this isn’t your fault, but as the president, all I want is to have the CIA fake your death and ride the dead-kid sympathy into a second term.” - Ellen Claremont 

" 'that’s because you can’t hear all the menacing gobbling.' 'Yes, famously the most sinister of all animal sounds, the gobble.' " - Harry and Alex

"History, huh? Bet we could make some." - Alex

7.

I’m sure you've heard at least a little bit about this book. While not nearly as famous as ones mentioned above, it's still just as good, of not better. I'd say this book is one of my favorites, to be honest. It speaks about a lot of topics people usually find disturbing, and it makes me so happy that it's there, it's written, it's amazing. PTSD, coming out issues, abusive relationships and more, this book is truly awesome.

TRIGGER WARNING 

Summary:

A young boy named Charlie usually dissociates, and pushes other people away. He’s afraid of beginning high school, until he meets two other students who show him how bizarre and amazing the world is.

Quotes:

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite” - Charlie

“We accept the love we think we deserve” - Mr. Anderson

“You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love" - Sam

8. 

This book is honestly pro-feminist and I think that's much more than enough

Summary:

Kaur explores the true impact of sexual abuse and harassment, as well as the difficulties of immigrating, being a female, and depression.

It's also a poem

TRIGGER WARNING

Quotes:

“what is stronger

than the human heart

which shatters over and over

and still lives”

“you do not just wake up and become the butterfly 

- growth is a process”

“on the last day of love

my heart cracked inside my body"

9.

This book isn't very well-known, which really sucks because I really love how it speaks about the consequences of WWII from the German point of view. And about the Germans who did not believe in Hitler's ways. It's also based on a real story, and it's so cool

Summary: 

A nurse working in a nursing home meets a peculiar old lady who decides to tell her her story when she meets the nurse's younger son, Karl, who reminded her of her brother. Lizzie (the old lady) speaks about life in Dresden before the war, and even after it. She also tells them the story about the strange, magnificent elephant in her garden.

Quotes:

“That was the only way of keeping our hopes alive, by looking beyond all we were seeing around us, and the shadow of disaster that hung over us.” - 

“I think I have always had a strong sense of justice, of fair play, of what is right and what is wrong.” - 

“Our home should be an oasis of peace and harmony for us in a troubled world.” - Lizzie (Quoting Papi)

10.

This book is pro-blm and it's ahead of its time (by like 2 years but still). 

Summary:

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. via: https://socialjusticebooks.org/the-hate-u-give/#:~:text=Sixteen%2Dyear%2Dold%20Starr%20Carter,hands%20of%20a%20police%20officer.

Quotes:

“Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.” - Lisa

“Daddy once told me there’s a rage passed down to every black man from his ancestors, born the moment they couldn’t stop the slave masters from hurting their families. Daddy also said there’s nothing more dangerous than when that rage is activated.” - Starr

“Everybody wants to talk about how Khalil died,” I say. “But this isn’t about how Khalil died. It’s about the fact that he lived. His life mattered. Khalil lived!” I look at the cops again. “You hear me? Khalil lived!” - Starr

My Wayhaven Chronicles Playlist  - Adam

In no particular order, here are the songs I have on my playlist so far & a quick snippet why:

Alabama Shakes - This Feeling “Please don't take this feeling I have found at last” -What’s going through Laura’s mind as Murphy exposits above her. She’s finally found someone after being lonely for so long. Please let her live so she can have just this one thing. 

The Civil Wars - Dust to Dust -Virtually every lyric in this song.  Laura had a lonely childhood, essentially raising herself while Rebecca escaped into her work.  Adam has also been lonely, for other reasons. The song acknowledges there are obstacles between them, but also embraces the hope that they can be removed.

Lissie - Everywhere I Go “Danger will follow me now, everywhere I go” -The melancholy tune fits Laura’s depression following the traumatic encounter with Murphy & now the fact that she’s got a bounty on her.  Beneath her attempts at remaining stoic, she fears deeply for the safety of those around her as well as herself.

Sleeping At Last - Two “I know exactly how the rule goes: put my mask on first. No, I don't want to talk about myself, tell me where it hurts. I just want to build you up, build you up, ‘til you're good as new. And maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too” -This could be either Adam or Laura talking- who knows?

Seafret - Oceans “We hide our emotions under the surface and try to pretend, but it feels like there's oceans between you and me. I want you, and I always will” -The vocals on this track are out of this world, perfectly portraying the longing and desperation behind the words.

The Civil Wars - Poison & Wine “I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back” -I think this one is on everyone’s playlist for Adam as it’s a pretty obvious choice. Copying the lyrics doesn’t give this duet justice.

City & Colour - Constant Knot “A classic case I suppose, a haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts- They're in my skin and my bones.” -Dallas Green is one of my all time favorite musicians.  This song came on my shuffle 2 days ago & I thought “OMG that is SO Adam”

Geographer - Think About You “You were so young, with wide eyes. And I don't want to keep you from your life, but you are all that I have ever wanted to find” -This one gets tossed around between Morgan & Adam’s playlist. An admission of attachment on their part, with a healthy bit of hesitation and a dash of words left unspoken. Some of these songs do mention youth, which I find fitting- especially if the Detective’s mortality is part of why the vampires hesitate to acknowledge their feelings.

Joseph - Green Eyes “ If we're headed for the cliffside I'm ready for the fall” -I’ve shared this one before. Joseph is a new-to-me artist & the lyrics were a no brainer, fitting not only perfectly with Adam’s eyes, but dropping a line reminiscent of Sonja’s reading for Adam in Book 2 & portraying Laura’s stubborn love.

Sleeping At Last - Atlantic -This is a purely instrumental piece. I like to pair this song with the fireworks scene at the end of Book 2. It’s a bittersweet melody full of hope, happiness and fulfillment.  Perfect for a budding romance!

Vance Joy - Wasted Time “Well I don't think she knows how she changed all my plans The things that I thought would last, well they're fading. The feelings I used to have they're changing, they're changing ” -I love finding songs that I feel fit Adam’s perspective on things

Sleeping At Last - Eight -Can you tell which album is my favorite? (Fun fact: this musical project started in my hometown!) This is another Adam song, describing his origin, motives, and how his relationship with Laura makes him stronger.

Sarah McLachlan - I Love You “Every time I'm close to you, there's too much I can't say and you just walk away” -Seriously give this one a listen. It came up in a shuffle too and just knocked my socks off. Every time Adam appears, Laura unconsciously smiles- a fact that hasn’t escaped Farrah at all.

Donovan Woods - I Ain’t Ever Loved No One “And when I said I loved you, I didn't care if you said it back ” -Another sweet duet, but a song that’s a little quick to the draw considering the point their relationship is at this point in the books.  I like the imagery of them finally coming out as a couple to their respective “families” & everyone just being like “I knew it!”

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

And that’s all I have for now! Thanks for reading all of this! I’m in a writing mood with very little creative juice, basically Wayhaven is all I have keeping me going right now...

I’m not sure if this will work, but here is a link so you can listen to my (Amazon music) playlist.  Please share yours as well- I would love to see what everyone else has to listen to!

I know no one asked but I wanted to make a list of my top ten favorite book series to see if I can finally make friends that know about some of the more unknown series

1.Harry potter

This was the first full length book series I ever read.  Back when I was young and in fourth grade I hated reading nothing seemed to keep my interest that is until my mom sat me down and forced me to read the first harry potter book so I could get my reading time in for school and that book single handedly ignited my love for reading also to my fellow potterheads reading this who want to know: I’m a slytherpuff 

2.A court of thorns and roses

I read this trilogy last year and loved it Feyre was the first character I had seen who looked like me the only character I have seen who was described with a near bronze hair color and blue grey eyes. That and the series had the proper amount of twists to keep my adhd brain captivated for longer then 15 minutes.

3. House of Night

Gods this series was and still is the longest series I’ve read it also gave me a series that gave a protagonist who believed in something similar to wicca which was a relief for my little baby witch self

4.Vampire Academy

This is like the other side of House of night they have a rather similar concept and I honestly adore both. Rose was one of the first female characters who I felt I could relate to because at the time a lot of female protagonists were Bella like or the perfect mary sues so Rose being so short tempered and flawed was great for my little middle school edgy bean heart

5.Throne of Glass

Yes this lower then ACOTAR but that’s mainly due to how many books it takes for the original plot point to take off It takes roughly three to four books(cant remember exactly) for the king to be defeated it just felt a bit slow but its still really good yet another female protagonist who’s a smart ass

6.Percy Jackson/Heros of olympus

Yes I’m gonna get shit for putting it this low but I read this in middles school and was a edgy little shit so Nico being gay threw me for a loop this series isnt low because of the books themselves but because of the cringey ass memories they bring up

7.Darkest powers

This was my third series ever and once again my edgy little heart loved it I’m a sucker for supernatural teens. But I do admit after reading some of the authors other works I realized how weak the series is compared to the rest you can tell the author isnt used to writing for teens still remember this series fondly

8.The Mortal instruments

Dear gods this series was long and the tv series ruined a lot of what I enjoyed about the series I liked some aspects like the demon types and runes but honestly the author doesnt know how to write teens considering Clary was fucking 16 in the first book and Jace is also 16 where the hell is their teenage stupidity? So yeah thats why its so low the teens dont act in even close to a real teen i know its a supernatural series but both house of night and vampire academy have the teens act like teens so its not that hard

9.Twilight

yes this series sucks but honestly at least the story isnt as contrived as the last entry that and I read the whole series in 5th grade so I thought it was the best thing ever written boy was I wrong but it honestly isnt the shit everyone claims it is though there are fucking confusing plot holes like: If humans cant even damage the vampires why is their existence hidden???

10. The red queen

Gods damn I hate this series so much to the point I read the last book and thought I missed a book or two cause the 2nd and 3rd books werent interesting enough for me to remember more then a few plot points the first book’s plot should have spanned one and a half books and the Maven twist should have been brought in half way through book two and spread through that cause Maven being the antag felt rushed also its ok to have a protag thats unlikeable is fine as long theres at least one thing that makes the readers like them Mare has none of that to the point if anything happened to her I didnt care at all she could have died and I probably would have cheered for how much I gave a shit about her. Sorry for the ranting but I do not understand how many people praise this series with how many many many flaws it has in character portrayal and pacing,

Imperfect and inhuman, are we?

Fandom: School of Rock: The Musical (AU Verse) Chapters: 1/? Pairing: Dewey Finn x OC (Magdalena Newton) The Players: Dewey Finn, Magdalena Newton, Ned Schneebly, The School of Rock Students Word Count: 1,978 Warnings: M for Future Things

Notes: Y’all remember when I said I was going to play in in the Dewey Finn + vampire universe? WELL...here we go. Trying out a new “free-form” scene by scene chapter format, rather than a standard chronological order. We’ll see how this plays out

Chapter 1 - Night - Routine

The alarm went off at precisely 8:14pm.

From under the massive pile of blankets covering the twin-sized bed, an arm slithered out, feeling along the nightstand in the dark. The vibrations from the cellphone led the fingers toward their goal, tapping the screen - a few misses - before the noise finally ceased. Finished with its task, the arm retreated under the blankets, tucking itself inward like a snake retreating to its den.

At 8:17pm, the alarm went off again.

This time, an entire body followed the arm out of the blankets, turning off the alarm with one hand, and turning on a small desk lamp with the other. With a wide yawn, they stumbled out of bed, shuffling along the carpeted floor until they reached the bathroom. Luckily, this room had an automatic light fixture, the space filling with a soft white glow. Another automatic feature kicked on around the same time; a TV screen built-in to the vanity mirror taking up most of the wall. At once, the familiar voice of the weather channel anchor echoed around the tiled bathroom.

Magdalena Newton looked a mess when she woke up.

Her only saving grace was the fact she had the forethought to plait her long hair into a braid every night, or else she would have to deal with a rat’s nest besides the general unkept-ness of her appearance first thing in the morning. Absently, she untied the ribbon in her oil-black hair, watching the weatherman as she started to untangle the strands.

Sunrise was at 6:28am that morning; a good amount of time to take care of her errands.

Magdalena tapped the center of her vanity mirror and another screen snapped to life, along with some ring lights attached to a small camera. Within a few seconds, she could see herself in the mirror’s surface, as clear as though she were looking in the actual glass.

Technology was a marvel.

Her reflection was always such a strange thing to look at, to be honest. There were moments it didn’t seem like she was the one looking back at herself, only recently getting the ability to see herself within the past few decades. It was centuries before she could recall what she truly looked like, relying only on a painted portrait or a lover’s descriptions.

Both of which were never accurate.

Wincing at her haggard appearance, Magdalena started to work on fixing herself up for the night. No use going out looking like you just rolled out of bed… even if it were true. She was raised to be a proper lady when in view of other people, and that took some care and effort on her part. Besides, one never knows who you might see wandering the streets so late at night, or whom you might be looking for.

—

Was it just him, or did the sliding door of his van sound louder when it was dark outside?

Checking his watch in the circular beam of the streetlamp, it was just around 9:00pm when he parked his van outside of his apartment building, sliding open the door to start moving equipment from the vehicle to the home. It had been another late-night practice session at the concert venue with his students, which meant he had spent the last hour or so of practice getting berated by parents for keeping their kids so late.

The gods of rock care not for simple mortal concepts like time. Or calling parents in advance. Or responding to the last 15 text messages you got.

Eh, he knew they would shut up about it once they saw all the hard work the kids were putting into the show. It was shaping up to be quite the epic mid-summer concert spectacular he had seen in his dreams. The uptight little bastards were really doing him proud.

Dewey Finn stuck the handle of his guitar case between his teeth, trying to balance the bottom half with his knee, and simultaneously grab his satchel from under the front seat. It was a good idea, in theory, had it not been for the fact that the angle of the guitar case was preventing him from reaching into the van. He wasn’t about to set his prized guitar case on the street, nor did he feel like making two trips up and down the building’s stairwell.

He lost count of how many times he had sent angry emails to the supervisor about the busted elevator, only to be told it would “take some time” because it was a “historic building”.

Historic was a polite word for collapsing at any given moment.

Dewey couldn’t complain too much, all things considered; the apartment’s mysterious landlord company gave him a break on the rent due to him using the space for education. Apparently, whoever own the place was a fan of music, which gave them an upgrade in the landlord scale from Hell spawn to Minor Annoyance.

Shifting his weight to keep the guitar case balanced, Dewey tried again to reach the satchel, muttering a slew of curses with a mouthful of leather handle.

—

Magdalena heard the van door before she even rounded the corner, which made her take pause during her speedy trek down the sidewalk. Pulling out her phone, she checked the time: 9:07pm. He was a little earlier than she anticipated, putting a significant kink in her plans for that evening.

For the two and a half weeks, she had clocked him arriving at his apartment no earlier than 9:39pm, which would leave her plenty of time to scale the fire escape until she reached his floor. Nothing scandalous ever happened during her vigils; she was more than content to listen to the sounds of life from his apartment. His weighty footsteps padding around the creaky floors, rummaging around for something to eat, playing video games late into the night. Speaking with other people either in person or on the telephone.

And her favorite hobby of his: singing.

Was it still considered voyeurism if one didn’t actually look at their object of affection? Listening was more than enough. Hearing him plunk out little tunes on his guitar and sing classic rock ballads were something she could have listened to all night if she had the opportunity. She would risk staying out beyond daybreak if he had stayed up all night singing; her own private concert, and he didn’t even know anyone was listening.

For now.

Still, she was debating if it was too early to introduce herself. What is in doing so, she was committing a grave miscalculation of her plans and would therefore have to resort to… unpleasant measures? What if he didn’t want to know her? What if he ended up not liking what he found out?

What if it was something mundane: she wasn’t the right type? The right build or height? The right gender? He hadn’t brought anyone into his apartment save his friend - Nathan? Nolan? - that she could tell. However, his daytime activities were as of yet a mystery, which could have meant this entire plan would end in utter disaster if he were spoken for.

Nope. There was no use thinking the worst of things without even making an attempt.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

—

The more he struggled, the more his jaw began to ache.

Dewey was stubborn more than anything, which his best friend Ned always pointed out just how illogical it was for him to be such a damn slacker 90% of the time when he would get into his hellbent fits of motivation. He was going to make it up the stairs in one go, and he wasn’t going to make a fool of himself doing it.

Such delusions of grandeur can only go so far before one’s hubris decided to take the driver’s seat.

Dewey’s jaw finally gave out, causing his guitar case to tip over across his knee and gain a bit of air before starting to fall to the dirty sidewalk below. The whole thing was like a slow-motion sequence in a movie; Dewey reaching out his hands, fumbling for purchase on the leather case, and ultimately sending it further away from him when he failed to grasp it tight.

Unable to watch the carnage, he screwed his eyes shut tight, waiting for the inevitable crashing of his precious instrument hitting cement-

-which never happened.

Cautiously opening one eye, he peeked out in the darkened space beyond the streetlight, seeing his guitar case being held oh so carefully by a pair of delicate hands. Fully opening his eyes, he followed those hands up their respective arms until he came face to face with his savior. A woman, about his height, stood next to his van with the case secure in her grip. It was hard to see her in the shadows, even more so with her face obscured by the neck of the guitar case.

“Clumsy.” The woman said, her voice clear and crisp in the still air.

Dewey was immediately taken aback by her speech, his overly sensitive musical ear picking up a mix of accents he couldn’t place, and a soft, rounded lisp near the front of her mouth. Within a few seconds, however, he was far more concerned with the welfare of his guitar, reaching out and gently taking the case from her.

“You… you saved Tawny from certain death. My precious axe. My baby.” He cradled the case like a small child, setting it down in the van with great care. “I was such a fool to treat you so carelessly.”

The woman tilted her head, “Tawny?”

“Tawny. Ya know, like the girl from the White Snake video? Only the hottest woman to ever dance on the hood of a car.” Dewey replied, “Not… not that it was her only quality.”

“Never met her, so I couldn’t say.” She replied, a bit of laughter lilting through her voice this time. “She was attractive though, no shame in saying it.”

Whirling around on his heels, Dewey finally turned his full attention to the woman, almost falling over into the passenger door of the van once he got a good view of her. He didn’t know what he expected, but it certainly wasn’t… her.

“Snow White” was the immediate image that popped into his head. She looked pale as a ghost in the dim shadows, with dark hair tied intricately with braided bits gathered into a low ponytail, and her bright blue eyes catching the light like some nocturnal creature. The stark difference between her skin and her inky hair, coupled with her all black ensemble gave her the appearance of a living black and white image. The only color visible in the darkness with a bright, robin’s egg blue scarf tied in a bow around her neck.

“Uhhh…. I… you… wow…” Dewey leaned against the van, trying to act casual. “I mean, w-what’s a girl like you doing on a sidewalk like this? It’s late for a casual urban hike.”

“Protecting defenseless musical instruments from certain death.” She mirrored his stance, placing a hand on her hip. “I moonlight as a vigilante.”

He nodded, holding out his hand in a friendly gesture, “Ah, well, consider me a grateful citizen oh Superhero- Lady- Ma’am. Wow- you know what? That was lame. I’m just gonna show myself out before I embarrass myself any further.”

Dewey started to take his hand away, but not before the woman took hold of it, shaking it with a firm grip, “All in a night’s work, fair citizen.”

The woman - reluctantly- let go of his hand, stepping around him and continuing her way down the sidewalk. As though finally discovering that: yes, he had a brain, and yes, he should use it immediately, Dewey jogged a couple paces to try and catch up to her. She stopped when she heard him approaching, which made him bump into her softly, having not anticipated the sudden pause.

After steadying himself, Dewey ran a hand through his hair awkwardly, “Listen. Maybe… maybe we can start over? Because this whole night is gonna keep me up for weeks if I don’t try and regain my dignity. I’m Dewey Finn.”

Laughing softly, though she covered her mouth delicately with the back of her hand, she nodded. “Fair enough, Dewey Finn. I’m Magdalena.”

          a  majority  of  claudia’s  feelings  towards  louis  are  loving .     as  she  says  in  canon ,  she  can  never  hate  him ,  even  knowing  how  he  participated  in  her  vampiric  creation .     she  grew  to  appreciate  him  over  time ,  as  he  spent  time  whispering  into  her  ear  truths  of  the  world  that  lestat  did  not .     from  him ,  she  learned  that  lestat’s  opinions  were  not  fact ,  that  there  was  room  within  the  family  to  question  and  to  believe  differently .     she  absorbed  less  of  his  innate  goodness  and  hesitance  than  perhaps  he  would  have  wanted ,  but  in  his  attempts  and  his  attentions  she  found  room  for  herself  to  grow ,  to  age  in  mind  if  not  in  body .     she  knows  that  he  thinks  of  her  as  a  child ,  for  the  entirety  of  her  life ,  but  somehow ,  she  finds  it  more  annoying  than  infuriating .     perhaps  some  of  that  stems  from  the  fact  that  she  knows  he’ll  do  just  about  anything  she  asks  of  him  --  if  she  insisted  that  he  stop  doing  any  of  his  behaviors ,  he  would  at  least  attempt  to ,  for  her  sake .     but  she’d  never  do  such  a  thing ,  because  she  fears  that  it  would  change  him  in  ways  he  could  not  return  from  ( case  and  point  :  after  he  turns  madeleine  at  her  demanding ,  he  says  that  he  killed  the  final  part  of  his  humanity  for  her  --  she  accepts  it  as  a  necessary  evil ,  but  she  also  hates  hurting  him  at  the  same  time )  .           but ,  of  course ,  there  are  some  parts  that  she  isn’t  quite  as  fond  of ,  even  in  her  favorite  person  in  the  world  --  for ,  although  she  cannot  hate  him ,  she  is  still  perfectly  equipped  to  hold  grudges  and  to  be  annoyed  with  him .     the  first ,  and  most  powerful  ( and  most  obvious )  :  his  hand  in  her  turning .     she  has  an  exceptionally  difficult  time  rationalizing  the  louis  that  must  have  once  existed  to  the  one  she’s  always  known ,  to  the  point  where  she  doesn’t  think  she’ll  ever  be  able  to  do  so ,  and  anger  stirs  inside  of  her  at  the  idea  of  the  man  she  knows  doing  what  he  did  to  her ,  to  a  small ,  dying  child  that  only  wanted  comfort .     it’s  probably  for  the  benefit  of  their  relationship  that  she  remembers  nothing  of  that  night  itself ,  nothing  of  the  paternal ,  comforting  embrace  he  had  been  giving  to  her  moments  before  he  lost  control  of  himself  --  that  might  not  have  been  a  memory  she  would  be  willing  to  forgive ,  if  she  had  it .     another  is  his  love  for  lestat  :  how  can  louis  love  a  man  such  as  he ?     ( we’ll  put  a   pin  in  that  until  lestat’s  section ,  don’t  worry ,  it’s  coming . )     but  that  one  is  mostly  mitigated  by  louis’  willingness  to  help  get  rid  of  lestat’s  ‘ body ’  after  his  murder  at  claudia’s  hands ,  brought  up  again  in  my  regeneration  verse ,  but  that  has  to  be  played  out  a  little  more  for  me  to  come  to  any  conclusions  about  that .     also ,  we  can’t  forget  about  the  iconic  line  that  louis’  evil  is  not being  willing  to  be  evil  --  and  it  infuriates  claudia  to  no  end .           the  long  and  short  of  it ,  though ,  is  that  claudia’s  love  for  louis  outweighs  any  of  the  wrongs  he’s  done  her ,  even  if  she  wishes  that  such  a  thing  were  different .     she  will  forgive  louis  any  transgression ,  any  mistake ,  any  slip - up  for  two  powerful  reasons  :  first ,  because  she’ll  love  him  until  the  ends  of  the  earth  and  beyond ;  second ,  because  she  knows  that  he’ll  do  the  same  with  her .

𝐿𝐸𝑆𝑇𝐴𝑇     𝐷𝐸     𝐿𝐼𝑂𝑁𝐶𝑂𝑈𝑅𝑇 .          her  despiséd  father ,  her  immortal  sire .

          claudia’s  love  of  lestat  manifested  mostly  in  her  early  ‘ childhood ’ .     he  was  the  one  of  her  fathers  who  was  capable  of  teaching  her  the  things  a  baby  vampire  needs  to  know  :  how  to  kill ,  when  to  stop ,  how  to  tone  it  down  around  humans .     he  introduced  her  to  fine  fabrics ,  to  tending  to  her  wild  curls ,  to  well - crafted  dolls  and  to  the  piano .     oh  god ,  the  piano  :  the  instrument  did  almost  as  much  to  hold  the  family  together  as  louis  did .     there  were  three  things  that  claudia  and  lestat  could  agree  upon  in  the  world  :  one ,  love  of  louis  ;  two ,  a  love  of  the  hunt  ;  three ,  joy  in  music .     most  of  her  early  nights  were  spent  with  lestat  one  way  or  the  other ,  finding  joy  in  their  shared  interests  and  in  the  happy  little  family  that  they  shared .     she  could  feel ,  could  sense  his  pride  in  her  abilities ,  and  such  pride  would  bring  upon  a  rush  of  warm  and  loving  feelings  from  within  her .     for  a  while ,  he  was  her  god  --  her  young  brain  put  him  on  a  pedestal ,  the  paragon  and  idol  of  everything  her  new  life  meant .     but ,  as  with  all  things ,  a  person  placed  upon  a  pedestal  is  damned  to  fall  from  it  one  day .

          the  seeds  of  hatred  were  sowed  early  on ,  and  weren’t ,  honestly ,  entirely  lestat’s  fault .     he  had  quickly  taken  the  role  of  the  disciplinarian ,  as  louis  either  couldn’t  or  wouldn’t  --  and ,  like  any  child  taken  to  task ,  a  small  part  of  claudia  began  to  resent  him  for  it .     especially as  her  mind  grew ,  expanded ,  matured ,  and  lestat’s  treatment  of  her  did  not .     she  constantly  felt  belittled  in  his  presence ,  reduced  to  what  she  had  not  been  in  years  --  and  it  felt  like  any  time  she  tried  to  snap  back  and  prove  her  age ,  it  ended  up  being  a  tantrum  ( on  both  sides )  .     the  breaking  point  came  as  he  refused  to  share  information  with  her ,  refused  to  take  her  into  the  vampiric  trust  that  she  assumed  had  already  been  shared  with  louis  --  it  felt  like  the  final  insult ,  the  last  nail  in  the  coffin ,  if  you  will .     she  would  never  be  considered  grown  up  enough  to  know  all  of  the  details ,  and  not  only  that ,  she  would  be  trapped  in  new  orleans  forever .     this  ‘ knowledge ’  lead  her  to  the  decision  that  she  had  been  taught  to  make since  her  vampiric  birth  :  to  cause  death .

          claudia’s  murder  of  her  father  was  premeditated ,  up  until  a  point .     she  knew  that  she  had  to  get  him  out  of  the  way ,  for  a  few  reasons  :  one ,  he  would  keep  her  and  louis  trapped  in  louisiana  for  the  rest  of  their  immortal  lives ,  never  to  set  them  free  or  let  them  meet  others ,  if  there  were  any .     two ,  she  was  tired  of  being  treated  as  the  child  she  appeared  to  be ,  and  she  would  never  trust  lestat  enough  to  change .     and  three  --  and  perhaps  the  most  shameful  truth  of  the  lot  --  she  worried  that  louis  loved  lestat  more  than  he  loved  her ,  and  that  he  would  never  leave  if  staying  was  an  option . . . so  she  had  to  make  it  no  longer  an  option .

          but  beneath  the  layers  of  anger ,  the  years  of  unspoken  words  and  the  wrong  ones  being  voiced ,  claudia  actually  does  have  love  for  lestat .     a  lot  of  her  hatred  comes  from  being  far  too  similar  to  him ,  in  understanding  some  of  his  reasoning  half  of  the  time  but  understanding  none  of  it  the  rest .     the  fact  that  she  knows  that  there  are  things  that  he  would  never  share ,  and  hating  him  for  the  fact  that  he  has  knowledge .

𝑂𝑁𝐸     𝐻𝐴𝑃𝑃𝑌     𝐹𝐴𝑀𝐼𝐿𝑌 .          the  little  clan  together ,  and  conclusion .

          being  the  linchpin  in  the  unholy  union  of  lestat  and  louis  was  a  burden  that  claudia  was  furious  to  have  to  bear .     does  she  love  them  both ,  in  her  own  way ?     yes ,  actually ,  she  does .     does  she  hate  them  both ,  in  her  own  way ?     sort  of !     claudia  definitely  lacks  the  skill  and  willingness  to  fully  explore  the  depth  of  her  own  feelings  towards  them  both .     and ,  honestly ,  she  finds  it  easier ,  less  objectionable ,  to  shove  all  of  her  hated  towards  lestat  and  all  of  her  love  towards  louis .     a  decent  amount  of  this  is  because  louis ,  from  the  get - go ,  hides  far  less  from  her  that  lestat  does ,  and  she  feels  more  trusted  and  grown - up  with  him .     with  louis ,  she  feels  less  like  she  was  created  as  a  tool ,  an  object  purchased  to  keep  one  trapped .     with  lestat ,  she  feels  the  freedom  in  being  able  to  kill  without  remorse ,  and  to  be  applauded  for  it .

          claudia  truly  is  half  of  each  of  her  fathers .     and  the  half  that  doesn’t  align  with  whichever  man  she’s  speaking  to  rails  against  him  and  his  choices .     she  has  the  self - control  of  louis ,  but  the  explosive  anger  of  lestat  --  a  dangerous  combination ,  that  can  result  in  such  premeditated  actions  as  the  attempted  murder  of  lestat .     in  a  better  world ,  she’d  be  able  to  balance  the  two ,  to  articulate  her  struggles  without  the  fear  of  being  belittled  or  misunderstood ,  but  claudia  never  lived  in  a  better  world .     she  made  do  with  the  one  that  she  was  given ,  making  the  choices  of  a  child  with  the  abilities  of  a  being  far  more  powerful .

Forgotten stories 2: From shadow hunter to Bald cuck (Mortal Instruments)

Alec signed as he was walking back from getting a snack to his room, and spotted jace coming back from his date and in tears. he was also in drenched pants and the stench of the piss someone ruined the taste and smell of his triple decker hogie sandwich. as the blond was home much earlier then expected, one had to assume the wet pants had something to do with it and Alec found himself mentally debating going and seeing what was wrong with the little crybaby or leaving him alone since Jace himself had clearly told him off and said he wasn't jace's daddy anymore. (the two had been in a bondage/ S & M nursery daddy and boi relationship that had amused many of the others but Jace himself had apparently gotten tried of soiling himself in bugling diapers and called it off.) Spotting Alec, jace whined loudly, then rushed over and practically tackled Alec, putting his sobbing face in the brunettes chest and knocking his sandwich to the floor. "No no, it's OK. not like i was gonna eat that." Alec grumbled softly, and then softly patting the sobbing dorks back. "ALEEEEECCC! it was Awful!" jace was sobbing and whimpering, and Alec was certain he was getting boogers all over his favorite shirt. "what happened,, as if i can't tell." Alec said, gently moving them toward his room. if he was going to have to be stuck with the little dork all night he wanted it in his room which had enchantments to cut down on the smell of certain things..which had proven useful when he let jace sleep in his room. (he'd also had enchantments put in Jaces room that amplify the effect of those same smells, meaning Jace's room could at times smell like a diaper pail.)

as the big baby calmed down enough he became to tell Alec how he'd met up with a boy from a bar, and they went and saw a movie together (Elmo vs. the teletubbies, part three) and the guy assumed that jace was just being quirky with the movie choice. After the movie they'd gone and picked up a 12 pack of bud, and then had gone back to the guys apartment for a quick little make out session before the main event. (alec had pointed out that Jace KNOWS that beer just goes right though him and due to his angel blood doesn't get him drunk, but Jace had just whined that he didn't wanna be rude.) sitting on the worn leather coach that the date had bragged was inherited from his grandfather, jace had felt himself getting crazy hot in the loins for the cutie, only to realize that he was getting hot, because he was starting to soak himself.

"So then the guy freaked out and yelled at me and called me a stupid diaper baby, so I smashed a beer bottle and cut up that stupid crotch and came home!" jace finished and sniffled, in just his soaked undies now and rubbing a eye as alec stripped him. "...well that was rude." alec said. "I know right? Like it was my fa-" "let me rephrase that. you were a naughty little boy who's in for it now,!" Alec said. "W-what!? But he yelled at ME!" "For pissing yourself like a god damn baby, yeah, and somehow you think he's in the wrong? you're gonna get put in proper clothing for a little spaz like you, then you're going to go over to his place with me and say sorry!" Jace huffed at that and stooped a foot, crossing his arms. "Not gonna and you can't make me!" Alec rolled his eyes at that and just reached for the hair brush as Jace's look of defiance turned to one of terror and the back of his undies, already piss stained, bloated out and a faint smell of shit filled the room. "...you know a cow could drop a deuce in here and the enchantments would cover it up? what the fuck have you been eating?" Alec asked. "...I like grilled cheese sandwiches but they don't like me." Jace whined. "..let's get you cleaned up, and dressed and then we'll visit this poor guy." "well uh..i don't remember his name. or where he lived.. or what he looked like!" Jace lied quickly. "I'm sure it'll all come back to you after a few minutes over my knee." "..Um..I uh..gosh it must of been a memory charm and somehow being back here cleared my head! I can tell you everything!" "amazing how that works. you're still getting a spanking for being a brat." "But thats not fairrrr!"

one quick and efficient shower later, Jace was being dried off by Alec and looking nervously at the hair brush and noming on a edge of the towel that was on his head. "Do..Do you hafa use the brush?" Jace finally asked, even though his cock was standing out at all 6 inches of it's stiff glory. "would you prefer I use the studded paddle? or got a wooden spoon?" Alec asked, noting with a smirk that despite the tremble and look of fear in the big babies eyes, and the fear in his voice.. jace's cock was twitching and drooling. "Nooo! Just your hand!" the Blond baby whined. "Hmmm..I'll make you a deal. I'll give you a hand spanking, but when we go you wear that pretty purple dress Isabelle got you. if you take the brush, sailor shorts and a sailor top with the hat. and if you take the paddle, Shortalls." Alec said with a smirk. "...I really hate you sometimes." "keeps our relationship interesting." Alec agreed. "ngggh..Not a freaking sissy.." Jace whined then looked thoughtful. "Make up your mind soon or you'll get both the brush and paddle, and then I'll put you in the dress." Alec said after 20 seconds. "Ah! Paddle!" the little diaper baby whined., then covered his mouth. smirking and tugging the whiny diaper bitch in for a forehead kissed, Alec chuckled. "no take backs."

before the spanking started, Alec made jace sit on a training potty (shaped like duck just to piss the little guy off) and used a spell to ensure that jace's bladder and bowels were cleared out before the spanking. he could always after all refill the brats guts, but this helped keep him from pissing all over the place or shitting everywhere. (the potty had been bought after the first spanking, so Alec knew what he was talking about.) with the sluices cleared so to speak, and Jace almost squirting out his loser milk five times as alec wiped his hole and cock clean, the blond brat was over his daddy doms lap. "...you know..you should go easy on me with the spanking." jace tried. "Oh?" Alec asked, tapping the paddle on the blonds bubble butt. "Y-yeah! see, you made me a helpless pants wetter so all of this tonight is kinda your fault." "mhmm..who begged who to spank them and put them in thick diapers where they belonged to start all of this?" alec asked. "...just saying is all." Jace huffed and closed his eyes. "well i predict the next thing you say is 'owwww daddy please spank me harder!'" alec smirked and brought the paddle down hard. and wouldn't you know it? He was right.

even with the ribbons he had tied around Jace's cock to keep the little bitch from spurting during his spanking, there was a puddle of pre on the floor that jace was currently laping up while on all fours, sobbing and moaning as he kept reaching behind himself to squeeze and fondle his tormented cheeks. Daddy meanwhile was laying out 4 thick diapers and then picking out a light tan pair of short all's and a white diaper shirt to go with. there was also a pair of white socks and a pair of tan sneakers,and to finish off the look there was a tan pacifier. "you better keep your cock under control brat or I'll bring out the clippers again." alec warned as he noted that Jace had been trying to low key work some of the ribbons off so he could FINALLY spurt out his load, his balls looking rather heavy and full. "Buh..but..I hate the head shaving!"  Jace whined and pouted. "...according to you you hate all of this and yet here we are. though if you think about it. going up to a guy who was ready to fuck you..diapered." whimper. "Dressed like a toddler." Louder whimper. "and with your cuck diaper baby hair cu-" was as far as Alec got as jace cried out and fired out streams of cum, howling in frustration as the ribbons kept him for getting the full benefit and when he went to reach down and stroke himself Alec was quickly there, holding his hands behind his back and kissing Jace's neck. "you're gonna look cute as a cue ball." he chuckled. "A-asshole." jace whined.

the hair cut hadn't taken too long, and jace whined and sobbed as his long blond locked were shaved off all while daddy hummed happy tunes. the big baby was in just his diapers as daddy didn't want the hair getting all over his other clothes, but kept mentioning how itchy and irritated the shaving was going to leave the boy alll night long and would playfully pinch and tease jace's nipples while bringing such facts up. after getting his head bald as a melon, and making Jace wave bye bye to his hair before he flushed it down the toilet, Alec had then gotten the big baby dressed up and put a little curse on the pacifier that Jace could only remove it from his mouth with permission from daddy, or if someone else removed it for him. with the oversized nipple pressing down on jace's touge this meant that A) the former blond, now cue ball was blissfully quiet for a change and B) was a very drooly baby as Jace got out the seasume street themed toddler leash and got it attached to jace. "Don't worry though buddy.. if you get soo red faced and humiliated that you end up cumming again, this time daddy won't punish you. he'll just point it out to everyoneeeee." alec promised and rubbed the top of jace's head. "Man, you craving grapefruit too or just me?" he asked, making the poor baby bitch look in the mirror. jace just drooled and sulked. 'Jesus Christ. lex luthor likely has more hair then me now.'

heading out onto the streets, it was late enough that they didn't run into alot of people, though those that they did either stared and laughed, or who muttered about freaks. they did have the misfortune to go by a pack of vampires who took one look at the ex blond shadow hunter who loved to torment them and they all burst out laughing, giving the pair safe passage as they joked that they didn't hurt widdle babies. getting to the apartment block with jason (the Scottish boy that jace had been flirting with lived,) jace whined and mumbled around the paci, or tried to and just made more spittle go down his chin and add to the damp stain on the front of his shortalls. "huh..maybe next time I'll add a drool bib." Alec chuckled and then buzzed Jason's apartment. "Don't even think about trying to run. the same curse i put on your paci? i put on your diapers. unless you wanna be stuck in the same diapers for a week.." Alec trailed off and jace whined..but stopped trying to pull away. "Hello?" came a voice over the intercom and alec put up a finger for jace to stay silent, not that the big baby could talk right now. "Hi, is this jason Moonshore?" alec asked. "aye, what be it to you?" came the boys voice. "I have someone here who wants to say sorry for eailer tonight, and is going pay for the damages to your furniture." alec said. "...who's this and what makes you think i want that crazy bugger back up in here?" jason asked, his voice filled with hostitly. "I'm his Daddy dom, and trust me, you'll never forgive yourself if you don't at least see this." alec said. "look, there's 100 bucks in cash in it for you, taken from baby jace's own private little fund he was saving away to use on a trip to Disneyland." alec added as jace went wide eyed. that motherfucker had gone into his room and musta broken up mr.oinky, his piggy bank! DICK MOVE! "...aye just know I'ma regret this." the scot said after about 15 seconds of silence and buzzed them in.

As jason opened his door he took one look at jace and burst out laughing, and shaking his head. "git off, this is some damn yank prank show is it?" he asked, poking his head out into the halls to look for cameras. "nope. just a total diaper wearing bottom bitch and the poor sucker who puts up with him. may we come in?" Alec asked. "I suppose so.." Jason said and looked down at the puffy waist of jace. "aye doubt he'll be leaking anymore in here t'night." he added with a grin and stepped aside. though as jace waddled past, eyes filling with tears and looking down at the carpet he handled off and swatted the big baby's puffy backside. "aye could get used to that." he mused. "Noted. I'm always looking for babysitters. " alec laughed. Popping the pacifier out of Jace's mouth alec smiled at the bald baby, and nodded to jason. "Is there something you'd like to say little man?" "...I'm sowwy fer making tinkles on yer couch den being a bwat." jace said babishly, then looked confused for a second before realizing that alec must of had a baby talk curse on the pacifire as well. "Pffft...Bwhahahaha! Oh god! this totally makes up for the pissy couch. and as long as ya fix it up, yer forgiven." Jason said and then patted the bald babies head. "Fank ku! Dada, I's said sowwy, we go home now?" jace asked, his cock throbbing in his diapers even as he was mortified. "Hmmm I dunno..I think we owe Jason a evening of hot steamy sex still. well, those of us who can control ourselfs." alec smirked. "aye, I was promised a night in paradise. and ye be looking mighty fine." the scot said and smiled at alec. "But..but what 'bot me!?" jace mewed and whined. "..do you have any toys or something the baby can play with while we fuck?" alec asked.

And so the night where Jace was gonna show that he could be a mature young man and not a little diaper baby ended with him sitting on the living room floor of the man he had intended to top, dressed like a toddler and making tinkles and poo's poo's in his diapers while playing with action figures..all while forced to listen to his daddy and new daddy moan and cry out as they fucked hard in the master bedroom.

The end

[oveliagirlhaditright]

If all of your favorite shippings from different fandoms had a movie night together (yes, shippings, I think that's way more fun!), who would show up (there is no limit) and how would it play out?

Oh my gosh. This is a hard, but fun question. LOL. Though I’m worried the answer will end up more boring than you’re hoping for, but let’s hope not.

I’ll also probably only limit this to my top top ships, because I have way too many. Though there will still be a lot here! Also, let’s just assume that everyone will get along for some reason, even though some of them would have reason not to.

So, SoKai’s there (from Kingdom Hearts). Because of course they are. And while Sora and Kairi really are there to watch the movie--and cuddle, because they’ve earned it--Sora can’t help talking to everyone throughout and trying to get to know them, because he’s just a sociable person like that. And Kairi mostly joins in with that. But because of this, they probably have people telling them to shut up during it. Though RokuShi, Namiku, and probably NeShiki come to their defense.

Roxas and Xion (KH) are super into the movie, because they’re still kind of amazed at the existence of films in general. Since they were essentially babies in the Organization, who knew nothing about life. And while they know more now--like when Roxas had those false memories in the Virtual Twilight Town--they’re still amazed by the simple things.

Riku and Naminé (KH)... Naminé is drawing, of course. Probably things from the film. And Riku is by her side, just happy that she’s happy. But he (aside from Buffy) is probably the one person on edge, judging everyone because he doesn’t think some things are right about some of these people Lawlight.

Yes, Light and L (Death Note) are there... And they’re probably bored of the movie. It’s not clever enough for them. They’d much rather watch some murder investigation and try and figure it out--also, can I say what a miracle it is that L ventured out in the first place?--and this is when Riku begins to get uncomfortable and Buffy probably says something like, “Okay, if I hear one more thing about murder, some serious slayage is about to occur.”

So... Bangel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). So, this is some happy-isa ending after Angel takes on Wolfram & Hart and doesn’t die. The curse is still a thing. But Buffy and Angel have decided to try and be together without it, since Buffy almost lost Angel. They’re happy to be together enjoying the movie, of course. And a lot of cuddling is happening. But not too much, because they can’t get too worked up. Because again: curse. Also, if they’re watching some crappy movie--which they probably are--Buffy pipes in every now and then to give the characters wittier lines than they actually had, and everyone actually appreciates her for that. Angel may also notice Naminé’s artwork, praise her for it, and begin drawing during the movie himself... He draws Buffy watching it, of course.

Jace and Clary from The Mortal Instruments. They’re doing more PDA than anyone... but still nothing too bad, that would anger most people. And Clary might have joined in on giving the characters better lines with Buffy. Buffy and Clary probably strike up a friendship. Jace is really the person annoying everyone during the film, because he can’t keep pointing out everyone’s stupid choices and the lack of logic... which is true, but come on my man.

Max and Logan from Dark Angel. So, bored with the movie--as I said above--L and Light begin trying to solve a case while everyone else is engrossed. Logan notices this and joins in as Eyes Only. He and L also become friends, when they realize how much they have in common... I want this to be a happy AU where Light isn’t Kira, or has been redeemed, but it’s probably not. And he’s now worrying that Logan could be a threat to him too, and probably plotting to kill him. Max somehow senses this and throws food at him, though she plays it subtle. Like, “Hey, stop making me waste good food to get you to stop glaring at my hubby.” Oh, and Max is making herself at home with all the food. Because our girl loves to eat, and to relax. She and L might get into a fight over the sweets, though. And our transgenic super-soldier girl would of course win.

Madoka and Homura from Madoka Magica. It’s probably at this point, that Homura also notices something is wrong with Light. And she wants to get Madoka away from this scene to protect her. Because of course she does. But Madoka turns her down. And for the most part, Homura will never do anything that Madoka doesn’t want her to do. Madoka probably is somewhere between bonding over drawing with Naminé and Angel, and asking if she can be friends with Buffy and Clary and try and say funny things, too. They agree, of course. So Homura is sandwiched between Madoka and all her new friends, and she really can’t complain about that at all.

Noctis and Luna from Final Fantasy XV are also snuggled together, and they write secret notes to each other during the whole thing. Because even though they’re now finally together in person, they’ve just sort of gotten used to communicating that way.

Zack and Aerith from Crisis Core are probably being disasters, who are trying to build a flower wagon while everyone else is watching a film. But, hey. That’s just them. Aerith also probably joins in on the ad-libbing the movie thing.

Meanwhile, Cloud and Tifa from Final Fantasy VII are really close to the screen--Cloud is in love with this movie--and Tifa is trying to help explain things to him. Why? Because On the Way to a Smile talks about how Cloud doesn’t even know some vegetables and fruits’ names, because he decided to try out for SOLDIER at a young age and then had his mind shattered because of Mako poisoning, trauma, etc. So... if they’re watching a movie about cooking or something, Cloud could seriously make a mistake like, “Oh, so they’re using sour cream for this baked good. I didn’t know you could do that. But I guess it makes sense.” Tifa - “No, Cloud. They’re using cream cheese.”

Neku and Shiki (The World Ends With You) are enjoying watching the movie close together. And Neku is quietly humming during a lot of the singing parts, which makes Shiki blush and her crush on Neku grow even stronger (he may even be singing to her). And no one cares, because Neku actually has a nice singing voice. During the film, Shiki might attempt to make clothes based on the main characters’ outfits, that everyone is then amazed by.

And maybe I’ll add Tidus and Yuna in from Final Fantasy X. Tidus is trying to convince Yuna to just have a good time with him and have fun watching the movie--and she wants to--but she also senses something is wrong. And is prepared to pull her pistols out to stop someone from doing someone heinous, or to perform a Sending if someone dies here... whichever comes first.

And what the heck, did I just write? LOL.

Some other pairings I love that weren’t featured here, because I didn’t know how to fit them in and this probably already has too many people: Zidane and Garnet from Final Fantasy IX, Percy and Annabeth from Percy Jackson, Will and Elizabeth from Pirates of the Caribbean, Raoul and Christine from Phantom of the Opera, Eren and Mikasa from Attack on Titan, Snow and Serah from Final Fantasy XIII, perhaps Clark and Lana from Smallville. And maybe even Yozora and Nameless Star from Verum Rex, even though them and Noctluna are cut from the same cloth, etc.:)

Thanks for such a fun ask!

City of Ashes Book Review

(The Mortal Instruments, Book #2) by Cassandra Clare

⭑⭑⭑.5 | Goodreads | CW: violence, betrayal, incest

Picking up where we left off in the first book trying to figure out what Valentine is up to, figuring out Clary’s relationship with Jace, figuring out Clary’s relationship with Simon, and finding a cure to Clary’s mother’s coma. All while trying not to be attacked by Downworlders and demons. More action begins when members of the Clave seem to turn on the Lightwoods.

What propelled me through this book was that I finally became attached to characters other than Simon. I was invested in their feelings as we began to follow more than just Clary’s 3rd-person POV. There was so much action and fighting in this book that was done so well that I was actually invested in who would win because the plot was constantly being progressed (whether it be for later in this book or eggs dropped for subsequent books). The characters really took charge of their decisions especially in regards to their personality. I was able to understand them as they battled love and friendship and friends and enemies so that, even if I thought their decisions were stupid, they made sense.

My main reason for giving this a half-star over four stars was because of the amount of time I took me to read during the school year. It drew me in enough to be invested in the plot but not enough for me to randomly pick it up throughout the day. But that isn’t exactly a reflection on how good the book is or Clare’s writing. It definitely wasn’t my favorite novel but it was better than the first, is making me want to continue the series, and has a bit more control than some people like to give Clare for this series in the larger world. A few specific things that I didn’t like though to be a bit concrete is the awkwardness of Jace and Clary’s incest love story. It makes me uncomfortable that they aren’t addressing the fact that incest is bad and gross period. Also, there are quite a bit of situations that have very childish reactions which is why I understand why people dislike teenage characters. You have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are young but it’s still annoying and unnecessary.

What stakes are raised throughout the novel are really what propel it forward. The plot twists had me reeling it was amazing to see things change so drastically over a page. They were often and intense that at times I wondered what would be left for the rest of the series but Clare always managed to find a way for situations to grow or resolve themselves. Gigantic plot points aren’t brought up and then neglected. For example, turning Simon into a vampire is such a huge plot point that it has to stay important and does. We don’t mention it and then move on like I’ve seen some fantasy novels do. With a novel as involved as this one is, that is very important to me to not get lost or confused.

If you enjoyed the first book in any capacity, you should continue the series. If you like love triangles and complicated love stories, you should continue the series. If you like action and battle and powerful enemies, you should continue the series.

Cassandra Clare

Cassandra Clare is one of the most popular and successful young adult authors of today, however, a huge percentage of her fans have no idea of her past where she was know more for her bullying than her writing. I started this as a post on my “You Should Know” instagram, but eventually it got way too big and I had to create a post for it as well.

Terms to Know

Big Name Fan

Or “BNF” is an old term mostly used during the early 2000s, before ff.net or AO3.

They were the biggest names in fandom, producing the most popular art or fanfics.

Getting on the wrong side of a BNF could lock you out from the entire fandom, as you would be blocked from any forum they (or they friends) moderated.

The Inner Circle

In the early 2000s the Harry Potter fandom was essentially ruled by the Inner Circle. 

Although most of the Inner Circle changed constantly due to fandom drama and scandals, one member stayed for almost it’s entire duration: Cassie Claire

ff.net

Fanfiction.net

One of the early and most popular sites for hosting fanfiction.

The Draco Trilogy

Draco Dormiens

Author’s Summary: When an accident in Potions class turns Harry into Draco and Draco into Harry, each is trapped playing the part of the other. Romance, mistaken identities, Really Cunning Plans, evil bake sales, a love triangle, and snogs galore.

Draco Sinister

Author’s Summary: When Hermione is kidnapped, Harry and Draco must team up to rescue her from a thousand-year-old evil that threatens the entire wizarding world. Cursed demon swords, love potions, time travel, dementors, flying dragons, Draco wears leather, and everybody dies at least once. Except when they don’t.

It is notable for being the source of the Draco in Leather Pants trope as well as the catalyst for the Cassandra Claire plagiarism wank.

Draco Veritas

Author’s Summary: The sequel to Draco Sinister, featuring winter at Hogwarts, snogging, Quidditch, mysterious things and Rhysenn Malfoy.

Why was the Trilogy so popular?

As most people in fandom probably know, there’s usually two subsets of shippers: gay and straight (please note that, back in the early 2000s, there was still a lot of homophobia, and the heterosexual ships were undeniably more popular for that reason).

Since The Draco Trilogy had both Draco/Hermione and a lot of Harry/Draco subtext, fans of both ships flocked to the fic.

The Plagiarism 

Although she’d done it all along, it wasn’t until the second fanfic, Draco Sinister, that fans began to catch on. What was “it?”

Cassie including a lot of quotations from other work. And I mean a LOT. She lifted entire conversations and paragraphs from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Black Adder, Red Dwarf, and Terry Pratchett. At first she didn’t even mention this “inspiration,” so everyone assumed that this wit was all hers.

Once she was called out, she put a standard disclaimer at the top of her work, which was worded to imply that she might have borrowed a few, small quotes here and there, not that she was taking paragraphs and scenes. When she was called out for her continued plagiarism she switched to claiming that she “forgot” what her sources were.

Finally a former fan called Avocado got tired of it and reported her to ff.net. Within a day her works were taken down.

Predictably the fandom melted down over this and accusations began to fly. Cassie used her status as a BNF to ban anyone mildly critical of her from any message board or mailing list. A friend of Cassie’s claimed to be a real life lawyer and harrassed young fans with seemingly legal threats. There are even threats of people calling the police in an early form of “swatting.” Cassie tried to get a “hater” kicked out of university for “hacking” her and a REAL lawyer had to be involved before Cassie admitting to making it all up.

After all that began to die down, as she was working on the third installment of the trilogy, Cassie began accusing her friend and fellow BNF, Aja, of plagiarizing her. When that failed to incite the anger she wanted against Aja, Cassie began to claim that Aja was posting leaked spoilers for the Draco Trilogy. This infighting between the two lead to the collapse of The Inner Circle.

Laptop Gate

Although the third part of the Trilogy wasn’t as popular as the first two, due to the plagiarism scandal, it still racked up a ton of views when she began posting it. So when there was a potential threat to the continuation of the saga, readers were horrified.

This potential threat was a break in and the loss of Cassie’s computer.

Almost immediately after the robbery was announced Cassie’s lawyer friend (who was also her roommate) popped up again. This time, they were raising money to replace the laptops of Cassie and her roommates that had been stolen in the break in. Any extra money from the fundraiser would go to some vaguely mentioned charity.

Divisive comments poured in.

Some people expressed frustration that more “meaningful” fundraisers (like someone who had lost everything in a fire) didn’t get anywhere near as much attention and support.

Fans were even less happy when no proof was provided of either the break in or the charitable donation of excess funds (which was reported to be over $10,000).

When called out they changed the subject and posted links to another fan that was also fundraising (although they never posted any charity before or after, even when asked to do so the lawyer friend claimed to be “too busy” to share a link).

Published Works

After enjoying her celebrity as the Queen of Fanfiction, it’s no surprise that Cassie decided to venture into actual, original published works.

Except they weren’t that original, because it’s Cassie and she really, really seems to like “borrowing” from herself and others.

Let’s start with some name changes

Cassie

Cassandra Claire (with an i) is her fanfiction name

Cassandra Clare (without an i) is her published name

You may be surprised by how well this name change suited her. For a long time, before exposes began to be posted, you could google her published name without finding out about her history in fandom. Additionally, some of her victims from her fanfic days read her published books without realizing who the author actually was (until they started to recognize the quotes and paragraphs that she’d lifted straight from her fanfiction)

Her Writing

“Mortal Instruments” is Cassie’s Ginny/Ron incest romance fanfiction.

“The Mortal Instruments” is Cassie’s published work, about two fake siblings who fall in love with each other.

Similarities to Harry Potter

Now I haven’t read Mortal Instruments or The Mortal Instruments so I’ll let someone who has read them both do some explaining:

When I opened the book, I knew that Clary was Ginny. Alec was Harry. Isabelle was Clare’s version of Blaise (who back then was not officially male or female, and could therefore be interpreted by fandom either way). Valentine was a strange mixture of Lucius and Voldemort. And Jace, of course, was undeniably Draco.

Jace is so Draco, in fact, that it’s impossible to see him as his own character. The way Clare characterizes Jace is the exact same way she characterized her Draco. They share lines (the ones she didn’t steal from Buffy, of course), they share nervous tics, they share appearances, and they even share memories. The second I read the scene in which Jace tells Clary the story about the boy and the falcon, I felt an unpleasant jolt of recognition: that story is one Draco tells in one of the Draco Trilogy installments. I couldn’t remember which one. I couldn’t even remember who Draco told it to (Harry? Ginny? Hermione?). But I knew it was if not word for word taken from her fanfiction, it was very, very close.

Yikes. That’s a lot of similarities.

The same person I quoted about went on to say that the fanfiction was still much better than her published work, and that she’d rather re-read the fanfic than the non-fanfic.

Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dark Hunters

Almost immediately after The Mortal Instruments (the non-fanfic one) became popular, Sherrilyn Kenyon slapped it with a lawsuit for copying her urban fantasy series, Dark Hunters.

Kenyon fans attacked Claire fans, Cassie’s history was brought to light, and Cassie got to pull out her favorite argument “you hate me because I’m Jewish.” Which is interesting, because I’ve been working on this for two weeks, and I only just learned that she’s Jewish when I read about her accusing others of anti-Semitism.

Now as Cassie apologists will tell you, Kenyon did ultimately lose that suit, but it’s really, really starting to get repetitive over here.

I’ll borrow a quote from Ryan Givens, “If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you’re the asshole.” Or in this case, maybe you’re the plagiarist.

Common Questions

Has Cassie apologized for this?

She did occasionally

Has Cassie changed?

My opinion is no. She’s not.

Let’s see, as the “Queen of YA Literature” she has:

used Copy Right strikes to prevent people from calling out problematic passages in her books

sent her fans after critics

posted a hilariously ironic blog about cyber bullying

attacked her OWN FANS because they didn’t like the ending of a book

currently complains about people posting her real name (which is Judith Rumelt, in case you wanted to know) despite her own history of publishing people’s actual phone numbers online

Calls critics anti-Semetic while having this quote in her book

Claims that she was threatened when someone called her friend an “ignorant duck” 

Loves Token Minorities

Wrote a questionable almost rape

My Thoughts

I don’t like Cassie.

I really don’t.

And look, I’m not saying that Cassie is a narcissist, but here’s a fun little saying called The Narcissist’s Prayer:

That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did… You deserved it.

Does any of that sound familiar, because it should. It’s basically Cassie’s text book responce of “avoid admitting fault until there’s too much proof, say I didn’t do it on purpose, blame someone else, claim to be the victim, find another person to accuse of drama.”

Now I’m going to again quote from ProblematicYA because I absolutely love their writing. In this quote, they’re talking about how all of Cassie’s books, even those set in different times or cities, follow the same pattern. Non-Shadowhunter meets Shadowhunter (who is basically Draco).

So what’s really my problem? My problem is the fact that Cassandra Clare is a marginally talented writer who has one story and one cast of characters up her sleeve, and yet somehow she’s sold millions and millions of books based on this. My problem is the fact that Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series was partially copied from her fanfiction trilogy, which copied a plethora of other authors, not even including J.K. Rowling, who provided her with the characters, premise, and setting for her beloved trilogy. My problem is the fact that Cassandra Clare is in the authorly equivalent of a time loop, and has come full circle. My problem is the fact that Cassandra Clare is, in essence, writing fanfiction of her own work, and it is getting published and she is getting paid bank for it, when other far more original and talented authors are getting absolutely nothing for their hard work. I may despise Stephenie Meyer and the world she’s created, but at least Twilight and its accompanying works are her own original product; at least she deserves to reap the benefits of the crazy fandom she’s inspired.

Look. I don’t believe in dredging up ancient history just to hurt people. Shit we did when we were teens shouldn’t be held against us as adults. People grow and change a lot from what they were as teens.

But bitch, you actually have to GROW AND CHANGE. And Cassie hasn’t.

Also, try actually apologizing for what you’ve done instead of silencing critics.

The 30 Day Fandom Challenge

So I have come to realize lately that I am a part of so many fandoms that I want to show them all some love somehow. So I am making up this little challenge and tagging someone to join me. What you do is you just answer the questions (and provide photos/gifs/etc if you want) for a different fandom every day.

Before I start....I challenge you @domsberto

Since Tumblr only lets you use 10 gifs/photos a post I will be using them sparingly.

Day One-

Shadowhunters/The Mortal Instruments

(Show & Books)

1) Favorite character: Simon Lewis

Reason: Simon is adorable dork with a heart of gold who will do anything for the people he cares about, literally going to Hell and back one time. He can be a spazz and ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time half the time but he is a beautiful soul and hopeless romantic who loves with his whole heart. He is also a good friend to have by your side. Simon is precious and I love him. 😍

2) Most relatable character: Tied between Simon Lewis and Raphael Santiago

Reason: I can relate to Simon because I too am a hopeless romantic, I ramble too much sometimes and I am full of useless pop culture trivia like my adorable little dork. Raphael, I can relate to, because he holds those he cares about close to the chest (especially Magnus and Ragnor) and would do anything for them (as proven in the books when he refused to kill Magnus and.....we will get to that later). He doesn't put up with bullshit and drama (which I also can't stand) and is not afraid to put someone in their place when they need it.

3) Most underrated character: Raphael Santiago

Reason: Raphael may have his faults but as far as characters go he is one of the best. He does so much for so many people and is often overlooked because of the happenings of the "main" characters in the series. Even his sacrifice in the books show just how loyal he is to certain people. He deserves more recognition and I'm here to give it to him.

4) Most overrated character: Clary Fray

Reason: Ok before all the Clary lovers come at me, please note that I don't hate Clary I just dislike some of her actions. While in the books she got better, she has still rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning. On the show she is very self centered and tends to get in the way more than she helps in fighting situations. She pushed boundaries and stuck her nose in things she had no business getting involved in. When Simon needed her, she ignored him (when he was turning) because she was so focused on her own agenda and don't even get me started on her romantic relationships with both Simon and Jace that bordered on toxic at times. She is one of the main characters but is overrated because she is so hyped up for being Little Miss Perfect when there are better characters in the series. I don't hate her, I actually like her....sometimes....but that's my opinion.

5) Least favorite character: Jordan Kyle

Reason: He is all kinds of shady and I didn't like the way he treated Maia and Simon at times.

6) Favorite canon pairing: Malec (Magnus Bane & Alec Lightwood)

Reason: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Magnus and Alec are the most beautiful couple to grace the fandom because they share a love so pure and so passionate that it surpasses what many people think of when they think about love. They have been through hell and back (literally) but still managed to come out stronger than before. They have an everlasting love that will never die and I stan them forever. They make each other better people, they support and defend each other, they hold each other up and it's beautiful.

7) Favorite non-canon pairing: Jimon (Jace Herondale & Simon Lewis)

Reason: First of all, this pairing should be canon and in my heart of hearts it is! Simon and Jace spent most of the series (books and TV) subtly flirting but never giving in like they should have. Simon and Jace went from fighting over the same girl to genuinely caring about one another and looking out for each other. They constantly touch and no matter how much Simon rambles, Jace always gives him the same fond heart eyed expression every time. I firmly believe that if these two ever just gave into the undeniable connection between the two of them that they would have a love for the ages that ranks up there with Malec. And in my heart, they are already there just too stubborn and blinded by other people to see the truth staring them in the face. I could go on forever about Jimon but I will end with they are my OTP (other than Malec) and I love them.

8) Least favorite pairing: Tied Climon (Simon & Clary) & Clace (Clary & Jace)

Reason: Both couples are better off as friends and are pretty toxic as far as romantic relationships go. Let's start with Climon. The entire time Clary and Simon were dating, Clary was still in love with Jace and didn't treat Simon right unless it was convenient for her. She basically lead him on, making him believe that she was all in and loved him the way that he loved her but that was never the case. It was the strength of their friendship that allowed them to move on after their heartbreaking breakup but things were never really ever the same between them. It took time before they could get back to the way things were before that horrible attempt at dating. As for Clace, they had an obsessive love. When they were together it was as if nothing or no one else mattered to either of them. Clary was constantly ignoring Simon and others in favor of spending time with Jace and Jace constantly broke rules for Clary and even acted questionably toward his own Parabatai to go along with whatever hairbrained scheme she came up with. Personally, they were better as friends than lovers and after the whole "You might be my sibling" fiasco, I can't look at them the same way anymore. They are not right for each other even though they are technically an endgame ship.

9) Favorite part/moment: Jace saves Simon from Valentine

Reason: When Jace glamoured himself to look like Clary in order to save Simon's life when he was being held captive by Valentine, he didn't have to go to the lengths he did to save someone he supposedly hated. Allowing Simon to drink from him changed the relationship between the two of them exponentially because it showed Simon just how much he actually cared about him. Even to the point that he was willing to die for him as seen in the aftermath scene where he admitted he would have let Simon kill him if it meant he could live. Tell me this isn't love for him to do what he did.

(Later in the book series when Simon lost his memories, one of the first things he remembered was this scene and Jace admitted actually liked it when Simon bit him.)

10) Least favorite part/moment: Sebastian kills Raphael (The Bane Chronicles)

Reason: Raphael dies! While his death was an honorable death by sacrificing himself to save the life of the man he had considered like a father to him since he was turned into vampire, I dislike this part the most because he shouldn't have had to die at all. It was a senseless and sad ending for one of my favorite characters and he deserved so much better. (Though his sacrifice was also sweet, it still hurts my soul he is gone. I sobbed like a baby)

There you have it folks! Day 1....stay tuned for Day 2...coming soon since I finished this after midnight and it's already day 2 lol
