#lullabies for the dallas boys

[small-sinclair]

This is just a thought before I go to bed:

Bo looks down at the crib, his twin boys sleeping peacefully. He tucks them in then leans down and kisses their heads. Both boys are health, born strong and health. Memphis and Dallas. Dallas and Memphis. His little rockstars.

“Sleep well, lil’ bells,” he whispers to them.

He moves from the crib to his daughter’s bed. He brushes her hair to the side, kisses her temple, and starts to leave when a little hand reaches up and catches his.

“Can Daddy stay?” Jasmine whispers, clinging to her stuffed bunny. “Please?”

Bo’s heart melts as he gave a tired smile. The bed creeks under him as he lays next to his daughter. He brings her close to his chest and kisses her head. Soon, he starts humming a lullaby and feels that she is asleep.

He looks down at her then at the stars he put on her ceiling. Bo closes his eyes and felt… felt relaxed.

“I promise ‘ll always love ya,” he whispers, kissing her head again. Bo looks up at the stars and smile.

He’s a father, and he’ll be the best one ever. His heart is filled with so much love for his children that his chest might explode.

Bo holds his daughter a bit closer and closes his eyes.

Operation Stumpy Re-Read

ADWD: The Dragontamer (Quentyn IV) [Chapter 68]

He stared at the candle for a long time, then put down his cup and held his palm above the flame. It took every bit of will he had to lower it until the fire touched his flesh, and when it did he snatched his hand back with a cry of pain.

"Quentyn, are you mad?"

No, just scared. I do not want to burn. "Gerris?"

I know someone who doesn't need this reminder.

"Men say that freezing to death is almost peaceful. Fire, though … do you see the candle, Gilly?"

She looked at the flame. "Yes."

"Touch it. Put your hand over the flame."

Her big brown eyes grew bigger still. She did not move.

"Do it." Kill the boy. "Now."

Trembling, the girl reached out her hand, held it well above the flickering candle flame.

"Down. Let it kiss you."

Gilly lowered her hand. An inch. Another. When the flame licked her flesh, she snatched her hand back and began to sob.

"Fire is a cruel way to die. Dalla died to give this child life, but you have nourished him, cherished him. You saved your own boy from the ice. Now save hers from the fire." - Jon II, ADWD

+.+.+

"I could not sleep."

"Are burns a cure for that? Some warm milk and a lullaby might serve you well. Or better still, I could take you to the Temple of the Graces and find a girl for you."

"A whore, you mean."

"They call them Graces. They come in different colors. The red ones are the only ones who fuck."

"If His Grace wishes for me to remove myself from court …"

"His Radiance," the seneschal corrected. - The Queensguard, ADWD

x

"Might I know which men His Grace has chosen to protect him?" - The Queensguard, ADWD

x

When His Grace had tried to put them under the command of a cousin, as he had the Brazen Beasts, Grey Worm had informed the king that they were free men who took commands only from their mother. - The Queensguard, ADWD

x

"May they defend His Grace against all threats." [...]

"His Magnificence," Reznak mo Reznak stressed. - The Queensguard, ADWD

x

"I am His Grace's to command."

"Not Grace," the seneschal complained. "That style is Westerosi. His Magnificence, His Radiance, His Worship." - The Queensguard, ADWD

x

"Your Grace," Ser Barristan called out.  - The Discarded Knight, ADWD

x

The box was his, though. His Grace made all the arrangements. - The Discarded Knight, ADWD

x

If His Grace needs a poisoner, he will look to you. - The Discarded Knight, ADWD

x

His Grace keeps two men by him when he sleeps. - The Kingbreaker, ADWD

x

"None, Your Grace."

Hizdahr sighed. "'Your Magnificence,' please. - The Kingbreaker, ADWD

x

"Dreams can lie, Your Grace."

"'Your Radiance' would serve. - The Kingbreaker, ADWD

x

"Where does the seneschal want His Grace to go?" - The Kingbreaker, ADWD

+.+.+

"I disagree. Daenerys Targaryen is not the only woman in the world. Do you want to die a man-maid?"

Quentyn did not want to die at all. I want to go back to Yronwood and kiss both of your sisters, marry Gwyneth Yronwood, watch her flower into beauty, have a child by her. I want to ride in tourneys, hawk and hunt, visit with my mother in Norvos, read some of those books my father sends me. I want Cletus and Will and Maester Kedry to be alive again. 

Well that was painful to read.

Go home, Quentyn.

+.+.+

"Do you think Daenerys would be pleased to hear that I had bedded some whore?"

"She might be. Men may be fond of maidens, but women like a man who knows what he's about in the bedchamber. It's another sort of swordplay. Takes training to be good at it."

Love that we're all thinking the exact same thing.

+.+.+

"You cannot marry her. She has a husband."

"She does not love Hizdahr zo Loraq."

Hey Quentyn, was Rhaegar any less married because he didn't love Elia?

+.+.+

"What has love to do with marriage? A prince should know better. Your father married for love, it's said. How much joy has he had of that?" Doran Martell and his Norvoshi wife had spent half their marriage apart and the other half arguing. It was the only rash thing his father had ever done, to hear some tell it, the only time he had followed his heart instead of his head, and he had lived to rue it. "Not all risks lead to ruin," he insisted.

Man, lately the author has been aggressively driving home the point about love being poison.

<- The Kingbreaker, ADWD

Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna, and thousands died for it. Daemon Blackfyre loved the first Daenerys, and rose in rebellion when denied her. Bittersteel and Bloodraven both loved Shiera Seastar, and the Seven Kingdoms bled. The Prince of Dragonflies loved Jenny of Oldstones so much he cast aside a crown, and Westeros paid the bride price in corpses. All three of the sons of the fifth Aegon had wed for love, in defiance of their father's wishes. And because that unlikely monarch had himself followed his heart when he chose his queen, he allowed his sons to have their way, making bitter enemies where he might have had fast friends. Treason and turmoil followed, as night follows day, ending at Summerhall in sorcery, fire, and grief.

Her love for Daario is poison. A slower poison than the locusts, but in the end as deadly. - The Kingbreaker, ADWD

I'm convinced! I bet he's as pessimistic about love as every bad guy in the story would have us believe.

+.+.+

"This is my duty. My destiny." You are supposed to be my friend, Gerris. Why must you mock my hopes? I have doubts enough without your throwing oil on the fire of my fear. "This will be my grand adventure."

"Men die on grand adventures."

He was not wrong. That was in the stories too. The hero sets out with his friends and companions, faces dangers, comes home triumphant. Only some of his companions don't return at all. The hero never dies, though. I must be the hero. 

In this story the princess rejects the frog prince, then the dragon burns him alive.

Adventure stank. - The Merchant's Man, ADWD

+.+.+

Quentyn sucked at the burned spot on his palm. "Dorne remembers Aegon and his sisters. Dragons are not so easily forgotten. They will remember Daenerys as well."

I don't doubt it.

+.+.+

"Not if she's died."

"She lives." She must. "She is lost, but I can find her." And when I do, she will look at me the way she looks at her sellsword. Once I have proven myself worthy of her.

"From dragonback?"

"I have been riding horses since I was six years old."

Mounted on the dragon's back, she oft felt as if she were learning to ride all over again. When she whipped her silver mare on her right flank the mare went left, for a horse's first instinct is to flee from danger. When she laid the whip across Drogon's right side he veered right, for a dragon's first instinct is always to attack. - Daenerys X, ADWD

+.+.+

"I'll hear no more of this. You have my leave to go. Find a ship and run home, Gerris." The prince rose, blew the candle out, and crept back to his bed and its sweat-soaked linen sheets. I should have kissed one of the Drinkwater twins, or maybe both of them. I should have kissed them whilst I could. I should have gone to Norvos to see my mother and the place that gave her birth, so she would know that I had not forgotten her.

He doesn't seem that confident to me.

+.+.+

He could hear the rain falling outside, drumming against the bricks.

By the time the hour of the wolf crept upon them, the rain was falling steadily, slashing down in a hard, cold torrent that would soon turn the brick streets of Meereen into rivers.

Oh good, rain usually foretells positive things in this series.

+.+.+

Fire and water don't mix, and that's a fact. You get a good cookfire lit, blazing away nice, then it starts to piss down rain and next thing your wood is sodden and your flames are dead.

Gerris chuckled. "Dragons are not made of wood, Arch."

"Some are. That old King Aegon, the randy one, he built wooden dragons to conquer us. That ended bad, though."

I find this exchange extremely odd. It sticks out.

+.+.+

They do not understand. They may be Dornish, but I am Dorne. Years from now, when I am dead, this will be the song they sing of me. He rose abruptly. "It's time."

Hun, you're not even the heir to Dorne.

Better hope that song doesn't provoke laughter.

+.+.+

Within were three long hooded cloaks made from myriad small squares of cloth sewn together, three cudgels, three shortswords, three masks of polished brass. A bull, a lion, and an ape.

Everything required to be a Brazen Beast.

Any thoughts on these animals?

+.+.+

"How did you learn their word ["dog"]?"

"We chanced upon some Brazen Beasts and Meris asked them prettily. But a prince should know better than to pose such questions, Dornish. In Pentos, we have a saying. Never ask the baker what went into the pie. Just eat."

Or Wyman Manderly.

+.+.+

"I'll be the bull," Arch announced.

Quentyn handed him the bull mask. "The lion for me."

"Which makes a monkey out of me." Gerris pressed the ape mask to his face. 

Remember in The Merchant's Son when Gerris and Quentyn changed roles?

I think they should change masks.

+.+.+

The quartered carcass of an ox filled the wagon bed, along with two dead sheep. Half a dozen men entered afoot. Five wore the cloaks and masks of Brazen Beasts, but Pretty Meris had not troubled to disguise herself. "Where is your lord?" he asked Meris.

The Windblown sellswords disguise themselves as Brazen Beasts to get to the dragons.

Quentyn seems rather nonchalant about the huge woman not bothering to disguise herself. What a pointless risk.

+.+.+

Ser Archibald was giving the butcher's wagon the sour eye. "Will that cart be big enough to hold a dragon?" he asked.

The plan is to get the dragons out of the pyramid by chaining them to a butcher's wagon.

There are no words to express how stupid this feels.

+.+.+

"We were told these beasts are smaller than the queen's monster."

"The pit has slowed their growth." Quentyn's readings had suggested that the same thing had occurred in the Seven Kingdoms. None of the dragons bred and raised in the Dragonpit of King's Landing had ever approached the size of Vhagar or Meraxes, much less that of the Black Dread, King Aegon's monster. "Have you brought sufficient chains?"

The queen's monster, lol.

Only a monster would give a living child to the flames. - Jon I, ADWD

I can't speak to the accuracy of this. Aren't there competing theories within the universe over why they shrunk?

+.+.+

Four Brazen Beasts stood guarding the door. Three held long spears; the fourth, the serjeant, was armed with short sword and dagger. His mask was wrought in the shape of a basilisk's head. The other three were masked as insects.

Locusts, Quentyn realized. "Dog," he said.

The serjeant stiffened.

That was all it took for Quentyn Martell to realize that something had gone awry. 

Déjà vu! Wrong word, Quentyn.

<- The Kingbreaker, ADWD

Six Brazen Beasts were with him. All were masked as insects, identical to one another.

Locusts, Selmy realized. "Groleo," he said.

+.+.+

The basilisk's blade had scarce slipped from its leather sheath when the hammer's spike slammed into his temple, crunching through the thin brass of his mask and the flesh and bone beneath. The serjeant staggered sideways half a step before his knees folded under him and he sank down to the floor, his whole body shaking grotesquely.

Quentyn stared transfixed, his belly roiling. His own blade was still in its sheath. He had not so much as reached for it. His eyes were locked on the serjeant dying before him, jerking. The fallen torch was on the floor, guttering, making every shadow leap and twist in a monstrous mockery of the dead man's shaking. The prince never saw the locust's spear coming toward him until Gerris slammed into him, knocking him aside. The spearpoint grazed the cheek of the lion's head he wore. Even then the blow was so violent it almost tore the mask off. It would have gone right through my throat, the prince thought, dazed.

Look, he's doing an Aegon!

The boy stood staring, as still as if he too were made of stone. His hand was on his sword hilt, but he seemed to have forgotten why. - Tyrion V, ADWD

And both will burn, isn't that cute? Cousins. ❤️

+.+.+

The dragons, Prince Quentyn thought. Yes. We came for the dragons. He felt as though he might be sick. What am I doing here? Father, why? Four men dead in as many heartbeats, and for what? "Fire and blood," he whispered, "blood and fire."

Almost like "fire and blood" will never be the answer.

+.+.+

He did not want to do this, but he saw no other way. Why else would Daenerys have shown me the dragons? She wants me to prove myself to her. 

Do you see how her thoughtless little test got us to this point? Stupid idiot (both of them).

Then he will die here, Daenerys thought, unless there is more to him than I can see. "Is he still within?"

"Drinking with his knights."

"Bring him to me. It is time he met my children." - Daenerys VII, ADWD

+.+.+

Gerris handed him a torch. He stepped through the doors.

We have a torch sighting!

"The flames will burn so long as you live," he heard Cersei call. "When they die, so must you." - Jaime VI, ADWD

+.+.+

Rhaegal was chained to the wall and floor the last time I was here, the prince recalled, but Viserion hung from the ceiling. Quentyn stepped back, lifted the torch, craned his head back.

For a moment he saw only the blackened arches of the bricks above, scorched by dragonflame. A trickle of ash caught his eye, betraying movement. Something pale, half-hidden, stirring. He's made himself a cave, the prince realized. A burrow in the brick. The foundations of the Great Pyramid of Meereen were massive and thick to support the weight of the huge structure overhead; even the interior walls were three times thicker than any castle's curtain walls. But Viserion had dug himself a hole in them with flame and claw, a hole big enough to sleep in.

Lots of people have speculated that Viserion is nesting, so he (?) may lay eggs. I'm not sure what the point of that would be.

Not to mention, as far as we know, Viserion is a male and they can't change their sex.

As Archmaester Gyldayn notes in his fragmentary history, there is no record that Vermax ever laid so much as a single egg, suggesting the dragon was male. The belief that dragons could change sex at need is erroneous, according to Maester Anson's Truth, rooted in a misunderstanding of the esoteric metaphor that Barth preferred when discussing the higher mysteries. - The World of Ice and Fire

Viserion (Daenerys) breaking his chains, and attempting to claw himself out is symbolic. It's not that deep.

"This one heard the Astapori scratching at the walls last night," the little scribe said as she was washing Dany's back.

Irri and Jhiqui exchanged a look. "No one was scratching," said Jhiqui. "Scratching … how could they scratch?"

"With their hands," said Missandei. "The bricks are old and crumbling. They are trying to claw their way into the city."

"This would take them many years," said Irri. "The walls are very thick. This is known."

"It is known," agreed Jhiqui.

"I dream of them as well." Dany took Missandei's hand. "The camp is a good half-mile from the city, my sweetling. No one was scratching at the walls." - Daenerys VI, ADWD

+.+.+

Viserion launched himself from the ceiling, pale leather wings unfolding, spreading wide. The broken chain dangling from his neck swung wildly. His flame lit the pit, pale gold shot through with red and orange, and the stale air exploded in a cloud of hot ash and sulfur as the white wings beat and beat again.

A hand seized Quentyn by the shoulder. The torch spun from his grip to bounce across the floor, then tumbled into the pit, still burning. He found himself face-to-face with a brass ape. Gerris. "Quent, this will not work. They are too wild, they …"

Oops, there goes Quentyn's torch.

Gerris is a good lad.

+.+.+

Last and longest the beast stared at Pretty Meris, sniffing. The woman, Quentyn realized. He knows that she is female. He is looking for Daenerys. He wants his mother and does not understand why she's not here.

Is that why the author hasn't disguised her?

+.+.+

When the Windblown were too late to get out of his way, Viserion let loose with another roar. Quentyn heard the rattle of chains, the deep thrum of a crossbow.

"No," he screamed, "no, don't, don't," but it was too late. The fool was all that he had time to think as the quarrel caromed off Viserion's neck to vanish in the gloom. A line of fire gleamed in its wake—dragon's blood, glowing gold and red.

The crossbowman was fumbling for another quarrel as the dragon's teeth closed around his neck. The man wore the mask of a Brazen Beast, the fearsome likeness of a tiger. As he dropped his weapon to try and pry apart Viserion's jaws, flame gouted from the tiger's mouth. The man's eyes burst with soft popping sounds, and the brass around them began to run. The dragon tore off a hunk of flesh, most of the sellsword's neck, then gulped it down as the burning corpse collapsed to the floor.

That's probably not great news for Volantis.

George saves his most stomach-churning writing for the dragons, it's great.

+.+.+

"Down," the prince commanded. You must not let him smell your fear. "Down, down, down." He brought the whip around and laid a lash across the dragon's face. Viserion hissed.

+.+.+

And then a hot wind buffeted him and he heard the sound of leathern wings and the air was full of ash and cinders and a monstrous roar went echoing off the scorched and blackened bricks and he could hear his friends shouting wildly. Gerris was calling out his name, over and over, and the big man was bellowing, "Behind you, behind you, behind you!"

Quentyn turned and threw his left arm across his face to shield his eyes from the furnace wind. Rhaegal, he reminded himself, the green one is Rhaegal.

When he raised his whip, he saw that the lash was burning. His hand as well. All of him, all of him was burning.

Oh, he thought. Then he began to scream.

We love Dragon x Other parallels!

It slid away from Paul's axe, armor rippling, and its crystal sword twisted and spun and slipped between the iron rings of Paul's mail, through leather and wool and bone and flesh. It came out his back with a hissssssssssss and Sam heard Paul say, "Oh," as he lost the axe. Impaled, his blood smoking around the sword, the big man tried to reach his killer with his hands and almost had before he fell. - Samwell I, ADWD

Thus concludes the story of Quentyn Martell.

If you spotted any reason why Quaithe would be warning Daenerys about this supposed "sun's son" feel free to point it out, cause I got nothing.

Final thoughts:

You need to familiarize yourselves with this theory, because it's one of the all-time best (worst).

Half a million views! Lol.

Kitchen Fan Lullaby

WARNING!!!!! This poem contains triggering topics, such as su!cide, pet loss, add!ction, breakdowns, being trans, abus!ve parents, and briefly mentions flashbacks. You have been warned!!!!

Do you know what this song sounds like?

It sounds like

Falling asleep,

With my baby Pepito,

Snuggled into bed with me.

It sounds like

Hugging my dad for the first time

After I got off the plane from Dallas

(The second time).

It sounds like

Hugging my sister,

As she cries in my arms,

And I whisper strength in her ear,

Because our parents are fighting,

And I don’t want her to hear.

It sounds like

My dad telling me to leave

Because I found his stash

And was upset because he lied to me

about relapsing.

It sounds like

My mom screaming at me,

“WHY CAN’T YOU BE NORMAL?!?”

While she watched my brother hold me down

To stop me from hurting myself

and others.

It sounds like

Swallowing pills

Or tying a knot

Or stepping off a ledge

And into the great beyond.

It sounds like

My mother rocking me and my sister,

My sister still nursing,

The blue light of the VCR TV screen shrouding us,

While she hummed me a song to get me to sleep.

It sounds like

Running through the brush,

Up on the hill,

Behind our house,

Searching for dragons to fight and capture.

It sounds like

The song I sing to myself

Every time I’m in the shower

And I can’t stop the flashbacks.

It sounds like praying to a god,

Who I’m almost sure doesn’t exist,

Because there’s a chance he’s real,

And could turn me into a boy.

It sounds like

Nostalgia.

And heartache.

And longing.

Longing for something

Extraordinary

To pull me out of this misery.

Hi girlie what's up :>

Headcanons for how Sokol, Dallas, Hoxton and Bain sleep with their s/o?

(sleep with as in, zzzzzzz)

Hiiiiiii!!! I'd love to write this for you!! hope you don't mind but I decided to throw in Wolf and Houston to make this more interesting!

Prompt: how Dallas, wolf, Houston, Hoxton, Sokol, and Bain sleep with their S/O

Author's note/ warnings???: Absolute fluff, literally tooth-rotting, absolutely nothing but fluffy stuff ngl, mentions of the web series, and Dallas' day job in his (aka manager at first world bank, imma say he only works there on Saturdays and Sundays, weekdays he's on heists)

Dallas

Homeboy is a workaholic

but when he knocks out, he is fucking out

So, when you do drag him to bed, he's out in seconds

normally, you're laying on his chest, his arm wrapped around you

Normally, it's super quiet, like super quiet, so quiet you can hear every little sound outside and inside, it's weird

Dallas doesn't care about how you sleep, as long as you're with him tbh

ok, so he sleeps with one of those super thick weighted blankets, why? because they tend to be warm and he likes that

hope you like being toasty in the middle of the night cuz oh god-

sleeps with the AC on tho, at least he does you that courtesy

he wakes up at 6 on days he works at the bank, 8 on days he works on heists

all and all, he's cuddly when he's sleepy

Wolf

Wolf is normally in bed by around 10-12, he will drag you to bed when he's sleepy, so I hope you have a schedule in place

he either sleeps laying on top of you or with his arm wrapped around you

bro sleeps with the AC on the coldest setting it can be on and then he has like 2 thick blankets, bro didn't have 2 blankets before, when you moved in tho, he bought like 8 super thick blankets

he wants you to be comfy after all ❤️

he sleeps in his boxers because fuck pajamas tbh

does not care if you sleep in your underwear

he drools in his sleep, also growls sometimes, and just makes noise in his sleep

bro is also a fighter in his sleep

he tries not to flop all over you, but if your fine with it, he'll probably lay on your chest

he's so soft with you tho

Houston

Now this boy is so nervous to sleep with you at any point

so, how do you handle it? his arm is tucked under your head and you're just snuggled into his chest

He's so shy about it, like omg this cute ass man blushes like a damn fool every time you snuggle into him

he sleeps with a thin ass blanket, but he has the heat on, he normally keeps his house pretty cool, but his room is incredibly warm, its super cozy

he has like 5 water bottles on both bedside tables because when he sleeps, he sleeps like a rock

he also rolls around a lot while sleeping, pretty boi here happens to wake up laying on your stomach

this dude sleeps in a tank top and sweatpants

He wakes up at 7:30 because he runs on a very, VERY tight schedule, he will not make you follow it through, wake up whenever he doesn't mind

he talks in his sleep, it's cute to hear

he also stays in bed an extra 30 minutes just to stare at your sleeping face, he thinks you look adorable

Hoxton

He sleeps whenever the hell he passes out

drag him to bed when you're ready to sleep, and he'll just stare at you, smiling like an idiot because he thinks your cute

Bros the big spoon, all the time, either with you facing him or facing away from him

he often hums to you while you sleep, maybe actually singing every so often, he has one he sings for you specifically he calls 'an angels lullaby'

he enjoys burying his face into your hair

he keeps the bedroom cool, its nice, and he has this nice fluffy white blanket he sleeps with

sleeps in his boxers and a tee shirt, he doesn't care what you sleep in

he snores a lot, not loudly, but he does snore

he wakes up at 6 am, normally he just stares at you until you wake up

when you do he's smiling like an idiot, he loves you

Sokol

Sokol has a weird sleep schedule, he sleeps early and wakes up at like 5 to go on a run, he's very strict about it

He'll drag you to bed at like 8, he normally accidentally wakes at 5, or when he takes a shower at 7 when he gets home

you eventually get used to his schedule

Anyways, he normally sleeps with both his arms wrapped around you, holding you against his chest with your face buried in his neck

he normally hums you to sleep, running his fingers through your hair, kind of smiling to himself

he never really tired to get dressed for sleep, he doesn't care really

he tries to stay awake later to talk to you, but he just can't

he sleeps with an incredibly soft blanket, it feels so nice

more often than not he wakes up tangled into you, almost like as close as he can get is never close enough

he always kisses your forehead before he leaves to go on his morning run

Bain

oh lord he's not used to this

Bain is so anxious about cuddling with you, every night, even if its been years since you both god together

he sleeps cuddled up to you, he kisses your forehead every 10 seconds until he falls asleep

sleeps in a grey sweater, and red flannel pajama pants

he has the AC on, 24/7, because he's so hot all the time

he sleeps with weighted blankets, no reason why he just likes them

he's either laying on top of you/you laying on top of him, or he's on the exact opposite side of the bed, with no in-between

has a few knives next to his bed because he's paranoid

he spends a few hours on his phone in bed

he's normally asleep by 1 AM, despite having been in bed since 9 PM

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

So this thing I'm not writing

This epic Sports Night fic I am definitely not writing because I have lesbian ballerina spies to worry about and then an actual book deadline. Something I've noticed about particularly older fics in this fandom is that they have this tendency to acknowledge early on that Danny and Casey are both super fucked up. Danny's got the obvious anxiety disorder. (Generalized? Social? I can't say for sure, but from the questions Abby asks I would have to guess social.) Casey occasionally gets written as the golden retriever perfect boyfriend but thank God most people at least seem to NOTICE that he's also a rigid, neurotic mess. The general misogyny goes unremarked. It was an era where if there were Strong Female Characters (TM), the kind Sorkin writes, we were content. We made jokes at our own expense. God, look at women! So clingy and crazy! Always expecting men to respect our essential humanity when we know they have more important and manly things to do! So writers write Sally and Dana and Lisa and Rebecca the way Sorkin saw them, which is a shame, because all of them deserved better. Especially from us. But writers will acknowledge that the male leads are fucked up. Often write a decent scene where they behave like the kind of spoiled giant children they are. Convinced (like Sorkin) of their inherent specialness and greatness. And then--then they will get into the Romance, and suddenly they're both masterful communicators who know exactly what to say to make it all right. And my suspension of disbelief falls apart like wet tissue paper. Because that's not how these guys, who are CLEARLY both fucked up, who struggle with masculinity, would be about emotional communication. Watch them! Casey barely even grasps that Dan HAS an anxiety disorder! Dan sulks! Casey pouts! They have petty, vengeful moments on a nonstop basis! They would literally rather drink than talk about any feelings whatsoever! They are BAD AT THIS. Communicating in relationships is a skill. It must be honed. Neither of them have ever honed that skill in their lives. If you think for two seconds that, of all pairings, THEIR denouement would involve them rationally discussing things and then venturing hand in hand to the bedroom to have very enlightened and unambiguously consensual safe sex, which they would have already cleared the air about re their emotional expectations, you are FUNDAMENTALLY MISTAKEN about these jerks. And I love them, they're great characters, but listen to them TALK, especially about women! They ARE jerks! So anyway, I'm not writing this. I'm not writing about they met and then Lisa and Casey's marriage dissolving while Casey grasped at straws with vulnerable and emotionally naive Dana and then we get to the show and then we follow Danny's nervous breakdown and the show's near death and miraculous resurrection and then eventually Casey in particular grows the fuck up and learns to treat Dana with some respect and understands why exactly the dynamic with Sally was so bad and meanwhile Danny slowly learns to live with his anxiety not like a black cloud hovering over him but as a chronic medical condition he can manage, and in the end they're still huge dorks who in their middle age shack up and Charlie is like, okay, whatever, I guess Danny definitely can't be said to be trying to replace my mom, and they have a semi functional blended Jewish-Protestant family. ...I'm not. Yet.

Things We Gained In The Fire pt 4

part 1, part 2, part 3, •, part 5

A Prince In Snake's Clothing

Word count: 1348

Rating: teen

Pairings: Intrulogical, Royality

Warnings: mentions of death, past child neglect, post-martial nudity, Remus tries to have spicy times (it doesn’t work out for him)

~~~START~~~

Janus couldn’t sleep.

At home… when he had home…

At home he and his siblings slept on one big pile with his dad’s tail curled around them. It was comfortable, safe.

This was not safe. He was in a room he’d never been in before, in a place he’d never been to before, trying to sleep on a bed which was a whole new experience for him—

And his family was gone.

Janus choked on a sob. His family was gone.

His mom would never sing him lullabies again, and his dad would never carry him around in his tail again, and Iris would never take him flower picking again, and Alexis would never challenge him to another race, and Silas would never teach him any new card games, and Marcus would never ask him to tie his shoes for him, and Ellis would never ask him for another story, and the twins, Dallas and Travis, would never say their first words… they were gone.

They were all gone and Janus wasn’t and it wasn’t fair!

Virgil mumbled in his sleep before turning over and grabbing onto Janus’s sleeve with his chubby toddler hands. Janus’s expression softened.

Virgil reminded him so much of Ellis; when the knights had evacuated them, he’d found Virgil crying behind a boulder, and couldn’t bear to leave him there, so small and all alone. So, Janus put Virgil on his back, like Alexis used to do when Ellis was tired, and carried him until the knights had set up a temporary camp for the night.

For his part, Virgil had been thrilled to have someone giving him attention; he didn’t even seem to understand what was happening — the fire, the destruction of their homes, the overcrowded camp, none of it seemed to make any impact on the boy at all. Janus had wondered often that first night where Virgil’s family was.

(Everything he’d learned about Virgil since seemed to point to an answer that Janus wasn’t ready to deal with yet.)

And then they had gotten to the castle, and Janus was faced with the realization that he had no idea what would happen now. He didn’t have a family anymore, and neither — he was pretty sure — did Virgil, so where did that leave them?

Janus hadn’t been willing to find out.

It’d been easy enough to slip away from the crowd, especially since he and Virgil were both relatively small. His plan wasn’t the most thought out, but he’d figured they could find place to lie low until nighttime, then maybe they could find a place to hide out for a while. It had been pure luck that they’d stumbled on the kitchens, and even more luck that they found that little crevice to hide in without being seen.

Of course, luck had run out when Logan found them.

Janus wasn’t sure what to make of Logan, or Patton. They both seemed nice enough, and Virgil seemed to like them, but Janus couldn’t help but be suspicious. Why would they so readily help them when Janus and Virgil had clearly broken rules and trespassed where they weren’t welcome?

And not only had Logan and Patton given them food, but Logan had given them their own bedroom to sleep in. Now he was lying in a bed, exposed and vulnerable, in an unfamiliar environment, with only Virgil to keep him company.

So yeah, Janus couldn’t sleep.

~~~

The sun was just beginning to shine through the curtains when Remus woke up. Usually, Logan would wake up first, but one glance at his husband’s face proved that Remus had beat him today.

He smirked and threw a leg over Logan, straddling his hips. When that didn’t wake the King up, Remus moved on to peppering kisses along his jaw.

“Wakey wakey, Logie,” he murmured into his husband’s ear.

“Hmm?” Logan groaned, just barely beginning to stir.

Remus kissed his way down Logan’s neck, intent on starting something. When he reached Logan’s sleep shirt, he pulled the collar down and began sucking a hickey onto the newly exposed skin there.

“Remus,” Logan moaned, finally opening his eyes.

“‘Morning, love,” Remus beamed, moving from Logan’s neck to claim his lips instead.

Logan was just threading his fingers through Remus’s wild bed head when a knock came from the door.

“Your highnesses!” Patton called chipperly through the oak. “I brought you breakfast!”

Remus groaned, rolling off of Logan and onto his back next to him.

“One moment, Patton!” Logan called before turning his attention to his naked husband. “Go get dressed.”

“No,” Remus pouted petulantly. “He ruined my morning, the least I can do is ruin his.”

Logan rolled his eyes. “Patton has seen your brother naked,” he said calmly.

“NO!” Remus screeched loud enough that Patton must have heard him through the door. “WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME!?”

Remus dove into the closet and slammed the door behind him, which Logan took as a sign that he would either be fully dressed when he emerged, or wouldn’t emerge until Patton left again. Either way, Logan grabbed his glasses, adjusted the collar of his sleep shirt to hide the hickey, and went to answer the door.

“Goodmorning, Patton,” Logan greeted as he opened the door. “I hope you slept well last night.”

“‘Morning Lolo!” Patton beamed as he pushed a serving cart full of food into the room. “I slept as well as I could have, given the circumstances. I made you your favorite breakfast! And I brought some chocolate chip pancakes because I figured the kiddos could use something special, and I didn’t want them to have to eat with the rest of the villagers…”

Patton’s smile faltered, and Logan frowned. Patton was right, Logan didn’t want Janus or Virgil to have to spend any more time than they had to around the villagers who seemed to have cared so little for their lives, but he hadn’t thought of what to do with them. Yes, they could eat their meals with Logan and Remus instead of in the dining room with the rest of the villagers, but long-term, Logan wasn’t sure.

“What kiddos?” Remus asked, emerging from the closet — to Logan’s amusement — dressed immaculately, with only the skin of his face and hands visible in his high-collared tunic and dress pants.

“You didn’t tell him?” Patton asked, wide eyed.

“He was asleep when I got in last night,” Logan explained. “It seems,” he said, turning to his husband. “That we found the two missing villagers. They are children — orphans — who were hiding in the kitchens. Due to the dismissive and appalling way the village elder spoke of them yesterday, I have elected to place them in my childhood bedroom instead of a guest room, and I feel that it would be best to keep them away from the rest of the refugees.”

“You put them in your childhood room?” Remus asked slowly, a smirk creeping across his face.

“I did,” Logan confirmed.

“You found two orphans and put them in the room meant for the Royal Children in the Royal Suite?”

“Yes.”

“…I’m a dad!?” Remus beamed, bouncing up and down happily.

“Wha- no! No, you’re not a dad! We are not adopting these children!”

“I have to meet them!” Remus insisted, ignoring Logan’s protests.

“And they need pancakes!” Patton agreed eagerly.

“Fine,” Logan sighed. “Just let me get dressed first.”

A few minutes later had Logan knocking on the door to Janus and Virgil’s temporary room while Patton and Remus practically vibrated with excitement behind him. “Janus? Virgil? It’s Logan and Patton, may we come in.”

No response.

Logan knocked again. “We have breakfast for you.”

Still no response. Logan frowned, behind him, Patton started shifting his weight nervously.

“Maybe they’re sound sleepers?” He suggested hesitantly.

Logan nodded, that was plausible… It was also plausible that Janus had decided to leave in the middle of the night and take Virgil with him.

He knocked one last time. “We’re coming in!”

Logan swung the door open to reveal… an empty room.

Shit

~~~END~~~

Look, Remus is just down to be a parent at all times

“MARE ! JUDE ! Get yer asses over here !” The voice is slurred , almost angry and nasally as it screeches out . Two pairs of foot steps , one heavier than the other are heard on old floorboards . “Took you damn long enough . Here . Take care o’ this . It’s yer brother .”

The bundle of squirming old rags is thrust into the young girls arms , her eyes wide as she takes in the sight of a baby . She hadn’t known her Papa’s newest wife was pregnant . Fussy babbling comes from her side , and she bends down , showing the babe to the three year old on the floor .

“What’s his name , Papa ?” She brushes dark curls out of the babes face , letting her curious brother hold the babies hand in his own .

“Hell if I know or care . Call it what ya want . Just a spare , anyway .” She winces at that , holding the baby closer to her chest . He’d have to have a name . . .

“Papa ?” The babe is held protectively to her chest , eyes fearful as she addresses her father for the second time .

The sound of the butt of a shotgun being slammed to the ground echos in the house , the baby lets out a startled cry and the young girl is quick to hush it . “Damnit , Mare , what the fuck else you got to fuckin’ ask me ?”

“How — How am I supposed to pick a name for hi —“

“Fuckin’ hell .Ya whiny bitch . How the fuck am I supposed to come up bullshit like that , Mare ? Just take care of the damned thing ! Fuck ! I got more important shit to do .” With that he shoved in a bullets to his gun , let it snap into place and cocked it , heading out to the barn .

She winced , holding both close to her their Papa stomped off . She let out a sigh of relief to be alone with just her brothers . Looking down at her newborn brother for a moment , she smiled softly .

“Hi , baby boy , I’m Marigold , yer big sister , and this is Jude Jr , yer big brother . It’s nice to meet you .” Jude Jr smiled , saying a babbled “hello” while pressing a kiss to his baby brother’s chubby cheek . Humming a soft lullaby the sound of a the tv catches her attention . A football game on the screen . The blue helmet of the Cowboys spins proudly as their roster is announced for the game , and the girl perks up , smiling wide , “Welcome to the family , Dallas .”

My favorite Kpop releases in 2020

Girls - Nature

Girls by Nature is my favorite Kpop release of 2020 because of the mystery the song gives. The song makes you anticipated with what the solution is but it never gives it to you and you want more. This isn’t a bad thing especially with the music video. This music video was creepy but it was creepy mostly because of the mystery aspect. Throughout the music video, you keep asking yourself why or what and towards the end none of the questions are answered. This song also gives me a nostalgic feel from old Kpop in a way but it fits so well with 2020. The song itself, just kept bringing me in and the music video as well. When I first listened to this song, I was left in confusion because of how the music video ended. I kept listening to the song and watching the music video to figure it out but nothing. The song itself is just a really interesting song and the music video brings alive the song even more. If you watch the music video there two versions one normal and the other one uncensored. If you watched the uncensored trigger warning, there’s blood, there’s stabbing and mental distress throughout. Nature had a release before this called Oopsie My Bad and that song I liked but it wasn’t enough to bring me in but Girls did that for me. I’ve listened to videos with this song on a hour loop and the sad thing is, I never noticed it being that long because I just enjoy the song so much. This song truly captured my attention and I’m interested to see Nature’s future.

Dazzle Dazzle- Weki Meki

Dazzle Dazzle by Weki Meki was such a cute song and it just makes me smile when I listened to it. Dazzle Dazzle aesthetic in the music video was something that I loved and the outfits as well brought the song more alive to me. Weki Meki had a successful year and all the title songs they had were also some of my favorites of this year. I picked Dazzle Dazzle to be my favorite out of the others because it’s so playful and it was something I was actually craving this year. I love all types of concepts but I couldn’t help myself wanting a cute song and this song gave me that. Not only is the song cute but the dance is also very cute and it matches the song perfectly. It's a song that I play when I clean because it makes it more fun or whatever I'm doing fun. I hope Weki Meki gets more recognition in the years to come because their dances and raps are some of my favorite within girl groups.  

Monster - Irene and Seulgi

Monster by Irene and Seulgi made me feel like a vampire killing men at midnight but looking sexy. The beginning of the song is already eerie and it drives you in with the loudness of the bass. Then Seulgi starts singing and it makes you feel like your captured in a trance. Seulgi’s voice throughout the song is one of her best vocal performance to me because it shows her technique and how well she can use it. The deepness of her voice brings out the sexiness the song has and it’s only the first line. Then Irene’s voice comes in with a deep and again sexy voice but it’s softer then Seulgi’s. Irene’s voice through the song isn’t battling selgui and vice versa. Their voices match perfectly for the song and the concept itself. This song and naughty was my favorite but I picked monster as the winner because of how much I loved the overall themes in the debut. The music video brought out the monster within the girls and throughout the video, it’s a battle of dominance. Monster is literally one of my favorite releases and I listen to it almost everyday, it’s a strange lullaby but I don’t fight it.

Scream- Dreamcatcher

Scream by Dreamcatcher is my second favorite title track by Dreamcatcher and this track rocked the kpop scene gathering more fans and getting more sales. The beginning of the song starts off with a track from Lord of the Rings or any final battle sequence. Dreamcatchers voices are soft and beautiful making the instrumental more demanding, the contrast is what makes every Dreamcatcher song so good in my eyes. The chorus of the song has a devil voice in the background that you hear but don’t truly notice it until later on. The rapping also comes in and it fit so well with the song, it just gives another layer of the song. The devil voice comes back with Gahyeon voice, as if the demon is within her as she sings it. Then towards the end the devil is just part of the song and it makes it known that it’s always been there. I actually had a hard time deciding between Scream and Boca because both were fantastic but Scream won because I enjoyed the demons voice in the song and the beat of the song itself. Boca is also a really good song and I recommend to listen to it but back to scream. The lyrics of scream as well talks about how words can hurt and how it just makes you want to scream because of it. The devil within the song is the people that are sending the hate and towards the end they gain control back even if the demon's voice is still heard. Scream is a good song if you want to pretend your fighting or you just want a song to make you feel empowered.

Not by the Moon - Got7

Not by the Moon by Got7 is my second favorite Got7 song because its beautiful and the music video is one of my favorites that came out this year. Dare I say it, this is my favorite boy group song that came out this year. Let me start off with the melody of the song first, the melody itself just screams royal and elegance to me. Something that I’ve seen in Got7 is the transition into more mature songs and how much I love the transition being so organic. On my favorite album list, Breath of love: Last Piece is there and I talk about how JYP didn’t touch it but within this JYP touched it. Even though JYP touched it, it doesn’t mean I hate it. I wanted Got7 to have the chance having creative outlook for once on a title track. Now back to Not by the Moon. This song made Got7 vocals sound so beautiful and it also gives their vocals a mature sound. As a person that went to a film school, the sets in this music video is so well done. The sets themselves are seen to be extravagant and at the same time simple, the sets don't clash with one another and they fit perfectly with each other. The music video and the outfits sold the theme of royal and it made me like it even more. But now let me thirst over JB in this era. Did you see that man? His outfits and his hair gave me everything. It got so bad that youtube was just showing fancams of him during this era and yes, I watched every one. Not only that, when he was dancing in the background with him being the fine piece of man he is; kept catching my eyes and I couldn’t focus on Young-Jae or Yugyeom. Thirst session over. Not by the Moon is a good sequel to the maturity that You Calling My Name gave and I can't wait to see more by Got7 in 2021.

Wannabe - Itzy

Wannabe by Itzy was the first Itzy song where I didn’t have to listen to it more than once to like it. With DALLA DALLA and ICY, it took awhile for those songs to become my top in my playlist. With the first listen of this song, I knew this was going to become my favorite by Itzy but then Not Shy came out. Wannabe and Not Shy were neck to neck in my book but Wannabe won because of the tune itself. The tune of the song does such a good job on showcasing their voices that there is no battle between them. Wannabe wasn’t something I expected with Itzy after ICY, I expected a song close to ICY but was given the opposite of ICY. Itzy theme is self love and being different, this song is continuation of that theme. This song does what DALLA DALLA does with demanding eyes to be on them but does it in a slightly more mature version of Itzy. The song still is playful but to me it has a sprinkle of mature in it. Now let's talk about the legendary shoulder move. This move changed my life, just watching it being done was so satisfying and I can't explain why it was. The dance break is my favorite dance break within Itzy, it's just so cool to see them move. Wannabe is a good extension if Itzy's themes and I can imagine it becoming a staple in their discography.  

Dream of You - Chung Ha and R3HAB

Dream of you by Chung Ha and R3hab was a song that made me the hoe in me come out and I wanted to dance. It was so hard to pick what Chung Ha song I wanted to put here because all of them are so good and so different from one another. Stay Tonight gave me club kid, Play brought the dancer out but I was wearing a red dress in this one, Bad Boy was a easy song to listen to with two different voices that blend well together and then Dream of You. Dream of You brought out a different reaction, I was shocked because of the dancing that was on my screen and then the lyrics. When I heard Chung Ha say lingerie, my mind combust and I was just stuck replaying that part. The song does a good job to show Chung Ha voice but not only that shows her dancing skills that never fails to impress me. With every release she has, I know I’m going to get the full package no matter what. Somehow, she always raises the bar with her music videos, outfits, dances, and her vocals. I know she has Covid and I hope she has a speedy recovery, I also hope theres no long term effects on her health from this. I think Chung Ha is on her way making herself a legend within Kpop and I can't wait to see that for her.

Yours - Chanyeol, Raiden, Lee Hi, Changmo

Before I get into the song, Chanyeol in a suit with nothing underneath his jacket and the only thing I can see is two necklaces makes me want to become a flight attendant. Not only did he give me that look but he also gave me ripped jeans and a blazer, this man is going to give me a heart attack and I'm going to say thank you. Anyways, Yours by Chanyeol, Raiden, Lee Hi and Changmo was a song that I played the most at night because Chanyeol’s and Lee Hi’s voice was so soft that it could easily put you to sleep. This was my third most played song of 2020 on Spotify for good reason. For starters Chanyeol is my man and I gotta support his hoe ass but another reason is just how peaceful this song is. I had a hard time because I wanted to put Minimal Warm because that was another song I listened to at night and is currently on my 2020 favs on itunes. The hoe in me wanted to give both but I realized that Yours won because Chanyeol rapped in the beginning of Yours and I am a simp for rapper Chanyeol. The song just makes me feel like we're driving to the beach and making a small video when we get there. This song was a light hearted summer song and boy did it make me fall more in love with Chanyeol's hoe ass even more. Lee Hi's voice is a nice addition that makes the song feel even more light and her voice is just nice and smooth. Changmo rap also didn't change the song and it continue the them of light hearted summer song. This song is my lullaby most nights and Chanyeol I miss you on instagram.

Helicopter - CLC

Helicopter by CLC was another long awaited comeback and there was fear because there was a rumor that disbandment was going to be CLC'S next step. I waited for any news and then I saw Yeeun on Good Girl and it made me realize a comeback is coming. When I heard the second teaser of Helicopter, I knew I was going to like the song and I was right. This is one of the best comebacks of 2020 in my opinion because how long we waited for it. Helicopter is as song that I think defines CLC as a whole with the lyrics, the dance, the attitude, and the music video. "I go up in the sky Jumping over the time and space, I changed everything for this moment. A night covered in a veil, passing through a long day. I’m gonna make it big, no doubt. There ain’t no star that cannot shine, let’s hang out at the top." I think these lyrics express everything we want CLC to achieve and what they want to do as well. This song is their driving force to become better and no matter they will reach the top. This song gives you the empowerment to do anything and never give up just like CLC. I'm excited to see more from them and make sure to check their covers, my personal favorite is fly me to the moon.

To be or Not to be - Oneus

To Be or Not to Be by Oneus wasn’t the song I expected after A Song Written Easily because of how different they are. The shock on my face when I saw the teaser for it and the excitement I had because it was new for them. I’ve been a fan of Oneus since they debuted and they’re actually in my top ten boy groups. Their past songs have been dark but To Be or Not to Be was truly one of the darkest songs that they have done. The music video showed off the darkness of the song so well that it didn’t feel like a music video but a movie. This is my favorite music video that came out in 2020 because of the production and the sets that was in it was just so beautiful. The music video is more story telling then other music videos that they have done but it matches at the same time. The rapping in this song was so good, it demanded attention and the deep voices they had just matched so well with the song.  The dance that they had with this song truly blew me away and there parts in the dance where I was shocked, the throwing of the members just matched the song so perfectly. Now lets talk about music video. This music video again was my favorite music video that came out of 2020 because of the story telling it had. In the very first shot, it was light from the sunlight and they were seen wearing white clothing at table with a white table cloth but when the song starts the scene changes into a darker scene. In writing, white is the symbol of purity, innocence and simplicity so when the scene changes to black, you can still see them wearing white but the environment is darker now. As the song moves forward it transitions between the dark and the light. Within the music video, there's flashes of red and red is seen as a overlay in some parts. In film and writing red is the color of anger, passion, love and desire. The useage of red throughout the video makes the song comes more alive. I'm going to stop talking about the music video now because I can just go on for hours on it. The music video and song blend so well with each other that it truly does feel like your watching a movie. I hope they can continue this film work in later videos because it made the song even more special.

Hmph! - WJSN Chocome

Hmph! by WJSN Chocome was the song that I wanted all year and then I was given it, after complaining. See when you complain sometimes you just win and this is my example of that. I can say how playful this song is but I don't even think that word does it justice. This song was so cute and adorable when I first heard it I fell in love with it. In the beginning the song is already bringing you in with the unique beats that I have never heard before. The music video matches the weirdness of this song and it takes the cute to the next level for me. In the music video it shows the dance and the dance is so cute with the song. The whole song, music video, outfits, and dance is the cutest thing I have seen this year. I hope WJSN does a concept like this in the future or maybe another song by WJSN Chocome because I love it and i support the idea of it.

La Di Da - Everglow

La Di Da by Everglow is such a contrast to the last comebacks that they had in past but at the same time it fit with the concept they have established for themselves. When I heard La Di Da teaser I was excited because on my favorite album list, The Weeknd album was my favorite of 2020. This song gave me the vibes of blinding lights and I enjoyed it. Not only that but the part Everglow, forever lets go was the most unexpected break of a song that I have heard but it's my favorite. I hope that becomes their intro when they do interviews because its a cool saying to me. The raps brought more depth to the song and it made love Aisha even more. The outfits of this era was so pretty and I like anything with sequins. The dance had voguing in it and being a huge fan of drag queens, if I see any type of voguing I’m living for it. I know Sihyeon and Yiren tested positive for covid and I hope for a speedy recovery and I also hope this doesn't cost long term damage.
