  PLOTTED STARTER !     ⤷ @primitiveside

The whole house was abuzz and bustling with whispers and chatter between the kids living there. There was a new guy, and that was a big deal. It’d been a long time since they had someone that was new, someone that seemed like he was going to stay for an extended period of time. Of course, so far he’d talked to absolutely no one, seemingly only appearing when there was food to be had, and disappearing promptly after.

But what was new guy’s story? That was what interested Alisa. There were always new people, but this particular new guy seemed… different. Usually, it was younger kids being brought in; some ran away after a few days, and a few stayed. Alisa was one of the few that had stayed; she wasn’t going to end up on the streets if she could help it. Not to mention she was a particularly… special case, in a sense.

After all—it wasn’t hard to determine that a child with clear biotic potential shouldn’t be given to the grandparents who protested and called them abominations openly and proudly.

While everyone seemed to have been avoiding Riddick, giving him a bit of a berth… Alisa was either too friendly, or too brave. With two plates in hand she approached him, setting one of the plates in front of him. A simple sandwich: ham, cheese, lettuce, pickles, butter, and a little mustard. Nothing out of the ordinary, really.

“Hey.” She managed a smile. “Alisa. You, uh—you can call me Liss, though. It was, uh… Richard, right?” She hoped that was the name they’d been told. God, her memory sometimes—it was such a mess on the worst of days.

hi! i’ve been trying to find an answer to this for a while, but couldn’t find it in TRC: how old were each of the lynches when Niall was killed?

ohohoho boy buckle up. this is actually a somewhat contentious question (aka msteif maybe lost track of the answer a little from book to book).

but MY BEST ANSWER is:

if ronan (and the gangsey) are 17 in TRB (spring of their junior year), and declan is still in high school during TDT (when the grey man ransacks his dorm), declan must be a senior — so he’s probably 18 (maybe almost 19?). (the contentious part of this is that in the dreamer trilogy, declan is supposed to be 21, despite adam and ronan being college freshman age, so if the dreamer trilogy takes place the year after TRK, declan has mysteriously aged like 2-3 years).

we also know that ronan dreamt matthew when he was 3, so matthew would be 14 in TRB (maybe turning 15).

so. it’s not explicitly stated when niall died (i don’t think anyway!) but. here’s my scientific deduction.

gansey wasn’t at aglionby his freshman year because he bounced around looking for glendower, but he knew ronan before niall died. so niall must have died sometime in their sophomore year. meaning ronan was 15/16, declan was 17ish (i would also hypothesize he was *almost* 18 because of how the will is written), and matthew was 12/13.

but, basically the answer is there is not a straight answer. hope that helps!

“Good morning, my Y/n! How was your night?” He wrapped himself around you as you organized paperworks at the student council room. “Were you thinking about me?” He asked playfully, wiggling his eyebrows.

You scoffed and chuckled. “Maybe.” He awed “You definitely did! Bet I was your knight in shining armor. And you were my damsel in distress.” Rolling your eyes, your mind immediately came up with an idea. You slightly leaned onto him as you looked up to meet a curious pair of eyes.

“Oh my knight in shining armor, please do help me, your damsel, in distress.” You added sarcasm to the last words. He grinned, now playing along. “Oh my lovely princess, what can I, your knight, aid you with?”

You handed Hanako a huge pile of papers and sat on your chair, filling out some paperwork. “Can you place them on the President’s desk?” You gave him a sweet yet smug smile. He groaned. “You baited me! Again!” He complained, pouting at you. You laughed, waving your hand. “You are going to help your damsel right? Well, off you go! I’ll give you a reward when you come back~”.

“Oh and greet Teru for me!” You exclaimed, giving him a kiss before continuing your work.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

Hanako continued to frown as he fled towards the said president’s office. ‘I hate this.’ he grumbled to himself, before remembering he could teleport. He called out his haku-joudai and sent it to Teru’s office. It failed. “Huh?” He said confused. Then it dawned on him. “Right, that ‘School Prince’ placed a barrier. Great.” 

He continued to float towards the office with a grumpy face.

Once near the destination, Hanako put on a happy facade and quickly knocked the wall, knowing that electricity was flowing through the door. “Come in!” A smooth male voice said from the other side. “I would if you take out the barrier!” Hanako exclaimed back.

A woosh was heard before the President himself came out with a faux smile on his face. “Come in. Hanako.” He said the name with venom that Hanako immediately obliged. Once inside, Teru frowned and crossed his arms, watching the ghost’s every move. Hanako scoffed then smiled. “No need to be rude, jeez. I’m just here to give you the paperworks from Y/n. She said hi.”

The blond male sighed. “Just place them on my desk. I really have to tell her to bring it herself next time..” He muttered to himself.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

Hanako teleported back to your office to see that no one was there, he looked around. Were you hiding? Where did you go? He went around the hallways trying to find you and call your name.

“Y/n? Y/nnnnn- where are you?” He whined. “I sent the papers to him as promised. WHERE IS MY KISS?!”

Hanako looked left and right for you in the hallways. Each second, getting more and more worried. His worries were changed to relief then annoyed. You were with a student, who was close to you as he chatted with you. The student waved and bid goodbye after he needed whatever he asked from you.

You stood there, going back to the office until you noticed Hanako in the hallway. You sheepishly smiled and held his hand undetectably, then went back to the office. “Who was that?” He asked, as soon as possible when the two of you were in the room. “It’s a student asking for help about something.” You answered. He crossed his arms. “Asking you on a date?”

“What- No! He was asking for help with his assignment. We’re classmates.” He let out an ‘oh’, his arms falling beside him. You sighed and slightly shook your head. “I’m not going to dump you for someone else, Hanako. I only have eyes for you.”

He immediately smiled and tackled you to a hug. “Awww, I knew you wouldn’t cheat on me!” You hugged him back, smiling as well “Of course I wouldn’t.”. As a reward for helping you, you gave him the long awaited kiss, which he immediately warmed up to. After a long moment, you thought it was time to let go, once you did, Hanako whined, the warmth gone.

You sat back at your desk and began to write down on another worksheet. “Ugh, you’re always writing something.” He pouted, his translucent body resting on the table trying to cover the paper. You paid no mind. “I have to. It’s my college application.”

He shot up. “C-college?” You nodded. “Y-Y/n- you don’t need to go! Don’t go. You’ll have everything here- you can live here, you can- Tsuchigomori-sensei will teach you! You don’t need to leave..”

“It’s my last year here, Hanako. But don’t worry. It’ll be a few months more before I leave. I’ll visit you too if that makes you happy.”

He sighed, a frown still in his face. “You have to promise me that, Wouldn’t want your oh-so-lovely boyfriend alone do you?” You shook your head smiling, you and Hanako intertwining pinkies to bound the promise.

“I promise.” Hanako’s lips turned upwards to a grin.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

Time skip to after school. Hanako hugged you from behind. “Finally! We can be together.” His voice was cheery. You gave him an apologetic smile. “I can’t Hanako. I have to continue to fill out my college application-”

“It’s always ‘Paperwork, paperwork. I have to finish my forms!’” He impersonated your voice. “I just want to hang out with you, is that too much to ask?!”

“I-”

“I just want to be with you! Since the start! I wanted us to be close! I thought that maybe after we got together, we’ll be together and you won’t leave me. Isn’t that how relationships work?!” Tears threatened to fall from his eyes, while you watched him guiltily.

“Hanako I’m-” You reached for him but he slapped your hand away. He looked down. “I’m gonna get some fresh air. Give me time to cool off.” Before he could teleport away, he dared to look at you. Seeing the hurt and guilt in your eyes, he closed his eyes shut.

A moment after he left, you muttered his name. ‘I didn’t know this was affecting him that much.. I’m such a bad s/o..” You decided to do the form later and went to the bathroom, hoping to see Hanako there and apologize.

“Ah, Y/n-senpai!” Yashiro exclaimed, she stopped sweeping and noticed your sad expression. “Is everything alright? What’s wrong?”

You both sat on the cleaned floor, as you vented your feelings to Yashiro. She patted your shoulder for comfort as you sulked. “I’m sure you and Hanako-san will solve this problem soon. I know you both love each other so much.” She smiled, but her heart ached as she spoke.

“I guess.. But we’ve been a bit... We don’t hang out much anymore. I guess that’s mostly my fault because I’m always busy with work.”

“I’m sure he understands.”

The door opened to see Hanako. You quickly stood to your feet and tackled the ghost, muttering apologies. You felt Hanako slowly wrapping his arms around you, mentioning Yashiro and the mokkes to leave.

Once the door closed, he spoke up. “I’ve been a jerk to you too. You’re not the only one who’s regretting their decisions.” He stopped for a while, playing with the hem of your uniform. “Just please stay with me.”

“I will.”

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

After that argument, everything went back to normal. You continued to spend time with Hanako, and still managed to do your student council duties. With the help of Hanako, you managed to finish all your work for the time being.

But even after that, that doesn’t mean the other students won’t ask you for help.

“Why won’t they ask that school prince for help instead?” He waved his hand in front of the student, who was oblivious. “Maybe Teru’s busy. I’ll hang out with you later, Hana.” You muttered to Hanako.

“Did you say something?” The student looked at you from his paper, briefly pausing.

“Nope! Nothing.” You blurted out.

“Fine! I’ll hang out with Yashiro then.” Before you could bid him goodbye, he was out of your sight. You told the student to focus on his work while you thought about Hanako. ‘I hope I wasn’t too mean.’ You thought to yourself, brushing off the heavy feeling, as you told Hanako you’d hang out with him later.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

You bid goodbye to the student before parting ways. You stretched your back, hoping to go back to your sweet-sweet bed and lie down. You yawned. “Going somewhere?” You jolted at the voice, turning around to see Teru smiling. “Yeah.” You quickly answered. “It’s late, you should rest. I’ll let Akane take care of the current work you have.”

You shook your head. “No need, I already finished all of them.” You turned your back, waving. “I have to go. You should go home Prez.”

You paused, before continuing. “And at least give Akane a break.”

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

You opened the door, expecting to be greeted by Hanako’s arms. Instead, the room was empty. No one was there. “Hanako?” You called, looking around. “Where are you?”. Looking out the window, you saw Hanako and Yashiro at the garden making flower crowns. You focused your eyes on Hanako, seeing him smile, flowers on his head, and having fun.

You smiled, going down to join them.

“You guys seem to be having fun.” You grinned. Yashiro’s eyes widened in surprise as she didn’t notice you. Hanako jolted, before smiling wider and pulling you beside him. “I made a flower crown for you!” He took a flower crown of your favorite flowers and gently placed them on your head.

“A crown fit for a queen.” You felt heat rush up your face, smiling widely that you can’t control it. “Thank you, my king.” You tackled him and filled his face with kisses. Hanako laughed and tried to return the affection.

Unbeknownst to the two of you, Yashiro sat there with her arms crossed. A frown on her face.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

“What?” You said, staring in disbelief at the piles of paper in front of you. “I gave Akane a work off, as you said. But I’m really busy today so I can’t do this myself. Can you do it for me? Please.” You were one of the two people Teru would give work to. The other one is Akane, of course.

“I-” Looking at his eyes, he seemed a bit desperate. You sighed. “Fine.” His eyes shone brightly. “I knew I could count on you! See you!” 

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

You started going back to your habits- not like you wanted to anyway. You didn’t have time for Hanako. He felt as if he was just thrown to the side as you continued drowning yourself in work.

Another person Hanako would go to was Yashiro. She wasn’t in the student council. She was free. She and Hanako met way longer than you and him. She was the one he could trust when you weren’t there.

As he hung out with Yashiro, going on adventures and missions, you were at school stressing yourself out. You yearned to at least rest with Hanako and cuddle with him. The thought briefly calmed you.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

“Yashiro! Watch out!” Hanako yelled as a monster began to raise its weapon. Before it swung, Hanako managed to pull Yashiro to his chest as he threw the knife to the enemy’s weak point. He sighed in relief, looking at the girl.

“Are you alright?” He asked, looking for injuries. She nodded, heart beating fast either from adrenaline or by how close she was to him. “That was fun!” He exclaimed. “Too bad Kou and Y/n weren't here.. Just you and me.” Yashiro muttered the last part of the sentence because she felt flustered.

“Yeah. I know Y/n would’ve liked being here..”

“Hey! We’re here. Don’t be sad. We can still have fun!” Yashiro’s words seemed to cheer Hanako.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

As time passed, Hanako noticed that Yashiro liked spending time with him, so he took advantage of her to make you jealous, hoping for you to pay him more attention. So they continued to hang out more, Hanako hoping you’d notice and do something about it.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

Days turned to weeks. You finally noticed that Hanako slowly stopped coming to visit you. This was the last month before school ends and you wanted to hang out with your boyfriend before you have to enroll in college.

‘I don’t think I have seen Hanako for so long. Is he alright?’ You muttered a curse under your breath for being too absorbed in finishing everything and not caring for your boyfriend’s wellbeing.

You decided to visit Hanako and plan to spend your last moments before graduation.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

“Hey Hanako. Are you and Y/n still dating?” Yashiro blurted out of the blue. Then, her eyes widened, thinking Hanako might’ve thought the wrong idea. “W-well. I thought of it because I haven’t seen Y/n with you. So I assumed you both broke up.”

“We haven’t broken up..” He answered. “But we haven’t been together either. I don’t know what phase of the relationship me and Y/n are.. She keeps ignoring me.” Hanako frowned, trying to remember anything you and him had done over the past few weeks.

“You’re such a great guy, Hanako.” Her confidence seemed to skyrocket. “When we go on adventures together, with or without Kou and Y/n, you’re the one who keeps us safe and the one who makes us happy.” Yashiro smiled, as a blush spread across her face. “If we’re together, I’d...“ She stopped for a brief moment, intertwining their fingers and staring at his eyes with something he was familiar with. The same look you gave Hanako when you first started dating.

“I’d stay with you as long as I can.” She muttered sheepishly. His eyes only widened. His heart palpitating. He sat still when she slowly leaned onto him, chests touching, nose brushing each other.

With all the confidence and bravery Yashiro had, she closed in the distance she and Hanako had left. Hanako’s breath hitched when they kissed. But he soon melted into it as he craved for the feeling you couldn’t fill no longer.

Hanako tilted his head to deepen the kiss. Yashiro let go of his hands and sat on his lap, her hands on his shoulders to support herself.

For Yashiro, she thought her feelings were reciprocated. That Hanako had loved her while they were on their adventure.

For Hanako, he wasn’t thinking about Yashiro kissing him. He loved the attention and affection she gave him. But he was imagining you making out with him instead of Yashiro. 

Too absorbed making out, they failed to notice a figure on the door watching. You clenched your uniform as your heart pounded crazy. Tears quickly blurred your vision as it fell down your cheeks. “I can’t believe you..” You sobbed. “You cheater!”

Your loud voice seemed to break the two’s moment. When he noticed you, he pushed Yashiro off him, going his way to you in panic.

“Y/n, It’s not what it looks like! She kissed me!" He tried to hold your arm, only for you to yank your arm away from him. “And you kissed back!?” You exclaimed. “I can’t believe you!”

“Y/n I was thinking of you that whole time! I swear.” You scoffed at his excuse, roughly wiping your tears. “And yet you kissed her? Hanako, what’s wrong with you?” You cried out. Yashiro quickly stood up and stayed there sheepishly, feeling guilty.

“I love you Y/n, you know that! It’s just because you’ve been so busy with everything that we can’t hang out anymore. My heart hurts because of it!” He gripped his clothes where his heart was located to show how hurt he is. 

You were conflicted if it was your fault that this relationship didn’t work, but you told yourself that Hanako had cheated behind your back, anger quickly clouded your emotions. “Then why don’t you crawl to Yashiro and make yourself feel better?! Huh? You seem to like her more!” 

Yashiro flinched when her name was called. Hanako became irritated. “Fine! I love Yashiro too. There, I said it! Leave her out of this.” Your heart broke. “Maybe I’ve developed feelings when you weren’t with me-” You slapped him, not wanting to hear another word. Hanako hissed out in pain as you screamed at him. “Don’t pin the blame on me!” You choked a sob, tears became uncontrollable as it continued to pour down your cheeks. 

“You were the one who got feelings. If you do love me, you won’t fall in love with any other girl. I trusted you, Hanako.” You clenched your fist, looking away from him to something else. “Maybe we aren’t meant to be.”

He froze. Hanako wanted to move, to hug you and tell you to not leave him, that he still loves you, but his body was stunned. He was forced to watch as you walked away from his life.

Yashiro reached out a hand for the heart broken ghost, but pulled back. “Hanako, I-”

“Leave me alone. Get out.” His shaky, despaired tone didn’t help much for Yashiro to leave. She wanted to comfort Hanako from the breakup she had caused. When Yashiro didn’t respond, Hanako turned to her, showing his teary eyes and irritated expression. “I don’t want you here, I said get out.”

Without another word, Yashiro obeyed him. She walked to an empty corridor and leaned on the wall, sliding down to the floor. “What have I done?”

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

A/n: it’s finally doneeee!! I really had fun writing the part where Hanako and Yashiro kissed (my favorite part in this fic tbh cause angst-). Thank you for being patient, and I hope you have a great day/night!!

how old is sheik during your comic?

if you mean during the multipage comic, i think sheik is maybe like 16-17ish at the time? for the whole au, which spans the latter ~4 years of the timeskip, i’d estimate sheik goes from being around 15 to 19 (maybe 20) years old for the whole duration? although i’m disorganized and still not 100% sure of when different events take place at what time, so idk if i’ll end up having to shift anything around later lol :’-D

[dykexenomorph]

MINAS RELATIONSHIP WITH ORIN NOW 🔫

OK SO, i do not know if this is canon in orin's case (i have not explored the bhaal area in depth yet/haven't looked into a WHOLE whole lot about her), but i feel like both her and mina were probably taken at around the same time and around the same-ish ages? like i think mina would've been taken at like. 16/17ish and orin at 14/15ish. DESPITE mina being taken literally directly after her blood influences her to kill her previous adoptive family, I think she'd still let herself latch onto orin and would feel the need to protect her (at least at first) eventually (after being influenced for long enough) they'd both end up seeing one another more as competition than as family or people to rely on, and they began harboring grudges towards one another. i remember seeing smth about orin trying to escape the cult at one point, i imagine mina was probably either the one to catch her and bring her back OR was the one to punish her for trying to leave. regardless this obviously was the final nail in the coffin for their relationship, and it was here when orin decided to go all-in with bhaal (and later on with trying to get rid of mina) once wormified mina finally regains parts of her memory she feels bad for orin, and definitely wishes she could go back in time to leave the cult with her. i think if orin was more open to it (AND if she didn't kidnap lae'zel) then mina 100% would have tried to free orin and add her to the ragtag little group of adventurers she's been traveling with since the nautiloid. IN SHORT: they went from two desperate victims clinging onto each other for support to hating/competing w each other and both of them (or maybe just mina idk) ended up wishing things could be different despite knowing they can't be.

[bitsandbobsofwriting]

I don’t imagine this is something you’ve ever really thought about cause it doesn’t seem your style but do you think Mordred ever had a crush on any of the knights/Merlin/Morgana along the lines of how some students get a crush on teachers (as opposed to something serious cause like he’s baby). Or do you think it’s always been a little too much awe/fear initially depending on the person for that to ever manifest past serious admiration and then friendship

(Headcanon Masterlist) (Full Masterlist)

I keep meaning to finish off other pieces, and y'all keep sending me hilarious asks that I just HAVE to answer straight away. I don't know if you intended this anon, but the idea of Mordred having a schoolboy crush on someone in the gang is absolutely sending me😅😂

Also, let's pretend, as we do normally, that everything is perfectly fine and happy and smooshy :D

Ok so, he never has a crush on Arthur, because he takes one look at him (when he comes back as a 16/17ish year old) and goes "Dad?? Uncle??? Brother maybe?? I'm not sure. It's one of those, anyway." It's a little cute honestly, and Merlin and Morgana always take the piss.

It's similar with Merlin and Morgana, except there's a decent amount of HeroWorship™ in there as well, though that quickly ends when he sees Merlin step in a bucket and trip down three flights of stairs, with his only complaint being that he dropped the flower Gwen gave him, and he sees Morgana snort in a very unladylike manner and then choke on her own spit for a good three minutes, specifically at Merlin falling down the stairs.

With the others it's... a different story.

Percival is too big and stronk for our little boy, he's mostly just intimidated. When he finds out how much of a softy he is, intimidation turns into finding it weirdly cute and sweet? But also big and soft and safe?? Mordred is but a kitten, Percival, a soft-mouthed and cuddly but terrifying looking Rottweiler, here to pick him up by the scruff and carry him to safety.

He takes one look at Gwaine and Elyan and panics a little bit because..... why do..es his.... stomach... fee...l like.... thisss. It's an awakening moment for sure. Swishy hair,,,, smooth skin,,,, cheeky, carefree grins,,,,, muscles. This is the initial gut reaction, of all the ones he has towards The Gang, that takes the longest time to lessen, especially because it turns out that they're also super nice people, even amidst all the pranks. He has like... a weird friend crush on them, in that he views them as more friends than crushes, and he would never, could never, actually follow through on it, even if they felt the same, because it would just be too weird. He... look, he just thinks they're neat, ok? And don't we all, really?

It's kinda sad, but he's a little scared of Leon at first. The guy is a big deal, if you forget the magic shit, he's the biggest deal of all of them besides Arthur. And he's the only one there who used to work directly under Uther, and he was obviously good at it otherwise he wouldn't have got where he is. He's also a little too old for Mordred (poor Mor' obviously doesn't realise that Gwaine and Leon are around the same age. If anyone ever tells him, he'll die). Once he gets to know him and he's obviously not genocidal towards magic like Uther was, just a little wary and scared, he warms up to him a lot, and thinks he's super cool and powerful.

Gwen. Is. So Cool. He's a little in love with her, in the way that he can't speak to her without blushing and stuttering. But it's like... the same way I have a "crush" on Emma Thompson: if I ever met her, I would freeze up completely before telling her how incredible she is and beginning to ramble and repeatedly apologise and just generally embarrass myself. But, once again, wouldn't we all react that way upon meeting Gwen (or Emma Thompson)?

Lancelot is, at first, bit of a crush, then the moment he opens his mouth it's "Oh. Oh ok. Dad number two, coming right up." like the switch is immediate. Merlin and Morgana also take the piss out of this. Actually, they take the piss out of all of it. They are the older siblings and Mordred is babey. It's a requirement.

~

Anyway. That was fun, and I hope that was what you were after anon, I love you😅

Keep an eye out today guys, there's some more stuff coming😉

[grantwilsonenjoyer]

mmm okay ive decided to throw these out into the void bc i am far too impatient. little snippets for an au. In which the rogue card picks sparrow instead of lark <3

some context for the au & the actual text under the break :)

hm. i don't want to give too much context in case i ever get around to writing it in full (or at least enough to worry about spoilers ig). but i do think it requires some? so:

sparrow thinks their anger stems from the doodler. when she tells lark, they both kinda latch onto that idea, because they believe it is more "reversable" than the rogue card

lark is still the one to get the message spell from willy at the end of s1 (but he does tell sparrow at some point)

this is. a few years after they get back from the realms, so they are 16/17ish. there is a reason the doodler gets summoned later but well . that is kind of just more plot stuff. so <3

1st image:

‘I have a surprise for you,’ he’d said, hands hidden behind his back and the most convincing smile he could manage plastered on his face. And then, he added, ‘Mayhap it will help you and father get along?’

It was a low blow, even if it was true, and he knew it.

Still, Sparrow had only smiled shakily back and agreed.

Lark flexes his fingers over the handle as he walks around the room. Sparrow would get onto him for ‘wearing circles into their floors’, though he’s caught her doing the same more than once. But they don’t say anything, because they aren’t here. She rarely is.

He wonders if they would agree so easily if he had told them the plan.

He knows the answer, really; he has for years, even without asking. He’s not sure it matters anymore.

2nd image:

Maybe he shouldn’t do this – but he’d already promised Sparrow. If he doesn’t do it now, he never will.

Maybe he needs to get it over with before he changes his mind.

Lark closes his eyes, then, and runs through his plan one last time in an attempt to soothe his nerves.

He builds their house from the ground up, imagines himself pacing through the hallway toward where his father and brother wait for him. There are pictures of their family smiling throughout the years hung on the walls. The tile flooring is cold when he steps into the kitchen. Their faces are twisted in disdain the way they’re cursed to be, and Lark can fix it. They’ll be free from that thing’s influence, and they’ll be happy again. Lark will get his brother back.

Sparrow will get their dad back – will get herself back.

Henry Oak is the Unsung Hero.

ayo would yall (aka the four people who like my posts LMAO) care if i made a five x reader fic. would it be cringe. be fr.

like the concept would be maybe the reader is from the commission but is sorta used as bait as well as being one of the best assassins there?? like similar situation with lila where the handler found the reader but aj raised them (barely, he "took them in" but this good for nothing whore did jack squat). so they pulled a captain america and put the reader under ice and took them out whenever they needed a rlly hard mission done. they usually worked alone, so five and reader never actually met but heard of each other and were like "huh okay"

so basically, the reader looks pretty young, like 16-17ish (also bumped fives "age" up to 16-17 as well but he's still mentally old but so is reader because of the ice situation so yeah)

ALS0 so yk how five's body technically can't age because he fucked up the equation? same deal happened with reader because shawtys basically fucking immortal because of how many times they were preserved under ice for so long.

so yeah. reader was just a normal kid that got screwed by the commission O ALSOOOO the handler had a lot of doubts sending only hazel and cha cha to go get five but she didnt want to send too many people so she put reader on the task, but reader has #freewill and said "no bitch" and the handler was like "okay bitch" and put a tracker in their arm and also mind controlled them to do the job (eventually they find a way to stop it but yeah)

they will kiss. eventually.

this is so fucking cringe omfg

also lemme know if u wanna be on the taglist

would yall read it tho

💖 — what was one of the greatest/happiest moments you’ve had in the rpc?

🖤 — what was one of the worst/most depressing moments you’ve had in the rpc?

💖 I cannot recall many specific ‘moments’ in either direction, however, in college I was dating a person on campus who I talked about rp with since we were talking fanfiction. A few days later I get a text from my now-ex that was just “are you arkytiorforeman and does this url sound familiar to you?” And I was like UH— yeah? yeah? where’d you pull that out from, friend? huh? how do you know that? how do you know who -I- am? Turns out one of their friends from home was a mutual (2014 Merlin RPer who’s url evades me) who I wrote with a fair amount and shipped with !! Which was just very sweet to find out !!! (Same ex also drew me Rory!Master fanart, which was ultimately incredibly sweet, and it might still be rifled in with a bunch of papers from that year.) On that note I’m also gonna be gay and say some of the happiest momence were meeting some of my good friends that I either still talk to (or only recently met) !!! or just remember having good friendships and rps and ships with <333

🖤 And I! Genuinely! Don’t! Know! I would say that more of that comes from like… Making friends and both of you goin through life stuff on other sides of screens and stuff but that is absolutely not related. And also suddenly getting an unexplainable and unsourced anxiety being in the rpc for a while before I came back. HOWEVER. This is more amusing than anything now. When I was small. No older than 17. I did not understand how notifications worked, sometimes. Did not realize that I was reblogging a couple of memes from a RPer who was much older than me multiple times, and not the SOURCE. (Donna RPer, does not matter, do not remember them, however. Adds flavor.) Woke up to them BLOWING UP in my inbox and essentially telling me to learn how to use the website and something along the lines of ‘if nobody’s sending you anything maybe that fucking says something’. Even at the time I thought it was… Pretty funny, honestly? I can’t remember if I apologized, tbh, but I think I did, and one of us blocked the other. The Drama Of It All. najsndkajnsdkjas it was silly. In retrospect now as a 25 year old I can’t imagine blowing up at a 16-17ish year old over my notifications, but tumblr’s notification system was SIGNIFICANTLY more broken back then. So.

I tried to leave a comment on your new Duty & Sacrifice chapter via ao3 but it wouldn’t go through so I’ll leave it here instead:

Such a good chapter as always.

“Inwardly, Aemond decided Dragonstone had to be much farther than the maps depicted—or else another world entirely.”

This was my favorite line this chapter! I love when writers write. Like crafting such a lovely sentence to show how differently Aemond & Lucerys think, as well as their polar opposite upbringing.

I’ve commented before that Alicent & Aemond’s mother-son bond is my favorite thing about this fic and was my main draw (and this is still true!) but I can’t help but feel that Alicent’s tears are wasted on Aemond. Helaena is the one Alicent should be crying for and on her knees begging forgiveness from for forcing her into an abusive marriage since she was only thirteen. I like how it’s clear in this fic that Helaena is uncomfortable with her mother for asking her about Aegon’s whereabouts after she forced her to marry him.

I couldn’t feel anything in the face of Alicent’s remorse because all I could think about was her other child who is suffering a much worse fate than Aemond, and who doesn’t even have half the doting and affection Alicent showers on Aemond. Alicent says herself that she tried her best to shield Aemond from suffering a fate like hers, but she never tried for Helaena before forcing her into marriage and motherhood when she was even younger than Alicent had been when she wed Viserys.

Also I like how you showed that there was a moment when Aemond wished his father loved him. By the time Duty & Sacrifice began, Aemond felt nothing for Viserys so it’s interesting to me that that was not always the case.

thank you so much for the kind words anon 😭 i enjoyed writing that sentence (and even more, editing it before posting so it sounded good, lol) so it's super cool it stuck out to you :)

in regards to alicent, i did want to clarify that i've aged people up in this timeline a lot, so helaena definitely wasn't 13 when she married aegon. probably 17ish--though yeah that doesn't change the fact she was married to *aegon* who for sure isn't a great guy in d&s either.

idk if this will ever get brought up in the fic (tho maybe in an alicent pov one day), so I'll just tell you, in my 'verse i imagine it had more to do with alicent being unwilling to let helaena get married off to some distant noble. knowing that aegon had zero interest in his sister, and given that alicent *does* have some control over her son still, she knew she could protect helaena better this way. this on top of strengthening the bloodline, which viserys was all for.

and indeed, in d&s aegon and helaena only have the twins, who were conceived on their wedding night 😂 besides then he's made a pass at her a couple of times when extremely drunk, but that's about it. so even though by our standards it's a sucky awful marriage, given how irresponsible and rude aegon can be, by alicent's standards this was the best choice for both of them. (funny, but i think helaena would agree with that, and it'd be aegon who would disagree)

now, why didn't alicent just marry aegon and aemond? because she guessed (correctly) aegon *would* have interest in his little omega brother, and that terrified her. aegon in general scares her. plus, aemond was already decently protected from getting married off by the time her kids were of age and alicent had to consider all this (aegon 19, helaena 17, aemond 16), because of his scar and general un-omeganess. obviously that didn't hold up forever, and she knew it wouldn't, but alicent views helaena as someone who could be broken very easily vs. aemond as someone who could weather dealing with any situation (regardless of how true that is)

all this to say, it was definitely a calculated thing alicent did, but in this 'verse it wasn't just for the sake of usurping rhaenyra like is implied in hotd canon. hopefully that makes sense! and thanks for the ask, it was fun to explain a piece of how the d&s verse played out inside my head :) aemond's head is very limited lol!

Solomon’s lovely wild witch girlfriend, Lorelei! Unsure how old she is, in the first two she’s maybe 16-17ish, maybe a young lookin 18? And then the other two she’s maybe like early 20s. Who knows lol. Some edwardian clothing bc. Fun. And also Sol’s kinda early-ish in the grim-line? Tbh his time might be closer to the BI’s equivalent to like, victorian, but look i dont know shit about Boiling Isles history and time periods and if anyone has a good source for that PLS give. Anyway enjoy: woman.

Would you rank the IAD heroines?

I mean, I've only gotten to know four out of like... 17ish? Not sure, I know there are 2-3 novellas and like 16-17 full length books, but I believe one of those novellas is m/m (sadly it is far down the line because I reeeeeeeally wanna read it).

But thus far, I think my heroine ranking is pretty reflective of the hero rating, and how I'd rank their books. Sometimes I'll really enjoy a hero or heroine and their story is less than idea.

But anyway, on to the ladies.

Neomi Laress, ghost/phantom, Dark Needs at Night's Edge. I absolutely adore Neomi. She may be my favorite romance heroine EVER. Neomi sees a crazy virgin vampire and goes "I can break that pony in right". She does a striptease with the immortal line, "Still not stimulating enough? Maybe Conrad wants to see my panties instead?" in order to PROVE TO HERSELF THAT HE CAN SEE HER LMAO. But she's also soooo sex positive, genuinely. She loves sex, she has no shame about being a burlesque dancer in the past, she takes such joy in not only being pleased but pleasing, and she wants him to have a full life, which, for him, will include sex. So breaking him in is basically charity, except she falls in love. I also love that Neomi became a ghost, basically, because she was so fucking angry that her horrible ex killed her right when she bought her own house that she just wasn't able to leave this earth. I love her, I love her.

Mariketa the Awaited/Awakened, witch, Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night. Another forever girl, who I love almost as much as Neomi. A woman who got a college cheerleading scholarship and then dropped out of college. Has a hot pink bedroom with pom poms. Is also a witch of immense potential power. I knew I was gone for Mariketa after it was revealed that she brought a vibrator with her to the jungle while on a mystical quest for a time travel key thing, and I'm fairly certain that's when Bowen knew he was gone for Mariketa. When that moron called her the wrong name when he came and she dramatically left him a fuck you note in the mud and ran off to make a point before he stole her away to a private island? My GIRL. I love how blithe and fun Mariketa is. I love that her husband is her "beast familiar" and her parents know this, so her parents know she gets fucked doggy style in the dirt all night at least once a month. Good for Mariketa, I love all this for her.

Emmaline Troy, vampire/valkyrie hybrid, A Hunger Like No Other. A lot of people shit on Emma because she's so timid, but I actually find her to be really fun. Understandably, she's terrified when this giant wolf man takes off with her. She grows into her boldness, her new role as the werewolf queen--she fucking kills the vampire king, for fuck's sake (who is her father!!!). And as problematic as A Hunger Like No Other was... I enjoyed the old school romance style sexual awakening of Emma. It's not what I want taught to kids lmao, but it was a good story. Also, she summons lightning when she comes hard, and I think that's fun.

Kaderin the Coldhearted, valkyrie, No Rest for the Wicked. I like Kaderin a lot, but I don't know that I looove Kaderin. So many people do, I'm sure. She's a total badass. I love that she wears vampire fangs as trophies and then falls in love with one. I relate to her fear of emotional intimacy (maybe too much). I wish she'd been like... a little more accepting of Sebastian's love, but I get that this was the plot, so on, so on. I feel like Emma's rejection of Lachlain and Mariketa's rejection of Bowen felt more... authentic, though? Because Lachlain and Bowen were literal beasts, whereas Sebastian was honestly pretty accommodating. Even if he was a vampire.

I really hate the notion that trans men NEVER get told we're invading cis gay spaces. Cause while maybe its not as big as the shit transphobic cis lesbians do/say to trans women, we absolutely get told we're creepy annoying women fetishizing gay men & invading their space.

Like when I was a teen [16-17ish] a bunch of cis gay guys who were TERFs started harassing me & a friend for the crime of being trans & gay [this was before I I.D.ed as bi].

I see all the time people go "Why do trans men never get this energy ?" Like WE DO !!! Maybe you're a trans man who's never gotten this or you've just never seen it [but you're not a trans man]. But it does [maybe it's not as massive as the shit trans women face, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen]

Do you know how old Ronnie Raymond is?

depends on the continuity.

pre-52 ronnie was around 25 when he died and was still that age when he was brought back (although he acted a lot younger for some reason). if he’d aged realistically he’d be around lorraine’s age (mid-thirties). new 52 ronnie is around 16, then closer to his pre-52 age in future’s end.

(for the rest of them:

pre-52 jason is around 20/21, since he was 19 at the end of his run (and 17 when it started; he has his 18th birthday toward the beginning and explicitly says he’s 19 during the last arc). new 52 jason is the same age as ronnie during both story segments.

pre-52 stein seems like he is in his mid-forties during ronnie’s original run and vol. 2, then in his fifties/sixties during jason’s (though he doesn’t appear to have aged normally due to being an elemental for most of those in-between years). new 52 stein’s age is never stated but he seems closer to forties/fifties than sixties.

lorraine is a few years older than ronnie (18/19 when he’s 17ish, then continuing relatively normally) and is in her mid-thirties by jason’s run. no new 52 data available for her.

gehenna states that she is 17 when jason is 19, so she’s 16 when they meet while he’s 18. i feel weird about her aging but at least she is mentally and physically a teenager even though she had advanced aging. still don’t like the jokes about it. no new 52 data available for her.

mikhail’s age isn’t properly stated but he’s probably in his thirties in ronnie’s run in order to be in his late forties/early fifties in jason’s run. your mileage may vary with that since it’s the most speculative. no idea how old he’s supposed to be in the new-52, maybe forties.)
