{~I'm very serious with you guys interacting with my writing!!!! it would make me so happy & excited, the more comments & reposts the more inspiration i have to write :) likes and comments are strongly appreciated so please COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMEENNTTT the more comments the more content <3!!!~}

“So if he said no gifts why are you still getting him a gift” Mira questioned over the phone while she sat in her & Randy’s shared living room working on her nails while Delilah huffed in the kitchen over the speaker why she made the babies lunch “Cody likes being the gift giver & I want him to start getting used to get gifts as-well. All I got him so far was a painting of our wedding dance but he deserves more!” Mira scrunched her face and smiled “Easy! Fuck em’ You do it anyways”

Delilah rolled her eyes while watching Matthew & Mirabella play in their playpin while she finished cutting up their food into their regular age appropriate bite sized chunks “Mira C’monn.” The red head grinned over the phone before sighing in relief her nail polish came out perfectly “Go to the mall Delilah, get a little lingerie set in a color he likes you in the most & a little side gift with that.” The blonde girl awkwardly bit her lip before taking the babies to their high chairs & feeding them their lunch “I don’t think that would be a good idea, thats a bit more revealing than I’m used too“ Mira hummed in disagreement “Bullshit, you’ve been full on naked in front of him more than 1000 times right now. How else do you think you got pregnant last year.”

“True. It just seems so..scandalous too me though, with the lingerie getup.” Mira listened intently “Not more scandalous than having out of marriage sex while trying to live up to your religious standards.” Lilah smiled to herself a little bit before checking the time “I’m gonna head out now while he’s still getting Kinsley. I’ll talk to you later.” She had hung up & got the babies in their car seats in her own car before locking up the doors & getting in & driving.

20 minutes after getting to the mall Lilah awkwardly stared at the Victorias Secret store & looking at the comic store right across from it “in & out.” She muttered before pushing the stroller before quickly grabbing a baby pink lingerie set in her size while rushing towards the register. A young woman was pushing charging Delilah while smiling “This is cuute” Lilah smiled back as she paid “Thank you, have a good day.”

Meanwhile hours later Cody & Kinsley were back at the house, The 12 year old sat at the table working on her homework while Cody tidied up a little before becoming bored of the babies & his wife out and about, “Did Lilah ever tell you she had plans today before I took you to school?” Kinsley smiled shrugging to herself “Nope, try calling her pr something.” Around 2 seconds later Lilah huffed as she entered the house with the babies & hiding random shopping bags in the stroller “Home!” Cody approached her pointing towards the bags while giving her a welcoming kiss “Those better not be for me.” She pouted a little bit before setting the babies in the play pen while he followed behind her “Codes we stalked about this..” he hummed in agreement while gently tickling Matthew & Mirabella’s tummies “Mhmm~ we did and I recall me telling you under no circumstances you need to buy me gifts love” Lilah rolled her eyes and patting Kinsley’s back “Did’ya eat dinner yet?” The younger girl nodded to herself while grabbing her homework “ate dinner, I’m gonna be in my room & go to bed.” She nodded with a smile while Cody stood leaning against the kitchen archway with crossed arms “Gorgeous you know how I feel when you get me gifts.” She furrowed her expression while wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her chin on his chest while looking up at him with her sweet little doe eyes “I don’t like it when you don’t get anything in return, Especially on your own day.” He smiled down at her softly before raising her hand up towards his lips to press a kiss against her little fist while she stared at him through her lashes “Can I at least show you after I feed the babies & put them too bed?”

He stared at her briefly before pressing a kiss into her forehead “Do what you need to do love, I’m gonna check up on Pharaoh.” She smiled nodding before taking care of the babies for the next few hours, Bathing them, Feeding them, reading to them, tucking them both into slumber and giving them all of her love while kissing their plump little cheeks before shutting their nursery door, setting his Birthday cake she had to buy in the fridge & setting up the bedroom by putting to drinking glasses filled with champagne on each side of the beside tables before nervously putting on the lace set she bought earlier in the day in front of the mirror.

Cody walked in the room to grab something before diverting all of his attention to his sweet girl whose blonde curls laid delicately on her shoulders “Well aren’t you the sweetest thing.” He hugged her from behind while she curled her lips up slightly before turning her head to see him up close “see? Just wanted to look pretty for you.” He pressed adoring kisses around her face, neck & shoulders “Your already so pretty for me doll, you trying to kill me?” He grinned while nibbling on the nape if her neck before looking around to see the champagne glasses before running his fingers through her hair “All this for me? I must be a deserving man” he teased before sitting on the edge of the bed while Delilah smiled and crawled herself right onto of his lap” “You like it?” He chuckled before rolling them both over and kisses down to her chest & stomach “I love it pretty girl.” He teased while biting at her lace panties & teasing her wet spot “cccodyy..”

Delilah whine while he would tease her lace covered pussy “What is it princess? Hm?” He faked his pout as his lips curled into a smirk, he finally pushed her panties to the side, Cody eventually sat up & undressed himself in front of her, the moment he leaned down her hands grazed down his arms to his stomach “Your so handsome.” She breathed out while the two kissed each other in a partially sloppy manner as he sat her legs up a little bit while his hands ran up her waist “so pretty” his words poured out of his mouth while her hands held his arms “I love you so much.” Delilah sighed out while he pushed himself inside of her in-between her thighs. He burrowed his head in her neck letting out moans every now and then while she was busy keeping quiet and releasing any choked up breaths while kissing his cheek profusely he rolled his hips into hers & lifted his head while forcing her to look back at him “so f-fucking gorgeous.” He whined while she scattered hickeys around his upper body while he continued thrusting into her feeling her pussy clench around him, Cody squeezed his hands into her skin while his head went limp against her chest letting out short whimpers that vibrated against her skin “f-feels so good baby.”

She muttered before he flipped her onto her stomach with her ass held up in-front of him, He thrusted back inside of her and ran his hands down her back and scooping her up against his chest as he continued fucking her “how’re you feeling beautiful” he mumbled into her ear as his hand slid down in-between her legs & toying with her clit as Delilah let out a needy moan & pressing her ass further against him “t-taking my cock so good for me princess” he groaned before halting his thrusts and just kept her sitting on his dick while he teased her clit while she cried & mewled scratching her nails against his arms while her hips buckled upwards while he groaned at the tightened feeling around his dick inside of her. “Babby~..” he shushed her before kissing the shell of her ear before continuing on with his thrusts & eventually cumming deep inside of her & nearly painting her insides white.

She moaned into the pillow as her hips shook once she realized Cody wasn’t planning on stopping for a few more minutes, they both laid on their sides under the blankets while he held her softly & still slowly thrusting in & out of her “f-fuck cody..!” She whined before he pouted against her neck & left soothing kisses against her skin “just a little bit longer sweetheart~” his words staggering as he decided to no longer move at the moment. Delilah’s body went limp against his and straight into his arm. He smiled softly as he rubbed her back “thank you for the birthday g-“ she looked up interrupting him “T-Theres cake for you in the fridge & a big gift bag in the closet from me & the kids.” She whispered while he grinned ear to ear and leaned into their pillows “sweetheart you didn’t have to.” She removed body from his and wrapped around the blankets “go get some cake first & open your gift.” Cody huffed tiredly while getting out of the bed & cleaning them both up before he put on any clothes, he took the next 7 minutes to get then some cake to share in bed, he set the plate on her bed side table for a hot second before going in the closet as she instructed & stood frozen as he looked at the large painting of the twos first dance together at their wedding, he looked down seeing multiple sweet treats that he liked to have as snacks next to the bottoms of the photo.

He walked back into the room & made his way on the bed “It’s beautiful sweetheart.” He spoke to her in a gently tone while she smiled to herself and held a fork with some cake on-top of it “Happy birthday Cody.” She teased while he let out a defeated chuckle as he took the bite of cake.

A tiny, pastel, marbled gargoyle was suddenly on the pile of rolls, using most of her body to cover one, then vanishing with another pop. The roll vanished with her.

Cassius looked torn between a smile and consternation. “Rosie.”

[realismreading]

Winters on the mainland

“So where do you want to see first?” Billy asked, swanning into the kitchen as Arsinoe feasted on a small mound of toast.

“I’ve seen it all.” Arsinoe said, swallowing her last piece of toast and reclining on her chair slightly. 

“You haven’t.” Billy frowned. 

“Are we forgetting the time I spent here before all the island bullshit?” Arsinoe asked. 

Billy’s eyes softened and Arsinoe suddenly felt sick. He was trying to avoid mentioning what had happened last winter previously. Jules had been Queen Crowned half a year already, with a summer ceremony for her coronation. It had given the island time to repair itself a bit. Arsinoe had only gone back to the island for that. 

Arsinoe could not bear to go back for long enough to see what had changed. Change was good, but it hurt that it was at the expense of Arsinoe’s loss. 

I was not supposed to live this long, she thought. She had known for years now that she was the weakest triplet. 

At least Katharine had developed a knowledge for toxins and poisons. She had learnt to be sly and charming, everything a poisoner should be. 

Arsinoe was a mediocre poisoner with a blood tie to a bear that weakened every day that passed without being on the island. Her gift was still under her skin and in the shadows of her mind, clinging to her now that the mist was gone. A part of Arsinoe believed that it was the Goddess’ parting present to the last of her line. 

I shouldn’t be here. Kat and Mira ... they deserved to live. 

Arsinoe knew that Jules and Billy desperately wanted her to talk about her sisters. She had barely mentioned them at all since Mirabella’s body had been found and she had been sent out to sea with Katharine on boats lit alight with elemental fire. 

The island had been hesitant to give Katharine such a kind memorial, but once they had the full story of what had happened to her, there were a few who were more sympathetic to her cause. 

Arsinoe had never spoken of them. In all these months, she had not said their names. 

How did Arsinoe talk about the other two halves of her soul when they were not here to fill in the gaps? How did she describe the loss she felt when she did not even understand it herself?

Mira was the one with the memories. Kat was the one with the overwhelming love for her sisters that caused her to sacrifice herself for Arsinoe. 

“Let’s get some hot chocolate.” Billy said, breaking the silence. 

Arsinoe frowned. “Hot chocolate?”

“Have you never had it?” Billy asked. “Get your coat and boots on, I’ve got to take you to the market this instant.” 

Arsinoe reluctantly dragged herself out of her seat, did as Billy asked and followed him out of the door. 

She got the same stares she usually did out in public. Her old bear scars had long since turned pink. The crisp air sometimes dried her skin to the point where she could feel them if her expression changed. 

Mainlanders were not as used to her scars as naturalists. She sometimes forgot that. 

Arsinoe had purposefully left her mask on her nightstand in the Milone house. It carried many memories of her life before the Ascension. Arsinoe yearned for it sometimes. Simple summers and cosy winters, lazy autumn days and busy spring mornings. 

She and Jules had found brooks and ponds to swim or dip their toes into on days where they went hiking. They had picked apples and pears and berries and brought baskets of them home to Cait for her to use in pies and pasties. She would sometimes sell them on market days. 

The people of Wolf Spring had known Arsinoe not as just a queen, but as one of them. A girl with a best friend and a penchant for raising cain. 

“Here.” Billy gently put a hand on between Arsinoe’s shoulder blades to guide her towards a stall on the high street. 

She held back while he paid a vendor for two large cups of steaming hot liquid. Billy handed one to her and smiled. Arsinoe’s heart did that little thing that it did sometimes. Billy was the only one who seemed to invoke it in her, though she’d never tell him that. 

“Give it a second to cool down and taste it.” Billy encouraged. He surveyed the street in front of them, full of mainlanders going about their days in their ridiculous, restrictive clothing. 

Arsinoe was still getting used to their customs, and had not bothered to try and conform to their standards, wearing her comfortable linen shirts and thick cotton trousers, tough leather boots and jacket. They were lovingly made from Wolf Spring. They looked and smelt like home. 

“Let’s go to see Jospeh.” Arsinoe said. 

Billy nodded. “Good idea. Let’s get some roasted chesnuts to take up there.” 

“Billy ...” Arsinoe trailed off, putting a hand on Billy’s arm. He looked at her, and Arsinoe melted a little. “There’s a reason I want to go up to Joseph.”

“What is it?” 

“You want me to talk about my sisters.” Arsinoe said. “Joseph knew two of us. He ... he never met Kat. As kids, he knew I loved her, and that was enough for him. He probably wouldn’t have liked what she became when she grew up, but he would’ve told me to stop being a coward and talk to the people I cared about when I lost her.”

“Syn-”

“I’ll visit Jules in the new year. It’s only right. But having Jospeh with me - though I don’t agree with some of his decisions - will help. I still love him as a brother. He’ll help me.” 

Billy’s lips quirked up in a smile. “Let’s go to see Jospeh. You can tell me all about them.” 

As they trekked towards the graveyard, Arsinoe found that each breath seemed a little less heavy. The idea of people remembering her sisters as more than the Martyred Queens - as they were now being called - was comforting.

They had been sixteen, just like Arsinoe, forced into circumstances that no one should have usually been in. And they were expected to do the unthinkable without ever acknowledging that there had been three little queens in the first place. 

Arsinoe missed them. But missing them with someone else was better than missing her sisters on her own. 

So she breathed, and looked to the horizon, felt the wind in her air and smelt the herbs and spices of various concoctions, thought of her sisters and sent a small prayer to the Goddess in the hopes that She would keep Mirabella and Katharine safe until Arsinoe was reunited with them again.

20 to 20: 2021 Holiday Special - Day 13 (TDC)

Second one today for catch up. This one is less sad than this morning’s, promise

Waiting for a Miracle

Arsinoe was not an envious person, and she was secure enough to not get jealous, but she also hated being left behind to fade into the background. Which is notably how she feels most of the time when she is with her siblings.

Her sisters are kind and gorgeous and powerful and perfect.

And Arsinoe was none of those things.

She had never had a gift flourish. She couldn’t summon wildfires and cyclones, nor could make entire fields of flowers bloom in seconds. She wasn’t even immune to the potions her mother ingested and she wasn’t able to naturally fall into healing. And noting made her more aware of that than Beltane, where what felt like the entirety of Fennbirn (and some Mainlanders as well) flocked to watch her mother and sister’s perform insane feats.

And it was Arsinoe’s sixteenth Beltane, which means she couldn’t feign sickness as she had in previous years.

She was fully ready to have an absolutely miserable time. Because when she wasn’t being overlooked, she was cast pitying looks and empty reassurances that “one day your gift would come” which was absolute bullshit and everyone knew it, but as a Queen, she was only allowed to smile and accept the empty promises.

But it’s fine, she’s fine. She just tries to be gracious and support her sisters, which was still kind of fun. Or at least, her sisters are kind enough to make it fun.

Her mother is convinced this year will be different, but it makes no difference, Arsinoe still has to go, suitors still have to vie for the hands of the three queens (which Arsinoe was so overjoyed at the idea of) and Beltane goers still had to pretend they respected her when both sides of the conversation knew that was not even a possibility at this point.

Yeah, she was done hoping.

~

The first night of Beltane came and Arsinoe and her sister were presented to the arriving Mainland suitors. They all climbed the cliffside to come and bow in front of the young Queens. After the fifth suitor bowed in front of both her sisters but her, Kat’s hand, hidden by the skirts of her dress, wraps around Arsinoe’s. Arsinoe squeezes back tight.

The final suitor of thirteen finally comes up the cliffside and at this point Arsinoe is rightfully enraged and hurt. She may not need validation from men, but Goddess she was embarrassed to not have a single person bow to her, as if she wasn’t worth the respect that her sisters held, as if she wasn’t just as much of a contributor to her community.

But the suitor climbed the cliffside and awkwardly ran a hand through his sand coloured hair, as if he felt just as awkward in this situation. He watches the three of them for a beat before walking along the grass.

He bows only for her and her heart stops for a beat in time with the crowd gasping. The suitor looks up and shoots her a grin and a wink and she can’t control the one side of her mouth that tilts up for the first time that night as he moves on and her and her sisters are let down from their stage.

Mirabella wraps an arm around her shoulder and Kat’s arm came to rest at her waist and the world felt for the first time, wide open for her.

Let’s Talk Books - Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Let me start off by saying that this is a book that I’ve been wanting to read for a very, very long time.  When I first got back into reading three years ago after taking some time off, this had just come out and it seemed like everyone on booktube was talking about it.  I never got around to it until now, and I am genuinely glad I did.

If you don’t know, Three Dark Crowns is about a magical island ruled by powerful queens.  These queens are born as triplets, split up at birth and sent to foster families to hone their abilities.  When they turn sixteen, they meet again and begin the Ascension year, where one will have to kill the other two to become the true queen and begin their reign over the island.

The three queens for this story are Mirabella, Arsinoe, and Katharine.  Mirabella is the favorite to win, even though Katharine is being fostered by the same group whose queens have won for the past three generations, and that group wants her to win at all costs.

Three Dark Crowns is the first of four books that follow this set of triplets, and there are two other novellas out there that follow different queens.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although it was not at all what I was expecting.  When reading the synopsis, I assumed it would start off right at the beginning of the Ascension year, where they’re all trying to kill each other, but the Ascension year doesn’t even start until the very end of the book.  This book is all about the three queens preparing for the ceremony to start the year, and how they are going to try to seem powerful in front of the whole island, when they may not be gifted at all.

The characters in this book are all well written, there wasn’t really one queen that I was rooting for.  Going into the next books, I honestly don’t want any one of them to die, and I’m going to be sad if they don’t figure out a way around their fate.  The pacing was good and comfortable, a nice medium pace not too full of action, but not boring either.  All in all, a very good start to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one, One Dark Throne.

4/5 stars. 

Now onto some spoilers 

This book was a lot more brutal than I was expecting.  When I think of YA, I don’t think of getting hands stabbed to trees, mauled by bears, and having a 16 year old’s hand chopped off.  Not to mention, the scene where they were trying to kill Arsinoe and cut off her arms was absolutely vicious.  

The love triangle between Mirabella, Jules, and Joseph was one of those rare love triangles that I can actually understand why it’s happening, yet at the same time it frustrates me.  When Mirabella and Joseph had sex on the beach it was like “Wait, what?” Because she just pulled him out of the ocean!!  Like Joseph you should be weak, and not having sex with this girl, also you have Jules at home!  And then when Jules finds out it’s just like, “C’mon girl, you deserve better.  You haven’t even seen him for five years, you don’t need to put up with this bullshit.” Both Jules, and Mirabella deserve better.  All three of these characters are just not making smart decisions, and I’m not into it at all.

I want to talk about sort of the “mother figures” for all three of the girls for a moment.  Natalia, I was not expecting to like at all.  That first chapter where Katharine fails the Gave Noir and then has to lay in her own vomit was just brutal and I was thinking that Natalia would be abusive and unlikable.  But then it’s sort of revealed that Natalia actually really does care for Katharine, and even the moment in the dungeons where she advocates for mercy for the boy and gives him a painless death, you start to see her softer side.  And when she told Katharine to eat all the food at the second Gave Noir, I was thinking it was because she’d rather have her die of poisoning than be murdered by the priestesses, but then she says “And trust that there will be no poison,” and my heart just swelled because it shows how much she actually does care about Katharine, and not just so she keeps her power.

Luca, on the other hand.  Fuck Luca.  First for keeping Mirabella guarded at all times, like give the girl some breathing room for real.  Then for wanting to cheat and just straight up murder Arsinoe and Katharine, she says it’s to protect Mirabella, but really it’s just for her own selfish reasoning.  I always get really upset when a character is being used like Luca is using Mirabella, and keeping them in the dark about everything.

My jury is still out on Madrigal.  On one hand, I like that she taught Arsinoe some low magic to give her a chance, but on the other hand, was it irresponsible?  And then her sleeping with Matthew at the end...that just felt very very out there and I’m hoping that it alludes to something more because it just felt so random.

The big plot twist at the end of Arsinoe being a poisoner - I saw that coming from miles away.  Kind of.  Way back within the first few chapters, I remember reading about familiars, and Katharine’s snake, Sweetheart, and wondering if Sweetheart was her familiar. I wondered if the reason that Arsinoe and Katharine were both giftless, was because they were just being trained for the wrong gift.  Turns out it’s true for Arsinoe, and I’m curious now to see if she will go to the Arrons and actually start training for it.  Also wtf is up with Katharine?  Little girl is kind of a freak now and it’ll be interesting to find out how she survived the fall.

I’m probably going to pick the next book up soon because I’m pretty much dying to know what’s going to happen next.  Until next time.

9. Se vi faccio a tutti così schifo

Episode 9 of the Skam Italia S1 analysis! We’re almost at the end of the season already. This time, read my rants about a mysterious guy called Magistrali, Marti and Eva’s friendship and my refuted headcanons. As usual the Bechdel test result are at the end!

“What are you doing?” Silvia is all of us

girls, if only Eva has an headache, how on earth would you all be able to determine whether Sana’s doorkeeper’s technique works or not?

also, Sana has a doorkeeper, which points to 💰💰💰 just like Marisol does for the Fareses

Eva is caught off guard by Silvia’s question just like she was in ep.8 by her mother’s question: she genuinely forgot about the Edoardo thing, she must be focused on school, Giovanni and avoiding the worst consequence of the narrative of the cheating whore that has spread about her at school; on top of that, she expected Eleonora’s reaction when Edoardo followed her on IG and DMed her, which is why she warned her (see the messages from May 18th), not from Silvia who has no reason to know anything

except that Silvia is super aware of the social situation at school, so of course she’s always up to date with all the gossip that goes around, she was the one to tell the girls Federico had cheated on Alice, remember? And if it hadn’t been for the thing with Edoardo, she would have been the one to know about Alice hitting Federico during gym class in ep.7

EVA! Oh, darling,when Silvia asks what you and Edoardo talked about, you can’t look at Eleonora (even though she knows what you talked about) and then pretend you don’t remember! Eva is so bad at lying OMG

Silvia’s bullshit-o-meter is good, running smoothly and perfectly calibrated, except she only uses it when it suits her: she mostly doesn’t want to acknowledge it, like with Laura in ep.1 or with Edoardo, because it confirms all her worst fears about herself, that the popular people she admires so much don’t want her in their midst, on their level; but here Eva has a super low social standing (especially now) so Silvia has no problem confronting her about lying

it’s laundry day and all the dirty secrets that were on the bottom of the closets are being aired out

so on Monday May 14th there was the discussion with Laura outside of Eva’s classroom, which Silvia saw, and Eva gave her a super evasive explanation; on Friday May 18th Edoardo gave Eva a lift; now it’s Monday 21st and Silvia talked to Laura the night before: she clearly wasn’t convinced by Eva’s words from the beginning, but did at what point did the mysterious Magistrali tell her about Eva and Edo? Was it before she talked to Laura, was that the last straw? Or did Silvia talk to Laura first, and then spoke to Magistrali that day at school? Cause those are pretty different situations

btw if you check the chats, Silvia is suspiciously absent from the group chat that weekend, which would point more towards the first case, but if so then Magistrali must have contacted her specifically to tell her about seeing Eva with Edo during the weekend

who’s this Magistrali guy btw? Who is he for Silvia to trust him as a solid source? Who is he to be interested and involved in the whole drama with Silvia and Edoardo, how does he know?

on top of that, I get Silvia believing Laura, she had and has a lot of sway over Silvia, but why does she unquestioningly believe Magistrali? A guy?  Who we never heard of before? Instead of her girls?? Lots of questions, no answers

hate to agree with Edoardo Incanti himself, but Silvia should really not blindly trust all the rumors

Sana is so fiercely loyal, she’s literally a lioness with her cubs when it comes down to her friends

and just like Ele she does not stand for her friends being insulted because of their sex lives with misogynistic words infused with patriarchal connotations

even when Silvia is faced with evidence that she should not believe everything she hears when she hears the full story of the incident at Chicco Rodi’s party from Sana, she still only begins to doubt that Laura is the one holding all the truths

the thing is, if Eva went with Edo, that puts Silvia, in her mind, in the same position and at the same level as Laura, so it’s a chance to get back to a higher level of popularity, cause Silvia’s reputation has been dragged in the mud because of her confronting Edo about the wall of shame and because of her association with Eva; little does it matter that Laura and everyone else doesn’t see it that way, cause Silvia was only dating Edoardo in her mind and because it’s not like a boy cheating on you automatically makes you as popular as another, cooler girl who was cheated on as well

Silvia’s mind is so convoluted, I blame you entirely, Francesca Mirabella (not true, there are definitely some problems with the parenting there too)

“Shit, you’re my friend, I’d never do that to you” because Laura wasn’t your friend Eva? I get you’re word vomiting anything that comes to mind that might help you, but this really doesn’t

“SilviaH, mi credi?” should have prepared us for “MartinoH, guardami MartinoH”

Eleonora’s incredulous head shake

Sana and Eleonora are Eva’s real Parent Friends with the looks™, just look at Sana sigh then look at Ele and then at Eva

there is a pretty high chance that Silvia is the one that mobilized Federica to find out why they weren’t invited to the end-of-school party, I mean, she already had her Revenge Dress™ ready, she had been thinking about it three weeks earlier cause that was gonna be her 1994!Diana moment with Edoardo

would you look at that? Martino, who snubbed Rocco Martucci’s party, still knows enough to be able to tell Eva a) who’s organizing the party b) that Maria is Alice’s best friend c) that the whole Federico debacle is the reason for the missed invite

I don’t know what hurts more: Marti’s “Scusami” after Eva’s tirade or Eva’s “No, I’m sorry, I’m not mad at you”

I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS FRIENDSHIP! I can’t decide how long Marti and Eva have been friends, if it started when they were kids, kind of like with Marti and Gio, so they were a trio of sorts, except then they became tweens and suddenly girls were gross so Eva was left behind until they ended up in the same class in high school, so they got closer again, at first just as friendly classmates, then as proper friends when the Laura-Gio-Eva thing begun; or if Eva and Marti simply met in high school cause they ended up in the same class and at some point the professors decide they absolutely had to keep Rametta far from Garau and Brighi far from Pandakovic because they were alway distracted and talking so Eva and Marti ended up in sitting next to each other when the two couple of BFFs were switched and they became close then (while Gio and Laura fell for each other); or if started even more recently, only after Gio started dating Laura, so basically while Marti and Eva were forced to third-and-fourth wheel, except then would he know her better enough to say “You wouldn’t have quit, before?” I NEED ANSWERS

“Eva, kick their asses!” EASY FOR YOU TO SAY YOU HYPOCRITE, I hope you went to church and confessed your sins before saying this kind of motivational shit, snake boy

I feel Eva taking deep breaths and talking herself into talking to Maria deep in my bones

btw, I’ve been wanting to say for a few episodes, but those mini skirts (both Eva’s in past episodes and Maria’s friends’) wouldn’t have been allowed at all in my high school, such bad representation!1!1!!1!

Maria Sorgato is such a mood! She’s a couple of weeks away from the maturità, she’s studying and revising like crazy, she’s organizing a huge party on top of that, she don’t got no time to follow the rumor mill, to keep track of people from other years or to specifically exclude people from parties

and she takes the time to give Eva semi-valuable advice anyways (which is pretty similar to what her BFF Alice told Eva at the party btw)! And she refuses to let her friends shame her for her sex life! An icon

and here we have another absolute ICON, Miss Federica Cacciotti, who should totally try her hand at the trapeze cause she definitely had to pull some stunning acrobatics to pull that off

I heard about that method Federica mentions actually: a friend of mine in uni treid it a couple of times to balance work and studying more easily, but she ended up being super stressed on the day of the exam because she didn’t feel confident in what she knew the exams always went poorly

Ele is really pissed off that Silvia doesn’t believe Eva, I think because she feels that after all the support they’ve been giving her, the least Silvia can do is give Eva the benefit of the doubt

noooo, what do you mean Silvia’s not talking to Fede?? They’re inseparable! And it totally invalidates my theory about Silvia having Fede write to Eva about the party bc of the 1994!Diana inspired revenge plan

Sana = the voice of reason, she’s seeing the signs (maybe because she’s seen the signs of breakdowns on other people before, albeit from afar?? *hint hint*)

this is the episode of Sana’s revelations, she’s kind of a deus ex machina

and now the big confrontation: Eva’s got something to say and enough blackmail material to force Laura to listen and she’s not gonna be stopped, dismissed or interrupted

noooo, there goes my theory about Eva Gio and Marti having known one another since primary school, since Eva says she didn’t know anyone when she started high school (💔 it was my fave theory)

on the other hand, I feel ya baby Eva, I too started liceo classico without knowing anyone in my class and only two people in the entire school 💖

on the other hand, let’s talk about Laura: she knew people, so she probably was already somewhat cool among them, and still she went out of her way to extend a hand to the new girl who knew nobody; she was kind and generous and nothing like the person we’ve seen until now. I struggled to believe Gio could have ever liked her up until this moment. The break-up and the resentment she held until this episode was like a poison and turned her into a pretty mean person, but I think that she’s not like that, deep inside.

or maybe she just saw potential in Eva to be the Karen to her Regina and Sara’s Gretchen so she went and befriended her and my theories are all shit

CAN WE TALK about how many of these kids mention not being able to sleep?? Eva has done it two times now, with her mom and with Laura now, Marti will soon start having troubles as well when his dad walks out and in S2 he will repeatedly say he’s been struggling with insomnia; I can’t specifically remember anyone else saying they’re not sleeping but I feel like Silvia or Gio might have said or implied something in past episodes: this is not normal, this is not healthy, at the very least their parents should all be making them drink gallons of chamomile tea!

so Gio and Laura were not doing good and Laura was thinking of breaking up with him already: what a perfectly textbook YA romance novel triangle, and what a perfectly teenager-ish, less-than-logical reason to hold a grudge for this long Laura had

and Eva is so great in this scene: she explains clearly what her thought process was, she takes responsibility for her actions, she apologizes but doesn’t ask to be forgiven and for everything to go back to what it was, aiming for an easier, more attainable goal

oh, and Alice is back, with as many anger management issues as always

Eva puts herself physically between Laura and Alice: she’s been there and she doesn’t want Laura to be on the other side of Alice’s slap

AND FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT EXPLICITLY: Federico is the asshole that goes around cheating systematically on girls, the girls themselves aren’t exactly blameless but they’re not the sole responsible people and they shouldn’t be treated as such

“I’m not able to break up with him” what does that mean?? You realize you’re in a toxic relationship, you ask for help and get the hell out of it as soon as possible! Queen Maria Sorgato, don’t tell me you’re too busy with school and stuff to help your best friend dump an asshole, please! Go support her!

Alice seems like an asshole, but she really simply doesn’t know how to channel her anger properly: she is honestly interested in how thing go for Eva and her boyfriend (even though she’s got the wrong man here), maybe because she empathizes more with him than with her, but let’s not forget that she talked with Eva about Gio before, so that might play a part in it, too

the earth literally falling out from under Eva’s feet as soon as Alice says Martino’s name, the bottom of her stomach dropping, the breath being punched out of her lungs, oh my God

Bechdel test: this episode passes the test, thank God these girls start dealing with their messes without boys and shit finally gets done.

This post is part of my complete series of meta about Skam Italia season 1.  If you’d like to read more of my thoughts about the other episodes, you can find the mastepost linked in the top bar on my blog under SKAMIT: EVA. Cheers!

random thoughts on Two Dark Reigns (so far)

Okay I’m exactly 200 pages in and I have some ThoughtsTM i gotta share. Spoilers under the cut, obviously.

okay, so first of all, I’m glad we got the confirmation that Kat was possessed by like 500 dead queens in One Dark Throne because although it was implied that was the case, I just wanted to be sure. However, I was not expecting her to still be possessed by them but she, surprisingly and interestingly, still is. I wonder how that will play into the plot....... besides making her *cough cough* impulsively murder people *cough cough*

*Bree exists* sNAP hER NeCK like talk about intrusive thoughts am i right

although poor Kat, having only these dead queens as her friends

I’m still missing Natalia, none of this bullshit would be standing if she was here.

also, this stuff with Queen Illiann is interesting. I’m not through the whole book, but does Daphne... betray her? usurp her? or something? Else why would a queen who was sure of her crowning from the moment of her birth have ‘unfinished business’??? Because I don’t think she’s just trying to make Mirabella and Arsinoe go back to the island so they can be dead as they should be.... something’s definitely fishy with the past

also, I’m glad Kendare is taking full advantage of the Aesthetically Creepy MistTM that surrounds Fennbirn, because what’s creepier than that mist bringing you dead bodies by the boatful?

Speaking of the mist, I’m glad we’re finally going into what the outside world thinks of Fennbirn - or rather how they don’t, except in legends and stories. because, as we see, that wasn’t always the case - Fennbirn was taken off the maps, for some reason and somehow. Who did that? Was it something Queen Illian did, since she created the Magical Mist, with the help of a mainlander? but how? and why???

Okay, a point I’m confused on: Does Mrs Chatworth know Arsinoe and Mirabella are the (uncrowned) queens of Fennbirn? Because she doesn’t act like she knows that. She doesn’t really seem to like them and, idk, if she knew they were the queens she - or her husband, at least - had sent Billy to pay court to, then... wouldn’t she be more... idk, courteous? or at least more interested in them, instead of just wishing they would blend in more?

like who the hell did Billy say they were then? He’s got to have told her they were the two other queens, or how else would he explain why he escaped the island with two girls and a dead body in tow

oooohhh.... or maybe she doesn’t like them because she’s working with someone on the island, an Arron or something. No, but the women on the mainland are supposedly kept out of all that stuff. But maybe a visiting woman from Fennbirn recruited her to help, without her husband’s knowledge? Ehhh no but Chatworth Sr was working with the Arrons too so..... probably not.

Speaking of which, when are they gonna find out he’s dead

LOVE stubborn Arsinoe wearing her trousers and jacket to the party haha. AND Billy telling Christine ‘no, I’d rather have a girl. with a smart mouth. who only wears only trousers’ I may or may not have died at that point

and him telling her ‘you look better in my clothes than I do’ it’s too much Im loving it

please do not tell me there will be angst between them later on because I. Cannot. Take. It.

Now the main thing I really wanted to talk about: Jules and Emilia and Mathilde:

I really hope Jules doesn’t RISE TO BECOME THE LEGION QUEEN AND OVERTHROW KATHARINE/THE POISONERS because I really don’t want that to happen, it’s boring and cliche.

and JULES doesn’t even want it to happen! it’s just Emilia and Mathilde who want her to be the face for her revolution!!!!!

They’re like, super devoted to this, this whole vague prophecy thing how she was ‘once a queen and will be again’ (if it’s even real??? I feel like Mathilde may have made that up to sway Jules’s thoughts???)

So please Jules, don’t cave and go with their plans

you know you don’t really wanna be a queen

I hope it doesn’t happen because, like I said, it’s a kinda boring and cliche trope used in sooooooooooooo many YA books involving royalty/politics and the lack of that was WHAT! MADE! THIS SERIES! DIFFERENT!!!!

and I liked that!!!!!!!

@ kendare blake please please pleaaaaaase don’t. fucking. do that.

But, as I have a feeling that that’s where the book is going....... maybe at least uhhh Mathilde and Emilia can.... magically force Jules into it? Like, idk, use low magic or some oracle’s spell or some other power to make her their unwilling puppet

Because then THAT would be more interesting at least, because Jules wouldn’t really want to do this and would be fighting them internally too idk

I just don’t want Jules to head a revolution she never before cared about to depose kat and the poisoners please don’t happen please don’t happen that will be soooo boring and cliche and I will be so disappointed

I am afraid to keep reading the book because I’m afraid ^that’s going to happen :(

anyways, that’s all for now. hopefully.... hopefully the rest of the book is still good....

We’re on Fire (blow a kiss to the crowd) ~ TDC ~ Chapter 12

Getting close to the end folks!

Chapter 12 ~ No One Can Hurt You Now

~ District 10 ~

~ Arsinoe ~

The train moves quickly back towards home and Arsinoe dreads what she will find there. She was a killer and a monster, not someone who would be welcomed home with open arms, like Pietyr and the rest of the Capitol believes. She had blood on her hands and she can’t stop feeling it there. Not to mention the whole “seeing a rerun of killing one of her best friends every time she closes her eyes” thing. Needless to say, she hadn’t had a good nights sleep since the games and she doubts that that will go away any time soon. She spins the ring on her middle finger, a pricy but calming reward that Pietyr had given her with the money he had won for being her Capitol rep (the whole idea of which she thought was bullshit but if it made him happy she wasn’t going to question it.)

She finally sees the District 10 train station come into view and the train begins to slow. She kind of wants to throw up.

She stays standing at the window until the train stops. She takes in the people on the platform and swallows. Mirabella, Kat, Jules and Billy all stood there along with Grandpa Ellis and Grandma Cait. Suddenly she knows what she wants and when she hears the door hydraulics, she’s running.

The staff on the train don’t even have second to talk to her before she bolts out of the open door, her Capitol given vest blowing behind her. The platform is hard under her feet but she’s flying and crashing into Mirabella and Kat, hugging them as tightly as she possibly can. Both of them wrap their arms just as tightly around her and she smiles tearily into their shoulders.

“Hi,” Arsinoe says. Mirabella pulls away and cups Arsinoe’s face in her hands. Neither of them are dry-eyed and Mirabella pulls her back into a hug. Arsinoe’s eyes eventually find Jules and Billy over her sister’s shoulder and she steps away from her sisters and towards them. “I- I’m so sorry,” she says, her voice thick with tears that she is trying not to shed at the thought of Joseph. 

She prepares to be screamed at because she definitely deserves it, but it doesn’t come. Instead, Jules wraps her arms around her shoulders and hugs her fiercely. Billy wraps his arms around them both and they just stand there, holding each other until Arsinoe can calm the shaking in her shoulders.

Finally, she lifts her head from Jules’ shoulder. 

“Can we go home now, please? I’m exhausted,” she whispers, glad no one else was around. If she never felt another camera on her again it still wouldn’t be enough. Billy and Jules let go and the group moves towards the exit, Arsinoe following behind.

“We moved everything into the Victor’s Village yesterday so that is was homier when you got here,” Mirabella mentions and Arsinoe nods silently and let’s her sister move forward in the pack to lead everyone to the new house.

Arsinoe stays at the back and separates herself, letting the happier group continue their conversation. The Milone’s split off at the Town Square, Jules giving her a reassuring smile as she went. Arsinoe was glad to be home, honestly, but the last two weeks weighed on her more than she had initially thought it would and she barely managed a smile back.

“Hey,” Arsinoe snaps back into the present to realise Billy was walking beside her.

“Hi,” she says. The word hangs between them. Finally Billy clears his throat and speaks.

“The others didn’t want me to tell you about it, but the Sandrin’s are having a funeral for Joseph the day after tomorrow at the cemetery. You were his friend so I thought you deserved to know,” Arsinoe knows Billy doesn’t miss the hand that instinctually covers the fresh scar on her lower abdomen but she’s grateful that he doesn’t comment.

“How’s Annie?” Arsinoe asks. Billy lets out a heavy sigh.

“She’s not angry at you, if that’s what you’re asking.”

“She should be.” Arsinoe says. Billy is silent for a second.

“Annie is doing as well as she can. But most of the District is on your side. They think the way Joseph chose to win lacked decency.” Arsinoe sighed.

“I killed eight people. Joseph wasn’t the indecent one,” she says bitterly.

“We’ve forgiven you for that. All of it,” Billy says and Arsinoe finally looks at him.

“You shouldn’t.”

“Maybe, but we did,” Arsinoe watches him for a beat before letting her shoulders relax.

“Okay,” she says. The Victor’s Village comes into view and Arsinoe swallows nervously. 

“Oh by the way,” Billy says and Arsinoe turns to see a wide, shit-eating, grin on his face. “I found your interview with Christophe Arron interesting.” Arsinoe frowns. She hadn’t said anything of note during the interview she was forced into after she was crowned Victor two days ago.

“Which one?”

“The one where you happened to admit you were in love with me,” Arsinoe stalls. That interview had felt so long ago, but now embarrassment bought a flush to her face and she shoved Billy off the side of the path.

“Fuck off!” She groans but she’s smiling and so is he. Billy comes back onto the path and swings an arm around her shoulders as they enter the village.

“I’m not going to press it, I just thought you should know that I feel the same,” they arrive at the house where the door was open and the sound of her sister’s came from inside. Billy squeezes her shoulder before pulling back.

“Mirabella made your favourite casserole. Go enjoy it with your sisters, Arsinoe,” and then he presses a kiss to her cheek and walks away, back down the way they had come. Arsinoe buries her burning face in her hands but at least she has a smile on her face when she enters the house.

Her sisters sit, chatting in the kitchen, steaming bowls of casserole on the table. Arsinoe leans against the wall and watches them for a beat. She was here and she was alive and in that moment, that didn’t feel like a bad thing.

Another World - TDC Holidays - Day 13

Um, can I just say that I’m sorry. And I changed some stuff based on the AU bc it was necessary.

TRIGGER WARNING: POISONING, MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH, DEATH OF A PET

DAY 13

AU: NATURALIST!ARSINOE / POISONER!KATHARINE

POV: UNDEFINED

The invitation for Arsinoe to attend a duel arrived on a sunny morning that had the Wolf Spring bunch start thinking that it would be a good day. The letter was simple, straight-forward:

To Her Highness Queen Arsinoe,

Queen Katharine requests your presence at Indrid Down arena on the first day of autumn for the sake of ending this Quickening year efficiently and with the correct queen on the throne.  

Formally,

The Black Council

Arsinoe had scoffed at the letter and passed it to Ellis on the left at the breakfast table before reaching down and feeding a piece of toast to her Rottweiler Braddock, who snapped it up happily.

“Can I ask why you seem completely nonplussed at the idea that your sister wants to kill you?” Ellis asks quietly as he passes the note to Cait, who passes it to Jules, who looks like she’s about to start crying.

“I’ve known she wanted to kill me for ages, this is just a new level of unhinged. So what?” Arsinoe said, resting a hand on her shepherd’s head. Jules looked like she might have wanted to argue but Arsinoe stood up and stretched. “Alright, let’s go inform the guys, I’m sure they would love to hear all about my deranged sister,” Braddock lept up and began to walk by her side towards the door and Jules followed with Camden on their heels.

“Isn’t Billy away seeing said deranged sister?”

“No, he got back last night,” Arsinoe answers as they leave the house. Jules smirked and knocked shoulders with Arsinoe.

“And how do you know that?” Jules asks teasingly and watches as Arsinoe’s ears turn red.

“No reason.”

“Oh shut up, you could not have been any clumsier climbing back in through the window last night,” Jules laughs and Arsinoe shoves her.

“Shut up.”

They walk in loose conversation after that until they finally are walking up the path to the Sandrin house. Jules knocks and Joseph opens the door with a smile. He slides on his boots as Billy appears at his shoulder.

“Hey,” Jules lets Joseph hug her and both pretend they don’t see Billy press a kiss to Arsinoe’s lips. It was a new development and they wouldn’t embarrass their friends (too much that is).

“So,” Arsinoe begins, “do you want to hear about my deranged sister’s latest bullshit?”

~

The arena was packed with people on the day of the duel. It was enough to send Arsinoe’s stomach turning, just slightly and she was loath to let go of Jules or Billy’s hands. They were waiting underneath in a small room where Arsinoe strapped two knives to her thighs and covered her gauntlets with a harsh swath of thorns.

“Are you okay?” Billy asks softly, running a finger down her cheek. Arsinoe leans in and presses their forehead together before taking a deep breath.

“Other than the fact that I’m about to either commit murder or die, yeah I’m alright,” she kisses his cheek.

“You won’t die. You’ll be Queen Crowned by the afternoon,” he says softly.

“We’ll see.”

~

Queen Katharine was standing tall in the arena when Arsinoe entered to the sound of cheers. They curtsied to each other as is custom and waited for the other to make a move, circling the arena on quick feet. Arsinoe tried to look confident, but she wasn’t really comfortable with the idea of killing anyone, if she was being honest. And yes, she is well aware that a battle Royale is not the time or place for a debate of morality, but here she is.

Katharine lunges first, a knife appearing from inside her sleeve. Arsinoe dodges and punches her in the side, wincing at the bloody punctures she left with her thorned gauntlet. Braddock leaps and latches his teeth into her shoulder, using the grip to pull her to the ground. There’s a loud crack, like a bone shattering as she yelps in pain and Arsinoe has to step back and breathe. She really doesn’t want to kill but she doesn’t want to die either.

She gives Katharine a moment to stand back up and ignores the blood trailing down her younger sisters side or the limp way her right arm hangs. Katharine spits some blood out and scowls.

“You bitch,” she growls out.

“Pot, Kettle, sister,” Arsinoe returns and Katharine growls again and lunges again, but instead of her knife finding home in Arsinoe, she lodges it firmly in Braddock’s neck before ripping it out and letting the blood spray everywhere. Arsinoe screams and moves towards her dying familiar and at that exact moment, every flower in Indrid Down dies. Arsinoe didn’t even registering the fresh knife Katharine grabs before it’s buried in her side and ripped out again.

She feels something in her legs and then nothing and then she’s hitting the ground, her head bouncing off the dirt. Katharine leans down and drives her shoe into the stab wound.

“Enjoy the slow paralysis and death, darling sister. And… say hello to Mirabella for me, will you?” She says mockingly and then walks away, the crowded arena following her and leaving the fallen queen behind.

She lays there alone until her hips and stomach go numb and that is when Jules, Joseph and Billy rush into the arena.

“Oh, Arsinoe,” Jules says, sounding like she might cry. She sits on the arena floor and manages to move Arsinoe into her lap and arms and tries to ignore the groan of pain her best friend lets past her lips. “You’re okay, you’re gonna be fine, I promise,” she says, brushing Arsinoe’s overgrown bangs back from her eyes. Arsinoe grabs her hand and holds it.

“I’m gonna die, Jules. It’s… fuck, I don’t want to die,” she says and feels tears fall down her cheeks as she watches her hand come loose from Jules, her hands and forearms numb and immobile. “I really don’t want to die, not like this,” she whispers before involuntarily releasing a loud sob. She looks over Jules’ shoulder to where Joseph and Billy stand, both looking heartbroken and then buries her head in Jules neck and cries softly as her upper arms and shoulders go. “Can I look at the sky, please?” She asks finally and Jules moves her so she can comfortably see up towards the clear blue autumn sky.

“I want you guys to know that I love you all and please…” she takes a moment to breathe shakily, “… don’t miss me too much, just live your lives best as you can,” she hears Jules sob and watches Billy circle to sit beside them. She can’t feel it, but she knows he’s taken her gauntlet off to hold her hand.

“I love you,” he says, kissing her forehead. She doesn’t tell him that his tears fell there. Her face paralyses next and all she can do is breathe and move her eyes to watch them. Billy strokes her hair and Jules holds her and Joseph moves Braddock over to lie with her.

When Queen Arsinoe of Fennbirn’s chest stops moving and her eyes glass over, she is staring at a blue sky.

TDC Characters as A:TLA + LOK characters

Hot Take: Legend of Korra was actually pretty good (except for that whole thing about Aang being a bad dad. Fuck that)

Bc I have binge-watched this for the first time ever, I’m procrastinating assignments and I can’t leave my room until I get my COVID test results back *shrugs*

Also I might do on of these where I just cover the TDC Characters and what bending they would have if ppl want it

Mirabella = Katara (ATLA)

Both are extremely powerful mum friends who are trying to be sweet but at the same time they’re friends make it so difficult. Also, has only ever killed one person (I think)

Kat = Azula and Ty Lee (ATLA)

This one is dependent on what mood she’s in. Possessed Kat is Azula (bc she’s about to celebrate becoming an only child lol) and will fuck you up. Non-possessed Kat is Ty Lee bc her aura is never any pinker and also lots of sisters

Joseph = Mako (LOK)

We all know his motivations for his actions but it still doesn’t excuse the fact that he needs to pull his head out and stop playing with the feelings of two women who can fuck him up

Billy = Asami (LOK)

Non-bender but still a badass. Billy is intelligent, apathetic, ride or die, doesn’t make enemies as easily as everyone else and has daddy issues™. Will fuck you up if you mess with the people he cares about.

Emilia = Suki and Mai (ATLA)

Both of them will fuck you up. I chose Suki bc badass warrior who has no time whatsoever for misogynistic bullshit and Mai bc she can be insanely hard to read at times and thus is usually misunderstood.

Pietyr = Zuko (ATLA)

Angst™. Is strong and just wants to get power and honour. Has the most noticeable redemption arc in the series (Zuko more than Pietyr but still)

Luke = Bolin (LOK)

Just wants his friends to be protected and happy. Also, the most underrated character in their series.

Also you may have thought I missed a couple of our fave TDC characters but here they are:

My hot take is that Jules = Avatar Korra and Arsinoe = Avatar Aang

Both have elements that they didn’t think originally have and are more powerful bc of it but the key difference can be seen in the ending episode of each show. While Aang chooses a more pacifist solution, Korra fistfights a fucking spirit gun bc why the fuck not?

Which of course means Camden = Naga and Braddock = Appa

Also Arsinoe = Toph

Fave. Feral. Powerful. Salty.
