thinking about how much Ty hates change & how he was visibly distressed when he thought Julian forgot about the pancakes but he's the one who most desperately wants Mark to take over from Julian. thinking about how Julian's first line in the series is that Ty & Livvy are eating wax and how his hands are covered in wax too. thinking about how Julian thinks of them as his children but they're the siblings closest in age to him, the brother and sister he was probably the closest to growing up

reading a Sanderson book is like. wow I can't wait to read the most fucked up insane sibling dynamic ever

Fairytale AU where a curse can be saved by love but when the love goes away the curse comes back.

Prince Steve was cursed shortly after his birth. He doesn’t know the full story, his parents refuse to talk about it, but he’s heard the rumours- the whispers among the castle staff. If he doesn’t fall in love by the time he turns 18, he will fall asleep one day and never wake up. Never dying, trapped in an eternal slumber.

He falls in love with Lady Nancy Wheeler at age 16, and the curse goes away. Steve stops feeling the tugging in his gut, the tingling in his spine, the fog in his head, the dreams - that he now realises to be the curse. Ever present. Waiting. Gone.

Nancy was considered a tolerable match by his parents so she was betrothed to Steve. A deal arranged with their parents. Talks that neither of them were invited to. Talks of the training that Lady Nancy would have to receive. The public appearances they’d have to make. Planning the wedding. Her moving to the palace - in her own suite of course. They don’t talk about the curse. Steve is in love after all, and he’s safe. The people can’t know their crown prince is cursed.

Nancy doesn’t feel safe. She is trapped. Trapped in a relationship that she likes, but doesn’t love. Trapped in a betrothal that makes a wedding feel more like a business transaction. She doesn’t want it. She doesn’t want to be trapped in a marriage with a man her parents arranged for her. She doesn’t want to turn out like her parents. She doesn’t want to move on and just forget Barb.

She isn’t in love with Steve. She’s falling for Jonathan. A sweet guy from the village. Not from the Noble’s Quarter like her, or the Castle like Steve. Jonathan is just himself. He gets her. That she doesn’t want to be a Lady, at the beck and call of Steve and his Advisers. She wants to travel, to learn, to investigate, to fight. She wants to make her own choices. She is betrothed to Steve when she sleeps with Jonathan for the first time.

Steve sees her and Jonathan together. Tommy and Carol, his Noble “Friends” betrothed since they were toddlers- started spreading rumours about her. Only courting Steve for his money and power. The Throne.

Monsters attack the city and suddenly it doesn’t seem like it matters much anymore. Steve still loves Nancy, they are still engaged to be married once he’s turned 20. They’re still together. It’ll be fine. Steve is 18 now, and the castle is throwing a huge masked ball for the occasion. Nancy gets drunk. Very drunk. Steve ushers her away from the ballroom, where they can get some privacy and he can wave down a servant to fetch some water and plain food. Except that doesn’t happen. She tells him he’s bullshit. They’re bullshit. She doesn’t love him.

And Steve feels a tugging, something snapping back into place. He’s heartbroken and his love isn’t enough to hold the curse off anymore. But he can’t feel it amongst the nausea in his gut and pinch of tears threatening to fall. So he storms off. He needs to get out, he needs to leave.

Robin finds him in the palace grounds sitting on a bench next to a small pond. , on the opposite side of the palace to the ballroom where the party is. His mask is off, jacket thrown onto the ground next to him, vest unbuttoned, undershirt untied at his neck. He tells her Nancy doesn’t love him and he cries into her arms.

She’s the first one to notice. That when he blinks his eyes shut for slightly too long. He’s not as alert as he once was. He sleeps deeper now, not light and fitful and nightmare-ridden. Then he starts sleeping for longer and longer each night. Takes more naps. The eternal sleep is grasping at him with hungry hands and slowly pulling him under.

Steve mentions it to her before she can even broach the topic. They’re alone together, as they’re not supposed to be; in Steve’s chambers, as they’re definitely not supposed to be. He’s scared Robin. He thinks the curse might be back. She says she thinks so too and they cry wrapped in each others arms until Steve falls asleep. The next morning, when Steve is still asleep - Robin goes to Dustin. Genius Child, and unofficial little brother to Steve. Robin asks him what does he know about magic? About blessings and curses? And so they go the library. And don’t turn up with much - the King and Queen have restricted and banned a lot of texts that deal with curses. An attempt to draw suspicion away from them and their reputation. So Robin changes the question and asks again - Does he know a court enchanter he can trust? A wild mage? A witchhunter? A cursebreaker?

And Dustin says he does. That he wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but this is an emergency. It’s for Steve. He knows a wild mage - an apothecary and expert in all illegal and banned magics. A semi-wanted criminal by the name of Eddie Munson. Robin goes to him and she tries to ask for help without giving too much away. She doesn’t want to tell him Steve’s secret. It doesn’t work, he turns her away. He isn’t going to deal with some Royal ass kissing servant who lies to his face. Robin is absolutely fucking fuming and tells Steve as such. She’s trying to help, but the one lead they have told her she was just a conformist. Probably just wanted money or power, or a love potion.

So Steve says they’ll make him listen. Take him to this mage. Robin tries to protest, she can try again, the journey is too long for him when he’s getting this tired, they’ll miss him at the palace. But he insists. They won’t miss him, and he’ll have her with him. He trusts her with his life if he starts to drift to sleep in the woods. So they pick a day they won’t be missed and make the trek out to the Wild Mage who lives in the woods. Robin has to hold onto Steve halfway through to keep him upright and stop him from wandering off, half asleep. They make it to the clearing, and Eddie leaves his cottage to see who’s asking for his help this time. He goes to scowl when he sees Robin, but stops when he sees Prince Steve Harrington, dressed down in loose comfy clothes, swaying softly and blinking sleepily. Before either of them can say anything, Steve closes his eyes and drops where he stands, slumping down on Robin.

Eddie and Robin drag his limp form into his cottage together and that’s when Eddie realises he can sense the curse lingering on Steve Harrington’s form. He can feel it vibrating in the air like electricity, feel it thick and heavy in the air. It smells like rot and decay, slowing eating away and Steve’s soul. He’s silent as they put Steve in his bed, the man now fast asleep.

“He’s the one who’s cursed.” Eddie says quietly. “The one you came here for last time.”

He is, and Robin begs for him to break the curse.

(I’m not too sure what happens next, but I know I want Eddie and El and maybe Will? IDK. To actually break the curse. Them to tell Robin that her and Steve’s platonic love was delaying the curse, slowing it down. For Steve and Eddie fall in love at their own pace. No curse hanging over their heads.)

I have absolutely nothing to add to this other than my pure and unfiltered LOVE and NEED. This is AMAZING!! I genuinely have had this sitting in my inbox trying to reason if I could add something but it would be pointless. You’ve got it ALL!!! Everything!! It’s all HERE!!! I’m absolutely completely in love with this I can’t say it enough. God I love all of your ideas but it sounds like you might have more plans for this one and if you do I want to be first in line PLEASE!!!!

vague DP x Noragami crossover time~

Hiyori is terrified of Danny; something about him rubs her so so wrong. She tries her best to be nice, but she is the equivalent of a shivering chihuahua puppy in his midst. Danny feels kinda bad about that, but he can't really turn it off without turning human so he tries to stay as calm as possible around her.

Yukine, on the other hand, loves him. He thinks Danny's so cool and keeps bugging him about stuff from America and trying to show off how much he knows about the culture (a very impressive amount actually), and goes nuts seeing all the things Danny can do with his ghost powers. Danny feels the same about Yukine, gushing about his Shinki abilities and urging him into telling stories about his adventures and Japanese culture. These two become good friends.

Yato is kind of indifferent, and then the tiniest bit jealous once Yukine starts looking up to Danny. After getting to know him a little more, Danny has a hard time believing someone like Yato is a real "god".

It doesn't take long for Yukine to start looking up to Danny, just seeing how easily Danny can take care of Ayakashi (named "Phantoms" in the anime, heh) impressed Yukine enough to ask for advice. Thus, Yato's "oh hey potentially a customer!" doesn't last more than a day or two.

Danny does accidentally hang out with Hiyori in human form, and she does not recognize him in the slightest. She also isn't afraid of him at all in human form.

Important note: Danny, to this trio, only know him as "Phantom"

Side idea: I,,, am gonna be honest, I dunno how the naming system would work realistically, but somehow with some word, Yato gets cut off from saying the whole word of something and Danny gets a funny feeling in his chest! By the time he feels two hands holding him tightly, he realizes that he is A) not in ghost form, B) not in human form, and C) he was-

"A Thermos?" Yato asked. "Bit of a random item, but- HOLD ON YOU'RE A SHINKI?!"

Danny did not, in fact, know he was a Shinki.

The idea is: Yato, being a "god of calamity" (if this isnt actually true, F to me), and Danny, being... whatever the hell amalgamation of ecto-energy and ghost shit and human being that he is- they both sort of? overlap? If that makes sense. And so, even though Yato did not intend to call a Shinki, nor did he know Danny was a Shinki (and that he had apparently bestowed a name at some point and completely forgotten about except- that's impossible what the fuck) he had none the less a new Shinki in his possession. One that turned into a thermos.

Idk how this would go plotwise, but Yato would immediately turn around and go "hey, Yukine, isn't this great? We can use Danny to keep food warm in the winter-!" and then he gets wrestled to the ground by Hiyori of all people, who was previously keeping a good distance between her and Danny and also panicking a little bit because it seemed like his smell completely disappeared what-

And Danny is just "what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck" and "did my parents sell me to the calamity god at some point???"

The answer he gets is no, but he's never totally sure and is always suspicious about it.

Some more notes:

-> He freaks out Hiyori because he smells like an Ayakashi

-> Yukine is a little bit drawn to him due to their similar (enough) circumstances.

-> Yato doesn't give much of a shit beyond the usual, at first, because he's used to the presence of death and Ayakashi near him. And Danny's existence isn't much of a surprise to him after hanging out with a sort-of Ayakashi (Hiyori) for so long.

-> After transforming into a Shinki for Yato, Danny can, in fact, blight him! When he changes back to his non-thermos self though, he does not blight Yato.

-> Danny offers to teach Yukine math one (1) time when Hiyori is unavailable and it ends with both of them getting repeat lessons. Danny thinks its a rip-off that he's not in school and yet he's still doing homework.

so sad how branwen decided to switch to a new sketchbook only days before orin stuck a tadpole in her brain. probably could have answered a lot of questions if it had sketches in it.

[eosofspades]

next gen (2018) is the best movie ever for a lot of reasons but the biggest, most integral one that i've never seen anybody actually address before, is that it is fundamentally a story about being a very young child who is suffering so much emotional pain and the experience of that pain not being taken seriously by anyone around you. mai's anger issues and crushing loneliness are absolutely integral to any reading of the story's themes, and not only is her pain a driving force, but it is validated by the narrative. the story doesn't mock her for having "daddy issues," she's not just a whiny or dramatic little girl; she is ABSOLUTELY justified in feeling lonely and hopelessly angry, and the movie goes out of its way to show you things from HER perspective. and at the end, the "lesson" she had to learn wasn't that she was WRONG about how she viewed her mother and her situation - in fact, her MOM is the one who has to learn that she was mistreating her daughter and hurting her.

the movie also takes so much care to honestly and realistically show how that loneliness can manifest in the most destructive of ways - mai is ALLOWED to be angry, she is allowed to be rude and abrasive and destructive, and while it is portrayed as a problem and something that needs to be addressed, the narrative never BLAMES her for it - because she is a child reacting in a real, emotional, raw, human way to her trauma and pain.

what i'm trying to say is i have never seen a film before that takes a child's feelings of misery as something so valid. the narrative NEVER condescends to her character, it never comes across as patronizing. and the movie isn't about having to forgive the people who hurt you, but instead it's about the importance of not letting that pain stop you from making NEW memories and better relationships. it's so real and RAW and full of love and ultimately, it is about how even one person looking at you and saying "i see your pain, and i'm not going anywhere" and meaning it can be enough to save you.
