There was a lot i liked about the update but this whole convo was my favorite. They're so married

Despite her attempts to collect herself, it took Aria a long time of letting tears fall and letting herself purr before she could finally speak again. When she did so, her voice sounded somewhat hoarse, but it was still unmistakeable as hers.

"You.. would really love something like me.." she was mumbling.

"Of *course* I would! And do..!" Clio said back, keeping her own voice light in return. "I'm always gonna be here for you, Ari. And I'm just.. so so glad that you're okay.."

She trailed off and started crying again, this time fully with joy and relief.

...Thinks a lot about how Alerina had a vision of DDD and basically just went “I’m going to love her so much, that never happens.”

And it happens anyways.

And how Alerina thinking “I’ll do something about it” isn’t very Traditional Azarathean of her. I always thought it was just her being In Denial, but no, she’s actually being kind of BRAVE about that.

So, it’s a Long Story, but essentially the way Dove comes into existence is her grandmother, an Azarathean woman, was exiled for breaking the rules a lot, not following protocols, making waves, generally not being a good obedient little spiritual pacifist.

And Dove was only raised in Azarath because her grandmother was pregnant when she was exiled, but after Dove Was Conceived, she sent her daughter (Dove’s mother) to Azarath as a way of protecting her.

And right from the start, Alerina didn’t tell people what was going on. She didn’t want to be treated like Arella; more desperately, she didn’t want her child to be treated like Raven.

Alerina apparently inherited that sort of rebellion. Even though she’s a lot more quiet and secretive about her rebellion. She never thinks of herself as being rebellious, because HER mother (the one who was so rebellious she was exiled) was outspoken and stubborn and honest to a fault.

Alerina is timid and quiet and fearful. (She’s where Dove gets about half her personality form; it’s deeply exasperated by being raised in isolation, but Magena’s more brazen personality gets lost in the shuffle of genes. .....except maybe when Dove’s dark side comes out actually, which is a line of thought I’ll have to follow later because I want to focus on their relationship to Azarathean teachings right now!)

So, honestly, I had never thought of Alerina as being very rebellious either, but suddenly I’m thinking: She really WAS rebelling in her own quiet way.

When she has this vision, her first response (besides her reaction, which is part of the reason I may never actually share This Scene) is to think, “I won’t let that happen!” That’s pretty far removed from the Classic Azarathean Nonresistance. That’s straight-up active RESISTANCE.

She cast so many spells to hide Dove that she exhausted herself. (She knew that if they found out about Dove, they’d probably want to take her away. She didn’t want that to happen. So she simply decided, I’m going to do something about it.

( (( What Alerina doesn’t know is that Azar knows about Dove, Alerina’s not powerful enough to prevent AZAR from knowing. But Azar decides she’s not the kind of threat Raven is, and elects to ignore it and keep this secret from the rest of the populace, because what good would it do to terrify her people with news of another child of Trigon being among them? So she Knows, but she doesn’t DO anything about it. But I only figured that out in the past, like, three years. )) )

Alerina keeps to herself and doesn’t make the kind of waves her mother made, anyways. In most ways, she’s a wallflower. When she’s “in public”, she’s obedient and pious; when she’s talking to people, she’s reserved and gentle. She was never the type of person to draw attention to herself. (And part of this is by design! The more Alerina blends in, the less they’ll

The spectre of Their Secret (that Alerina was raising an entire child, Trigon’s child, and keeping this a secret from every single Azarathean) affected everything from the clothes they wore to their eating habits to how long Alerina left the house. Every detail of her life was an exercise in Keeping This Massive Secret.

So Alerina may not think of herself as rebellious, but she was CONSTANTLY feeding this secret and defying “common wisdom” to protect Dove.

She’s a lot braver than she ever realizes, and more independent and stubborn and just, super ABERRANT

More than even *I* realized until having these thoughts tonight.

Azarath has a great deal of secrets, but its people don’t usually work so hard to keep their PERSONAL secrets.

[dipplinduo]

Fun fact about me: April 18th is my birthday! :)

And part of what I wanted to do to celebrate this year was to give back. Introducing * ~ a dipplinshipping birthday oneshot ~ * :

Rating: T

Summary:

Today was Kieran's birthday, but it was the last thing that mattered to him. In fact, he vowed it would never matter to him again. Instead, he would focus on things that would keep him strong: his battling, his strategizing, and his crown as the Blueberry Champion. His sister and the Elite Four won't stop asking him random questions, though, and if anyone brings up Juliana any more than they already have since she arrived as an exchange student, he's seriously going to lose it. But...why can't he stop thinking about her? And why is everyone acting so suspicious?!

A bittersweet birthday celebration fic for anyone who's had complicated feelings about their birthday. <3

Take this as a thank you to all of those who have followed my work and/or my Tumblr blog. I wouldn't have imagined having the support of this wonderful community on my last birthday, and I can't even begin to describe how encouraged and inspired I have felt to write since finding you guys. I have never written this much for this long, consistently, and your constant feedback and comments seriously brighten my day more than Juliana brightens up Kieran, LOL. Hope you enjoy this! <333

(And yeah, this fic is the "event based idea" that this poll was about. I thought it was so funny that some of you thought it was gonna be some devastating angst LMAOOOO. That's for after TTPD releases, tysm for the bday gift Taylor.)

Maybe you need to take a break Peppino

Overworking isn't healthy you know,,,

How about we focus on Pep! He must be awakened now

Gustavo: "They're right, Peppino, it's okay to have a break. I can finish the order and the rest of the shift today."

Peppino: "..."

Gustavo: "Please...? You've been working yourself to the bone - You barely even took the weekend off after the tower fell-"

Peppino: "I DON'T NEED A BREAK. I AM FINE. I DIDN'T-A RISK MY LIFE SEVERAL TIMES TO SAVE THIS PLACE, JUST FOR IT TO GO UNDER ANYWAYS. I DON'T NEED A THERAPY SESSION WITH-A SOME FUCKING NOSY BOX THAT THAT SICK MOCKERY OF ME BROUGHT IN FROM THE TRASH."

Peppino: "I am- I'm fine."

Gustavo: "Peppino-"

Peppino: "Just get it out of my kitchen. I'm not talking to it anymore."

Gustavo: "..."

Gustavo: "I'm sorry, friends. I didn't realise how pent-up Peppino was. I should have seen it sooner..."

Brick: *happy squeak*

Gustavo: "Oh hi, Brick."

Brick: *questioning squeak*

Gustavo: "Yeah, Peppino's kinda upset right now. I brought up the tower, and on top of everything that's happened today, it set him off."

Brick: *another questioning squeak*

Gustavo: "Yeah, I'll talk to him. Could you watch our friends here? He doesn't want them in the kitchen right now."

Brick: "squeak*

Gustavo: "Thank you. I'll be back."

(Peppino and Gustavo are temporarily unavailable for asks.

But Pep seems to be somewhat awake now)

Dabi is surprisingly a lightweight. You honestly would’ve never figured by looking at him, but as you think back on it, you’ve never really seen him drink a lot. Not when there were celebratory parties, or when things didn’t go right for him. It’s why you’re so shocked when you convince two shots into his system, why he suddenly looks so loose, why his grin splits so wide.

He’s a clinger, you’ve also learned as you’ve started observing the blue eyed man where he shoves his face into the crook of your neck. His body bends over almost uncomfortably to fit into the position, and you can’t help but flinch a little when his damp breath blows a quiet little raspberry on your flesh.

omg wait my favorite thought is of you not even necessarily being a heavyweight, you can just handle your liquor a little better than anyone expects. you love to knock back drink after drink, convince Dabi into some stupid competition that he falls for because he’s such a little nerd and secretly wants to impress you. he does it thinking you’ll be the drunk one first, the one hanging off of his arm and hopefully his dick by the end of the night.

it belatedly shocks him when it’s the exact opposite. when he’s slurring a little and smiling at you, when you watch him through low eyes with a wide grin, when he wraps himself around you like a python, when you shake his face gently as you squish his cheeks together in hand. he’s just so utterly obsessed with you in these moments, and maybe it’s the liquor in him, but he knows his lowered inhibitions are only bringing forth the feelings he’s always suppressed.

drunk sex with Dabi where he’s the one too loose limbed and limp and weak. he flops onto bed like some rag doll with his arms and legs spread wide, but he musters up enough strength to release the heavy weight of his cock from its confinements. doesn’t do much besides lift his head from the pillows with a point to his crotch and a lazy grin, an announcement of, go ahead and hop on already before he’s flopping back down again, ready to lay back and get fucked like how he knows he deserves.
