Noah and the Beanstalk AU

New AU hot off the press! This one's what I'd call a one-shot AU since this is the main thought without really any other ideas to go along with it. I would still love to answer any questions about it, though!

Look under the read more for an Alenoaheather g/t au! It won't be the last, though it is currently the only one that ends in a villain thruple.

Fantasy AU where giants are a known thing to exist in the clouds. Jack did his thing with the beanstalk and became famous since he's wealthy a la golden goose. This has just encouraged more humans to try to go up and steal from giants, occasionally even killing one. At this point stealing from giants is a profession in itself. An incredibly dangerous one with a very high mortality rate.

With that context out of the way, now onto Noah. He's the youngest of 9, and his life's doing pretty okay up until his mom catches an incurable illness. Being a nerd, he throws himself into research to find some kind of magic that can save her.

Good news! There's a chalice that cures the most pressing of ailments the next town over! The bad news? That town just got razed to the ground and pillaged by a pair of giants. Giants normally don't bother coming down and prefer to stay up to hoard and guard their treasures. These two are particularly greedy though because they go out of their way to come down and take things for themselves. The treasure's their priority but if anyone gets in the way of that? They're going to lose their lives trying to protect what's theirs. Giant thieves have gone up to try to reclaim the wealth and seek revenge. Though some even theorize that these two are only doing this out of desperation and can potentially be reasoned with. People from neither side of this argument have come back down.

There's also another problem in trying to go after these two. A more human one. You see, when everyone started going after giants, the earlier ones had the advantage of stealing from unsuspecting giants with no idea this was going to be an epidemic of stealing. They got power real fast, and started doing what they could to keep that power to themselves. Certain giant thieves went as far as hiring guards to stop other giant thieves from going up and getting rich without at least some hefty fee. The particular beanstalk that Noah's got to get to has royal guards.

Noah's only got a timeline of a couple of months since that's how long the doctors predicted. So he uses that to the fullest extend he dares. Most giant thieves get killed because they think they can just sneak in without a plan and get what they want the first time they get up there.

Noah's plans to do this smart thing called reconnaissance. He's going to make a few trips up before he tries actually stealing the chalice. He needs to know a few things before he's even going to think about touching that treasure:

Where these two keep their treasure

How they guard it

If they know how valuable the chalice is, and subsequently

If they'll notice that the chalice goes missing

Can they track him down if they do notice

He somehow manages to get his way up the beanstalk whether it's through bribing guards or distracting them so he can sneak up. Though he does manage to catch the attention through Justin, the prince or else some kind of royal who wants to make a name for himself but is also too cowardly to try stealing from a giant. Justin can't prove anything, so he just watches and waits as Noah keeps up with his frequent trips.

Through Noah's reconnaissance, he learns a couple of things. The two giants are named Alejandro and Heather. They're both around his age, and they really do only care about the treasure so they can gloat to others about how wealthy they are. They're also clearly in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. It's just incredibly unfortunate that they define a romantic outing as stealing and killing together.

Noah also learns that they have no idea they've got a magic chalice on their hands, which is good. What's not so good is they have a giant dog that guards their treasure room when they're not around. (Is the giant dog a stand in for anyone in particular? Maybe! Part of me wants to say Tyler for some reason. Still trying to figure that out.) However, he does learn that the dog has been trained at least a bit through whistles. This leads to the start of a brilliant plan.

Rather than steal the chalice himself, he trains the dog to steal the chalice FOR him. The dog goes in and out of the treasure room so he won't set off any alarms. Noah already knows some tricks for doing so thanks to training his own dog. It takes a while to make sure the dog becomes familiar with and loves him as a person with treats rather than a person who is a treat. Even longer to go through the training of teaching him how to fetch the chalice through creating a replica so the dog knows what to look for. But eventually it pays off.

He books it with the chalice. He doesn't dare to get greedy because he knows these two will notice if too much goes missing. And he's seen enough of them to know they'll be incredibly vindictive against anyone who injures their pride by stealing. He actually plans to return the chalice after using it on his mother. He'd rather have them never realize it was gone rather than live with the ticking time bomb of waiting to see if they notice.

Before he goes too far with it, he tests it on himself first. It would be a waste to steal it only for it to be for nothing. He cuts the palm of his hand, then pours some water into the chalice and drinks. He was not prepared for the intensity. It feels like he's swallowed liquid fire and he nearly coughs it out, but he forces himself to swallow. As to be expected, his whole body feels like it's on fire. This was a horrible mistake. Fortunately for him, the pain subsides. And look, that cut has been healed! Finally, life is looking up for once!

Noah's biggest mistake was thinking this because the moment he gets off the beanstalk, Justin shows up. He reveals that he's been watching Noah and let him keep going up, which is why it's been so easy for Noah to make repeated trips. Justin rips the chalice out of Noah's hands to claim it for himself so he can have the prestige of being a giant thief without ever putting himself in any danger. Noah gets to live because Justin can't be bothered to kill him, and doesn't see him as a threat. Noah's only saving grace is Justin has no idea what the chalice can do, and Noah sure as hell isn't going to tell him.

Noah's forced to go home empty-handed. He starts trying to plan how to steal the chalice back, and if he even has enough time to do that. Infiltrating a castle with plenty of guards is much different than infiltrating a giant home with only three occupants.

He only gets about a week or two before two rather pissed off giants and their dog come crashing down to reclaim their stolen treasure. Noah's in town doing reconnaissance on the castle so he's close enough to see the dog bounding into the castle to reclaim the chalice and the person who's currently claiming he took the chalice: Justin.

Heather and Alejandro are busy trying to interrogate Justin into telling them how he stole from them. Neither of them are paying attention to their dog, who smells Noah, and comes bounding towards him with the chalice as he's been trained. Noah can't believe his luck.

Literally, he can't. Because if Heather or Alejandro catch sight of this they're going to figure out who the real thief is in an instant. But also this is his one chance of curing his mom while the two are distracted. He just has to pray he's faster than they are. At least he has a giant dog that serves as a great mode of transportation if you're willing to cling for your life and pray to anyone that'll listen to not fall off.

He does manage to make it home and cure his mother, thankfully without her looking too pained by drinking from the chalice. Bad news is this is around the time he hears two incredibly loud, incredibly frustrated screams and he knows they've realized the chalice is gone again.

He tries to order the dog to return the chalice to Alejandro and Heather. Which is pretty difficult considering this isn't a command he's taught the dog. The dog also hears itself being called back by its giant owners, so it comes up with the perfect solution. It lightly bites down onto both the chalice AND Noah and begins bounding back. Cue Noah screaming and trying to give the 'drop it'.

Which works! Partially. It gets the dog to drop the chalice. Down a hill. Rolling off a cliff. To the ocean below. Where it's immediately swept away. Never to be seen again.

His only hope is that Alejandro and Heather will make his death quick.

When he does get brought back to the two, he's immediately snatched up by Heather who demands to know who he thinks he is, and where the chalice is when she realizes it's gone. Noah tries to lie that their dog picked him up on complete accident, but they're not buying it. Alejandro does notice that their dog is acting particularly strange towards this one human, and convinces Heather to drop Noah into the dog's mouth.

Noah does land into his mouth, though out of sheer desperation gives the 'drop it' order. This saves him, but it also reveals himself as the original thief.

They're both at least slightly impressed that Noah managed to scheme his way into the chalice, but they've still got their images to maintain. Plus, he lost the chalice.

So, Alejandro crushes him under his heel. It's quick, although incredibly painful. The two walk off to see if they can recover the chalice, and that's the end of the story.

...Or it would be, if Noah wasn't screaming in confused pain and panic not even a minute after being crushed, perfectly healthy.

Remember when he drank from the chalice to test it out? Well, it only really has one setting: turbo-charged. So with his mother with a terminal illness, it worked exactly as intended. But when he drank from it with only a cut on his hand, it decided to go after a deeper, underlying issue.

This pesky little thing called mortality.

Alejandro and Heather also scream because what?? the fuck?? Heather kicks him into a tree on instinct and Noah goes flying. And not long after, his body rebuilds himself and he's back. The process of killing Noah and him reviving repeats for a few times before they all stop and try to figure out where the fuck to go from here.

Their pride won't allow Heather or Alejandro to simply let Noah live. And Noah plans to do everything in his power to not go through that whole die/revive process again. Alejandro comes up with the idea to just take Noah if they can't have the original chalice. Raze the town so they can still prove a point, and be on their way.

Noah has many problems with this plan, but neither cares about his opinion. Up until he points out that he'll always be looking for a way to escape. With his newfound immortality, he'll get there eventually. (He's completely bluffing about whether or not his lifespan will be extended to and this isn't just regeneration, but they don't have to know that.)

If they agree NOT to destroy the town he grew up in, then he'll promise never to try to escape. And he will want proof that they stick to their end. He doesn't want them to just lie about his town being fine while they destroyed it days ago.

They reluctantly agree to these terms. Justin, who the two had dumped earlier, tries to take claim when they start to head out with their new prize. Leading Noah to just share at the sheer audacity of him before speaking again.

"...You know how I said you couldn't touch a single person in this town? I don't consider Justin to be a part of this town, so you can do whatever you want with him."

"Oh thank god he was getting SO annoying."

"Want to bat him through the air like a human racquetball until one of us inevitably drops him mi cariño?"

"Yes, but you are so the one who's dropping him first."

Eventually Heather realizes they can use Noah to steal from other giants. So he becomes their own pet giant thief, and he eventually gets pampered since they do legitimately enjoy his schemes and sarcastic wit.

All of this because I basically wanted a g/t au where Alejandro and Heather are a bond villain couple with a small Noah as the little bastard cat they stroke on their lap. He 100% pokes fights with human royalty or other giants to watch Alejandro and Heather take them down. Alejandro and Heather know this, and they love this about him. Plus it just gives them more of an excuse to have fun dates involving ruining people's lives.

i have a love and hate relationship on how this turned out

anyways i suddenly started to fixate on my old minecraft project from 2020 so i wanna yap about these two ocs i have (keep reading if youre interested lol)

i know i was supposed to be focusing on my magical girl project but STILL HSDHSHDSH im also gonna talk about a little bit about the worldbuilding of my project

The first OC is Patches, a piglin. His name is more of a nickname since piglins in the Nether aren't usually named, the name "Patches" was given by Cherry (another oc of mine). First things first, he's the only known piglin in the Nether that doesn't attack humans even when they're not wearing gold, the reason why is because he met Cherry a few years ago, when he was a young pig, and Cherry saved his life from Wither Skeletons that were attempting to kill him. They met for a short period of time and had to part ways, but Patches never forgot about her and is what made him want to protect innocent humans. After a few years, Cherry and her friends (Delia, Noah and Samantha) went to the Nether again and happened for them to meet again, that is how Patches became part of the group and started to guide and help them through the Nether.

Patches is around 19 years mentally and psychically, since piglins age more different than humans. He's also 210cm / 6'11. Patches had the potential to become a Piglin Brute thanks to his strength and height, but he never had the chance since other piglins didn't accepted his ideals of protecting humans, he's not even allowed to be in Bastion Remnants. He's also one of very few piglins that can understand and speak human language. The other OC is Samantha, a witch. I won't tell her full detailed backstory because it's very long and complicated and this text is already huge lmao, but resuming it, their story is a little bit similar to Patches.

Samantha used to live in a Woodland Mansion, and they were taught to harm and kill villagers, but Samantha refused to do so and ran away from that place, since then, they're hunted by pillagers for "betrayal", for not only running away but also for protecting villagers.

Samantha is 16 years old, and they're 152cm / 5'0. Because of her past she grew up physically weak, but they are fast and fight using potions. Despite the two being drastically different, Samantha and Patches got along really well and bonded over their pasts and their desire to protect, despite the two being considered "hostile mobs" (i know piglins are technically neutral but still lol) Both of them also weren't trusted when they were first introduced, but they proved that they weren't hostile and became friends quickly with the other characters.

I might do more of these but with my human/villager ocs too it's fun

background

sam was born in portland, maine in a very simple, mid-to-lower class family. his father, wesley, worked in the mines out of state while his mother, rose, worked on the outskirts of portland at the front desk of a motel. sam was a troublesome kid and often found himself in trouble, especially by his dad who worked to keep his boys in line and well-behaved with a strict and tough-love approach. his father was away for his two weeks of work and his older brother tommy was on the other side of the country for college when the world ended. not knowing what to do, rose packed up whatever she could and took sam to the motel to hide away. the pair remained there, locked up in the motel office for weeks and only venturing out for supplies when they were on their final rations. the more time that passed, the less rose ventured out with sam, giving him the responsibility of scouting and scavenging for supplies. soon enough, he grew more and more comfortable with the outdoors and taught himself to survive. each morning, he'd head outside to work around the motel — eliminating the dead and building a wall around the front entrance of the property with whatever objects he could find scattered about. the motel would soon go on to house eight more survivors before a group of bandits found them, pillaging their home and eliminating any of them that resisted. all but sam and his mom were killed that night, left with nothing but wounds and empty stomachs. within the next 48 hours, rose would succumb to her wounds, leaving sam with no choice but to put her down to avoid re-animation. sam packed a bag and left on foot on his own, with no desire to remain in the place where he lost his mom. his next destination were the mines where his father was located, sure he'd still be there because of the highly secure property it was on. however, after nearly two whole weeks of traveling and finally arriving on property, he quickly learned that his father was among the dead that roamed the gated location. his final attempt at reconnecting with his family was to find his brother, tommy. with no real idea where exactly his brother was attending college, sam made the decision to just wander west — hedge his bets down the center of the united states. weeks would turn into months, and sam would soon find himself starving and desperate for rest and, with luck on his side, he is saved and taken into the care of elizabeth winchester. understanding the likelihood of finding his brother and his own survival, as well as listening to the opinion of elizabeth, sam decided to let go of his past and remain with elizabeth as one of her own. since the beginning of the domus spei, sam has been an active member. he was quick to show interest in and join the militia, growing in his experience quickly and becoming a prized member of the group. he's very intelligent and loyal but also bad-tempered and closed off, which often controls his responses to dire situations. however, he truly means well and wants to see the group survive more than anything so he pours all of his energy into it because he's a genuinely good guy, he just has a poor way of showing it sometimes.

wanted connections

found family: outside of his adoptive family, these are the friends he's made that he holds closest. taken by no one (open to 2).

first friend/best friend: the first friend he made in the domus spei. ever since then they've been the best of friends and often rely on each other for everything. taken by no one (open to 1).

partner: a member of the militia or the hunters that he often gets paired with for work outside the domus spei. taken by no one (open to 1).

mutual dislike: they just can't see eye to eye on anything and get into fights frequently because of it. taken by no one (open to 1).

his soft spot: sam has a horrible way of showing his emotions the right way, settling for negative emotions above all else before he can transition into much more neutral or positive ones (situational of course). this person, however, is someone he just melts around. he would go above and beyond for them, and if they told him to jump he'd truly ask how high. this is the person that sam has feelings for, whether it's mutual or not is up to you. taken by no one (open to 1 + femme).

mentor: the first person that took sam under their wing after elizabeth, and taught them everything they know. sam looks up to them as a friend and a guardian of sorts, and feels safest when around them if his family is nowhere around. take by no one (open to 1 and must be militia or hunter).

Wanna go Biblical? Let's go biblical.

Raise you hand if you know the connection between: Noah's Ark story, and the biblical word חמס.

I don't know how coincidental this was, but for the Hebrew speaking person, the word "HAMAS" has an actual, biblical meaning:

Violent pillage and raiding, robbery (and any form of taking what's not yours), looting, overall violence, imoral behavior, oppression, and any possible associated wrongdoing. Rape would be within those definitions as well.

In the Bible, God tells Noah to build an Ark for those he intends to keep safe, for the land was "filled with hamas", and he plans to purge the evildoers with.... a great flood.

Who called for a Great Flood on the 7th? Who boasted of their acts and called them "flood" and "deluge"?

Now I may be Jewish, but I'm hardly anywhere as observant. I am secular. But I can recognize symbolism when I see one.

Genesis, 6

This word right there:

חמס

Reads "hamas".

The word occurs in biblical and religious texts many more times, in relation to bad rulers and sinning societies.

In this symbolic context, when Israel says. "HAMAS has embedded itself within the population of Gaza", what you also say is, "the Land is full of violence and immorality, and has to be purged of it".

In modern times, the two weeks prior to the incursion and counless calls for evacuation, the humanitarian corridor and the humanitarian zones are your Noah's Arks.

This is your local Jewish person with your daily does of Biblical symbolism, signing out.

Heart of Fire Dragon, Soul of Flame Phoenix and Sea Fairy Ocean Blood

A Spoken word poetry book about being an asian native pasifika, a qtipoc or queer and trans native of color, & a displaced disconnected diaspora 

Chapter 7: Verse 1:

A Scream and Roar of Fire and Flame of Resistance, Resilience, & Defiance:

There is a reason why I as a Vietnamese and Chinese person of color fear the ocean

There is a reason why I as a Polynesian Tahitian Indigenous Pasifika love the ocean 

There is a reason why I as a Kinh Indigenous person have a healthy fear and respect of the ocean 

Do you know how many first world countries didn’t accept Vietnamese refugees 

Who banned the boat people coming over to their shores

Boats brimming with so many human life seeking new homes 

After their Indigenous Kinh land and seas were defiled and desecrated by the Chinese, the French, the Japanese, & the Americans!

Torn apart by their colonialism, imperialism, neocolonialism, & occupation!

Who left seeking new homes after their homes were destroyed by colonizers and imperialists!

Displaced disconnected Indigenous Kinh diaspora 

Survivors on wooden boats like Noah’s ark searching for a new home 

Do you know how many first world nations refused them

Hundreds of thousands of us died in the pitch black cold ocean 

A giant blue graveyard that was the open sea 

That was our tombs as we were taken into the afterlife 

That surrounded four hundred thousand dead bodies of the boat people

Like a motherly embrace...

After several so called developed countries refused to give us sanctuary as war refugees!

They treated us like some sort of fucking disease or infection!

Neighboring governments of the South China sea in East Asia and Southeast Asia refused us asylum 

The moment the dead bodies of Vietnamese or Kinh Indigenous children! 

Orphaned boys and girls washed on their shores!

That they those children fucking cursed them from beyond in the afterlife!

Because I know the Ocean Mother did

They look away in shame knowing damn well 

That all of those kids died because of their heartlessness and apathy 

I say stare and look at what you fucking did

You claim your Christians

I say that you are all fucking hypocrites

They say they loved Noah and the story of the ark 

Who saved every single animal with his giant boat

Yet they damned four hundred thousands of war refugees 

Of innocent men, women, & children on wooden boats to die!

They say they love Jesus 

Wasn’t Jesus a brown skinned refugee who fled to escape persecution when that king massacred every single baby boy?!

You raped and pillaged my home!

My Vietnamese or Kinh Indigenous people searched for a new home 

After your countries defiled and desecrated it with your colonialism, imperialism, neocolonialism, & occupation!

Our people fled to escape Vietnam when they knew the Viet Cong was coming to slaughter every single one of them!

Viet Cong were going to execute everyone of them!

Men, women, children, the elderly!

They claim to love Moses

Didn’t Moses lead an exodus of his people searching for a new home

Our people went to their new homes in the United States, Europe, South America, the Middle East, Polynesia, & the rest of Asia

Yet experienced anti-Asian racism, anti native racism, and xenophobia when they came to their new homes

So when you claim to love Christian biblical stories 

But hate refugees of war

Refugees that are caused by your colonialism, imperialism, neocolonialism, & occupation!

Please go fuck yourself!

The Ocean Mother of Polynesian indigenous Pasifika myth she wept as she took in dead children from another Indigenous diaspora!

She saw as thousands of fire dragon, sea fairy, & flame phoenix hybrid children cry  

Their flame phoenix and fire dragon tears weren’t extinguished and withstood even her ocean water! 

She saw as hundreds of nations let innocent lives of men and women drown in her ocean water!

Till this day her ocean floor is still littered with our bones made out of jade...

The bodies of sea fae, flame phoenix, & fire dragon hybrid children…

Did those bodies later grow and become white lotus flowers that symbolize death, purity, & the end? 

She grieved and mourned each one of them!

She tried to save every single one of them 

I know she did but even she couldn’t 

She cried as she watched the Goddess of the Night take all of these now orphaned children in her arms!

Because it happened when the cold blue sea met the dark black sky! 

It was in the open ocean where you couldn’t see any land! 

It was where the only thing you can see was the cold obsidian sapphire sea and the charcoal night sky!

So the Goddess of the Night’s reach was all encompassing

The Goddess of the Night’s embrace was warm and nurturing 

But her cold arms were also a tomb as she embraced us into the darkness!

Those men, women, & children all died with eyes wide open... 

Shocked at the inaction, apathy, & indifference of so many nations 

The Ocean Mother she closed each of their eyes herself with her hand made of ocean water...  

The Ocean Mother and the Goddess of the Night were the only ones that welcomed us with open arms

Even if it was to welcome us into the afterlife…

To give us a mother’s touch one last time!

To save us from Southeast Asian Thai sea pirates who assaulted and raped Vietnamese girls and women! 

To save us from Vietcong who killed war refugees and left their children without parents!

She adopted some of these orphans before they died

So I wonder if I go to the afterlife will I see some of my Vietnamese and Chinese ancestors...?

Will I see the sad smile of the Goddess of the Night and the Ocean Mother?

Is this why she wanted a child born of fire, flame, & water

With a fire dragon heart, with a sea fairy aura, & a flame phoenix soul 

But with a body of earth, ocean, & sky?

With bones made out of jade

With roots made out of white lotus flowers and hibiscus plants

To make up for not saving enough Vietnamese children in the future...

So the ocean she felt like home to me as a Polynesian Tahitian Indigenous Pasifika 

My people are descended from fire dragons, flame phoenixes, and sea fae water spirits! 

This is why those that survived 

We were phoenixes that were reborn as displaced diaspora across the world

Our roots of white lotus flowers came with us 

When we were reborn in the streets of America, Canada, South America, the Middle East, Europe, Oceania, & the rest of Asia

I am a human with a body made of earth, made of ocean, & made of sky 

I am human born of fire, born of water, & born of flame 

I am human with bones made out of jade

I am human with roots made out of white lotus flowers and hibiscus plants 

I am human with the blood of the cosmic and ancient sea fairy, the heart of a stellar and celestial dragon, & the soul of a divine and heavenly phoenix

[girlzoot]

So many black families spend all of their time trying to fix the problems of the past. That is the curse of being black and poor, and it is a curse that follows you from generation to generation. My mother calls it “the black tax.” Because the generations who came before you have been pillaged, rather than being free to use your skills and education to move forward, you lose everything just trying to bring everyone behind you back up to zero. —Trevor Noah/Born a Crime

Hey Noah, may i know your opinion on raids? 0:

“I used to be part of them... I grew up believing that raids are a good and exciting thing. Something to look forward to. But one of these raids lead to my change of thought and I decided, that I don’t want to live like this anymore...”“Now I absolutely despise raids and whenever I can, I try to help the villagers to stay save. I might not be as strong as I used to be, but I still know how to use a crossbow.”

Some doodles I did a couple weeks ago. I tried to draw Noah and Tristan more in “my usual style” cause I kinda use a bit of a different style for them.  Also Tristan with hair because I was curious to see what he would look like with some fluff on his head.

i did the “draw your ocs like this” challenge and added my Minecraft OCS again lmao

also there’s a new minecraft OC and he’s a pillager as you can see :’D (his name is Luke) plus the girls you (probably) already know, Delia and Cherry lol

I have way too much free time

Note to self,

1 Year = 72 Minecraft years

All creatures in Minecraft are presumable immortal. Pillager, Librarian, and Witch friend somewhere around 200 years old, Although at most they look rather ambiguous. 3(?) Years = 200 Minecraft years

Everyone else is usually the age you expect them to be. Blacksmith and Player are in their 20s-Early 30s, , Wilburt and Noah are 9 etc. etc.

Steve and Alex however, are the same age as the game. If we go off that fact that the release date was in 2011, Alex and Steve have lived a decade in human years (Yes I know Alex was made in 2014, just didn’t want to have it weird. So instead of the calculations, Alex is just younger by 4 Minecraft years) Which means 10 Years = 720 Minecraft years

Or, if we go by Minecraft Classic, which was released in 2009, 12 Years = 864 Minecraft Years

ALEX, STEVE, HEROBRINE YALL ARE ANCIENT

Ok to the new people that come to my blog, here’s the main characters I post about and their descriptions.

Noah - fallen angel, more specifically a seraphim. Classic dark angel look with big wings and broken halo and horns. A male in his early 30’s and 6’2 in stature with black medium length hair. Very empathetic and nice, stoic. One of Civs only friends out of circumstances.

Vic - a sentient doll that became a paladin of vengeance to help people and to avenge his lover. He is 6’5 and looks to be in his mid 20’s with crimson red hair that falls to his shoulders. Wears bulky plate armor and carries a trident. Very nice,friendly and understanding. He is very violent when pissed. Loves his brother very much and only wants the best for him.

Civ - same thing as Vic but is a echo knight that doesn’t have anything holding him back from burning and pillaging everything in his path. His capacity for violence has kept him alive for a considerable amount of time. Is related to Vic. He looks the same as Vic but with messier and duller red hair and golden eyes with cracks and scars littering his whole body. Very easy to piss off and is a bastard. He only has three morals.

My Two First Loves, Ch. 14-17 AKA Y’all Suck and This Blows

What happened this week:

Have flashbacks to more childhood stuff with Mason and your mother, this time, attic pillaging, picture-taking and tarot readings. Mason still has the photographs from that day, once again reminding you what close friends you’ve been, and how shit has completely hit the fan. The drive back is less than pleasant, because you talk about how shit has hit the fan.

Mason, clearly uninformed that MC does not, after all, know Noah’s history, warns him to stay away from him once again. After the boys are done their silent pissing match, Noah asks you to tutor him for real. 

On a coffee run, Noah opens up a little bit about his *tragic backstory*, immediately making everyone swoon for him, because everyone does love a good tragic backstory. Still doesn’t explain why everyone hates him though, because all I see is a kind dude who wants to take care of his family.

Ava invites you to her party, and if you buy a diamond outfit for it, send a pic to both of the boys (which is really weird, like, isn’t MC playing both sides now? Cause Mason’s playing both sides but MC’s also playing into it).

Mr. Father, Sir grounds you for dipping at the cheer exhibition, not willing to acknowledge that he dipped as well. Also not acknowledging your outfit this time, even though he was so adamant about the other outfit that one time. Luckily, Mack will help us sneak out. 

It’s party time, bitches, and Ava is the only one at this “rager” who’s totally blanked out. Could this be so she doesn’t remember the truly horrifying events that follow? Namely, truth or dare yet again, and suck n’ blow, where we end up kissing Mason. I sure hope she doesn’t remember any of this. I sure hope I don’t remember any of this.

Thoughts:

I’m trying to process what the fuck just happened (and not in a good way like with other books). Watching the general consensus be like “blegghhh” makes me feel better about grimacing at the screen. But then again, isn’t that the first time we actually had no choice but to kiss someone? So maybe I don’t feel that bad about it.

So anyway… at least Ava appeared? But like, drunk, so not that much. Glad to know she hasn’t been kidnapped. Wonder how she’s gonna react to this whole thing, if she even remembers it (but she went upstairs so I doubt it).

If Lauren says “juvie” in all italics one more time I will throw hands. Sorry that this is the most interesting thing to happen in your life. Good thing we stuck it to her in the Truth or Dare scene.
