#riz baby i’m so sorry

[waterisntreal]

Ok no it’s actually so terrifying and sad to think about how when Baron gets banished they go to Riz’s briefcase because that fear will always be a part of Riz

[rellsingsovern]

In my notes during this whole season I’ve kept track of loose ends and just other plot points I think could make for a great senior year (which now seems likely that we will get down the line in the future) and this finale gave me almost everything I wanted and more so here’s what I think we’re gonna see (plus things that I just rly want to see lol)

-first and foremost, BARON IS STILL IN RIZ’S BRIEFCASE!!! the spectral mordred manor probably is not there as that was a haven sent out by cassandra during all the divine interventions in falinell and the bad kids dove in as a last second decision, but baron is still definitely there. ‘I am somewhere always close to Riz Gukgak’ and while everyone’s journey with their sexuality happens on their own time and Riz shouldn’t have to come out if he doesn’t want to yet, now that he’s coming to terms that his friends might not always be together in the way he wants to I think it would be healing for him to fully confront and accept his aro aceness and have support with that and realize that even if they can’t be physically together his friends won’t leave him for other relationships

-Fabian is getting a new baby sibling, but that is not the only sibling he’s ever had. James Whitlaw made references to his half siblings from Bill that he killed and ate, I am POSITIVE that at least one is still out there and probably has it out for Fabian (as Bill married Hallariel, raised Fabian, and dragged his ship into solace to give him a new life) and an arc where Fabian has to defend himself against an older sibling while growing to love his younger would be amazing to see

-kalina, bakarath, bobby, and buddy ofc, I’ve been wondering where kalina has been this whole time, and I want to see more of bobby getting what he deserves. Cassandra’s been through a fucking lot this season but her familiar apparently might be a big bad along with arianwen again so sorry cass but the cat’s gotta go. she still directly got pok killed riz deserves to hunt her down and avenge him a second time

-speaking of, Arianwens been making moves in sylvaire! Adaine and aelwyn will surely kill her but from the looks of it even though she got her magic taken away she may have some sort of power. Cant wait for these sisters to be able to live immortal lives without their parents looming over them

-BUCKY APPLEBEES!! bucky, a paladin of cassandra, gathering the courage to ask Kristin for help getting bricker and cork out of the Applebees residence, maybe moving into mordred and everyone immediately being enamored with these cute little boys who honestly might turn out to be mumple instead of wanting to attend the adventuring academy and Kristin being so happy they aren’t being raised in a pressure cooker anymore and affected like she and bucky were affected, happy that they can be normal kids (and in being around Kristin’s other sisters, adaine and fig, Kristin ends up getting that sister she always wanted in bucky too)

-I’m so happy Fig is getting what she wants and realizing she doesn’t want to finish Aguefort, and it would be awesome if she got a new character and the bad kids took on a new party member for the year played by Emily so all the intrepid heroes are still together, but Fig could be hanging out between mordred and Seacaster and leviathan and Hell, writing music and helping Kristin spread word of the cassandra/Ankarna pantheon through it, and since in sophomore year we saw Penelope dayne daybreak and Johnny spells all kicking it in hell maybe Jace (who ik was a minion mostly but hey he could be evil on his own) is down there with some other bad kid nemeses

-more Galicea and Sol. Sol canonically was all for bringing Ankarna into the pantheon of himself, his sister galicea, his other sister cassandra, and his son helio. It was Sol’s followers who saw Ankarna brought in as another god of the sun and brought about the ruin and corruption of Ankarna alongside the house of sunstone in order to get more power for themselves with just the one solar deity existing. Both Sol and Galicea (and maybe helio) have been hardcore shaped by their followers, Galiceas wolfish side being repressed by the high elf state of falinell and being brought back through wolfsong, and Sol with the human clerics of highcourt scheming to make him the only god with a sun domain despite him officiating and welcoming Ankarna as his sister in law through the marriage. Plus if we get galicea arcs we defo get Kristin and tracker messy lesbians arcs

-Gorgug perfecting his new subclass he invented and Kristin enjoying being student body president! She deserves it, I hc that the only academic sort of thing Kristin cared about before this year was the lgbtq+ club and now she’s extending that energy into everything with the help of Riz, who cannot get off of coffee someone help this poor boy. And since Ragh and shellford have graduated I want more Torek Railgrinder, she’s so cool let’s flesh her out more. Gorgug thinking about how to teach other multiclass barbarian/artificers and perfecting all his awesome inventions (and dating both Unit and Mary Ann bc it’s what his poly ass deserves)

Basically the potential plot I see for senior year is almost a mirror of sophomore year: baron getting out and fighting Riz and the bad kids defeating him for good, the bad kids heading to leviathan after hearing rumors of a pirate calling themselves a child of Bill Seacaster looking for Fabian, heading to falinell to see what’s new with wolfsong and tracker and maybe seeing some changes in Galicea or Sol, heading to hell and meeting up with Fig for a portion (she doesn’t go to their school anymore! she ain’t gotta go on this senior year spring break quest!) who’s been hanging out in hell, tracking Jace and other enemies, establishing her power as an archdevil of the first layer of hell, writing awesome music, and finally back to sylvaire to figure out what the fuck is up with kalina and arianwen and this weird new god buddy has and they all graduate and head their separate ways but they still love each other and see each other all the time they’re family and they’re badass and they’re perfect

[alexalessandro]

This is for no one but myself (ignore the tags) so feel free to scroll away, but no actually the rat grinders are not like Ragh and Zayn and Aelwyn.

Here’s my essay

First of all, there’s a clear difference between the rat grinders and all the bad kids “villains” turned allies and it’s the coerced factor

If we want to put Zayn datkshadow, Aelwyn aberrant and Ragh Barkrock on a scale of most to least coerced, we would have Zayn up top.

He was literally made to be socially isolated and financially dependent on the bad guys, had his reputation ruined and actively had eyes on him to keep him miserable and alone (jokes on them the acting miserable part was his emo persona mostly)

Then we have Aelwyn abernant, who’s behind Zayn darkshadow simply because she had a lifeline to not be abused which was to be perfect all the time although that’s abuse in and of itself, she was literally coerced from birth into evil “we’re rich so we care about nobody but ourselves and you better not shame our house” bs

Then ragh, ragh is least in the coerced scale but he still had his identity used against him and was actively bullied and blackmailed by his crush after coming out to him

Now the rat grinders.

They. Weren’t. Coerced. Into shit.

Kipperlily copperkettle? The gravest sin her parents made was be boring and scold her for breaking into their computers to look for conspiracies. Her reasons to be manipulated is because she’s mad she’s boring and thinks that trauma gives other people an “unfair advantage” while she actively chose easy adventures to pass. Like she looks like any other annyoing ass white girl you dread to meet that complains about people being on her ass for getting starbucks while the boycott’s going i’m sorry i’m not gonna pity her JUMPING at the opportunity to be manipulated and also actively getting the only person that gave a shit about her killed (Lucy frostblade had multiple assailants)

Like cleric killer killed people in cold blood bot as self defense or to stop apocalypses but cus the bbeg was like hehehe bitch please

She is obviously racist against riz but that’s just my own personal bias

Oisin? Freaking nepo baby with an evil grandma that apparently was bitchy even before the shatter star and might have been an insidious incel the entire time

Ivy suggested fabian wore mazey like a coat and that’s where the skin alive but came from, check the tape

I have weird thoughts about ruben mary ann and buddy, they’re mostly stooges and i would personally put them in the ragh box but also ruben’s death was objectively funny sorry not sorry

All of this to say there’s a difference between my villainy is inflicted upon me or coerced onto me and HECK YEAH MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL I’LL ABSOLUTELY KILL MY BEST FRIEND FOR U WHEN SHE DOESNT GO ALONG WITH THE PLAN

anyway these have been my ramblings I won’t take criticism

[figscigfigs]

Fantasy high Junior year master post xx will update every week

!!!FANTASY HIGH JUNIOR YEAR SPOILERS, ALL FHJY SPOILERS WILL BE TAGGED #fhjy spoilers, #fantasy high junior year spoilers, #dimension 20 spoilers!!!

1. SUMMER SCARIES

Oh we are jumping straight into action

CANON NIGHT YORB DESIGN and it’s a fishy 🥺?! I’m in love

HANGVAN MINI IM GONNA CRY I missed u so much

Moggy the doggy!! I hope Adine just accumulates a truly irresponsible amount of little guys over the season

Baby mini (blursed)

Seated minis?!????

The new hangman art 🥺 puppy

Bloke mode Kristen applebees. Breakup hit you hard so sorry baby girl

After rewatching FHSY twice in preparation for this season I feel almost overwhelmed there’s so much stuff happening the set??? The battle map?? Seated and unseated minis?! I’m going into sensory overload

I need this battle music in my everyday playlist hello?

LOU’S FIRST ROLL OF THE SEASON BEING A NAT ONE (I recognize that dice)

First Beardsley 20 of the season we are so back baby

EMILY TOO LMFAO what is going on

These bits where a brand new character shows up and everyone already knows their whole deal are so fucking funny

Two Beardsley 20s!!!

This cliffhanger is going to be the absolute death of me omg what bad cheese did fig get into over the summer 👹

2. SUMMER BREAKDOWN

I’m a fool and tried to just add my live thoughts onto this post directly and lost all of it when the app crashed so lesson learned. Notes app first from here out. Anyways here are the highlights I can think of

The Ayda armor. Wow, we are so back Figayda nation

Riz hitting Fabian with the van twice is so bffs of them

Riz and Fabian are both breaking my heart already this season they are both so lonely but in such different ways ugh Fabian’s lack of connection with his mom and his security in the friend group while riz has a loving mom but feels so insecure about his place amongst his friends… zoo wee mama!!

Adine and Zayn’s friendship really means the world to me I hope that they explore it more especially now that Aelwyn bailed and left her at mordrid alone

Loving that Sklonda left the pig patrol behind hate that they’re screwing her over but what do you expect cops to do!

Gilear’s luck streak combined with fig’s weird bad luck with having to make a dex save on the stairs only to still wind up with her boot in a bucket of cement is making me nervous in a major way. And then the little blurb about doreen’s fishnet getting torn makes me think she’s got something to do with it and maybe bc Gilear was a lunch lad he is somehow connected I don’t know. I don’t know!

Kristen baby… lesbian canon event

Ayda and Arthur adventures Ayda I am praying so hard for you

The new ayda art 🥺 baby girl

2, 22 and 26 for Unsung Lullabies (for the even more fic writers asks post) ☆

2. How did you come up with the idea?

I had actually made a post vaguely discussing the possibilities of Dream being turned into a child and cared for by Hob. He just has such adult-neglected-child riz, but I think it's something that wouldn't ever really come to light unless forced. Dream as an adult doesn't see anything wrong with how he was treated, so it's not like he's going to bring it up to Hob himself. Baby Dream doesn't have the same filter.

22. What is something you learned about yourself as a writer from the experience?

This was the first fic I ever did a proper outline for and HOO BOY am I apparently someone who needs outlines lololol. Before I just opened a word doc, wrote whatever I was vibing- OUT OF ORDER MIND YOU- and then was like "why is this so hard why I am struggling to make this coherent what a mystery". Outlines man. Outlines saved my life.

26. Share your favorite detail

Oooh this is a tough one. For a specific singular detail, I'm still very fond of this line:

(When Dream had first confessed his feelings to Hob, it had taken him a too-long moment to respond, because even though Dream’s words had been “I love you” it had sounded like “I’m sorry”.)

Loss - Bishop Losa x Reader

Summary: You try your best to comfort Obispo after his friend's death.

Word count: 1,0k+

Warnings: spoilers for season 2, angsty

Bishop knew you were smart, sometimes even too smart for your own good, and you could read people without effort. You had him all figured out just after your first meeting, which irritated him back then. He knew exactly what he was getting into, yet he still couldn’t let you walk away from him.

The moment he crossed the doorway, you were already staring at him with squinted eyes from your comfortable blanket nest on the couch. He didn’t even notice you were there until you spoke up.

“You’re upset,” you stated, closing the book you were reading. “What happened?” 

Bishop stopped in the corridor, his brows raised at your words, letting you know you saw right through him. 

“Jesus, woman, let me at least take my shoes off.” He scowled, challenging you to pry any further while unlacing his boots and putting them away.

“Hey, I’m very patient.” You ignored the unpleasant tone of his voice, sitting up and curling up your legs so you could rest your chin on your knees. You waited in silence so he could make his way toward you.

Bishop sat down beside you with a tired sigh, rubbing his temples. “Do we have to do this now? It’s late. You should be sleeping, cariña.”

It was well past midnight, and you would usually already be sprawled out on that couch, having fallen asleep while you waited for him to come home. Today it was different, though. You had a feeling that something terrible had happened, and it didn’t let you close your eyes even for a minute. So you spent the night reading books, waiting patiently for your husband to return so you could see with your own eyes that he was unharmed and well.

You watched him closely, your features softening into a half-smile at the term of endearment. You reached over to squeeze his hand reassuringly, and he let you, marveling at the feeling of your skin on his.

“Couldn’t really sleep without you next to me.”

Your words made Bishop finally look at you, his eyes staring into yours with recognition. He knew that feeling. He couldn’t fall asleep without you in bed beside him either. It just felt wrong when you weren’t there.

“I know. I’m sorry I couldn’t leave earlier,” Bishop mumbled out, raising your joined hands to leave a kiss on top of your palm. 

He knew he couldn’t always be there for you. Being the club’s president was time-consuming, more than he imagined. But it was everything to him, and you understood that and never made him feel bad about not having much time to spend with you. 

“It’s alright, don’t worry about it.” You propped your chin on his shoulder, covered by the club’s kutte. “Tell me what happened.”

Bishop ran his free hand through his hair, sighing yet again. He wasn’t sure how to put it into words. He never knew how to tell you about someone’s death, especially someone you had known and cared for.

“Hey, if you don’t want to, it’s okay too. But remember that you can tell me anything,” you assured, seeing the troubled expression on your husband’s face. 

Your thumb brushed against his knuckles, and you could feel him relax at your touch.

After several long moments, he took another deep breath and started talking cautiously, trying to suppress the anger bubbling deep inside of him. The anger at those stupid Vatos who took his friend away for good.

“We lost Riz today,” he said finally, cutting straight to the chase. 

Your eyes widened in shock. You didn’t expect it to be that serious before he told you that information. “I’m so sorry, baby,” you whispered. Your thumb brushed against his knuckles in a soothing motion.

Bishop closed his eyes, trying hard to push back the tears that threatened to spill out of his eyes. “Yeah. Me too.”

You knew Riz was a good guy and didn’t deserve to die so soon. None of the Mayans did; they were all genuinely good people, no matter how they shaped themselves to appear to others. They were like a family to you; you loved them wholeheartedly.

“What happened? Who did this?” The question was followed by a pause before you added quietly, “Are you going after them?” You held your breath as you waited for an answer, but you couldn’t help the tears that spilled down your cheeks.

Your thumb traced a few circles on the back of his hand. You could feel him shake lightly under your touch. It broke your heart to watch him in this state. It took him a minute or two before he found the strength to speak again.

“We will. The fuckers won’t know what hit them,” Bishop stated with certainty, wiping away the tears from his face with his arm. He never wanted to let anyone see him cry, yet you saw it more times than he wished you did. You were the one who taught him that it’s not a weakness to show emotions.

“Go to bed with me?” you proposed and got up from the couch, still holding his hand in yours. You didn’t comment on his decision. It wasn’t your place to say anything, especially since you didn’t have the whole picture, and it could’ve been pretty gruesome.

The man agreed wordlessly, letting you pull him to his feet and toward the door to your shared bedroom. You helped him take off his kutte, putting it on the backrest of one of the comfy chairs in the room, while Bishop got rid of his shirt and jeans, leaving him only in his boxers. 

You turned the lights off before looking at your husband, who had already crawled into the bed. He smiled weakly, beckoning you closer so you could cuddle up to him like always. You obliged quickly and snuggled up to him, wrapping your arms around his torso and holding him tight. Bishop kissed your forehead, making you look up at him. 

“I love you, mi rey,” you whispered as if anything louder could disturb the silence enveloping the room. You left a sweet kiss on his lips, giggling when he bit down lightly on your lower lip.

“Sleep well, mami.”

[authortobenamedlater]

Can we talk about those “hormone pellets”?

I have so many questions.

How do they work? What hormones are they suppressing? Why are they in the spine and not the brain? Obviously the answer to this last one is plot convenience because John couldn’t exactly go digging around in his skull trying to get the pellet out. Of course, it’s hardly safe to dig around in your spine either, but moving on.

Would the emotions return as quickly as we see on the show? I’ve seen people say no, but I say it’s possible. I’ve had two babies. The hormone drop is IMMEDIATE. I could feel it within hours both times. And it’s a dang roller coaster, I tell you what. I guess it depends on what hormones they used and how much?

Sorry if I’m being weird. But once you have a baby you think about hormones A LOT.

Does the pellet truly “mute everything” as Soren says? Or just select “adverse” responses? John obviously felt enough to know he didn’t like Cortana at first. And he felt enough to not drop Soren in the flashback scene, and enough to keep the secret.

And, you wouldn’t actually want to silence all emotional response. Anxiety tells your body to get ready because something is about to happen. Without it, you won’t get off the dime. The adrenaline rush increases focus, just ask anyone who’s done competitive athletics or been on stage. You can’t make decisions without emotion—trouble making decisions is very common in people with depression.

Speaking of depression, is that what the Spartans feel? Like “I should be upset about Nora-098 but I’m just not”? Or “That was funny and I should find it funny but I don’t”? Just going on my own experience, when my depression has gotten really bad I don’t feel much of anything and that’s how I’ll start thinking. Like I watched the Patriots win the Super Bowl and honest to God did not care. But I knew I SHOULD care.

All this said, it makes perfect sense that Halsey would want to blunt her Spartans’ emotions because if they don’t feel anything, or at least don’t feel much, they’ll be compliant and controllable.

Finally, I want to see some fun side effects of Spartans rediscovering their emotions. Like I want John to realize for the first time that the mess hall food is terrible. Kai and Riz experimenting with makeup like a couple of 12-year-olds. Vannak gets a paper cut or something small and it HURTS, because physical and emotional pain are processed the same way. Or maybe they all take out their pellets and are like, “Wowwwww turns out we’re all annoying and we hate each other.” I want one of them to start randomly laughing over a joke they heard years ago or start crying over their “eliminated” pets. OK the last one isn’t funny. Maybe they don’t even know what they feel? Like Anna’s “I don’t know if I’m elated or gassy” line in Frozen? I just want to see some of the lighter mishaps that would come with a sudden onslaught of feelings you don’t know how to handle.

“So it’s not me? It’s you? Huh, Bishop? Really? That is so cliche!”

You and Bishop had a heated argument in Templo. You weren’t sure how it started because one minute, it looked like it was all fine, and the next minute you were fighting and breaking off your relationship.

You had come over to check on him since he had been so distant lately after Riz’s death. He hadn’t been himself lately, especially not with you, and he showed it by not answering your calls or not coming home when he was supposed to. You figured that he just needed some time after the loss of his brother, but you were concerned and worried about his well-being, so you came over to check on him.

When you walked into Templo, he was all alone. The lights were dimmed; the only source of light was his cigarette in his mouth that lit up his face, a glass of whiskey in the other one.

He hadn’t heard you come in, his mind deep in thoughts about whatever was bothering him. “Bishop?” His head perked up at the sound of your voice, a small smile on his face that quickly dropped to the one he had before just moments ago. “Can I… come in?” You were still standing at the door, not sure if he wanted you to come in or not. “Of course,” his voice was a little hesitant, but you were glad that he accepted the invite.

You stood by his side, a hand was laid on one of his tense shoulders, “Is everything alright?” He didn’t say anything; he just signaled you to sit on his lap. You did so, and your arms went around his neck as one of his arms curled around you. The sides of your heads resting against one another as you took in the sound of each other’s even breaths and the faint noise from outside the room.

Nothing was said for a while, and everything felt fine and dandy until he spoke words that you would have nightmares about.

“I think we should break up…” That took you off guard. It looked like everything was okay now with you two softly cuddling together. Why did he say that?

“Wh-what?” Both of your hands were on his chest to pull you away a little to get a good look at him. “Wh-what are you saying, Bishop?” He made you get up so he could stand as well, standing at opposite sides of his chair.

“We should break up Y/N. I’m not… good for you… I can’t take care of you. I can’t protect you. You will end up hurt in the end or even worse dead if you stay by my side… like Riz.”

“Bullshit Bishop,” anger in your voice as you spoke, arms crossed in annoyance, “Riz knew what he signed himself up for when he joined the club; all of them did, I did as well when I decided to be with you. I know the risks of being involved in the club, and I don’t care. That is my own risk to take, and I won’t think twice about it if that means that I get to be with you.”

He let you have this little rant, not saying anything, just listening to you as he always did when you spoke. He respected your words, and he would never talk over you until you finished.

“Sweetheart, I… still think we need to break up. I love you. I always have, and I always will, and this has nothing to do with you as a person because you are just so… fuck… so wonderful, caring, and the most beautiful woman on this planet, but I don’t deserve you; I’m not good for you. I won’t corrupt you with my life in the club; I just can’t.”

He had no emotion on his face as he spoke. That was his way of trying to hide how he felt. He was angry and heartbroken on the inside, but this felt right in his heart. It felt right to let you go so that you would be safe and protect from him and the club, even if letting you go gave him enormous pain and suffering.

“So it’s not me? It’s you? Huh, Bishop? Really? That is so cliche!” Now you were almost screaming, not caring that the rest of them were just right outside those doors. “Please, Bishop,” your voice was just a whisper now, sad and innocent as you tried your best to persuade him into thinking more about this haste decision, “please don’t leave me.”

“I-I’m sorry querida… this… I just…” he couldn’t get his words out; they were too painful to utter. His head was now down in shame at the pain he had inflicted upon you. When he finally looked up at you, into those eyes that had him fall in love with you all over again, but they weren’t happy and cheerful like they always were when you looked at him. Tears were falling, and they looked hurt and empty.

“Y/N I-“ you cut him off, you didn’t want to hear any more from him, “I think I’ve heard enough Bishop… I’ll leave now… goodbye.” You just wanted to leave as soon as possible, not hearing his pleas for you to stay so he could explain himself.

Bishop didn’t register what had just happened until the sound of the Templo door closed. Only then did he realize how much he had fucked up and how much he regretted what just happened. He needed you in his life. He would always need to have you there by his side to love and comfort him, even when he was such a dick. Bishop knew he had fucked up big time. All you wanted was to try and help him in this challenging situation.

Coming home to your shared house, the first thing you did was find your suitcase to pack. All of your belongings wouldn’t fit into one, but for right now, you just packed a few clothes and such. You would need to agree with Bishop to pick the rest of your things another time, but the pain and hurt to be in your house with all the memories you created were too much, and you just needed to get out of there as fast as you could.

Amid your packing, you heard the front door open and close, heavy and rushed footsteps that belonged to no other than Bishop coming closer to your shared room. The door burst open, and he was met with you packing the last few things before you closed it and got up to stand. “I’m leaving.”

“Y/N I-“ “I’ll see you soon, Bishop.”

You quickly went to the front door, ready to get out of that house. Bishop was hot on your tail. He needed to fix this; he just needed to. He couldn’t lose the only thing in life that meant so much to him. He called your name again and again as you went through the house to the door.

“What, Bishop?” You finally answered; your body turned towards him just as you were about to open the door.

“Please don’t leave! Please baby! I-I didn’t mean any of those things! I didn’t know what got over me.”

He would expect you to forgive and forget as easy as it was to breathe, but you wouldn’t let him have that. He hurt you badly, and the words he said did have some truth to it.

“You hurt me, Bishop, do you know that? I just… can’t forgive so easily… I just need to get out of here for a while. Maybe we both need some time apart before we continue this.” You felt bad about leaving him while he was still grieving the loss of Riz, but he wouldn’t accept your reassurance and comfort, so in your mind, you thought that it would be best to leave him for a while so he could take it at his own pace, and when you were both ready again you would make this work.

“Goodbye, Bishop,” and with that, you were out the door.

————

It had been a few days after you had left your shared home. Coco and Letty had been so kind to let you stay with them while you worked shit out. You hadn’t heard anything from Bishop personally, but Coco came home with updates for you. Bishop was sad, angry, and snappy at all of them. It didn’t sound like he was getting better with you gone, and after a few days, you realized that it was a mistake that you left.

That’s when you decide to go back to the house and talk with him, work out how you would move forward. Upon arrival, the place was dark, and it looked like no one was home. When you entered the front door, a strong smell of cigarettes could be felt in your nostrils. It was a sign that he indeed was here. Following the scent into the living room, you found him on the sofa with smoke in hand. The room was dark except for a lamp in the corner that gave off a faint light.

“What the fuck are you doing here,” he spat out after taking a long drag from the smoke. Brought back a little, you blinked your eyes rapidly a few times to get your bearings.

“Nice to see you, Bishop,” you answered sarcastically while your arms crossed and you propped your hip.

“You left me, didn’t you, so why the fuck are you back?” You couldn’t help but roll your eyes at him and how he was acting.

“You didn’t answer my calls when I tried to reassure and comfort you when… he died,” you didn’t dare say his name in case it triggered something in Bishop, “and then you talk about wanting to break up with me? I just thought you needed some time Bishop and besides, you hurt me with what you said. I came back now to work something out, but I can clearly see that you don’t want me here. So I’ll just leave you to it.” You turned on your heel and marched out toward the front door.

“Get back here!” His heavy footsteps could be heard behind you. Just as you were about to open the door to leave, Bishop grabbed your forearm a little more hard than he intended to, pulling you towards him.

“Ouch!” You yanked your arm away from his tight grip that hurt you a little. Two of your hands went to his chest to push him a little away from you. “Do not touch me, Bishop!”

All you did was stare at each other as it felt forever, but it was only a couple of seconds. The built-up tension that had been brewing for the last few days could be felt between the two of you. You knew where this would end up, like it always did, with some hot and steamy make-up sex, because as much as you got angry and frustrated with one another, you both couldn’t keep it up for long and would eventually snap.

You tried your best this time not to make that happen, but you failed to move an inch, to get away from the situation you knew was going to happen. His eyes told you all his secrets; they were dark and dilated, hungry with the need of you after so long.

It didn’t take long for him to take significant strides towards you, pinning you between him and the outer door, holding your hands above your head so you couldn’t touch him.

His hungry lips found your desperate ones, moving them against you almost animalistic, sucking and biting your bottom lip. They slowly moved down towards the valley of your breasts but not before biting and sucking on your pulse point, which made your knees buckle.

He tapped the back of your thighs to let you know that he wanted you to wrap your legs around him. Doing so, he walked you back to the shared bedroom effortlessly. Once inside, he dropped you down and ordered you to take off all your clothes. He watched as you stripped down each article of clothing, his hand palming his growing erection that started to become too tight in his jeans.

When all of the clothing was off, he took some time to admire your body, his heart beating faster and faster as he was watching you. Even though you always got insecure when he was staring at you like that, he continuously reassured you that for him, it was like looking at a piece of beautiful art.

“Don’t you dare to fucking cover yourself,” he spoke in an almost aggressive tone when he saw you cross your arms around your stomach, trying to hide from him. “You are perfect, doll, don’t ever hide from me, you understand?” You gave him a nod of your head, telling him that you understood, “now come here,” he beckoned you with his finger to come closer to him.

When your faces were inches away from each other, he pointed down to the floor, and you knew what that meant. He was in control tonight, and you had no other choice but to listen to him. You happily went on your knees, no questions asked as you loved to bring Bishop such great pleasure with your mouth. It was one of your favorite things that you did for him.

“Are you gonna be a good pet tonight and listen to me?” A faint “yes” left your lips; something Bishop wasn’t too happy about. His hand went behind his ear, “I can’t hear you.” “Yes, I will be good tonight.” “Good because the night is young and I’m gonna take my sweet time at destroying you tonight.”

To Be Continued...

I AM SCREAMING, MY FRIENDS. I just saw the sneak peek from Halo 1x09 that’s on Paramount+ at the end of the Halo the Series Declassified for 1x08 and if I had a way to show you that part of the video, I would. As it is, though, here are some screencaps I took from it under the cut.

UPDATE! Paramount+ put the episode of Declassified on their Youtube channel so I’ve embedded it at the bottom of this post. 😍

Needless to say, SPOILERS for Halo 1x09.

Click for Spartan sized pictures. 😉

First off, Kai, honey bear, I love you to distraction but please STOP TAKING YOUR HELMET OFF at times like this. Baby, please. I love seeing your pretty face but not when somebody is threatening to shoot you in it.

*breath*

That said, okay, so, um, whyyyyyy would Vannak and Riz think that holding Kai hostage is the way to get John to surrender? Yeah, probably just because she’s on his side and they know he wouldn’t let a member of his team die and...  Wait, what’s that sound?

Oh yeah, that’s the sound of my JOHN/KAI SHIPPER GOGGLES FLYING ONTO MY FACE. I ain’t even sorry right now.

My fields are watered, my crops are flourishing, my heart is full. 😉 Your mileage may vary but this is totally how I’m choosing to interpret this scene for right now. Vannak and Riz know how John feels about Kai. Back pre-Halsey’s Order 66*, they used to roll their eyes and make sarcastic heart hands at each other behind their backs. *slaps desk* ⭐💖⭐

*I saw somebody call that her Order 66 but I’ve read SO MUCH Halo stuff recently and now I can’t find who said it. If it was you, please let me know so I can credit you for calling it that because it’s perfect! 😎

UPDATE: It was @caffeinated-bitterness​ here! Yes, that is so spot-on! 😎👍

29:50 is where the sneak peek for 1x09 starts! ⭐💖⭐

Game Night - Ezekiel Reyes

a/n: sorry that I went MIA again. y’all know how it is. here’s this. I cried. 

taglist: @woahitslucyylu​ @thoughtsmeander2tumblingblindly @peaches007​ @cocotheclown​

You and EZ had been together for a little over a year, him being patched for a few months now. Most of the time the two of you were too exhausted to do much of anything but eat dinner and sleep. But once a month, at least, the two of you hosted game night for the club at your house. It wasn’t anything crazy, as all the members brought their wives and Coco usually brought Letty. It was something for all of you to do as a group that didn’t involve killing anyone, so everyone was on board. 

You had taken off work early today, and then wasn’t scheduled for tomorrow and you thought that tonight would be a great night for the infamous game night. You had been cooking literally all day, as feeding the whole crew was a job in itself. EZ had made sure that everyone knew to be there around 7:30, so they could all eat with plenty of time to play whatever game they decided on. It was nearing on 6:30 now, and you had a little mix of everything. The large spread calling your name as the smells made for a delicious enticement. 

You were keeping an eye on the rolls in the oven when you heard EZ’s bike pull up. You immediately smiled and peeked out the kitchen window to see him backing the bike up toward your garage so that all the other members could park with ease. 

You cracked the oven open to see your rolls a crispy brown. You grin, grabbing an oven-mitt and pulling them out.  You’re arranging them into a oblong bowl when EZ walks through the door, throwing his keys onto the small table beside it. He strolls into the kitchen and you swear you almost hear him moan at the spread of food. 

“How long have you been cooking?” EZ asks, walking into the kitchen and leaning against the counter, watching you. 

You place the last roll in the bowl, and then grab the cling wrap from underneath the sink to wrap around them hoping to keep them fresh for when the men start rolling in. 

“Feels like forever.” You say, leaning to give him a sweet kiss before pulling the cling wrap out of it’s box. 

You spend the next hour swatting at his hands, and then forcing him to go shower before everyone got there. You just hear the water turn on when you hear the first few bikes pull up. 

You touch up your lipstick and then open the door to step out onto the porch to greet everyone. Angel, of course, is first, him planting a kiss to your cheek as he walks inside. Then, Coco strolls up your porch, with a less than enthused Letty in toll. 

“Coco...” You greet with a grin, pulling him into a hug. You feel his jaw twitch as he bites back a smile. He also presses a kiss to your cheek and then strolls inside, stopping under the door frame to wait on Letty. She gives you a tight smile and a nod and you return it with a friendly grin, watching as they disappear inside. 

Gilly jogs up the steps and pulls you into hug. “I’m gonna give you a hug while EZ isn’t around to get pissed about it.” You both laugh, and he presses a kiss to your cheek before he also walks inside. 

You follow him inside to wait for the other members. Angel, Gilly and Coco always show up early so that they feel like they get first dibs on the food. You swat Angel’s hand away from the fried tortillas and then wink at Letty as she swipes a strawberry from the fruit tray. 

“Boy scout in the shower?” Coco asks, leaning against a wall. 

You smile and nod. “He should be almost done.” 

Angel, Gilly and Coco all exchange a look before they’re rushing down the hallway to the bathroom to pester him. 

You laugh and move the bowl of rolls to the end of the spread, and then making sure everything still looks fresh. 

“No lemonade this time?” Letty asks. Her eyes are peering at you from the opening in the kitchen and you smile. 

“You know, I forgot all about it. Do you wanna make some while we wait for the others?” You ask, walking to a cabinet above the stove and pulling out the lemonade mix. 

Letty hesitates for a second and then nods. “Yeah, that’d be cool.” 

You wave her over and show her how much mixture to put into the pitcher and then how much water. She nods, and then starts scooping. You smile encouragingly and then ask about her day. Of course she only gives you simple answers but you figure that that’s better than nothing. 

“I fucking hate you guys.” You hear EZ grumble and you see the three of them shoving each other as they return back to the living room. You and Coco make eye contact and he looks proud to see Letty doing something productive. 

“And I just fill the water up to this line?” Letty asks for clarification, holding the pitcher up to the light to get a better look. You hum and nod, pointing to the line in question. “Seems too easy.” She says, shaking her head, but she sticks the pitcher under the faucet and turns it on anyway. 

“I like to stir mine as I fill it up, but that’s up to you.” You say, laying a spoon down on the counter. You decide leave her be, but as your turning to cross into the living room, she picks the spoon up and starts stirring. 

EZ’s in a freshly ironed black t-shirt (thanks to you) and a different pair of jeans. His cut is folded over the back of one of the recliners as he ties his boots on. 

“Well don’t you look handsome.” You comment, and the boyish grin he gives you makes you smile. He finishes tying his boots and then stands, giving you a short kiss. His hand lingers on your hip and there’s a familiar twinkle in his eye that you can’t wait to explore later. 

“I don’t think y’all have time for a quickie.” Angel remarks, and then picks up the clock to look at for emphasis. Gilly and Coco both laugh but EZ just shakes his head. 

The five of you sit in the living room and talk for a little while before Letty strolls in carrying two glasses of lemonade. She hands one to you with a proud look on her face. 

“It’s not bad.” She says, taking a sip of her own and then looking at you expectantly. 

You smile and then take a drink. “This is really good! Better than mine, for sure.” 

Letty smiles proudly, lifting her head a little and then takes a seat next to Coco who gives her a soft look. 

It isn’t much longer until you hear the motorcycles rolling up outside. You stand and smooth out your dress, and EZ pulls his cut over his shoulders. The two of you open up the front door and greet the older Mayans as the walk in, along with their wives. 

Before you know it, everyone’s already eaten and are scattered across your living room with a handful of cards, and a drink. Gilly, Coco, Riz and Angel are all playing a game of poker. Bishop, Tranq, and almost all of the wives are focused on a game of rummy. And you, Letty, EZ and Creeper are playing monopoly. Creeper is losing badly and he’s already so deflated by Letty’s natural gift toward capitalizing that he’s not even putting up a fight anymore. 

“Shit, man!” Creeper curses as Letty lands on yet another free parking. You want to be mad for your own game but you can’t help but feel at least a little responsible for the wicked grin on Letty’s face as she scoops all of the monopoly money towards her pile. 

EZ’s been particularly touchy for most of the night. Little things. A hand on your back as you offer drinks. A helping hand when someone actually takes you up on your offer. A hand on your thigh while the four of you rotate through your monopoly turns. A kiss to the hairline when he catches you gleaming at a giddy Letty. 

After most of the house clears out, and you’re waving goodbye to the slew of bikes rumbling down your street, you make your way inside to see EZ picking up beer bottles and paper plates, his hands balancing way too many. You smile, and rush over to him, praying to god he doesn’t spill any remains on your floors. 

“You don’t have to do that, baby.” You say, taking some of the plates from his grasp to lessen the load. He shakes his head, and continues to help straighten up your house. 

After most of the trash is picked up and the dirty dishes are at least near the sink, EZ’s focus turns to you. His hands slithering around your waist as your scrubbing one of the pans. 

“Leave that for tomorrow.” He mutters, planting wet kisses up your neck. You smile and lean into him. 

“If I do it now, then I don’t have to do it tomorrow, though.” You say, and you feel his chest rumble from behind you. 

“Fair enough.” He sighs, and then picks up a sponge. 

“What are you doing?” You ask, shaking your head. “You don’t have to do that. I got it.” 

“If we both do it, it gets done faster.” He says, giving you a sly grin. So there the two of you are, in your kitchen, talking softly over the soapy bubbles as you wash the dishes and he dries them. And he’s right, in less than twenty minutes, the entire kitchen is cleaned up, and the dishes are put away. 

You plop down on the couch with an exasperated breath, and EZ sits down next to you. 

“Thank you for tonight.” He says, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. 

“It was my pleasure.” You say, grinning. “But fuck, if I’m not exhausted.” 

He laughs. “It’s because of Angel, isn’t it? Can’t get his own beer for anything in this world.” 

“Definitely Angel.” You joke back, before leaning down to take off your wedges. Your ankles were definitely going to be sore tomorrow. 

EZ’s quiet for several moments and when you look up, he’s staring at you. A very different look on his face and it makes your stomach drop. 

“What?” You ask, your hand immediately swiping against your cheeks to check for anything. 

You watch as he swallows, and then opens his mouth, “Marry me.” 

You blink, mouth agape, and shake your head. “EZ, wha-”

And before you can ask him anything, he’s getting on a knee in front of you. 

“I don’t have a ring because I just looked at you just now and realized that I won’t ever be happy if I don’t have this forever. So, we can pick out a ring tomorrow, but will you marry me?” He says, taking one of your hands into his own. 

You’re crying. Of course you’re crying. “Of course! Yes!” You say, squealing as he lifts you off the couch, wrapping your legs around his waist. He buries his head in your neck, his strong arms holding you tightly against him. 

“I love you so much, Ezekiel.” You whisper, pressing a sloppy kiss to his lips through your tears. 

“I love you, Y/N. I can’t wait to be your husband.” He whispers back.

Wait You Are Engaged?

Riz Ariza x Reader

Requested by @everyhowlmarksthedead // I WANT TO REQUEST 10 AND 13 WITH MY BABY BOY RIZZZZZ 🥴🥰 thank you, my lil slut.

Prompts: “Excuse me. I have to go make a scene.” and “It was supposed to be a secret!”

Join The TagList Here 💜 // Riz Ariza Masterlist

All you wanted to do was scream from the rooftop that you were engaged but both you and Riz decided to keep it a secret for now, especially with all the shit that was going on he didn’t want to draw attention to you and out a target on your back, you completely understood so wore your engagement ring on your right hand so to anyone else it looked like a normal ring.

Tonight was just a standard Friday night, the music was pumping and the beer was flowing. You were sat on top of the bar, with your feet on a stool, chatting to Bishop whilst Riz made a phone call. You swore your mum preferred him to her own daughter and was always calling him for a chat.

“So you and Riz aye” Bishop smirked nudging your knee with his bottle “things are getting pretty serious”

“You may be my Tio but I’m not afraid to punch you” You laughed pulling the bottle to your lips. “I mean you have eyes so use them”

“Definitely your mothers daughter” he smirked. “But in all seriousness kiddo it’s good to see you so happy, but you know if he upsets or hurts you let me know and I will beat the shit out of him”

“I know, you keep telling me” you rolled your eyes. “I don’t think he is that stupid because he would have to face the rath of mum”

“Nobody wants that” Bishop shuddered.

Out of the corner of your eyes you watched Riz walk back into the clubhouse his phone still pressed against his ear, you knew your mum would be rambling about anything and everything. You didn’t mind as he was the first boyfriend you had that she liked so you left her two it. At first she wasn’t happy that you were getting involved with the Mayans but knew it would happen due to how close to Bishop you were.

You kept your eyes trained on your fiancée, as one of Vikki’s girls approached him, trailing her hands over his body. Everyone knew you were with Riz but some liked to push their looks, but she had picked a fight she wouldn’t win. You watched as Riz kept trying to push her away but she wasn’t listening.

“Excuse me” You said jumping off the counter “I have to go make a scene”

“It’s been a while since you kicked off so have at it kiddo” Bish laughed shaking his head.

All the guys were watching, they knew as soon as you jumped off the bar shit was going to go down and none of them would stand in your way.

The moment you got close to the skank you wrapped your fingers on her hair, yanking her head back making her cry out in pain.

“Yeah I gotta go” Riz said “yeah the Rottweiler is out to play”

“What the fuck bitch” she cried as you dragged her off Riz “you need to go back on your leash”

“Remember who the fuck you are talking to” you growled as you slammed her head against the table before lifting her head back up and slamming your fist into her nose, the sound of her nose breaking satisfyed your soul along with the blood pouring down her face. “You listen bitch and you listen good, if you ever lay a finger on my fiancée again I will do more than break your fucking nose. Understood”

“Yes” she cried as you let her go.

“Sweetheart it was supposed to be a secret” Riz laughed pulling you into a hug. “But now everyone knows let’s get this ring into the correct hand”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t going to let her get her skanky claws into what is mine” you laughed watching as he moved your ring into your left hand.

“What’s yours aye?” He smirked, raising his brow at you.

“Yes and you know it” you giggled before kissing him softly.

You felt all the eyes in the room burning into the back of your head, spinning around so your back was against Riz’ you smiled at them all.

“Since when did you pop the question?” Bish asked with a huge grin on his face.

“A couple of weeks ago now” Riz grinned “I’m just glad she said yes”

“You do know what you have got yourself in for now right?” Bish smirked.

“Urm hello I’m still here you know asshole” you laughed glaring at him.

“Oh yeah I know” Riz chuckled “she’s a pain in the ass but she’s my pain in the ass”

The Report Card – Fantasy High: The Seven Ep 5

Through a Glass, Darkly

Welcome back to the Temple of the Earth Defiant where the girls and their magical horses (and one pony!) have found refuge from the strange, twisted, fae creatures that have been chasing them. The statue of Asha Hammerheart that Ost animated last episode is still alive and wrecking house on the remaining harpies and beasts that are foolish enough to keep fighting and the rest soon get the hint and flee. 

Ost does some healing (boosted by the ambient Hallow effect of the temple which gives everyone a short rest) and then, seeing the damage to the temple caused by erosion, starts using Mending to fix things up. Her friends help out too with Sam and Yelle being most effective--Sam by repairing water damage and Yelle by creating tree cover and other druid-y tricks. But of course, we can’t overlook Katja’s crucial addition of carving “A Horse is a Home” into one of the walls of this sacred temple. 

Anyway, the girls are nesting super hard, the horses are having their scrapbooking reviewing club (an insane thing that was established last episode) and then Sam asks a question. Did y’all mention something about a photo of me going viral? Everyone’s like yeah, but don’t worry, you looked super hot. That’s not the part Sam was worried about. What she’s worried about and what all the girls except Zelda don’t really seem to know is that Sam doesn’t really have a social media presence. So like, 180k and climbing views (as decided by a dice roll) isn’t really what she wants. She scrolls through the comments really quick and sees that they’re not awful but one person is like, “Hey that girl looks a lot like that character from that old show”. Which Sam doesn’t love. She says that she’s fine but also that, even without an Insight check, she’s obviously not. 

Sam kind of looks to Zelda to bail her out and Zelda is like, “Hey, I’m gonna delete this video.” The other girls follow suit, even though they don’t quite know what’s happening. When they have to split up to investigate, Sam has Zelda kind of bail her out again and they split up to go check a nest outside--Zelda waving off Danielle when she wants to go with. Ant and Yelle decide to check out a cache of some treasure they saw earlier and Ost and Katja stay with the horses to keep fixing the temple up. Penny initially goes with Ant and Yelle but rushes back to be with Ost and Kat when Ost discovers a hidden lock while she’s fixing a wall.

So, the girls are split up, let’s run all these scenes.

Antiope and Yelle

Ant and Yelle go see the pile of treasure (near the statue of dwarven paladin Yvonna) which they learn is like a “take a penny leave a penny” situation for weapons and items. They were left by adventures who were similarly chased here and you can take what you need as long as you leave something to help others. Like, “Oh no I only have an ice sword and I need flaming arrows.” It doesn’t have to be equivalent exchange, you just need to leave something useful.

In this space, Yelle feels a weird melancholy and like they’re within the watch of something vast and powerful. She tries to check for TK’s presence but rolls low. Antiope leaves her Kalvaxus killing shortsword and takes some really nice, white feather fledged arrows with mirror tips and an ax Kat wants as a present for her dad. Danielle takes a bandolier of potions (3 healing and 2 mystery I believe) and leaves a bunch of mushrooms. Some of them are psychedelic and Ant takes one because this is probably a good time to be high, right?

It’s not messing with her competence obviously though because she rolls a 25 on Primeval Awareness and gets a weird sense, like something is closing in on this place. And like something very powerful is bleeding, which combined with the chaos of the mountains might explain the weird harpies and the cat/dogs. But she’s high so she explains this is a very spacey, stoner way. Probably a good thing she’s with Yelle.

Sam and Zelda

Sam can fly and Zelda can basically walk vertically with her goat legs so they check out the nest. Well, ostensibly that’s what they’re doing. Really they’re just having a heart to heart. Sam thanks Zelda for saving her ass and apologizes profusely for being so short with her. Zelda gives her a huge mid-air hug and says it’s not a big deal because she knows Sam is just lashing out because she’s hurting but Sam says it’s not a good enough excuse and she’s truly sorry. It’s been her coping mechanism for so long but she doesn’t want to be that way. She tells Zelda that the Everpetals are divorcing and that she’s living alone and Zelda says that any one of the girls would be happy to have her stay with them. Sam further explains that this is a big part of the reason she’s been so broken up about the possibility of their group splitting up and Zelda immediately takes out her crystal and texts her “I’m in” in the thread, breaking Sam again. 

Since they’re in heart to heart mode, Sam tells her that she talked to her bio-mom and an agent and she’s not sure what to do. Zelda says that she’s gonna be spectacular no matter what she does and she doesn’t have to do any of them but it’s cool doors are opening for her but also Antiope and Penny are gonna be PISSED that she’s out here making side plans after she gave them so much shit for theirs. Lol, well it’s a nice moment in the meantime and we cut to…

Penny, Ost, and Katja 

While Penny is lockpicking (and also trying to teach one of the horses to lockpick because sure) Katja and Ost go talk to the statue of Asha Hammerheart. It seems to be animated with at least some level of her true consciousness from beyond the grave and that she can kind of woge into her statue when she wants, which is cool. She’s been there for like 250 years so that’s a lot of history to see. 

Ost is maybe the most polite we’ve ever seen her talking to Asha (at least to begin with lol) and they ask her about TK. Asha says she saw TK show up 12 years ago but she never left, at least not through the front door. And then about 2 years ago (right around when they were in the crystals) that’s when the harpy queen showed up. At first they were normal and then they started mutating. Also, recently, Korra (one of the other statues/heroes) saw a woman in the mountains--not TK. 

Ost then takes a page from the book of one St. Kristen Applebees and asks, “Hey. What’s the deal with our god? He never talks to us, does he just suck?” Asha--who has never talked to him even though she’s a martyred hero and literally in dwarf heaven makes some excuses for the guy but Katja scoffs at them. “If people wanna take care of you, they do.” Ost then straight up asks if Logran Soulforger is even real which sets Asha off but Ost isn’t mad AT her, she’s mad FOR her. You go and do all this cool shit to the point where you have this cool ass statue, you fully DIE for him and he doesn’t even say hi? With a 21 Persuasion check, Asha admits that yeah, she would have liked some recognition. She decides she’s gonna go do some talking to some people and leaves after getting Ost’s number but before they can ask more about the woman Korra saw (who they think is Charity). 

OK, that’s all the small group stuff! Everyone comes back as Penny finishes up with the lock and they go down into this room that’s full of polished, precious stones. This is probably where people who were upkeeping the temple stayed. While everyone else is going down, Sam feels some powerful magical pull--much like her episode 1 Lightning Lure--calling her from the top of the stairs so she goes back up. We’ll get back to her in a bit. 

Penny rolls a high check to clock what’s going on down here. First off, she finds flintlock bullets and airship uniform scraps which makes it seem like there was a battle here involving some airship guys from the Baronies. Which is not just the place of origin of Riz’s imaginary Romance Partner. It’s a cluster of nations known for high rates of monarchical turnover and renaissance style intrigue. I’m picturing just a nation of [REDACTED]s from Crown of Candy. 

With all of this stuff, Penny finds an emblem of a billionaire airship mogul named Lord Talcidimir Tallbreeze who is a friend of her dad’s. Yelle is immediately like FUCK billionaires which isn’t plot relevant but it’s nice to know she’s always on brand. 

Oh also, Penny just casually finds the Legendarium so that’s neat. 

To be safe, Ost casts Protection from Energy on Ant (who is the one who knows how to use it) and brings out her Spirit Guardian (who is a combo of her mom, nona, and Asha, with her dad’s rings). Ant checks it out and sees that there are currently no A, B, or C quests in all of Spyre. While Penny cross references the bylaws to see if there’s a way to get around this, Yelle does some druid BS that I still do not understand to use the crystals in the cave to jailbreak this super powerful magical Artifact so they can just have copies on their crystals. While that’s happening, let’s check on Sam. 

Sam goes back up the staircase where she sees Ending who doesn’t look menacing at all, just extremely sad. She’s looking out the mouth of the cave and, when she turns, Sam can see she’s crying blood. 

“What’s wrong?” asks Sam, the acid-tongued but good-hearted. “Can I help you?”

With a 25 Persuasion check to get her to talk, Ending apologizes for scaring her and her friends before. She didn’t mean to. She sometimes forgets that her very nature can be frightening and dangerous to others. She says that when she escaped, she tried to rejoin her sisters but found their mirrors shattered and them gone. Sam thought they escaped but that doesn’t make sense to Ending. If they had, why wouldn’t they have freed her as well?

Sam asks who her sisters were and we finally get true names for Ending and her sisters:

Chrona, Terra, Pyrria, Nira, Zefira, Anima, and herself, Talura (which is what I’ll be calling her now that we know). Talura is the baby, the youngest. Sam realizes she’s talking about the Eidolons and Talura seems surprised and a bit pleased that Sam recognizes them. 

Sam asks if she can hug her and Talura hugs her tightly in a very cold embrace that doesn’t hurt. Downstairs, she hears her friends (Penny specifically) freaking about about the lack of quests but she doesn’t break the hug. 

“My own sisters are struggling right now but I’m gonna stay with you because you don’t know where yours are. But maybe we can find them.”

Talura clocks that the way that Sam is being is her true nature, not the bitchiness she often uses as a shield. Then she starts to talk about her history. That she and her sisters were sealed away when the gods were done with them (Sam can relate to being used and set aside) and the only way out was death. Talura has been crying and looking for her sisters to no avail. Her tears of blood leaking seems to be what caused the monsters to mutate which is in line with what Yelle and Ant were sensing. 

Talura doesn’t think anything could have destroyed her sisters so she’s very confused. Sam offers Talura her Mirror of the Past because it almost knocked out Sam to get god-tier information but Talura presumably won’t have that problem. Talura offers her a boon in exchange for this great kindness but Sam says she doesn’t need any quid pro quo. “This is just because you’re hurting.”

Talura is supremely touched and still wants to do something for her new...friend? Sam accepts the title and says that what she needs is some help on her GED quest. Once she explains what she means, Talura again recognizes Aguefort and is like, Oh, you need a quest? I can totally help with that! As we learned earlier, these guys are kinda genie connected so it’s not super surprising when Talura very happily goes full your wish is my command.

Downstairs, a Class A quest suddenly appears in Spyre on the screen. 

Back upstairs, Talura says that it’s been too long since she got to grant a wish and seems really happy about it. Sam gives her the mirror so she can check what happened to her sisters but when she does, she totally flips out and gets super angry--not at Sam, just at whatever she’s looking at. She can hardly believe it. Sam tries to figure out what’s wrong but she just gets super big and then disappears into a puff of smoke, leaving Sam's mirror on the ground, covered in frost. 

Downstairs, the Class A quest expands across the entire globe and then the Legendarium cracks. Ost’s spirit guardian disappears because of alarm bells ringing in the afterlife. And the girls learn that a Class A quest is a quest that affects the whole MULTIVERSE. Yikes!

So anyway, they girls go upstairs to check on Sam (on a bear that Penny makes because sure) and they see that something clearly just happened with Sam. Yelle asks if she’s good and Sam is like yeahhhh I don’t think ANYONE is good right now. Sam seems like she’s about to cry and Antiope instantly forgets all the petty bullshit going on between them and rushes to make sure she’s not hurt. 

Sam gives the girls a rundown of what happened and Yelle concretely puts together what I said earlier about Talura’s tears messing with nature. 

Sam wants to check her mirror to see what Talura saw and Brennan says she can do it the safe way with risk of failure of the surefire way with risk of personal harm. She, of course, picks door 2 and rolls a 13 on her con save which means she rises into the air like Storm from X-Men, eyes wide, and then instantly passes out and goes into shock. Antiope is there to catch her as she does. 

Also, she looks SUPER hot while falling on a 31. Honestly, it’s a shame she doesn’t allow herself a social media presence. 

Anyway, we’ll get to what she sees in a bit. Yelle and Ant make sure she’s OK (she is, but the has to be knocked out for this or she won’t be able to handle it). 

Penny tells them what she knows about each Eidolon from her earlier research which is what element each goes with:

Chrona: Time (Related to astral and elemental planes) 

Terra: Earth

Pyrria: Fire

Nira: Water

Zefira: Air

Anima: Life

Talura: Death 

They also talk about TK never leaving via the front door and all this airship stuff being around. Maybe she left out the top of the mountain on an airship? Katja has the hookup with this Tal guy (she’s met him when she was younger) so they decide they need to check it out once Sam is good. 

The girls fix the Legendarium and Ost, when she goes to pray for her spells for the night, doesn’t pray to her usual god. She prays to Asha. And not only does she get her spells, she also gets a new one--Commune. 

And now let’s get to what Sam is seeing in her Vision Coma. 

She was told by Talura that the only way out of the mirrors given to them by the gods was death. And what Talura saw that drove her to do whatever multiverse threatening thing that she did was every one of her sisters walking out of their mirrors and choosing death. I will specifically highlight that the oldest sister leaves almost immediately with a small, “Oh,” of realization and Anima, the closest sister to her seems terrified before coming to a joyful realization and leaving.

And that’s the end of the episode! Join us next week when apparently there is talk of a masquerade ball?????? Brennan, you shouldn’t have!   

Superlatives 

Sam: Most Likely to Accidently Snag a Brand Deal

Did you guys ever read the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche? Where Psyche was born so hot that it was basically a curse and she was miserable because she was so hot that Aphrodite hated her? That’s Sam. She is incapable of almost dying in a non-aesthetic way. It’s like a Pantene commercial every time. This is my favorite running gag.

Random Thoughts

Man, I have so many feelings about Sam. She’s such a BITCH in so many ways but it’s so obvious that she has a good heart. Every time she has an opportunity to be nice with no gain--helping Lola find her dog, magically turning the pages for the horses during book club, fully refusing a boon from Talura--she does. And I’m glad she gave Zelda such a sincere apology and didn’t let the extenuating circumstances absolve her because she said some pretty uncalled for things. But at her core she’s so kind and I want only good things for her. 

Also those of you who know me from my FH recaps know I’m a messy bitch for sister stuff so Talura and Sam both referring to the other maidens as her sister had me dead. You can tell when something in this show is f’ing me up when I just start directly quoting instead of paraphrasing. 

Katja being richer than Helio but having no idea what any of the brands Ost is mentioning are is peak comedy.  

As is Ant’s response to the take and penny leave a penny translation from Ost, “No, Penny didn’t come with us.”

Ost: I get service in the afterlife.

You could really tell which of the players watched Sophomore Year because the Baronies came up and all of them went into fight or flight immediately. 

Very Elsa vibes from Sam during the top of the scene with Talura. (Sam is, of course, a better sister but we simply do not have time to get into my feelings on Frozen 2 right now).

I was wondering why this season was called just “The Seven” when it dropped initially. Like, was it snappier? Did they not want to use the word “maiden”? But they still call themselves the Seven Maidens in the show so it’s probably not that. Now I’m wondering if it’s just to parallel the 7 of them w/ the 7 Eidolons. 

So it seems clear based on the reactions of the first and sixth sisters that they didn’t just “go gently into that good night” as Ant would say and ditch Talura. It seems like they figured something out. Also Brennan isn’t really a “and then they all died, the end” kind of DM, you know? Credit to my friend @camwritery for getting here before I did but the gods said the only way out was death and she is death so you know? Those def seem like puzzle pieces that go together. 

The only crit rolled this episode is a 1 by Penny which she gets to reroll as a halfling.
