Interesting. The guidebook suggests that mikuni's cold-hearted side might stem from him wanting to avenge his mother.

Trying to kill misono out of jealousy and getting caught in the act by mikuni lead to jeje killing her before she could commit suicide, but the true instigator behind kiriko's suffering was lily, right?

I'm kind of waiting for the moment mikuni reveals his true motives and turns against lily. It would be kind of ironic if the person lily ruined so many lives for ended up rejecting the destiny lily had imagined for them.

Daily excerpt from Underline the Black 64:

Augus did come closer, and Efnisien tensed when Augus gently placed an arm around his back and held him in a light embrace. The touch was confusing, and Efnisien had instincts to fight back, to go still, to run, to bite. His breathing sped up.  'Shhh. You've been traumatised, Efnisien. Gary's in an ardolphogen rage, which you might not have encountered before.' Oh no, Efnisien knew all about those. Gwyn used to have them. Maybe that was why the numbness and the nausea felt so familiar.    'Whatever you did was likely one more thing in a list of things that was waiting to set him off,' Augus said, his voice hushed now they were so close. He actually had kind of a nice voice - sinister as fuck, but still...nice. 'We're not going to kill you. We're removing you from Gary's cottage for your safety, and his safety. It might be temporary, it might not, and that part will be difficult, because you've both started the bonding process.' Efnisien shook his head.  'You have,' Augus said firmly. 'I don't like being argued with. Now, I don't know how much you're taking in, at the moment, but I'm going to take you to Temsen's office.' 'Gary's office,' Efnisien whispered.  He saw Augus' slow smile from the corner of his eye. 'I suppose it is. But these days, it's very much Temsen's office. I'm going to take you there, and Temsen is going to decide what to do with you. It won't be murder. Honestly. We're not barbarians. Is that the kind of thing you've been raised to expect from people?'

As such, there will probably be little to no writing done during the period of time I'll be gone. I might hop on now and then to answer something, but I expect because his family is eager to meet me, I'm going to be bun-napped lmao. this also means i'll probably be pretty radio silent on discord too sdflkjghd

If Ted and Rebecca were never meant to be, then I want to know why Jason made the choices he did with certain things. Because they ended up pointing towards them. We didn't just make this up.

How on earth did he not think that we would think something was there, with Ted pulling out the green matchbook that connects to Rebecca's psychic prediction and Rebecca pulling out the green army man out of the green matchbook... Surely he had to know how that would look? I know he had to. He went out of his way to do a fake out scene at the beginning, that was the first thing we got after that the truth bomb ending. Plus, Rebecca's prediction plot still had to finish. There was only one ep left. How are we ridiculous for thinking that was where it was going? Plus, Rebecca was heartbroken about him leaving! She wanted him to stay and was thinking of solutions for him to stay.

They gave boatman barely 20 minutes of screen time with Rebecca, have Rebecca mention him once next ep, then nothing... Then he shows up last minute and that's it. We have to find out his freaking name from the credits.

Don't get me wrong, I loved that he made her laugh and so happy, but they could've brought him up more than just have him show up half way through and not have him show up until the end, to complete Rebecca's plot. It felt rushed. Combine that with what they did that made us think it was Ted, it just felt not as satisfying all round. I would've loved that ending if they'd actually done more and not had me hoping for Ted and Rebecca at the same time.

I don't know, there was so much potential for an outcome of either if they'd done it right..

So I’m on to Season 3 of ‘Station 19’ now. So very close to meeting the infamous Marina (Maya+Carina). I’ve been binge watching the fuck out of this show just to get to hurry up and get to them before I start work.

Once I am actually up to them, I’ll slow down a little.

Savour the moments of great WLW representation.

I’m hoping. I mean they’ve handled gay/queer representation in general very well so far so why wouldn’t it be for great WLW representation too?

There’s just been nothing significant on that so far because it all happens starting from Season 3. Don’t know what episode but got to keep some surprises.

happyele needs to put tori and tsukasa in some sort of project where they're forced to work together because i know they'd do so well together. of course, they'd have to fight a bit about it, then realize they are actually quite compatible so everything works out fine in the end

Calliope- So... Tally. Can I ask you something?

Taliesin- Is this about Auri?

Calliope- No... I wanted to ask about your family

Taliesin- Family? What family? What are you talking about? I spawned out of oblivion like all the Thalmor

Calliope- I'm sorry I just wanted to get to know you better but we can talk about something else if you want. You've mentioned your father a couple of times and sometimes you shout things in battle...

Taliesin- I do not shout-

Calliope- "I've suffered worse than you! You haven't met my father!" You shouted that today Tally

Taliesin- Oh. I guess I did, didn't I? So what? Is this an intervention? Fix Taliesin so he can stop yelling inappropriate things and making others uncomfortable?

Calliope- No! You're my friend I was worried about you. I just wanted to know you better, understand you more. We don't have to talk about your father, do you have any siblings?

Taliesin- Fine. I am my parents first born son. Both my parents were very accomplished mer in their own rights and expected no less from me. As soon as I uttered my first word, my mother the same day hired my first tutor. I think she wanted me to be a bard...anyway that is until I was 'blessed' if you can call it that with younger two sisters who did nothing but torture me. When they arrived my parents focused all their aspirations on them and my father pulled that stunt with Berwhale and well... you know the rest

Calliope- Do you miss them? Your sisters, were you close?

Taliesin- I suppose we were close, when they weren't making my every waking hour a nightmare. I wasn't as patient as I am now and they enjoyed making me snap. Leaving notes on enchantments, setting my hair on fire... They were thorns in my side but they were my thorns. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. What about you? What was your family like?

Calliope- Me? What do you-

Taliesin- Come now don't act coy. I told you mine, now you tell me yours

Calliope- Just nothing to tell much really. I grew up mostly with my older brother and mother. My father lived at court, we lived in the country. My parents weren't happily married and separated in all but name when I was very young. When my father left... well I pretty much stopped existing to him. Not my brother though.. he was the golden child. The heir and prodigal son. Me and my brother might have been close if he hadn't took every opportunity to throw me under the cart in front of our father the very few times he visited us. He outshone me in every respect but it wasn't enough he still needed me to lesser. After we grew up except for family matters we never talked. Did you know I was in Skyrim 6 months at the college before we met and I never received a single letter from either of them? Out of sight, out of mind I guess. They don't even know I'm Dragonborn. I don't think they would care anyway

Taliesin- Hmm. Seems we both have "tossers" for fathers don't we?

Calliope- *chuckles* Hmm yeah we do don't we? Although I suppose I can't complain too much mine may have ignored me and played favourites but you win the "who has the worst father competition"

Taliesin- Yes. He did do a rather thorough job winning that title. Still If it's any consolation it's their loss. I can't imagine how anyone could ignore you Calliope

Calliope- And I can't imagine how anyone could hurt you Tally

*coughs and stands up*

Taliesin- Yes. Well, this was all very serious and as lovely as this was, it's getting late and this mer needs his beauty rest so-

Calliope- I'm sorry I misjudged this. I thought you needed a hug

Taliesin- No it's fine. Just warn me next time you thrust into me like that

Calliope- Sorry I'll stop-

Taliesin- It's fine really-

Calliope- Goodnight Tally

Taliesin- Errr Yes... Goodnight Calliope

Yo when I say I want a romancable Nebarra. I’m not asking for marriage and kids— I’m asking for a painfully bittersweet slow burn that is possibly unhealthy on both sides.

Walk Me Home | A “Headless” Fic Chapter One

Story summary: Brom and Matilda find their relationship status is more complicated than ever after the explosive reveal of a year’s worth of secrets. How do they navigate their way forward when they struggle to know what’s true? And yet, to their friends, some things couldn’t be more obvious. (Explores what happens in between the climax of the finale and the epilogue of “Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story”.)

Chapter summary: Matilda is devastated after a night of loss until someone lets her know she is not as alone as she thought.

Chapter Characters/Pairings: Bromtilda (Brom/Matilda), Ichabod Crane, Rip Van Winkle

Rating: Teen

Author’s note: I have found a new fandom/ship and I’m obsessed. The finale of “Headless” left me with so many delicious questions of what comes next, so this is my exploration of all the angst that the residents of Sleepy Hollow, both old and new, have to work through. I’m sure I’m not the only one to do this but I wanted to start writing out my thoughts before I see what everyone else has come up with. :) I'm also feeling a bit rusty, but it's been so fun to get back to writing. I hope you enjoy!

Little poll about my werewolf au fanfic!

I'm in the middle of the 6th chapter, the first 5 are almost ready to go. BUT! I'm a slow writer, in the sense where I can write quickly but I won't because I'll get distracted and forget to write for like a week (or way worse). Just so you know all the factors.

[kidsomeday]

Quite late, but if you're still doing WIP Wednesday asks, I'd like to request Medieval Magic Vashwood Thing please!

IT'S BEEN SINCE NOVEMBER BUT I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO THIS ASK. Imagine me cackling wildly as I post this. Anyway thank you for your endless patience and for this ask.

-

Vash, predictably, won at losing, forcing Wolfwood into one victory and a few more scores higher than his. The fact that he was able to do it while pretending like he was paying zero attention to the game was as impressive as it was frustrating. On the upside, it did mean that Wolfwood had a clearer picture of his abilities, which was an overall win for him. Millie handily won the last hand. Wolfwood glanced over to see if it was in any way arranged, but Vash gave a subtle shake of his head. That pleased him more than he expected. There was something oddly satisfying about the overall winner of the game being the one person who cared the least about it. Meryl struck up an intense debate with Roberto after the game, challenging a play he had made. Wolfwood thought it was sort of petty, until he caught the smile on her face. Millie rolled her eyes affectionately, and she Vash disappeared into the kitchen to grab some snacks. It seemed post game debates were a traditional part of game night.
