TRIGGER WARNING: This post contains C-PTSD flashbacks relating to child abuse. While not graphic, please use your own discretion in continuing with this post if those topics are triggering or upsetting to you.

Bonnie: I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming out to celebrate my birthday with me. We’ve been through a lot as a family, but I’m so glad that we’re all here together now.

Johnny: Happy birthday, Mom!

Chantal and Destiny: Happy birthday!

Trinity: Just cut the cake already!

[laughter]

Johnny: So you’re the kid who’s dating my little sister. What’s your deal? Got a job yet?

Demarcus: No, sir, I’m only 12.

Johnny: Hmm. Well, I hope you’re treating my sister right. I know how 12-year-old boys are. I was one, after all.

[Johnny starts to put his hand on Demarcus’ shoulder]

Demarcus: Ah! Don't hurt me!

[Johnny has a flashback of Jimmy: Don't be such a brat and I won't have to!]

Johnny: I won't, why would you think that?

Demarcus: I dunno. Isn’t that what big brothers do?

Johnny: No! I was just messing with you. I would never…I’ll be back.

[Johnny goes to the bathroom to compose himself] 

Bonnie: [holding Darien] And there’s your Auntie Chantal!

Chantal: Hey sweet boy!

Destiny: Sorry Mom, I’m gonna have to take him back so I can put him down for a nap. 

Bonnie: Aw, sweet dreams little guy! [to Chantal] Doesn’t he make you want one of your own?

Chantal: Nope! I’m done with men anyhow.

Bonnie: I can’t blame you for that one. They cause nothin’ but trouble.

[The front door opens]

Trinity: Dad!

Jimmy: Hey princess! I thought I’d stop by to say hello since I didn’t get to see you this weekend.

Chantal: Mom, what the fuck? Why is he here?

Bonnie: Jimmy, I told you not to come!

Jimmy: Relax, I’ll just be a second. Hey, Johnny! Listen, I've been wanting--

Chantal: Don’t you fucking get near him!

Destiny: Stay back, Jimmy!

Jimmy: I just want to apologize!

[Chantal and Destiny block Jimmy from getting near Johnny. Johnny runs out of the apartment]

Bonnie: Johnny! Wait!

[Everyone follows Johnny outside]

Chantal: Jimmy, get the fuck out of here before I fucking end you!

Destiny: Leave, Jimmy!

Jimmy: Fine, I’m leaving! This wouldn’t be a problem if he wasn’t such a pussy.

Destiny: [to Bonnie] We’ve got him.

Johnny: [to Chantal] Please take me home.

Bonnie: Johnny, I’m so sorry, I told him not to come. I–

Chantal: Stop! You’ve done enough. Let’s go, bubs.

“you can't prevent a prophecy.” A frown, “we should move on. this isn’t our story.”

You can’t prevent a prophecy. Mordred actually laughed — the sound bitter and hollow and just a touch hysterical. “Of course I fucking know you can’t,” he sneered, eyes wide and wild — draconic slit pupils narrowed so far they nearly disappeared — arms wrapped around himself; expression twisted. “My whole fucking existence is a prophecy I couldn’t prevent! The May Children — everything That Woman did to me — killing and killing and killing because I didn’t know what else to do —

For a scrap of pride from the person I craved it from — watching the man I loved die for fucking honor — being rejected by my Father, when all I ever wanted was for them to love me — being That Woman’s godsdamned puppet, from the fucking beginning to the fucking end — ” By that point, his laughter had been joined by sobbing. Lifting a hand to his mouth, he compulsively bit his palm to muffle the sounds, fangs a hair’s breadth from breaking skin.

Distressed, he reverted to childhood habits.

Aww! Poor Robin and Sebastian. T_T And of course I like him! He’s literally my favorite guy in this game.

I am not my memories;

I am shimmering gold and silver,

I am the beauty in the torture my mind has inflicted on me,

I am the brightness of the sun,

I am not a lost soul,

My brain is not a wasteland,

I

Will

Not

Let

My

Memories

Destroy

Me.
