002 Alina

how I feel about this character: I adore her! and also grieve for her. she had so much taken from her, and she is stripped of so much agency throughout the books, and all she experiences is tragedy after tragedy and the endless shaming from her peers as well as the narrative for a part of herself she should be growing to learn and love. I grieve the potential arc for her that was lost, and I think often of the tragedy in her character. I find her humor fun, and her full personality engaging and interesting. I like that she's so flawed and I like that she's so selfish and vindictive, in the same way that I like how loving and protective she can be, and how strong she is inside. my favorite part about her character is how conflicted she is about everything. the ways she struggles with knowing herself, and struggles with the leftover emotions from her time at the little palace and other traumas. she deserves the world.

all the people I ship romantically with this character: everyone! genya, mal, aleksander, zoya. even nikolai. I even like the crossover ships for her with the crows, although I'm not as fond of them. plus of course any poly combination of any of these.

my non-romantic OTP for this character: alina & genya is the ultimate brotp. I mean I ship them but their friendship is so good. I love it.

my unpopular opinion about this character: I have as many unpopular opinions about her as I do any other character for sab lol. I think that she's not some stalwart moral paladin and I don't get why people say she is. people also make her out to be more helpless or more vulnerable than she is, not to mention that they often mischaracterize her relationship with survival, trauma, and privilege. her ending was also tragic, and her arc was regressive, and imo fandom likes to use her to hate the characters around her more than they actually like or understand her as a character.

one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that she got the ending she deserved in the books - that the loss of her powers was either given a better narrative message, or that she didn't lose her powers at all. that she actually got to have any depth at all in the show, instead of all of her complexity and conflict and "bad" traits getting sanded down into nothing but performative bullshit.

my OTP: malarklina!! 💕

my cross over ship: alina/buffy sounds fun I'm ngl

a headcanon fact: alina is always burning hot to the touch. she knows the time of day based on the light around her. she can sustain small balls of light for long periods of time while not being around them. she's nonbinary with she/they pronouns and she's extremely bisexual. that she spends her time with mal after the books recovering from what should be acknowledged as a sudden and painful disability. that she sees the ghost of the darkling even after he's dead. that she's schizophrenic and has chronic fatigue. that she operates at some level on inhuman instincts tied to the nature of light & shadow. that she's not very good with kids because she struggles to convey empathy, but her protective instincts make her the safest person they trust to go to whenever they're afraid.

In The Drakes Spoiled Brat, was Tim given a funeral when he died?

Current universe/time-

Actually touched on this somewhat from another ask here !!

Original "world/time"-

No, because that scenerio didn't play out for reasons. BUT if it would have continued (no universe shenanigans) I can say what would have happened.

No one would have noticed for at least a few weeks, Tim was distant enough he didn't check in regulalrly with anyone (nor did they him) and a lot of his stuff was automated.

But after about the 3rd week mark- Either Babs or Duke would be the ones to bring it up. Duke didn't know Tim but that was HIS Robin so he worried a little, and Bab's knew Tim worked outside her network- but his own personal network had been worringly inactive.

They'd spend some time worrying about kidnappings, and eventually find out about Tims last mission.

A funeral would be held, put together by Alfred.

YJ wouldn't have come- they wouldn't want to mourn their friends death with the people who drove him to it (that and it didnt matter where the funeral was, they didn't have a body to bury)

Dick would have fought tooth and nail for everyone to come- he would be dammed if he missed another of his little brothers funerals.

From there, it would be Brucequest but 100x worse- at least Bruce, his "death" was caused by his own martyrship. Tims death was because they made him a martyr.

Everyone would Spiral, stuck between WANTING to pull apart and self isolate, and knowing that same destructive instinct is what alinated Tim so much in the first place.

Where Jasons death served as a somber reminder for what their mission entailed, the pain and loss that one small mistep down a rickety path can take.

Tims death was a blaze- A constant, everyone KNEW the before- and they were the after, the what ifs spiraled, tandem swinging between wanting to forget and desperatly trying to remember.

Even now- Jason and Tim were bound by eachothers tragedies, two boys, lost far too young. But only one was allowed to come back.

Jason still kept a shovel by his bedside at the manor, just in case.

Another answer for one of @astreamofstars 's prompts from this ask for this ask meme: Kiss Roulette.

"33. A kiss to a scar, birthmark, injury, or other marking - Lae'zel/character of your choice"

Some context-less Shadowzel from Act 3 after the House of Grief, bc I haven't fully figured out how to include them in Rakha's playthrough yet. XD This is my first attempt at writing this pairing; hopefully it scans well! :D

-----

“Do you wish me to call you Jenevelle?”

Shadowheart peers out from her tent at Lae’zel sitting by the fire. “Why would you ask that?” she snaps irritably.

It’s not a fair response, and she knows it as soon as the words are out of her mouth. To her credit, Lae’zel doesn’t flinch from the moment’s sharpness, but answers in kind. “A thing true across all planes, I find, istik, is that most prefer to be called by their names.”

“It’s not my name. My name is Shadowheart.”

“A simple ‘no’ would have sufficed.” Lae’zel looks over her shoulder to meet Shadowheart’s eyes. A slight pause. “I am not your enemy… Shadowheart.”

Shadowheart lets out a heavy breath and her head ducks. “No,” she says. “No, you aren’t.”

She should know better, really. They certainly began as enemies, but so much has changed. They have suffered so much together. They have stood side by side, watching their religions burn to cinders in front of them, and found each other amidst the ashes.

It was meaningless sex at first, half-desire and half-anger, driven by a need for some kind of nameless forgetful oblivion where they could forget that their worlds had fallen apart. Gradually, though, it has become more than that. She has been allowed to see gentleness in the gith, and Lae’zel has been allowed to see her vulnerability in turn - and both things have been hard-won knowledge indeed, secrets held between the two of them, shown to no one else. 

Zhak vo'n'ash duj, Lae’zel called her once in a moment of passion. She hasn’t explained what it means, but Shadowheart can guess the implications.

And here she is, lashing out yet again anyway, as if it were still their first few days on the road, when preemptive strikes felt like the only way to survive. Gods, she’s so scared. Gods… it hurts.

“I’m… sorry,” she mutters, hunching her shoulders - as if still in expectation of mocking after all these months. “That wasn’t fair.”

“Chk. You owe no apologies,” Lae’zel says - still curt but quieter. “I am no yank to be felled with a harsh word. And it is not the first I have had from you, nor will it be the last.” She turns back to the fire and prods carefully at the meat roasting there, turning it carefully. “Nor would I wish otherwise.”

Shadowheart finds herself mesmerized by watching the other woman's fingers, surprisingly dexterous in counterpoint to her battering-ram combat style. “Do you know your parents?” she asks abruptly. “Did you leave family behind, in Kliir?” 

“The yanki are raised together in creche.” With quick, efficient motions, Lae'zel pulls the meat from the fire and lays it out on a platter nearby. “A cadre of nestmates is our first and only family.” She frowns. “Still, I am not blind to what you have lost.”

Shadowheart nods silently. Lae'zel's experiences are so alien at times that it is hard to imagine the places where they overlap. But they are both alone in a world full of shadowy uncertainty. 

“You're all I have left, you know.” The words emerge in a sudden rush; she looks down at her hands, ashamed without knowing why. 

And then Lae'zel's hands close over hers, calloused and rough from a life of swordwork, but gentle in their touch on her skin. 

“I am not blind to that either,” she says, her voice low. “You will not be alone while I am here.” She considers for a moment before going on, “In creche we are taught ra'quith vlaak - the frail perish. To cover for another's weakness is to open your own flank.” Her eyes lift to meet Shadowheart's, intent and serious and sad. “Perhaps once I found wisdom in this, but no more. You shall find me guarding the scarred places in you, and you shall guard mine.”

Slowly, with scrupulous care, she lifts Shadowheart's hand and presses her lips over the heavy black scar, the last mark of Shar's torments, that lingers on her skin.

Blood rushes to Shadowheart's face. She feels acutely conscious of the fact that Lae'zel has never before showed her any gesture of warmth in view of the rest of the camp. And she can see the flicker of anxiety that goes through the gith's cat's-pupil eyes with the action. 

But Lae'zel has been afraid a long time. She has never let it drive her actions - never before and not now. 

And Shadowheart feels her own courage rise in answer to it. “Yes,” she agrees softly. “As long as you'll let me.”

“Chk,” Lae'zel mutters. “You speak as if you think such promises come with endings.”

Shadowheart doesn't answer for a long while. “I have suffered many broken ones,” she finally says softly. “But not from you.”

Lae'zel's eyes brighten, and she kisses Shadowheart again, this time cupping a palm to her cheek. Like all of their kisses, it is fierce and rough, commanding, unrelenting, but it carries certainty in it that Shadowheart desperately needs. “Nor shall you,” she murmurs. “Zhak vo'n'ash duj.”

Silky,dear... if you don't mind, could you please do a headcannon for Dee with strawberry s/o. She's so cheerful,kind and understanding ❤️ please. I love your blog,And I've admired you for a long time😭✨

❤︎︎“I love everybody because I love you”❤︎︎

Warnings: might be a bit OOC! Haven’t written about him in awhile I apologize!

Fandom: metal family!

Author note: HIHI!!! OMG TYSM?! UR SO SWEET (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃AHH I LOVE THIS REQUEST TYSM!! please request again this was absolutely AWSOME to make

Summary: Your boyfriend Dee, was one hell of sight, but with you happily walking with a cheerful bounce with him you can imagine the stares you get for the contrast. One doll of a person and then the blond who almost looked straight out of the dead with his dark eyeshadow.

❤️Written by silkythewriter Do not steal or repost on any other platform please! <3.❤️

ミ★❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎ミ★

“I love it when you look my way”

ミ★❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎❤︎︎ミ★

The contrast between you and him is like day and light, and when you both come strolling by weather that be passing by the local convent shop. Or making a quick stop to a store that’s peeked your interest, eyes were bound to wonder. The stares were noticeable, but you guys have gotten use to it, cause your love for him couldn’t be dented by a pair of curious eyes.

Your personality peeked his interest, I mean who could be this kind and caring??, no less to just some normal people who haven’t impacted you in any significant way. It just made him…confused? (-∀-💦)

The way your kind eyes stared at him Tugged at his heart in an alarming (at least to him) way! The blush that spreed across his face the first time you gave him a sliver of kindness was to much for him.

Your cheerfulness always brightened him up especially after tough interactions with glam. Railing up and you being the only one to comfort him back to his collected self. And even if he doesn’t vocalize it he is very much grateful <3.

You make it point to make him feel understand-ed and would never make him feel alienated by his interest un like some un kind people. You let him rant about his newly found obsession or just show off a new skill he learnt.

Even small things like you congratulating him on a good score he got, or maybe for remembering the smallest thing, even commenting on his intelligence. It’s not like his teachers, just thanking him for being the only knowledgeable student, but instead asking more questions to learn more about the topic, and really see how much he knows. And though he doesn’t like being bombarded questions he deems stupid, when it comes to you it makes him like seeing the shock and awed look you give him. Can you blame him? Not only is it adorable but he likes showing off in front of you.

He would rather be dead then admit this but he loves the way you smell like strawberry, he would take this to his grave before admitting this he finds it embarrassing ( =ω= )

Let’s you do his eye shadow only because of how delicate and caring you are with it, you always make sure to take your time so you don’t hurt him little moments like that is what he absolutely adores about you!

I feel like he gets easily flustered by physical touch so whenever your get happy just by seeing him and hug him you can look up and see him red as a strawberry (≧◡≦) ♡

Whenever he goes shopping in the off chance he has some money to spend after he’s done grabbing some clothing he always makes sure to drop by your favorite store. Weather that be a cute accessory story, or a small bakery you might have said you enjoyed, either way he always makes sure he has left over money. So whenever he has a bag filled of random darkly colored clothing only to walk into a store and buy you some pink clips for your hair you can imagine the cashiers surprise. Dee though a bit embarrassed doesn’t care much it’s worth seeing your bright smile at the small item.

Heavy absolutely ADORES you! Literally bouncing off the walls when you come walking in with his brother. He was at first taken a back from how much polar opposite’s you and Dee are but quickly got over it after realizing how sweet you are!.

Heavy definitely teases Dee jokingly before running off after Dee’s had enough you get to sit as you see them bicker you find it amusing but always make sure to help Dee calm down! ( ´͈ ◡ `͈ )

Secretly has the same perfume brand you use and sprays it on his bed or around his room at night because it reminds him of you and comforts him but I didn’t tell you that! (▰˘◡˘▰)💦

He gets jealous easily especially when everyone gets so quickly comfortable with you cause of your inviting personality, he dose poorly to hide this but also hates being called out for it especially by his brother.

But just by you hugging him and saying comforting words makes it all go away, you just know how to make him melt in the best possible way.

But with that all said you basically have him wrapped around your little finger. And though he hates to admit it, he wouldn’t have it any other way <3.

God i love Hireath so far. Like you don't understand how refreshing it is to find such a well written fabrication where Sun and Moon act like their in-game self. Also I live your asshole Sun like WOW he's amazingly written- the passive aggressive and straight up aggressive uncalled for behavior has me wild. Not even to mention Moon- he's my favorite character thus far. He's just a little prankster guy. He's just so him. Rrr I love your writing style and Y/N like yay! We have a backbone! Very good. Anyways, I will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter! Love your work!

WAIT HOLD UP. WAIT. YOUR HONOR. I'M SO FLATTERED OH MY GOD. THANK YOU!!!!!

I need you to realize how insane your fic makes me.

Anytime you update I’m like a feral dog chewing its favorite toy. God I love the writing. I love the characters. THE PLOT IS SO SO GOOD. I’ve had art block for a couple of years now, but I’m considering pulling myself out of it just so I can make fan art for you. I’ve reread your fic more times than I can count.

Anyways, I just love your story. Thank you for the recent update! <3

I am pleased to know the insanity spreads.

But seriously thank you so much, it took years of writing like shit ans obsessing over things like plot, charecterization, and character dynamics- but as a result ive gotten to a level where I actually feel comfortable posting my stuff.

The support tho?? Absolutely unreal. And 100% go for it- theres no greater honor than to have inspired someone else to creation, even if its not "good" I promise I will adore it as much as you adore my rambling writings.

Once again, thank you so much that means the world- and thank you for sending this ask <333

a few oc asksss!

10,15 for wolf and bastien maybe?

20 for wolf?

16,17 for thorne , if its not too many!! (these are fun questions/prompts)

getting to these a bit late--- thank you sm! <3 i will skip some a bit to keep this shorter

OC ask meme here

10. Is your OC sentimental or pragmatic? Do they keep mementos or only what they need to survive? Have they always been this way or did something happen to make them change?

i've talked about Wolf's sentimentality and emphasis on memory other times, so let's talk Bastien. he tends more towards pragmatic - largely because that's the cards they've been dealt in life. moving to the city with not much to his name to study medicine, losing even that little when they dropped out, stepping into a life of lavish comfort but all of it is owned by Matteo-- he doesn't really tend to be sentimental because he has nothing to hold onto. his beat up truck and the clinic is one of the things that feels like fully *theirs* and even that is something Bastien only realizes on the cusp of losing it. even their room upstairs in the clinic building is pretty barebones, only the basics. i think he definitely changes after Wolfgang's murder and that whole period of time, he really re-evaluates a lot of his life and starts holding onto even small things more (like the one sleeveless tee that Wolf steals from him becomes really precious)

15. What places hold significant meaning or memories for your OC? Do they have a positive or negative association with those places?

switching to Wolfgang - i think the big one for them is the yet-unnamed city itself. so much of strife of their lives is tied to it and the games and politics and violence within the walls of it. so many memories. and so much love. one place they really painfully miss once the story moves them on the road, is a hill a bit out of the city with a nice view of it. they would go there at night when they needed to sort out their feelings or thoughts about a case

20. Has your OC ever done something terrible and lied about it? Did they run away or blame someone else for it? How long did they maintain the lie and did the truth ever come out? for Wolfgang

details of their backstory might come up eventually in other ways so i will just say yes, and its a big point of shame and guilt and they run from it all their life

16. How does your OC make money? Do they have a respectible profession or work a series of odd jobs? Are they a criminal? Or do they get creative in the pursuit of coin?

Thorne - she is an information broker. she actually financially deals in valuable information of various levels be it pharmaceutical trade secrets, information about whereabouts of highly private and secure individals, government secrets and the like. she buys and sells information to the highest bidder (allegedly) no matter their allegiances.

this is in fact criminal behavior that puts peoples lives in danger but let a woman have hobbies etc

17. Does your OC have an enemy? What happened between them? Is it mutual or one-sided? Is it petty or serious? Is one party seeking revenge? Does one person want the other dead or are they content to hate them from afar? 

by the nature of her work she makes a lot of enemies, and a lot of powerful allies. Thorne and Wolfgang have a very uh.. strained, business relationship as they suspect her dealings caught them in the crossfire and got them captured, tortured and almost killed cca 8 yrs ago.

they're not outright enemies, because Wolf needs her info and her network, but they sure are not on good terms. Thorne was unavailable for comment about the situation
