[text] Thank you, Blaine. For replying to Kitty. She's just so infuriating. [text] How have you been? We haven't spoken in forever.

[text] You don’t have to thank for me that, Rachel. She’s in pain, that I can tell, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to allow her to spread it. 

[Blaine thinks about the last time they talked. Rachel had told him to not say anything about the crime. He feels weird in his stomach again when he remembers Cooper’s texts.]

[text] No, we haven’t. 

[text] Are you doing that *thing* again this October?

[alyricalberry]

[text] I think standing by her side isn’t helping her, Rachel. I think she just bullies you?

[text] I needed time to think after what I saw during the fae uprising. Didn’t you? 

[text] I lost as well? It’s okay to lose at times, Rachel. It doesn’t make you any less. You can prove them in other places, not *there*.

[text] The organizers want to see a bloodsport. The new rumors in the halls indicate these aren’t the same people running the game.

[text] For you.

[text] She does, I know. I’m not standing by her side. I’m just... in her vicinity because of my family, I guess.

[text] ... I know. Everything that happened... I can’t believe the world has come to this.

[text] I’m not having this conversation again. I feel like I had it a million times after the last one. That just is the perfect place. The anonymity, the fight in the air. It’s great.

[text] There are always rumours. With an event this shrouded in mystery, it’s only normal. It’ll be fine.

[text] You don’t have to defend me, Blaine. I am an adult who can take care of herself.

happilyeveranders‌:

[text] You don’t have to. That’s just martyring for the wrong person, Rachel. 

[DRAFT] Tina’s already tried. And it made me so hurt.

[text] Did you consider us as friends, Rachel?

[text] Why? You did well last time. Who are you proving it to?

[text] I’m doing what I can to stop this fascination with *that* game.

[text] I know that. But I still have no choice but to spend time with her, so I figured I might as well try to help her.

[text] Of course I do. You just haven’t spoken to me in a while and I feel like things have been... cool between us. For a long time.

[text] Blaine, I lost last time. That’s hardly doing well.  It’s just a way to prove to myself that my skills are at the level I want them at.

[text] Good luck with that. I have a feeling that the organizers aren’t going to let anything get in their way, Blaine. 

[text] Why do you want to put an end to it so badly?

Text || Lauren & Rachel

[Lauren ignored this for weeks. She look at the warning of a notificacion, showing just 'I wasn't on campus' and didn't even leave her on read. Because she didn't read her.]

Lauren: Don't forget, if you are ever with Cooper Anderson, or close to him, summon me. Is the only circunstance you should.

Lauren: What for? So you die? Of course I got hurt. Cooper was there and I didn't see him. It doesn't matter how many miles separates us, the distance is always the same. So far away I can't see him.

Lauren: Act like the fairy-goddmother you are and say something wise about what to do with the bad guys. And finding love. I'm sad. Cheer me up.

Rachel: Yes, Lauren, I know. Though I don't really understand your obsession with Blaine's brother, I will summon you if ever I happen to be near him.

Rachel: Right, well, I am sorry you got hurt. That anyone got hurt.

Rachel: I don't know if I'm the right person to be saying anything wise, especially not about finding love. Do you like musicals? I find seeing a musical about love always cheers me right up! I'd be happy to bring you to one.

Quinn: I'm sorry.

Quinn: You probably don't understand what I mean by that, but I'm sorry.

[...]

Quinn: Try to remember anything you say in public reflects on your family, and may result in consequences. I don't know if the Corcorans are anything like [my father–DELETED] the Fabrays, but oftentimes the things anything that reflects negatively on the family ultimately comes back to /you/.

Quinn: Pick your battles. When you do choose one, pick your words carefully.

[...]

Quinn: I honestly never thought I'd have to say any of this to you.

Quinn: I thought maybe you'd pick the Berries. You were better off before, you know.

Quinn: You were free.

Rachel: Right, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Quinn. I appreciate you looking out for me.

Rachel: To be quite honest, I feel really out of my depth, most of the time. I don't know what I'm doing with any of this. I don't even know how you dealt with all this pressure while still staying so poised and graceful.

[...]

Rachel: My dads lied to me. My whole life. It's kind of hard to just forgive them for that. At least my grandparents were honest with me from the moment they found me.

Rachel: Was I really better off not knowing who I really was? There's a whole side to my magic I never would have known about.

Rachel: I haven't chosen one family over another. I'll go back to my dads when I'm ready. I'm just... not yet.

[text] Are you doing that *thing* again this October?

[alyricalberry]

[text] I agree. I’ve been trying, too, but it’s so hard to get to her.

[text] It’s just.. nice to see that you still consider us friends.

[text] I am. And I’m going to win this year.

[text] Are you?

Quinn: You've certainly adopted your new lifestyle.

Quinn: Tell me, were you involved with aligning yourself with the Wildes, or did your family tell you to do that?

Rachel: How do you mean?

Rachel: ... My grandmother did.

Rachel: They told me we were going out to dinner. The next thing I knew we were at the Wilde estate. They just wanted me to befriend her to help the deal.

[alyricalberry]

Hey boo boo the fool, so your super real no fake pro "Inclusivity" bloodline rich family hanging out with the bloodline supremacists. I'm not surprised, but I wanted to see your pathetic public response to this ask trying to excuse it so we don't see you as the piece of shit you are.

Just because my family and Kitty’s have gone into business together absolutely does not mean that I support her views. Because I really, really don’t, Santana. You can believe what you want, but just because my family’s associated with them in business doesn’t mean I - or them - support the horrible things the Wildes believe in.

[wildevvitch]

alyricalberry‌:

Everyone works hard for their powers. New Ages, LN, Bloodlines. We’re all the same in that respect, trust me. 

I don’t think I’m better than anyone else because of my blood status. When I was younger I went to a magic school and these Bloodline kids bullied me so much for being a New Age. But the whole time I actually was a Bloodline. It wasn’t my skill level they were making fun of, but my citizenship. Skill isn’t predicated on being a Bloodline or New Age, or anything else.

I’m just trying to help my family.

You’re the one always making things dramatic. You really think calling me Berry is going to hurt me? 

Also I appreciate it if you stopped insulting my boyfriend. Finn doesn’t deserve to be spoken to like that.

Trust you? You don’t even trust your family. Like I need the trust of a girl estranged from her parents. Oh wait, your birth mom was e x a c t l y like that too, wasn’t she? The bastard apple doesn’t fall fall from the tree, huh? Oh boo hoo, pauper princess. You really think your story’s so sad. Go sell your memoir to someone else, this bitch isn’t buying it.

You’ve already made some dramatic claim to your name. I’m mocking you at this point in boredom.

From the looks of his desperate attention pleas, you don’t even speak to him.

[happilyeveranders]

Just what sort of screwed up, self-destructive garbage eats away inside of you, Kitty Wilde? Admit it, you’re just an asshole. You’re not “keeping it real”, you scratch and claw at any hand offered to you because it’s not the one. Because you’re spoiled and will raise hell until you feel like you got your, might I add, undeserved worth. 

Out of everything you deludedly lord over us such as your “power”, there’s one thing you’ll never have that Rachel does. Friends who care. I know it hurts that you’re alone. And maybe you blame yourself for it. And maybe you’re right to.

[alyricalberry]

He still thinks we’re friends??

Whatever, Kitty. Hopefully you’ll see soon it’s better to let friends in instead of pushing them away. Things don’t have to be the way they are now. They can always be better. We, as people, can always be better. You just need to see that. You don’t have to be so mean and angry all the time.

You saying that is like spitting in the face of all of us who work hard for our power. 

So you really don’t think you’re better than anyone else? Then why have you been courting bloodline favors? You know what they say about girls who tease but don’t put out, right?

I didn’t threaten you, I warned you. Why are you making this so dramatic, BERRY.

[Text] Yo Rach are you free this week :^)

[text] Hey babe! I have something going on on [redacted] but other than that I’m all yours.

[text] I haven’t seen you in forever. I miss you <3

[Text] Uhh yeah sure

[not sent] Can’t you just tell me whats up instead of saying sorry? :^/

[Text] Hey what was that lmfao did you send and delete smth, Rach?

[text] I did. I’m sorry. I’m... participating in a tournament, I guess? I didn’t phrase it well in my original text. 

[text] It’s nothing, really. It’ll just keep me tied up on that day. We should have an all-day date, though! There’s a restaurant I’d love to try. It has mostly vegan food, but I think you’d like it too!

[wildevvitch]

Is that how you think of our bloodline equality clause, Corcoran? That there shouldn’t be a hierarchy among bloodlines? 

I’d choose my words carefully if I were you.

[alyricalberry]

Kitty, I’m not trying to fight with you. I’m just addressing questions that are being brought up, just like everyone does. But, honestly, I don’t think there should be a hierarchy among Bloodlines. Just because we’re born with magic doesn’t mean we’re better than everyone else.

You don’t have to threaten me. Why are you always so defensive with people?

[alyricalberry]

Are you friends with Kitty?

The Corcorans and the Wildes have recently gone into business together, and as such Kitty and I have naturally spent more time together. I think that would qualify us more as close acquaintances than friends, though.

[wildevvitch]

alyricalberry‌:

Kitty, you can’t just talk to people like that. You don’t think it’s fair for people to be critical of Bloodline families what with everything going in the world?

Yes, I can. This not-a-person insulted us. What’s wrong about standing up to someone who just judges you all the time and doesn’t do anything to try to actually see you for who you are? 

It’s not fair when I’m not the one who screwed up this world, obvi. It’s those doppels in the Malleus. But I can’t be critical of the doppels what with everything going on in the world? This is reverse bloodline racism.

[alyricalberry]

Kurt, and all LNs, for that matter, are people, Kitty. And you do the same. How many times have you judged just for being Jewish, among a thousand other things? 

[thoughts] Reverse Bloodline racism? Is she serious?

What’s been happening is not one single person’s fault, it’s a lot of things. And it’s definitely not just doppels’ fault. There are commons in the malleus as well, and I’m sure some witches. It’s a bigger problem than some labels. Bloodline and magic elitism being one of them. We shouldn’t be fighting among each other when there is an actual enemy to fight against.

Is that why both of you are wildly successful in the business of being awful.

Why is a nobody speaking about me and my close associate, Rachel Corcoran?
