It is what it is

so I’m too new to the fandom to know about the whole panini/baguette/pancake/burrito debate and the entire Mark/Lamp thing but id love to find out?

Firstly Anon, welcome to the fandom! Secondly, I hope you are prepared for this story, which all happened about a year ago.

It all started with a picture someone posted of a zoomed in picture of some beige food. No explanation was given, and four teams were given: Team Panini, Team Baguette, Team Pancake and Team Burrito. To put it mildly, things got heated. Each of the teams INSISTED that they had it right. No clarification on the picture was ever given.

Not long after this (we are talking within a fortnight) someone posted mock-up Instagram accounts for Cristina, Mark and Kieran. On Marks Instagram, there was a picture of a lamp. They had included comments from the other L.A residents, and all the comments had the same feel: “nice lamp Mark, but I have never seen it before”. Someone re-blogged this post, jokingly saying that they shipped Mark with this lamp.

To say things escalated rapidly would be an understatement. Things got really out of hand. The ship name Lark got created and numerous stories were written about Mark and the love he had for this precious lamp. Someone reminded the fandom about the payphone Mark had walked into during Lady Midnight and had called “Miss” and somehow the payphone got involved. Another person got the gnome from Lord of Shadows, the one Mark hadn’t trusted involved. Somehow, Mark had found himself in a polygamous relationship with a lamp, a payphone and a gnome.

But dear Anon, our story gets even more dramatic. Cassie made a post, and made reference to something she had seen on her dash. That sent us all into a panic: Had Cassie seen all the posts made in our insanity? We assumed she had. So, when her asks were open, I like the idiot I was, asked her about it. Where she got her ideas and if she would consider referencing the debate, and Mark and his dear lamp.

She replied, much to my surprise (it was my first ask, and I was a small blog at the time) saying she had no idea what I was talking about. The fear was very much real, and I asked my small number of followers “what should I do? Do I explain?” and @jessamine–lovelace encouraged me to do so. So I did. I sent an explanation and exposed the fandom’s current insanity. I confessed to my actions and there was a mixture of panic and humor from the fandom. 

Even if there is a slight reference, like Mark commenting on a Lamp, or a disagreement on a picture of some food, there will be those of us that will know, that were there when it all happened and will understand the reference. It’s unlikely but we can hope. And that Anon, is the story of the panini/baguette/pancake/burrito debateand of Mark and his Lamp.

So...remember when this happened....

Dain & Sisters headcannons

So I had this H/C i may or may not turn into a fic (let me know if you want to see more of these characters?)

So obviously we know nothing about Dains Mother. What if she was kept hidden away and she had no chance to build friendships with anyone

So Dains father is DESPERATE for a son. So every time she gets pregnant and delivers a girl, hes not happy in the slightest and they get hidden away with their mother.

Their mother is called Lissette. Shes a mental health nurse but basically had to stop working when she married Aetos Senior.

First is Kathleen. Shes the spitting image of their mother. Red hair and blue eyes. Shes a talent musician. She ends up as a music teacher and part time musician. She can play piano, ukulele, violin and drums

Then, there is Erin. Shes a mixture of her parents. Brown hair and blue eyes. She trains as their equivilant of a primary school teacher.

Dain is actually one half of a set of twins. Dain we know about and then there is Vivienne. Vivienne is a female version of her twin and their father. Shes an animal lover and trains as a veterinarian.

Aetos senior basically claims that Dains mother had a really traumatic birth and died. No one questions it and helps with raise Dain. Especially the Sorrengails.

After the war, Dain decides to research his mother. He thinks its a curiousity. To learn about her and to extent about him. Sloane supports him 100% and Violet helps out as well.

Thats how he finds out that not only is his mother alive but he has three sisters, with one as his twin and he has a bit of an internal panic and doesnt know how he feels.

Eventually, he arranges to meet them, as they lived together. Sloane goes with him. Its an emotional reunion. At no point to any of them blame Dain for what happened to them and are really glad he came looking. They point out that Dain is massively outnumbered by women.

When Dain and Sloane get married and Dain takes Sloanes last name, they are thrilled (they all go by Lissettes maiden name) as it shows that despite Aetos seniors best efforts to have a son and carry on the family name. The name dies out. It is not mourned by any of them

[purple-haired-faerie]

Sloane/Dain kids headcannons

So once the war is over and things have all somewhat settled, and Daine and Sloane are married, the conversation around children comes up. As much as Sloane does want kids with Dain, that are a bit of her and a bit of him, she also wants to adopt, given her own childhood experiences. Dain very much likes this idea

So they start making enquiries and come across an organisation that looks after war orphans and it just makes sense this is where they go. The staff try and gear them towards the babies and cute little children but before Sloane can open her mouth, its Dain who asks about some of the older children. The ones who just need someone to go "i got you".

Thats how they meet Kai. Hes 10 going on 18. Saw his parents murdered so has A LOT of trauma. Been in a few foster homes. They never really worked out so he also has trust issues.

It takes a lot of work but eventually they reach a point where Kai comes home with them. They find support that works, and despite the numerous bumps along the way, find a system that works for them. Music is huge for Kai to regulate his emotions and they 100% support him. Anything he wants lessons for? He has them.

He also takes up boxing to help as an outlet for his anger, and Dain often helps as a partner/coach for him; whether it being working on technique or just hitting the shit out of a punch bag.

Kai eventually opens up and mentions a set of siblings who where at the center. 7 year old Apollo and 5 year old Leonora that he felt protective of. Like him, they saw things no one should. It affected Leonora so much she became a self-mute. No one wanted a child who couldnt speak and Apollo wasnt leaving his sister.

Back to the center they go, and again they are directed to the younger children but Sloane is having none of it. She and Liam got seperated and is a sure as Malek these kids wont have the same fate. They don't.

Apollo reminds Sloane so much of Liam. Not only because hes an overprotective older brother but because hes charming, social and charasmatic. Leonora is painfully shy, and a very anxious individual. Its heartbreaking to see a kid so mentally broken.

They take it slow with both of them. Leonoras suffering is more obvious than Apollos but it doesnt take long to realise his charm masks a lot of pain. Apollo slowly allows himself to have moments of vulnerabilty, knowing he and his sister are safe, and that he doesnt have to be strong all the time. Leonora slowly finds her confidence, self esteem and her voice.

Leonora loves cooking and baking. She cooks with Dain and bakes with Sloane. Shes like a sponge with recipies, soaking them all in. When she grows up she opens up a bakery. Apollo however wants to be a rider like his parent, both his birth parents and his adoptive parents are riders

Somewhere down the line Sloane falls pregnant. It takes a LOT of convincing that this baby wont replace Kai, Apollo and Leonora and Dain and Sloane will still love the children that made them parents and taught them so much.

She gives birth to a son. They name him Henrik Liam Isaac Mairi. She wants to honour her brother and father but allow him to have his own identity. Dain is adament his "father" doesnt deserve the right to have a child share his name.

His older siblings take to him and are super protective. Looks wise, hes basically a Liam 2.0 but personality wise hes all Dain. Always reading and has a gift for languages. He is their version of Wikipedia.

Two years later, they have a girl; Seraphina Esther Mairi, with Esther being Sloanes mothers name and Seraphina meaning 'fiery one' and it suits her perfectly. Total oppposite of Henrik. All Dains looks but all of Sloanes personality. You know exactly where you stand with her.

Like Apollo, she becomes a rider and to no surprise to anyone she bonds with a red. Mairi tradition and all that. She has the ability to weild fire, another reason her name is so approproate.

She picks up Gymnastics as a hobby and had she not been so hell bent on being a rider, she could have been a professional Gymnast shes that good. Total perfectionist and always wants to be better. Do better.

Let me know if you want to see more of these guys or do any other couples and their kids!

Random Empyrean Headcannons because why not

So eventually they find a cure for the Venin. Its not easy, with lots of blood, sweat, tears, arguments and poor decisions. But they get there and they get Xaden back just in time. Any longer and he would have been too far gone.

But the next battle for Xaden begins. Him turning Venin hurt a lot of people (and dragons). Emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually. It takes even longer for him to repair those relationships.

Eventually he and Violet have a wedding. A proper wedding everyone gets invited too and (assuming you didnt drink too much) remembers.

Garrick and Bodhi use their "friends and family" privalige and bring up all of Xadens embarressing memories as part of their best men speeches.

Violent and Xadens wedding might have been the biggest but it wasnt the first. That was Jesinia and Sawyer. It was a low-key affair but still beautiful in its own way. Nor was it the most traditional. That honour went to Dain and Sloane. Dain had allowed Sloane free reign and shed thrown every single Tyrrish wedding tradition she could find at it. Dains only imput had been that he would take his wifes surname not the other way around.

For a period of time post war, Dain stays to rebuild Basgaith. Rather than it being purely a war college, he turns it into a center for academic excellence. Of course the quadrents still exist but he adds other faculties; more areas for students to study.

He also removes the torture and drugging of students, actually ensures there is mental health support and ensures there is a better flow of information, and students are better informed of what the hell is going on. Once he leaves Basgaith, he never goes back.

Instead, he and Violet focus on setting up education centers in Aretia, which end up being the best anywhere on all fronts.

Halden dies before his father. Nothing dramatic, just his arrogance went too far and he died. When the King dies, Arric is set to take the throne but instead abdicates and sets up an elected government instead. "Those who are led should have a say in who leads them"

The laws, and attitudes towards them change. Children are not held accountble for their parents actions, and it doesnt matter your rank, bloodline or alliances, if you fuck uo you and you alone are held accountable.

Aetos senior, on being held accountable for his actions, sees Dain and tries to get some pity from his son. Dain shrugs and says loud enough for all to hear "i have no father". Dain spends the rest of the trial trying to stop a very angry Sloane from attacking Aetos senior for what he did to her brother and her husband.

Talking of children, Dain and Sloane adopt a set of war orphans. A brother and a sister, ensuring they are kept together. They do go on to have their own, biological children and every single child knows how much they are loved

Violet and Xaden also have children but it takes them years. Both have an awful lot of trauma to get through in order to reach a point where they are able to parent in a way they feel they can be proud of.

Mentions of character death, child abuse and alcoholism.

Word count: 856

We were in our cabin in Illyria. Since everyone had started having children, we all decided we couldn’t keep using Rhysand’s mother’s cabin, so we all brought our own as a place to stay. Azriel was checking on training and checking on a few bits of information that had come back to him. I was there checking on the younglings health in my capacity as a health visitor healer. I had low level healing magic and wanted to put that to good use so Madja had trained me as a health visitor. Axel and Elias were undergoing basic Illyrian training as well as their own individual ambitions. Axel was working on controlling his shadowsinging abilities. He knew he wanted to use his shadows and he wanted to investigate, but didn’t want to take up his father’s position as the courts spymaster, which was fine with us. We wanted our children to pursue whatever they wanted to pursue.

Elias on the other hand had inherited a stronger amount of my healing powers, and wanted to become a trauma surgeon. His argument was that ‘the more Illyrians I can save, the less time Dad and Uncle Cass have to spend in Illyria training the soldiers and increase the armies numbers. They were both twenty five and coming into their own person. Esther was ten and was an absolute joy to be around. She somehow sure the best in everything and everyone and just wanted to help in anyway she was able. I was sat at our table working on my notes from the children I had seen today for a report I was doing for Rhys and Esther was working on some extra school work. She was always looking to learn new things and asking her teachers for extra work, when Azriel and the boys came in. Only they weren’t by themselves, but had two younglings with them.

“Love, we couldn’t leave them. They have no one out there and…” Azriel babbled and I had to raise my hand to silence him. The boy looked to be about seven, and he was clinging onto a baby I guessed to be about six months at most. “Azriel, it’s fine. We will manage. Can you tell me what happened?” I asked. I could see Esther, still sat at the table taking everything in with big wide eyes. Azriel swallowed, motioning our buys and the two children further into the cottage. “I’d finishing for the day, and I’d met up with Axel and Elias and we were leaving the camp, when I saw them. Well I saw him first. He reminded me so much of Cass. He was fighting with some other boys. For food I think but I’m not sure. I came over to break the fight up, and the other boys, well they ran off. He looked panicked like I was going to hurt him” and I gave him a reassuring smile. I’d been told what he and Cassian had been through as children and how their lives had been changed when Rhys’s mother had taken them in.

“I assured him he was okay and I wanted to make sure he was okay. It took a while but he said he was just trying to get food for his sister. When I asked why he was in charge of getting food and not his parents, he said it was because his mother was dead. She died giving birth to his sister. His father was angry at her for killing his wife and spent his time drinking and when he wasn’t drinking he beat him, because he was defending the baby. His wings even got injured meaning that he can’t really fly properly. One night he grabbed his sister and ran away. They’d been managing by themselves ever since” and I got him to take me to his sister and we came straight here.” I gave a nod, and returned to the two small children. “Can you tell me your names? If you are going to be staying with us I need to know what we are to call you?”

The boy looked around at all of us, trying to work out what I had just said and what it meant. I knew we were keeping these children, that they were going to become part of our family. “Momma called me Finn, and I called her Sylvia” he finally whispered. The fact he had to name his own sister broke my heart. I felt Azriel’s pain through the bond, the pain he felt for these two children was the same as mine. “Finn, how would you and Sylvia like to join our family? If you lived with us? That way you wouldn’t have to fight people for the basics and you and your sister could be safe and be with people who love you” Azriel asked gently. Finn looked around, at every single one of us. At me, Azriel, Axel, Elias and finally Esther, before looking back at Azriel and nodding, and that was all that was needed. Our family of five had just grown to a family of seven.

At the start of January I finally got to see Wicked and have been listening to the soundtrack a lot.

Then Onyx Storm came out and I've been listening to the Audio book (not finished yet!) And this thought came to me. Imagine if, in some alternative universe you could have the characters from the Empyrean books could do the songs from Wicked?

Like you'd have Xaden and Dain singing "What is this feeling?" At each other? And everyone else finding it HILARIOUS!

Then you'd have Xaden and Violet singing "For Good" (I know it wasn't in the film but still part of the original Wicked soundtrack) and how emotional that would be?

You had thought this time would be easier. You were only given birth to one Illyrian babe this time, rather than two. However your daughter seemed to have other plans. According to Madja, the babe had was at an angle they shouldn’t be at, and a wing had gotten caught. Madja was confident that you’d be fine, as long as she was carful and got the babe out soon. Azriel had been in such a state when Madja had initially broken the news, that it had taken both Rhysand and Cassian to drag him out the room, realising he wasn’t actually helping the situation. They had taken him to look after your teenage sons, saying that they needed their father whilst their mother was bringing their baby sister into the world. Feyre had promised to stay with you and assist Madja.

I have no idea how long my labour lasted after that point, or entirely what happened after Azriel left. I knew pain, I had fought in the war against Hybern, and had delivered twin Illyrian babes before but having a babes wing rip me from the inside out was on another level, and I was loosing a lot of blood. But then a cry broke out, a cry that wasn’t mine. It was a babies cry and Feyre was placing my daughter in my arms. Madja checked me over, and gave me some medicine to help with the injuries, and Feyre cleaned me up before quietly, Madja following her out, supplies all packed up. They were replaced with Azriel, and our sons where hot on his heels. Axel and Elias immediately came over, cooing over their baby sister.

As soon as Azriel and I had told them I was pregnant, they had become even more protective of me, taking after their father in that regards. It was sweet, but having three overbearing Illyrian males playing mother hen could get a lot at times. I shouldn’t complain, it wasn’t a guarantee that teenage males would want to spend time with their Mum but Axel and Elias had proven that notion wrong. They had gotten worse when they had found out I was having a girl, becoming even more protective of me and telling me how they were going to protect their baby sister. I’d spent a lot of time with Feyre, who understood all too well what it was like to be a boy mum and pregnant. She’d has Selene five years ago and had to content with a seventeen year old Nyx and Rhys following her around all over the place.

“I’m sorry I freaked. You were the one in labour and yet I was the one who couldn’t handle it. If anything happened to you…” Azriel’s babbling brought me out of my thoughts. It wasn’t often the Shadowsinger of the Night caught babbled, but when he got spooked in regards to his family, the babbling started. I gave him a reassuring smile saying “you were exactly where I needed you, with the boys. And anyway it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Rhys lost his cool when Feyre had Selene and need I remind you what Cassian was like when Nesta had Clarissa? I’m okay Az. And so is our little Esther”. We’d decided on the name Esther as it meant star, and I had found out I was pregnant on Starfall. I could tell Azriel wasn’t convinced but decided that now wasn’t the time to have that conversation. Instead, he asked “so who wants to be the first to hold their baby sister?” which only caused squabbling between the two brothers.

Despite being twins, the boys were non-identical. Admittedly they had inherited all the Illyrian features from their father, but there were differences. Axel had more green in his eyes and had a slight height advantage over his bother (they were still 6 foot tall at fifteen and still growing) and had inherited Azriel’s shadowsinging abilities. Unlike his father, he was an extrovert and had the ability to make friends with everyone. Elias had inherited my healing abilities, and was more introverted. He had a slight stammer and hated talking to people he didn’t know, terrified they would bully him, mocking him for his ‘inability to speak properly’. Azriel and I had always told him it was nothing to be ashamed of, and Axel pointed out that he and Nyx would always sort out anyone who was mean to him.

Somehow they came to an agreement and Axel was cuddling Esther, and Azriel had me cuddled into his side. I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face. After all the pain and trauma we had all been through, the reward of being married to my mate, and having three beautiful, healthy children whilst living in Velaris.

Post HoFaS headcannons

First things first, Ember and Randall become the honorary parents for the entire group. No one questions it. It's fact. They all know when they are in trouble as Ember has learnt everyone's middle names and will full name them when the fuck up.

Ithan starts a couple of wolf sunball teams. One that competes in competitions and really takes it seriously and one aimed a kiddos and is a lot of fun. His friends make up the hype group and go to all the matches.

Talking of Ithan...him and Perry become a thing. He asks her out on a date and the whole scene is hilarious as you have the Prime of the wolves getting flustered and awkward at asking this artist cinnamon roll out for a coffee.

Lidia comes to an arrangement with her son's and their dad's where they (the boys) visit their mum every other weekend, should the boys want to. Brann makes every visit unless something comes up, Ace make most but not all. Ruhn sometimes hangs out depending on when they are doing but also respects this is their time and often makes himself scarce. The boys invite Lidia and Ruhn to special occasions and Ruhn and Lidia will return the favor to the boys and their dad's.

Eventually the conversation around Ruhn and Lidia having kids comes up. Ruhn wants to be a Dad but is totally respectful of Lidia and what she feels comfortable with. Given what their own childhoods looked like, they decide on adoption. They end up with three kids; a female Fae, and male shifter and a witch.

Hunt takes his role as Bryce's secretary very serious, especially the office sex part. But, at her insisting, gets himself a hobby. She has started dancing again. Not on any professional level but it still feeds her dancers soul. Hunt joins an amateur sunball team, and cooks loads. He even gives some cooking lessons to kids as part of a "life skills course" Hypaxia has a lead on.

Of course they have children. Four in all, a boy and girl fae and a boy and girl Malakh. Bryce is just impressed she was able to push out not one but two winged children.

Bryce does go back to Prythian and she and Nesta become solid friends and find a way to communicate when they aren't in each other's world. Once Lunathion has its shit relatively together they invite Nesta and whoever else from the IC to come. It can't just be Bryce going to them all the time. Cass, bless him, losses his mind at all the stuff he realizes they don't have and the amount of questions he asks puts a toddler to shame. It's excessive.

Sathia helps Colin become free from the Viper Queen, divorces Tharion and marries Colin. Her father objects and her only response is to give him the middle finger as she walks away. Zero shits given.

Tharion and Adriane have some sort of understanding. They wouldn't say they were dating each other but no one sees them messing around with anyone else either. Read into that what you will.

Baxion never fully lives down the fact he freaked out over the numerous Pegasus he found. He thankfully has a sense of humor and after a lot of time sees the funny side.

He decides he enjoyed his work helping all the refugees and becomes a social worker of sorts. Helping people help themselves is what he says when people ask him what he does.
