ʙᴀᴄᴋᴛʀᴀᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴡᴀꜱɴ'ᴛ ɪᴅᴇᴀʟ, never was, but it left cooper itching to get on the road again most times. tonight however he was going to be thankful for a place to rest his head that didn't have him jumping at every sound & the promise of a short lukewarm shower. it was strange to be back in NOVAC without any sort of success under their belts to show for their troubles, but the legion's patrols were getting out of hand & currently blocked the easiest way into the strip. they needed to be smart about this & more than that they needed supplies. supplies meant caps & caps meant taking on jobs for the locals to earn a few & hopefully butter up the merchants into giving them a fair deal.

judith is better at talking than he is. not that he doesn't have his moments but he's well aware that due to his ghoulish condition he's at a disadvantage even on a good day. judith however ? bright eyed pretty judith ? who could say no to a face like her's ? he certainly hadn't been able to for long. the courier winning him over with a stubbornness that could match his own & a soft charm about her that had somehow lasted through life in the wasteland.

❝ alright sweetheart we've got about five minutes of good water pressure 'for that shit gets cut off, you joinin' me ? ❞ there's not going to be anything remotely sexy about rushing through a much needed cleaning for either of them, but he still wants to leave it in her court if she wants to join him. as much as he likes to think of himself as a bit of a bastard, he's been nothing but slow & steady for her in all situations regarding their budding relationship. partly simply due to respecting her too much to try & pull anything fast with her, & partly due to his own still healing heart.

he's slow about getting his layers off, slightly guarded at showing her more of his radiation damaged body. he's well aware that it's one thing to look at his face & say you don't care about the ghoulish features but seeing the whole picture ? well he's half expecting her to run for the hills. he tries not to let his not so new form bother him, it was what it was & there wasn't a damn thing he could do to change it. sometimes despite his best attempts to not let it get to him the blatant disgust that most people showed to ghouls got under his skin.

The earth ghoul purrs as soon as their mate's hands rest upon their lower back and thigh, prompting them to NUZZLE their face deep into the crook of Copia's neck. Basalt takes a minute to breathe in his scent, the familiar notes of citrus from his cologne washing over them in a pleasant wave of sweet earthiness. Copia's clear FRUSTRATION pulls them away from the dreamy haze and they frown slightly at the way recent changes in the abbey have hindered his ability to concentrate on what really mattered. They knew full well that the construction noises were a huge factor for Copia, and it was all an unnecessary task given that renovations have been happening for years now. It was well-earned money down the drain and Basalt was getting fairly sick of the EXCUSES themselves.

" No apologies needed, you're Frater Imperator now, il mio gioiello. You don't answer to anyone else, if you want them to stop all this you have to demand it of them. They're just going to have to learn to deal with it. " They murmur while reaching up to gently fix some strands of the other's hair. Basalt's tail swishes behind them with irritation, not with their mate but with the other clergy members that dared to continue treating Copia as if he were still a cardinal. Even back then with no real semblance of power in his hands, the ghoul hated seeing how much DISRESPECT they gave their mate for simply existing and being the new frontman for the band.

" If you insist. Maybe she could be of some help more than I think. " Basalt replies with a shrug of their shoulders. The former drummer still wasn't quite keen on this new Emeritus twin that had seemingly and conveniently shown up out of thin air to claim the Papa title. On the other hand, having a living family member that was semi-decent might help to HEAL the wounds that he was left with amidst Sister's passing. Only time would tell in the end whether or not their sibling bond would be one coming of a GENUINE place.

At the mention of their kits Basalt's emerald hues seem to brighten, happy to turn the subject over to a more joyful conversation to CHEER up their mate. " They're still trying to wait on you for singing or story time. Twilight has been fighting to keep herself awake. " Basalt chuckles fondly. Their precious little ones loved their father so dearly, especially when he would sing them to sleep, it wouldn't take long for them to be out like a light when listening to his voice. " Come on, amore...the work can be left for tomorrow. " The earth ghoul coos, leaning in to press kisses along Copia's jaw before they rise from his lap and take hold of his hand to TUG him from his seat on the couch.

❝ i know you are not her biggest fan right now amore, i am also ... nervous, but i am trying. ❞ at least for now. should he be given a proper reason to suspect his twin he'd not let it go unaddressed. still, his twin had been working with him more on matters of the clergy & ministry. one thing that had united the two estranged twins had been their distain for the senior clergy members. ❝ we cannot keep them waiting then, can we ? ❞ he grinned, showing off his fangs as he was tugged from his seat. the way to their papal suite was a familiar route, comforting in that aspect with all the changes going on.

in no time they both were tucking their two kits into bed after some reading & a song for the two. gently shutting the door behind him he turned to basalt & murmured ❝ they are growing so fast aren't they ? ❞ he took his mate's hand to lead them into their bedroom where he stole a kiss before pulling away to undress into his sleeping shorts. ❝ sometimes i wonder ... if i am spending too much time away from them. from you, too. ❞ he had a job to do, but right now he was working without a proper schedule, letting far too many precious hours slip by without being with his family.

dressed for bed he approaches basalt, one hand settling on the ghoul's hip while the other gently rests upon their cheek. ❝ i should be here with you, with our kits. not stuck in some shitty office wasting the hours away. ❞ he didn't want to miss any part of his children's lives growing up, he wanted to be there for them & for his beloved mate. ❝ what if we moved ? somewhere else in italy or maybe even another country. i can work from anywhere, the clergy can suck it they need to get with the times. ❞ he wanted a home for his mate & kits that was solely their own, that wasn't tainted by bad memories & the shadow of his parents forever looming overhead. ❝ what do you think amore ? tell me your thoughts, you always know how to keep me steady. ❞

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER dir. Paul Thomas Anderson | 2025

@sinworn ( dallas ) said : You're safe here. I promise.

SHE HAD WOKEN WITH A START IN an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar house with unfamiliar smells and so many medicines and sounds and things that she couldn't make sense of . she knows she's never been there and she knows she doesn't know the voice trying to reassure her . so she jolts upright , legs swinging over the edge of the bed , hand going for a holster that she's absolutely terrified to find empty .

is this WHAT HELL is ?

eyes dart around the room , desperate to find some sort of weapon . the last thing she remembers , she'd had a gun pointed at her head while she lay next to her own grave . and now she's waking up with strangers ? that's not like her . that was never like her . but the iv attached to her arm at least tells her that there's something legitimate about the situation . THE SITUATION . the reminder has her pulling her hand back to her forehead with a hiss as fingers trace a well stitched line from forehead to ear , barely missing her eye .

not hell , then ... alive ...

eyes finally turn towards the voice and she can't help but relax . she looked kind . at least compared to EVERY ONE ELSE SHE'D MET in recent history . and she can only assume she means the promise of safety ... had she not , then she could have gotten rid of her while she was unconscious with at least two holes in her head . that was promising ... kind of . she calms slightly , hand falling to her lap as she lets her legs continue to dangle from the bed as she takes a heavy breath .

eyes close for a moment and she lets herself orient for a moment before truly focusing ON THE STRANGER . " i would very much like to believe you . i would ... but i'm pretty sure i was dead five minutes ago or something and i can't shake the feeling that you might know something about it . or ... maybe you're the doctor for the group and they felt guilty for killing a courier who couldn't have even tried to identify anyone in the group . " a pause . " so first question ... where am i ? "

ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ would make it, hell she was barely certain that what she was experiencing wasn't a fever dream from her dying mind. when the half dead stranger sits up she immediately reaches out with both hands, wincing at the pull to her wound on her chest. ❝ woah there firecracker, gonna end up fallin' right outta that bed if you move too fast. ❞ she murmured gently, dark eyes darting over to the iv stand to make sure it was stable. her own had been tugged a little closer at the sudden movements, pulling at where it was attached to her own arm. ❝ damn thing, wanted it out hours ago... ❞ she murmured, reaching with her right hand to tug the stand closer to her chair.

❝ sorry, wasn't exactly the most acceptin' of sittin' still when i've been done wrong before gettin' shot in the chest, two bullets later & 'm patience hasn't improved too much. ❞ she shifts to bring her left hand up, tugging down the collar of the oversized borrowed shirt she was wearing to reveal tightly wrapped bandages around her chest. ❝ reckon my luck's a little better than yours, that or someone fudged the details on how good their aim was. guy that got me didn't stop t' check t' see if i was breathin' or not. probably the only thing that saved my ass. ❞

in the other room she could hear the doctor moving about, no doubt busying himself with his medical supplies that he'd had to dip into to save not one but two gunshot victims. ❝ still ... two bullets to the head ? ❞ she whistles low, marveling that the other woman was even able to string a sentence together after that. ❝ not sure i believe in all that religious shit but seein' you ? makes me wonder if you don't got someone lookin' after you. ❞

she's not shocked that the woman had questions, hell she had questions. ❝ you an' me ? we're two people who never were suppose t' get saved. ❞ she's getting ahead of herself, mind going a mile a minute thinking about how she's gotta get out there & find the bastard that ordered the hit on her. she takes a breath, holding up a hand in what she hopes comes across as a reassuring gesture. ❝ 'm dallas. like the ol' city in texas. no 've never been, that was m' parents stompin' grounds before nevada called to 'em. ❞ she pauses for a moment, hearing footsteps that come closer before retreating once more. the good doctor must be giving them a little time to orient themselves.

❝ robot found & dug you outta your own grave, almost tripped over me on the way t' find the doc. ❞ she shakes her head, mouth twisting into something angry for a moment. ❝ both of our packages were taken, reckon that was no small coincidence. whatever we both were caryin' was worth killin' two couriers for. ❞ something in her chest burns at the thought that more was going on behind the scenes. that what should have just been a routine delivery had her staring down the barrel of a gun. ❝ doc knows more, said he'd talk with us once you were awake. ❞ if she would wake up, at the time neither of them had expected her to make a recovery.

Walton Goggins as Cooper Howard/The Ghoul ☆ Fallout (2024-) 01.06

ɪᴛ ꜰᴇʟᴛ ꜱᴜʀʀᴇᴀʟ ᴛᴏ ꜰɪɴᴀʟʟʏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ʜᴏᴍᴇ to call their own, a place where both rain & her mate could rest easily knowing their precious kit was safe from unwanted outsiders. as soon as they had landed in japan rain had felt a weight lift off of her shoulders. their home was a true labor of love, one that kiyoshi had overseen & also personally tended to with such love & care it brought tears to her eyes to think about it too long. it was a love letter to traditional okinawan architecture all while being mindful of modern day building codes & the needs of his ghoulish family members.

as she walked through the halls towards the kitchen where she could smell food being prepared she carried little yoshi on her hip. already their kit was growing so fast she could hardly believe it. pressing a kiss to yoshi's cheek she murmured ❝ let us go see what is cooking my love. ❞ the scent of fresh seafood reached her nose which had her own stomach growling & yoshi letting out an excited shout in her arms. ❝ you are going to spoil us both my heart. ❞ she murmured as kiyoshi came into view.

unlike most of the food she had tried at the italian abbey, she had taken to japanese food with enthusiasm. something that yoshi shared with her. ❝ i just got off the phone with hideko, her & copia are taking the girls out for a bit. ❞ it brought her such joy to know that her summoner was happy & free from the chaos that was the italian abbey. he still often traveled to the closest one to them, but had taken the chance to work from home for the vast majority of his time. rain knew he loved that he could be with his partner & two daughters instead of stuck in an office away from them.

❝ what's on the menu for today ? ❞ she asks, indigo hues peering curiously at his cooking from a respectful distance. she didn't want to crowd him too much while he worked. ❝ i thought about taking yoshi out to swim for a bit today if you'd like to join us ? ❞ she loved to be in the water, but more than that she loved that kiyoshi had kept that in mind when building their home. the land was peaceful, quiet, not too far from town but enough so that they didn't have to worry about nosy onlookers often. copia truly had come through with the funds to purchase the land, it had been more than anyone had expected but the man had insisted that anywhere his ghouls were going to live needed to be up to proper standards.

❝ our little tadpole has been loving all the toys hideko got her. ❞ she murmured, shifting to set yoshi in her highchair & get her secured. pressing a kiss to her daughter's cheek she let out a soft purr that yoshi mimicked. ❝ you are the sweetest little ghoulette i know, aren't you ? ❞ she cooed. ❝ you get that from your father, don't let him tell you otherwise. ❞ she teased, giving kyoshi a knowing look.

Collins is gone.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ* ARRANGED MARRIAGE SENTENCE STARTERS 3.0

arranged marriage themed starters based on this, only revamped and with many added lines! change pronouns, names, or make any other adaptations as needed!

UNHAPPY MATCHES

❝ I would rather die than marry the likes of you. ❞

❝ I will run away! I won’t accept this marriage! ❞

❝ I cannot accept this. I will not marry them – my heart belongs to someone else. ❞

❝ Please – please do not make me wed them! ❞

❝ Anyone else would be better! Please, I know you can find me a better match! ❞

❝ I will never love you! ❞

❝ It isn’t fair! I don’t even know them! ❞

❝ Why him? Can't I marry [name] instead? ❞

❝ He doesn't want me, nor I him. Why force us to marry? ❞

❝ Find me another bride. Any other bride. ❞

❝ I don't want to marry him and go to the other side of the realm, away from everything and everyone I have ever known. ❞

❝ She is not the bride I want. You know that. ❞

❝ She is as pretty as a painting, and lovely in every sense, I'm sure. So give her to a husband who will love her, and let me have the one my heart desires. ❞

❝ I agreed to it for an alliance, and her family failed to deliver. I will not marry her. ❞

❝ I'm a prince of the realm, even if I'm not heir to the throne. This match is beneath me. ❞

❝ I will not accept a bride that is not of our lineage. Our ancient blood is not to be mixed with the blood of other men. ❞

❝ Why must I marry the enemy for the sake of an alliance? Why am I the adequate sacrifice to make? ❞

❝ She hates me, she hates all of our family, and for good reason. Don't make me marry her. ❞

❝ My entire family is dead because of his. His entire family is dead because of mine. Do you truly believe marrying us will be enough? ❞

❝ Joining our two bloodlines solves nothing. There is no undoing the bloodshed between us. ❞

❝ He loved her. He will never love me. ❞

❝ Go through with it and you're sentencing him to death. I do not jest when I say I will rid myself of him sooner or later. ❞

DUTY

❝ Do not touch me! I only married you for duty, stay away from me! ❞

❝ I shall fulfill my duty, but that is all. Please do not touch me unless you must. ❞

❝ I do not care what you want, we did not marry out of love. ❞

❝ We are only marrying because I need an heir. What you do and with who beyond that does not matter to me. ❞

❝ Even though I have been told this would be my duty my entire life, I still can’t quite accept it. ❞

❝ You knew this day would come. People like us only marry for duty, dear. ❞

❝ Love is not the priority for the likes of us. ❞

❝ Marrying for love is a delusion. ❞

❝ Ours is a union of duty. You would do well to remember that. ❞

❝ Every good child knows: duty before your heart’s desire. ❞

❝ I shall marry you only because I must. ❞

❝ Even if we married for duty, our union can still become one of true love. ❞

❝ Duty brought us together, but it is love that will make this bearable. ❞

❝ I do not have to like it, only to fulfill my duty. ❞

❝ I know you wouldn't have chosen me, as I wouldn't have chosen you. But it's our duty to see this through. ❞

❝ I have to place duty first. It's what is expected of me. ❞

❝ I have been betrothed to him for years. I have to do my duty, even if I yearn to be with you instead. ❞

❝ This will be more bearable if we both fulfill our duties. ❞

❝ I am not what you wanted, but I swear to you I shall fulfill my duties as your husband as well as I can — and leave you alone as much as you wish, should that be your preference. ❞

LOVE

❝ Love can be built, too. And if you’re willing, I would like to try and learn to love you. ❞

❝ I do not care about power and wealth. I want to marry for love. ❞

❝ A marriage is a marriage – love or arranged. Both require the same level of commitment. ❞

❝ My father used to say the strongest loves are built by choice, not by chance. ❞

❝ Do you believe in love at first sight? I think I’m already in love with you. ❞

❝ You will learn to love. You have to be determined to grow a love that will sustain your marriage for a lifetime. ❞

❝ We were friends once, do you remember? I know much has happened since, but there was fondness between us before. Perhaps there may yet be love, one day. ❞

❝ I know there is blood and war between us, that we have both lost much, but I do not wish for either of us to feel like this union is a prison. I wish for love — or respect, at the very least. ❞

❝ We are the last ones alive after years of war. This match was meant to unify our enemy bloodlines and end the conflict, no more — so why is it I find myself caring for you? ❞

❝ Your mother and I married for love, but we are the exception, not the rule. ❞

❝ I want to elope, like mother and father did. ❞

❝ We are already betrothed — why not marry right now? ❞

❝ We were meant for each other from the moment we were born. I would make you my wife right this instant, should that be your wish. ❞

❝ I hadn't dared dream an arranged match would find me a wife I now love more than life itself. ❞

❝ If I believed such things, I would say we were always meant to be. ❞

❝ My betrothed is sweet — but I long for deep, passionate, all-consuming love, not sweet. ❞

❝ If you want my love, show me your devotion. ❞

❝ Is it evil that I'm unsure I can love him? He is perfectly suitable, but... ❞

❝ I do not think he can love me. We get along well enough, but something is missing. ❞

❝ We have fire in our blood. There will never be love between us if he fears the flames. ❞

❝ The sea is in our blood. He can only love me if he is brave enough to navigate the waves. ❞

❝ We are rulers of the skies. How could he ever love someone who lacks her own wings? ❞

STRIFE

❝ You refuse me to give yourself to a peasant?! ❞

❝ I understand not wanting me, but favoring a commoner instead? I should kill him for daring to get close to you. ❞

❝ You are mine now. Act properly. ❞

❝ Who you loved before is meaningless. We are married now, and your lover will remain in the past. ❞

❝ I am your wife! I will not be humiliated like this. ❞

❝ Do not forget who I am, my lord. Married though we may be, I'm a crown princess still — and my family shall not take kindly to you mistreating me. ❞

❝ Am I so inadequate as your wife that you need to seek another's bed? ❞

❝ I know peace and politics dictated our marriage, but must you avoid me so? ❞

❝ Leave me be. I fulfill my marital duties as required, but I am not bound to give anything more. ❞

❝ You did not want me, and I did not want you. We agreed on that. So why are you so offended I enjoy the company of another when you yourself do the same? ❞

❝ What do you wish of me, husband? Is it not enough to have the last of my living kin locked in her chambers? To sit the throne you have taken from my father? What more can you desire from me? ❞

❝ I hate this place. It will never be home, and I will never love you. ❞

❝ You are my wife. I would not see my lady wife looking miserable for all court to see. ❞

❝ You are my queen. Do you realize how many other maidens would kill to be in your place, even as you sulk about it? ❞

❝ My own brother, taking my wife to bed? I did not expect such a betrayal from the two of you. ❞

❝ My sister was the better option, I know. You would have preferred she was the one given to you, but alas, we cannot always have what we want. ❞

❝ The man I most despise in this world, and you see it fit to spend time in his company?! I cannot accept it from my betrothed. ❞

❝ You are my betrothed. I would know what you were doing with him. ❞

❝ My lord should know I will not take kindly to mistresses once we are wedded. ❞

❝ You are mine — or will be, soon enough. Do not dare even look at another. ❞

❝ This was my home once, and you ruined it. ❞

ARRANGEMENTS

❝ You will not give my only child to that monster! ❞

❝ It's insulting that you would even suggest a match so beneath my daughter. ❞

❝ She is a princess. She won’t be wed to someone lesser. ❞

❝ You marry our daughter to whomever you desire, when my corpse is cold in my grave, husband. ❞

❝ He will marry the one we chose, not that peasant! ❞

❝ Wed your son to my daughter, or my daughter to your son — better yet, both. Our bloodlines should be joined as one. ❞

❝ Our daughters and your sons. Wouldn't it be lovely to have them wedded? ❞

❝ My granddaughter should sooner slit that man's throat than share his bed. I should advise her to do just that. ❞

❝ My daughter will marry him, for the good of the realm. I do not care how old he is. ❞

❝ You will do as you’re told and marry them! ❞

❝ We picked the best match available for you. ❞

❝ It is the best we managed. I am sorry you don’t like them, but there was no other way. ❞

❝ You are a princess. You will have to agree to a match eventually. ❞

❝ There are so many good proposals! How come none is to your tastes? ❞

❝ Our bloodline must continue, and for that, you need to marry and have heirs. ❞

❝ I will never let them ship you off to a stranger. ❞

❝ You will not be sold for power like I was. ❞

❝ I won’t let them trade you for their alliance! ❞

❝ The arrangement was made when you were both still children. It is much too late to go back on it. ❞

❝ Only kings would be worthy of you. We will accept no less on your behalf. ❞

❝ It is a good match, better than expected. You will marry her. ❞

❝ My daughter will not marry him. I do not care that he's a prince, nor that it could aid in building peace. That boy will not have her. ❞

❝ I do not care if you would go through with it. I would die before letting that boy have you — better yet, I would rather kill him. ❞

❝ They did not honor their word. I know that for years you expected to marry him, but we are calling off the betrothal. ❞

❝ She will make a fine queen and a fine mother. And she is the only adequate match for you besides, whether you like it or not. ❞

❝ We need to find a suitable match for her, before she brings dishonor upon herself. ❞

❝ They have been betrothed for years. It is time we marry them, I should think. ❞

❝ You shall be wedded soon. His claim will be more secure with suitable heirs of his own. ❞

BEGINNINGS

❝ You are not at all what I imagined. ❞

❝ I know you hold no love for me. How could you when we are practically strangers? And I know we may never come to love each other, but we can at least be friends. ❞

❝ The descriptions I heard did not do justice to your beauty. ❞

❝ You are lovely. I am lucky you are to be wed to me. ❞

❝ I must admit I expected far worse from an arranged marriage. ❞

❝ I want to know you better if we are to be wed. Tell me about the things you like. ❞

❝ Am I not what you expected? ❞

❝ You seem disappointed… I may not be as handsome as you expected, but I shall never treat you unkindly. ❞

❝ This is your home too, now. You are free to go wherever you wish. ❞

❝ How odd we have been betrothed for so long but never saw each other before our wedding day. ❞

❝ It's good, to finally put a face to the name I heard spoken so often. ❞

❝ What can I possibly do to thaw the ice surrounding my lovely bride? ❞

❝ I have not seen you smile since we met, princess. What grave sin have I committed to be met with such derision? ❞

❝ I loathe to admit that even your traitor's blood cannot diminish how beautiful you are. ❞

❝ Beautiful, as well as clever. Were you not the usurper's daughter, I may have come to love you. ❞

❝ So very charming. Were you not sitting my father's throne, I may have taken some liking to you. ❞

❝ We've met before, I know, I know. But can we not make this a new beginning? ❞

❝ I should like to put our differences behind us, difficult though it may be. We are to be wedded, after all. Let this be a new beginning. ❞

❝ I hope, in time, this will be your home. ❞

❝ Know that I shall fulfill every duty to you, as your wife. ❞

❝ I know there are prettier brides, but I'll do all that is expected of me most dutifully. ❞

THE MATCHED

❝ In just a few days I will be wed to someone I never met. ❞

❝ It's so odd to think my entire life will change so fast. A person I don’t even know, bound to me for life. ❞

❝ I know they plan to marry me off to someone soon, even if no one said a thing yet. ❞

❝ How could you agree to this without even asking me what I want? ❞

❝ I do not wish to leave home. My betrothed lives in such a different place… ❞

❝ We have been promised to each other for years, and yet we have never met. ❞

❝ They are deciding your life for you! How can you simply accept it?! ❞

❝ There is no reason to make a fuss. I have known for years that someday I would be married to some stranger my family found suitable. ❞

❝ What do you think your betrothed will be like? ❞

❝ Who do you think they'll marry us to? ❞

❝ What do you think of your betrothed so far? You two seemed to get along. ❞

❝ He is so gallant! I hope they choose him for me. ❞

❝ Wouldn't she make a lovely bride? I would not mind marrying her. ❞

❝ I begged mother to marry [name] instead, but she didn't do anything to change my fate. ❞

❝ I begged them to marry you instead. I know we could have been happy together. ❞

❝ I'm glad you are the one they chose for me. ❞

❝ Were it anyone else, I might rebel. You, I shall gladly marry. ❞

❝ We have been promised for years. Shouldn't we be married already? ❞

❝ I know it is the way of things, but to have a betrothal announced like that... I wasn't expecting it. ❞

❝ He was wedded once before. How can I ever live up to the wife he had before? ❞

❝ What is my betrothed like? ❞

❝ Do I have any say on it? At least give me options and allow me to choose. ❞

FOR THE FAMILIES

❝ Through them, we shall finally join our bloodlines! ❞

❝ Our children make quite the pair. I am glad they seem to get along so easily. ❞

❝ It's a bitter thing, to join hands after everything. More bitter still that it is at the cost of my child's happiness. ❞

❝ Pray your child treats mine well. I will not abide anything less. ❞

❝ He is kind, brave, gentle, strong. Your daughter will be in good hands. ❞

❝ She makes a lovely bride. Lovelier than he deserves. ❞

❝ Poison would be best, but hard to come by. Slit his throat in his sleep and rid yourself of the filth they forced you to marry. ❞

❝ I cannot do as you wish, my love. That decision is beyond me. ❞

❝ As women, we control so little of our fate. ❞

❝ You will one day be his lady, and occupy my place as head of the house alongside your lord husband. A great responsibility, but one I know you shall bear well. ❞

❝ My daughter is what I have of most precious. I pray you cherish her as she deserves. ❞

❝ No alliance will make me accept you as family. You are undeserving of my child. ❞

❝ The king may have ruled in favor of this match, but I have half a mind to slay you where you stand before you can get anywhere near my daughter. ❞

❝ I don't care for peace, I will not give my daughter to the likes of you. ❞

❝ My son will have a fitting queen. Nothing less will suffice. ❞

❝ Sweetling, there's no need for tears. We may not marry for love, but we learn to bear it. ❞

❝ My gentle boy. Would that you could live the romance your heart yearns for. ❞

❝ This will be hard, but if anyone can make it work, I know you can, my child. ❞

❝ None of us could hope to be half as charming as you. If you wish to gain your husband's affection, I'm certain you will succeed. ❞

❝ Do you truly think I'd let my child be married to a monster? Of course I got rid of him. ❞

❝ There is bad blood between our families, but I promise you shall never be treated unkindly here. ❞

❝ Now that you two are wedded, I am hoping for grandchildren soon. ❞

AMBITION AND ALLIANCES

❝ A title is all I am to you. Don't pretend otherwise. ❞

❝ You married me for my claim, I know that! I just thought, given time, we could grow to be fond of each other. ❞

❝ Remember what is at stake. Peace relies on our union. ❞

❝ Both our lands benefit from our match – and I know you will be a good queen. ❞

❝ We were wed for an alliance, but this doesn’t need to be terrible. We can at least be friends. ❞

❝ I married you for your title. I do not care for love. ❞

❝ It would be naive to think a single union will end decades of conflict. This is just the beginning. ❞

❝ They found me someone rich to marry! I will finally have everything I want. ❞

❝ I do not care my betrothed is not handsome – I only care that he is rich. ❞

❝ With this match, I will be queen. ❞

❝ Our marriage strengthens your claim. They cannot quest your heirs, undoubtedly of pure, old blood. ❞

❝ I would marry anyone to become royalty. ❞

❝ This will save our house from doom. ❞

❝ Our son remains unmarried. We may yet use this to form a valuable alliance. ❞

❝ What we decide here is the future of the realm. It needs to be a carefully considered match. ❞

❝ You gained a bride of undisputed lineage for your son. We gained a crown for our daughter. A superb arrangement for all involved, I dare say. ❞

IMPOSSIBLE LOVES

❝ My heart is yours, but we cannot be together. My family would never agree to a match like this. ❞

❝ I too am in love with someone else, but they will never allow me to marry my beloved. Why don’t we make an agreement? ❞

❝ The match is already made but I cannot accept it. I love you! ❞

❝ It is you I love! I could not bear to be with them instead. ❞

❝ Marrying them will give the realm peace. I have to agree to the match, even if you are the one I truly love. ❞

❝ I will never love him as much as I love you. ❞

❝ You would be my choice — but you know the choice is not mine to make. ❞

❝ I'm the heir to the throne. I cannot give up on everything for love. ❞

❝ My father wrote. He said... he said — I am to be married. To — oh gods, he wants to marry me to your brother. ❞

❝ Marry me. I care not if you are beneath my station, I want you. ❞

❝ Would you still have me? I love you, but I know the match made for you would be better. ❞

❝ If you do love me as I love you, marry me. Now. ❞

❝ They cannot make me marry him if we are married already. ❞

❝ You're a prince. We can surely find someone who will agree to wed us if you ask. ❞

❝ Marry me. Your betrothed can do nothing if I've already taken you to wife. ❞

❝ I'll duel him for your hand. ❞

❝ They already whisper about us. Why deny ourselves the pleasure when we're already condemned for the sin? ❞

❝ Only a [family name] can love a [family name]. ❞

❝ As much as I love you, I have nothing. I could give you nothing but my love. ❞

❝ If I can't have you, I shall love only the gods. ❞

❝ If I cannot have her, I shall take no wife and father no children. ❞

❝ Do you have any idea of how torturous that would be? To see you every day, knowing you can never be mine? ❞

❝ I'll make you mine. I won't let you be given to anyone else. ❞

❝ Take no wife. Refuse it. Even if we cannot marry, stay with me. ❞

❝ Promise me you'll never love her. Promise me your heart will remain mine. ❞

ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ʀᴇᴛʀᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ ꜰᴏᴏᴛꜱᴛᴇᴘꜱ is loud within the empty hall, though not as loud as the door snapping shut leaving the pair alone together. they are almost certain that his father expects some type of violence to spring forth from within him at the sight of her, at the notion of being married off to someone against his wishes. as with most things, the news had brought no immediate feelings to the forefront of their mind other than mild annoyance. there were far more important matters going on both within the garlean homeland & abroad to be concerning himself with marriage prospects. at the young age of 26 he is hardly ready to settle down, or rather accept whatever it was that settling down looked like for an entity such as themselves.

whatever marriage was meant to be zenos had no delusions that he did not fit properly within it's intended boundaries. love was out of the equation, not that most royal garlean marriages contained such a thing to begin with, but the emotion eluded the prince to this day as did many strong emotions. within them was an eternal void, a hollowed out cavern that was ever present & ever hungry to be filled. yet the only thing that had seemed to stir a reaction from the prince had been the promise of battle, the notion of meeting a proper opponent who could hold their own against him.

the sight of her does wake some form of curiosity within him. if only from registering this sense of otherworldliness about her. something dwelled within her that spoke of strength, yet whatever that power may prove to be was contained within such a delicate looking vessel. his great form shifts, knees folding to rest one upon the cold stone floor to bring him closer to her height. even like this he still is taller, for such is the greatness of their height differences. they are almost certain that if anyone had been there to witness such a display they would have become faint from the sight. he was not known for affording others any measure of comfort, but if only for the sake of lessening future arguments he sought to not dismiss her feelings.

❝ it's good, to finally put a face to the name I heard spoken so often. ❞

the words that @etharest speaks causes a blonde brow to raise, not out of surprise that she has heard his name spoken so often but that she used the word good to describe the current situation. most would see a marriage to him as nothing more than a prison sentence at best. ❝ is it now ? ❞ they murmur softly, sharp vibrant hues studying her soft features. objectively she was beautiful, ethereal even in way that no other he has met has been. yet another aspect of her to draw in his curiously further. ❝ you are a bold one, aren't you ? to look at the future you have been handed & remain steadfast. ❞ he could admire that in a sense, that despite whatever she may feel she wasn't attempting to beg her way out of this marriage.

❝ liana baeusoleil, someone i have only heard of in name recently. something i suspect was done in an attempt to court my interest. ❞ admittedly he is loath to admit it worked in this rare circumstance. his father may hold no love for him, but he did truly know his spawn. his budding curiosity would be enough for now, which he supposed was perhaps the best foundation this marriage could build from if it was to develop at all. ❝ we will be remaining within doma for the foreseeable future, much must be corrected & properly managed. ❞ he cared not for the politics of it all, for such was a simple matter when one truly put their mind to such things. however as simple as the matter had been, those left in charge of doma had failed him time & time again leading to the present tumultuous situation. ❝ do you wish for your own accommodations ? ❞

a beast he may be in many aspects, he would not force his presence upon her when it was not wanted. while the nature of her status as his future wife kept her caged, he could still make the effort to enlarge that enclosure. any distain he felt for their present situation was fixed firmly upon his father, though he lacked the agency in which to do anything about it presently.

Zenos commission for @glysreia, It was a pleasure to work on this piece!

ɢᴇɴᴛʟʏ ᴘᴀᴛᴛɪɴɢ ᴀ ᴡᴀʀᴍ ᴡᴇᴛ washcloth onto finley's baby food covered cheeks, lorne lets out an amused laugh at his son who was looking far too pleased about having gotten mashed mango all over himself. ❝ are you trying to take after ves hm ? we don't paint with our food silly. ❞ he cooed, not upset at the extra mess. he was just happy that fin had accepted the food & eaten most of it before getting bored & starting his little art project. it felt so good to have finley here, even with him expecting two little ones with aisling. he knew this time around they'd no doubt be on tour soon, pressure from their shitty label was ever increasing for them to produce & perform. the drummer tried not to let it get to him, though at times he wanted to just ask his partner in both romance & career to ditch their label entirely.

vessel had already made the terms of their return to touring clear, more hotel rooms & no more back to back performances. all a consideration for finley's presence, lorne's pregnancy, & everyone's all around mental & physical health. as he busied himself cleaning up the highchair his son was seated in he couldn't help but think about their last tour, how stressful it had been with jayden sick as hell & the forced back to back performances that had made travel pure hell. there had been a time when lorne would have just accepted it, taken whatever their label would give having had nothing before. now however he knew their value, knew that plenty of other companies would gladly pay top dollar for them & knew if they went independent that they could actually make it still financially & renown wise.

once both his son & the highchair was cleaned up he carefully let fin out, scooping up the already growing baby with ease. ❝ you're gonna be bigger than me soon if you keep this up finny. ❞ he teased, pressing a kiss to his son's cheek. it was clear in every way that fin was a mini me of his father, taking after jayden like a carbon copy. lorne loved to playfully tease his partner about it, faking offense that his firstborn looked nothing like him. admittedly he loved that fin took after his father so much despite his teasing.

❝ why don't we go see what dada is up to hm ? ❞ securing finley on his hip he wandered into the living room where he was happy to find his partner watching tv. ❝ someone wants to see you love. ❞ he grinned, shifting to hand fin over to his father before sitting down next to jayden. leaning in he pressed a kiss to his partner's cheek before pulling back to watch the two interact. ❝ i was thinkin' we might be able to get out for a little bit today if you're interested. wanted to take fin to the park to watch the birds, maybe stop somewhere to look at clothes. he's already almost grown out of his newest ones. ❞ lorne had a feeling that fin would grow up to be tall like jayden, if not as tall. while he didn't wish his own small stature on any of his kids, he admittedly had hoped that he wouldn't be towered over by everyone in the house. ❝ maybe we can get a new t-o-y for him as a little treat. ❞ he smiled softly, not ashamed to admit that he loved to spoil his son. it wasn't without reason or to an excessive state where it could lead to a bratty child. lorne had grown up with so little & had struggled for so long during his early adult years that he had promised himself that if he ever had children that he'd make sure they never went without.

The aroma of FRESHLY cooked pasta hits their nose the moment they step in the door after struggling to get turn the key of their flat into the janky lock, muttering quiet, tired curses underneath their breath. Walking home this late at night was always DAUNTING, even with Vessel's intimidating stature they would find themselves briefly saying a prayer to Sleep for protection before they set off. Their eyelids slightly droop with exhaustion and they lean against the closed door for a moment, trying to get enough energy together to go walk further into the flat to seek out II. They knew he worried about them so when their shifts went much longer into the early morning hours when practically all the rest of the world lay asleep. It would be DAWN in three hours time and by then Vessel would be curled up in bed, hopefully meeting Sleep within their Dreamscape and getting the rest they needed to prepare for the next day. If they got lucky, they'd wake up inspired enough to jot down lyric ideas or play around with some melodies on their keyboard or guitar before they had to get ready for work again. Rinse and repeat over and over again. What a dull thing life was if this was to be their fate. But Sleep had made them promises upon their meeting, promises of fame and fortune yet to come so long as they put their FAITH in Him.

" Darling? " Vessel calls out as they finally peel themselves away from the door and go to step into their shared bedroom, clustered and CRAMPED as it always was with their various belongings. Among them today notably being the sketchbook and art supplies that they had accidentally left out on the bed. Their face flushes a shade or two darker when they notice II looking through the charcoal sketches, remembering exactly what they had recently drawn. " M'sorry, forgot to put that all away before I left. " Vessel had gotten far too focused on the sketches and by the time they checked the clock they were nearly LATE for work, scrambling to gather everything they needed together. Moving further into the room, they settle next to II and gently rest their head on one of his shoulders, pressing a quick kiss to the side of his neck. " So, d'you like it, love? I needed the practice and...I can't help but draw you, you're my muse. "

ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇʟɪᴇꜰ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪɪ ꜰᴇᴇʟꜱ once vessel is home is overwhelming, it never gets easier despite how routine their days were as of late. he'd always worry for vessel, it was an ingrained part of who the aspiring drummer was. from a young age he'd been vessel's shadow, their ever present companion & protector at times. ii even though he had been & still was smaller than most he would readily throw hands if it meant keeping vessel safe. on more than one occasion he'd nursed a black eye or bruised knuckles from a fight he'd gotten into, but he'd yet to get into a fight that he'd lost.

letting out a soft sound as his partner settles in beside him, the old mattress sinking further down under their combined weight, he leans into vessel's side as his neck is kissed. " they're beautiful love. " he murmurs softly, blue hues shifting from the sketchbook in hand to gaze into vessel's familiar brown hues. " if it's you, 'm flattered. " vessel was always respectful of his body, respectful of the good days & the bad alike. ii feels nothing but comfort & no small amount of flattered at the way in which his partner draws him. seeing those images makes him feel handsome, knowing that this was how vessel saw him.

" did you get to eat at work ? i made dinner. " he asked softly, gently setting the sketch pad back on the bed beside him so he can shift to wrap his arms around vessel's midsection. " nothin' fancy but i made it with love. " he smiled softly, resting his head on his partner's shoulder. he did his best to look after vessel, but he wanted to be able to provide more. intimacy work paid well enough, but it's not what he wanted out of life. every night he prayed to sleep hoping that he would follow through & bless them with success.

❝ was thinkin... it might be time for a new mattress. ❞ the one they have was old, worn down & sagging on vessel's side. they had some money stashed away, not their emergency savings that was for the essentials of rent & food should something happen. it's been hard to squirrel away any money, but they'd gotten more breathing room since ii had started his intimacy work. it paid better than his old day job, which said a lot about the job industry as a whole.

❝ i know we were gonna wait but i can't stand seeing you in pain. ❞ on more than one occasion he'd worked the knots out of vessel's lower back, something he never minded doing but knowing that there was a semi easy fix ? he wanted to do what he could to make it happen. ❝ when's your next day off love ? we can go lookin' for something that is comfortable for you. ❞ ii wasn't as concerned about himself, he weighed about as much as two redbull cans put together on a good day. with vessel's height & bulking up now he needed the support more.

she’d remained there, arms wound around him and head rested on his shoulder as she listened to him speak. mentions of tour expenses and finances, things that she did not understand and felt complicated for her. mina did not envy him for that, she preferred things of ease. things that she understood, things that were predictable to her. he speaks of his own experiences, the challenges of trying to navigate a changing diet and a determining of what was acceptable for ingesting and what had him running away to be sick. mina understood this well, perhaps in a much differing capacity. the horror of an earlier childhood of her body slowly killing her. a body that became allergic to all things normal, everything that she used to previously like - had been replaced with a need for something darker, something human. mina wondered how long she’d be able to continue like this before she lost her own humanity. [ how foreign it is to be loved and treated with kindness despite the blood on your hands ]

mina continues to listen to him, the offering of taking her out for shopping, to explore. a day on the down. it was certainly something that intrigued her even if she felt nervous about the unknown. ❝ i…yes. ❞ mina responds, a little quiet at first before thinking it over more in her mind, releasing her hold on him and standing at his side more, meeting his eyes. ❝ i think that would be nice. i'd like to see things.. ❞ her voice trailed off a bit, gaze soon falling to fixate at a book on his desk. she did want to go but she had apprehensions. growing up within such a sheltered environment and experiencing what she had - she did not know what to expect. ❝ you'd stay close? ❞ the words came out small , as if she were just a girl again. [ you will always be defined by what you are, mina. ]

ᴛʜᴇ ᴀɴᴛɪᴘᴏᴘᴇ ᴛʀᴜʟʏ ᴀᴅᴏʀᴇᴅ ᴀʟʟ ʜɪꜱ ᴄʜɪʟᴅʀᴇɴ, @eatsraw included. from the day he'd met her he had quickly made the decision that he would ensure she was looked after no matter the cost. perhaps it was his strong paternal side that had been encouraged & inspired by his own father figure of his eldest brother that had led him to becoming so quickly attached to mina. either way he would not fight the gift that it was of having his little family expand. at her question he nods, his own eyes shifting to stare at a painting on the wall of his office. he doesn't fault her for the lack of eye contact, something he himself struggled with daily much to others disapproval. ❝ always, as much as i enjoy a good day out crowds tend to make me a little uneasy. ❞ he admitted softly.

it was always a balancing act of allowing himself some fun outside of the abbey's walls & dealing with the inevitable overstimulation that came with dealing with the general populace. ❝ the good news is i am familiar with how to avoid the ehhh tourist traps. ❞ anyone born within rome knew where to avoid, the areas that were expensive & catered towards the tourist industry. not that he could fault the areas for that, the economy of such places often lived & died by the travel scene.

❝ i will need to go hunting soon, so we will have what we both need shortly. ❞ it was a strange thing to have this other side to him, more animalistic & instinct driven when he was on the hunt for fresh blood. even for a satanist it had been a difficult thing to come to terms with, not that he hadn't spilled blood before but needing to do so in order to survive was another thing entirely. somehow when it was a sacrifice to his god it seemed less personal, which he was sure didn't say good things about him but he'd never claimed to be a good man.

perhaps it was why he tended to prefer the company of the ghouls, inhuman demons of hell, over the mortals that called the abbey home. they understood him far better, didn't pass judgement on his needs being met. ❝ we've had too many curious people coming too close to the abbey as of late, between the ghouls & myself we'll thin out their numbers enough to scare them off. ❞ another thing he didn't take joy in, but at the same time wouldn't apologize for doing. while the abbey welcomed in wayward individuals, those attempting to trespass simply for the thrill of getting close to the infamous satanic church were free game.

a little life update due to yesterday just taking it out of me but i am safe, i have landed from my flight & settled in with the amazing @la1cized & @deusabsentas. i spent last night resting & decompressing from airport travel bs but everything has been great & i feel like i can finally breath. my plan is to do some carrd work on profiles & such while also getting to some asks & over due threads that i'd like to carry over. i am moving my copia muse from @faithstar over to here because he's just being difficult & not consistently present enough to have his own blog at the moment. if / when i have a more active muse for him i might consider moving him back to his solo blog but i don't see that happening any time soon. i really appreciate everyone who's been patient with me while i've been in moving mode & under a stupid amount of stress due to family.
