i need kate laswell carnally that woman is so fucking hot i need her to kill me its the only way i want her to tear myflesh from my throat and stain her teeth with rust as i asphyxiate on my own blood
just a quick sketchy thing, i just jbjbjbj. NOT ME almost crying during the 1st session of the campaign ft. my new warlock and his patron (the void kitty who turned out to be an absolute spooked BABY i’m not sure even understands being some sort of powerful ancient shadow creature thing..... :’0)
they were running from a huge herd of some angered cave creatures when an earthquake wiped the path from under their feet and they fell into a pit w/o any other way out but a mysterious door with an unfamiliar teleport behind it. my dude Knell had no idea what would happen once they pass thru or if they were even going to make it. but he tried to help Knead (the kitty) calm down and to make sure it wouldn’t pay too much attention to what they were going to do, so he cast a lil familiar light for it to watch while they’d walk thru the door.... bc in case that was going to be their last moment, he wanted it to be as comforting as possible for his baby :-( :-(
(yes he was overreacting big time but it was dramatic and i had also severely underestimated his love for that little creature)
I was doodling something for myself and suddenly i realized i wanna talk.
(doodle might not make any sense shh lets ignore it djjdjdjjd)
I wanna talk about Rhea's in general, the Rhea curse that i never explained and the Night's life during Hogwarts years.
Maybe i will do it in parts, to not make anyone bored while reading it. Lets focus on basic info about Rhea's for now.
İf you have time for a story, come on in. I have tea for us 💜
/I must add this as tw just to be safe, there is mention of suicide/
Ah im bit nervous. İ have never been good to explain things you know. But we are here having tea, yes i actually do have with me, so i wanna relax a bit. Talking about my oc should be fun right?
Tho the reason for my nervous state is actually me not have been in the fandom for a while. Because of, you know, real life. İt was tough, nothing to worry about tho, but still i feel like i missed so much about the mc's and the creators i love. More than missing it, the guilt that i havent been supporting my fandom friends, and maybe not knowing if there are people i might make uncomfortable by reaching them. (Fandom dramas was weird) That guilt made me stay even more away. But i missed terribly to be there just simping over silly things.
So i dont wanna overthink, i just wanna share Night's story that i have been kinda proud of having it. Thanks for joining me here today~
Maybe because its Eid im emotional today, alright time to get started!
İ created an image for Night, as i claim its fifth year Night. The Night who is loud as fuk, run and fly around in castle, messes up with Merula's hair in both human and hawk form, overexcited about having chocolate, cant sit still without annoying Cordell on daily basis, greets everyone with a big smile but still shy to actually talk, makes you wonder how someone can be even more loud when they are on Quidditch pitch.
The Night you know i assume, also hope the one you love.
Even though i dont really talk about Cordell, he is very important part of Night's life. Seriously how much i actually did talk about him?
Did you know he doesnt have coffee tolerance? Like one cup of coffee and he will be up all night. Did you know his favorite color is actually brown but he doesnt actually own anything with that color? Did you know despite not accepting it out loud he see himself as big brother to Night and this is why he is always so annoyed by them?
*sigh* To understand Night and Cordell's teenager years we must know about the house they grow up. We must know what kind of family was Rhea's.
Their home was rather b i g, having all the Rhea families in it. Night like to call it a Castle. Stone cold, unnececcarily big and unnececcarily important to family members. There is something off about that 'castle' to make every elder to want to own it. Night and Cordell doesnt know it yet.
They will learn.
Here let me show you the family tree to make it bit easier. Dont worry you dont need to remember everyone.
This is how big Rhea's were actually. As you can see there were even in family marriages, thankfully with new generations it didnt happen again.
Jocelyn married into another family, Weston married with a man who his family didnt wanted and even adopted three kid. These twos own family doesnt count as Rhea's anymore,unfortunatelly.
Back then before the first big war with Voldemort, everything was more simple in Rhea household. Night and Yakup's dad Matthew (yes another mc dad name...) was the head of the house. Yakup, Night, their mother Seline and Matthew was staying in the center of the castle.
At their right, there was Cordell and his family. He, his mother Esther Black, his father Jonathan (he is someone who you will need to remember later) and.. His big sister Clara. Yes i will talk about her in a while.
At their left there was Jonathan and Matthew (the Rhea brothers) cousin Zachary's family. He was married with someone from Rosier family, Teresa Rozier and they had three kids named Belinda Healy and Daniel.
Even if the castle was not the liveliest place, the kids didnt stop being kids of course. The laughs of Yakup, Night and their cousins were the probably only things make the building look like a real house.
Rhea's were Death Eaters. This is no secret. So what happened to them after war?
İ hope this is easy to understand
So as you can see they are no longer a big family. Now in that big castle there is only grandmother Lydia;Cordell and his father Jonathan; Night, Yakup and their mother Seline lives. Zachary's son Daniel was sent to France to relatives of his mother Teresa.
Just, basic info for today. There is maaany scandals i need to tell you about them but shhh not today.
I said Matthew (Night's father) is the head of the house. Why? Because he was the only one who was born as Legilimens AND was able to master Occlumency. Here another chart of Rhea's but this time with their abilities
Yakup being just like his father made Matthew the one in power in family. 'But Jonathan has Clara who is also Legilimens. Why not them?'
Well..
Thats where the curse of Rhea's enters.
Grandmother Lydia liked very much to tell her grandchildren the story of first Rhea's. After all its about how their blood got blessed with knowledge of finding the truth, its the reason their family has much power in their hands now.
She says, humans didnt learn the art of reaching minds secrets. They gained it by blood.
She says, that form of art was unique to dragons. Unique to their blood.
She says it was a woman from Rhea's who is known to kill a dragon for the first time, in history. She was the first one who dared to drink dragons blood as well.
That woman is now known the creator of Legilimency.
Occlumency, in the other hand, was perfected by her husband.
What Grandmother Lydia didnt talk about was, how that first Legilimens died. How she and her oen mind seperated into two beings in one body.
And how this lack of control passed by blood since generations.
The Curse of Rhea's is, basically, what we can call as Alter Ego actually. One's mind holds onto one strong feeling, and makes it into something real. Turns it into something the one can hear can see but mostly can understand. Of course it has many effects on the ones life, but thats actually what it is.
Let me explain it with Clara. Because she is the last victim of that curse.
Clara is only two year older than Yakup. Since she is the oldest one between Rhea Brothers childrens, she grew up with so many expectation on her. She was expected to be perfect, in every way. And Clara, despite all the efforts she puts into making herself the perfect one, got never used to the feeling of being afraid of being wrong. Doing wrong. Saying wrong. Looking wrong. She was afraid. She was mostly afraid of her father. So, so afraid that it was enough for her mind to turn her fears into something real.
Her curse, was in form of butterflies. Purple, little butterflies.
Clara would scream whenever she sees one, Cordell was never succesfull about making her believe there is no butterflies in room.
She would never wear any of her clothes if she sees any butterfly touch it.
She was talking about how loud these butterflies were. They always knew when Clara was going fail. They always knew how Clara was going to fail. They always knew who Clara was going to fail.
Cordell never understand where are his sisters butterflies. And why she hates them. And why she keeps them if she hates them that much.
İt was middle of night when the worst of it happened. Cordell's room was closest to hers, so he was the first one who woke up to her screams. He rushed to her room.
He was only six, when he saw his sister holding her head between her hands.
He was only six, when she pushed him away so hard that he fell from the bed he climbed to comfort her.
He was only six, when she fell top of him, her hands on his neck, her eyes glowing purple.
He was only six, when she screamed on his face that she hates 'her' . That she wanted 'her' gone. That she is gonna make sure 'she' is gone.
Suddenly she just left his neck, stood up, picked up her wand.
That was the first time Cordell saw the butterflies. They were everywhere. On everything in room, on Clara. There was so many butterflies on Clara. She couldnt even see now. She couldnt even breathe now. She could barely lift her wand, and Cordell didnt even hear the spell she whispered.
When the first light of flames shined on the tip of her wand, he run away from room.
Next morning, there wasnt any room behind that door. There was no one named Clara in Rhea family photos. And there was no sister Cordell remembered.
So what if Cordell hate the color of purple but doesnt know why? İt doesnt have to have any reason at all. What if Cordell is very sensitive about self harm? What if Cordell cant stand seeing butterflies? There is no need for a reason. Right?
(There will be only one person who is both alive and remembers Clara. İ cant wait to Cordell to figure out everything already)
İ think this is great place to stop for now.
Wow you listened to me until here, thank you for your patience :')
İm aware i didnt explain everything or in every way, but its still a start right? At least now you know Night lives with his mother, uncle and Cordell now. And what happened to other family members.
Most importantly now you know something effected huge to Cordell's life. You know why Cordell can be overprotective of Night even if it only shows in form of he getting angry at Night about almost everything.
İn the next part i wanna talk about first three years of them in Hogwarts. And this include the cousins friendship with Rowan and Barnaby mostly! With Merula and Ben following of course~
You would make me very happy if you let me know what you think. İm normally anxious about posting just a writing without any art about it buuut here we aree~
parents will stick their house on the top of a hill 7 miles away from any populated area or uber service (FORGET public transit. FOREVER.), wave you off when you approach them to say “hey i need you to take me to a computer repair place. my laptop is on the fritz and if we put off bringing it to a professional, the projected price to repair it will jump from $250-400 to $800. at that point it would be cost effective to just buy a new laptop, which will be closer to over $1k. I don’t expect you to buy me a new laptop. please transport me to a local computer repair shop so we can address this problem while the projected quote is still between $250-$400.”
and they will go no 🙄 you need to deal with it yourself. and you will say “okay I am more than happy to deal with it myself. guidance would have been nice but im capable of handling this solo. The sooner I have a functioning computer, the sooner I can get back to work; which is extremely important to me that I value highly in my life and Currently Very Time-Sensitive Plans. Since I’m taking care of it myself, are you ready to teach, train, and guide me throughout learning how to drive, within the timeframe of ~1 month. Because any longer runs the risk of my computer burning out. Reminder: we don’t even need to wait a month at all, we can save time, trouble, expenses if we drive 15 minutes into town this weekend.” and they will go no 🙄 to both options
and then your laptop breaks down like you said it was about to do. and you temporarily put aside your own frustrations and feelings about it because they won’t help anything right now and your singular laser-focused priority is A Working Laptop. Whatever The Cost. so you bring up again that now you REALLY NEED TO GET TO A REPAIR PLACE and this is impacting your ability to work and they hit you with the ‘you should have dealt with it sooner 🙄 it’s too expensive to fix now’ MOTHERFUCKERRRRR I KNOW THIS. I’VE KNOWN THIS. IM THE ONE WHO REPEATEDLY COMMUNICATED IT TO YOUUUUUUU WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPENNNNNN
