Thank you to @beautyofthend! Without her this would never have been finished.

Aidan as Phil Hendricks in Thorne: Sleepyhead

Aidan as Phil Hendricks in Thorne: Scaredycat

This is, sadly, very true 😔

Does anyone else out there feel like they are trapped in a life that was never meant to be theirs? Like a character who has been dropped into a story that they don't belong in? Where nothing makes sense to them and they just don't seem to fit?

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?

It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!

because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.

Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.

let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done

Been waiting so long for this!!!!

GOOD NEWS!

On this day so many years ago,

You opened your eyes and welcomed the world.

You, an old soul, with new things to learn

Bravely you have walked the path before you,

The one you chose and made your own, 

It has not been an easy path,

But you have walked it with integrity in your soul,

Mistakes a plenty for the human condition is inescapable, 

Yet wisdom gained with each one,

So broken at times but still whole,

For out of sheer will you have picked up the pieces of you and filled the cracks with gold,

Tears may be streaming down your face, 

Yet your face is always raised against the wind, 

Oh, so brave, 

In your heart, hope still ablaze,

Freedom always gracing your wings, 

As you fly high above,

Faith always painted in your eyes, 

The desire to live and fill the world with the beauty at your fingertips is never ending.  

Let forevermore this day be called blessed, 

All the joy in it be condensed,

and into your blessed heart be laid,

Let the angels sing louder and more beautiful today,

Let the flowers bloom more brightly,  

The wind play more joyfully, 

The sun shine more warmly,

For today is your birthday. 

e.v.e.

One of my favourite films ever!

Control - Ralph Anderson x Shifter!Reader 2 (The Outsider)

Sequel to Halfway Home

@mandy23b​ @wltz-bby​ @happyskywhale​ #mendotagsquad

Author’s Note: This song, this damn song, oh my god. I confess I hadn’t listened to any Halsey at all (besides a couple of collabs with other artists I like) until I was music swapping with @mandy23b​…  But I honestly don’t think I’ve loved an album this much lyrically in a very long time! Anyway, a second part was always in the works. This song for sure inspired the finish of it.

Thank you @mendelskrull​ and @crawlingmist​ I really REALLY hope the sequel was worth the wait 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Control - Halsey

I wrote this before I read ‘If It Bleeds’ but I see the immediate eerie similarities in my Shifter species. I think I might cover it off in the finale…

Premise: After a particularly erratic encounter with Ralph Anderson, you wait on your fate… can you trust the Detective to make the right choice? Can he trust you, at all?

How Deep Is Your Love - Danny Rayburn x Reader (Bloodline)

Danny + 91 -  “Tell me you need me.” Requested by Anon 💙

Author’s Note: Danny is the final posted as tradition states! Here we are, 16/16! It’s taken a significantly shorter period of time than last year and would have taken even shorter if I’d have just posted them one after the other.  So, your request “He needs some reassurance after a day with his family.” might have been calling for some sweetness and angst… I accidentally gave you spice instead… Ooops… 😬😬😬

I hope it’s still enjoyable - and even more I hope this last one was worth the wait!

Disclaimer: Bloodline characters not mine / gif not mine (credit as appropriate) / lyrics not mine.

Premise: After another particularly hard day with his family, Danny is in need of a little R&R. However, his idea and yours might not be exactly the same…

Thank you for requesting - here’s some Malcolm for you, as a treat 😉😘

"Why do you like them? Their old and, well old. You should like guys your own age, like normal people. You know? It would be better for you. Like how can you find them attractive? You should just stick to younger men."

Why? O.O Why would I do that when there's...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

...this...

... gorgeousness.

And what ever gave you the idea that just because I love all of the above I can't also love younger men? Younger and older women? What ever got it in your head that my love and appreciation begins and ends at older men? O.O

Are you sure your head is screwed on right?

What ever gave you the idea you have a right to comment on another person's preferences (as long as it's not harmful or illegal, what's it to you?)?

“And what is the occasion for such a gift?” Bard asked you looking over the bow. “I know I didn’t miss a birthday or an anniversary.” He chuckled.

“No occasion, just thought I would surprise you with a gift.” You smiled, happy to see he liked his gift.

“Well it’s beautiful, the craftsmanship is great.” He replied looking at you. “Though I don’t think I deserve it.” He admitted.

“Of course you do. Plus since yours broke I thought it best for you to have a new one.” You told him.

He placed the bow down on the table and pulled you into a hug wrapping one arm around your shoulder and placing the other to caress the back of your head. He gently placed a kiss on your temple before moving his head to rest on your shoulder.

“What did I do to deserve to be married to an amazing person like you?” He asked  rhetorically and in disbelief.

“Let’s see you saved my life, love me unconditionally, support me as I support you.” You listed as you smiled though you knew he didn’t need you too.

“And yet I should be the one giving you gifts for no reason.” He replied as he broke the hug.

“You give me gifts all the time...” you said causing him to look at you confused, “okay so sometimes they’re more of surprise unexpected things like that cat you found and I didn’t know till it jumped on the table or when you got sick and decided to share it with me.” You chuckled but realized he didn’t find it as funny still. “But still you surprise me with flowers and other things like that which I love so much.” You told him seriously.

“Sometimes I wish I could give you a lot much more (y/n).” He said with sadness in his eyes.

“Bard I love you so much, more than any kind of gifts or trinkets. I would change anything.” You replied with a small smile on your face that he mirrored.

“I love you too (y/n). More than anything, besides my three troublemakers.” He chuckled.

“Oh yes can never forget the troublemakers. Though I think they’ve had a troublesome influence.” You smiled.

Wow that turned more fluffy and sappy than I planned 😬🥲
