Oooh that one is fun I've been wanting to do a horror movie au for tvd for ages and while ready or not would be perfect for delena I cannot write that ship 😅 cannot do them justice but the invitation 👀 Okay so for anyone hasn't seen the invitation it's a horror movie about Dracula and his three wives basically. And I was watching it and I thought the blonde 1920s wife Lucy kinda reminded me of Caroline and Victoria was giving Katherine. So I thought wouldn't it be fun if instead of Dracula it was about the Mikaelsons? And each wife secured them a connection with different supernatural factions rather than real estate etc. So for the first wife from 1000 years ago we've got Finn and Sage for traveller roots. Then we've got Kalijah and doppelganger roots from 500 years ago. We've got Klaroline and werewolf roots from 100. Once the process is started then the window between each connection gets shorter and as Kol is the next in succession it's his turn to find a wife! Enter Bonnie and her witch background.

So we've got Bonnie living in Chicago going by her father's name and she'd taken up the catering job to spend time with her at the time boyfriend Jeremy when he'd been working at art galleries. Through the job she met Nora who's filling the movie role of Grace. Now at this point Bonnie's Grams has died and her dad has also recently passed with her breakup and Nora only living with her on occasion she's feeling pretty isolated and alone having a moved away from her home town to follow Jeremy that the idea of connecting with family through this DNA kit is kinda appealing. Nora doesn't really understand why she'd trust a creepy kit over a spell and it's not like she's alone she's a honorary member of their coven. Bonnie doesn't bother explaining that she still feels isolated from them as she's not a heretic. But she does connect with her cousin Lucille Bennett and discovers her heritage as a Bennett witch. Nora thinks she must be up to something Bennett witches are notorious for being secretive so that means there's a lot of spells that aren't shared around, perhaps Lucy is hoping to get her hands on one. But Nora encourages her to meet her and see what she can find out

So if course Bonnie is going to go through with meeting Lucy and her family, all those Bennett's she never knew about. And in the process meet Kol and the other Mikaelsons and realise that the supernatural world is so much more vast than she realised

It's gonna be fun I just gotta try to figure out how to write it as a satisfying happy ending rather than how it ends in the movie.....

HMMMM. Well, playing on our mutual interest in Bad Wolf Rose. (also because I dunno how to make something with 'river' in the title about my hobbit girl who lives rent free in my brain at all times lol)

--- They say knowledge is a fruit - sweet with a bitter pith to discourage sinking too deep into it. But she knows better. Knowledge is water - fluid and so very deep that there is no bottom on which to stand. She reaches out, knowing somehow she must brave the knowledge tinted golden by the color of time itself shining in her and out of her every pore.

It flows cool over her fingers, pools in the shining hollow of her palms as she brings it to her mouth and drinks.

And finds it bitter salty savoury sour sweet. Every flavor and yet none but leaving a longing for something she cannot define.

She reaches again and drinks - until the world is changed in her hands.

Hi, Abbey! Thank you for providing one of my most beloved ships.

i totally feel you on the issue of being kind to yourself!! it's so hard, especially when you're in the middle of a difficult brain day, to stop and try to shift your thinking all around, 99% of the time it doesn't even feel like it works, it just feels like lying to yourself!! like, no! i'm not great and awesome, i'm being an annoying asshole who can't get up off the floor!!! i'm sabotaging my whole life!!

but one thing that's helped me—doesn't mean it works for everyone or will even be applicable to you—but one thing that i have personally tried to internalize is that being kind to myself isn't a state of mind so much as an action i have to consciously remind myself to take. it's not me going, "i should feel good about myself," but going, "hang on, what do i need right now?" because i feel like a lot of the stuff that puts you on the floor and keeps you there is actually... unfulfilled needs.

like, do i need a friend and some encouragement? do i need to feel safe for a minute, and currently the safe place is on the floor, and if i just sit quietly and absorb that i'm here for five minutes, will that help me get up? do i just need a snack??

finding the actual need and trying to address it can sometimes be where the kindness lives (to me!!!) and that feels easier to achieve than trying to change my state of mind. that probably comes later, after we've trained our brains into confronting the bad times with a gentle, "hey, dummy. what do you need?"

hi abbey!!! omg i bet your spotify wrapped is on POINT

2: meet me in the woods, lord huron (bloody banger)

Top 5 ships:

1) The Doctor x Rose Tyler from Doctor Who (I believe every incarnation of the Doctor would love Rose, but I especially ship incarnations Nine, Ten, Tentoo, Twelve with Rose)

2) Ty Borden x Amy Fleming from Heartland

3) Melinda Gordon and Jim Clancy from Ghost Whisperer

4) Alek Hardy and Rose Tyler from Broadchurch and Doctor Who, respectfully

5) Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea

Lipstick or Chapstick: neither, I usually rub a tiny dot of lotion on my lips. I only use lipstick (any makeup in general) on very rare/special occasions.

Last song: Rumor by Lee Brice (this gave me some serious doctor x rose vibes!)

Last movie: The American President (1995)

Last television show: Doctor Who (season 4, episodes 12 & 13)

Reading: fanfics are pretty much all I'm reading these days it seems. I'm actually rereading some favs, just finished 'I Was Here' and it's sequel 'Broadchurch Life' by mrsbertucci. Currently enjoying 'On The Rocks' by @badxwolfxrising

The random things that make me happy:

1) Cute, fluffy romantic fics! (These days, exclusively DW and/or Broadchurch related)

2) though I can't do so as often these days, hugs. I'm a very tactile person and love me some hugs! Hugging my daddy and my grandma, makes me especially happy!

3) seeing funny, uplifting, or random posts from my friends and mutuals!
