Failed Hero

Failed hero

(tw blood)

(book 7 spoilers under the cut)

Basically this is one of the things that happened to Blade in book 7 (specifically at the beginning of the Malleus overblot)

He didn't die but I can't tell the rest because I intend to continue either through drawing or writing yayyyyy

He. He went through things.

Task failed successfully

Rose swiped through her new contacts and scanned the Mirror chamber. It was simple, she was just going to ask Jack for his number. It was a completely normal, friendly gesture; she'd already gotten Ace and Deuce's. She'd like to think they were friends despite never having voiced it. She was one of the few people he voluntarily went near and talked to. Maybe she should leave the ball in his court, though? Yeah, she'll just give him her number, that way he can decide what he wants to do. Totally friendly.

Steeling herself, she caught sight of him, silver hair and ears, towering over the rest of the room.

"Jack!" She called his name, pushing through the restless students eager to get home for the holidays. His ears twitched and he turned back to her, stopping just in front of the portal that the Dark Mirror had conjured for him.

"Just in time!" She laughed, waving at him as she approached. "I have something for you!"

Oh gosh, he was adorable. His ears swiveled toward her and his tail wagged lightly, his face turning red. Damn, she hoped she wasn't misreading these signs. The way he seemed to perk up when he noticed her, the pretty little blush, not to mention the way his tail wagged (despite how he denied it).

"Rose?"

Ooh, she loved the way he said her name. His deep, rumbly voice, the way his lips formed the letters... sheesh, when did she start thinking in romance novel? He certainly had pretty lips though, that's for sure. Thin but full. Probably warm and soft. She was staring now, look away! She was doing something! ... She couldn't remember what now.

When did she get this close to him? She had something to do! Something...

"I... I have something... to give you." She muttered, now only inches from him. He was even brighter red than before, but he wasn't pushing her away. Did he...?

Her hands landed on his chest. He was warm. "Rose? W-What exactly are you giving me?" His ears were forward and she could see his tail wagging fast in her peripheral vision. Did he want this too? He wasn't pushing her away, he...

She was on her tiptoes, her nose brushing his. He was standing completely still, panting slightly. She'd come this close, no way was she chickening out now. She pressed her lips to his.

The noise of the bustling boys seemed to die out around them, her awareness of the world around her falling just to them. The feeling of him against her, warm and solid. His hands had drifted to her waist and back, pulling her flush against him.

She had no idea what she was doing, and she was fairly certain he didn't either. She moved her mouth against his, brushing her tongue along his lips. He responded in kind. It was clunky and sloppy, and their teeth were knocking together, but it wasn't unpleasant. She definitely didn't want to stop.

A wolf whistle (hah) rang out from somewhere in the hall and all at once the world resumed around them. Rose almost fainted from the speed at which blood rushed to her face. "Right! Have a good holiday, say hi to the fam for me, I'm gonna go light that bitch on fire!"

Jack opened his mouth to say something, his own face resembling a tomato, but she was already speed walking away in the direction of the whistle. Whoever did that better already be gone or they were eating embers.

Shit. She didn't give him her number. She turned back around, but she didn't see him where he was before. Dammit.

Now she was going to have to go the whole break with nothing but that moment on repeat in her mind.

I've been staring at this too long, take it away from meee

@screamintoad, @babyghoul138, @skriblee-ksk (you guys have all said cute stuff about JackRose but if you don't want me to tag you just say so)

If you follow my blog, you probably know Hazem Khalil [1][2][3]. He is a dentistry student in Belgium who has been fundraising to save his family back in the Jabalia Refugee Camp, Gaza.

I am here to bring to your attention his close friend Ahmed Khader. Ahmed and Hazem were neighbors and friends before they moved to Belgium. Ahmed (@ahmedpalestine) is in a similar situation - he left Gaza to pursue higher education years ago and now has to support his family from afar as they endure the unimaginable. Originally from the north, they are now stuck in al-Maghazi camp in Deir al-Balah, an area now being heavily targeted by IOF airstikes and a tank invasion.

Ahmed tells me his family is faced with a truly wretched dilemma: evacuate to another area or stay put and try to survive. It's a false choice. They will face bombings, poverty, tank invasions, disease, and starvation no matter where they go. Because genocide does not allow people to make choices. It aims to annihilate them entirely.

Ahmed's campaign has yet to raise 2000 euros. Let's get him to 5000 as soon as we can, and consistently support him going forward. This money will allow his family to finance both their continued survival in central Gaza and any evacuations they are forced into in the future. Through your contribution they may be able to ward off annihilation for one more day.

Smth based off @natsukishinomiyaswife’s fic here! READ IT!! not just for context but bc its sooo good?? Still shocked with how many people she fit in there.

I was SO happy Kiyuu appeared in there!!! But more than that, Jackiyuu friendship in every universe is smth i strive. Although there is only room for one specific Jack in her heart!!!

Time to talk more about Kiyuu!!

She actually has a lot of doubts abt her relationship with Jack, but in a really really weird way??? She got the aromantic doubts out of her system when she confessed to him, so it’s not about that.

Like if Jack liked someone else, she’d happily give him up so he can be happy, but in a relationship herself, she keeps wondering if she truly is the best fit for him?? Like she wants him to be the happiest he can be, so she treats him with care and love (and is extremely clingy, but she’s always like that), but she keeps wondering if he could be happier. And if so, then with whom?

And then she ends of saying stupid stuff she didn’t think of the deeper implications of. She’s too awkwardly honest!!!! But she just wants him to be happy, that’s it!!!!! 😭😭

I cannot wait for the next part!!! I LOVE THIS GATHERING OF OCS AND YUUS TOO MUCH now that i got jackiyuu out of my system, i’d love to draw kiyuu interacting w the other characters!!

Tahseen Starving Children Call for Your Support Amid Crises

Hello Dear

My name is Tahseen Alkhazendar from Gaza City - Tal-Alhawa Area . As you are reading my message, my wife, 3 little children, and I are sitting in the north of Gaza City, starving with no food, water, or money. Every morning, my wife and I feel heart broken and disabled, when our children wake up asking us for food which we don't have and unable to provide to them at this time in Gaza.

Before October 7th, I was a successful business man who owned a driving school and graduated from the business management school. I worked hard to secure a decent and happy life to my family, and did my best to raise my children with dignity, pride, and respect. However, once the aggression started on Gaza, we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind. I struggle every single day to secure 1 single meal for my children. Specially my older son, Ibrahim, who suffers from the Celiac disease and needs a special food which I am unable to find in Gaza at this current time.

Unfortunately everything I owned is completely lost after my house and business got bombed and destroyed. We are currently suffering slow death in Gaza, sharing a small apartment with other families and living a devastating life.

It would mean so much if you could take a look at my GoFundMe and donate for my family🙏. By sharing and donating, you are helping me, my wife, and 3 children to survive the ravages of famine and genocide. You will give us hope to rebuild our home, and reclaim some of the life which was stolen from us.

Please donate and share/replog with others 🙏 🥺🙏.
