Christmas baking
Christmas imagine #1 - baking with the pack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your name: submit What is this?
*Your POV*
Everyone in the pack knew you had amazing baking skills, so it was no surprise when they all turned up at your house to do Christmas baking with your help.
The first struggle was designating the roles to each person. There was a lot of arguing and “but I want to do the mixing!” “Well Y/N said you're doing the rolling so get over it”. Eventually you managed to get them sorted out with Scott and Lydia doing the weighing/measuring, Kira and Malia doing the mixing, Stiles doing the rolling and cutting, Liam on oven duty and you on supervision.
You found a Christmas cookie recipe in a cookbook on the shelf and everyone agreed to make them. Since there was seven of you, you had to change the amount of each ingredient you needed. Luckily, Lydia and Stiles figured it out in about a minute and Lydia and Scott started measuring out the ingredients, passing them to Kira and Malia. You quickly got Liam to preheat the oven before you started instructing Kira and Malia on which things to mix with which and how to mix them. You gave Stiles the cookie cutters and the rolling pin and a pot of flour to spread on the counter and the rolling pin. You found a baking tray and baking paper and lined the tray, ready for the cookies.
Ten stressful and messy minutes later, the cookies were ready to go in to the oven and the oven door closed with a slam. You glanced around the room and saw the mess that had been made.
You sighed, “This is going to be fun to clean up.” The rest of the pack looked around, only just noticing their surroundings.
“Ok, here's how we’re going to do it. Liam and Kira, you're on washing duty. Stiles and Malia, you're on drying and Scott, you're on putting away. Everyone got it?” There were nods and murmurs of agreement in response and everyone set to work. After a couple of minutes everyone found a good system that made the washing up go faster and it was finished within five minutes.
You glanced at the timer and saw that it still had a couple of minutes to go. An idea popped in to your head. “Who wants hot chocolate with marshmallows?” There was a chorus of “Me!” and excited teenagers. You told them all to go in to the lounge except for Liam who stayed and helped you with the hot chocolates. When they were ready the others came racing in, grabbing at the drinks. There was a happy sigh from everyone as the warm liquid touched their lips and there was a comfortable silence as everyone drank happily.
It was disturbed by a loud ringing sound from the timer signalling that the cookies were ready. You got your oven gloves and opened the over door, pulling out the tray and putting it on the counter. The smell of cinnamon and other spices wafted through the air as you transferred the cookies on to a cooling rack. Lydia picked up one of the cookies, blew on it gently to cool it down and took a bite out of it. Everyone watched in suspense as she chewed it before a grin spread across her face.
“They're really good!” She remarked, taking another bite. This made everyone grab a cookie and try one for themselves, noises of approval sounding from them all.
“Merry nearly Christmas guys.” You laughed and got happy grins in response as the pack munched on cookies and drank hot chocolate.
Stilinski family present
Christmas imagine #2 - Stilinski family present ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Your POV* You woke up to a violent burst of light flooding through your curtains. You groggily rub your eyes as you sit up and find your brother Stiles pulling your curtains open and singing Christmas songs (horribly out of tune, more like wailing really). “GET UP LAZYHEAD IT’S CHRISTMAS!” He yelled as he ripped your blankets off causing you to curl up in a ball to stay warm. “Stiles it’s only 3rd December. Christmas isn't for another 22 days.” Stiles rolled his eyes. “Well that doesn't mean we can't get in the Christmas spirit now, you damn Scrooge.” “I am not Scrooge you nerd, I love Christmas. Just not at half past eight in the morning.” You retorted, glancing at the clock on your bedside table. Stiles raised his eyebrow and glanced at you. “I have hot chocolate downstairs with marshmallows and cookies.” You shot out of bed and quickly put on your dressing gown and slippers. You made your way towards the door, grabbing Stiles by the arm and pulling him with you. When you got into the kitchen, as promised, you found a plate of cinnamon cookies and a steaming mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows bobbing gently on the surface. You leant over the counter and pulled the mug towards you, wrapping your hands around it and blowing on it to cool it down. You sat on a stool and soon Stiles came and sat next to you, his Star Wars mug in his hand. You say there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before you broke it. “What are you getting Dad for Christmas?” Stiles sighed gently. “I'm not sure. I swear it's never usually this hard, but I can't seem to find the right thing.” You nodded and there was another silence, both of you thinking about what gift your dad would like. An idea popped in to your head. “Hey Stiles?” He looked up. “Yeah?” “You know Dad has been wanting to go on a date with Lydia’s mum for a while, but keeps getting interrupted.” “Yeah… Where's this going?” He questioned, tilting his head. “Why don't we plan a date for them. It'll be a good distraction from all the crazy stuff happening, and it would be the perfect present for him.” Stiles though for a moment, considering the idea, before a grin slide on to his face. “That's a great idea.” You smile. “I know. I have them from time to time.” For the next couple of days you and Stiles worked on the perfect date for your Dad, choosing restaurants, checking the weather forecast and every other detail, until you were happy with your plan. You texted Lydia, who was helping you, and told her to get her mum ready and to meet you and Stiles in an hour. You both approached your dad and he raised an eyebrow when he saw the looks on your faces. “What? What have you done this time?” You and Stiles grinned at each other. “Nothing this time. In fact, it's an early Christmas present for you.” He leant back in his chair. “Go on…” “Well we know how much you want to go on a date with Lydia’s mum.” You started. “So we planned it for you. You have under an hour to get ready.” Stiles finished. “Go on. Go get changed!” You ushered your dad towards the stairs. Half an hour later he came back down, a fresh shirt and tie on with a jacket and trousers. You smiled. “You look great Dad.” He smiled nervously. “You think so?” You nodded and Stiles appeared from in the lounge. He looked at your dad and gave him a thumbs up, a grin on his face. Your dad smiled. “Thanks you guys. This is great.” You grinned and pulled him in to a hug, Stiles joining a few seconds after. “Merry Christmas Dad.” You whispered happily as the three of you stood in the corridor in a group hug.
Out of the dark - Isaac Lahey
Your name: submit What is this?
Everyone has good days where everything goes in your favour and anything that could go wrong doesn’t. Then there’s the bad days, where everything that could go wrong does go wrong. The McCall pack from Beacon Hills were definitely having a bad day, in fact they were having a bad week. With the new threats from the Alpha pack and the mysterious Darach, there was no break for the group of teenagers.
This bad week got progressively worse, so by the end of the week there was little hope left. The worst few days were when the pack were lured into a trap by the Alpha pack and they were being held captive in some sort of vault. Every so often one of the alphas would come in to check they were still there and make occasional threats.
On the last day of them being held captive, the pack knew something was going to happen when the entire alpha pack, minus Deucalion, came in with claws out and smirks on their faces. The lack of food and water and the constant supply of wolfsbane had caused the McCall pack to become tired and unable to put up a strong fight, as well as lacking the motivation to do so. The alphas knew this and came to take advantage of the fact that they were easy targets. As the alphas drew nearer, all the McCall pack could do was wait for the attack and hope that it would be over quickly, trying to shield themselves as best they could and finding a last comfort in each other.
The attack never came, causing the pack to look up. There was a bright light surrounding Y/N, spiralling up into the sky, her eyes closed and her feet lifted off the ground. Her hands were raised and she was muttering words in a strange language. Her eyes snapped open and a bright light came out of each of them, consuming the alphas, her chant ending as she thrust her hands towards them. The pack shielded their eyes from the light and waited for it to die down.
When the light faded away they looked up and saw Y/N hovering over the unconscious bodies of the alphas. There was still a dull glow around Y/N’s body which somehow reenergised the McCall pack.
“Y/N?” Scott called out cautiously. She looked over in their direction before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she started falling to the ground. Isaac was the first to react and he dashed forwards to catch her, reaching her just before her body hit the ground. The others quickly joined him, surrounding Y/N as she lay unconscious in Isaac’s arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the light. She pushed herself up so she was leaning on her elbows and rubbed her eyes. There was no one in the room with her, but she could hear voices downstairs. Slowly, she stood up and shuffled over to the door, pushing it open. She made her way down the stairs, holding on to the rail to support herself.
When she got downstairs she saw the others sitting around a table with drinks in their hands. She leaned against the door frame and smiled. Allison was sitting opposite the door so she was the first one to see Y/N. She quickly put her cup down and scrambled out of her chair, getting the attention of the others.
“Y/N!” She ran over to her and pulled her into a tight hug. Y/N laughed and hugged her as the others quickly made their way over. Scott and Stiles hugged her as well, with Lydia having a similar reaction to Allison. Isaac was last and he made eye contact with Y/N, a blank expression on his face. She raised one eyebrow and Isaac quickly pulled her into a tight embrace, his chin resting on the top of her head, her face buried in his chest. The rest of the pack quietly left the room as the two of them stood there in silence.
“How did you do that thing back with the alphas?” Isaac asked softly, without releasing Y/N from his embrace. She lifted her face to look him in the eyes.
“I don’t know. I don’t remember much. I just remember the alphas coming in, then it all went fuzzy.” She replied honestly, still feeling tired from whatever occurred back in the vault.
“Well, whatever it was, I’m glad it happened when it did. Just don’t ever scare me like that again.” His words caused Y/N to pull back, confusion written across her face.
“What did I do to scare you?”
“After the thing where you were floating with the light, you fell out of the sky and almost hit the ground. I almost didn’t reach you in time, and the thought of that terrifies me.” Isaac replied, the memory replaying in his head. “Then you weren’t responding and none of us knew what to do. I felt so helpless.”
Y/N looked at him with with gentle eyes, her hand moving up to his face.
“Isaac, I know that whatever happens to me, you’ll always be there to save me. And I’ll always be there to save you, so you don’t need to be scared. Besides, I’m a tough girl, I’m not gonna let a group of big-headed werewolves get rid of me.” She smiled and Isaac pulled her in to another hug, tears gathering in the corner of his eyes. As they stood there in their loving embrace, they marked the journey. The journey out of the dark.
Hospital reunion - Stiles Stilinski
Your name: submit What is this?
The tension in the pack had been increasing ever since the dread doctors appeared, along with Theo and the chimeras started being created. The person it had the biggest toll on was definitely Stiles, who was slowly losing his friends and even his girlfriend, Y/N. The two of them had been a couple for two years and were almost inseparable, but after a recent argument that ended in Stiles storming out, he was sure that she would never want to see him again. Y/N on the other hand, thought Stiles was angry at her and tried to give him space.
Granted, their argument was hurtful to both of them, Y/N most definitely did not hate Stiles Stilinski, she absolutely adored him. There were many things that Y/N loved about Stiles, from his sense of humour to his nerdiness and his loyalty to his friends. When it came down to it, there was no one Y/N trusted more and trusted him with her life, even though he was just a human, like her.
So when Stiles got injured in a fight and was rushed to hospital, Y/N was right by his side the entire time, not even leaving him when he was stable but unconscious. After hours of sitting and watching his sleeping figure (which wasn’t nearly as creepy as it sounds), Y/N felt her eyes slowly closing as she too was pulled into the dark embrace of sleep.
***
When Stiles woke up, he slowly sat up, bringing his hands up to rub his head and he noticed a figure sitting in the chair beside him.
“Dad!” He gently shook his father’s shoulders and watched as he woke up and saw Stiles was awake, quickly pulling him into a hug. When he pulled back, the sheriff put his hands on his son’s shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
“What happened between you and Y/N?” This made Stiles flinch slightly before looking down at his hands that were lying by his side again.
“I don’t wanna talk about it.” Stiles mumbled, playing with his fingers
“C’mon Stiles, what happened?”
He looked at his dad and sighed before telling him.
“I messed up dad. Y/N and I, we had a fight and now I’m pretty sure she hates me.” A few tears gathered in the corners of his eyes as he rubbed his forehead with his fingers, looking down at his lap. His dad smiled softly at him.
“If she hated you, why has she been with you the entire time you were in the hospital?” A look of surprise appeared on Stiles’ face, his eyes lighting up.
“Y/N was here?” The sheriff chuckled and ruffled his son’s hair.
“She still is.” He pointed to the end of the bed where Y/N’s sleeping figure lay, one arm stretched towards where she had been holding Stiles’ hand. As if that was her cue, Y/N stirred, her eyes slowly opening as she rubbed her face with her hand. The sheriff stood up and patted his son on the arm.
“I’m gonna give the two of you some time alone. I’ll be back later.” He left the room and Stiles turned towards his girlfriend who was now standing up and watching him. She smiled at him and suddenly all of his pent up emotions came out, tears rolling down his cheeks as she quickly made her way over to him and pulled him in to a loving embrace. He buried his face in her shoulder, whispering “I’m sorry” over and over as she ran her fingers through his hair, resting her head on his.
Y/N pulled out of the hug to lie down on top of the bed next to Stiles, him wrapping his arms around her, facing each other before Y/N kissed him in the forehead and closed her eyes gently. Stiles smiled lovingly, pulling her slightly closer to him before closing his eyes too. Slowly they fell asleep, arms around each other, foreheads touching, a state of calm passing over them and their hearts beating slowly in time.

So... Does anyone else's mum threaten them with a baseball bat because they "never asked for a retard of a child" whilst your dad watches along with your siblings as they just smile at you, or do have a normal family?
Just saying...
Please do not interact unless you have experienced any form of trauma or abuse and/or experience mental illness, especially with maladaptive daydreaming.
I do not want people re-blogging or commenting on posts (mainly) about MaDD saying stuff like "omg, this is so me because I like to pretend ___ every once in a while". Or "oh, I'm just so imaginative like this".
Like, shut up. Shut up. It's not fun living like this. It hurts. Especially after going on for aeons thinking the daydreams were helping, but I get to a point of realising that it's not, and it's not okay. I'm not okay.
Omg! Twinning!!!!
Might just fucking end it (or try to, again). I don't have anyone to stay alive for anymore and they clearly didn't need me to begin with. I'm such an idiot to think I could ever be wanted, I'm completely alone again, there's nothing for me here
Tf do you mean I'm "not in control"?? I just told myself that I'd cut my thighs tomorrow because I did my arms today and now I'm too tired. That's being in full control if you ask me 😤

Did Edolon become Seinru? Well, yes. But actually no. (Edolon Character Analysis)
Content warning: Discussion of abuse, manipulation, cults, mentions of gore, and a panel of drawn grotesque injury near the end
Spoiler warning: Snowbound Blood Volume 12.
Full analysis under the cut
In discussions of Edolon, something that people have found confusing is his seemingly drastic change from what we’ve seen of him pre sacrifice of Seinru and post sacrifice of Seinru. Before Snowbound Blood Vol. 12 came out, this was especially the case.
From what we’ve seen of Edolon pre-ritual is a much more dependent and less confident person in comparison to those traits basically inverting post ritual. This paired with some concerning dialogue and actions pertaining to “becoming Seinru” has led to some… worrying conclusions.
First, let's quickly go over some observations that have caused confusion or concern in some readers. Some of these will be elaborated on later.
Seinru saying to Edolon before their death, “As long as you're still here, I'll never truly be gone.”
After Seinrus death, Edolons had a drastic change in character that involved picking up many of Seinrus traits.
Edolons severed hand was replaced with Seinrus hand.
So, did Edolon become Seinru? What does that even mean? Did Seinru really possess him?
Well, I find the theory that Seinru possessed Edolon after the ritual interesting because while it wouldn't make much sense character writing wise, it gives a good introspective into people's perception of Edolon. Rather than analyzing why Edolon changed so drastically, many people opt for a more ''easy to understand'' theory. Along with this, the theory basically dissolves Edolon of any blame and just goes for the belief that “Seinru possessed him because they’re evil and Edolon has done nothing wrong” which is just a total butchering of both of their characters.
In order to understand why Edolon changed so drastically, we have to analyze the way he was pre-ritual, leading up to the ritual, post-ritual and factors that would impact why he changed in the way he did.
As said before, prior to the ritual, Edolon showed less confidence and a dependency on Seinru. In many moments both his reliance on Seinru and his nervousness is shown,
A gaunt man steps from the shadows and slides up next to Seinru. They give his hand a gentle squeeze before disappearing behind the altar. As he nervously leans forwards(...)
Described as nervous, as well as going straight to Seinrus side.
SEINRU: Dolo. Out of the corner of your eye, Seinru steps forward, taking Edolon's hand in hers. She squeezes it, gently.
Seinru senses his nervousness and reassures him, giving him courage.
Edolon approaches you, taking Seinru's place as they retreat into the sacrificial slab's gloom. Where Seinru knelt beside you, Edolon tries to loom. It only emphasizes his stoop. You laugh. To your displeasure, so does Pozzol. (...) Edolon glances in Pozzol's direction. His eyes drift instinctively to the altar, to the rim of darkness in the vague outline of Seinru. SEINRU: This is your moment. SEINRU: Everything, from here to obliteration, belongs to you..
Upon being laughed at by Pozzol for being unable to replicate Seinru, he looks at Seinru for reassurance, once again showing his dependency on him.
Along with this, Edolon isn’t confident that he’ll be capable of taking her place as the highest ranking member of the cult,
EDOLON: i'm just not convinced i have what it takes. EDOLON: i'm not like you. EDOLON: i'm still afraid. i'll still feel the pain, even when you don't. EDOLON: what if i can't do any of it? EDOLON: then all i'll have accomplished is adding more misery to my life. SEINRU: That's not going to happen. EDOLON: and this is not a role i was meant to play.
While I absolutely do not doubt that Edolon was able to take action without Seinrus guidance pre-ritual (as shown in his pestering of Serpaz being something that has been going on for sweeps before the sacrifice), these quotes show that he wasn’t as confident as in the present.
Though post-ritual - without Seinru there to guide him - Edolon is much more confident and capable of his role in the cult. This confidence only ramps up to extremes as he both unlocks his alchemic potential and ESPECIALLY as the events of Incursion take place. I don’t think analyzing quotes would do this change justice. Just look at any of his actions he takes to progress the game, crash an inauguration and speak without faltering while the entire world watches.
So what does this mean for Edolon? How did he become so much more confident after the death of Seinru?
In order to understand why Edolon responded this way to the death of someone he loves, you have to remember that this is Edolon. There are many factors of his life and upbringing that change the way that he responds to trauma. Due to the severe brainwashing from both Seinru and the cult, as well as the severe abuse he faced in his childhood, the way he reacts to the traumatic event of losing his partner is much different than a majority of the people faced with this kind of loss.
Rather than reacting with anger, fear, depression, numbness, or many of the other common reactions to the death of a loved one, he reacted in the way that Seinru manipulated him into reacting. Before their death, Seinru told Edolon what they wanted from him after death, and Edolon in turn became what they wanted him to become. He wanted to accept the gift and chance to grow that Seinru had told him she was dying for so that he wouldn't let her down.
Along with this, Edolon is driven by his need for revenge against Corporate. After being abused by The Executive for not being able to live up to his expectations and later abandoned by Corporate because of this, his goal became to take down Corporate as a whole. In order to enact his plan, he needs to go through with the events of Incursion without faltering because of Seinrus death.
From these factors, we can see that Seinrus words have a very strong impact on Edolon. This comes from both Edolons love for her, as well as the fact she’s manipulating him into going through with the ritual by saying exactly what he needs to hear.
With this context, the way that Seinrus words impact Edolon after her death becomes more clear.
The most important scene that shows Seinrus impact on Edolon and Edolons fear of disappointing Seinru is their conversation before her sacrifice.
EDOLON: and i wouldn't ever wish to disappoint you, either. EDOLON: but there's still a part of me that feels like i can't do it on my own. EDOLON: i need you, sen.
We can see Edolon admit directly that he doesn’t want to disappoint Seinru, something that shows the importance of their words on him.
SEINRU: You're not as powerless as you were before. And you'll certainly be even less so, once you realize all of that wonderful potential you have tucked away. SEINRU: You're capable of achieving great things on your own, despite how you've been made to feel in the past.
In this, Seinru reminds Edolon that despite the abuse he faced, he’s capable of achieving great things without the harsh guidance of The Executive telling him everything he’s doing is wrong and fixing it for him. Along with this, Seinru reminds Edolon that his upcoming unlocking of his alchemy will give him the strength to be a huge threat against Corporate. These statements reassure his fears about not being strong enough without him.
SEINRU: I want you to be the one to grow from this. SEINRU: I want you to be rewarded for everything you've been forced through in your life. SEINRU: You've come so far, Dolo. SEINRU: And you've helped me tremendously in our time together, don't you forget that. SEINRU: I only want to help you see in yourself what everyone else couldn't. SEINRU: I just knew you'd do great things the very moment I met you, you know. SEINRU: All of this is for you. SEINRU: So please, don't reject this gift. Don't let me down, now of all times.
Most, if not all, the words Seinru says during this conversation is manipulation, but this is one of the many passages where it's the most glaring. In this, Seinru guilt trips Edolon into going through with the ritual so that they get what they want.
(There’s a lot more to be said about their relationship and this conversation, but it gets so convoluted so quickly so I’m sticking to very surface level analysis for this last passage. Seinru and Edolons relationship is a HUGE analysis for another day that might not even be finished until we have more information on the two.)
So, in a way, Edolon did become Seinru. Not because of possession, but because of a variety of factors that impacted and influenced the way that he reacted to the trauma of sacrificing and losing Seinru.
The more the story progresses, the more glaring the changes to his character will become. Incursion was a huge turning point for Edolon as a character as it showed drastic changes to his character and solidified him as an actual threat against the world.
We can already see these changes in the comic. For example, his reaction to seeing Seinrus corpse before and after Incursion.
The timid and insecure person he was before was a version of him that existed. It’s shown in the comic that when alone it is a part of himself that slips out (see: him putting this “mask” on after he runs into someone on page 1107). But after Incursion, it is now erased as he goes beyond filling in for the role of Seinru. He is no longer playing the part, he has become the part.
A lot of what this analysis boils down to is what Edolon becoming Seinru represents: the cycle of abuse. The cycle of abuse in this case specifically is in reference to victims of abuse becoming their abusers due to not healing from the trauma of their abuse. Many victims of abuse who have not healed will subconsciously inherit the traits of their abuser and continue to perpetuate them through relationships of any kind, thus creating new victims. If this cycle is not broken, it will never stop.
Because of this, Seinru will always be a part of Edolon; mentally and physically.
On Edolons Incursion outfit, we can even see her blood color and center of her sigil - a diamond - pressed close to Edolons heart and placed throughout the outfit.
The fact that Edolon and Seinru were bonded before Seinrus death also represents this. Edolon will never not feel the pain of losing Seinru as the withdrawals continue for the rest of his life. On top of this, Edolon literally replaced his own hand with her own. She quite literally ingrained herself to his core.
Even Edolons witty one liners and :) emoticons come from Seinru.
And while Edolon has been manipulating people for a long time, this manipulation has only become more like Seinrus as he subconsciously replicates the manipulation he went through.
In one scene, we can literally see him manipulating Calder while typing with Seinrus hand.
Not to mention, “Let's get you the respect you rightfully deserve.” sounds awfully a lot like something Seinru would say to manipulate Edolon. Maybe something like, “I want you to be rewarded for everything you've been forced through in your life.”?
I think to wrap this up, I’ll end this with the quote that started it all:
“As long as you're still here, I'll never truly be gone.”
