I Dont Tend To Read WIPs For This Reason, But When I Do It's Never Surrender

*Holds him gently*

Ive said this on another post, but Elwin was also someone who backed her search for her bio parents. When she mentioned that she had a right to know to Forkle, Elwin said "she definitely does." I think it would help her feel better that Elwin WANTED her to know, wanted to be part of her life like a good father would. It would definitely be a step up from Oralie's reaction.

If Elwin is Sophie’s dad can I at least pray she doesn’t feel betrayed? I mean Elwin being her father wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. He has been with her since day one and has been nothing but a listening ear. Yes, him being revealed as her father would make things sticky but I don’t think Sophie would be appalled by the idea. I know people have been saying that she would be angry, and she would have every right to be. But at the same time if it is revealed I don’t think it’ll be that bad… Oralie being Sophie’s biological mom was a lot. The counselors have been against Sophie since the beginning and have made decisions to harm her and her friends constantly. Of course she’s going to be mad because she found out her mother was on the counselor that had been harassing her. But it wasn’t just that it was how Oralie handled it when it was revealed. She kept treating Sophie like she was fragile and shouting “it was the only way for me to have a kid”… like come on Oralie.

If Elwin is revealed that he’s her biological father I know 100% he would take accountability. Something that Oralie could NOT do when it was revealed. He cares for Sophie deeply and would not want her to be hurt so he would take accountability. He would be honest and he wouldn’t lie about anything when it was out. Elwin has always been a man of his word and that’s what i appreciate about him. Not to mention, yes he treats Sophie as a child because she is, but he also treats her as a person with her own life. He wants her to make good decisions and fight for what she wants. He wouldn’t see him having Sophie as his only way to start a family. Elwin would love her as his child not because she’s the moonlark but because she is who she is. He’s constantly proud of her for handling everything even though he knows it’s unfair. He states it in his doctors notes in Unlocked. He has always been on Sophie’s side. When she was exiled and she ran to him for help he was on her side. He fought for her and had hope for her. I don’t think she would be appalled about the fact he would be her dad. I think she would be relieved that it’s not a crazy person.

Would it be disappointing for some readers? Yes. It sure would mess up the headcanon of wanting Elwin to adopt Keefe. (Cuz that would make them kinda siblings… but Keefe can just stay an orphan ngl. I’m joking. I’ll make a new headcanon later.) Anyway- long story short, I don’t think Elwin being Sophie’s dad would be as bad as people say it would be. Not to mention I honestly don’t believe that Sophie would hate Elwin. She might be a little betrayed but come on it’s Sophie guys.

Mild Curious Village spoilers under the cut

I'd like to add that someone harming Luke or Flora would push him over the edge. I'm sure he would for Katrielle or Alfendi when they were younger, or Emmy if she was in that situation, but really I've only seen them when they are old enough to defend themselves, so I can't say. And it wouldn't be in a controlled way, which I think he would do in defense of himself or others, especially innocents. It would be in a you-have-hurt-the-child-in-my-care way. Flora is alone in terms of human relatives, and Luke is usually FAR from home, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a papa bear instinct specifically for his charges.

There's a fanfic that takes place during the Ace Attorney crossover game where Layton rages. Spoilers for the game, but if you don't care, I didn't have too hard of a time following: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49064023

It is finished and very well written, but heed the tags and take care of yourself as always.

Sometimes I like to think about what it would take to make Professor Layton ever hit someone. Like how far does he need to be pushed? Or would he never at all?

Wonderful story, thank you!

What's a Coup - A short Descendants Fic

“The Queen of Hearts has declared a coup at Auradon Prep.”

The news made the room pause. Everyone turned and looked up at the attendant, holding a tablet with the information that had just come in. Then, slowly, everyone turned their attention to the man in the blue suit in the center of the room, who was currently invested in a card game spread in between all the inhabitants.

King Ben slipped the final UNO card of his hand into his suit pocket. “A coup?” he repeated.

“Yes, your majesty.”

Ben thought about that for a moment, then said. “Huh. She’s not doing very well.”

“Emotionally, or at the coup?” Evie asked.

“Both?” Jay asked.

“Obviously both,” Ben said. “But what I meant was-“ He stood, then began to pat himself down. Pocket one, pocket two, inside his jacket, up his arms. “Yes, sorry, just checking. I’m still here. Many miles away. So if she’s organizing a coup… she’s doing very badly.”

He sat back down. Evie, Mal, and Jay were chuckling, though Belle and Adam didn’t seem too reassured.

“She’s taken over Auradon Prep,” the attendant said. “About sixty people are barricaded in the courtyard. King Charming managed to break in, but is now trapped in there. Rumors have it that the Queen of Hearts is planning on executing Queen Ella.”

“Sixty people?” Evie asked.

Ben put his fingertips together. “So, we have a hostage situation. Not a coup.”

“She’s calling it a coup.”

“Then she’s an idiot. A coup is when you overthrow the government. She’s got one school. That’s like going to your local grocery store, barricading the doors, and declaring yourself the mayor.” Ben paused a moment to remove his final card from his jacket. “By the way, I was just about to win. Since I have to bow out-“ He threw down a wild card on top of a red seven. “I’m claiming victory now.”

“That’s not how it works!” Mal said from his left side. “I was next.”

“And what could you have played that would have stopped me?” Ben asked. “You don’t have any +2 cards.”

Mal grumbled in aquisence, and threw her last three cards down. Everyone else dropped their hands too. Jay, who had been placed in the unfortunate position of being after Ben in the lineup, looked particularly excited to drop the twenty-seven cards he’d been gifted.

“Has she got any military besides her cards?” Ben asked, taking the tablet from the attendant.

“Well, the cards can summon military personnel-“

“Yes, I’m aware of her abilities with cards. That’s why I asked if she had them.” Ben paused in flipping through the tablet to point at Mal across the room. The expression on his face was almost suspicious. The attendant followed Ben’s gaze only to see Mal mimic the expression and action, so the two were pointing at each other as if stuck in the spiderman meme. Ben’s fake suspicion cracked after a few seconds, and then he turned his point to the ground in a silent “Get over here.”

“I’m not following why you aren’t alarmed by this,” Adam said. “Why is this not a coup?”

“I am alarmed by it,” Ben said, though his tone was more nonchalant than one would expect. “Sixty people are being held hostage. But I’m putting the issue in perspective. Sixty people, out of a country of 300,000, and all contained in one tiny courtyard by a woman whose home is now undefended.”

“That doesn’t look like sixty,” Mal said, peering over his shoulder. “Maybe… forty?”

“Of course, we need to act quickly to return them to their homes and families-“

“And make sure Cinderella doesn’t die.”

“Exactly. But like I said before, a coup is when the government is taken over. And the government-“ Ben spread his arm at an angle, mockingly presenting himself and Mal to the room. “-is right here, and we are fine. So she is not doing very well at executing her coup.” He examined the tablet further. “She could have at least attempted to lay siege to my castle.”

“The castle isn’t the government either.”

“Yes, but it’s better than our high school.”

“Why not send part of the army to occupy Wonderland? Show her what a proper coup is?”

“Well, two wrongs don’t make a right, but it could be better in the long run. I have a feeling that Wonderland citizens will welcome our troops.” Ben switched off the livestream. “Let’s do that. Have Lonnie take command and lead soldiers in. Once that’s done, we’ll see if the Queen of Hearts will be willing to barter for her home territory. And while that’s going on, put some soldiers around Auradon Prep and arm them with ranged weapons. A sniper team in case any of them try to leave Auradon Prep. I want them contained there. The Queen of Hearts uses her cards to attack, but she’s only got fifty-two and has to take the time to throw them. Not to say she’s not fast. Warn the army to not make the same mistake Fairy Godmother did in waiting to use the full phrase.”

“And Cinderella?”

“Where are the rest of Uma’s pirates?” Ben asked. “Send in the VK’s.” He handed her the tablet. “Former villains fight against villains best. And they listen to you more, so-“

“Harry Hook likes you more than me.”

“An exception to the general rule. Can I leave this in your hands?”

Mal laughed in response and nodded. Ben pulled his phone out to contact Lonnie, when a thought struck him. He turned to the attendant. “One more thing,” he said.

“Yes, your majesty?”

Ben walked over to where his parents sat and put his hands over Belle’s ears. “If she does decide to siege my castle, tell her to aim for those awful statues on the roof.”

Belle swatted his arm, but the tension was broken. Ben left laughing to phone Lonnie.

Thank you for the apology. I appreciate it. On review, I think what got lost in translation was how I was thinking about nuclear warfare would turn out. My primary source was what happened in the American Cold War, where neither the U.S. nor USSR were willing to deploy nuclear weapons at risk of decimating the human population. I made the assumption that elves in their sense of superiority would think humans are too stupid/impulsive to hold themselves back as such. Therefore, the Council would give them the tech with the assumption that humans would eradicate themselves. Does that make a little more sense? As you can tell, sometimes it makes more sense in my head and less so out loud...

Do you have a source for the scientist thing? Because from what I've read, one of the scientists was an Austrian Jew, so I want to figure this out.

Shannon did not think it through when she said elves gave humans technology to build atomic bombs. Why? Because the Nazis... YES THE GOD DAMN NAZIS were the first people to start developing it. meaning the elves gave the Nazi's the tools to start developing it willingly

Eccentric creative genius with a big heart. That heart is big enough to include those who would be considered outcasts or not normal by mainstream culture.
