You know what?? I think William was right. Like… 100% right.
He set up the assassination at the Summit to 1) secure better outcomes for his house including more land 2) stop money from being fed into Close Knit and 3) take some form of revenge for what happened to Vincent, Sam, and Lovely during the Inversion (something he has the right to do under Senguine Primero).
He didn’t tell Vincent. He didn’t tell Sam. He made their lives very stressful before, during, and after the Summit. I don’t think he chose to keep them in the dark lightly. He needed their reactions to be genuine because Sam and Vincent couldn’t handle acting surprised, not on top of their own moral superiority about the whole thing. I in fact think he was right to lie to them. They wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
Sam and Vincent are young and their reactions of those of young men. They haven’t lived a full human lifetime, let alone multiple. I think William made the decision that a 500 year old person would make. Permanent, tactical, decisive. You don’t get to be 500 years old by fucking around and making the kind choices. I think we should have all (Sam and Vincent included) understood before this, on some level, that William must have been capable of cruelty, otherwise he wouldn’t be alive.
I think William made an unsavory decision, the sort of decision that lets 500 year old lineages survive. I think Vincent is going to be faced with one of those decisions early into his time running his own house and won’t be able to make it. And I think he’s going to suffer greatly for that.
Anyway I’m a William apologist and I will not be shamed for it.
Ehehheheheheg
Highschool David wasn't too involved with school clubs but he did play baseball all four years and was a percussionist in the schools band
Highschool David did however have an after school job at Max's Rustic Pizza (Asher 100% took advantage of the friend's and family discount )
Highschool David was definitely a more of a math guy and was in honors classes for everything in Math and Science.
Highschool David was also the first of the pack to get his licence so Gabe made sure to help get him a car with enough seats so David could do a carpool with the other pack kids
Highschool David always made sure to pack a extra snack because he noticed a particular pack member only got the bare minimum during lunch
Highschool Asher carried all of his textbooks in his bag and hardly ever used his locker
Highschool Asher originally joined theater as a joke his freshman year but ended up loving it so much that he continued for every play/musical
Highschool Asher passed most of his classes just by the skin of his teeth and often did his homework with David and Milo
Highschool Asher failed his permit test twice before finally getting it. His car was handed down to him by his sister so it had flower decals on the back bumper. He loved that car.
Highschool Asher always got a little too into spirit week themes going as far to buy costumes for some of them
Highschool Milo did both Soccer and Wrestling in high school. The day's he wasn't at practice he was at his afterschool job
Highschool Milo actually got his license before Asher but didn't get a car until after he graduated. His car was a used beater he bought using money he saved up from his job
Highschool Milo would often try to turn down hanging out with his friends because he couldn't afford to spend money on little things like movie tickets but was always dragged out by Asher who already planned on paying for him
Highschool Milo was always worried about his future so he had straight A's and was was in as many honors and AP courses as he could get his hands on
Highschool Milo was in band as an elective and played the Saxophone. He always looked for an excuse to learn jazz songs and loved to surprise his mom with her favorites
Highschool Tank was a year younger than the other three and was actually good friends with a Stealth who they met through being lab partners their freshman year
Highschool Tank didn't do any extracurriculars but liked to hang around and watch their other's sports practices
Highschool Tank often hung around the local skatepark and even taught Asher how to skateboard
Highschool Tank normally kept a low profile but did get suspended one time their sophomore year for punching someone who was making fun of Asher
Highschool Tank who loved getting rides from David as the two of them share a similar taste in music
the seven are not-so-battle ready…
thinking about that scene in mark of athena where they're woken up on the argo II and are all ready to fight in their pajamas and wanted to do my own take on their pjs lol
this is the funniest possible answer ryoko kui could have given to this question
for some reason I really like drawing dragons in forests
perhaps a silly question but are angel and baabe’s unempowered familes invited to the wedding? that’s gotta be a huge covert breach
but imagine the silly hijinks that would ensue
“hey why’s the best man (gender neutral)’s boyfriend sitting under an umbrella? it’s supposed to be clear skies all day”
“oh um he’s just super goth”
“he’s wearing a cowboy hat”
“he’s…y’allternative”
“wtf angel”
I'm finally watching Bittersweet, are y'all proud of me?
