tw: self harm scars

idk, something that's been rattling around in my brain since an anon asked about it. i never could find a full scene to fit it into but oh well.

///

Elphaba brushes a thumb over the scars, the catch of her nails against the rough, raised skin sending shivers down Galinda's spine. She holds her breath on instinct, anxiety tangling in her chest in a way that makes it hard to fill her lungs with air.

"You know," Elphaba starts, eyes still tracing the lines on Galinda's fair skin. "In some ancient Ozian cultures, scars were seen as a badge of honor. A signal to everyone else that the bearer was strong enough to survive something that could've killed them."

Elphaba glances up, her emerald eyes shining as the corners of her lips tilt into the gentlest of smiles. She keeps her gaze locked on Galinda's as she lowers her head to press her lips to the marks.

"I don't think you're disgusting, Galinda," Elphaba whispers, crawling back up the blonde's body to press another kiss to her lips. "I think you're a survivor."

About me

I'm Abhimanyu or Abhi for short. I'm gender fluid and use all pronouns but mainly go by they/he/ze.

I enjoy writing fanfics so if you have any suggestions or ideas for fics I could write you can always ask. Or if you just wanna talk. My main obsession right now is Wicked (I ABSOLUTELY ADORE GELPHIE AND GELPHIE FICS SO MUCH OMG SO IF U EVER WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT MY PAGE IS ALWAYS OPEN), but I also enjoy Percy Jackson, Six of Crows, Hamilton, and the Avengers.

elphaba took these pics btw

Does anyone have any good marauders fanfic recs? I'm trynna find some with desi James, but just any recs are good with me.

i just searched up a show I really like on ao3 and saw that not only is there v few works but also despite there being a character with canon panic attacks and anxiety there's no hurt/comfort fics about it

me rn:

Galinda in her corner of the dorm after spending the whole day with Elphaba ✨ (yes, Elphaba is also in the room)

have you got any james headcannons?

okay a lot of these are also hindu/desi James because 🥺 yeah

James was absolutely a dancer

specifically a bharatanatyam dancer

his parents were like super big on teaching him about all the cultural stuff and James was super active all the time so James being a dancer just,, made sense

also he had adhd

James lowkey idolised his parents and their relationship but for good reason

they were happy and they cared for each other and they were Peak Romance and James knew that's what he wanted one day

James was absolutely warned about the Black family and he was probably given loads of unsolicited advice on staying away from the infamous Sirius Black because he'd be a bad influence

(not by his parents though, Effie and Monty would never judge someone based on who their parents are)

and then he gets on the train and sees this scared little boy in way too formal clothes looking simultaneously terrified and relieved

and James just goes

FRIEND THIS IS FRIEND HI FRIEND HELLO

he's basically just a human shaped golden retriever

and Sirius is really just relieved that he doesn't have to spend the journey with death eaters in training

and they just kinda ramble at each other for ages

until they notice the two boys sitting across the aisle, one of them's half asleep and the other's very intensely playing with a muggle toy

(Peter was obsessed with rubiks cubes, you can fight me on this)

and James is so fucking confused by the lil cube and Peter shows him how to solve it and it's like James' entire fucking world suddenly makes sense because holy fucking shit

and Sirius thinks it's sweet that James is so easily amused and he's also in awe of how clever Peter is

and Remus just looks fondly at these boys who barely know each others names becoming friends so easily

and James definitely has an om pendant on black thread and it keeps catching Remus' eye

so eventually Remus asks about it

and James goes on this wholeee rant about his religion and culture and the food and presents

and he promises to take them all home one day to show them what desi festivals are like

and then they get to hogwarts and it's sorting time

and James knows how stressed Sirius is

so he makes shitty jokes and gets the other two to try and help cheer Sirius up

it doesn't really work but knowing that James is there means more to Sirius than he could ever say

the boys share a dorm obviously and James is,,, surprisingly neat

like you'd expect this whirlwind of an 11 year old to get his shit everywhere but he sorts his clothes into neat piles and he's super careful with his folds and he's got little desk organisers and he spends like half a day just focused on organising his stuff and putting everything away properly

James sees Lily on their first night when she's reading by the fireplace

and his brain is like

FRIEND NEW FRIEND HELLO FRIEND

because sweet little baby just wants to be friends with everyone

he remembers her name from the sorting and he's kinda worried because it's late

so he's like

hey Evans, right? it's getting late, you should probably head to bed soon

and she ends up saying she's homesick, mumbling it, hoping he won't hear because she's a bit embarrassed

he hears, of course

and he sits with her, talking to her about nothing and everything until she finally decides she's ready to go to bed

James gets back to the dorm and Sirius IMMEDIATELY gets on his ass because they're all immature 11 year olds when girls are the worst but also anytime a boy's nice to a girl they just assume he likes her

sooooo we heard you were with a girllllll

it's not like that, she just needed a friend

mmmhmmmm whatever you say potter

the next morning James sees Lily on the way to breakfast

he asks if she slept okay and she says yes and thanks him

and he tells her about what Sirius said because he thinks it's funny and she laughs too

and they start a little inside joke where he asks her out and she says no and they think it's cute and funny

and eventually James has his oh shit moment

because he wasn't meant to catch feelings, it was all just a joke

but then he'd ask her out and she'd roll her eyes and laugh a little

and James melts because holy shit the things he'd give to hear her laugh again

but of course he doesn't tell her because she can't possibly feel the same way right?

enter snivellus

Snape gets all jealous and starts acting up and being a prick

and James is like ??? you did this for what

like he doesn't get it because he doesn't know that Snape's jealous right and he just doesn't get why????

and Remus is like bro,, he fancies Evans but he thinks you fancy Evans so he's being a prick about it

and James and Sirius are like

TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME

and they think it's just harmless pranks at first (which is mostly true)

but Snape gets all whiny and plays the victim card as if he doesn't start shit half the time

and one day James does his usual "oi Evans - you, me, candlelit dinner Saturday night?"

and Lilys like

it's not fucking funny anymore, potter

and James, once again, is very confused

and Remus, once again, has to explain that Lily and Snape are friends and of course she's gonna be pissed off if he complains to her

but James is like

but friend that's my friend don't wanna lose friend

and internally he still kinda really wants her to say yes the next time he asks her out

but of course he doesn't exactly know how to go about keeping his friend

so he tries to carry on with the joke but Lily just gets more pissed off, especially as the pranks continue

James carries on being a great friend though

he's always there for Remus, almost obsessively researching everything he can find about werewolves so he can help

he's extremely protective over Sirius and even tries to help Regulus when he first joins hogwarts

he helps Peter with his homework whenever he needs for as long as he needs (hc borrowed from @join-me-in-the-bog)

he's absolutely the mum friend and he just wants the people he loves to be okay

also we know James is super into quidditch right

so everyone expects him to be the Jock™ right

but one night Peter walks in on him in an empty classroom

the floor's cleared and his ghungroos and footwork are loud but sharp

and James is dancing

and it's amazing and confusing at the same time because it's beautiful but no one really expected that from him

and James catches his eye and he's a little startled but he smiles when he sees it's just wormtail

they sit by the lake that night, just talking

so I suppose you don't want me to tell anyone

tell anyone what?

.... that you dance ??

James is super confused

Peter goes on about how it doesn't really fit people's idea of him, how he's seen as the Dude, the Man that plays Sports and shit

Wormy... I cried over a cat with a pink bow in his hair in the middle of the great hall... I highly doubt anyone thinks I'm a Manly Man

and they just laugh and nothing else matters in that moment

there's definitely more but this post is already long as fuck and brain's decided I'm not allowed anymore words so I might carry on some other time but I hope this was helpful ?? what you were looking for ?? idk, also sorry it took so long 💛

props for possibly my fav comment on AO3 ever

I'm listening to the False Prince audio book right now (major spoilers in this post btw!!!!!!!!) and I'm still in the first chapter but the reader (Charlie McWade) has read most of the narration in a pretty flat tone while giving all the characters wildly performance accents, EXCEPT SAGE, who has a basic American accent just like the narration and so far only has slightly more life injected into him. Conner and Mrs. Turbeldy are both being read in these performative British accents.

If you've read the books then you know that not only are Conner and Turbeldy both Carthyan but SAGE, who is actually Jaron, is ALSO carthyan and spends most of the first book pretending to be Avenian and faking an Avenian accent.

WHICH IMPLIES THAT THE ACCENT OF THE AVENIANS IS JUST AN AMERICAN ACCENT. And the Carthyans are British.

Help??? Is Sage's accent going to change from American to British as the book goes on and he "learns" to fake a Carthyan accent? Is the narration going to change to a British accent at the end when we realize that he's been Carthyan all along?!! Or has he been in the Avenian accent for so long that now he just thinks in an Avenian accent?

Help I know I'm probably reading too much into it but this is insane i can't stop thinking about it, Sage/Jaron's accents and sarcasm play SUCH an important role in the series so it feels SO wrong that all the characters would get essentially Pro Voice Actor Treatment while he gets to be read in a flat American tone regardless of what façade he's putting on at any given time.
