#/ so the words hit her hard

[sistersofsilver]

hello fellow shades. hades 2 nation. free icarus reminder for the night: not only did he burn, he drowned after. maybe it's just my experience with dying via drowning¹ but i think we should play in that particular space more.

melis not the sun, and she's never going to be. she's not the moon beat for beat either. shes the beautiful distorted reflection of the moon on churning powerful waves, shifting, a bright spot in an almost perfect void. and when you fall (and you will fall) its going to hurt, that impact, the water filling your lungs, the weightlessness disorienting, but you look for it, that reflection, that fixed point...

cough. anyway, how we feelin' tonight. we good?

i can’t believe how proud i am of my ghost judgement of solomon ficlet and now it’s up on ao3!

[moonstruckhaze]

during work yesterday I had the thought that Satoko is the more likely sibling to want kids, and then the image of early-to-mid 20s Sasaki hanging out with said kid would not leave my mind...

"nobody is allowed to hurt me but you." abandoned and hated by her family? betrayed by her fiance? literally gives up her heart to a demon and is forced to relive the same week of suffering over and over until the apocalypse comes? raviel casting that all away for gongja. raviel etching the moment of killing her lover into her heart because she needs him to remember her. raviel saying that being saved isn't worth it if her epilogue isn't his.

Gency stuff!

How I imagine a proposal would go

I think it would be really funny it's almost no one knew that Angela and Genji were a couple until they were engaged. People like Cassidy, Lena, rein, (once they joined OverWatch) kiriko and Hanzo would have known and would have known about Genji planning on proposing. But everyone else either never noticed because they weren't very obvious about it, like they didn't do much PDA, and their version of flirting when I'm front of people could easily be mistaken for making fun of each other. Or because they just never picked up on it at all.

Genji probably planned a whole dinner at a restaurant and a whole romantic thing but either in the middle of the dinner right before he was about to ask or right before they left for the dinner and emergency happens and theyre call out to a mission. And once they successfully neutralize the threat and their back on the ship surrounded by their teammates/friends, after Cassidy says something about feeling bad for them that their plans didn't end up happening/got ruined. Genji just goes "you know what screw it", took off his helmet, and proceeds to get down on one knee in front of Angela and give a mini speech proposal that he learned in German just to make it more special(Rein found out genji's plans because he asked if he could help Genji learn to say what he wanted to say I'm German). Angela says yes (even though it was hard to make out through the ugly sobbing) and full on kissed genji as he picks her up and does a cute little spin thing, with everyone on the ship either cheering and celebrating or being in total confusion and shock because they didn't even know the two were together to begin with. So half of them are just jaw dropped, happy but jaw dropped.

For an added little extra bit of drama, Pharah had no idea Genji and mercy were thing and had been a thing for ages now, Angela never told her. And it clicks why mercy did not reciprocate feelings, but still in just such shock that she wasn't told and this is how she found out. She just kind of frozen in place staring blankly at the two with her mouth hanging open.

And back to happy happy, after Genji said screw it Cassidy realized what he was about to do and pulled out his phone or got Lena to pull out hers and made sure to record everything for them.

Additionally this was one of the first times a majority of people in that room had seen genji's face, obviously Hanzo and kiriko had seen his face before same with Angela. But even Cassidy hadnt fully seen his face, as even when in black watch they worked really closely together, if Genji wasn't wearing his metal mask he was still wearing like a surgical mask or something. All the old OverWatch members had only really seen his eyes ,excluding Angela, so with shocking for them but not as much as all the newbies. this was the first time seeing his face at all, haven't even seen his eyes at this point,so it was extra shocking.

Yet another dream of the past, though not exactly a pleasant one. Witness it?

They did not wake peacefully as they had the times before now. Instead, they shot forward with a gasp, immediately reaching for and running their hands over the lightbulb, checking to make sure it was whole. Even the one who listened gasped quietly when they shot awake, clearly aware of the dream.

It took both the one who listened and the light bearer a few moments before they could speak.

“Hey… [Redacted]..? You… saw my dream, right?”

There was a clear tremble to his voice as he answered.

“[I… yes… I did.]”

“It was…”

There’s another long period of silence, neither one sure what to say. It’s the one who listens that finally speaks up.

“[Are you alright..?]”

“…”

“Let’s just go…”

And for a while, not much is clearly seen or heard. But eventually, their voice fades in again, clearly engaged in conversation with someone besides the one who listens.

“These pancakes are so good… thank you so much!!”

“No problem! You looked really hungry.”

“Yeah… I thought this would be my last chance to eat something before I go in the tower.”

“Ah, gotcha. So… I guess pancakes are your favorite food?”

“Mhm! …Well, almost! My favorite food in the world are the special pancakes my mama makes! She likes to pick hazelnuts and grind them up into the batter.”

“Oh wow, that sounds amazing!”

“They TASTE amazing!”

To anyone but the light bearer, the laugh the one listening lets out wouldn’t be heard, but to them, it just widens their smile.

“She always made them when I was feeling sad. Or lonely… or…”

And just like that, they can’t keep the smile on their face, and the laughter from before fades away just as quickly, filled by a silence that they know is filled with concern. They can’t help the tears that come to their eyes, even knowing someone is worried.

“Mama… I really miss her…”

“…I just… I just have a bad feeling all of a sudden!”

The concern from both the person they were speaking to and the one who listens only seems to deepen, but they can’t stop crying.

“Am I… even here to save the world? People have been saying how the sun won’t fix anything! I don’t even know why I’m here… I just wanna see my mama again…”

They don’t fully realize it at the time, but from the one who listens, the sound of muffled sobs are heard. It may be that to him, that particular statement struck… a little close to home.

“Oh, uh…”

The person they were speaking to places a hand on their head, patting it softly to try and calm them down.

“There, there… it’s gonna be okay!”

They look up at him, and he gives a soft smile.

“And… I'm sure you’ll be able to save the world! You’re a tough kid, you managed to get this far already, right?”

“Yeah… but…”

“And you’ll get to go home afterwards, right?”

“Right…”

“…Do you want some more pancakes?”

“It’s okay… I’ll be fine.”

They sit there for a little longer, but as the dream begins to fade, all that can really be heard are the quiet sobs from the one who listens, until even those can no longer be heard.

“You won’t help?”

vs

“I can help you”

And shin looks distraught when the latter is said to her

[spideysatan]

i am on my first rewatch of part two and tell me why im crying all over again??

[leefi]

when you go through all of orv wondering what makes han sooyoung so important, why she's also on the main cover, why she's a part of the trio when she doesn't even show up that often. and then you finish the novel and realize that she is more present any other character in the entire story -- she's been here this whole time, speaking directly to you, on every single page.

[fantastic-mr-corvid]

i love it when shit happens in my life that dredges up old wounds and coincidentally im re-experiencing the media i intrinsically link it to cause then i get to remember exactly why i love it and find it so meaningful all over again. there's a fucking reason ill always say Berserk [& RGU] both came into my life at a perfect fucking time and holy shit they fucking resonated with me so hard and as much as life can suck ass and lovvves kicking me in the balls when ive just recovered from last time i a least get to remember how & why i love something so much.

[tariah23]

If I can be honest, due to over exposure, spoilers, and learning how cheap life is in DM, Falin’s death didn’t make me feel too sad 😭… heavy emphasis on death being this “cheap,” thing…

[ilostyou]

i think we need to talk more about how the lyric “and life will lose all its meaning (for the last time)” is one of taylor’s deepest rawest and most open lines ? ever maybe. it’s basically implying that she knows she’s the problem and she has these awful recurring nightmares of her partner leaving her because they’re essentially. tired of her being her and she just can’t see a reality in which … she’s okay after that. a reality worth anything to her if they really do up and decide to leave

what gets you so much about bonnie dd2?

WOOF okay opened pandora's box here, but also I have NO clue if I'll be able to really... Word it properly? She is sort of just The character that my brain decided to latch onto. May be simple, just be that she's new and therefore unique! But at the same time, I think it's because we see her chance at happiness get ruined. For most of the hero shrines in dd2 (that I have played), we see this constant fall: Paracelsus plays god, Audrey robs her first grave, Dismas robs the carriage, but the story doesn't (as far as I know!) really frame them as being on the... Up. It's this constant downward spiral. Things are getting worse and worse for them.

But, fittingly enough, Bonnie finds that glimmer of hope. She runs away from Saint Martha's, and she finds happiness! She's taken in, she's adopted! She finds new parents! It is very explicit: She is happy and things are looking up.

And then she ruins that. She, by her own hands, kills the people who took her in, and now she is haunted by it. All her trinkets weaken her against Gaunt enemies, where you can find the Woodsman, where everything points to that being her dad, the kindly man that took her in, who she killed. Fell the Tree, Carve the Toy, Protect the Child.

What's the worst is how close she was to happiness, unlike... A lot of the rest of the cast. She was so close to it. But she, like everybody else, ruined it by her own hands. And now here she is. There's no heroic background to her. She doesn't know the ancestor. She doesn't have experience fighting off these eldritch abominations that spew forth from the mountain. But she's there. She's fighting anyways.

MANY months ago, I had a run with a Sunny Disposition Runaway. That team, to this day, has been my absolute favorite, but part of the reason I like her so much is because of that one Runaway. Back when act-outs were a thing, Bonnie would consistently take hits for other people, even when they were really fine, and multiple times she had destressed people down to a manageable level. Absolute mvp. So, we head up to the Denial boss fight, and... She's the first one to die. Stuck with me, having the most positive character on that team be the first one to die. Of course, that's just my brain being silly, but it's stuck with me, and remains part of how I write Bonnie to this day.

And in general, I just really like her design! I like how grubby and grimy she is, I like the way her clothes are all patchwork and little details in how she looks! Compared to the rest of the cast, she looks so minor, so plain. Love her animations, love her attacks, love her playstyle, I just generally adore her. Patting her on the head. Lovingly giving her a juice box. Taking her away from my fireplace. Giving her a warm blanket and a nice meal.
