fratricida

much love and gratitude to @cheshanoneko-draws for allowing me to bastardize interpretation of their wonderful post <3

Lilia fought.

He expected nothing less from the venerable fae, and he would have even felt an awe befitting of his young years once upon a time for the chance to test the limitless hunger of his magic against the General in his prime. He might have even lost— the weight of tactical experience versus raw power and all that.

But this was no simple training duel, and Malleus was no longer bound by the glass chains of cultivated restraint and noble intentions. Lilia— the fae whom he had once dared to conspire deep within the lonely chambers of his heart as one he might call father— had lied to him. Had betrayed him.

He had betrayed them all.

And with that squalling, raging hellfire of an inferno inside of his ruined heart burnt to the blackest of cinder dust, neither Lilia-the-General nor Lilia-the-Laughing-Lying-Pleading-Father ever stood a chance against the might of his overblot-fueled control.

It wasn’t revenge that he was after, no. It was complete and utter devastation. There was only one way to right this tragic wrong, and that was to destroy every trace of the source from the start. And so, blind and deaf to the fae’s horrified and broken pleas as Lilia, clever Lilia, became all too quickly keen on just what Malleus was searching for as he tore apart the memories in his mind with a savage desperation, scattering snatches of laughter and dappled sunshine and the warmth of tiny hands to the ether— he found them. 

For a moment, he nearly hesitated. For a moment, he could nearly see a faint outline of the boy, curled up in his palms in a slumber so familiar that it nearly beckoned Malleus to wake him. An outline of a boy adored by the sun and cherished by the moon, a beloved child of both day and night, blessed beyond his means and measure.

A sin, one that should have never existed.

Here in the middle of a maelstrom brought to bear by the consequences of all those who had ever come before him, he tasted it at last— a madness, of the same kind that consumed the brilliant, dark star of his mother. In his ears, he can hear her voice, high and cold and cruel in her breathless satisfaction to see the curse she had brought forth into this world enact the vengeance she had been robbed of without dignity.

“My son will become king of this land, and his light will shine down upon our peoples as our North star… As for the humans, they shall fear him, they shall fear his light as the harbinger of their doom.”

And with one simple crush of Malleus’ snarled claws, as the warping memories writhed and shrieked and spilled as viscous as lamb’s blood betwixt his fingers, Lilia Vanrouge forgot that he ever had another son.

LIGHT ON ME (2021)

NOH SHINWOO IN EVERY EPISODE » EP.1

Ok but, regarding TMAGP 27, I can't stop thinking about Jonah writing, after sending Archibald to a certain death, "It is done, and I am surprised to find how little remorse I feel." It reminds me of his statement in MAG 160:

"The discovery, not simply of the dark and horrible reality of the world in which you live, but that you would quite willingly doom that world and confine the billions in it to an eternity of terror and suffering, all to ensure your own happiness, to place yourself beyond pain and death and fear. (...) It is an awful thing to know about yourself."

I will never get tired of little details about his life being revealed (regardless of the timeline/dimension) because the parallel between his discovery of the supernatural world and the discovery of his own true self and the things he's capable of is so interesting and compelling to me.

Along with the knowledge of the horrors that exist in his world comes the horror of the realization that he might be capable of anything to stop feeling scared and vulnerable, to put himself over everybody else if necessary. Every time curiosity leads him into a new experiment, a new sacrifice in the name of knowledge, he lets go a little bit of himself and his morality. And then, as it happened with Archibald, and as it happened with Barnabas in another world, he feels surprised of how easy it was. Of how he doesn't feel regret or grief, how at most he finds himself thinking that it was all a pity. So it becomes even easier each time, he finds freedom in it, as he also mentions in MAG 160— and one sacrifice after another, it all becomes incredibly simple. There is no fear of losing himself, only the fear of death and pain remains, and only after that process of two hundreds years can one condemn the world for his own sake.

The progressive descent into evil of Jonah Magnus, slowly exposed through statements and letters, will never stop being one of the more interesting parts of this podcast imo.

I haven't watched more than like, 8 episodes of once piece, but i just want to say that i'm loving your live(?) blogging of the episodes as you go. especially all the sanji x luffy, it's all very cute in general but also how excited you get about it is fantastic.

that's all! i just love seeing people passionately enjoy things.

AAGFGHGHF THANK YOU OMG........I feel like I've been REALLY annoying talking about Sanlu nonstop but I'm glad at least somebody is enjoying it lmao. But if there's one place where I SHOULD have no filter and feel free to talk about my ships constantly, it should be my own blog right. LOL

Essentially,

people don't seem to realize how damaging and traumatic it is to constantly be the object of someone's obsession. like over and over again. not treated like a person but like a piece of meat or a pet or a favorite toy. people do extreme things when they're obsessed, and the person who usually gets hurt is the person they're obsessed with. yandere and obslove creators love to talk about isolating their darlings and stalking them and controlling them, but no one ever talks about what happens when they actually do that to a person. it's all fun and games on paper but when it's put into action, people actually get hurt. and you never hear about it

//who are THESE fresh squids?? (made here)

okay these guys might not get a mention on this blog for a while- if ever- so i'm gonna talk about them now bc i've been rotating them in my mind for a while

these are captain's siblings! the ones they left behind when they were 14 to run away to inkopolis. captain certainly isn't proud of leaving them behind at ALL, in fact the one thing they wish they'd done differently is taking them with them, even if it would've been damn near impossible to take care of 2 younger siblings all on their own away from home when they were already struggling to take care of themself. they have no idea how their siblings fared with their neglectful ass father after they left, but pierce (right) was only a year or 2 younger than them, so they hoped he'd be able to leave soon too- taking harper (left) with him

so yeah harper (left) i think is probably around 16 or 17 now, having been 7 or 8 when captain left. since she was pretty young she didn't really know exactly why they left, and they didn't tell her either, so i'd say she probably resents them for it. she's a hotheaded edgy teen, classic rebel, you know the deal.

and then there's pierce (right), who's around 21 or 22 now, so he would've been 12 or 13 when they left. even if they didn't say a word to him before packing their bags and hopping a train at the asscrack of dawn, he knows exactly why they did. because being a kid and not only growing up, but having to parent your 2 younger siblings in your father's place, is hard. he basically had to take on their role as caretaker of harper when they left, being the second oldest, and that's how he realized. he doesn't resent them exactly, but he does wish they'd at least said goodbye. he's an outwardly chipper guy, and puts on a brave face even at the worst of times.

and they both did eventually get out of that house- pierce didn't leave as soon as he turned 14 like captain did (though cod, he wanted to) but when harper was old enough to be left home alone he got a job and saved up what he could to get himself and his younger sister out of there. and then when harper was 12 and he was 17, he got them both out of there. they might have gone somewhere else first, but i wanna say they probably ended up in splatsville, living in an apartment together with pierce doing what he can to support harper through school, and she does some turfing herself to help with rent and save up her own money so she can get her own place eventually.

i feel like the reason they probably haven't run into captain is that captain lives in inkopolis and only really goes to splatsville to visit rookie, and the last time they saw their siblings, neither of them were fully transformed yet, and they aren't so easy to recognize anymore themself. so if they've happened to pass each other on the street, it'd take more than just a cursory glance to realize just who they're passing. so it could definitely, and likely will, happen eventually. who's to say.

Sometimes I feel so left behind? My friends are in relationships or starting to date, and here I am, in love with a married man old enough to be my father. They're experiencing all kinds of firsts, and I've never even held hands with a guy.
