You gave Xiao your heart.

He thought it was a spar invite.

coming across as more than just friends is so simple when it comes to yuuji.

you eat from the same spoon, take turns licking the same lollipop, sleep in the same bed after a party, cuddle, go on vacation together, hold hands when you’re drunk, steal glances at each other that last way too long each time, indulge pillow talk, call each other cute pet names, buy each other gifts every valentine’s day, have questionable dreams about each other that leave you way too hot and bothered in the morning… the list goes on.

but the second someone mentions it, you both feel the heat hit your face, and all of a sudden you’re aware of the closeness and the warmth that tingles in the narrow space between your bodies and how big his pupils get whenever you make eye contact.

and you also realize the yearning. it hits so deep; right to your goddamn core. turns you into this pathetic, vulnerable thing that is scarily soft. it wants to be loved so badly, loved in a different kind of way which both you and him have been dancing around for a long while now.

at least until that safety blanket that you call ‘just friends’ covers you both again, that is. then you’re back to square one.

"Heya Gylka, watcha got there?" Asked Max, leaning down to eye level of the youngling.

"Heart!" chirped the youngling boy, holding out a handmade heart made of paper and decorated so sweetly and nicely.

"Wow, I really like it! You did an awesome job, your one of the best cutters in class."

"For you."

"Me? I get to keep it?" the youngling nodded. "Aw, thanks bud." the human ruffled the fur of the boy before he ran off back to the craft table.

A minute later he came back this time with small piece paper and a marker. He handed them to the human.

"Draw."

"Draw what?" he asked grabbing the paper and marker

"...a heart!"

"Alright." once drawn he gave it back to the child who ran back to the table. Later he came back with a cut out heart that was even more nicely decorated than the last.

"For you!" the youngling beamed.

.

"Woah what's with all the hearts and circles?" laughed Kim looking at the mountain of paper circles and hearts decorated sweetly.

"Gylka just won't stop making them for me. It's so cute though, he runs up to me with paper, asks me to draw a heart or circle and then cuts it out and decorates it before giving it to me."

"Aww cute!" the human cooed.

They continued to walk to the dorms before Kim stops.

"...Gylka? Gylka was the one who made you all of those?"

"Yeah."

"Did he...do anything while giving it to you?"

"...y'know he did actually. He knelt down on both knees while giving it to me."

"...oh my god this is too cute!" squealed Kim.

"What?! What's too cute?"

"He's proposing to you!"

"...what!" He ran up to her grabbing her shoulders. "What?!!"

"Its...its custom for his species...to-to, oh my stomach hurts." she wheezes.

"Finish the sentence Kim!"

"It's custom for his species to have their future spouse draw or tell how they want to be proposed to. If they can meet and go beyond their expectations then they're officially engaged.

Usually it's an item, the ring if you will, that is drawn for the pursuer. This shows that they will be a very caring and attentive spouse who will put in the time and effort to give you want you want in the relationship. Hearts are for love and the heart of the proposer and circles mean long life."

"...so he has a crush on me?"

"Yes."

"...that is so cute...Kim how am I gonna turn him down?! He's so sweet and adorable!"

"I doubt anything will happen more than this. Just play along."

"Yeah, yeah your right. It's just a kid crush."

..

*4 days later*

"Human Max do you know who is Gylka's promised one?" asked Gylka's mother

"...I'm sorry?"

"His promised one...I believe you humans call it a fiancée?"

"...oh no."

"What is the matter??"

"...what will you do with his...promised one?"

"Simply explain what it means to them and their parents and get in touch for playdates. Let things run its course without any pressure."

"Oh thank you! Okay they're right here. Its me. I'm his 'promised one'"

"...I was wondering who was this 'giant old sunny boy' he was talking about!" she laughs. "I will talk to him."

"Thank you, although I am flattered."

They both laughed.

hey about the vow made to radahn?

i had a moment of red string insanity while, as i have been since the dlc dropped, thinking about the motivations and agency of radahn.

(please tell me i'm not the only one stumbling into this hypothesis)

i've been long pondering about gaius, radahn's older brother figure, being an albinauric, one of the opressed people miquella is trying to save. and how he is stated to be cursed from birth, cursed people being also part of miquella's motivations.

i am in the camp that miquella has good intentions, but desperation has driven him to extreme methods. the "he is controlling everyone, nobody is willing!!" angle doesn't sit right with me. frankly, it makes for a less impactful story. it makes things convoluted, where seeing miquella as someone with limited power and a lot of his moves as scrambling to recover from setbacks makes sense. everything didn't go down as planned, there were things out of his control.

so. radahn. he promised to be miquella's consort, for better or worse. what did miquella vow to him?

i considered it, but wanting gaius to be saved doesn't feel like enough motivation for him. or if it was, would the man who learned gravity magic to keep riding his beloved horse decide to abandon his sworn brother so that he can, what, go hog wild in the shattering war?

but thinking about gaius made me think of albinaurics. lack of feet. being cursed from birth. radahn lacks his feet during the festival. that's not anything, scarlet rot rots away limbs all the time.

but scarlet rot doesn't turn your skin gray and sclera black.

marika's children are prone to being born cursed. cursed to be taken over by entities. losing their minds.

it's hard to find a sensible reason for radahn and malenia to have fought. two possibilities i've seen before are 1) radahn wasn't on board with the plan (likely had broken out of miquella's charms and control) so malenia was sent to bring him back in line 2) for some reason, miquella specifically needed him to die and be resurrected, and all the weird circumstances are somehow part of the same plan and make sense for reasons we just can't know but trust me bro they do.

it's interesting that in the story trailer, in radahn's and malenia's fight, radahn's face is shown only for a split second.

gray skin. black sclera.

was radahn, too, cursed from birth?

was he doomed to be overtaken, to lose himself?

had he lost his mind long before he was afflicted with scarlet rot? had he turned into a scourge, and not much else, before he and malenia fought?

did malenia see herself in him? did she want to give him the death he would have wanted? did she want to help him keep a promise he wouldn't have wanted to break?

did miquella vow to save him, like he did the albinaurics, like he did malenia?

Hey Red, in the B roll stream for TOTK that you did last month, you mentioned that you had finalised a couple of pages that you were particularly excited for because you got to make something happen that you weren’t sure if it would happen. Are we seeing those pages now?

If so, I don’t think Falst or Erin are particularly happy about it.

Almost anything in the last dozen or so pages could qualify tbh, there was a LOT I was surprised I could work in

[raikirikiri]

thinking about if konoha ninja who became anbu frequently 'died' so they wouldn't be on any registry and so other villages would get word that notable shinobi have 'died'. they don't do it often, that would be suspicious, but they do it to kakashi. minato assigns him to anbu and apologizes blandly when he tells him his death is going to be faked. kakashi, broken traumatized and depressed, thinks nothing of it.

kakashi 'dies' on a mission months after the death of rin, after obito watched, after he lost pretty much everything and any sense of self he had. his body isn't recovered and the circumstances of his death are unclear.

if im being entirely cruel, this means that no one in the village (guy, asuma, iruka, etc.) would know that kakashi is still alive. they all think he's dead and they grieve him and kakashi... disappears. he doesn't know himself anymore and he can't, because he's dead and he's in the anbu now and that's all that matters. his life for konoha in life and death, always.

obito, being the stalker he is, looks for kakashi. he missed him entering the anbu, he missed the faked funeral, he missed a lot. he tries to find him in his shoebox apartment, stakes out minato's home, sits at the memorial stone and rin's grave. but kakashi never shows up and obito decides he'll check the active missions in konoha, just to know where kakashi is (definitely not to follow him and watch him, that'd be weird, duh). so after sneaking into the hokage's office with kamui, he rifles through the piles of s-rank and a-rank missions, but kakashi's name is nowhere to be found. confused and almost insulted on kakashi's behalf, he checks the b-ranks and below, but no dice.

now obito is getting...nervous might not be the word but he's definitely feel angry at this point. if kakashi isn't home, on a mission, grieiving, or with minato then where is he. obito stalks guy next, finds him sitting on a rock by a stream, glum. he's pale, his eyes are watery, he looks exhausted and obito is definitely nervous at this point. he'd never admit it but for something to get guy of all people down... obito fears for the worst.

through much stalking and espionage, obito finds out where kakashi is.

he's dead.

that can't be right.

he would've heard if kakashi was dead, right? zetsu would've told him. he would've known. kakashi has one of his eyes, he definitely would've known. and obito, pissed, scared, and indignant, opens up the connection between him and kakashi, searching for kakashi's vision, for what he can see. he hasn't done it since that night when rin...

he didn't want kakashi to know it existed, never even wanted to take that chance. but he doesn't care anymore. kakashi isn't dead. it's just not possible.

obito was right. kakashi isn't dead.

but he might as well be.

kakashi has no way out of the anbu now, no way that wouldn't give away konoha's secrets. guy can't help him because guy thinks he's dead, minato can't help him, he killed him in the first place. kakashi will forever live, breathe, and die for konoha. it makes obito's blood boil, he feels reminiscent of the night rin died.

he hates kakashi. he wants to hate kakashi. he can't hate kakashi. he can hate the world, he can despise konoha, he can want to kill minato. but kakashi...

he's never been able to hate him. no matter how hard he tried, how easy kakashi made it for him. when it came to kakashi, his balance between love and hate was never more skewed.

there's a particularly awful mission, kakashi is the only one to return to the village and he's...he's not good. obito watches him laugh hysterically as he washes his hands of blood that isn't there. he's never seen kakashi so broken and it hurts more than he ever thought it would.

obito gets kakashi out of the anbu. kakashi hates him for it, fights him, thrashes against him and his will and ideologies. kakashi doesn't know him, obito was too ahamed to reveal himself. it doesn't matter though, kakashi wants to die. he was happy in the anbu, he says. it'd be a quicker death, a noble death.

you've already died, obito shouts at him, enraged and torn apart. how can't he see it? how can he be so naive and blind to it all?

kakashi doesn't answer, doesn't know what words to say to make this stranger believe he isn't worth the trouble. obito has no choice.

with a shaking hand, he removes his mask. kakashi watches, eyes wide and wet and obito throws the mask to the side to hold out his hand. you've already died, but you can be reborn.

with me.

kakashi, broken tattered and thoroughly sure he's lost it, takes obito's hand. yes, kakashi thinks, he's died. but if this is the afterlife, than maybe things won't be so bad...

I keep thinking about Riku picking the paopu fruit in KH1 and giving it to Sora and that having been his not-so-subtle way of trying to share it with him…..

This was Rikus 13th reason I think

Have any of you ever had this heart-wrenching experience where you see an amazing fanart of some character, that dies in canon relatively young, but is depicted in their would-have-been old age? Fanart where the character has grey hairs in their head, fanart with expression lines and textured skin, where it is undeniable that the character lived.

I remember the first time when that happened to me with a character I adored and really wished they could have had the opportunity to live and enjoy life, not just survive.

That shit brought me to tears.
