[uniiiquehecrt]

Hiya! 😘✨ Thank you so much for the addition! It's always a pleasure to see my THOR posts getting some love, and I appreciate your interaction with this and my other meta! :D I hope you don't mind if I respond in turn!

I feel I should point out that the original post was one meant to showcase simply that Thor is a smart, clever, serious and dynamic character. One that is a far cry from an idiot, and one that is certainly not a "himbo" or "jock" movie stereotype as Dir. Ta*ika Wai.ti/ti, his fans and many of the overall MCU!Avengers fandom (or outsiders to the fandom tbh.) tend to boil him down to.

Those claims are simply unsubstantiated, and grossly incorrect.

(And insulting to Thor and Thor fans. It is beyond irritating.)

The post you responded to and its subsequent replies are meant only to defend that original point, as what the replies it has been met with are usually some defense as to why some MCU fans think it is okay to mischaracterize, and ultimately insult a beloved character and his fans to such a demeaning degree.

As it stands, there is no excuse to mischaracterize Thor's intelligence and integrity as a hero, king/prince, leader, and Avenger. In general. And certainly not even within the text of his own canon appearances. Hence: why the post points out where the definition is unequivocally incorrect. So, while I of course am always delighted by friendly debate on the matter, I do fear that any commentary that continues to debate with me the validity of "why" people call one brother dumb and the other smart is ... entirely missing the point. There is no excuse for that. Period. it is mean-spirited, and fans of Thor are entirely allowed and within their right to point this out, and defend the matter.

As it stands, what you are getting at is another subject matter entirely, and while I do not want this discussion to override the original post and its intentions, I do feel this is worth addressing. Especially since ... you are correct only in that this is a common point of contention in the Thor franchise's fandom.

I want to preface by saying this: I am a brodinsons fan. While I do love and value Thor quite deeply, I also love and appreciate Loki. I always have. I love his arc throughout the MCU (phases 1-3), and I've always found him to be an interesting, dynamic character. ...Within his canon, anyways.

That said: there are a lot of "Loki Fans" out there that, as the original replied-tags said, and as you continue to say, feel the need to tear Thor down to build Loki up.

I simply do not agree with this line of thought. Nor do I see it as an understandable justification.

To be entirely frank with you, my friend, my personal perspective is this: if diehard Loki fans feel the need to tear another character down just to feel justified and/or build their own favorite character up, then I would imagine that they don't have any confidence in Loki's abilities in the first place. And that is a shame. I don't understand that either.

saying they’re equal in this area really just means there’s nothing loki excels past Thor at

Off the top of my head, without looking at movie reference, here are seven interesting/cool things that Loki does on his own credentials:

Mastered Asgardian Sorcery as a Frost Giant, to the point of being known as the greatest Sorcerer in all of Asgard.

Mastered a loose capacity of "Bifrost" magic, thus finding found pathways between worlds, and being able to glamour himself from Heimdall's all-seeing eyes.

Mastered wielding the Destroyer, Gungnir, the Casket of Eternal Winters all with no on-screen training.

Is known to have a silvertongue, and uses his wits and guile to get in and out of most situations.

Wielded two infinity stones at the same time.

Mastered the ice pick grip with his daggers, and can defeat 4 opponents in quick succession while surrounded.

Enchanted Odin All-Father for 4 years.

As you can see, at no point did I have to bring up Thor, or tear down his intelligence and feats to praise Loki's. Nor did it at all "sting" to do so.

I'm actually quite proud of him, and to that end, I will point out that not only is Thor, as you said, one of the few who do not see Loki as inferior to himself, but he is also very much aware of his brother's strengths, and actively goes out of his way to utilize, and otherwise work in tandem with Loki's skills.

Thor allows Loki to (initially) spearhead efforts to convince Heimdall to let himself and the Warriors get to Jotunheim. (He only stops Loki when Heimdall makes it clear that Loki's lies won't work.) / THOR (2011)

Thor believes in Loki and their brotherhood so much that he was going to ask Loki (if not outright asks him) to "find a way" to stop the Asgardian/Jotunheim war and find a loophole to bring Thor home to Asgard after his banishment. / THOR (2011)

Thor seeks Loki out to break free from Asgard during lockdown. / THOR: THE DARK WORLD (2013)

Thor actively works alongside Loki's illusions and trusts him to keep his word in their combined effort to destroy the Aether on Svartalfheim. / THOR: THE DARK WORLD (2013)

Thor actively tries to ask Loki for help when he is abducted in Sakaar, and seeks his help in finding a ship to leave the planet. / THOR: RAGNAROK (2017)

Thor actively utilizes Loki's speed, quick-thinking and single minded ambition to raise Surtur on Asgard. / THOR: RAGNAROK (2017)

There are definitely more examples, but these are the ones I can easily reference off the top of my head.

For a character whose main storyline revolves around his angst and heartbreak over desperately wanting to be equal to Thor and always coming up short…. Yeah it just feels a little cold to point out the obvious.

Barring the fact that the "obvious" in question is quite literally just myself pointing out, and I quote: "Loki can't easily outwit Thor either." (I would recommend that you do please read the post again), it is hardly "cold" to do so. It is an objective truth. He cannot easily outwit Thor. They grew up together. Thor knows him better than anyone else, and he certainly knows when Loki is lying to him. Especially when Loki has done nothing but lie and betray him throughout the course of THOR, AVENGERS, and DARK WORLD. It is unfortunate that Thor learned that Loki would turn against him, but it is an unfortunate truth that Thor grew to contend with, and had begun to respond to by becoming justifiably wary of him.

A huge part of Loki’s character is that he’s seen as, [...] Thor’s second fiddle.

I'll touch more on the rest of this point of yours below, but to this end: I disagree with your implication that this makes Loki unimportant. First of all, the second fiddle is a supporting role, and that can be an incredibly integral part. (See: the above six points of Thor actively seeking Loki out, for context.) In an orchestra at least (something I have personal experience with), the second chair violin is not any less important than the first chair violins just because second chair doesn't necessarily always get to play the melody. (Also, usually the melody switches between the entire orchestra, so to say that the second violins don't get a chance to shine alongside the group is false. Yes, this metaphor applies to Loki.)

Secondly, Loki is not a joke to Thor or to anyone else in their universe anyways.

You say that the Warriors only like Thor better, but within the context of the overall discussion, it sounds more like the implication is a misunderstanding that the Warriors wholly dislike him. I don't want to put words into your mouth, so let us presumptively agree that there is at least a presumptive claim within the overall Loki fanbase that this may have been the case. (Being that the Warriors dislike or were not friends with Loki.) I would disagree with that sentiment either way. Or at least I would before Loki's (perceived) insurrection of the throne, followed by Thor's death (the Destroyer), and his attack on Earth (New Mexico and New York), — all of which are very unlikeable things by the way. But I digress on that point to point out what you do neglect to admit overall: the Warriors would not have been concerned about Loki's betrayal if they were not fully aware of, and hold an equal amount of respect for Loki's guile and capabilities.

If they did not first consider him a powerful ally, then they would not consider him a powerful, potential enemy.

And so, to then justify this ... rather envious lens to such retrospection, the stated:

Loki [...] feels like Thor's second fiddle. [...] For a character whose main storyline revolves around his angst and heartbreak over desperately wanting to be equal to Thor and always coming up short [...]

Also falls flat to me.

Just because Loki feels this way does not mean it is true. People - and especially characters - can wholeheartedly believe something that is entirely a misunderstanding or a fabrication. The feeling may be a valid one, but that does not make it correct in any capacity.

When Loki says "I only ever wanted to be your equal!", he means that he wanted to work alongside Thor. He also means that he wanted to be as beloved/popular as Thor.

But if Loki stopped focusing on Thor and what Thor can do that Loki cannot, Loki would find that he was liked by the people he thought dislike him, is capable of a great many things that are unique to himself, and that all of these skills work in tandem with and in favor of Thor, and thus make Loki Thor's equal already. He would also find that Thor has already known this, and has always acted upon this. In this matter, Thor's greatest shortcoming has only ever been that he simply thought this was an obvious fact that Loki already knew. (Note: "greatest", not "only". His impulsive and short temper are flaws too.)

More than that: Loki and Thor are allies and brothers who love one another fiercely. To pit one against the other is entirely a fool's errand, and frankly the entire point of their story in the MCU. They are better together. Tearing them apart only causes misery for themselves and others.

Lastly, I would like to end my part of the discussion by pointing out one thing.

Thor beats him in every category. The only thing Loki fans really have to cling to is Loki’s undeniable cleverness.

Let's ignore the fact that I brought up seven things that can be pointed to in Loki's favor.

I simply do not see why it is that Loki needs to have anything to "beat" Thor in, in the first place. Truly, I cannot understand the logic behind a sentiment like that. Why should Loki be compared to anyone else other than himself and his own actions? And why should Thor and Thor fans be made to feel badly about Thor's own strengths?

They are two completely different people with different strengths and weaknesses. One is street-smart (Thor) and the other is book-smart (Loki), and there are times and places for either one of those strengths to shine.

So when you say:

Loki [...] is Thor's second fiddle.

Whether or not Loki is capable of the same sheer amount of powerful destruction as Thor is entirely besides the point in any discussion about either Loki or Thor. Thor is a royal Asgardian. He far surpasses every normal Asgardian and any "mortal" aliens, like humans. Even superpowered humans. In the MCU, Thor is on par with other aliens like Thanos (a Titan). His only rivals are the other royal Asgardians who wielded parts of the All-Force that now only he wields. They were both incredibly strong, and now they're both dead. And the kicker is that Thor is still growing.

So, at no point has anyone expected Loki to output the same amount of sheer might as Thor. (If anything they only seem to judge him based on their culture's view of honor and glory. Something that Loki does not adhere to in the same way as the rest of them, but something that Thor constantly learns and grows to appreciate about him.)

Not to again mention that they are two completely different alien species. Not only that, but again, Thor in particular is a special breed of said different alien species. Yet Loki still manages to keep up with Thor in almost every capacity. Something that not even the Warriors can do.

Thor has super-strength? So does Loki. Thor is as quick as lightning? Loki is even faster. Thor has the All-Force? Loki mastered sorcery and some bifrost magic. Thor is a tank and an aggressive first and last line of defense? Loki makes himself Thor's perfect ace up his sleeve for when things go awry. Thor is a capable commander? Loki can think outside of the box. Thor has the strength of every imaginable storm at his fingertips? Loki knows exactly what to say and what to do to bridle it when Thor's impulsiveness gets the better of him, or otherwise add to the chaos.

Loki is Thor's equal and he always has been. They were meant to rule together, and for a very good reason.

Were I to say anything to the Loki fans who feel this way, it would be this:

Your love of your character, and your pride in his feats are already valid just by having them. You do not need to look to outside sources for "justification" in why you love him. Nor why you may favor him over Thor. Just as Thor may simply be to one fan's taste more so than Loki or one of the other Avengers, so too can Loki simply be your favorite without any other pretense to it, and I promise you that is a perfectly fine enough reason on its own. He's a complex character, a fantastic villain and anti-hero, and, yes, he is capable of great things. At no point do you need to be envious of Thor or any other character just because of what Loki can or cannot do.

Do not do your own favorite a disservice by comparing him to anyone other than himself.

But if you insist on comparing Loki to anyone else, then I would implore you to start thinking less about what Loki cannot do that Thor can do, and more about what Loki can do that nobody else can BECAUSE he can do it standing alongside Thor in the first place.

If Thor is the "golden standard", and Loki is his equal and opposite force, then it is far more intriguing to consider, then, all of the many ways in which Loki can define himself and surpass nigh any obstacle simply because he is the brother of Thor.

You’re absolutely 100% correct about all of this, but I feel like just adding perspective on why people so often fall into the trap of ‘Loki smart, Thor dumb’.

Listen. A huge part of Loki’s character is that he’s seen as, feels, and is Thor’s second fiddle. Through no fault of Thor’s own (ok maybe a tiny bit of fault with the “know your place” line etc in Thor 1. Oop.)- in fact I think Thor is one of the few people in Asgard that doesn’t necessarily see Loki as inferior to himself. But like it or not, Loki is inferior to him.

He’s physically weaker (not by a lot, but still), he’s far less popular with the asgardian people, their friend group likes him way less, and even their father clearly favors Thor. Even as far as magic is concerned- the one area that’s always seen as Loki’s thing- well…. to be honest, up until the series, Thor’s magical feats have been waaay more impressive than Loki’s. Thor beats him in every category. The only thing Loki fans really have to cling to is Loki’s undeniable cleverness.

Like yes, of course Thor is also very intelligent, and of course he’s very cunning in his own right… but this is the only possible area where Loki might be a little better than him. And to have it pointed out that actually, canonically, Loki isn’t more clever than Thor. They are, in fact, equal… well that stings a little, you know?

Because saying they’re equal in this area really just means there’s nothing loki excels past Thor at. And for a character whose main storyline revolves around his angst and heartbreak over desperately wanting to be equal to Thor and always coming up short…. Yeah it just feels a little cold to point out the obvious.

That’s not to say you’re wrong! They really are pretty evenly matched smarts-wise and Thor definitely isn’t anywhere near as stupid as fans want him to be. I just think there’s a reason Loki fans are so vocal about him supposedly being the “smart one” lol.

Misterican NPC / OCs - A Compound List

☀️  Lord Helakanpunainen Aurinko || Scarlet Sun- Lord of Misterica. 

Lord Aurinko is Misterica’s King. Lord Aurinko is Usva and Pilvi’s father and the King responsible for the Tuuli-Sumu Tulitauko. (Wind-Mist Ceasefire). After centuries of war against Windaria, Lord Aurinko managed to negotiate a ceasefire.  The war is not over and the feud between these two world is not solved but Lord Aurinko has managed to bring about at least a temporary state of peace. 

🌙 Lady Ametisti Kuu || Amethyst Moon  - Lady of Misterica. 

Lady Kuu is Misterica’s Queen. She is Usva and Pilvi’s mother and is quite affectionate of both her children. She is revered as the Queen that brought the prophesied Child of White into the world.  She has a habit of nicknaming her loved ones calling her husband, Elämäni Aurinko (Sun of my life), her eldest son, Aamun Usva (Morning Mist), and her youngest son, LumiPilvi (Snow Cloud). 

🌧️  Kenraali Sininen Taivas || General Blue Skies - Commander of the Royal Knights 

Kenraali Taivas is the leader of the Royal Knights and in charge of Misterica’s protection against any invading threats - even if most of that threat settles in Windaria.  He is responsible for the protect of the Kingdom herself but also the Royal Family, the Religious Council and The Holy Vessel. He is a master of all Mist Magics but has a preference towards water and wind magics.  His weapon of choice is a blue toned crystal sword name Ukkosen aalto (Thunder Wave).

✨ Eversti Revon Tulet  || Colonel Northern Lights -  Knight of the Holy Vessel

Eversti Tulet is one of the few Royal Knights that has been assigned to the direct protection of the Royal Family and had a specific member assigned to him. While it is within his job description to protect the entire Royal Family,  Prince Valkoinen Pilvi is his main focus. He was assigned the protection of The Child of White and The Celestial Mother’s Holy Vessel himself. He’s been with Prince Pilvi since he took his first flight at the age of 3.  He’s a stoic man who doesn’t speak too much both as a personality quirk and due to the nature of his mist. He’s grown extremely fond of the Prince over the years. He has decent knowledge of Mist Magics but is a master of wind based spells. His main weapon of choice is a tall spear named Smaragdi Myrsky. (Emerald Storm)

*Pilvi refers to him as simply Revon. 

🌊  Everstiluutnantti Safiirin Hehku || Lieutenant Colonel Sapphire Glow - Knight of the Red Mist 

Everstiluutnantti Hehku is also one of the Royal Knights that has been assigned to the protection of the Royal Family, but her focused charge in question is the protection of Prince Punainen Usva.  She’s been assigned to the protection of the eldest prince since he was 4 years old. She’s a no nonsense knight who will not deal with any of the prince’s bullshit and is quick to correct his cussing habit in public but will allow it from time to time when they are in private. She’s close with Eversti Tulet due to the princes being nearly attached at the hip and the two of them needing to stay with their respective charge. She’s a fierce warrior and highly versed in Mist Magics. She is a master of water and ice type spells but knows many others. Her preferred weapon of choice is a pair of light blue crystal daggers named Timanttipöly. (Diamond Dust).

*Usva refers to her as simply Safiirin

📚 Opettaja Tähtien Valo || Professor Starlight - Teacher of the Child of White

Opettaja Valo is Pilvi’s literature and history instructor and is privately employed by the Royal Family to strictly provide lessons for Prince Pilvi and him alone. Valo is Pivli’s only instructor on these subjects and will be with him until he completes his education as an adult. One teacher, ever increasing difficulty of content. As such Valo has got to watch the boy progress year after year and properly gauge where he’s at and fine tune his education especially for him and his current understanding level. Valo is curious and a complete nerd for history. He’s become rather close to the prince over the years and will treat both princes as regular people when in private with them.  They both look to him as a mentor and a friend. 

📚 Opettaja Nousi Aamunkoitto || Professor Dawn - Teacher of the Child of White

Opettaja Aamunkoitto is Pilvi’s Mathematics and Government instructor and is privately employed by the Royal Family to strictly provide lessons for Prince Pilvi and him alone. Aamunkoitto is  Pivli’s only instructor on these subjects and will be with him until he completes his education as an adult. One teacher, ever increasing difficulty of content. He is no nonsense and does not fall for the prince’s antics. It is Aamunkoitto’s job to make sure that Pilvi understands his Kingdom’s government so he can properly lead them in the future and he takes this job extremely seriously. He shows the prince no form of special treatment for being the Child of White and if anything that means he expects twice as much out of him.  He’s serious about his craft and has problem solving skills like no other. However, despite his strict nature he cares deeply for the young prince and would do just about anything for him. 

📚 Opettaja Ilta Palo|| Professor Blaze - Teacher of the Child of White

Opettaja Palo is Pilvi’s Science and Medical instuctor and is privately employed by the Royal Family to strictly provide lessons for Prince Pilvi and him alone. Palo is Pivli’s only instructor on these subjects and will be with him until he completes his education as an adult.  One teacher, ever increasing difficulty of content. As such that means Palo has got to watch her student progress through the years and she can decide where he needs more help and where he is excelling. She’s a fast paced inventor with a love for medical and a healing hand. She is always trying to help and to invent new ways to do so.  She’s older than both Aamunkoitto and Valo and has known them since long before they were employed by the Royal Family.  Palo is also a licensed technician for the sumunaamio. 

⛏️🌧️ Laivaston Sadetta || Navy Rain - Head of Kaivinkone

Laivaston Sadetta is a middle aged woman of Blue and she heads Misterica’s Kaivinkone. The Kaivinkone is an expert group of Religious excavators who work to find all of that is lost in Misterica’s vast system of ruins. They have come to contain everyone from excavators to translators. Their main mission is to uncover all the sacred fragments containing the Goddess Language so they can be translated and given to the church.  Sadetta runs her Kaivinkone no nonsense because that is how someone ends up hurt or worse.  She’s a kind but strict leader and works her hardest to see that the prophecy left for them by the Celestial Mother is uncovered. 

 ✝️ Piipsa Hopea Sumu || Bishop Silver Fog - Speaker of the Celestial Mother

Piipsa Sumu is the leader of the Religious Council and the Church of the Celestial Mother, Tiamat. He has the most influence when it comes to political power on the Church’s side of Misterica’s government. He works closely with the King to make decisions and is in charge of leading most rituals and ceremonies. He works closely with The Holy Vessel as well. 

☪️ Arkkipiipsa Kiiltävää Kultaa || Archbishop Shining Gold - Keeper of the Sacred Text

Arkkipiipsa Kultaa is the right hand of Piipsa Sumu and together they lead the Religious Council. She also works hand in hand with the Royal Family and has a decent range of pull when it comes to making decisions. She’s responsible for the upkeep of the sacred texts and The Kaivinkone. She too therefore works closes with The Holy Vessel. Arkkipiipsa Kultaa and her people are the one’s in charge of setting up any religious festivals that take place during the year.  She is very strict and has an obsession with perfection. She believes that true  perfection to appear in the imagine the Celestial Mother herself. 

⭐ Maallikot Lila Tähti || Liaty Lilac Star 

Maallikot Lila is a member who serves in the church and helps with daily functions and making sure messages are relayed back and forth between the Council and the Royal Family. She also works to collect Prince Pilvi when he is running late for meetings.

[moved-to-void-kissed]

Howdy Void! I wanted to ask for Pyra, from the Acrostic ask game 👉🏽👈🏽🥺✨💚

Tex

Of course, dear @tex-treasures! Thank you very much for this ^-^

(question source: "ACROSTIC F/O ASK GAME" by sweettoothselfships)

P - Pets - do they have a pet? if so, what kind and what is/would be its name? would you have a pet together? - Pyra doesn't have any pets, no! (Despite Sapphire having a number of feline traits - cat ears, fluffy hands, etc. - she doesn't count.) I could probably see her with a dog, like a golden retriever or something, though I'm not sure on names or anything. In the context of XC2 itself, it probably wouldn't be viable to have any pets, although I like the idea of Sapphire continuing to look after little plants and things, which.. sort of count, right?

Y - You! - what do they like about you? - ah crumbs, okay. One of the things that Pyra really treasures about Sapphire is how she never takes anyone for granted, and always appreciates things that other people do, whether for her or otherwise - since, that genuine gratitude helps reassure Pyra that she is in fact wanted, and loved, and she is not the burden on the world that she sometimes can't help but feel she is. She also admires that Sapphire is not afraid to stand up for what she feels is right, and fight back against those who would get in the way of that - which.. sometimes combines with her impulsive streak to lead to such situations as pushing a prince off a bridge, and then later launching the main antagonist off a cliff, but the protectiveness is definitely there and appreciated on Pyra's end. Those are just some of the things.

I've put the other two answers under the readmore, just so that this post isn't overly long on the dashboard.

R - Rainbow - what colours do you associate with them and why? - I associate Pyra with red because it's such a prevalent feature in her design - both her hair and eyes are red, plus it's the main colour of her armour, and the fact that her elemental powers manifest as fire also reinforces the link. Apart from that, however, there's also an association with the colour of her Core Crystal and ether lines (specifically the "emerald" that they appear as in-game, since her official artwork makes them way too blue for some reason and it doesn't look right). The colour is very nice, and it's also unique to her and Mythra, plus it contrasts well with the red in her design - so, it stands out to me. I'm not sure how clear this reference is - XC2-knowing mutuals, let me know if you spot it, if you want - but, it wouldn't be amiss to say that it reminds me of her spirit, too.

A - Art - do they draw or paint? what about any other kind of art? what’s their favourite style/subject/another artist who inspires them? - Pyra's art comes in the form of her cooking, since she specialises strongly in cooking and it is something she is not only very good at but enjoys greatly, too! As she says herself in-game, "as long as fire is involved, [she] can do almost anything! Fry, steam, grill - you name it. If you want ice-cream, though.. You might have to find someone else." I think she is very individual about her style of cooking, and even when she learns other recipes from various different nations across Alrest, she still is able to keep the dish recognisable while putting her own flair on it (and it's a flair that keeps the meal more palatable than Crossette's "everything becomes edible if you apply enough fire!" mentality, ahaha)

I hope that those answers were alright! Thank you very much again for sending this in, friend!~

[prince-of-goatness]

Once pulled back, Ralsei moved his hands to Kris' shoulders, doing his best to smile for the both of them. It stung to see Kris like this.

"Are you alright? I didn't mind the joke, really! It just...confused me."

Best not directly ask what the problem is, he figured. If Kris trusted him enough, they'd tell him when they were ready. Until then Ralsei was here for any of their struggles. He'd do research on what was affecting Kris later, that was all...

...Where would he find books on humans, anyway? Maybe he could figure out how to use the internet to help look into this.

“Just for one night, let’s be villains.”

Now, what could they possibly mean by that?

If Ralsei really considered it, Kris was quite possibly be the one person that could change the future of the entire world. Being a villain, even for a night, could ruin everything Ralsei had ever worked for. Even so, he was just there to be Kris' second hand. Who was he to stop them from doing what they wanted? 

"...Actions have consequences, Kris. What would you do? Who would get hurt?"

And could they fix it?

[darknr-prince]

walkingexistentialkrisis​:

“… What are you talking about? Hurt me? I fell out of a tree as a kid.”

Kris is extremely confused. The monsters may not have done a fantastic job of fixing the damage, but they certainly weren’t responsible for causing it.

“And uh… I can try? Sometimes getting here is… kind of a walk.”

“A-ah! I’m sorry, I misunderstoon what you said, I’m sorry!”

Was he off base? Gosh, he didn’t mean to offend their Hometown! But he could have sworn...

Nevermind.

“I’d come to you, but ah...That’d be a little tricker!”

❛ it’s just a scratch, don’t worry. ❜

Short angst starters

"You can't tell a healer not to worry about an injury, Kris! I don't care if you think its just a scratch, come over here..."

[prince-of-goatness]

"W-wh....Ral...?" Emerald whined weakly, wanting all three to escape. But one was better than none, and he trusted Cross more than anything.

"Fine. Fine!" They hissed, turning their face away from their Ralsei's expression. They didn't like that he was so pleased about saving just one... just one wasn't good enough.

"...Just let me go. But please, at least let me watch you heal him."

prince-of-goatness‌:

It… Wasn’t abandoning Ralsei. They refused to believe that. Besides, it’s not like they weren’t going to try any save him! They were just more useful outside than in…

Cross squirmed uncomfortably, looking around as if to find a secret third option, but the fading look on Emerald’s face understandably had them a bit rushed.

“…Will you let the other two go too?”

It was a slim chance, but it was worth clarifying. Even still, there was no chance they were going to leave and give up empty handed.

“No.” Quick and blunt. He walked over to Cross, extending his hand as a familiar spell was on his fingertips. He was losing patience. Either he’d pacify them and move them into another room for more…specialized torture…

Or he’d toss them back home, for Emerald’s sake, “5…4…3…”

Make a decision or I’ll make it for you. The sadistic smile on his face spread.

[darknr-prince]

"Yes--!"

Wait. Wait. He answered far too quickly there. Unfortunately for him, there was nowhere to hide his face as the embarrassment washed over him, squeezing their hands tighter as he tried to press his lips shut and actually think through his next response.

"I-I mean...Oh my gosh I'm sorry..."

Ralsei whined and immediately looked anywhere but at Kris. Though he'd never admit it to anyone, he had imagined this moment before, only he didn't completely ruined the moment by being overeager like this. The mix of emotions was making his head spin. What was he getting Kris into...?

"I do...I really really do, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to answer so fast--"

"Can I kiss you?" 😩💕💕💕

Send "Can I kiss you?" for my Muse's reaction

Ralsei immediately froze up, wide eyed and staring for about two seconds as he tried to remember how to speak.

"I-If...If you want to! I would li--I wouldn't mind!"

[darknr-prince]

theyensouled​:

“I can’t believe you actually like me!!”

“Of course I do! I have for a while--”

...

He’s said too much.

🌋

Send 🌋 and my muse will blurt out the first thing that comes to mind when they see your muse

"I can't believe you actually like me-"

[prince-of-goatness]

actflirt​:

Kris gazes down the path ahead, crawling with Werewires bumbling about, aimless, but in a way that would make advancing without confrontation difficult.

Drawing their sword, the human offers their unoccupied hand for Ralsei to take, if he so pleased–

–you know, so they don’t get separated or nothing.

“I know you will.”

A glimmer of a smile twinkles under the kaleidoscopic lights of Cyber’s World.

Oh! How could he feel anything but butterflies when they looked at him like that? If he forgot about all the danger around them for just a moment, he would be perfectly content staying here...taking Kris’s hand...

--So they didn’t get separated or anything, of course.

Ralsei gave a quick nod and a bit more of a confident smile. He didn’t need to feel self conscious as long as he was here to help protect Kris in return!

“I’m ready when you are.”

"Don't worry. I'll protect you."

Ralsei couldn't help that he was the weakest of the Fun Gang! He was there to be a guide and a healer, not a fighter!

...Though maybe it was weighing on him that Susie seemed to pick up healing as fast as she did, weak as it was.

"Thank you, Kris! It means a lot to me...I'll do my best for you too!"

[prince-of-goatness]

Hearing them back lifted an incredible weight off his shoulders, more tears falling from his eyes while he squeezed the other's hand gently. Raldere loved him too...it wasn't just lonliness and casual affection.

He still felt overwhelmed from the last situation, but at least this steered him in a different direction! Goodness, he only hoped Raldere didn't notice the tail quickly wagging behind him beneath his robe...

"I-I love you...I really do..." He repeated as if to reassure them both over again, nuzzling noses again. Being close to someone after all the chaos felt incredible...

"I'm so happy, Ralsei..."

prince-of-goatness‌:

“I know you wouldn’t….” He sighed, gently nuzzling the nose against his. Bravery was the last thing Emerald would use to describe himself, as would anyone that really knew him, he thought.

His hand reached down to hold the other’s, lacing fingers together. This was where he was comfortable…He didn’t mind staying with someone that truly cared for him like this.

…In fact.

His eyes lifted back up to look into soft pink ones, expression staying the same as he kept an eye on Raldere’s.

“…I-I love you.”

Was that okay to say now?

“Eh? A-Ah…Hm. Yes. I s-see. Yeah. Wow…uh…ehm…” He said it. Emerald said it. Raldere had been the first to hint at feelings like that and certainly hadn’t held back his affection in their interactions since. But he hadn’t said it. And Emerald did.

He said it. He said it! The situation was still somber, however the prince felt like dancing!

“I love you.” It came out easily, hardly restrained now that he knew this moment was hallucinated, “I love you dearly, my beloved prince.”

“We needn’t be lonely ever again.”

[prince-of-goatness]

I...I can at least be glad of that...

prince-of-goatness‌:

Cross is still unconscious….?

The potion may have been a little too potent.

Oops~

[prince-of-goatness]

I

Aaaaaaaah I'll be over in a few minutes!

prince-of-goatness‌:

Why do you have to bring that up, I only know a handful of people, I’m sorry…

Are you? Are you sorry? You’ve given so many cause to believe you’re a simpering whore.

I don’t care. Come over.

[prince-of-goatness]

...okay...

He did something to the timeline, so I'm going to try to convince him to fix it or let me in. Maybe you can sneak in with me?

It's. It's Raldere, but it's not? I don't think so, anyway...

prince-of-goatness‌:

but….

Maybe I can talk him out of it? It’s…it’s another Ralsei, and it’s one I know kind of well…

If something happens to you too, I’ll be alone.

Ralsei, please, I don’t care who it is…

[prince-of-goatness]

Emerald nodded slow, tugging down on his hat a bit self consciously. What did he say...? His eyes made him feel things?

"O-of course...It's still a tricky process, and we owe the Krises our full attention..."

"...But we will absolutely talk more on this."

prince-of-goatness‌:

“A-ah, goodness I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to cross a line, I just…That’s a feeling I’ve had before, so I thought it had to be something along those lines…”

Emerald lowered his head, playing with his fingers. He didn’t want him to be uncomfortable…

“I-I do apologize…”

“…You need not apologize.” He huffed softly, “It was childish of me to…blow up at you about my own feelings.”

He straightened his glasses, “…I just need to make sure these emotions don’t interfere with our preparations. I will do my best to forget them.”

“…Until we finished…that is.”

[prince-of-goatness]

...I'll leave you alone, then.

prince-of-goatness‌:

That’s not why!!!

I’m so sorry…I was scared and I thought that I new him well enough to do this on my own and I didn’t and I’m glad you came….

Please don’t hate me….

I don’t want you two to hate me…

YOU’RE NOT SORRY.

You did what you thought was best. You didn’t consider my feelings nor my capabilities. You went on your own because you didn’t think about you getting hurt was just as devastating to me. You didn’t consider that every one of my lovers was getting locked up and tortured in there.

So you’re not sorry and don’t try to turn this on me with ‘don’t hate me.’

Fuck you, Ralsei.
