(( how i look scouring rpblr for more active spiderverse accs while also being too scared to start anything ))

[shorthaltsjester]

just constantly thinking about percy telling vex that he’d like to think they’re all better than they think they are (except her brother, of course) . constantly thinking about when vex tells percy he’s a good man and he gets awkward and flustered and returns that she’s a good woman and when she gets as awkward and flustered he goes “see. it’s not very nice is it.” percy shouting to ripley that he forgives her and vex carves forgive into the wood of her bow. vex tells percy to take off his mask and percy comes across vex in tears and scrubbing at her armour. god. the campaign starts and percy is making arrows as flirting and getting kisses in return and the campaign ends and exhausted and knowing it won’t be a want that will be fulfilled percy admits he never wants to make another weapon and vex equally exhausted affirms that he’ll never Have to. and god . god . opposites attract is great or whatever but the deliciousness of dynamics where the characters hold up a mirror to one another where they get to shed the burden of self and see someone Like Them as someone good or capable of being better and Falling In Love. and that love being a pathway to them coming to grips with their own image and their own capacity to be better. and that the fact that the person they fall for being someone so Familiar means that they see through each other’s shit. that percy sees that vex has fallen into the trap of Nobility tricking people into thinking that makes them inherently better and giving her the only whitestone title someone has to earn beyond selection or marriage or birth. that vex sees percy forgive ripley and discusses the importance of that choice but reminds him that it’s just as important that he forgive himself.

farewell; let's meet again

– inspired in song 

✎𓂃 pilgrimage of repentance, maigo hanyuu. this song would fit so well with one of my ocs… maybe some other day. i've been meaning to launch this series for so long and it's finally here! (confetti) this isn't quite the intended debut work, but oh well. a bit short, just under 1k.

what's the point in feeling guilty if you can't repent? what's the point in apologizing if you know for a fact that no forgiveness will be bestowed upon you?

boothill, the legendary cyborg gunslinger hailing from your little planet in the corner of the cosmos, and someone whom you've stood by proudly. someone who you've once called your lover, someone who was once the home you returned to every night.

the smell of dynamite, of charred crops, of burning flesh, all of it still remains fresh in your mind; if you close your eyes long enough, you can almost feel the flames on your skin, taking you, too, into its warm embrace.

it would've been a fitting end.

you remained on aeragan-epharshel after the ipc's raid

whether out of your own will or a twisted turn of fate, you cannot say

you can't ever dream of atoning for what you've done, anyways

when explosives cased in metal descended upon your planet, you were safely hidden away in one of the ipc's ships

because you shook hands with them

you played buddy-buddy with the destroyers of your world

why

why.

why?

you can't say for sure, and you weren't even sure if you knew what motivated you

money? power? connections? petty revenge? 

you didn't know – you don't know

when you found out that boothill had taken on the skin of an ipc employee to seek the blood of the true perpetrator, you knew.

not of the intention behind your actions, but of the consequences. your own undoing.

the village hunter that everyone admired, the man whose heart you wished to know, the family man who loved without regrets…

you killed him. you stripped him of his world when you threw yours away. you were an accomplice.

the coward that you are, you didn't tell him

how could you?

he's lost everything, and you want to kick him when he's down?

so you kept your mouth shut – still keeps it shut

you've taken up the post of a leader, looking after whatever remains of your civilization

no one knows of your involvement in the destruction of their livelihoods

so much so that sometimes you can almost delude yourself into thinking you've never done anything wrong

almost

until you see the fire in the fireplace, remembering the carnage that you indirectly caused

and you feel like you could die, let the heat take you to a faraway place to never return

but you're not selfish enough to do that. to die here is to run away, forsaking the people who were lost, and forsaking those who still remain. an act of cowardice – and that's exactly what you are, isn't it?

no one needs to know of your sin, and no one needs to know what occupies your troubled mind. your repentance doesn't need to be known by anyone but you, because you're selfish. you don't want to face the consequences of your own actions, you don't want to face the wrath of your neighbors, you don't want boothill to inevitably point his gun at you.

whenever you imagine his hatred directed towards you…

the same hatred that drives his hunt for oswaldo, aimed at you…

you feel your very existence being ripped into pieces

even so, you wouldn't blame him

you can't blame him

it's all your fault, your fault, your fault, so who else is there to blame but you?

every time someone in your settlement thanks you for coordinating resource exchanges with other settlements, you can barely muster up enough strength to nod

when the elderly hold your hand and tell you how nice it is to have young people stick around…

you can't say a word

you can't even breathe, because you'd cry the moment you opened your mouth

they're thanking the wrong person

you're the sinner who they should never forgive

the one whose actions triggered it all

you idly scribble away at your desk, noting down the schedules of the black ore miners, the routine inspections, whenever a bigshot comes by… all for the tiniest hope that this will eventually serve boothill in some way.

in fact, you've been gathering a lot of these things. the ipc's technologies, gossips, performance reviews, the mundane things, you've been documenting all of them. 

when boothill returns to aeragan-epharshel for whatever reason, you'll find it in yourself to face him again. this time as an ally; you'll act for his cause, walk by his side, while you maintain the distance that you've placed between you.

you have no right to take his hand again

you've alienated yourself, you've chosen the path you want to take – a path for one, and one only

so you won't claim to be lonely.

you're not lonely at all.

your duty still calls for you

there are still things that you must do before you can rest

you, you, you… you alone.

when you don't see a future for yourself, you can only pray that such fate doesn't befall someone else. 

your roads have diverged too far to be reconciled. boothill as a galaxy ranger, and you, as a mere leader of a local tribe who carries the weight of your transgressions.

you sit alone at the cliff where you once watched countless sunrises and sunsets, where there used to be a time where someone was next to you, where you laughed innocently like foolish children.

as you reminisce, you feel glad

glad that you haven't held him down with the weight of your guilt

glad that you haven't been a burden to him

glad that you let him go when you did

you'll always be here, you think, waiting for his return

just as the sun still rise and set every day

your lives go on, until they converge again

if second chances do exist…

if the aeons have answered his anguish… then let your repentance be heard, too.

gods i've been thinking so hard about pjo and, yk, eyes... about different points of views — different views of life, even.

about aphrodite kids who need only a single glance to see every single connection you've ever maintained in your life. who look at you and see who your heart belongs to, what it longs for. who see the world in these rose colored lenses they don't even know they're wearing, because seeing the world in shades of other people's love just feels so right.

about zeus kids who can see the sparks flying in the air seconds before lightning strikes. who hear the buzz of domestic appliances because what is electricity if not the modern form of lighting? who see the markings on other people's bodies, declaring where bolts — even the small ones, even the ones we don't feel — have ever touched them.

about ares kids and how they gave life to seeing red; eyes always clouded in all shades of burgundy and maroon and strawberry red under the sun. who look at someone and can immediately tell what angers them, what pushes the wrong buttons, and then do it anyways. who can see weapons before they can see the enemy, who are never caught by surprise in a fight.

anyways i could go on for days but i just... i can't stop thinking about them.

It's nice to see a bunch that were on last year's list actually got brought over or are in the process of coming over.

...seriously, KT, please bring Ciel Nosurge DX/Ar Nosurge DX over.
