#｢ ✯ demon...begone! 」

[proxycrit]

Elesa climbs to celestial tower to ring the bell. Emmet, stuck in between the distortion world, finds his way home.

Part 1/ Part 2

The conductor falls, down, down, down.

“What’s my name?” He calls to the abyss in terror (what is terror?)

He’s a singular being, right? (That’s not right. He’s one of a pair.)

The abyss gazes back. It has no answers to give, in its multitude.

Not to someone that’s so, so alone.

———

Somewhere else, one Elesa of Nimbasa rings the Celestial Tower’s Bell, over and over. Her companion, Chandelure, keeps watch.

Nothing happens.

Elesa’s stomach sinks. The reverberations of Celestial Tower’s brass bell mocks her in its echo. The vibrations of it’s distortion only makes the tears she tries to hold at bay worse.

In the blur of her failure, she sees chandelure’s flames suddenly die. Part of her panics.

The rest of her is apathetic and numb.

What’s the point? It didn’t work. Elesa closes her eyes. Tries to swallow, and fails. She’s so tired. She’s so, so tired. The deal with Azelf, the media storm she’s weathered, the constraints of her job, the almost loss of chandelure-

Emmet has been gone for three months. Ingo has been gone even longer.

They have gone where she can’t follow.

Elesa, the ghost whispers in her head. Elesa shakes her head in denial. She doesn’t want to plan right now. She wants to curl into herself, and disappear, just for a bit.

Elesa!

“I can’t do this,” she croaks. The sob in the back of her throat bubbles outwards. She wants Zebrstika. She wants Skyla. She wants her friends.

The paliphet Azelf forced her forward. It permeates her thoughts, drowning out logical thought.

(Too much willpower, and it will become an obsession, Azelf had warned her once in Ingo’s voice. And then, in Emmet’s voice: And when you fail, it willll break you. And finally, in her own voice: you will not have a choice but to move forward, with this curse.

I accept, elesa and told it back in the lake.)

I’m so tired, Elesa thinks now, two months later.

But she keeps moving forward. The bell rings again as Elesa strikes it, with all the hurt and rage and longing forced by her own hand into her soul-

-And that’s when chandelure screams, and there is a terrible rolling crack, and Elesa feels the sudden lurch in her gut as she looks up, her apathy torn into shreds as-

The sky tears open in a fractal wave.

Elesa gapes.

She can not comprehend the sudden black webbing across the sky. In the distance, sirens suddenly start wailing as people stop to perceive the impossible.

But Elesa does not care, because in that moment, the wrench in her gut is so great she almost staggers off the platform. Chandelure is by her side in an instant, her glass body a warm comfort to the sudden chill, because-

Something white is falling.

Elesa’s doesn’t know what she yells. But the tug in her chest feels like the beat of a drum, and she is helpless to the melody that calls for action.

Azelf’s blessed takes a leaping step forward, off the building. Chandelure lets out a panicked chime and the warmth of psychic cradles Elesa as she reaches out, arms outstretched, falling and flying and-

And Emmet, sparking with white electricity, reaches back.

NOTES:

AU’s Salvaging the Ship of Theseus! Everybody has a Bad Time. (Emmet and Eelektross go to Hisui and learn about the joys of the distortion world. Elesa hunts legends and makes bad deals. Ingo babysits some sneaslets.)

Backstory and explanation:

Prior this scene, Emmet was travelling Hisui with Eelektross before he falls through a mirror and becomes lost in the distortion world for a month. Elesa and Chandelure, meanwhile, refuse to give up on their remaining friend. (Ingo’s fine! He’s in Hisui right now trying to get fired so he can go searching for his memories. Eelektross is… less fine. We will Worry about That Later.)

Disclaimers: Everything’s a work in progress and subject to change!

Part 2!

crying and shaking and trembling Is This Tide. Is This Supposed To Be Tide Lambert. that is not Tide Lambert that is a sixteen year old boy named some shit like Elijah or Zachary who vapes half a foot away from every entryway and blows his vape cloud in people’s faces. this guy would see a kid with brightly coloured hair and call them a slur. this guy would call the cops on a person talking to themself on public transport and then turn around and pickpocket an old lady just because he thinks it’s funny. this guy is going to join a fraternity in college and later in life he will think of his days of partying and drinking as his peak. this is a nepo baby who will inherit his dad’s business and drive it into the ground because he never paid attention in his business courses in college. That’s Not My Dad

[ghostlygeto]

warnings: nsfw under the cut, mdni, bokuto is needy…., calls you “baby”, idk bo is horny and wants to smash fast ok , unprotected piv, very non-descriptive

bokuto koutaro who is without a doubt the needy one in your relationship. you love him for it, you love everything about him. but sometimes his neediness can be a little…much.

bokuto koutaro who returns home from volleyball practice sweaty and tired, whining the second he enters your shared space about how badly he missed you.

“can’t help it,” kotaro defended himself, “his face pressed into your neck as he already had you pinned to the closest wall. he inhaled, taking in the overwhelming smell of you before speaking again. “i missed you so bad today.” “i missed you too, kou.” you run your fingers through the hair at the base of his scalp, “go clean up, yeah? then we can eat dinner and spend as much time together as you want.” kotaro whined slightly, a proper whine. “we can get cleaned up after. i want you so bad, baby. please?” his mouth found its way to your throat, pressing quick open mouthed kisses around. you said yes, of course, and he wasted no time. the scene went exactly as you’d expect. back on the couch, clothing haphazardly pushed out of the way so bokuto could rut into you an uneven pace, panting into your neck the whole time as you let out those pretty little moans he loves so much. even after a long day of volleyball practice, bokuto had the energy to quickly draw out an orgasm from you. he was fast to follow, pulling out to release his warm cum onto your stomach. bokuto quickly took off his shirt to clean himself off your tummy, his cheeks flushed red and the same smile he always wore when he had just finished having his way with you.

bokuto koutaro who the coaxed you into the shower with him, promising to tenderly wash your hair for you. which he does, only after he’s gotten at least two more orgasms from you, though.

I never thought I would ever say this about fucking Tower of all people in my over a decade of being a Sonic fan but OH MY GOD HE'S SOOOO FUCKING HOT NOW WHAT THE HELL 💀💀💀

[saitoakirachan-fangirls]

One thing that Zuko antis miss about the turtleduck scene is that Zuko visibly regrets his action the moment the bread hit the turtleduck. It's almost like he didn't actually think it would hurt the baby duck and was shocked when it did. This is not an example of him exhibiting a lack of empathy or a propensity for cruelty. I can't belive I have to say this, but Azula and Zuko already had very different personalities in childhood. Azula displayed clear affinity for anti-social behavior (low empathy, manipulative behavior) atypical for her age while Zuko didnt.

I've seen this scene being used to compare him with Azula, usually to demonize Ursa. The writer imply that her gentleness with Zuko and harshness with Azula are entirely based on her favoritism. Then they follow it up by claiming that, had Azula had her mother's love, she would've turned out just fine, but Ursa was a bad mother for favoring Zuko. The problem with this argument is that, not only does Ursa show affection for Azula, this also shifts the blame for Azula's anti-social behavior from Ozai to Ursa. It also is plain wrong so

Someone should put Aizen in a bag and send him to the Moon. This is harassment.
