Did I ever tell you I'm married to Rui Kamishiro from the hit game Project Sekai: COLORFUL STAGE!?

[writeraid]

Am I going crazy? Would I even Know? Am I right back where I started fourteen eight years ago? Wanna guess the ending? If it ever does.

'Goodbye' From Bo Burnham's 'Inside' Backstory post for my little decently okay at-her-job artifact thief (I love her so much).

This is, as mentioned, a backstory post..and of course, because Moon Knight oc it has to have some level of darkness to it, so TW/CW for mentions of: Child Abuse, (what could be seen as) Child Abandonment, Death and Illness of a loved one, and non-graphic discussion of a fictitious suicide attempt. (Just trying to cover all of my bases here.)

(For the sake of timelines, I'm saying Riley is around sixteen and a half. This may not line up perfectly with the MCU timeline, but also the MCU timeline doesn't line up with the MCU timeline so.)

Riley's legal/birth name is Rebecca. She uses the name Riley as a way to distance herself from her family and her childhood, so for the purposes of this, I'm going to call her Riley.

Riley had it good in her early years, her parents were comfortably wealthy, often going on lavish vacations around the world. She was close to her grandfather, who loved all forms of archeology and mythology but never got the chance to experience it firsthand, who she often spent her time with. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness around the time she turned nine, and this led to her family deciding to take him on one final trip to Greece, Egypt, and multiple other locations known for their ancient histories (It's late, history brain is asleep already.). At this time, her mother was on a downward spiral, becoming manipulative and emotionally abusive, often threatening her daughter with physical harm..something Riley never thought she'd actually act on...

It was while the family was in Egypt that things took a turn for the worse. Her grandfather's health hit a rapid decline prior to them leaving Greece, and he ultimately passed in a hospital in Athens. Wanting to give their daughter something else to think about, her parents didn't call off the trip, continuing on to the next country on their itinerary. Unfortunately, her grandfather's health wasn't the only thing that had gone downhill. Her mother had only grown more harsh as she had gotten older, despite having sworn to never be like her father. One night, while they were staying in Cairo, everything boiled over, and the woman's threats became a reality. Late that night, while her parents were sleeping, Riley snuck from their hotel room. Although her father wanted to stay and search for her, to bring his daughter home, her mother turned a blind eye. Riley was taken under the wing of an older Egyptian woman, who taught her how to speak Arabic (at least to be able to communicate.) and kept her fed.

...and then the blip happened around a year and a half later. The woman taking care of Riley wasn't blipped/snapped, but was a part of the loss that happened in the aftermath with car crashes and fires from unintended ovens and everything else. At age ten, Riley was left on her own. Between dealing with the trauma left by her mother, and now the death of the woman who'd been caring for her, the girl's mental health suffered. It was only a year later when she attempted to take her own life, only not succeeding because of the man who she now calls her boss, who then took her under his wing and taught her how to defend herself, and offered her her first job, stealing a piece of papyrus back from someone who had taken it from the tomb it had been found in. It was this time she began using the name Riley, and became an artifact theif.

Today, she keeps any evidence of her past close to herself. Her passsport and any other legal document with her birthname on it is like a sacred text to her, and she often hides her emotions behind a thick wall, often appearing as distant at first. Although, she does still have a small collection off cloth dolls she sometimes brings along with her on jobs that take longer than a day as a kind of comfort.

every now and then i look back on this GIF i have of nalu during tartaros arc and cry about how this particular scene alone solidifies the beauty of their relationship (natsu holding lucy's hand gently in the face of chaos and panic did wonders to my heart)

based on a realization I had recently regarding holding my cat: a humans are weird ramble

So this is a mixed-species setting, humans and at least one kind of alien. The aliens are small, perhaps knee-high, and mammalian, though not humanoid. They could be quadrupedal, or hexapedal; the specifics are not important.

Add whatever reason for Uppies. The aliens like to feel tall, they appreciate the higher vantage point, humans just like holding small furry beings, whatever. Uppies are an established thing between the groups, or perhaps just between a particular human and the aliens.

And the aliens have started to note something. Humans are frequently in motion, and not all motions have readily understandable purposes. Dancing, fidgeting, stimming, pacing— humans move, a lot, and when asked, their explanations do not always make sense to the aliens. Yet, the aliens continue to ask, trying to understand their odd friends

And the aliens have noted another form of movement for which they do not yet have a name: Sometimes, a human will shift their weight back and forth from one foot to the other, rhythmically. It is too regular a pattern to be fidgeting, and too calm. Although there are a few forms of dancing which are a similar sway, this is slower than dancing, and appears in the wrong contexts— it is not prompted by music, for one thing. The humans do not seem to acknowledge the movement in any way, neither the mover nor any other humans in the room reacting to it.

There is a correlation to the instances where a human displays this type of movement; it frequently occurs concurrently with Uppies, in particular Uppies which occur while the human is simply standing, not walking around. One alien posits that the shifting is a method to prevent human muscles from tiring during lengthy periods holding a weight, but this is countered by the observation of humans holding other objects, even objects heavier than the aliens, and how any shifting of weight during that time is usually brief, changing from one holding position to another, rather than a constant shifting back and forth.

Eventually, the aliens ask their human for an explanation.

The human does not know immediately what it is they are talking about, which aligns with the observation that no human had reacted to the movement being done. When the human does recall the motions, however, they show signs of embarrassment.

They explain: the aliens are similar in size and weight to human infants. Subconsciously, the human's body has encted the "holding a baby" protocols, and was attempting to rock the aliens to sleep.

babys first rain

[reefs-camp-blog]

sally and percy were always each other’s constants, they became a bit more distant once percy found out he was a demigod, but they were still each others firsts

then estelle was born

percy loves estelle so much, so much it physically hurts

but he sees estelle and how happy she is, how she had a mom that doesnt work the night shift nearly every night and instead is home nearly all the time, and she has a dad that’s present and there and is safe and percy is so so happy that she has what he never did

but at the same time he knows thats the exact reason why it hurts

estelle has what percys wanted his whole life

and now estelle has the only thing percy had his whole life

being his mothers first and top priority

he knows why, he understands why, estelle is a baby and needs to be cared for constantly, and percys nearly 18 and doesnt need his mom all the time anymore

but it hurts because all the food is no longer blue, it hurts because he sees estelle grow up and get help, it hurts because he sees estelle with the life he always wanted, but knows he will never had

and it hurts because hes no longer his mother’s constant.

sally has paul now, she has paul to help her through her issues and she has a child that doesnt get expelled from every school shes been in

and percy has his family. but its not the same. annabeth has always been there, but she doesnt understand, thalia has been through the same childhood as percy but she doesnt know what its like to watch the bad go to good in the same household, grover has always listened but he just doesnt understand

because hes happy estelle has the life he always wanted. hes glad his mother has the life she always wanted. but hes not in that life. because hes moving out soon. and hes no longer his mothers son, at least not in the way he was before
