Why are you running?

A little idea while I work on something else involving these two that hopefully I am able to get out soon.

It was more a picture than a proper coat of arms, and the sight of it took her back through the long years, to the cool dark of her father’s armory. She remembered how she’d run her fingertips across the cracked and fading paint, over the green leaves of the tree, and along the path of the falling star. - AFFC Brienne II.

oh omegadrew.... how i missed you

Me after chapter 201 (What took you)

So, about Ando. (And his contradictions) huh.

We start of with the most important thing, Sakamoto telling Ikari that she's a creep. (Thank you Taro, she really is. ) Before Shin picks up Andos weapon to threaten him.

It's clear that the stress of the whole situation is just getting to much to bottle up finally. He sneaked on the cruise to find him, in hope to reconcile with him. He's been on his own for FOUR YEARS, looking for information about Ando. Mind you, since he was only 9. He's barely even a teenager with 13 right here. He probably slept on the streets, and who knows what he had to deal with. He's skinny and probably doesn't get to eat regularly. Same for his eyebags, he probably can't find a safe spot often enough. (Not to forget the insane sensory overload he must feel compared to the underground lab. And I don't just mean his ESP with that.)

He's angry. His hopes for connection got crushed with his own father trying to kill him (multiple times). He's scared because at this moment he's probably convinced he will forever be alone. He's tired and probably hungry. He's overwhelmed so he points the gun at Ando.

Now Taro is trying to stop him, but mostly because he still wants to avoid the bomb going off. (Or so it seems at least) The fact that Ando has to die is less of a question for Taro, he's still his target. It's just a question of when and by who I think. He, already, doesn't want Shin to kill someone in anger. And although we can't see his thoughts here, he probably also doesn't want Shin to be the one to kill Ando specifically.

Now. Important is also that Shin only actually shot because Ikari scared him.

He says himself, he didn't mean to. He really just wanted to force an apology out of Ando. And as a child, that grew up on his own around violence, the threat of violence was probably the most obvious answer to do so. And yet, he didn't actually want to shot. He's a child, he's scared. And because he's scared, he physically jolted when Ikari started shouting and pressed the trigger. It's all inhis eyes. He didn't expect the bullet to come out. He didn't want to do this.

Now. Well. Ando. We have a short insight in Andos mind. While Ikari is trying to attack Shin, before he jumps between them to save Shin.

He's thinking about spending 13 years to escape the JAA, all because he saved Shin as Al Kamaar as a baby, only for Shin to show up with a hitman and mess it all up. And it very much sounds like he still resents Shin for it. He even thinks that he shoul've let him die as a baby. (In the official manga plus translation. In another translation he evn thinks about killing Shin as a baby.) And well, he then saves Shin, only getting injured even more.

And this is all just contradicting itself. Andos words and thoughts and actions. He talks about saving Shin as a baby, but who put him in Al Kamaar in the first place? He saves him, but who tried to kill him a few minutes ago? Who let Shin be thrown overboard a few chapters ago? (And it's very likely that Ando did that in order for Shin to have a chance of survival, somehow.)

One moment he resents Shin, in the next his parental instincts seem to show through after all. (And has Ando figured out that Shin can read minds? He seems to be Intentionally thinking those words here. This could support the theory that Shins powers are actually born, andAsakuras potion just triggered them accidentally.)

All in all, I'm pretty sure that Ando might be mentally unstable. (I mean, who isn't in Sakamoto Days. And at one point Ando mentions being soft in the head, which is probably just a throw away line. But who knows.) His mind can't settle between an urge to protect and resent Shin. It was probably a moment of clarity, that made Ando drop Shin of at Asakuras lab. And even though they already didn't seam to have seen each other for a long time at that point, he seemed to know that Asakura would take care of Shin/protect him. Even when Asakura would complain about it. (He also talks about "What would Asakura think about this?" when Shin is pointing the gun at him. Which makes Shin angry. This seems to be directed at Shin, but it might as well be directed at himself. Because what would his old friend think about him trying to kill the child he left in hi ssafety all those years ago? Surely nothing good.)

Shin is rightfully upset about all of this, curling up in himself. Because Ando couldn't even say those words about Shin having grown so much out loud. Now. Taro reminds us though that there's still a bomb on the ship, that will explode the moment Ando dies. (Is it like linked to his heartbeat? What.) Telling Shin to keep him alive long enough for him to find and dissarm the bomb.

When Shin says he's going with him to help, because the engine bay is to big, Taro actually tells Shin to stay back and use the remaining time he got left with his dad. Which... well. In the end Taro seems to understand that Ando is still important to Shin in some way. It's an absolutely messy situation in so many ways. Also because, again, the only reason they meet was because it was Taros job to kill Ando. But he wants Shin to be able to at least say goodbye to Ando. (Something Taro couldn't when Rion died.) But Ando also knows that Taro probably won't be able to find the bomb, which would mean Shins death as well if the ship explodes. So, seemingly set on wanting Shin to live in the end he decides to tell Shin the bombs location. And to go with him, while he will hang on until he gets back.

Which he probably won't. I think he just doesn't want Shin to see the moment he dies. Not to forget that Taro would protect Shin if the bomb goes off after all. In the end, his parental instincts are trying to protect Shin. Both physically, and mentally. Even if it's way to late for that.

Well. I'm definitely crying. This is all a huge mess. Taro, please get your newly adopted son to therapy instead of teaching him how to be an assasin.

❀ ˎˊ- prompt: you question yaoshi after they gift the xianzhou immortality ❀ ˎˊ- yaoshi x gn!reader ❀ ˎˊ- wc: 640 ❀ ˎˊ- warnings: possibly ooc yaoshi, written before yaoshi speaks more than two sentences in the entire game, spoilers for honkai star rail ❀ ˎˊ- a/n: was supposed to start writing for genshin but then yaoshi rizzed me up im sorry guys ❀ ˎˊ- img credits

"Why did you do that?"

Standing by the Aeon's side, your tone was withdrawn, yet curious. Shrouded in starlit clouds, the two of you watched as the Xianzhou ships sailed off into the distance, blessed and cursed with hope and immortality.

Your Aeon hummed to themselves, their voice sickly sweet as nectar, but did not speak yet. You crossed your arms, fixing them with a steady glare.

"That immortality you gave them," you continued, "you do know its consequences, no?"

Yaoshi raised their head, that ever-sweet smile still on their face. You frowned.

"You gave them a curse," you accused.

Their countless eyes, carved into their skin, flickered to you, fixing you with their eternal gaze. One of their many hands reached out and cradled your face within its hands, careful not to scratch you with their sharpened nails.

"Perhaps," they mused, brushing a stray lock of hair from your face. Despite your interrogation, Yaoshi was unphased, tranquil, calm. "Does that displease you?"

You met their gaze, a gaze that would've brought thousands of mortals to their knees, with nothing more than a blank stare.

"No."

Yaoshi smiled, something akin to laughter escaping their lips. "Then why question me?"

"Mortals are curious," you replied, watching as Yaoshi took your chin between their fingers, their thumb swiping over your lips. "I may not be one now, but I still retain their traits."

"Mm." Yaoshi tilted their head, watching for even a trace of a reaction. But you gave none. They didn't mind, though. Mortals were fascinating creatures, and you were no different. Getting you to break was always an entertaining game.

"They are resigned to a cruel fate," they spoke gingerly, smooth as silk. "Confined to such a short lifespan, unable to spread their wings and fly across the skies like they were meant to."

"Humans don't have wings," you said, raising a brow.

"Not yet." Yaoshi silenced you, closing your lips with their thumb. "But they can learn to. Now that time is their luxury, those wings can finally begin to unfurl."

Gently, you grabbed their wrist, stilling their fingers so that you could speak.

"Have you tried becoming a playwright?" you asked. "You've gotten quite good at flowery words."

"You think so?" Yaoshi pressed a hand to their cheek, smiling innocently. "A compliment from you is quite rare. I'll treasure this moment for centuries."

"I was calling you a liar," you sighed, exasperated yet used to their antics.

"A cruel claim," they replied, their other arms wrapping around your waist, "for an act of generosity."

"They'll become twisted," you said as they pulled you into their lap, your hand on their chest. "It's a cruel gift."

"But a gift nevertheless." They cradled you against them, looking down so that your noses brushed together. "I merely delivered what was asked of me. Whatever happens now, is a result of the fate they wove with their own hands."

"If you say so," you murmured, tilting your head, your lips almost meeting theirs - but still apart. Yaoshi giggled at your actions, heeding your silent request.

They kissed you softly, holding the back of your head to keep you in place. Pulling away, they licked their lips.

"Insatiable," they whispered. It seemed that every part of you was held in their hands, from the plush of your thighs to the back of your waist, and of course your face. "The Path of Abundance yields boundless grain and dew, and yet it cannot fill in what you have given me."

"Is that a compliment?" you asked, resting your head against their collarbone. Yaoshi did not answer, only stroked your head as you rested against them.

And from your divine throne, you watched. Watched as the Xianzhou ships disappeared into the cosmos, embarked on a future of pain and suffering.

You closed your eyes, content.

this is how he fake-flirts ... it doesn't. work [🇺🇸 x 🇧🇾]

i think their relationship is based on mutual attraction, revulsion, and self-deceit. america is convincing himself that "winning" belarus' affections will be easy and that he's just in it to spite russia, meanwhile she's playing pseudo-flirtatious passive aggressive mind games with him on a level beyond comprehension.

it gets really uncomfortable for both of them really fast and so he kicks her out. ^^

[itslikeababywithamustache]

I gotta be honest, I know Skylar was born to be a Superhero™️ and everything so she's very much into the mature and Responsible actions most of the time bc she was literally raised from birth like that.....

But she's also from a planet where powers are just A Normal Thing You're Born With (and mostly hung around other superheroes when she left, most who also had powers), so I'm sorry I just don't buy her thinking they are a "special gift you shouldn't use outside of saving people".

If they're a normalized thing in your society then it's perfectly normal to also just?? use a power that makes something easier?

Like some heroes "powers" are just "they are aliens with different anatomy that gives them advantages over humans", that's not really a "power", it's just who they are. Can't expect them to not use that anatomy outside of heroing.

And I feel like if on your planet, your people have an inate ability to harness energy, or manipulate matter, that just comes from existing on that planet or growing up in your society.... it's the same thing.

So from her perspective I don't get why she would take that stance of "they're a gift, don't use them like that".
