Beautiful City
Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where people sleep on cardboard boxes showered with spit from a dirty look of a man in suit, Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where people line up for scraps we know as jobs and promised a morsel of bread and the rest to for taxes, Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where potholes are like…

For the record, you can pry my “Sarai used to be in the Crownguard before she married Harrow” headcanon from my cold, dead hands
Amaya trained the Standing Battalion and Sarai trained the Crownguard, and their ability to work together is why Katolis had the strongest fighting force in the Pentarchy
You can also pry “Sarai and Soren were insanely close before her death” from my cold, dead hands. Maybe not even then, because I’m gripping this idea tightly, even in death
Sarai helped Soren and his family manage his illness because of her experience with Damian. And Soren was just so excited that the Head Crownguard was hanging out with him! Even when he was at his worst, he’d always perk up if he could see Sarai train the soldiers from his bedroom window, or regale him with stories of legendary battles at his bedside
After Soren got better and Sarai left the Crownguard to become Princess of Katolis, she offered to show him the basics of swordplay and strategy to help Soren with all of his pent-up energy. Even though he wouldn’t be interested in poetry until years later, Soren was introduced to the concept through Sarai, who’d recite some of Damian’s old work for him during their time together. Sarai had essentially become one of Soren’s constants after his family fell apart with Lissa leaving, Viren growing cold, and Claudia throwing herself into magic
At least until she died, heroically saving his dad

Happy Pride! This might sound ridiculous, but Gene helped me understand genderfluidity a lot just by… being himself. Of course we love those moments where Gene expresses femininity, but it’s in these moments too where he’s celebrating being a bro with Logan. Gene is Gene no matter what gender he’s enjoying at that moment. This isn’t to say gender headcanons can’t differ from mine, I’m just grateful to Gene’s character for giving me more perspective

wanderer isn't crazy about history, but he does reminiscent about it a lot.
he's not of or in inazuma anymore but it's still a big part of who he is, a part of him that as much as he wants to let go, he can't because it's already deeply intergrated into him ever since he was born.
being back in inazuma would bring him nothing but painful memories back (really guilty as i mained him and a lot of my commissions are in inazuma) but he can't help but enjoys the beauty of the nation and the way the cherry blossom blows along with the wind.
it's not that he hates inazuma as a whole but he does have complex feelings when the topic is brought up-- its very evident even in the outfit he wears he still somewhat hold inazuma close to his heart, even if he's not physically or considered himself belongs there anymore.
"I am not there anymore, but it is still an essential part of me"
oh on a topic of this-- ever since i read about his character story where he tried to recreated the doll and is now carrying it along with him in his sleeve, i just have this very big headcanon about him being good at arts and craft-- specifically creating dolls or small little trinkets, something that he shares with ei-- caring for the smallest details, making sure all and everything is as perfect as how his mind wanted it to be.
at first i think, when he was still in the fatui, its something he refrained himself of doing-- seemingly way too troubled by his past that doing any and all things reminded him of his estranged creator would bring him immense emotional pain-- however, now that he has gotten a new life, he begins to make that talent of his in his own way-- making it his own, his own way of crafting, his own technique, his own process-- all differs from her's because he refused to abandoned something he enjoyed just because of his past...
"I do not attach myself to it, but i do find fondness in doing it"

idek why but this is Peak Romance(TM)
#the ending of Emma! is so warm and so funny#and so good#every emotional beat is so true#I also love the part where Emma learns that Harriet is engaged and she’s so overflowing with happiness#because one of her two obstacles to happiness has been removed#(And she’s working on the other obstacle her dad)#and it says she has to move around and talk to herself and laugh before she can be around anyone again#and I just—-aksjsjjsjdjdjdjd#I love it SO much. I have experienced that before!!!#just times where the overflow of happiness makes you so giddy and almost foolish you have to be alone#ALSO. I’ve been reflecting because years ago I read a piece of literary criticism that said that Emma never learns or changes#she’s Sad and forced to face the consequences of her Actions for like one afternoon#and then everything she wants to happen happens#and she gets to sort of just dance away with a sparkle in her eye#and the criticism was like ‘good for her but this is not a journey of change or growth’#and I’ve always been haunted by it because there is something true about it? Emma is still Emma is still Emma#and also because when I teach it I sort of have to be like ‘Emma has changed! and feels bad about stuff!’ because that’s just kind of#how you have to do it with teenagers/and/or it’s what THEY say#and I can’t contradict them but it doesn’t feel exactly true either#and I don’t know. it’s sort of hitting me this time around that there is just a deepening of Emma’s sweetness#in the second half of the novel and that’s why it always feels so warm#like. with Lizzy the change is so big you can absolutely feel it! it’s undeniable and it rocks her entire (internal) world#Darcy’s letter forces a change in her worldview. in her views of her family and her sisters and Wickham and Jane and just everything#but the box hill scene isn’t that with Emma —but it does pierce through …. something#some kind of flippancy maybe? coldness? she IS more likable in the second half of the book#and yet she is no different. idk I’m struggling to name it exactly#maybe it is a kind of growing up. it never feels quite as simple or as obvious as ‘now she has learned and will never do it again’#I actually think Emma will do it again a LOT lol (the small joke about shipping Mrs. Weston’s daughters with her nephews that Austen makes)#but it’s like—-the lifeblood of her heart has started flowing differently—if that makes sense#she crosses a threshold on the drive home from Box Hill when she sits in the back of the carriage and cries silently
