#Day 5: Scars

[queercontrarian]

one more sweet boy to be butchered by men

@cassianappreciationweek Day 5: Scars

some scars take a very long time to heal.

title from hozier's swan upon leda

for this prompt i wanted to explore a confrontation between a grown up cassian and his child self, a past that is so far removed from him yet one that still heavily affects him over five hundred years later. a little boy forced to fend for himself and a general putting weapons into the hands of children just like him. how can his scars heal when he sees the same wounds reflected in his people every day?

for some reason i feel like the sketch just hits harder. if you're interested in that drawing you can find it under the cut here

The Phantom of the Opera

My treat for 2024 Blitzbee Week!

Day 5: Scars

@blitzbee-week

Summary:

A little walk that turned into a chaotic role-playing of a humans’ musical, that almost caused serious consequences.

P.S. The fiction comes with two songs in “The Phantom of the Opera (original London Cast)”:

“The Music of the Night” and “The Point of No Return”

I wrote this while listening to these songs. You’re highly recommended to listen to them as you read (the later half of the story in particular). ;)

The story came from a headcanon of @xiaoddexingjiutang Thanks for your brilliant idea!

P.P.S I really love Bee learning to be the harbor of Blitzwing’s madness. And, Beeverse Blitzy is reaaaally maaad.

P.P.P.S. I actually don’t like the musical itself very much, plot-wise. However, I think the musical serves as a perfect backdrop.

Day 5: katara keeps her scars

They're comparing scar-care tips, and she's just making sure that Zuko is following her care instructions. Clearly, he isn't, because the scar on his chest is dry but also hot and maybe wet? Who knows.

Another one for the archive. @zutaramonth

I also want to take a moment to say how lovely this fandom is. I love you guys. We will never let anyone cut up our sails.

But why does pain always come in the end?

Transcript:

[After a few months, everything started going downhill. You could say my Dad started disappearing]

[Not entirely though. Our morning routine was normal and I'd get dropped off at school by my Mum. Usually, my Dad's workday ends at the same time as school finishes, so he'd come to pick me up. But he began missing those. I didn't know what he was doing or where he was. Probably work. To this day I still don't know]

[It got to the point where this was happening frequently. I lied to my teachers and said I had permission from both my parents to walk home by myself, and that I only lived around the corner. An 8-year-old walking 30 minutes home, alone through the busy city streets. Any adult would be concerned if they knew]

[No one was there when I got home. I'd spend a few hours alone waiting for my parents and always my Dad came back first. He'd come home frustrated either ignore my existence or shout at me. Sometimes he'd start swearing or hitting stuff. I stayed far away. And when my Mum came home, he was completely normal]

[I started becoming afraid of him. He showed a split personality and I was the only one who knew it then. I was scared of telling anyone and kids were whispering about me. That's why I lied to my teachers to get out of there quickly. What if I told them the truth? Would things have turned out differently if I did?]

Whumptober #5

Trope of the day: healing salve

_

The weather always gets them, Caretaker knows this. Whumpee's scars act up when it gets colder, throbbing and hurting, making their movements slower.

Today is no different as Whumpee sits on the bed, trying to get up. Caretaker can see that they are pretending everything is fine, but they know better. They always do.

"Lie down," they say, and Whumpee opens their mouth to say something. "I know you're hurting. Just lie down."

A small grunt of protest, but Whumpee does as they are told. Caretaker helps them pull up their shirt a little, revealing the scars on their back. "What are you doing?"

"Trying something out. Got a new salve that might ease the pain a little," they explain and open the small container. "Careful, might be a bit cold."

Whumpee softly flinches underneath their fingers, but once they start spreading the salve, they start to relax. Their skin is thick and scared, but the tension finally leaves their muscles.

It's the first time Caretaker sees them calm - despite of the weather.

Since valentines day is getting closer I thought I'd share this little thought:

Aroace scar who prepares little notes and letters for all his friends. He gets them all flowers and chocolate or other snacks and then he goes one by one and gives them all their little gift, he hugs them and tells them how much he appreciates them.

Scar, Grian and Mumbo then hang out for the rest of the day together, watching movies and just spending the day together.

I think it should be more normalized spending valentines day with your best friend or family and not just a romantic partner.

So anyway scar does exactly that! He spends the day with his friends and they just appreciate each other and spend the day just having fun doing whatever.

(Scar also definitely gives them cheek kisses and lots of hugs and cuddles)

Suptober 2024, Day 5: Scars

It's the only scar that didn't heal.

When the syringe would fail to give Asmodeus the high he was looking for, the knife came out. Shallow cuts across his neck over and over, more and more of his soul falling into that demon.

He's learned to keep his chin down. Better to seem distant than to have to keep explaining to people what happened to him.

Skizz Week 2 day 5! This one is short and sweet! Just the hermits being helpful in the silliest ways. As always, thank you to @skizzlemanweek for today's prompt!

Prompt 5: Work / Rest

The first thing he notices is the darkness. His base is completely coated in it, which he finds pretty strange. Usually, he can see moonlight peaking through the various openings to his base, or at least one torch somewhere! Actually, how did he even get in bed? He doesn't remember going to sleep last night. Eh, he's not slept at all lately, so a memory gap isn't the most unimaginable thing.

The second thing he notices is that he's tied to the bed, but not uncomfortably so. He can still shift around and even grab things on the nightstand next to him. Whoever tied him here clearly took great care in doing it, even using softer leads and knots to make sure his skin wouldn't be rubbed red. Heck, there's even a few extra pillows strategically placed so he won't hurt his back or neck! How sweet!

The third thing he notices is that someone is in the room with-

WAIT.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" He eloquently yells as he sits straight up, now fully awake and aware. And tied to his bed. HE'S TIED TO HIS BED???

In the darkness, three instantly recognizable laughs taunt him. One of them lights a torch, and yep. Just as he suspected. It's Gem, Grian and Scar. His fellow Magic Mountain people have betrayed him!

He scowls at them, which makes them laugh harder.

"Awww, don't look so grumpy! It's not helping with the wrinkles," Gem says with a wink. Little does she know that he's fighting for his life to hold that scowl on his face. Watching his friends laugh makes him want to laugh, okay? Even if they're laughing at him tied up on his own bed.

Grian approaches him, finally getting himself together after having had the laugh of his life. Skizz raises an eyebrow, and Grian only grins. "It's for your best, homie buddeah!"

"Oh yeah, for my best, totally. I'm not buying that for a second, G!" Skizz counters, crossing his arms. He's grateful that he always sleeps with something on, otherwise this would have been way more awkward. For them, not for him!

Gem walks to stand beside Grian. "It is, though! I found you passed out on top of your pyramid yesterday! ON TOP! How- How did you even do that?!"

Oh, so that's what this is about. How much he's been working lately

Well… Erm…. UHMMMMMM… Shit, they kinda have a point.

"I plead the fifth!" He squeaks, knowing he's been cornered. Gem gives him the most unimpressed look. "You're going to stay in this bed for today. No working! We don't want you to get sick again!" She says with an accusatory point.

Now, normally Skizz would fight this. Say that he's got everything under control. But honestly, he is really tired.

"Fineeeeeee. Only because you asked so nicely," he surrenders. They've gone through all the effort to make sure he's comfortable and also they TIED HIM TO HIS BED. Might as well take advantage of it.

"Wait wait wait! We're not done yet!" G interrupts, before he points to Scar. "We're not gonna leave you tied to your bed alone. Scar is gonna stay and make sure you don't try anything."

"Hey! You told me I was gonna get to talk about the Sequal trilogy and that new Outlaws game-!"

"SHHHHH YOU'RE SPOILING IT!"

Skizz rolls his eyes. Of course. He'd been goading Scar into his rant-able topics lately just to piss off Grian.

"You know this is not very good revenge, right? I like listening to Scar talk about what he loves!" He points out. He doesn't like how Grian gets an evil glint in his eyes.

"Well, you keep saying that…So we're gonna put it to the test. We'll leave Scar here with you, and see how long it takes until you break. Your comm is on your nightstand for when you give up."

Now this is something Skizz can get behind! A challenge where he basically does nothing and wins!

"Bring it on, G!" He smugly comments, knowing that he's using the tone that will activate Grians own competitiveness. He sees it work in action as the avian's face hardens.

"You guys are..something special alright," Gem comments with the most deadpan tone.

Grian grabs her shoulder and pushes her towards the exit. "You two have fun! See ya!" is the last he gets out before both he and Gem leave Skizz's base.

Scar and Skizz meet eyes.

"Between you and me, Skizzy, I know they put me here to make sure I didn't try to work, either. They're not very subtle." Scar says with a wink.

A hint of surprise crosses Skizz's face. "Really?" Scar nods in response.

"You don't have to stay here if you don't want to, I can just-"

"Nonsense!" Scar cries out, wheeling himself closer to Skizz's bed. "I wasn't going to get any work done anyway, and now instead of being bored in my base, I get to hang out with Skizzy Wizzy! Now, don't you think it's really stupid that Disney made Kylo Ren and Rey kiss-"

And the conversation goes from there. Back and forth, back and forth. Star Wars to TOOL to Watches to Poker and on and on and on. For any other Hermit, it would probably be a nightmare scenario. But for these two talkative nerds, it's a dream come true.

If this is what constitutes "mandatory rest" on Hermitcraft, Skizz can't help but feel even more grateful that he gets to be in such a wonderful place, with such wonderful people.

Hi so i found this post about a reinsuba soulmate au? but I can't remember the name of it I don't remember the person who posted it I've search everywhere for but can't find it I only remember some of it I think it was a soulmates has the others scars there was also a were reinhard is desperately searching for his soulmate because they were fine just a awhile ago and suddenly they just started getting the scars and doesn't know it's Subaru because of return by death I think The scars are in gold on the other soulmate? I think I saw your name somewhere it's fine if you don't know but if you do know please let me know.

OH i absolutely know which post youre talking about!! it was an idea on the fanfic thread a few months ago, and i do sometimes go on rezero reddit so i contributed to some of the ideas in this thread here.

yeah so for everyone else who doesn't know - the fanfic/AU idea was basically that soulmate pairs get each others scars (physical OR psychological) in gold on their skin. think of it like kintsugi art, where you repair broken pottery by filling in the breaks with gold -

like this basically!! (meaning subaru might notice the similarities between the whole soulmate system and kintsugi itself yes)

yeah so to summarize all the ideas me and a few other people had in that thread, basically reinhard and subaru are soulmates (this can be platonic or romantic or however youd like to see it). reinhard takes on ALL of subarus physical and psychological scars so reinhard's basically Covered in them. meanwhile because reinhard doesnt physically scar, subaru only gets psychological ones - a collar mark around his neck to symbolize the collar of submission (a collar the kingdom puts on reinhard to suppress his powers; reinhard isnt allowed to leave the country without this collar on), and later in arc 5, subaru also gets a giant slash mark across his chest (to symbolize reinhard's death in arc 5). subaru's physical scars are self-explannatory - the psychological ones though include markings around the lips (for the rbd taboo :(( ) and a handprint on his chest right over his heart (because. satella/witch of envy).

meanwhile reinhard is guilt stricken because oh god my soulmate is SUFFERING and i cant even save them :(( i cant even find them!!! but at least i can take on all the burden of their scars for them ahahah i deserve this. and then reinhard looks over at subaru and goes hm. a collar mark. reminds me of the collar of submission :(((( but i cant possibly be subaru's soulmate!!! slavery is unfortunately commonplace in this world, subaru, perhaps you should go look in kararagi? :<<< so then reinhard ends up going on a wild goose chase for a soulmate that was LITERALLY right in front of him. subaru either doesnt notice the growing scars on reinhard until later (because they dont see each other very often) orrrr subaru is sweating buckets because he of course cant explain ALL of those scars so hes like haha im gonna keep quiet until i figure out how to break the news.

but then reinhard dies in front of subaru in arc 5 and then subaru watches as not only does reinhard come back to life, a new golden slash mark appears across subaru's torso that perfectly matches the wound reinhard just died from.....

yeah anyway!!! im quite fond of soulmate aus actually and this idea is particularly fun yes :o both in concept and aesthetically. ive always rotated a bunch of different rezero soulmate aus in my head and this idea is pretty cool i think!!
