#GOD I FEEL A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT THEM.

❛  i can't stop thinking about you even when i try.  ❜ / akechi for akira ehehe

Akira is aware of the guileful way that Akechi adapts to any situation handed to him with a great deal of finesse, not permitting the discerning gaze to linger too long lest it uncover apertures in his mask. It’s one of the reasons this exasperated declaration strikes a chord with him, no matter how it is disguised to be amicable, housed in the hollow amusement of his laughter, the fool recognizes it immediately. It was excruciatingly earnest, as if he were casting a supplicating gaze to that benevolent god and saying; I need this. The detective prince in that moment is a dichotomy between haunting honesty and a duplicitous facade of annoyance. Akira rests an impudent hand upon his shoulder, the smile he offers allows Akechi to glean momentary insight to the complexity that existed beyond that veneer of insouciance or tenacity.

❛ It’s relieving. ❜ his voice remains soft, as if the two of them were sharing a confession better kept clandestine. It wasn’t straying far from the truth, the two of them were, at their cores, enemies. It was peculiar then that Akira never saw him as such, if anything, the magnetism that Akechi held over him belonged more to this slither of truth than any preferable lie. ❛  To know that I take up residence in your mind, I wouldn’t want to feel that it wasn’t something that’s reciprocated.❜ and with such a profound confession, bereft of all that constituted him as a paradoxical creature, he withdrew his hand, his smile both mischievous and knowing. ❛ It would hurt my feelings otherwise. ❜  and like that they effortlessly stepped across a threshold and retraced their steps to the comfort of a familiar banter, like that detrimental honesty had never been there at all.

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

Being in the Okami fandom for a long while, I've seen a lot of jokes about the commonfolk praising the gods for miracles without realizing who Ammy is. And those jokes evolve into either mocking at how ignorant those people are that they can't see that the god responsible is Right There, or annoyance that no one is outright thanking Ammy (or, let's be real, thanking you) for the hard work being done.

And I think that's sort of... missing the point? Because they are thanking the correct people! They're thanking the gods! And you're one of those!

And sure, Issun gets irritated about people not thanking you directly on occasion, but he's looking at these efforts from a mortal's perspective, much like we as players are. And that's only natural: we're humans, and the way we take in and process praise and rewards is very human. We like having our efforts lauded, and our name spoken, and acknowledgement that We are the ones that Did The Thing.

But Ammy isn't mortal, and she doesn't need the people to look her in the face and tell her directly how grateful they are. She watches as people thank the unseen gods in big ways AND small, and even if they can't see the markings on the wolf in front of them, the praise still flies right into her. And she's still wagging her tail.

Okay now i gotta know... As someone who only plays on English server but craves every bit of info on chapter 7....

What's the spoon scene? You mentiond it in the Sebek UM poster post.

no pressure tho, I'm just curious

oh, it's a little flashback scene to Silver and Sebek's first magic lesson (moving a spoon) -- it's one of the missable ones, so there's nothing plot-important in it, I just thought that one was really extra cute! 💚 Lilia does such a bad job of explaining how to use magic ("you go, like, SHWOO") that Malleus steps in and teaches them instead. so it's basically just Silver and Sebek staring intently (and audibly) at a spoon while Lilia flails around making noises and Malleus reminisces about how Lilia's teaching style has always been fascinatingly incomprehensible! pure sugary domestic fluff! just rubbing it in how absolutely terrible things have gotten :)

there are a bunch of cute flashbacks like that in the 7-81 and 7-83 maps; it's definitely worth getting them all if you are also fond of the diafam! I swear, this update has somehow managed to make me even more obsessed with this idiot dad and his three adopted dingbats and that should not have been possible.

girlies post incoming!!! 💜🍊

the way these two had no idea what they were doing (clem raising aj. violet leading the school) yet now they support each other and as a team are trying to help each other figure it out together. theyre making it up as they go but they at least know they have each other to rely on for whatever happens next

clem never had all the answers but she was trying her best to not let that show. violet becomes someone clem knows she can rely on no matter what (standing up for her and aj and their place at the school, "when i heard you call for help i didnt even think"), and clem becomes someone violet can rely on in turn (using her experience to help violet lead and protect the school and helping her take care of all these kids). theyre each others ROCKS!!!!!!! THEYRE A TEAM!!!!!!!!!!

honestly one of the reasons letting vi get taken hurts so much is that no matter what she WAS the leader of ericson!! vi (the wallflower that she was) steps up as soon as aj is in trouble to protect him And clem, then continues to fall into that leadership position because its not like anyone else is trying to keep everyone together. and even though she has no idea what shes doing or going to do about the army coming to take them all away, shes still trying her best, and clem helps her figure it out as they begin to lead together as a TEAM!! neither of them would be where they are without the influence of the other (vi stepping up as leader, clem being allowed back in). and you can just..... let her be taken in spite of all that.......... no wonder she was so heartbroken in that cell how could she not be

but if you save her it just solidifies their building relationship. that theyll always have the others back no matter what. and vi solidifies this even further by shooting minnie to save clem. all the little reassuring smiles they give each other.. making sure the other is holding up ok in moments of stress... im gonna go cry now

not to project like a motherfucker on natalie berzatto but ohhhh boy the impact of a narrative that says “hey, is your desire to make sure everybody around you is okay also about you? and could that perhaps be partially a maladaptive trauma response you should look into and maybe mitigate? because if it’s a genuine question that’s fine, but if the only answer you will respond well to hearing is yes that’s a You Issue Too, Babe”
