#I can't stop writing at work gdi

[chalkrevelations]

ok, wow, Dangerous Romance. WOW.

Looking at the preview for next week, dare I hope that someone has heard my mutterings about has realized how badly Bad Buddy dealt with bullying and its fallout and is actually going to do some of the cleanup and reconciliation work that BB almost completely leapfrogged over?

Hold on, I might need to sit down.

Because, listen. I love BB as much as anyone, it was probably my real gateway into Thai bl, but it's always bugged me how much that show and this writing team - the same team responsible for Dangerous Romance - allowed the execrable behavior by Pat and the Engineering Backup Hobbits to disappear down the memory hole once the romance storyline kicked into gear, and how much the show was allowed to get away with that, to the point that Wai's concern over Pat's apparently - from the outside - sudden obsessive interest in Pran was seen as intrusive and inappropriate and the rest of the Architecture Backup Hobbits were seen as trash friends for being unhappy to suddenly learn that Pran was dating someone who was responsible for repeated physical assaults on them, rather than Pran's consorting with Pat being seen - at. all. - as the friendship betrayal that it was.

Y'all. I saw someone recently making the argument that Pat was better than Kanghan because sweetheart Pat would never really punch down, and I was like, "I don't think I can even deal with this right now" and just kept scrolling. Because I've posted before about how Pat and the rest of Engineering essentially are Kanghan and Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit, what is this J's character's name that I can't remember right now, gdi? Pat and the Engineering Backup Hobbits are manifestly responsible for starting 95% of the physical altercations that we see in BB, and the other 5%, the bus stop altercation - although we know Wai was pissed about the video uploaded to the Internet, I don't remember that we're ever actually told who threw the first punch. Pat's reputation at the school - ALREADY, and how long has he even been there? - is that he's the guy who makes life miserable for Architecture students. Pat is responsible for siccing the other three on Wai in the first place, including an attempt at aggravated assault that they end up accidentally committing on Pran instead, and wanting to get humiliating video of Wai to upload to the Internet, just as Kanghan attempts to do to Sailom in DR. Pat sits back in the booth at the bar, fuming over a rebuff from Pran and lording it over Wai's humiliation - at his job - which is presented by Korn as a night's "entertainment" for Pat, in much the same way Kanghan sits on his trash-panda throne in an unused room of the school and lords it over his schoolmate subjects while Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit lock Guy in a closet and work over Auto, as well as attempting to get Sailom fired from one job and poisoning his ability to do another job.

And it's extremely subtexutally suggestive that Pat is, in fact, punching down when he goes after Wai, who's a scholarship student and, while not the only character we see working at a job, isn't working at a family business as Pa and Pran do. We learn that he needs to be able to balance his extracurriculars and his studies because he needs to keep his scholarship, and all of that is suggestive that he's not as well-off as the rest of the students, and that he can't retaliate or protect himself in any meaningful way when he's harassed on the job because he likely needs the job in the first place because he needs the money for things his scholarship doesn't pay for. If Pat and the rest of Engineering get him fired with their stunt at his workplace, he could potentially not be able to afford school, which could change the entire path of his life. So yeah, Pat punches down, along with Korn and Chang and Mo, just like Kanghan does, along with Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit, gdi, hold on ... Max, that's his name. Just because Architecture in BB generally do a better job of physically hitting back than Sailom's crew doesn't mean that Engineering aren't just as much bullies as Kanghan and his lackeys.

And I'm pretty excited to see that Sailom is going to attempt to make Kaghan not just behave about it but do some work to make reparations and build better relationships. This is why I'm always a little baffled at people who cite the pacing as why they're giving up on the show - we've gotten plenty of hints that none of the real issues are solved yet. That possessiveness that has Kanghan pulling Sailom away from everyone else by the wrist is going to come back and be an issue. The fact that Sailom basically indentured himself to Kanghan's family to pay off his own family's debt - that has the potential to come back and be an issue. No, everything's not solved yet - we're only halfway through.

Rambling about the finnish language because I have thoughts. They probably won't make a lot of sense, but it's mostly for me hahaha

First of all if you haven't downloaded the app Drops, you should!! It's super fun to learn vocabulary so far, and the interface is soooo cute!! Idk how effective it is on the long term, but it can't hurt to practice more hahaha.

Then this should have actually been first but whatever lol. I'm having so much fun learning the language. I hadn't felt that since I started learning japanese in 2006, and I've tried maaaaany more languages since then lol. I'm genuinely looking forward to my duolingo everyday! Every time I understand a new word in a song or an interview or something it's like my brain has solved a new puzzle and the SEROTONIN I SWEAR

Finnish has started to sound familiar for me now? Like earlier today I was watching an estonian/finnish comparison video and when the guy started speaking estonian I was like "oh yeah I def recognise the intonation and a few words, but that's it". Then the other guy started speaking finnish and my brain had a moment of "OH!! I know this!!! This is our stuff!!" Like I don't even feel that with spanish, and my spanish is better than my finnish by a LONG shot lmao. (It's still shit though I'm like three years old toddler level lol)

Idk I wanted to say something else but I'm just so so so happy a a a a a

OH YEAH also I'm a dumb fuck and since my third language is japanese I've hard-wired myself into pronouncing stuff the japanese way every time a language is nor english nor french, and it PISSES ME OFF. Because I KNOW how to pronounce the sounds but my brain is like oh did you mean [japanese sound] lemme fix that for you NO I KNOW WHAT I MEANT LET ME SAY WORDS GDI

So here is a list of stuff that I need to deprogram

from japanese

U pronounciation. In japanese, u is like a y/u mix and it's so hard to undo once you start doing it URGH

Soft-rolled r. Rolling r hard is kinda bad manneers in Japan so I never really forced myself to do it

L/R confusion. Since it's the exact same sound for both in japanese sometimes I just L my R or roll my L it's so silly hahaha

From french

T/D stridulation. It's pronouncing t as ts and d as dz instead of a hard t or d. It's only found in quebec french and it took me A BILLION YEARS to learn when I moved here, and now I have to undo it???

Ä/A distinction. Already said it, but it's more of a matter of accent in french so I need to stop using them interchangeably

Learn to fucking read y/u and ö/o GDI BISON IT'S NOT HARD

Stress of the first syllable. Almost impossible for a french speaker BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE

From both:

THERE IS NO GENDERED PRONOUN IN FINNISH STOP THINKING ABOUT IT THEY DO NOT EXIST STOPPPPPP

Thank you for reading my scrambled mind lol. I'm training for another department at work and it's a lot of info so my brain is about to leak from my ears, and it shows in my writing lmao

[andrea-lyn]

oh hey, fic update bc why not:

nearly done (if I weren't so slow):

ted lasso crackfic with werewolves from ted's pov with bonus roy/jamie/keeley. said it before, will say it again, I'll never stop writing this fandom so long as I get to write ted pov bc it is my fave

pushing bluesey au

malex hallmark style jeweller au - so here's my game plan. both this and the above are gonna be chaptered things. they're both close enough to done that I can start posting. am I gonna end up posting them on the same schedule? yes. does that mean double the editing? also yes

we're just gonna keep working on these, gdi (in order of likelihood of completion):

old guard henchmen au - joe and nicky don't realize that they got hired in a shady org, do all the wrong things, get poached

roy/jamie ex-husbands fic

zukka timeloop fic, but it's sad and will destroy me, so I can't write too much of it at once

joe/nicky outlander, time travellers wife, old guard mechanics au. I'm starting to think I'll just never finish it, tbh? there's 16k, but it's just...a lot, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I considered breaking it down into a much shorter thing, but it works much better as an epic and I do love the concept so idk

prince and the turtleduck zukka au - hey, it's not started! but it's gonna happen!

meanwhile, I have no new ideas other than that last, but I want them, so c'mon brain, be open to shit (or tropes, lbr it'll be tropes)

[delcat177]

You know this is the ideal, right? We can come out and say it. The people at the top don't want people at the bottom if a robot can work it cheaper. They would absolutely sell us a movie made by nothing but simple machines and AI.

Not in the fun, wild, "we have a new toy let's make it illustrate King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards for us one line at a time" AI. That's what we *want*.

(it's what I want, anyway)

No. What they would sell us, with their simple machines, and their AI, would be...garbage, but garbage that we want. They're already showing us that, Disney in particular is excellent at media slurrification--take the franchise, bash some marketable characters together until there's a situation where someone makes a mistake that's only partially their fault, then resolve that fault in a way that makes up feel good about the world, roll it in slo-mo and explosions, add a Squishy Comic Relief Animal for the girls and some fart jokes for the boys, a little fanservice for the adults, some knowingly "we're progressive" nods to folks like me and "but not *queer*" nods to the rest...

...and we watch it. Because we love that shit. It's good shit! Uh, minus the gender tangent, this remains Tumblr, sorry.

it's good shit. Problems that can be solved in two hours, that's what Hollywood was based on, except in much smaller film cans. Making resolution with each other, getting to know each other better, having the place for the sides to grudgingly acknowledge each other because kids remain kids. It's all important.

Movies are part of us.

But the more automated and corporate big studios get--not just Disney, not by a longshot, it's just the poster child--the more automated and corporate big studios get, the more it is that they put out garbage we just can't be *fucked* about anymore.

The writing should be on the wall by now. Like, not to be "have you seen the Flash baby scene", but. Have you seen the Flash baby scene? The studios are BROKEN, my dudes. Not even the crap machine is crapping right anymore.

And that means we turn elsewhere, and more and more--

*They lose the content war*.

We can keep pushing. Strikes are good. We need to be ready for what's next. And do you know how we do that?

We keep making good content.

And whatever it is you're making?

It's good content.

It really is, stop being so hard on yourself.

(this part is just thanking anyone who read so far, thank you for the gif @nicesausages, point well in hand re: quality content creation)

Keep! Up! The! STRIKES! *Tear down the landlords!* And make good content!!!

Fake edit:

gdi Tumblr I didn't know how to describe that BEFORE you covered it COME ON

We live in a dystopia....

Weight of Stone

Summary: Cisco was getting himself in trouble, in more ways than one. But he would have to put that on the shelf, for the sake of the entire world. Word Count: 2772 Previous: Subtle Grace Next: Shattered Surface

Cisco was glad he didn't wear the fingerless gloves. Even a hint of contact, and Harry would be fully aware Cisco’s hidden truth. Harry’s hand seemed large in his grip. Cisco was looking into his eyes, for the first times, and having him look back. He still felt like he was going to wake up from this vivid dream. And he didn’t really sleep, only entered the occasional trance state to recharge, especially after vibing.

Cisco had allowed Harry to see him. It could be a fatal error or the best decision yet.

Most humans would have seen nothing but wings and a near blinding light. Harry could make him out, every detail. It was proof Harry was his soulmate. He hadn't wanted to believe it.

Unlike humans, who required physical contact, angels’ senses were affected immediately. He had been with Harry, 18, alone in his home, on his birthday. Cisco’s friends had pitied him for getting stuck with such an antisocial pain in the pass. But Cisco had been optimistic, he thought there could be more than meets the eye.

Harry’s schoolmates were jealous of him, or didn’t understand him, or they didn’t know what to do with his attitude. He had a pen pal from another state, no one else. And Cisco would read over his shoulder, to see that Harry never bared his soul or inner thoughts to that person. He was isolated and pretended to like it that way. His parents were distant as well. He didn’t even get the benefit of throwing wild parties while they were gone.

Bells had rang in Cisco’s head, the moment Harry had unknowingly looked into his eyes. Cisco’s nerve ends had been aflame. He knew.

“It never ends well,” Caitlin had warned him.

Her husband had been human. He had sacrificed his soul to save many lives. She was never the same. They renamed her Killer Frost, for how violently and ruthlessly she took out demons with her ice powers. Having simple small talk with her felt like walking on thin ice, pun absolutely intended. Cisco had thrown caution to the wind, despite all the warnings.

He had watched Harry grow and change, but not very much. He broke hearts. He yelled and cried. He met the love of his life, and Cisco helplessly watched her die. He saw the pride Harry had for his daughter. Cisco was remote yet ever present like the moon to the Earth. He could observe and not touch.

He fell in love with someone he could never speak with, someone who would live and die and never know him. Harry would’ve never knew he existed, that he had another soulmate in the universe. Or so Cisco had assumed.

Desperate to save the man he loved, he broke one of the most sacred laws: Don't Cheat Death.

But he couldn’t understand the justification. He had a daughter who still needed him. The loss of her father too would crush her young, innocent soul. Caitlin was Jesse’s guardian. She would find out soon, as Jesse had been told of her father’s demise before Cisco could revive him. He figured Harry would call her in private. He feared Caitlin’s reaction, and the outrage from the rest. Cisco didn’t have a good standing with the elder guardians already.

Revealing himself to Harry had been necessary. They could only do this together.

He would have to duel Death herself. She wouldn’t stop until Harry was no longer for this world. It was gossiped among the angels that he had not unlocked the full scope of his abilities. That if he did, he could be strong enough to challenge the Archangel or even Death. She chartered souls, kept the balance of the circle of life.

She would take Harry over Cisco’s corpse. He had a sinking feeling that was the most likely result. But he would go down fighting. She would pry Harry from Cisco’s cold, limp fingers or never have him at all, those were the only two options.

In the present, Cisco lingered too long. Harry tilted his head, squinting as though Cisco was the most intriguing puzzle. Cisco blushed and yanked his hand back. He cleared his throat and situated himself on the arm of the couch. Cisco kicked off his golden sandals and put his feet on the cushion. He stuffed a handful of popcorn in his mouth. Harry’s lip curled, informing Cisco he successfully broken the moment. He found himself missing Harry’s scrutiny. Cisco had yearned to be the object of his laser focus for years.

Cisco was weak. He shouldn’t allow himself to easily fall into human trappings. He was beyond getting lost in a stupid, futile little crush. At the end of the episode, Harry had ants in his pants. If he had worn any. He repeatedly shifted on the couch. Cisco leaned back and put his hands behind his head, eyes following Harry as he went off to his bedroom in a tizzy.

He reappeared fully dressed and carrying car keys. “I can’t idle here when there’s potential discoveries waiting for me. Let’s go.”

“Bossypants,” Cisco mumbled. He went, not like he had something better to do. He flew above Harry, admiring his expensive car. The model wasn’t even on the market yet. Harry spoiled himself in some ways, deprived himself in others. Such as sleep. And socialization.

“Welcome to STAR labs,” Harry announced. “It’s been the leading facilitator of genius and innovation for -”

Cisco rolled his eyes unseen. “I know.”

Harry gave him a dirty look and breezed down the hallway. Cisco fluttered after him. It was quite spacious which he approved of. They came to a fairly empty space. A single glass board housed Harry’s equations. It was where Harry came to be utterly alone.

“I can make some adjustments, turn this into a training room.”

They set to work. Various projects were labeled and stacked onto shelves in the storage closet. Being marginally stronger, Cisco moved most of the tables. Meanwhile, he snuck glances at Harry as he assisted. Cisco never invaded his privacy so far to see him totally naked, but he knew what Harry looked like underneath his sweaters, cardigans, and jackets. For a mortal his age, he was ridiculously fit.

Harry left a computer station in part of the space. He sat in the chair and asked Cisco about his powers. He explained how he could see the past, present, and future. He added that he could feel the vibrations of the universe, open breaches in the space-time continuum, and shoot blasts from his hands. Harry stopped and stared a few times, trying to wrap his head around it all. Cisco’s abilities must have been a marvel.

He decided not to explain the multiverse to Harry yet. That might be a bit too much.

Harry began setting up targets. Most of them were pop outs on a course, reminding him of Men in Black. To his embarrassment, he mostly screamed in surprise and either missed or blasted the wrong target. When he glanced at Harry, the idiot mortal was obviously trying not to laugh his head off. At least he understood that wouldn’t encourage Cisco much.

“This isn’t working!” Cisco threw up his hands. He jumped up on a desk and crossed his arms. He knew he looked like a petulant child.

Harry waved, “There is no sitting on desks in this laboratory. Honestly.”

Cisco stuck his tongue out but hopped down. Harry stepped close to him. Their noses almost touched. His breath puffed hot over his mouth. Cisco trembled with the need to get in closer. He restrained himself by a thread. Harry smiled like he knew exactly the effect he had.

“You will get this. Try. Again.”

His voice was rough. It dragged Cisco over the rocks and dashed him against the cliffside. He raised his arm. To his credit, Harry didn't flinch. Cisco shot the vibe blast past his shoulder, hitting the roving target on the bullseye. He blew on his knuckles and grinned.

Harry didn't turn to look. “Good job.”

Harry continued, “Time for a break.”

Cisco thought he was hallucinating. He knew Harry didn't take breaks. He seemed to enjoy working himself into the ground. But of course, Harry went to the board and began writing and drawing diagrams. He only meant Cisco.

He returned to his roots of silent observation. Watching Harry work was his favorite pastime. He blinked and realized Harry was working on something to channel and guide his power. Angels always just used their powers, they never built anything to refine control. Perhaps he should bring that to the table during the next meeting.

They’d probably laugh him right out. He was young by angel standards, which usually assumed inexperience and incompetence. He had a hard time proving he wasn't a fledgling anymore.

Harry became stumped. He growled and rubbed his mouth. He pushed up his glasses then took the off entirely. Cisco held in the urge to giggle at his frustration. Harry’s marker ran dry. He gave up fast on shaking it and threw it in a sharp flick if his wrist. Cisco reacted, sending it through a breach. The marker hit Harry square in the forehead. Cisco snorted. Harry jerked belatedly and glared at him. Cisco completely lost his shit and bent his knees. He desperately sucked in air past his chortling.

“Ramon. Why am I putting up with you again?”

Cisco breathed in deep. He gasped, “Because we need each other. To stop that murderous fiend.”

“Right. A little professionalism would be appreciated.”

“Because throwing a marker is professional?” Cisco almost bopped him on the nose with his index finger. He stopped his hand just in time. Harry went cross-eyed, then took a wide step backward.

“It’s part of my thought process. I am channeling my frustration into the marker, instead of giving you a bloody nose.”

“I’m an angel. You know that would just break your hand.” Cisco put his hands on his hips. Harry copied him. Cisco’s head dropped as he was hit by a round of chuckles.

“Then you’d have to listen to me complain,” Harry said, “So it’s a win-win situation.”

“If you say so.”

Cisco turned to examine the remaining contents of the desk. He curiously picked up an old fashioned war helmet. A wave of nausea hit him. His falling adrenaline spiked again. He was vibing. He was seeing Hunter Zolomon, the speed devil that had almost killed Harry. He was dressed in a monsterous blue outfit. They were in a parking lot somewhere. He let the waves of the universe pull him.

Zolomon shouted, “You think you stand a chance alone Flash?”

“I'm not alone,” spoke another leather clad speedster in red. Another in yellow joined him.

“You’re done terrorizing this town, Zoom.”

Cisco didn’t recognize their voices. His mind immediately supplied improvements for the red suit. The yellow seemed well developed. He wouldn't touch Zolomon with a nine foot pole. It was bizarre. Cisco figured it was set in the future, but it wasn’t apparent how far. They all sped off, leaving trails of multi-color lightning.

He gasped for air, Harry's visage appearing before him. His expression was tight. Cisco was collapsed against a work table, wings fluttering urgently. Harry started to reach out, halting the motion and wiping his hand on his sweater. He shoved his hands in his pockets.

“Are you alright?”

“I had a vision - hard to explain -”

“Save it, you can barely breathe.”

Cisco appreciated that. Harry had a soul after all. There was hope for him. He thought about his vision. The angels’ database only had five known speedsters that had visited or were born on this Earth: Hunter Zolomon (born), Jay Garrick (visitor), Johnny Quick (visitor), Wally West (born), and one whose other identity was unknown. Speedsters didn’t have guardian angels, and angels weren’t omniscient. Additionally, speedsters could see angels and easily disguise themselves.

Something about the scarlet speedster wiggled in the back of his mind.

Iris West-Allen. She had written chronicles of central city’s very own hero called the Flash. He was one of the speedsters they had referred to as a speed angel. He was the real deal. The other, Wally, hadn’t yet come into his own. Cisco didn't entirely trust him, but the Flash did good work. He could try to find out more from Iris’s guardian, Linda.

Harry snapped his fingers in front of Cisco’s face. So much for being nice.

“I'm going to run to Big Belly. Do you want anything?”

He must have asked Cisco several times, judging by his tone. Cisco understood him getting irritated over his unresponsiveness. Cisco hated repeated himself. It made him feel like he wasn’t important enough to the person to be listened to, and it happened quite often among his kind. He felt invisible sometimes.

“Two triple triples and a jamocha milkshake.” Cisco added, “Please and thank you.”

Someone around here had to show some manners.

“I supposed I'm buying. Can't you just make it -”

“Against the rules.”

Better to be as much of a stickler as possible. If not with the angel of Death, at least he could plead a case with the guardians. Digging a deeper hole wouldn't help his case. He already had a reputation of borderline reckless behavior. Harry gave a short nod and headed out.

“He’s hot.”  Cisco literally flew to the ceiling due to that sudden voice behind him.

“If you haven’t hit that yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for, Vibe.”

“Rathaway you jackhole! Why didn’t you let me see you?”

Hartley snickered. “And miss the chance to scare the feathers off of you? No way.”

“Jerk. As I live and breath you are my least favorite person. What do you want?”

Inside, Cisco was screaming. Hartley rarely left his charge, David Singh, unless it was an absolute emergency. Hartley was obsessed with him, but Singh was happily married. It had showed no signs of deterioration. He would feel some sympathy for Hartley, if he wasn’t such an asshat. He braced himself as Hartley’s expression became somber.

“This isn’t a social call.”

“No really, because we should totally hang out more. Get on with it maybe?” Cisco noticed he was still holding the helmet. He dropped it to the floor in disgust. He would have to ask where Harry even found the thing, it radiated evil.

Hartley told him gravely, “The Archangel Nora is dead. She was murdered by a speed devil.”

Speedsters were the forbidden children of an angel and a human. They usually went bad at some point. Cisco just spun and gaped at the tattered cardboard. He couldn’t bear the alarm in Hartley’s eyes. If Hartley was spooked, that wasn’t a good sign. It was an alarm screeching at everyone to get out of town or die. Hartley blew out air behind him, the heaviness of the situation apparent in even that sound.

“We're having a meeting to vote in a new leader. Quickly finish up -- uh -- whatever the hell you were doing.”

Hartley cloaked himself. He was gone as sudden as he appeared. It was typical Hartley. Cisco couldn’t shake the look on Hartley’s face. He was scared. Hartley was an elder angel. The last time anyone heard of an elder angel being frightened out of their wits was World War II. The last time an Archangel had died -- humans hadn’t truly existed yet. Angels had looked more like Archaeopteryx than apes. They were a mostly incorporeal, adaptable species that took the shape of the dominant life form, in order to connect with and understand them.

The loss of an Archangel was an omen of the highest order. It was a harbinger of extinction.

“This is really bad, like over 9000 levels of badness,” Cisco said to himself.

Cisco’s wings unfurled, preparing for him to take flight. With the fear flooding his system, he might shake himself apart with vibes at any moment. Probably not the best time to leave someone who was helping him control his vibes. Harry grabbed Cisco’s wrist, sending goosebumps along his entire arm. Cisco had missed his return, despite facing the doorway. Harry dropped his bags on the floor and squeezed.

“What's wrong?” Harry released him, blanching at the contact. He had received his sign. Cisco froze, his wings wrapping around him protectively.

“I’m sorry I can’t - I. We’ll talk about this later,” Cisco said in a rush. “There’s this speedster - the Archangel’s dead and I - I gotta go!”

Before Harry could get out a single word, Cisco vanished through a breach.

Me, clinging to one AU and it's wips: can we please focus on this one AU and the wips relating to it please for the love of god i need to finish them

My gremlin brain, holding 100 AU's and new wips: NO DUDE WE HAVE TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS RIGHT NOW AT THE SAME TIME AND THAT ONE BUT WE SHOULD DO THIS ONE RIGHT NOW- WAIT MAYBE THIS ONE- AND THAT ONE-

Me, sobbing: s t o p

[evilminji]

Wait... Spidori... does that mean the White Lantern Entity is probably somewhere in the Local Zone? Even if they're NOT and are hanging around their Death Site on the Zone side...

Pretty sure they WOULD NOT just be the sort to go "oh well :/ guess I'm dead. Better just move on then and forget what I was doing in life. Off to the afterlife with me~!" Like? Pretty sure they would BY NATURE make Death fuckin fight them. Would kick and bite and claw and curse.

........oh shit.

There is a good chance? That White Lantern Ring is shouting "Buddy! Oh THERE you are! Man, it took me FOREVER to find you! :D let's get back to work!" As it merrily shoots passed, JUST as everything is starting to calm down. Probably followed by the REST of the free rings in the spectrum.

Like?

Oh... Oh No(tm).

The Lantern System is NOT BUILT or structured for a cataclysmicly large Sudden Influx of Immortal Veterans. All of whom are, by their new nature, OBSESSIVELY and thus absurdly POWERFULLY feeling their specific Emotional Energy and focused on their specific Tasks/Quadrants/Unfinished Business. Lanterns that never need to eat or sleep.

Who might not take well, some Interloper trying to keep them from doing their Task.

The hyperfocus is both REAL and probably terrifying.

Cause it's not just the massive new Lantern Influx. It's the natural and unwavering Obsessions. The "I will listen too you only so far as you don't tell me to stop doing X, after that? I immediately go rouge." Just?

You can't take the rings BACK. Even with the power to revoke them, you'd only be setting Immortal Lanterns against any newbie you try and assign. They'd CHASE DOWN any available Ring. Meaning you'd have to start Personally Escorting the rings. All of them.

You don't HAVE that sort of man power.

And it just keeps spiraling from there! Not to even TOUCH on the Darkest Night Tauma Flashbacks everyone is getting, seeing the White Lantern Being.

And that poor dude in his car. He just needed some milk, maybe a snacky treat. Now he has the front row seats to intergalactic History in the making. Those are SHIT SEATS, MAN. No one wants to Make History! Nothing ever good happens at events like those! Especially not HERE!

All while Danny is like "Why does it have to be one my front lawn. TT^TT why can't Amity ever just be Chill for FIVE GODDAMN SECONDS. Please... please take this literally ANYWHWRE else. Where I'm not in charge of collateral damages. This is cool and all... but I still have reports to write and a research paper due Friday. GDI that portal is a curse upon me specifically and the universe in general!"

...Wait. ACTUALLY???

The Portal is basically a doorway right? Big ol solid and sustained gateway from Realm A to Universe B? Unlike the brief blips of natural portals?

As IN... a Ring could therefore, theoretically, send out it's Search For Willpower. EXE vibes? Hit the portal -> go THROUGH the portal -> and continue expanding as the search continued until it hit a Confirmed Match(tm)?

You know... somebody INCREDIBLY SUPER LIKELY to match? Like... say... a Dead Green Lantern who? Had the WILL to continue on as a Ghost? Probably would get priority over any untested "new" Lantern candidates? Since they are somehow both in the system and not?

Recognized, yet a different species somehow?

The Rings records mark them deceased. Yet here they are, without a Ring. Which they OBVIOUSLY need, as Lanterns. Because once a Lantern, always a Lantern. Nyooom~ off it goes.

Off? Probably a whole SHIT TON of them go. Like? A truely, TRUELY alarming amount.

Think hundreds of thousands, suddenly wrenching themselves free of their stands and SHOOTING into the sky. Yes, a few at a time is normal. Day in, day out. Hundreds a day.

Not upwards of millions.

Not all at once.

A SEA of green orbs shooting up into the night sky like shooting stars. So many it chokes the sky. Drives everything to a stand still. All of them going the same direction. Some... EVENT... has just happened and no one knows what it is.

You have no choice but to follow them. Figure out where they are going and what's DRAWING them. You fly for weeks. Take shifts, following them. Alarm countless innocent people and more then a few governments.

It's....? Earth? Fuck. Of COURSE it had to be that God forsaken rock. EVERYTHING seems to come from there! Do you have ANY IDEA how many Lanterns they have stationed there by now? Multiple times the amount ENTIRE QUADRENTS usually take.

Why is it ALWAYS that planet?? Someone call Hal and his merry band of migraines. They're coming in hot. And NO, we CANT stop them. Don't bother asking. We ALSO have no idea where they're headed.

Think about being in Amity. Quiet day for once. You don't trust it. Something gonna happen, you can FEEL it.

A ring shoots past you. Then another. And another. Then dozens. Hundreds. THOUSANDS. Green, glowing, and like they were shot from a gun. The sky hailing ghost jewelry because God hate Amity specifically, apparently, and FUCK your premiums. You dive for your car.

Watch, baffled, at the Fenton house is SWARMED. The local crack pots are trying to shoot at RINGS. Failing to hit a single one. The swarm organized, writhing, and gracefully ALIVE somehow.

Aliens shoot past your car. They're wearing LANTERN get ups. Fighting the local crackpots. The sky is FULL of Lanterns now. Oh god, first Ghosts, now Aliens. Your mother was right. You SHOULD have stayed in Ohio with her sister.

The Rings break the Fenton's door down. The clattering is CACOPHONOUS as they push and shove to race inside. You watch the doorway. Some instinct telling you not to look away. Even as Lanterns and crazy people are shooting at each other not yards away.

Watch. The. Door.

Ghosts come back out. ALIEN Ghosts. Wearing LANTERN rings. Your jaw drops as they just... just KEEP coming. Every last one of them wearing a ring. You struggle to remember how many there WERE. As the sky turns GREEN. As Amity truely DOES become the most haunted place... anywhere.

You're pretty sure in the oceans of GREEN you spot the Justice League. You DEFINITELY spot Phantom. Thank god. No Spooks ever get away with shady nonsense on HIS watch, so whatever happening? 'S gonna get sorted.

And JUST? As you think... maybe, JUST maybe... you could just? Inch your car into drive, and sloooowly get the fuck out of whatever THIS mess it? Those white suited crazy people from the Feds show up and start trying to ARREST the SPACE COPS. For not letting them take unprovoked attacks on OTHER Space Cops!

Oh Shit(tm).

Nah (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ✨ throw the sparkle (ヘ･_･)ヘ💕 get the heart and it's loving Anu hours

First of all; you!

You're so nice. Just—that's the first thing okay? You're just so likeable and easy to talk to. I can just come to you on something and we just start bouncing things off of each other! I can send you something as long as I feel like you'd enjoy it. (Though I hope you tell me of you don't!!)

Be it angst, fluff or anything else! You're just so fun to talk to! Let's just shyly put our simping on display cause I gotta say, you is some beeg brain 👏

Second of all; your writing in general!

🤤🤤🤤🤤

I simp over it!!! It's just so nice. You use such simple words and they grasp on the emotion you want and portrays it. It's just so amazing how you string words together. If that full stop is ending, let's say, an anger controlled sentence it's so powerful. I can envision it. The way the full stop is just slapped there as a temporary way to stop the anger

Be it sad? I can see the leaky ink from the words. Just messing up the paper that's being worked on. That's how strongly you convey your emotions and I love it!

Third of all; muses

You have four muses that I know of on here! Each distinctly different from the other. They have their own problems and the have their moments too.

Some ignore their issues and slap god like ego on it.

One see the issues and try to fix them but in turn at the expense of themselves.

One knows nothing but to be behind a wall of it means they're nowhere near the pain.

One knows of it's problems and tries to fix them any chance they arise.

Just please let me kiss your brain? Just just let me please Anu? 🙏

『 ┍━━━━━»•» @sovereignxfae // send ✨for some positivity  «•«━━━━━┑ 』

GDI Kyu, I'm gonna cry over this. This was supposed to be about me being positive for you, you gremlin-- (jokingly)

But first off, you are lit. one of my best friends online. i message you whenever and however and i check on you very often. but--god. you're so easy to talk to. you're kind and always willing to help and be compassionate and understanding. you, as a person, are one of my favorites. I love everything you send me and i---god. it makes me feel so happy to know that you randomly think of me like that and makes me feel more welcome about approaching you--

and your writing. all your muses are so different and i adore how good you are at painting differently with each of them. you're very, very talented at meshing their stories together but giving them all their little quirks and keeping their personalities separate. it's hard to do. and you do it phenomenally. i read your writing and can immediately tell who wrote it and the sheer emotion that you're going for--i love the way you use commas. just :chefs kiss: good comma usage makes me go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and all your muses--sage, quinn, itani, k'in, kio and onyx. all of them are so wonderful. in particular i love how k'in is so adorable and how attached they are to muzan and how they are literally his child. they've wormed their way into his very cold, broken heart and are there to stay forever. they've earned the loyalty of a man who only thinks of himself and that says a lot about how our interactions go-- and jumping off that, k'in is my bb. i love them so much--and i love how much you've fleshed them out and expanded on their personality since you started writing them

and onyx. he adores her, even if he doesn't say it aloud. sometimes it's good for him to be chewed out and put in his place even if it infuriates him and makes him want to pull his own hair out by the roots. (narcissist pretty man hates having his flaws pointed out). but-- he still cares for her, even if overall he's a toxic being. which is hard for him.

we haven't written with kio a lot yet but i can't wait to see that (and it's mostly my fault orz)

KYU KYU

I love you friend!!! (platonically)

[lewis-winters]

(gif by @lyselkatzfandomluvs)

oh? me? writing about single dad!lewis who is a disaster human being but a good dad to a precocious little girl named Bea who adores him but at the same time thinks her daddy is the silliest person to ever exist?

you bet your ASS i am.

anyway, here have this headcanon list:

Bea is Lew's little girl from a one night stand. her mom didn't want to abort, but she didn't want to keep her, either. Lew considered putting her up for adoption, but the second the doctors let him hold her he knew that that just wasn't an option.

at that point, Lew never really knew what love was. not really. but looking down at that lil bundle in his arms that resembled more a bean than human, he decided then and there that that is exactly what true love feels like.

Bea is AMAB and has always known she was a girl. Lew always indulged her, especially when she finally learned how to talk and walk and have opinions. if Bea said she wanted to wear a dress or play with dolls or grow out her hair, he'd let her and he'd sass down anybody that let her feel like she couldn't. bc of that, Bea never thought that she was anything but a girl for ages.

i mean, the only thing she truly hated was her name. bc it was a boy's name and was therefore very ugly.

when she was four, she told Lew and everybody that would listen that she wanted to be called Beatrix-with-an-X instead of the name they gave her. she heard it on tv one day and loved it so much, she just decided to use it and that was that.

I wouldn't say Lew didn't have his moments of crisis over it-- he had a whole paradigm shift, and he definitely had to read up some stuff and talk to people, but he never let Bea know it. that's his baby girl. and he loves her. he'd never forgive himself if he'd ever let her feel otherwise.

he calls her BumbleBea on a regular basis, but in his head and when referring to her to anybody else, he calls her Little Miss Nixon

occassionally Little Miss Hypochondriac if she's being particularly fussy that day

bc Bea is VERY fussy

she's under the belief that her daddy doesn't take care of himself very much. she is right. Lew does not like to admit it.

she prepares his vitamins and reminds him to drink water and eat his veggies

they take care of each other a lot

Lew makes sure Bea does her homework and is polite and gets dressed real nice and is making the right friends

Bea makes sure Lew remembers to brush his teeth or eat breakfast or drink water or dress up warm during the winter

their little mantra in the morning is--

Lew: Be good, but if you need to be bad--

Bea: Don't get caught!

Bea also understands sarcasm a bit too well for a baby child

Lew says it's the natural Nixon gene. Blanche says it's bc Bea spends way too much time with Lew.

Bea calls Lew two things: Daddy, on the regular, and Dada when she wants to be cuddled or carried or held or comforted

Lew has NO idea why she does, but every time he hears her call him Dada while holding out her arms in a silent request to be picked up, he melts into a puddle

George, Lew's old college buddy and Bea's godfather, and Blanche are her regular babysitters. she loves them both so much but she definitely loves Blanche more because when she's with Aunt Blanche she gets presents

George treats her like a mini adult, which just kinda reinforces why she's so fluent in sarcasm to begin with or why she's half as mischievous as she is.

Bea is a morning person. Lew is a night owl. when Bea was a baby, this was definitely a problem, bc she'd have Lew running to her side at 3 am, so much so that he just moved her bassinet to his room and then just little by little let her migrate to his bed and let her serve as his alarm clock.

but when she started to walk and talk and become big enough to do things on her own, they've come up with a system where she'd get up, try her best to make Lew coffee, then wake him up with kisses

the coffee is never good but Lew swallows it down anyway

Lew is very good at braiding hair for some reason

Bea always did say that her Daddy is fit to be a stay at home husband bc he keeps track of their household stuff better than his at work stuff

Lew doesnt work at the plant-- Stanhope didn't like the name Beatrix, let's just say. Lewis told him to go fuck himself. thankfully before doing that, he saved enough money to sustain him and Bea until he could find a job. also, he has a group of very good friends and an amazing sister who stuck by him and Bea, so really, leaving Nixon behind to get a fresh new start in New York with his baby girl was the best decision he has ever made

(Lew always says Bea saved him somehow-- taking care of another human being helped him learn, little by little, how to take care of himself. how to function. he wants to be a better man for Bea, wants to be able to be somebody she's proud of. and by wanting that and doing everything to be that, he's managed to heal himself. day by day. it hasn't been easy. but it has been worth it.)

(he still drinks, though. but never in front of Bea. and never more than a glass. he can't afford to go down that road right now. not with Bea.)

Bea meets Dick first. she's seven years old in a brand new school being run by her dad's college friend and her godmother, Kitty and Dick, fresh from his last tour in Iraq, is there to visit Kitty's boyfriend and fellow teacher, Harry, who is his old college buddy.

Bea likes Mr Winters very much and talks about him to Lew when she gets home

Dick, of course, is easily charmed by this precocious lil girl with an inquisitive nature and an oddly dry sense of humor. He's planning on getting a job in the school's administrative branch so he's there quite a lot. Bea always stops to talk to him, and he never fails to humor her. He rather enjoys her company.

Lew, otoh, is getting very jealous

all Bea can talk about is Mr Winters said this and Mr Winter said that and ooohhh did you know Mr Winters was a soldier? that's pretty cool

Lew has a 9-5 desk job. Bea doesn't think that's very cool.

bc of this, Lew does not like this Mr Winters on principle

All of Bea's godparents (George, Kitty, Lip, and Ron) and her Aunt Blanche think this is hilarious

Everytime Lew sees them, he grumbles about Mr Winters. This, of course, drives Kitty to find a way to introduce them.

so, during during the Parent Teacher Conference, Lew meets Dick. and he finds he does like Mr Winters after all. he likes Mr Winters a lot.

Dick, otoh, sees Bea light up and run into Lew's open arms, giggling when Lew peppers her face with kisses and raspberries, and immediately knows he is very much In Trouble.

Bea, being perceptive as she is, picks up on their mutual crushes on each other and thinks they're meant to be (she's right, of course) and immediately starts trying to push them together.

Bea: Mr Winters, do you like bad boys?

Dick, who most definitely has always had a thing for dark haired, rakish characters with hearts of gold and is also blushing very hard: Uh... sure I do

Bea: Great. Because my daddy is bad at everything.

it becomes Bea's mission to get her daddy and Mr Winters together

she doesn't have a plan for it. she just waits to throw them at each other at every opportunity until something happens.

she's very determined. Lew would stop and admire her ambition if only he wasn't busy fumbling into this new relationship with Dick while also doing his best to be a good dad.

and it's all very cute and fluffy and nothing bad ever happens ever bc this is my au, gdi, and i'm allowed to be as indulgent as i want, thank you.

[lastoneout]

thinking about this again

Cuz like I'm reworking some lore given that I'm worried people will take the whole "Ophelia sharing part of her soul with Eugene so he can use his demon powers to save them both a la Ed in FMA using his own soul as a mini-philosopher's stone" thing as like, some kind of anti-feminist "man uses woman" thing when it's really not supposed to be, because the more I write about it and how it comes back the more I'm in love with what I want it to symbolize, which is the idea of opening yourself up to others and trusting them with the most vulnerable, intimate parts of yourself, because that's love and the thing Ophelia is REALLY struggling with like that's Her Thing To Accept

(And it goes both ways, Ophelia is finally able to trust someone enough to do something like that and know she won't get hurt, and Eugene is finally starting to not hate the fact that he's a demon and realize that being what he is, being who he is, ISNT wrong or bad or hurting the people he cares about, so again, not about ownership or using anyone, it's a moment of growth for both of them that also gets them out of a dangerous situation

Aaaaaand it's also probably going to be when they confess to each other, or at least Ophelia confesses to him, because after something THAT intimate what reason is there to keep hiding their feelings?)

And so when it comes back at the end and saves her life, it's specifically because the bit of herself that she shared with Eugene never quite went away, and when she nearly dies it still existing is what helps him and her friends save her.

Bcs what's really saving her isn't Eugene owning her or whatever, it's the fact that when we trust people and let them into our lives we sort of like, live on inside them in a way, it's a form of immortality, even when you're gone your loved ones carry on their love for you and their memory of you, and the more you let them in the more they carry, and so the real reason they can help her is because she let them into her life and trusted them to carry her, even when it was hard(and also ofc because they wouldn't even BE there at all if she hadn't done so in the first place lol)

And like it really does take all of them, Eugene tries to save her by himself at first and it doesn't work, he can't do it on his own, and that's also part of his growth in the moment, he's been running away from her to try to save her again and again, but it isn't until he stays that he actually can(in fact him trying to run away again IS what put her in a position to get hurt and nearly die)

And like neither of them were sacrificing themselves in the moment either, Ophelia getting hurt was kinda senseless, or like the big bad did it, and it happened after they had worked things out between them, and Eugene AND their friends don't have to sacrifice anything to save her

Bcs that's another main theme I want to have, constantly running away and trying to sacrifice yourself for others only leads to more misery in the end, staying with them and loving them and trusting them, that's what truly saves us(and ofc relying on the people we love makes us stronger, both at the end and in the original moment, they all get stronger and can save each other because they're relying on each other, something both Ophelia and Eugene struggle a lot with)

I know I shouldn't care but man I really, REALLY want to make sure people don't misinterpret this part cuz it's like the crux of Ophelia's entire character arc and I would never write something as shallow as "man uses woman" like that it's about LOVE and trust and intimacy and letting people in and not letting our self-hatred stop you from ever seeing all the good you can do THATS what's important gdi

Anyway Ophelia really is gonna get that quote from Firefly that's like "when you can't run you walk, and when you can't walk you crawl and when you can't do that you find someone to carry you" drilled into her head she is Not Allowed to give up on life anymore and she is Not Allowed to go it alone either

coping by thinking about my ocs anyway going insane about how Ophelia spends most of her life pushing people away because she's scared of being hurt only to later have her life saved specifically because she's surrounded by her friends

Late Night Visit

Prompt: “Because I love you god damnit!” + “If we get caught I’m blaming you.” + “What are you doing here? It’s late.”

Genre: angst, fluff, smut

Word Count: 1129

Member: Bang Chan

Warnings: a bit of smut

You glance up at your brother from your spot on the couch, pausing the scrolling on your phone.

“Going to bed already?”

He nods as he rubs his eyes.

“Don’t stay up too late okay, you need to get some sleep.” 

You wave him off with a smile. “Yeah, yeah. Goodnight Hyunjinnie. Oh, and thanks again for letting me crash on your couch.”

“Well, I wasn’t going to let you stay at your place while the building has a gas leak.” He smiles at you before vanishing down the hallway to his bedroom. 

You chuckle to yourself as you turn your attention back to your phone. 

The night carries on like this, you slouched on the couch, scrolling through your phone as the dull sound of the tv drones on in the background. You put your phone away as you change into your pyjamas and flick off the light, ready to fall asleep mid late-night movie. You’re just about to collapse onto the couch for the night when you hear a light knock at the front door. 

You frown slightly as you glance towards it. You step forward quietly, stopping a few feet from the door and wait, listening.

Knock knock knock.

The light knock comes again. 

You glance behind you, towards your brothers’ bedroom. There’s no sign of movement. You step forward and turn the lock on the door, pulling it open a crack and peering out. 

“Chan?” 

You are shocked, to say the least. The boy in front of you smiles shyly at you.

“Hey.” His voice is hoarse. 

“What are you doing here? It’s late.”

“I came to talk to you.” 

“It couldn’t wait until the morning?” You sigh impatiently. 

“No, it couldn’t.”

“I don’t want to talk to you right now Chan.”

“Why not?”

“How did you even know I was here?” You ask, avoiding his question. 

“Woojin’s one of my best friends. He told me yesterday when I saw him that you were staying here.”

“Of course he did.” You let out a huff as you rest your head on the side of the door. 

���Gas leak, right?”

“What do you want Chan?”

“I wanted to talk to you.” 

“There’s nothing to talk about. You’re the one that ended this.” You gesture between the both of you. “Whatever this was. So can you just… go home.”

“No, I’m not going anywhere.”

“Chan, please,” You sigh again. “I’m too tired, I don’t want to listen to this okay. I can’t be bothered listening to this. I can’t be bothered with this friends with benefits thing. Just let it be over.”

“I can’t do that.”

You groan in annoyance. “Why not?”

“Because I love you god damn it!”

You feel yourself gasp. You glance behind you again and take a step outside, partially closing the door behind you and shushing Chan in the process. 

“What… what did you say?”

“I said I love you, okay? I couldn’t do the friends with benefits because I realised I had feelings for you. I called it off because I was hoping these feelings would go away. But they didn’t. I just miss you now. So damn much. And-”

“You love me?”

He stops his rambling and looks you in the eyes with a nod. 

“Yeah.” He pauses. “And when I realised I miss you, I just had to come and say something, and you probably don’t even want to see me right now but I-”

You grab his face and pull him close to you, kissing his soft lips. 

“Stop talking.” You mumble. 

He grins as he brings his hands to your hips, kissing you deeply. You wrap your arms around his neck as you push the door back open with your foot. 

“Just get in here.” You grin as you pull him inside the apartment with you.

Chan shrugs off his jacket as you pull him towards your makeshift bed on the couch. You begin to make quick work of his pants as he pulls off his shirt, letting it drop to the floor. 

“If we get caught, I’m blaming you.” You grin as you push him onto the couch. 

He makes an offended gasp as you straddle his lap, trailing kisses along his jaw and neck as his hands run along your thighs. 

“That’s hardly fair.”

You pull back and smile at him. 

“Well, you’re only on this couch right now because you told me you love me.”

He smirks as he squeezes your thighs. 

“I do.”

“Tell me again.”

“I love you.”

Your stomach does flips as his words reach your ears. You cup his face gently and bring your lips to his in a tender kiss.

“I love you too.”

His eyes scrunch up as a grin lights up his face. 

You kiss him softly once more before you begin to deepen it, rolling your hips against his. He groans deeply against your lips, causing you to giggle. You sit up straight and look over towards the hallway. 

“Shh, be quiet or you’ll wake up my brother.”

Chans’ lips find their place on your chest. His hands slide up your thighs and rest on your waist, helping you rock your hips against him again. He mumbles an ‘mmm’ at your words as he brings a hand up to your chest. He squeezes your breast before he pulls down your shirt, revealing the tender skin. His lips continue to ghost along your chest until he finally brings them to your nipple. 

You sigh at the sensation, rolling your head back on your shoulders. 

“You can’t stay tonight, okay?” You sigh. “You have to leave after this.”

He chuckles. His breath runs over your naked chest, sending shivers down your back. 

“And here I thought we were ending the friends with benefits thing.”

You can’t help but grin.

“Is this really how you want to tell your best friend that you’re sleeping with his sister?”

He grins and shrugs as he continues to mark your chest.

“Let him.” 

“Chan.” You sigh. 

“I’m serious.” He stops his assault on your body and looks up to meet your eyes, halting your movements against his body. “I don’t want to leave you ever again.”

You rest a hand on his bare chest as you run your fingers through his hair. 

“Things will be different this time. And I don’t want you to leave. But honestly, Hyunjin can’t find out by finding us on the couch in the morning. It’s not fair”

“You’re right. But, he’s asleep at the moment. So in the meantime…” He grabs the bottom of your shirt and pulls it up over your head. His eyes travel down your naked torso. He bites his lip before bringing his eyes back up to meet yours. 

“Where was I?”

[aozorasoann]

Yes yes yes all of this!

Honestly don't know if I'll write the fic idea I have but I will definitely keep jotting down ideas and we'll see if they turn into something!

Don't know how coherent this will be, probably not as much as my previous answer, it's pretty late here, but I approve the 'please cry' so much PLEASE LET THAT BOY CRY, have him snap, have his traveler friends help him through this! And also I really wish we had eight chapters for the final part, one focusing on each character. But right as I thought that I realized that there are two characters that kinda have that in their crossed path. And at the same time it made me realize... "hey you know who got a pretty understated but still really strong way to show her trauma? CASTTI!"

Vide trying to take her was such a powerful moment for both her and Ochette and it honestly feels like it could have been these two's chapter in that hypothetical final chapter, so I wonder if they could have done something that powerful for all eight (don't get me wrong, T&T bouncing off each other was great, the Osvald and Partitio thing was interesting and funny and while I complain about Agnea and Hikari serving no purpose in the plot and not really developping the characters it was still a sweet storyline, I just think it should have been a subquest... but the Castti and Ochette stuff just hits different I feel). But while I find the idea of Vide being scared of Castti after she no-selled the book super interesting, I can't help but think...

In a way, Vide has such a strong pull on Hikari at first, only to lose it by the end and this part is never really explored when it could have been the perfect way to make him snap. You could say he was immune thanks to his Lumina bloodline but we'll never know since said bloodline is never really explored, and neither is the fact that he shares the same blood as Osvald's wife and daughter (and technically, probably Throne on the other end). IT'S LIKE THEY PLANNED SO MUCH STUFF WITH THE CHARACTER BUT ONLY MANAGED TO INCLUDE THE BARE BONES IN THE GAME! (it would make sense as the artbook has kinda made me feel like they planned him and his stuff a long time before anything else, maybe they had too many ideas and had to cut a lot down to be able to focus on every character...)

So yeah, just, time to explore just how messed up EVERYTHING about Hikari is would have been great, gdi game writers if you wanted to make a game just about him than go make it! I'll pay for that dlc!

Just imagine Vide actually focusing on the characters that have thematic relevance to him. Funnily enough when I first fought Vide, my front team was Hikari, Throné, Agnea and Temenos and I'm pretty sure I could find thematic reasons for all four of them to be his targets. Hikari for being half Lumina (as well as probably being closer due to trying to save Kazan- yes by that point I'm throwing ideas at a board and see if they'd work if I ever write that fic), Throné for being his 'vessel' (something that is never really explored in that fight either), Agnea for her whole hope thematic that goes against all Vide is about, and Temenos for being a priest of Aelfric, his mortal enemy... Damn that actually does work pretty well.

Anyway I now want a whole new batch of crossed paths and one of them would be Hikari and Osvald going on a quest to figure out stuff about the Lumina and Osvald adopting Hikari because boy deserves a better family.

This went completely sideways towards the end but I guess I just started rambling and thoughts wouldn't stop coming.

I think my tldr is: they obviously had sooo many ideas when coming off with Hikari (and the game in general) that I'm almost sure they had to leave the development for some on the cutting floor but as a result I am! frustrated!

@aozorasoann Lol sorry for the tag I just rlly like talking abt this topic and I really wanted to respond-

Bruh fr tho- like as much as I like imagining that Hikari’s actually secretly bottling things up and gets to process stuff.. ..after the plot (is delusional-)

(Spoiler warning for all of the game, brief mentions of suicide but it’s never discussed in detail)

I agree that it was bad writing- We seriously needed to see Hikari actually react and process everything. But naaahhh instead we got “yeah and then he saved the kingdom and somehow cured the curse that he’s had his entire life with the power of friendship and sheer willpower!”

Like no.. that’s not how it works…

It honestly feels like the writers just- didn’t realize the sheer weight of the things that happen to him in his chapters. Like- he watched his dad die in his arms, he watched another friend die in his arms, watched his whole village burn down, his best friends all betrayed him in some way, his older brother constantly demeans him, his mom died in front of him, just when he thinks the violence ended, turned out one of his best friends was using him the whole time for some end of the world plot, who he had to watch kill himself btw, and he has intrusive thoughts, caused by a curse that threatens to consume him— which he never even got an explanation for until the 5th chapter. Like seriously- this man was living with a voice in his head since his mom’s death and everybody dismissed him when he was like “do you hear the voices too?” LIKE..

Yet all of these are treated as plot points rather than life altering traumatic events :/

Thing is- the writers KNOW how to write trauma. They did it with Throné. Hikari and Throné both have very similar stories- they were both raised in a hostile environment where violence was the norm, they both hate bloodshed, and they both have to cut through people who they considered family to continue their goals. (Throné had to cut through Mother and Father- which- while she didn’t care for mother, Father pretty much raised her… meanwhile Hikari has to fight his brother, and multiple friends.)

Why did Throné get to react? Why did Throné get to fall to her knees in despair over Claude being her bio father? Over having to kill her only father figure- and get multiple banters of party members reassuring her that everything will be okay? Why did they take Throné’s story seriously, while brushing off the things that happened to Hikari? Did they think that since he was supposed to be The Strong Warrior Character™️, he just- couldn’t have emotions???

Akxbwjxxh Hikari’s still my favorite character (it may not seem so bc I literally just tore his story apart um oops-) as it’s fun to project onto him and headcanon that he’s actually deeply affected by the things that happen to him and just bottles everything up :,D

I just wish the writers realized how heavy they made Hikari’s story and treated it that way bc seriously- what the fuck ;-;

Also sorry for the essay- this was supposed to be a paragraph um oops

I usually take forever to reply, and I’m really sorry about that… It has nothing to do with me ignoring you/that person; it’s simply a bad habit, but I understand how it makes some people really frustrated

I don’t really have any friends through this blog that I can tag… so I’m just going to tag my one other mutual, @vette-chan (I would enjoy getting to know you more, but you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, of course!)
