#I feel sad for her

[shinakazami1]

Been replaying New Tales and--

I get Anu in one thing. She saw her home Planet get destroyed. She had to take care of her younger brother who in her eyes was good for nothing. She somehow landed a job and thought it wss because Rhys saw potential in her. Her hero did. She wanted to get approval and safety, she forgot to care for others before the game.

I get Anu.

She found security in Atlas.

Too bad Rhys has changed....

Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

EVErlasting

The ethereal bell tower began to ring out, echoing across the moss-covered cobblestone. The sound wove around ivy vines spiraling around marble statues missing various limbs. Impossibly loud clanger struck against her ears; she sank to her knees and screamed out. How many nights was she meant to endure the ringing bell? She counted the tolls, one, two, three... twelve. Midnight. She scraped a broken nail into the cobblestone beneath her bloodied knees. The tally lines are too many to count. She does not remember why she began keeping track. She would be in the garden eternally.

She paused to consider the concept of eternity. When she was mortal eternity could be little more than a single lifetime. It was impossible to perceive more than that. She would only experience one person’s worth of misery, joy, love, hate. However, as she looks around the garden, tears streaming down her withered cheeks, she wonders how many lifetimes of misery a human soul can endure before it breaks. She knows she was not made to be eternal, and yet, she finds herself existing in this place; infinitely.

For a while, she became numb to the menial, backbreaking toil that she was enslaved to. The pain comes in waves; sometimes she is able to shut it out. The woman reminisced on how she came to this place. She could not recall the exact details, but she knew that it involved a desperate thirst for knowledge; beyond what she was spiritually allowed to thirst for. There were those who warned her that she would seal the fate of her kind if she were to pursue her desires. Disregarding their warnings, the woman proceeded. She no longer remembers why it was important for her to have the knowledge.

At the end of her human life she found herself wandering the garden she was created in. Once a beautiful grove meant to sustain life and inspire peace, the garden had fallen into horrible disrepair. Creations molded by the ultimate artist lay disheveled around the grounds, covered in snaking weeds. Branches of trees that produced the sweetest fruits hung wearily, shriveled and colorless. The greenest grass turned to gray, almost as if covered in ash; formerly vibrant rose bushes now left with only thorns.

She remembers that the garden had once been full of life; creatures of all kinds lived together in harmony, wanting for nothing. She remembered the soft fur of the mammals and the rough, warm skin of the reptiles. She pictured the days when the rivers flowed through the garden, carrying colorful fish and algae. She imagined the koi pond she once cherished, and the set of koi who would swim in entrancing circles.

Mostly, she wished that the one she was created from was there with her. She wondered why he was not to endure the same eternal punishment. She was aware that she was always an afterthought and he, the original, was favored. In her human life, she was nothing more than a servant to him. Commanded to be second to him, docile, quiet, subservient. But now, she wonders, would it be different? Long the question has run through her mind, why wasn’t she as important, as loved? Despite a life of service to him, she desperately missed him. He was all she knew. The only other one she had ever known. The work, the pain, it would be more bearable if she were not alone.

She thinks that perhaps, he does endure the same punishment. Perhaps, despite being the favorite, he was to be punished in the end. But, the loneliness must be part of the misery, and so he was doomed to work his own garden, without her. The artist’s cruel justice is unparalleled. She knows that it would not be implausible for the other to experience the same as her. Part of her had hope that he does not; part of her desperately wishes that he does.

Her body jolted, she must get back to work. Her calloused hands pushed her from the ground. The woman once again began pulling weeds, knowing they would grow back the very next sunrise. The thought crossed her mind; was this punishment really deserved? The desire to be like You; to know evil and good? If it is wrong to have that knowledge... are You wrong, Father?

Just Sisters Supporting Sisters

A new pop-up store dropped for ALIEN STAGE's 2nd anniversary and wow. It's so sick.

It's Interesting what exactly these experiments are focusing on and monitoring.

Instrument practice

I found it interesting earlier that Till was so tame, more so than he usually is when he's going through experiments, but music, and making music is what he loves doing, So he was fully in his element here. This was probably the only thing he was made to do by the aliens that he at least tolerated.

(Additionally, judging by his collar (orange), he was at least calm. maybe he just isn't fazed anymore.)

//Side note, that head contraption looks familiar BUT this most likely isn't related at least i hope

(It puts me at ease, at least..)

Dance practice

This surprised me, but I suppose Mizi needed more skills.

She looks very startled here, and nervous(?) +It looks like she's doing this while singing. And with that face covering I assume this was a test monitoring her dance balance, precision, etc. At first, I did think it was odd, "Why would Shine put her through that" But alas I was reminded that even though Mizi is the flower of the group she was never untouchable, to Shine, this was the equivalent of teaching your dog to sit and stay.

(seeing this it reminded me of those scenes in movies where the people are dancing, and the music gets faster and faster until they fall. I wonder if she was doing through something similar to that)

Singing practice (?)

Similar to Till she also looks quite calm outwardly, if the machine around her neck is an iteration of the collars they have, then this process wasn't something she liked, or given how intense this experiment looks, this was a test of high-pressure to ensure she always stayed calm during performances (?). Then again this could also be a posture practice given all the structure focused on maintaining her position.

(What I believe was another form of this test was shown before so I think so)

(With her hands in a praying stance I wonder if she was praying to herself or singing a religious song (sweet dream?) It's also interesting that the machinery around her looks like a halo, and she looks so...angelic? holy?)

Image making practice

By image making, I think they made Ivan replicate expressions with his face. Whether this process was painful for him or not...I'm not sure. But it looked visibly uncomfortable, maybe that was the point. (His expression, even in this circumstance is so dubious..)

Ivan, among other things, needed to have a spotless appearance to be successful, his image was a priority given his skills were certainly guaranteed.

I assume the aliens eventually took note of his lack of expression, in the real world this can be a detriment to one's career, so the Aliens had to ensure quality was perfect. (To a more...dedicated level)

Superiority test

'Superiority test' Is very vague.

HyunA is very calm here too, likely sedated in that water with all the tablets on her. I guess this was a test to get an idea of a pet human's strengths and weaknesses, endurance, and temperament to compare and contrast them with others, testing who is more viable for Alien stage?

Another interesting, and sad part about this is that HyunWoo was there, watching his sister through her experiments.

(Also, it looks like both of her legs are normal, no alien leg yet.)

Heart rate variability

And finally, the most visceral of them all. The wording 'variability' makes this all the more sickening, the Aliens were testing his heart hours, testing it at different rates, speeds, and states. And he was in agony the entire time. Even the way he's clutching his chest, it gives me chills. This would've been a completely harmless test in a normal setting, as something quite similar to this can be performed efficiently in real life. But he's being tortured in the process.

This is one of the first times we've ever seen Luka's face so truly clear and unprotected, (understandably so.) He's even crying.

Part of me still wants you, but the rest of me knows we were never meant to fit.

[thats-a-mood-gabriella]

You know what kills me. Via understandably feels like she's been left behind, like Stolas has chosen Blitz instead of her. That they've gone off and formed a relationship she can't be a part of.

And in the same episode as she confronts Stolas about that, she has no idea that the "shitty boyfriend" is daydreaming about not just having Stolas and his own daughter in his life, but about HAVING VIA THERE TOO.

Like I completely get why she thinks she's been left out, but the irony of the very guy she thinks is the cause of her exclusion, actually of his own accord, without prompting from anyone, yearning for her to be part of it, to become family.

It is killing me. In Blitz's perfect family daydream, he has TWO daughters, not just one. He's gonna love her so hard when she's willing to let him.

My mind still wanders to a future we’ll never share.
