#Mika mumbles

[mikaikaika]

Something went wrong with them. Pangi, Ros, and Aimsey ventured into Null — and each returned bearing wounds only they can feel. Days felt like years, reality slipped through their fingers, and the Keepers wouldn’t let them leave. When they finally escaped, it was clear they hadn’t left unscathed — something in Null has changed them.

Ros… Ros came back with memory loss. Once the queen of joy and whimsy, she’s now quiet, sad, and distant. The light in her eyes has faded, her once-vibrant spirit dulled to a shadow of what it was. Barring Pangi and Aimsey, her memories of everyone else are muddled — even ones of herself almost like she lost a part of herself in that void. 

Aimsey’s corruption has only grown worse. The sculk they were already fighting has taken a deeper hold, and their worst fear has been confirmed: their own faction doesn’t even care enough to want to save them.

And Pangi — oh, poor Pangi. As if his week wasn’t already terrible enough, now there’s something else brewing inside him. Purple corruption, creeping through his body, perhaps slowly possessing him while he tries to act like everything’s fine. But it’s not. And soon, it won’t be.

And yet the Keepers claim that the null was free from corruption….so what happened to them? They escaped the physical space — but some doors, once opened, never truly close. And sometimes, the things you bring back are far worse than what you left behind.

[Looking forward to Orphy & Alice's interaction in AoM2 # 16 | 🧐📰🥮]

🥮MERRY TRUNG THU!!🥮

Truth to be told, I did not plan to draw this like. At all. Because I just finished exam and got beaten up by insomnia and fatigue.

But seeing people, even though they grew up, still enjoying childish joy to walk with lanterns on this day, kind of inspired me.

It reminded me of my days as a Viet kid in Ukraine, and how the adults in our community still hosted the festival. I remember how my mom told me the bánh nướng represents the earth, and bánh dày represents the sky. The kids eat mooncakes, played with lanterns, sometimes fireworks were involved too. Now that I think about it, maybe that's how I grew up reminded of my roots.

(You did not expect this story under the read more, did you? Neither did I!)

That's why I drew something. I want something with a homey and warm, cosy feeling for this occassion. Now I also want to color this, but again, I am fatigued and need sleep 😩 😩 😩

I can really tell how well my Spanish as gotten cause most of the time I van watch Roier without subtitles especially when he talks to Quackity or Rivers. So I've a good grasp on mexican Spanish but him talking to Spreen or carre is where I falter cause understanding different accents is much harder

[terrifictiefling]

Critters, can any of you tell me what the tickets for the live show in London will roughly cost? I'd love to go but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it

[mikadayo]

loading silly thoughts...im going to the mall and began to imagine a mall date w/Leon ♡

just the two of you walking through one of the many entrances into some department store you can't even remember the name of. there's some people, not a lot—something of a slow day. you're there to do some kind of clothes shopping, seeing as some items just don't fit as they used to, and while he doesn't need anything, Leon comes just because he wants to watch you dress up ♡

[merakiui]

i was listening to mafumafu's cover of jailbreak and realized the mv has a trope i love very much!!!! with childhood friends trope, i also love it when two characters grew up having much the same motive (in the case of kuina and kawasemi, the song's characters, wanting to escape the caged city they're confined to). but then the characters mature and end up walking down separate paths, whether purposely or not or because life just happened and that was the cards they were handed, and now they can't stand on the same side because life/duty/etc compels them to remain set in their ways.

it hurts in the best way to see kuina chasing after kawasemi to apprehend him and stop him from flying the plane. and then he has no choice but to helplessly watch what ultimately becomes of his friend when the plane engine overheats and explodes... AAAAAAAAAA it hurts, but it hurts so good. T_T i can't even begin to ramble about the symbolism and the fact that they're named after birds... neru's brain is too big... orz

in short, i just really like the trope of two childhood friends with the same goal/dream, something happens that causes one of them to deviate from or abandon that goal/dream, and then they later reunite as changed individuals, with one still clinging to the goal/dream and the other having lost hope in it entirely. bonus points if one of them is hunting the other down for whatever reason hehe. <3

[exhausted-impact]

Good: I got Tighnari for the first time today pulling on the Ayaka banner! 🍃

Great: I got Mika in my first ten pull!! ❄️

Best: Now I have a guaranteed 5-star 🤩 I'll save for an Archon...unless Yoimiya/Hu Tao/Yelan show up first 😆

[mikaikaika]

It’s heartbreaking how Pangi and Ros's stories mirror each other now that they've both been consumed by grief, yet they diverge in such stark ways. Pangi, has finally embraced the violence he once held back from, while Ros, who has always struggled with direction, finally made the hardest choice of their life—to walk away.

Both were deeply loyal and gave everything. Yet neither could save the ones they loved most and now are completely untethered. Pangi has bloodshed as his outlet, a path fueled by rage and loss. But Ros? She is stepping into the unknown, without the faction that once defined them. And in some ways, that uncertainty is even more terrifying.

It’s tragic, yet poetic—one turns to bloodshed, the other to solitude. Pangi has fury to guide him, but Ros- Ros walks a path with no map

teaser under the cut!

It’s a black sedan that rolls up next to you, slower than what’s considered a normal speed on an empty street. It honks and you nearly halt, owing to the shake that passes through your knees. It honks again, and you can’t help but look to the side to find a window rolled down. 

Mingyu sits on the driver’s seat, leaning over to the empty passenger side to grab your attention. 

“The Uber’s free! So is the driver,” he yells out the window. “Hop in.”

“I’m alright. I kinda wanna walk.” You shift your weight between your feet, the distance adding an awkward feel. 

“Wasn’t asking. It’s the middle of the night, I’m not letting you walk alone.” As he speaks, another car passes from behind him, slowing down. You note the look the other driver is giving you through the window, and it’s enough to convince you to step into Mingyu’s car. 

“I think we’re way past the point of formalities, don’t know why you hesitated.” He chuckles as he motions for you to click on your seatbelt. You fumble with it for a moment, his own fingers coming to the rescue to latch it on. You retract your fingers before they can brush with his own any further. 

Settling into your seat, you choose to look forward as he picks up speed. “Uhm, just wanted to walk, it was nice outside.”

“Take someone with you next time, it’s nearly midnight,” he warns. 

There’s a twinge of annoyance that emerges in the back of your mind for some reason, despite knowing full well that he was right. You just didn’t want to hear it from him.

It’s silent for a bit as the radio plays an uncharacteristically upbeat tune, prompting you to wonder if it was just you who felt the atmosphere pressing in on your chest.

“Did you not bring your car today?” he asks out of the blue, eyes remaining on the road as you glance up at him. One look at his side profile and you’re turning your gaze away.

“No, it’s at the workshop. I came with Nayeon.” 

“Why didn’t you leave with her?”

“I…” You pause. “I told her I was gonna go with Seok.”

“Hm. That didn’t happen.”

“It’s like I said,” you mumble.

He hums again in response, dropping the subject.

“Listen, are you…are you okay?” he starts again and it has you looking back up at him. 

“Why wouldn’t I be?” You try to hide the bitterness in your tone but it proves difficult.

“I couldn’t help but overhear but I was sitting right there. Hao was talking to Mika about something she’d said to you, about…” He trails off. “I mean, you looked a little upset, I just wanted to ask if you were okay.”

You bit your tongue. Hard. 

He knew you were staring at him, he knew you weren’t over him. He knew you were still standing on the same square confinement from months ago. Never changed. 

“I’m fine,” you reply, snappier than you had intended. 

“Are you sure? I felt like I should’ve said something but Nayeon was right there so I thought…” He sounds unsure and when you see him look at you, with eyes filled with an emotion that makes you nearly gag, you almost lose it. You did not want him to pity you. Nor care for you; especially when it came from a place that nullifies your feelings. You didn’t want him to care for you for the sole reason that you were his best friend’s sister. 

“Mingyu, I think it’s best if you drop it.”

“Of course. But it might help if you wanna, you know, feel your feelings.” 

Fuck no, you weren’t crying in front of him. Not when you're sure he’s noticed the tear stains on your makeup.

“Mingyu, I said drop it. I don’t need your help, I don’t need to feel anything, I need you stop feeling like you’re obligated to care about me because you’re not.” The words come tumbling out before you can stop them, irritation laced in every snap and dent.

He says your name in an attempt to smooth you over. It only lands him in more trouble.

“No, listen, I get it. You’re uncomfortable about everything but you feel like you need to check up on me at the same time, and I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to worry about that. What happened, happened, and it’s my job to pick up the pieces because it’s my fault. You don’t need to meddle.” You’re breathing hard as you finish, finally settling back in your seat. 

He’s already pulling up to your building, heat still penetrating the silence. You unbuckle your seatbelt, mumbling a thanks for the ride. 

“Seok’s staying at Cheol’s tonight,” he calls out as you shuffle out the door. “Remember to lock the door.” 

You stand sheepishly holding the open door as you nod quietly. “I’ll see you tomorrow for the shoot.”

[mikadayo]

more yearning..you understand right?

i see so many headcanons for it and i can definitely say Leon wearing nail polish is one of my favorite headcanons ever. like imagine coming home from something like a day of work or school and sitting down to do his nails as stress relief. you bust out your nail kit, and instead of giving you a specific design, he just lets you do whatever you want.. oughh beloved ♡

𓆩⟡𓆪 CHONGYUN

࿐ He's immediately worried. "What happened? Did someone do this to you? Do you need to go to Bubu Pharmacy?" ࿐ His hands shake as he lets his hands trail your wounds, just to see how bad they are.

He'd make you something good to eat, massage your sore muscles from the expedition, and although he isn't too keen on being affectionate because of his condition, he does it anyway to make you feel better ࿐ "Is... Is this okay? I'm not being too much, am I..?"

𓆩⟡𓆪 EULA

࿐ "The Adventures Guild needs to stop giving you more than you can handle.."

𓆩⟡𓆪 LAYLA

࿐ Very tired but still manages to notice your wounds. ࿐ She's very slow at bandaging them, sometimes spacing off while she does but she truly wants to show she cares. ࿐ However, she's neglecting a very important research paper for the Akademiya for this. ࿐ You urge her to work on it, but she responds, "You're more important."

𓆩⟡𓆪 MIKA

࿐ You tell him it's fine, but he's insistent on helping you. ࿐ He patches up your wounds, making sure not a bit of the scratches are peaking, lest you get an infection ࿐ Mika's hands are gentle and soft, and he asks for small permissions to do certain things for you. ࿐ "Please be more careful next time, I don't know what I'd do with myself if you were in a worse condition.."

𓆩⟡𓆪 ROSARIA

࿐ Watches from afar as you limp over to a chair, seeming to be observing how bad your injury truly is. ࿐ She finally approaches with a small sigh, her hands going to bandage you up. ࿐ "Idiot.."

She gives a gentle kiss to your forehead

𓆩⟡𓆪 SHENHE

࿐ Immediately assumes someone or something did this to you. "Tell me right now, who did this?" ࿐ After much assurance, she cools down a bit and gently tends to your wounds, still mumbling about how if someone did this to you, she'll kill them. ࿐ She's sure to be extra protective of you for the remainder of the day, brushing your hair back and being attentive to all your small needs. ࿐ "Just sit here, and be all pretty, darling. I'll take care of you now~"

𓆩⟡𓆪 WRIOTHESLEY

࿐ "Awe, sweetheart.. A wound?" He's very teasing on this matter, laughing at how you, of all people, have gotten this beat up. ࿐ He teases that you're so upset over small scratches, but when you tear up, he bites his tongue. ࿐ "I'm sorry, dear. That was inconsiderate of me." ࿐ He makes it up to you by kissing the wounds gently, cuddling with you, spooning you up like you deserve. ࿐ He even feeds you your favorite snacks, so you won this time.
