#SO SHE'S BEEN HELPING ME OUT WITH STUFF

[wistrea]

OK I HAVE THOUGHTS, marvel thoughts (no one is surprised),

kira is the daughter of lilith and the supposed sister of the hunter. unlike her sibling, however, she wasn't saved by sara and instead whisked away by the newly - turned lilith to be housed in the temple of chthon which is where she got her connection to chaos magic in the first place, part of lilith's debt to be paid to the elder god. as an infant, she was locked away in a stasis within the temple where she couldn't age as she was being made into a vessel for chthon. little baby kira was supposedly lost when the temple was destroyed in the battle between the hunter and their mother.

unlike the hunter, lilith wants to take kira back because she has plans for her, and she hadn't rebelled against her during the era of the first midnight suns because..... kira was a baby. literally didn't age in that cocoon of hers. 300 year old baby.

fast forward to several centuries later in the modern age wherein the ruins of the temple was found by the hand in search for a branch of ancient magic in their pursuit of immortality. that's where they found baby kira and brought her back to their compound in japan where they began their experiments on her, raising her as a weapon and she was considered a mutant with the presence of the gene on her. originally believed to just be energy manipulation + energy construct conjuration until the yokohama incident wherein her chaos magic first manifested as a kid.

when they brought her back to their headquarters in new york to expedite their plans regarding her, kira was fifteen and escaped (again lol their security sucks) and after causing a bit of a scene in new york, she ran with some criminal groups for a while to get by, before eventually she made her way up to xavier's herself because she had her little brother with her: two year old yuuichiro who was also an experiment of the hand that she had brought with her. that's how she ends up staying and later on became a part of the x-men.

after finishing university and all that years later (she's very smart, she graduated top of her class), kira started working in the atlas foundation as an archivist + archaeologist though her public day job is a lawyer for atlas law.

only when the tides of lilith's awakening causes the true depths of kira's magic to awaken, causing fluctuations in her power suddenly becoming stronger and nightmares begin to plague her, does sara finally come to find her, revealing the truth of her origins. she eventually leaves the x-men to go back to the abbey and help the caretaker in putting together the midnight suns, which kira now leads.

She came up with a new activity

This is such a harmful sentiment to push considering that you don’t necessarily have to be “attractive,” (beauty is subjective, yada yada) in order for men to want to harm you in the slightest… like man, what…

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

i heard they have a "complicated connection" with each other

AWH... I'm skipping through Roier's QSMP Day 1 VOD because I'm looking for a specific thing, and I just noticed that when Jaiden stands in front of the group to do her introduction and her mic isn't working, Mariana laughs (not in a mean way, I laughed too) and Roier immediately smacks him and tells him off for laughing.

[Timestamp ~36m 50s, volume warning for Quackity's awful mic]

It's such a little thing, but I think it's really sweet in retrospect, especially considering how Roier and Jaiden have become such good friends in recent weeks :')

What happens when a handful of average folk have had enough of missing persons cases, lost pets, and stolen goods, and decide it's time to form a secret club for fairy hunting?

Very bad things.

The Greyhound Circle was nothing more than a club of Alderhill's most staunchly anti-fairy residents at the time (the 60's). They genuinely believed that if they braved the wilderness to figure out how their enemy ticked, they could purge a good swath of fairies from the woods in the name of safety. They were wrong. So wrong in fact, that most of their members never escaped the Hill, and the few that made it out alive never set foot in the forest again.

The conflict they stirred went unbeknownst to the village, but the impact it had on the Hill and her people made history. Even with their small headcount they cleaved a brutal wound through the fairies' domain. And it cleaved through them in turn. On both sides things have undoubtedly changed, but only the Hill's people remember.

would you all think that continually rescheduling even up to the last minute before an appointment, regularly switching from call to texting even when i’ve said i find texting less helpful because it comes off more brusque, no consistent linear topic directing, constantly directing focus to my day to day life/relationship rather than anything else about me even if i express concern about the rest of it is reason to consider breaking up with a therapist

I'm not usually a person to post on many serious matters not regarding fandom on here, but as someone who watched a lot of his stuff and posted about him in the past a bunch, I just wanted to say that I'm no longer am going to interacting with any of Wilbur's content and if you support Wilbur Soot then please don't follow my blog because you are not welcome here. All strength and love to Shubble in this ✊

If anyone remembers all the dental work I needed done uhhhhhhh three years ago and never went back and ran away forever…I’m finally going back to a dentist on Thursday to restart the process and face my deep and utter abiding terror. And I also scheduled my COVID and flu vaccines for a couple hours later. And my psych appointment to restart meds.

I figured get it all done in one day, have my miserable immune reaction on Friday that I seem to always get with Moderna COVID shots, and then flee directly into the weekend and never be a person again except when I’m on and off crying. It’s going to be so kind to future me to get these things done and I can do it no matter how much I feel like I am constantly about to Actually Physically Die.

if i finish writing my fic about chilchuck teaching marcille to knit it'll be over for you guys

[robylovi]

Thinking abt that catradora ‘While You Were Sleeping’ AU fic I read that was so good it got me to watch the movie only for it to feel exactly like when you watch a movie based off a book you read and feel incredibly disappointed even though the fic clearly didn’t come first ??

((I need to jot this down because it keeps circulating in my head and BOY does it make me feel sad for Aigis! This is based off the OG FES The Answer content I’ve been watching, but considering some people may not have seen it yet, and are waiting for Reload’s DLC in a few weeks, I’ll keep this under a read more.

Aigis…cannot get rid of Orpheus. She can’t fuse it away, not because it’s locked or anything but because she can’t bear the thought of losing the protag’s initial Persona. In her eyes, it’d be the same as killing the protag themselves, and failing to protect them once again. Another reminder of the fact that the protagonist is dead. So she will keep harboring Orpheus throughout The Answer’s ordeal.

And from time to time, she’ll even talk to Orpheus as if she is talking TO the protag themselves. Since it’s the protag’s Persona, she seems to find some comfort and solace in being able to communicate with it, or at least know that there’s still a part of the protag now living inside her. This, in turn, really does no good for Aigis’ mental condition. She’ll step away from the group at times just to summon Orpheus, to ask the true leader about what she should do about their situation, to vent about everything that’s happened since the protag’s death, and PROFUSELY apologize for failing to protect them. And I’d like to think that Orpheus can provide some temporary comfort to Aigis during those times.))
