#a spark by the river

[arcadiandeath]

Mother, father, brother, little sister! 

When you read this letter, I will already be dead or close to death. I know what a severe blow my act will be to you, but don't be angry at me. Unfortunately, we are not alone in this world. I am not doing this because I would be tired by life, on the contrary, because I cherish it too much. Hopefully my act will make life better. I know the price of life and I know it is the most precious thing. But I want a lot for you, for everyone, so I have to pay a lot. Do not lose your heart after my sacrifice, tell Jacek to study harder and Marta too. You must never accept injustice, be it in any form, my death will bind you. I am sorry that I will never see you or that, which I loved so much. Please forgive me that I fought with you so much. Do not let them make me a madman. 

Say hi to the boys, the river and the forest.

Hi, I just realized:

In the actor AU will the Lost Kid's father be IK's real father (Zhao) or will Zhao be cast randomly? I think he was mainly in the last chapter in JTTA so it would be funny if they just forgot about it when casting and have to quickly find someone. XD

"shit we forgot to cast the dad for the brief but emotional reunion scene JUST GRAB A DUDE OFF THE STREET"

y'know, excluding the epilogue, zhao's only 'on-screen' scene in jtta only calls for the ability to look sad and tired, and gasp really loudly, which i think he could pull off. the directors are just like "oh, ik's dad has a really good sad face? the sad face is basically his resting expression? he gets emotional really easily? well goddamn HE'S HIRED"

poor zhao is just visiting his daughter and all of a sudden he's being yanked onto set and having make-up applied to his dark circles to make him look even more haggard

She lies on silver pillows: the sun leans over her. He warms and warms her, kisses and kisses her. There are sparks in her hair and she stirs in laughter.

Sparkstember Day 6: Big Beat

[fluffypinkposts]

When I die look for my soul here

[apollosopera]

completely forgot to post these, here’s days 6 and 8 of Sparkstember (didn’t have time to do 7):

big beat was probably one of the hardest to come up with a drawing for so far because ive barely ever listened to it, but no. 1 in Heaven was an instant success for me

“There was something sad about her-sitting so still with her legs against her chest, the moonlight coloring her hair silver. No bold, swaggering expressions strutted across her face as the glow of the castle rippled in her eyes.

He found her beautiful, if a bit strange and sour. It was something in the way that her eyes sparked when she looked at something lovely in the landscape. He couldn't understand it.

She stared at the castle unflinchingly, her form silhouetted against the blazing brightness that sat on the edge of the Avery River. Clouds gathered above them and she raised her head. Through a clearing in the swirling mass, a cluster of stars could be seen. He couldn't help thinking that they gazed down at her.

No, he had to remember she was an assassin with the blessing of a pretty face and sharp wits. She washed her hands with blood, and was just as likely to slit his throat as offer him a kind word. And she was his Champion. She was here to fight for him--and for her freedom. And nothing more. He lay down, his hand still upon his sword, and fell asleep.

Still, the image haunted his dreams throughout the night: a lovely girl gazing at the stars, and the stars who gazed back.”
