patrochilles / fairy tale AU / complete (40k words)

There is a curse. A destiny, as his mother loves to remind him. A war. An unknown future, somewhere out there in the fighting and killing. But here, there is only the sun and the grass and Achilles’s swift feet. Here, there is Patroclus sitting in the shade. Here, Achilles pulls him closer and puts his arms around him, staining their clothes with charcoal dust from sketched out dreams. Patroclus sinks into him heavily. The sound of their breathing is the only thing they can hear, as though the clearing—their clearing— is a shield hiding them from the rest of the world. “Take me with you,” Patroclus tells him at the same time that Achilles says, “Please come with me.”

In the tiny kingdom of Phthia, a golden prince is cursed with invulnerability except for a vulnerable heel. An exile apprenticed to a shoemaker is commissioned by the palace to create a shoe the prince can fight in.

A fairy tale about a curse, a magical shoe, a war, a doomed hero, an exile, destiny, and love despite everything.

Man if Marcy keeps ending up with like child protection services in all these fics over her parents being slightly distant then my parents should be in JAIL

[anglerflsh]

I like talking to my parents it's a fun game of "which one of us is gaslighting the other This Time?"

[constantvariations]

As fun as it is to dunk on Griffon, I think it's also important to remember how he saved and constantly looked after V for his entire existence. Vergil would never have returned without the compassion of his nightmares

Does anyone understand how to organize. Like how to make it work. Like how to keep spaces clean and your body clean? Does anyone know how to fight back the ever stronger rip tide of filth and clutter that takes over them? Also I'm sleepy.

[s-ccaam-era-crepe]

[chooey]

my head hurts from crying so much lol

[fingertipsmp3]

Why did I get paranoid about how no one has checked the work I submitted yet. It’s literally Sunday

[ii-zi]

i want a nice big house. a garden with trees, creeping thyme as a ground cover, and flowers. a nice big catio. tons of storage. a living room. proper trashcans. my own bedroom. well planned windows for proper ventilation. solar panels. roof access to see the stars. well planned water system so we have fresh water available in summer and warm in winter without spending thousands a month. outdoors lighting. a backyard door. a fence. enough space to steal my baby and my grandma and give them the life they deserve. a desk. space to build whatever the fuck i want. house decor. proper doors. less stubby ceiling heights.

decided to finally start transferring some of my shitty fanfiction pitches that i've been tossing at friends or into my tiny notebook onto my master doc (which i haven't touched since like, mid-may apparently), only to discover that i??? can't seem to edit gdocs on my laptop for some reason???? like it won't recognize any keyboard inputs, including ctrl+c/ctrl+v???

and i'm like "okay fine let's see if it works on a different acct" so i open up the doc to anyone w/the link n am abt to switch to one of my other accts, but half of them are like signed out, so i'm like "whatever" n go to sign in, but it repeatedly tells me that sign-in has failed w/o even letting me try typing in a password????

so i'm like "ugh fine whatever" and i turn off the vpn i got like two days ago to see if THAT does anything (it doesn't) and so i start googling the problem, trying various things, but all of them are like "oh yeah use google chrome for this" or "on your chromebook" or "install this google chrome extension!" and i'm like!!!!

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK. YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*screams into pillow*

i'm going to rip google to shreds with my own HAND-FILED SHARPENED TEETH at this rate

[pepprs]

hi update things are fucking terrible and my eyes hurt from sobbing. lol

[nuppu-nuppu]

hello 🥲🫂 jfjwjfke idk how useful or helpful this is but as someone who wrote that post a few months ago i just want to say that even if i still have those moments of,,,, i like to call it chronic loneliness cause it feels like it never truly ends but as a whole i’m a lot better now and a lot less lonely and i want to say that it definitely gets better even if it feels like it never will :”) sending hugs 🫂🫂

I'm glad you're not feeling as lonely as you did ;; thank you for sending this to me, it just sometimes feels like this chronic loneliness is a weighted blanket on my whole body that doesn't let me get out or connect with anyone so it gives me a little bit of hope to know that someday it might not be like this. I wanna cry, thank you. Sending hugs back!! We can fight this <333

[onlyseokmins]

say you and seokmin are getting married. what would both of your vows be like?

asking for science and bc i just watched this one youtuber i adore getting married and her and her husbands vows were so cute and i sobbed

i've been thinkin abt this ask since i saw it and was so ill over it like i haven't already been ill over kyeom as it is ajskdjf. first off - that's super cute congrats to them. as much as the dedicated spinster i am, i am a romantic at heart and keep tearing up at the fact that like proposal, ceremony, or both - i just know this man is putting his whole heart into it. he types novels on weverse just imagine him writing his vows i'm legit crying rn thinking of it. he's probably someone reminisces a ton - will remember little moments or things about you and bring them up. def will want to throw in funny tidbits to make people laugh. but ultimately... i think he would cry. he probably would break down mid-speech and then be so upset when he can't finish or takes too long lmao ;; he may or may not try to memorize them but istg it'd be like a whole packet long and wrinkled af after going through them so many times </3 my heart

Shining Force All Ship HQ Quotes - JP & ENG

Regular HQ quotes here

HQ quotes from SF2 here

HQ quotes from Final Conflict here

Ken:

"It's my first time ever being in a ship this big."

Luke: english version is accurate

Tao:

"So this is a ship... I've always wanted to ride on one at least once."

Hans:

"What if I'm thrown into the sea... When I imagine that I get so, so scared. I wonder how the others feel."

Lowe:

"Unnngh, I feel sick... It'd be great to learn a spell that could heal seasickness..."

"Traveling by ship is great too... If you lend an ear to the sounds of the waves, you can hear the words of the ocean."

Gort: english version is accurate

This might contradict the GBA version, where Gort has a tragic story involving the ocean, and is not thrilled to battle at sea.

Of course, disliking to fight at sea isn't the same as dislike the sea, though. At the same time, Max’s diary also portrays him as seasick, so it does feel like the writers really had different ideas on this.

Mae: english version is accurate save for changing her intonation at the end

Khris:

"The others seem to be sick. Maybe I should’ve given them some medicine."

Anri:

"We're finally going to the eastern continent. I wonder if we'll ever see Guardiana again..."

Arthur:

"I have no experience fighting on a ship. Will I be able to fight well?"

Balbaroy: english version is mostly accurate, though I feel JP Balbaroy is a little pushier/passive aggressive

"Those of use who can fly are great in sea battles. Doesn't hurt to keep that in mind."

Amon:

"Has Balbaroy already talked to you about this? We are very helpful in sea battles since we can fly."

Diane:

"I bet my skills will be useful to intercept enemies from here on the ship."

Zylo:

"I can't relax while on this ship. It's far too different from a forest..."

Pelle:

"We knights might not be that good at a sea battle..."

Yogurt:

“…I don’t get it…”

As usual, Yogurt gets always the same line in japanese, while the localization decides to remove the gag and pretend he's a normal character.

Kokichi:

"Oh, I'm worried. What will I do if I fall to the sea? I can't swim..."

Vankar:

"Uugh, I feel sick... No, no, not from drinking, it's the sea."

Domingo:

“Ahem. Did yu know? No one here believs it but, the ocean and wivers are connected."

Guntz:

"I hate the sea! I mean, my engine and armor are all gonna rust here."

Earnest:

"I'm fine with sea voyages. Since I've traveled through many other countries, I've been in ships before."

Alef:

As I’ve shown yesterday, Alef has a line set up for this HQ in the US version of the game even though she’s not normally available at this point (both screenshots above are using Debug Mode). I have now confirmed the same doesn’t happen in the JP version, where she has an empty “0“ string like the other late game characters (Torasu, Lyle, Bleu, Musashi, Hanzou, and Adam).

Finally, the JP version also has an extra tidbit about Queen Koron having sent the ship’s priest:

"I'm a priest. Queen Koron of Pao asked me to come along you in this ship. Sea voyages can be dangerous, so I hope someone like me can be of help to you."

I'm still thinking a lot about Ion's grave, and then ranking Ion below Orupeusu in terms of "Most Loved" of the Sunchildren

If you go by Ion's grave, there's a lot of sigils around it -- sigils that you may come across while traversing Enkanomiya (I don't really know if it means much of anything, but iirc I think the sigils also looked like the map of Watatsumi Island--). Maybe the sigils were something related to Ion's fortunetelling for his people -- a charm of good luck he'd give to them to give them some assurance against whatever bad fate awaited them

I guess my brain's going a few different ways with this:

Maybe the people gave Ion sigils to commemorate him because of the joy he'd bring with his fortunes for them. To express their love and gratitude for his act of kindness

In the face of all the false fortunetelling he did, the people would choose to neglect Ion instead, meaning that these sigils instead were made by his caretaker to commemorate him when no one will.

On the same note, because of the false fortunetelling,the people would cast aside the sigils given to them by the Sunchild, returning it back to the Sunchild's side at his tomb. Numbers of false promises of a better life than the one dealt to them.
