#and Ki'to loves every second of it

[humblemooncat]

"And when you look at me with those eyes, oh, how I could fall in love all over again"

Hi guys, I'm home! And I brought some wholesome catboys with me!

Thank you all for the sweet messages while I've been away, I'm feeling way more able to battle my brain now. Just good to have those breaks every once in a while to reset.

But! I didn't forget about the wholesome gposes I promised, so I had some fun posing the boys last night. Somehow these two always make for the cutest shots. I love them sm.

I have been given a blessing this day, for I too love songs

In no specific order, have all 5 under the cut. <3

Famous by Skillet

This song was shoved into Ki'to's playlist specifically for his relationship with G'raha from the beginning of EW.

I testify, this is not a secret meant to keep Your love, like fire, spreading from my heart straight to my feet

And when I was dead, you gave me new life I'm lifting you up with all of my might I don't care who's to the left, to the right You're all that's on my mind Don't really care what they say, what they think I feel so alive

Listen, Ki'to was SO giddy when he pulled Raha out of that tower. After thinking he was lost to him, the excitement he felt was probably more than it should have been. But it was what he felt, and it was expressed as such. For the first week or so after, he would not leave Raha's side. The PDA got to the point where Alisaie dragged him away by the collar and told him to tone it down. They're way better with it now but hoo boy. This song just gives me that feeling in my chest I know he was feeling at that point.

Hollywood's Bleeding by Post Malone

This is THE Post-banquet song for Ki'to. For that whole flashback, you can read it here. But I'll go over these in chunks here as well.

Everyone's gone, but no one's leavin' Nobody left but us

As Ki'to lingers outside the ruins, Alphinaud begging him to hurry, all he can think of is everyone who stayed behind.

Outside, the winter sky turnin' grey City up in smoke, it's only ash when it rains

This is more the transition to Coerthas. The banquet felt like fire and smoke encircling and threatening to consume him. He couldn't move, couldn't breathe, his mind was spinning. He could barely discern snow from ash.

It seem like dying young is an honor But who'd be at my funeral? I wonder

It really did seem like the whole world was against him at that point. All of his friends gone save for a lone few. Who would mourn the Warrior of Light if he died then?

I go out, and all they eyes on me I show out, do you like what you see? And now they closin' in on me Let 'em sharpen all they teeth

Never before had Ki'to been so ready to fight anyone who even looked at him the wrong way. Every unknown face was an enemy. It took a WHILE for his hackles to finally relax.

Resurrection by TeZATalks

This is one of the songs I chose to encapsulate ShB for Ki'to.

I'm made from the root of a God's mind Holy darkness follows me close behind

Knowing what we know of Venat now, the first line here speaks to me. As for the second, Holy darkness makes a lot of sense with our mission on the First.

I'm rude but I'll give 'till my last dime Real love stays even for the fight All eyes on me, is that right? Well, let me show you why we all cry Sometimes, sometimes, yeah

Ki'to was willing to give his all to bring back the night. With every Lightwarden the light became heavier to bear, but even if it pushed him to tears he was going to press on. He had to. His loved ones were counting on him to save them.

When your heart's on fire and bleeding In a world of faceless demons, fight to see them Hell will come for the one whose soul reveals it But don’t break, back down; don't move, rise now, the real truth This is only the beginning of my true resurrection

At first glance you might think "Oh, faceless demons? Sin eaters?" Nah. This cluster of lyrics is about Amaurot. About the shades, the illusions of those he loves, Emet-Selch...

"This is only the beginning of my true resurrection" alluding to his own rejoining with another shard of his soul. Hades recognizing Azem at last.

Light by Nathan Wagner

This song I dedicate to the Ataiascope & Mothercrystal section of EW. Specifically the relationship between Ki'to and Hydaelyn.

I know you feel that it's too late That all these chains have you enslaved Just hang on Gonna see the truth

I feel this as him telling her all this was not a futile effort. That they will prevail and every effort she made to forestall the end of days was not in vain.

See I was falling into gray I lost my friend I couldn't save her

Post-Mothercrystal vibes, especially when reuniting with Krile.

Body ached my body bruised was crying out I need a savior And you came and healed my bones you picked me up and walked me home Said; you'll never be alone just lift your eyes I'll make you whole So darling please keep hanging on we're on our way to break the dawn Just a minute hold your ground father send your spirit down

His thanks to Hydaelyn for being there when he needed her (when she could), and a promise that he will be there for her as well.

Come, shine, shine, shine Shine your light Light, light, light Oh shine, shine, shine Shine your light, light, light Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be light

This just gives me the mental image of him before her form after they prove themselves, just... begging for her to be okay. But knowing full well her light was spent.

Ki'to loved Hydaelyn/Venat like his own mother. To say he was heartbroken when she was gone would be an understatement. But in the back of his mind he was happy she'd finally be able to rest.

Home by Jacob Lee

And we'll end off with Ki'to's dedication to his husbands. <3

Each verse is dedicated to one of them:

Aymeric

I found love in a moment I watched your breath as it touched the wind As it painted the open air And it came to rest on my skin I don't know if you noticed But I found my heart in that moment

G'raha

I've found home There we lay by the water Almost asleep as I heard you say "I don't know if we're meant to be Though this certainly feels like fate" I don't know if you noticed But I fell in love in that moment

Estinien

As we stood by the ocean You reached for my hand and you said my name Every word I heard poetry I saw laughter upon your face I don't know if you noticed But I left my heart in that moment

And the bridge is dedicated to all three of them. <3

I've found home In my arms as you wake up (Home) In each direction this takes us (Home) In every breath that I make I'll know I've found home, I've found home Whether we lie in or stay up late I feel like we could just talk for days Through every hour I lay awake, all I know Is I've found home (Ohh, ohh) I've found home

Get to know me!

Tagged by @sasslett! I was planning on doing a munday thing, so this is perfect! <3

Share your wallpaper: I loved this shot as soon as I took it, and considering I could use something warm in this weather, the view seemed perfect!

The last song you listened to: I'll do ya one better and give you what I'm currently listening to. I can't do housework without music tbh.

Red Lights by Hyunjin & Bang Chan of Stray Kids

Also, maybe gonna start with this song for the playlist screenshots today. >:3c

Though the last one was a Japanese cover of Unholy so I don't know what my playlist is hinting at...

Currently Reading: I honestly haven't picked up a novel in about a decade, as much as I hate to admit it. Last one I read front to back was the Hobbit.

Last Movie: Funny enough, my last movie marathon was the Hobbit movies. xD

Craving: At risk of sounding like a needy sap, a good long cuddle session. But, also a pint of good chocolate ice cream and some hot cocoa.

What are you wearing right now: Pajama pants and my favorite hoodie. One of those thick, soft bois.

How tall are you: 155cm / just shy of 5'1 (There's a reason Ki'to's minimum height)

Piercings: I used to have two in each ear, but the second holes closed up after a while. Also planning on getting a septum ring sometime in the future.

Tattoos: I've got two, the Eye of Horus on the back of my neck, and a personal family design on my wrist which I got with my mother. I also plan on getting a delicate snake design on my forearm soon.

Glasses? Contacts?: Nope! I have been blessed enough to have good eyesight where I don't need them.

Last drink: Coffee. Honestly, I'd be surprised if I was able to put anything else here.

Last show: Last one I actually sat down and watched start to end was Game of Thrones back when Season 8 aired. I prefer content on youtube nowadays.

Last thing you ate: Animal crackers. Though if you want the last substantial meal, I had porkchops and baked potatoes last night.

Favourite colour: Like Ki'to, I too love purple. Though alongside lavenders I love purples on the ultraviolet spectrum. Like this:

Current obsession: Ki'to. I just love him a whole bunch and can't help obsessing over headcanons and such.

Unrelated Obsession: Viera men (Totally unrelated. Absolutely. Totally wouldn't scoop up a bunny boy into the polycule as fast as lightning. Not at all.) I've been looking at too much fanart lately and now I just can't help myself.

Any pets: I have a sweet orange cat with negative braincells, but a really big heart. Here's some cat tax:

Do you have a crush on anyone: Irl? Nah, not at the moment. On here is a different story, y'all got some pretty boys on here. 👀

Favourite fictional character: Do D&D characters count? 'Cause I really really love Beau from Critical Role's second campaign. Her character growth was fascinating to watch each week, and I still go back to rewatch that campaign every so often because I loved it a whole lot. (Even though I still have to catch up on C3 so I can tune in again) Honestly, all of the characters were amazing in that campaign, and went through such a beautiful metamorphosis.

The last place you traveled: I haven't really traveled, honestly. The furthest from home I've been is Florida, a little over a decade ago now.

Tagging: I have no idea who hasn't been tagged yet, but if you need something fun for munday and haven't been tagged yet, then I tag you! <3

Anything not here that you wanna know about the man behind the catboy? Hop into my ask box and ask away!
