Happy May the Fourth, friends and enemies!! In honor of it, I'm updating this story for the first time in a while! (and Force knows when I'll post it again. At some point, probably) I miiiiiiiiiiiight post something else today, we'll see how the day goes! First lines under the cut!
Taglist: @accidental-spice @seleneisrising @cassie-fanfics @jedi-nurse @selfish-giant @tarisilmarwen (DM me or comment if you want to be added or removed from the list!)
It wasn’t the first time she’d snuck out of the compound— Sabine had always been a free spirit. But the other times had been different. The other times, it had been for fun. This time it was because she was finally realizing just how stuck she and her family were. The Empire controlled their every move. One slip up, and they’d come down on Krownest like a hammer. So all she could do was play their game, and stay under the radar.
She hated it. Sabine hated being told what to do on the best of times, and this… this was so much worse.
So she’d found some old clothing to hide her armor under, and she’d snuck out of the compound. Alkhu wasn’t as far as she wanted to run— ideally, she’d find a ship and get off of Krownest no matter what it took— but it was a decent start.
Strolling through the marketplace, Sabine had taken in the sights with wide eyes— for a little while. Eventually, she started to see more than just the booths of bright fabric and gleaming wares. She saw the uneasy glances the merchants sent towards the Imperial commandos passing by, and the kids in dirty, torn clothing that clearly had no real home. Most of them were younger than her.
As she watched, one of them edged closer to a stall full of jogans, and the merchant sent the girl a glare. “Watch it,” he growled. “Touch any of my wares, and you’ll lose the hand. Don’t you know the Imperial punishment for stealing?”
The girl yanked back her hand, eyes wide, and Sabine felt a flare of anger in her chest. She was so sick and tired of the Empire dictating their every move.
So she marched forward and grabbed a few of the jogans. “You hungry?” she asked the girl, who hesitated before nodding. “Take these.”
Accepting the jogans, the girl gave Sabine a tiny smile before bolting down the street, and Sabine felt the anger in her chest ease into satisfaction. She’d helped someone. In spite of the Empire.
“Hey! Thief!”
A rough hand grabbed her arm, and Sabine whirled around, trying to yank free. But the merchant didn’t let go as he said, “You just stole from me!”
“I helped that kid, is what I did,” Sabine snapped. “Which is more than you can say, apparently.”
“Well, then you’ll be the one to bear the consequences,” the merchant growled. “Won’t be able to steal much with one hand, will you?”
Fury building up inside, Sabine glared at him. “Do you have any idea—”
“Hey, take it easy, Karl.”
A boy’s voice cut through Sabine’s response, and both she and the merchant looked to see a boy wearing all orange. His hair was black-blue, his eyes blue, and his grin was easy as he said, “She’s a friend.”

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.
#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego#being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side#which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny#natsume's book of friends#natsume yuujinchou#natori shuuichi#natsuyuu meta#my posts#f#i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively#both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them)#and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him#so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it?#and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect#so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together#and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other#okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable#and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did#because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori#the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol#1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense#or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this!#all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi#i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol#he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions#that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

I was soooooo good and did all the cleaning I set out to do today And a little more. And I have pasta.
I'm exhausted. And miserable. But I'll be happier after I eat. And I will be Very happy to have all this done.
That was my driving force... thinking about how happy I'd be having it done... it got me through...

Warrior Cats meet up was a success we simply devoured that trivia (we need not steal from children there were plenty of goodies to go around).
Felt real good about myself um-actually’ing the trivia questions because Barnes & Noble corporate does not know their stuff.

close encounters of the third kind is an objectively good movie, but it feels sorta tragic. and i doubt thet was the intention lol. love the cinematography, love the music score, love the visual effects. that's all fun and good. but where everyone else seems to see a movie full of "wonder", it just makes me feel sad. the movie ends the way it does and it leaves me feeling bummed the fuck out.
#i'm literally eric stoltz in his version of back to the future thinking marty coming home to a changed 'better' family is Tragic and Bleak#it's why flight of the navigator was a cute movie to be as a kid. but the non-goofy parts legit freaked me out lol#like what do you Mean no time passed and now this kid's younger brother is older than him? he missed on years and it's funny but it's Sad#but at least that all works out#close encounters has the 40s pilots and an assortment of other people (young and old) from various time periods walking off that ship#what happens when they try to go home? will their families be there? will they be decades older? will they be dead?#barry's only been gone for a few days and Seems fine and his mom pretty much got him right back so they're good#but there was at least another kid walking off that ship. what about her parents? how long was she gone?? man...#like yeah the dad fucks off to space and leaves his wife and kids behind. even spielberg says he doesnt like that ending anymore#bc odds are- that guy's family is Never gonna see him again. and they'll never know what happened. they'll never be Told what happened#'dad went crazy and went missing' and that's it. that would fuck with you#this movie's like 'yeah aliens! yeah ufos! yeah the unknown! yeah science! yeah mystery! yeah the power of music'#but the people caught in the middle of all this 'wonder' w/out Seeing that 'wonder' for themselves? this would suck. it's bleak.#such a killjoy take on a classic scifi movie but i forgot how much this movie just gives me a sense of dread#it's not how the audience is meant to feel anyway!#close encounters of the third kind#rambles

fun fact, if you live with someone and they die, even if your spouse is their legal, blood daughter, the probate court might still make you sell the house even if you have nowhere else to go and can't afford rent and you're already dealing with a mess of your own medical issues and resulting debt(which is an entirely different stresser we've been dealing with over the last year), just to cover their debts!
fun fact 2, I still have a bankruptcy on my credit report so guess how hard it's going to be to get a mortgage, which would be a lot cheaper then rent!

Scheming…
Tumblr media
#chattin#taking time to draw and write out a relationship/dynamics chart for the thieves and assorted friends#bc theres. alot. and it would be nice to write it out. it would help establish my thoughts about them#its not poly/thieves but its. kind of adjacent to it. but its less shippy and more focused on how they interact-#-and behave with one another. like theyre kinda bonded together over everything. lines get a little blurred but its what works for them#and i think lumping them all together as poly/thieves is a shortcut for breaking down their character#like obv akira has diff relationships for everyone; but how do THOSE people react to others ??#like pego/ryu is real and true but also ann is absolutely there. u cannot separate them.#theyre the shujin delinquents to me LOL. they are too tightly bound together to let any external relationship split them at this point#akiras not w goro; its akira AND ryuji w goro. like akira and goro would just not work; but ryuji make its work well yknow?#goro doesnt get third wheeled w ann and vice versa bc ann and goro are good friends; they just hang :)#its like. if u could SEE the fucking string of connections making a mess of my white board in my minds eye…😭#so im trying to write it down into something that works for me#i dunno. i think its fun :) i did this for ffxv too#only that was way easier bc its just the four of them. but like. how do their internal relationships affect the overall polycule ?#anyway. inspired by that love post; that theres diff kinds of love. and kiss ryuji week LOL#bc i wanted to write a small thing with different thieves for each prompt#and im like how would their relationships differ from one another ?#ryuji and akira but also ryuji with makoto. ryuji w haru. ryuji w yusuke. its like.#u cant use the same thing from most pego/ryu fics bc they DIDNT meet the same way#waugh.#rambling#just know that im insane. i have all these wips and nothing FINISHED. waaa.#this is what that post meant about being obsessed over bad media LMAO. this is just what happens#u stay up thinking about fake polycules from a game that came out seven years ago#i think….#WHAT. 2016???#EIGHT years ???#funny bc i was thinking about how ffxv was eight yesrs old and i am still a mess over it#well. could u imagine if i played p5 when it LAUNCHED instead of in 2020???
