Jaheira offering to watch Durge while they sleep legit caught me so off guard the first time I got there and made me so emotional that it completely changed the way I was playing my Durge for the rest of the game and I’m still emotional about it

kinda thinking about how the women who serve as maternal figures/raise kids in yyh are never quite ready for it. genkai's an arguable exception, but like.. atsuko had yusuke at 15, shizuru's basically in charge of kazuma full time in her early 20s/late teens (depending on version) with very very absent parents, and even shiori is given a kid she wasn't expecting, in the form of an old, old demon rather than like. a regular, blank slate ass human baby. and although shiori seems to do quite well with kurama, kurama can never be honest with shiori about who he is, or much of what he's seen. if he was, it'd probably make things far more complicated and overwhelming. atsuko, no matter how much she cares for yusuke, Could Not Have Been and thus wasn't ready to have him at 15. her attempts to make the most of that situation have had middling success at best. shizuru has also been placed into a parental role. we don't really know how long she's been raising kuwabara, but that's.. probably still parentification anyway. she shouldn't have to do that, and she shouldn't have to do that so young. and i think some of her coarseness with kuwa is out of frustration with her own inexperience + inadequacy + uncertainty, his not cooperating, and their parents for putting this on her in the first place. the ones who know the full extent of their situation grow desperate and it squeaks out in unpleasant ways, and the one who seems unbothered by it is the only one who has no idea that she's in way over her head. and i mean. ok. gonna preface this by saying keiko is NOT yusuke's mom in any sense of the word. but she does take care of him in a way atsuko couldn't manage to. she's often looking after him and cleaning up after his messes and stuff. she takes him on as a responsibility, and that is, in a way, a caretaker role. not to say that it SHOULD be her responsibility, but it's how she ends up being.

and when the stress of trying to make someone take care of themselves or be kind or good or Whatever goes awry, again, the violence and arguing and distance and ugliness of caring for someone reveals itself.

and i wonder about that. for a series dedicated to physical fighting as a form of communication, what does it say that this extends to the complicated, quietly desperate situations of so many of the women/girls it depicts, whom our more central characters were shaped and raised by?

hell, even hiei touches on this, because hina loved hiei, but there was no way she was prepared for him, obviously, nor for the pain of losing him. rui (whom i also see as a sort of caretaker figure to hiei, inasmuch as either of them were caretakers) literally throws him off a cliff because she couldn't face down the village elders, and out of some mixture of care for hina and, likely, fear for her own survival. and the guilt and pain of that killed hina and deeply wounded rui.

it's like motherhood, this thing that's so often treated as sacred and beautiful, is a kind of stitched up, painful, eggshell-walking thing that hurts parent and child and it's just. oughh

OC-Tober Day 3: Old Character

Elisa is one of my oldest characters, I made her sometime in 2012/2013 and she’s gone through quite a few changes since then (mostly she’s become much gayer, much like me)

i feel like it’s really easy for people to get the impression with my fua stuff that lancaster is my Favorite Character™️ and i do certainly love and think about him a lot and find him the easiest to make stuff for that Appeals To Me because LOOK AT HIM, but the character who is my genuine favorite that i find a lot of comfort in and adore so much that it loops back around to being unable to articulate anything about them is actually love. I cannot express how much i love her.

{ If you travel deep enough into the Forest of Secrets, you may learn where it gets its name.

Deep at its center lays a grove, a pocket of trees guarded by a flock of crows; crows that seem too wise, too cunning, too knowing to be ordinary birds. And odder still, you may find a boy, in weathered leather and a cloak of crow feathers, looking at home in the tree he rests in, a tree shaped as if it were made to cradle him — as if the boy himself was a secret made for her to keep. The shadows here do not follow the light, but seem to listen to the child, and the crows treat him like their own. But for all your fascination, some magical force prevents you from getting any closer. And if you manage to find your way back out of the forest, you will find that for as sharp as the memory rests in your mind, something prevents you from sharing what you saw with anyone else. The story sits at the tip of your tongue, where it will remain unspoken. And you understand now why they call it the Forest of Secrets, for now you have one of your own — of the boy protected by Shadow Secret and Crow. }

Jean-Paul Darkfeather!!!! *guitar riff* my most beloved oc who i can and have talked about for hours but have barely shared on the interwebs <3 feels vulnerable when the character and story is a piece of your soul!
