#childe: Lol loser ur not even that hot tbh.

[bitbrumal]

                                                                            QUESTION           @predvestnik​​​​​   ↤   accepting    ::   HE’S A 10, BUT...   ↩

‘ He isn't a ten. He's more like a bad, incomplete joke: seven, eight, nine. ’ Honestly, this was meant to target one Master Diluc, but can be about anyone—

DILUC  the rag in his fist creaks. red eyes drop to it with an incredulity that peers further inward: down into the tight, discomfiting squirm of his chest.       oh. i’m going to be sensitive about this. fantastic.  how mean. to be bullied like this, after a smooch? after allowing him to feel vulnerable & stupid & delicious—

it’s certainly impossible to guess what has his cheeks grow ruddy all over again:  the memory, or this shameless return to the norm.  perhaps it should be a blessing...

                            “ugh.”

 at least it asks for no delicacy in return. it wouldn’t be rude not to feel. no weeping maiden stands in line to curse his lineage for an affront she should have expected, angled for. ( no. no, that’s him right now, isn’t it? holy sh- )         don’t have to feel anything about this. ( right. because that was ever an option. )

[sapphosdickandballs]

heyyyy!!! i saw that you changed ur theme. just wanted to first of all say i loveeeee that shade of green omg. its so cool.

anyway also that ask you sent about reading kiss her once for me- ahhh. im stoked ur reading it!! ellie is such a loser and yeah. i need a jane su/jack (i forget her last name atm whoops) in my life. mostly jane aughhhh... sorry im noooot here to gush abt ols HOWEVER. i get it. 100%. idk i just like- loved them. they were cute and ughhh.

u got any updates w reading???

i just got done reading delilah green doesnt care and tbh. its not a rec from me. im gonna keep my thoughts to a minimum but it felt very bland and like a whole nothing burger with such a... paper thin character veil. i didnt care about the cast at all???? especially not the ship. i did like iris and astrid but damn it just was low key boring??? the sex scenes werent even hot 👎. like okay so not gonna rip on it TOO hard but it's got a cute cover but i didnt find it to be rec worthy nor is it even comparable to any of my other favs. it was mindless, but executed in a way that felt underwhelming. like a different book i read- mistakes were made. which is by an author you recommended a book from. thats a whole nother argument i had formed but that one wasn't good either 😭. sorry but that one suffered from the opposite problem of too much sex and the plot just WASNT compelling. also the characters were awful?? at least the daughter. i hate that she was written as some spoiled child when she was legitimatly a college student. anyway NOT recs. but im indeed interested in giving both of their other books a try??

anyway i really REALLY want to try this one eventually. it looks really good but my libby doesnt have ittttt :(

uhhh another thing is-

i ask of you now- to make a decision on which i start first since you recommended them both to me in that long ask. (thats mainly why im sending this lol i could go either way but would like ur silly input on to choose which path to take first.)

as for the ask you sent earlierrrrr- i might dm u later w a bunch of rambles bc im not gonna publicly ramble in case they ever find this acc but watch out!! i can yap. :3

anyway thats all!!

Oh that sucks about Delilah green doesn’t care. I think that was on my list but I hadn’t started it yet. But I trust your judgment so I’ll prolly take it off

By an author I recced or one of the books I recced? Just curiosu. If it’s an author I recced I’ll make a mental note not to read any more of them

I’ve read til the point they arrived at the mansion and she met boozy in kiss her once for me I’m easily distracted but I will read more soon! I have a bunch of stuff I have to do for uni so it might be a sec. But I will read more I do really like it

ughhhhh the falling in love montage is so. Aughhhh. I love that book. It sucks your library doesn’t have it I read it on Libby so that’s weird. I wish you luck in finding it tho it’s so good

Oh this is hard okay. So something to talk about is very angsty? Like I read it and was yelling at the characters the whole time to stop being stupid. But if you relate to feeling like a predatory lesbian (I do 🙌) then this book will hit. I ultimately really liked it and thought the angst and buildup was worth it

I also really like never ever getting back together it’s pretty fluffy and cute and makes fun of the bachelor type shows which I thoroughly enjoyed cause I watch those shows (guilty pleasure) and it’s dual perspective which I always be eating up. One of the main characters acts like an idiot for a while but then it gets really cute. And it’s not too sex heavy afaik. Neither is something to talk about except for the very ending

Both are good I can’t really recommend you one over the other, so I will just say are you in a more angsty mood or a more fluffy mood

That’s fine lmao that’s why I added the disclaimer of answer in an ask or a dm. I just hate saying you can dm me cause liek. The implications

What does the color blue taste like? blue gatorade

What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? Californian ancient redwood forest. Or Lake Tahoe in wintertime. Seeing trees so big and wide it’s like staring up at a skyscraper was overwhelming. Lake tahoe is just a beautiful area. Skiing there was one of the best places I’ve ever been. On the last day we were there it snowed over a foot of dry, soft snow. It’s hard to comprehend just how stiflingly silent it is during snowfall like that. It’s really beautiful.

What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? When I was in my senior year in High School I went to my first and only house party. Which was full of drunk, underrage kids in a house with 0 adults. ( and it was the 4th of july. ) The cops showed up and me and my friend I was there with were in the back of the house, so we bolted and didn’t get caught. When we looped around the house, we noticed another cop car with one cop up like fifteen feet away up the street. They hadn’t noticed us so, me and my drunk friend lit some of the fireworks we had and tossed em into the cop car right through the window. You can guess what happened after tho the cop didn’t catch me or my friend (we were both in high school track/long distance running team). Also, ACAB.

Stupidest thing you’ve seen/heard someone else do/say? My sister used to think Palm Trees were fake. Also she married a MAGA head. Both of those are pretty stupid.

Hyperfixation song? kamikaze and Truncheon by The Royal They

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? I really like Izutsumi from Dungeon Meshi. her design gives me gender envy and I relate deeply to working through the trauma of having a shitty situation growing up. and I think Alley Cat is a fun way to disguise my name while also having my name on full display

Dream career as a child? Something involving the physical sciences. Not kidding when I say I was doing science experiments for fun when I was 6.

Dream career as an adult? Something with computers. Or gaming critique. We’ll see how it goes.

Thoughts on cilantro? Spicy Lettuce

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? Yeah, when I was a senior I used to work at fast casual local place in my hometown. It was basically half a step nicer than mcd’s or any other fast food place but also only had 3 locations in this one town I lived. Anyway, we close at 9:30 on weeknights, and it’s finals weeks. Everyone who works there is a high school student (Because it was legal to pay us below min wage and the owner was a cheap fucking loser). General manager wants to stay open past closing to get a ‘big day of sales’. Currently, I was the only one there who knew how to work the kitchen so im making all the orders. When another order rolls in at 9:50 I tell him im not going to make anymore. Ppl have finals the next day and need to be in class at 7:30 am. He tells me to leave and never come back, even to buy food. Fuck that guy tho.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple pizza, apparently.

Trans rights? I support trans rights and trans wrongs fellow 196 refugees are welcome to jump in but im not tagging anyone

Pronouns and gender? he/they/it, transmasc

Sexuality? Lesbian

What is your Most forbidden snack? The preserved bones at the Atlanta Bodies Exhibition. They looked so crunchy...

Would you pet a bug? If it's big enough, it is pettable.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. I like to drive around rural areas and photograph old, sometimes abandoned locations in the dead of night. I have been literally chased out of towns by foot and by car on two separate occasions. The second time this happened, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus came up on shuffle and that's the soundtrack my friend and I tore out of town to. Also every "guy" I've dated except for my most recent ex (who has big egg energy) is a lesbian now.

What does the color blue taste like? Creme brulee

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The appalachian mountains of Tennessee in the middle of summer. There's kudzu everywhere. On the backroads, there were several old, dilapidated Baptist churches barely hanging to the side of the mountain. I wonder how many of them were still in use.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? My ex thought that Jackalopes were real. Also, a nurse I was doing rotations with apparently thought that "Witness Protection" was for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hyperfixation song? Young Enough + Bleach by Charly Bliss

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? Profile pic; I'm transmasc and I'm currently obsessed with TriStamp. Username; It was my fake internet name when I was like 13. I won't change it because I want my mutuals to recognize me, and because I do have a viral post associated with this name.

Dream career as a child? Doctor (funnily enough I'm now in nursing school)

Dream career as an adult? Professional Jester. Not a comedian. I just want to be some weird little guy who dresses silly and you can hire me to roast your boss at work parties.

Thoughts on cilantro? Delicious

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? I honestly can't remember? Probably... but in recent memory I've mainly banned people from places.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple on a hotdog with grilled onions. It Slaps.

[badanimereviews]

summer 2019 anime sum-up

lmao i realized i never did this and posted the fall season b4 this.... oops

kimetsu no yaiba: tbh started out kinda meh. and now it’s turned into one of the new big shounens. i was not expecting that. nearing the end got rly good and i was rly looking forward to more episodes! tanjiro gets cooler and cooler! animation is rly nice (thanks ufotable) and the way tanjiro’s water is animated. like. aesthetic asf. it’s so good. i love black-haired emo dude and zenitsu (my spirit animal) and ofc nezuko she is adorable im c r y. side note: the hashira? i think they’re called? some of the ugliest fkn characters i’ve seen in ages like flame boy? stone boy? i HATE them. and the gem dude too like man get a new tattoo artist on god.... he needs it.,,,,,,and inosuke is so pretty it’s unfair

dr stone: ok man dr stone rly went off. tbh. i’ve always been a whore for chemistry since reading the flavia de luce series (btw, i want more books of) and watching this just tickles my noodle brain in a good way... who needs prozac when i get a shitton of serotonin from watching senku dick around....  (btw what is going on with what’s his face and the girl. yuzuriha????? i can’t remember. i love senku don’t get me wrong but i need their perspective too... bc i hate lion dude... so much.... dick....) again i will repeat that i am a whore for chemistry so i get oFF on this. backgrounds are amazing/ animation so nice n clean (most o the time lmao). i thought i would hate the black n white haired trickster boi and ms yellow ponytail and suika but no! dr stone is such a good show that they are now great, loveable characters. also i am senku and chrome’s whore so jfc. man, i love the explanations of all the chemistry shabang, but some things i think would be better if explained! like senku doing physical labour at the beginning- ex. making all those pots and building that shit by hisself. i know he weak af. yes he smart but like. construction? difficult. pottery? even for me the artist . difficult. and that shed of his was filled to the brim. HOW. anyways, i love this so much i am crying constantly

just realized i didnt need to write about dr stone. oh well. 

danmachi 2: wtf yo. haruhime is so pretty but not a fan of her personality! bell still cute af and still don’t rly like aiz! animation good as always, and my god i shit myself whenever the argonaut theme starts up bc that is ? one of the best pieces of non-sawano hiroyuki pieces i’ve ever heard? addicted to it. and the opening! love the dynamics, the brief ‘rain’ scenes like when mikoto slashes the raindrops and just her motion basically? as an animator that is what i aspire to accomplish because i just love that. tiny little scene. 

arifureta: this would have been so much better had they dragged out mc’s op-ifying process! made him suffer more! i explained this briefly in my ‘first thoughts’ post for this season, but story-wise and pacing-wise his power-up could have been so much more deserved and gratifying. think shield hero- loser suffers, gets angry, slowly builds up power in an epic payoff! would have been so epic too. and also if they’d made his gained powers less.... crazy nerfed. again: HE SHOULD HAVE SUFFERED MORE AND THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER SHOW. harem thoughts: yue- meh. sucky char honestly. shea- my fav girl, she is a great character don’t judge- sexy and love her personality and love her character design and love how much fanservice she gets lol. panty flash ftw. dragon girl- discount darkness honestly , tho nice design. and mermaid girl- yuck, annoying,  DO NOT like the ‘papa’ trope! (ahem sao.) it’s gross. also just fuck mc’s classmates honestly- paladin dude sucks ass, healer girl OOF that last episode ruined her, samurai girl is ok i guess. hate ai-sensei too like shut UPP annoying ass HOEEEEE (postscript: opening=very epic too)

kanata no astra: plot twist? check. trillion well-done plot twists? check. this was done very well. i am so happy. all those plot twists and turns would usually suck in any regular anime- but this was written with GODLIKE ability. thank you, lerche. legit, this was such an enjoyable ride, i eagerly awaited each new ep! typically i hate space-related stuff but like! survival stuff gets my goat.... like this was good- (tho maybe more technical-stuff in the survival theme would make it so cooler) what shocked me the most: (spoilers alert) didn’t end up hating quitterie or funi. (tho the puppet made me want to strangle smth) luca’s gender had rly confused me but i’d decided on him being a boy- so basically that reveal left me like WHOA. i died. did luca rly have to show emo boy their tity tho... kanata losing his arm gave me the yeeeks, charce being the traitor was made sO WELL into a surprise even tho i’d kinda already suspected him<- like that was just fucking amazing writing there. gj. and ares the princess! ok man! shocked! AND also the whole clone thing, just fucked me right up. up the ass. like there are probably more plot twist layers in this than a fkn ogre has.... anyway shrek aside, yun?’s character arc was very pleasing, i think that was done very well! and the ending made me UwU like BRO? goals tbh. yeah this is a hidden gem and is just so good, so well-written overall. 

cop craft: didn’t have high expectations. i am now,,, quite,,, shocked &,,, blown away. sweetheart this is a good fucking show. so why @ livechart.me DOES IT HAVE 7.40 STARS WHEN FKN ARIFURETA HAS 7.72. can someone explain this to me? i’m outraged. LIVID.  matoba and tilarna were amazing characters btw! loved their dynamic! briefly i thought it might get romantic! nope, it didn’t, so it’s all good. actions scenes were epic, tilarna’s design and outfits were so much nicer than i thought they’d be like. she is so cute. and the op- man, if that is not such a bopper vibe then idk what is. i could watch it forever. it deserves so much more than what it’s got rn.

naka no hito genome: (serious question: is this considered some sort of isekai?) genome gave me btooom vibes honestly but like- this is SO much better than btooom and most game/trap/ kinda shows. fkn BOP of an op, especially the sequence at the end with short clips of each character in action (nutt). paka-san was a good boy and he deserves irl merch. i fell in LOve with all the characters (bubble boy= hot, akatsuki= ok meh actually kinda boring, karin= hot and i want her to punch me, ruromori= beautiful 12/10 would let her stalk me, sleepy eyes boy= baby + dazai vibes and hot af, twin boy= also hot, onigasaki= hot and love him so much, and loli girl= her light grenades got annoying but nice char design) anyways yeah more of this would be epic. i wanna see sakura and her twin reunite, and how they get out basically! also animation quality was very good which is surprising considering it’s a silver link anime.

kono yo no hate de koi wo utau shoujo yu-no: i include the whole title bc this is a good anime. (also livechart.me why 7.27 stars i will fuck you up) only meh part of this is the return to earth from dela granto bc that was like a culture shock and honestly at that point i’d forgotten a lot about what had happened on earth and didn’t care as much. btw, f ayumi and f the other brown-haired oneesan. mio and kanna ftw. obvs i didn’t understand the sayless x takuya thing like dumbass horny teenager . why u gotta creampie the worst girl. u have mio. bruh. (tho mio x ‘oyabi!’ boy is a great ship) also, takuya’s mom? keiko-san? idk if you’ve noticed but that’s literally my name so yeah just glad to finally have some keiko representation. altogether goodass anime. the time travel/ rezero esque reset thing almost got me but this was done well. so no problems. both ops very good. first song was bae, second also bae (just realized it’s by konomi suzuki, one of my waifu idols, so yea nice) and ed2 also so pretty! also yu-no’s design was rly pretty, the outfit colours, and her pigtails rly suited her :)

granbelm: sorry this is the last one lol this was a long ass post! other than the fact i dont rly like mecha this was good.... action, CHARACTER designs aesthetic asf, honestly rly pretty ok. i liked the cast, very diverse and more depth than most shows of this ilk. op was nicely choreographed- especially the part where the girls’ faces are contorted by their gems, showing their magical girl side. nicely done. mangetsu didn’t end up being that bad a char, and honestly? suigetsu is best girl and deserved better. and the ending too- like, bro, that made me kinda sad. some off points: anna’s mom was a little unrealistic as a mom like woman- please learn to control your child, and, white-haired girl’s sister should have played a bigger part, based on how her parts in the opening were emphasized! (quick note- blue girl, love her, great bad guy, when she dumped anna made me so happy honestly, she is beautiful, and i couldn’t actually decide who i wanted to win between her and suigetsu....)

hope u enjoyed this bad review. pls share ur opinions w/ me on some of of these more controversial shows. thank. 

[halvatir]

ahhh sorry anon my sis deleted the original post by mistake??? thank gOD i had a backup on my drafts ;w;

it’s not silly at all, lol (°∀°)b don’t worry about it!

what it works like will definitely depend on what characterizations you have for both, but since you asked me, i’ll do a couple for you:

kRO / jRO-based (from nightmare mode profiles) they say that the jRO characterizations are based off the official kRO ones??? idk

we have: responsible A+ leader & desensitizing logic lady

more like struggling with desensitization, kathryne’s struggling with keeping a poker face + emotions in check and admittedly she isn’t doing a good job of it

she and seyren get along okay: he goes to her for advice in case margaretha’s not available, she relies on him a lot when things get tough bc adventurers man

sometimes when seyren goes to kathryne for advice things get a reversal: sometimes it’s him giving advice to her bc poor girl tries so hard to be so above it all when she’s honestly breaking inside and it doesn’t make her feel any better that she’s venting it out to someone it just makes her all the more frustrated at herself

no, it doesn’t help that the first time kathryne vented everything out to was to seyren bc he was somehow the person she was trying to be: composed and never failing

seyren honestly doesn’t understand kathryne’s frustrations completely, but he tells her truthfully that he doesn’t have the slightest clue on why she would try so hard to keep herself invulnerable - she may think differently, but to seyren emotions are not a sign of weakness but strength, no matter how ugly or beautiful a person driven by its influence would turn out

kathryne tells him it’s not that easy for her but seyren says that he + bio 3′s there for her and whatever she may be going through, he would be always a listening ear

he may not understand her completely, but it’s better than just bottling herself up - he even goes as far to say that perhaps the reason why kathryne struggles with her emotions is because she never bothered expressing them completely + she’s kept them away for so long that she never understood why she felt those emotions in the first place

she gets terribly salty at seyren for days but actually that proves seyren right, at first kathyrne’s so annoyed that he has the gall to say all that to her + acting so high and mighty like he understands her but over time she realizes that she’s being petty and well hot damn, does she feel sheepish about that

that argument resolved and put aside aside seyren takes this as a good opportunity to get to know her better, he was a bit unsure on how to approach her at first but now he sees that at least, kathryne wasn’t as desensitized as she would appear

seyren makes it a point to ask how she’s doing at least once a week and kathryne’s a bit miffed bc she feels like a child but honestly she does feel a little better when they have their talks

the ‘composed + never failing��� image that kathryne has of seyren eventually breaks, bc she realizes that during their talks, seyren is also overcome with emotions at times but he handles it differently, at least way differently from how she’d handle hers

they enjoy each other’s company at regular intervals and while they would usually talk about serious stuff they also enjoy playing a fair amount of board games

kathryne has a lead by a slight margin

the most cryptic words seyren ever said to her remain to puzzle her tho

an invulnerable human is already a vulnerability to itself.

fanart pt 1.

let’s face it folks, there’s not that much different interpretations of seyren outside of ‘prontera chivalry’s #1 most responsible + virtuous knight’ although there are variations the basis is still that lol

okay that aside we have: responsible A+ leader & token mini moe

uhh now how the fuck would this work

kathryne for someone actually strong + smart as balls is rather… uh… childish…

is that regression? eremes swears it is.

… u know what, this is hard let me think about it i don’t think my brain can properly register kathryne as a full-blown cheerful character

but hey at least u have a characterization now *spongebob voice* imagine

fanart pt 2.

remember what i said about the lack of different seyren interpretations well sputnik views him differently nice they also view howard differently and i love it so much i adapted it ahhh

so we have: genki lord knight + mellow high wizard

uhhh no probably not that genki more like upbeat??? idk just not super genki, just imagine seyren with a sense of humor + notably lighter disposition

they’re like… odd??? we have seyren here who does most of the talking and kathryne who’s just like… there. it looks like she’s just nodding repeatedly but she’s actually listening to every word he says

best thing of the day for seyren is if he actually gets kathryne to crack a smile like OHHHH ITS SMALL BUT HEY HEY LOOK I MADE HER SMILE/LAUGH COME ON U GUYS LOOK HERE SHE LOOKS NICE WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AND I DIDN’T GIVE HER A SLICE OF CAKE TO MAKE HER SMILE TAKE THAT LOSERS PAY UP

kathryne finds seyren funny and is actually wondering how talkative a human person can be as seyren talks to her - she finds him to be very passionate and encouraging even about the smallest and most ridiculous things, such as wondering about what if anopheles were actually shed off parts of metalings that come to life as angry buzzing motherfuckers

… say wut

seyren has no actual reason for talking to kathryne so often, he actually does that to everyone but he’d be lying if he wouldn’t say that one if his goals is to see kathryne smile more often

and u know, maybe make her talk too

on the rare times that seyren’s down, kathryne’s always the first one to approach him and holy shit she’s! talking! to! him!

she talks rather languidly but she’s kind when she speaks, and it’s visible in her face that she’s genuinely concerned about seyren - what does she do to cheer him up?

she brings up the topics that he was talking to her about

like

the most recent of them

yes she actually talks about the anopheles-as-metaling-sheddings theory

she gives him her opinion and seyren can barely register it bc he’s so touched??? like, when they engage in the one-sided talks he actually knows she’s listening but… wow??? she really listens up to the smallest detail???

he totally forgot that he brought up a what if the bio 2 was their future children theory lol wat are u thinking seyren kathryne reminds him

that really cheers up seyren a lot tbh and so talking about weird stuff to her is like a daily thing for him his topics get even weirder but kathryne still listens to him diligently

‘kathryne?’

‘…mm?’

‘thanks a lot.’

‘… no, thank you, seyren.’

she gives the nicest smile he’s ever seen on her face and seyren sees cloud 9 adios amigo odin have mercy on ur soul man

fanart pt 3.

the biolabs have tons of fanart + artists + interpretations okay

we have: drill sergeant nasty + genki high wizard

… genki kathryne holy shit let me lie down for a while i need to think

drill sergeant aka ‘lord knight seyren windsor has a stick up his ass and no fun is allowed 5ever’

… i still have no idea on how a genki kathryne would work but i’ll lean more on a genki = eccentric personality, something more of a closet troll / tease

‘keyron.’

‘yes, sir windsor?’

‘that smirk on your face is appalling. and if you are to address someone with a title, you are better off not doing so if you show not a single shred of respect.’

whoa take a chill pill man

‘oh, would you prefer a different demonstration of my respect for you, then? something physical? actions speak louder than words, don’t they?’

wELL that escalated quickly okay now this angle seems interesting

seyren despises her nature but admits her to be very respectable in battle, he laments that she would be very much tolerable if she were to act in accordance to her skill

kathryne generally doesn’t really care about what seyren thinks of her - wait, she doesn’t really find seyren interesting in particular tho

she just likes getting a rise out of people + seeing reactions is all, it’s like some game - cue joker-ish vibes

seyren totally gets it after watching her interact with the others and he’s like ‘i will not succumb to playing her silly games to appease her fancy’

but think: what if one day he actually does

oH

rly???

what if she subtly flirts with him for the lulz and he actually replies

not in his usual drill sergeant manner

not in a ‘okay fine whatevs lets play along’ manner

not in the obvious disinterest manner

it’s like his reply gives her the vibes of ‘i dare you to answer back, which, you probably can’t’

now suddenly kathryne finds him interesting

game’s on

oh wow i like this angle

other variations (which were at the top of my head sorry i can’t write them all lol)

stoic knight + stoic lady

drill sergeant nasty + shrinking violet

ax crazy + mellow wizard

responsible A+ leader + ax crazy

team dad +  desensitizing logic lady

knight in struggling chivalry + machiavellian lady

how i see it

we have: knight in struggling chivalry + pensive lady

they’re like equals n’ everything, they respect each other a lot and they see each other as reliable pillars of support

kathryne’s little on the words but that doesn’t bother seyren much - but when they actually do get to talking he really appreciates kathryne’s honesty and is very interested on how she sees things - bc face it man, logic is sometimes so illogical but she makes things so… logically simple.

how the hell does that work idk either

he’s not an idiot really but he just sometimes asks kathryne about random complicated stuff - he even asks her about how she’s able to conjure her spells once, and he listens to kathryne on the whole thing

she’s very impressed on how… logical seyren’s questions are (she’s not insulting seyren’s knowledge rly it’s just kathryne’s just… really well-read), especially concerning magic. even she has to ponder about some of his questions a bit, that’s why she finds talking to seyren a challenge. he sees things clearly for what they are without personal bias + judgement, which is like hard when magic’s the case

and even harder, supposedly, for someone like him who’s in the chivalry whose hearts are sworn to God / Odin

the q&a stuff’s bound to give someone a nosebleed but they’re really reasonable when they talk: they make sure to listen thoroughly before putting in their opinions and queries, like a really polite debate

when they do get to talking about sensitive stuff aka morals + faith + all that seyren’s built on, she can obviously see him struggling with himself and he even declares with a wry smile that he’s a hypocrite

what he does everyday to adventurers + corpses + his sword + his armor are a living testament of his failure + blasphemous actions - he even admits to kathryne that looking at them - she, margaretha, cecil, howard, eremes - furthermore twists the knife in his stomach

the guilt’s like the stench of blood he’s never going to get rid of from his hands + armor + pretty much his whole self

the nightmares are as often as the times he has to draw his sword in a day + as loud and piercing like the screams of the nth adventurer he’s slayed in the day

he’s a damned failure and he brought all of them down with him

it gets worse when he meets bio 4 bc they were sent shortly after seyren’s party went missing

it’s like to him, as a knight, a torture that is a hundred times worse than than death itself, what is the use of a knight who is unable to protect

listening to him talk that way’s really painful to hear, but what hurts kathryne the most is that she’s unable to properly console him

like

he’s right there

and for the life of her she can’t say anything

especially when he goes on about the part where he says that seeing his floormates is torture bc… seyren saw them that way…??? like… damn?

but honestly she knows that she can’t not bc she isn’t unable to understand / empathize, but bc she knows she will never know how much his faith + God + chivalry has influenced his growth and built him to be the man that he was before he became a rekenber victim

those three are probably the foundation of his very being and kathryne knows that she can’t have a full understanding of that bc her life didn’t revolve around those in the first place

their lives + principles are very different

but as much as they are different, that doesn’t mean she has to be indifferent to his struggles

she honestly admits all that to seyren, and the conclusion is that she may only know but never understand what he’s going through

but she will try the best as she can to offer the support she can provide, no matter how small it is, no matter if it helps or not

‘think of it as you will. you say it is the will and punishment of God… but somehow, take a little comfort in the fact that we are still here to support you - perhaps God has sought to give you a small blessing; a small sliver of hope… in His own way, no matter how cruel it may seem.’

‘after all… God works in mysterious ways, does He not?’

damn
