#clementia my beloved

[kharla-k]

Y'know in the early parts of PoL I was thinking 'Aegir really isn't so bad, outside of the whole 'seaborn' issue it seems pretty cool and idyllic, not arrogant' based off of the rationality, competence and mirth of Clementia. It came as something of a surprise, because outside of Rhodes Island nearly every polity has major flaws and drawbacks in living standards or morals. And then Horatia walked onto the scene and I watched as she practically declared war on the entire surface and said 'Oh. There it is.'

What's your favourite Roman deity? Mine as an aspiring agroforester is Ceres :D

Mine is Neptune! Basic, I know, but not only he's amazing and he's enemies with my most disliked goddess (Minerva), but the whole myth about him turning one of his lovers (Caeneus) from a woman into a man was my FAVOURITE myth even before I realised I was trans myself.

Neptune literally said trans rights and he's a real one for that

Rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Last Song: Lips by IVE - but I've been listening to Seventeen's new album + some random finds on my Spotify Discover Weekly :))

Last Show: I haven't watched a *show* in a hot minute... does it count if I watch random TV shows in thirty second increments on TikTok?????? Apologies for my silly goofy Gen Z behaviour but honestly, the last show I watched in full was Fruits Basket! Both the 2001 and 2019 version, both of which I enjoyed for different aspects - mainly nostalgia though! Tohru Honda my beloved...

Currently watching: The last thing I watched was The Truman Show (1998)! I first watched it in Year 9 for school but upon watching it again, I truly loved every second of it >< Obsessed with the aesthetics but also the plot, what it stands for, and the comedy laced through it all! Highly recomend if you haven't seen it yet!

Currently reading: I just finished reading Moshi Moshi by Banana Yoshimoto and am currently or about to read Kitchen by her as well. I've been on a Banana Yoshimoto binge after I read N.P. and fell in love with her writing style and the themes she explores especially love and grief. It's helped in dealing with my own loss as well as giving me new insight on the human condition and all that :')

Current obsession: Chilling out??? LOL - technically it's finals season but I get a mini break after the semester finished before my exam so I decided to do some ✨ rest and relaxation ✨ in between my study days - little things like vacuuming my room, organising my drawers and desk, and clearing my mind with reading has been super helpful after a truly heinous term :')

TRACES FOR YOUR HEART .

tokyo debunker ⎯ㅤ zenji kotodama .ᐟ

fluff but a little suggestive, based on zenji's birthday, subaru is just a baby, gender neutral, hotarubi spoilers

ZENJI held the brush reverently again.

he couldn't help it.

when that birthday present was more than pigments and bristles... when bright streaks of sunlight slipped through the windows of clementia's old dormitory, golden and slow, sinking into the ground the way he imagined in real forests. . . when the wet tip of ink waved, zenji studied every feature of your body, like a confectioner examines a cake before decorating it; patterned with dark colors and bright curves just the way you, his newest work of art, should be. . . then he hummed and glided, shodō over soft skin and crimson eyes glowing with the promise of art and affection. 

you knew that, for zenji, this was the opportunity to express what his fingertips – and the rest of his body – couldn't capture. you thought, face in the pillow and cheeks burning pink, at his happy expression, the inspired man of the feather blowing out candles with the help of haku; and you eagerly slide a gift box in front of zenji, from which subaru gently removes the purple ribbon and lid, waving to his dear friend with an emotion of unspoken words, but the wish of “happy birthday,” loaded in your gaze violet. . . but it's then that zenji squints his eyes, bright spots, hot drops in the corners and it's then that he thinks about crying when he finds your face again. “th-they're anomalous brushes. haku and subaru came up with the idea.” you explain, expounding the credit as if you could take the attention away from that phantom ghoul; balanced by tears and the urge to hug your two old friends and especially you!

zenji recognizes when you try to make sure he doesn’t fall on top of the three of you. zenji recognizes crossing the atoms of his body. zenji recognizes his own knees giving way to the floor. empty. “forgive me, friends. sometimes, i forget that i can go much further.” and it was worth it in the end: “thank you, my dear.”

sweet words and unwavering smile, your heart – which you didn't imagine beating – warms, stumbling faster knowing you did something for your special day. it was a magical day, zenji thinks, a perfect day that he would remember later when he sang whatever came to mind and seemed appropriate for the moment as the biwa, suitable ballads, snippets of his own invention, came to an end. sometimes, right before he claimed you as his muse, music played in his sleepy ears, entire orchestras and choirs sternly but joyfully proclaiming something unremembered. he tried to remember these songs and sing them too; but seeing how giddy you looked, bright and flushed from receiving devoted attention, makes zenji want to write a new chapter in your body. lips instead of bristles. saliva instead of ink. he's almost jealous of how his beloved honor student sighs, the material slides down his collarbone, arms, thighs. . . “you're adorable. so adorable.” — i love you.

and then there is nothing more to say to you than lines engraved on your body.

but if there were another life after this, zenji kotodama would hope to write with his lips on his skin what those brushes were privileged to have.

omg Frankie my beloved, I haven't thought about him for so long!!!

I didn't know he was actually made with me in mind, I don't think you told me that (or maybe I just forgot) But I'm very clearly oblivious, he just straight up looks like me (minus frog arm and clothes)

Now, I love Frankie, but I will always adore Clementia, she is the best (and only) shared oc that I have ever made. I actually and honestly think about her a lot. Wish that I could just pick both (well I guess I can, there are no rules)

Kai sounds awesome, would love to be friends with the information guy. And a mixture of Claude and Olruggion is a recipe for me liking them. (btw what is a polgylot)

give me BOTH a partner and a friend

If you want, if you only want to do one, then just partner

For partner, it has to be Frankie. Weird autistic frog guy that was handcrafted with you in mind

If you don't like Frankie then you can always have Clementina.

For friend, I'd say Kai. He's a 2000+ year old vampire polgylot that collects information for the fun of it. He's a lot like if you mixed Claude and Olruggio
