the infamous 'last sighting of a barbary lion in the wild' photo taken by marcelin flandrin (1925) haunts me to my core. there's something so achingly poetic about it.

Outfit breakdowns for all of my Kirby hero of yore ocs! I don’t know if I can count Galacta (or Papi) as ocs but my interpretations are rather far from the source material at this point ^^;

First is Galacta, the Hero of Heart, who is the hero among heroes of the four of them. The most honored, the most gallant, the light and hope of Halcandra.

Second is Nebula, the Hero of Dream, who is a laid-back, mostly relaxed figure who is calm and kind. Though they can often be found napping in various locations around town, in battle, they are a fierce warrior, and are very protective of Galacta.

Third is Papilio, the Hero of Soul, also known to many as Lio, or by their personal name, Anax. They are the smallest and the youngest of the heroes, a prodigy with the blade, and known as the fastest and most light-footed of the heroes.

And finally, the Hero of Dark, whose true name is only known to their friends. They are the quietest of the heroes, and wield a spear, though most of their powers are long range magic.

Avery Morgan - Thoughts on relationships

[florsial]

The Soldier and the Violinist: Overall 

Regulus is 6 and Rabastan is 16. Regulus is a child who is still very curious and pampered while Rabastan is an angsty teenager with his personality all over the place and a poorly built knight complex. There is definitely an immediate interest since I think Rabastan resembled what Regulus saw in Sirius. A fire under the skin and restlessness behind the eyes. While Rabastan sees Regulus as the youngest Black, and desires to save him from the madness of the Black Family. So he hangs around Regulus. But while Regulus likes him quite a bit, his loyalty to his family is more important.

It definitely develops and they become sort of friends. I think when Rabastan starts liking Regulus more, it’s more advantageous, and grows more and more personal. Regulus views him as savior, a Shepard, a guide, because Rabastan is this older figure telling him things and giving gifts and love, compliments and does whatever Regulus wants him to. A puppy crush definitely spouts. 

But it’s important to remember that Walburga and Sirius are both extremely possessive over Regulus. So while he had Rabastan, the hold of Sirius and Walburga is definitely stronger.

As Regulus grows older, a spoiled teenager who never got over the puppy crush, not that Rabastan bothered to. He liked the sole attention Regulus gave him. They became closer. Rabastan becomes more handsy and closer towards Regulus, who fully enjoys the attention and allows him.

When the War starts, they are still ever much closer.

Dynamic:

Basically, they mimic/mock the traditional nuclear family. Provider/the provided. But it doesn’t work because they don't understand the family part. Love makes it a family but Reg and Rab are both selfish and possessive individuals over each other, to an extent, they view each other a part of THEIR respective life, dehumanizing part of each other for their own benefit. There is fondness, but love is something different for them.

Regulus is naive and can be easily influence and Rabastan does take advantage of that when he can. But also he’s completely weak in the sense that he will do anything to keep Regulus by his side. Regulus is naive and gullible sometimes more often than not, spoiled. Rabastan can’t view Regulus as mature as he is because he’s clinging onto the childish crush to keep Regulus close, the childish crush that kept Regulus to him through naivety. <-- it's creepy ik, please understand that just because there seem to be "justifications" (Rabastan doing whatever Regulus wants), it doesn't mean much.

I love the fact that they act out such a traditional role while fully aware of the power each other hold over the other. Rabastan knows Regulus has emotional control over him and it’s the one thing he isn’t a big fan of. He knows he’s at the mercy of the younger. And I definitely think Regulus extends it in small ways when he really wants to even if he doesn’t realize it.

OUTSIDE POV:

Their love story is very normal. But only on the basic surface. They both cater (soldier that fights for and a violinist that performs) to the another (us, their society).

The biggest thing with shipping them is remembering the age/maturity imbalance. Rabastan groomed a child and Regulus didn’t have anyone telling him otherwise. They are discomforting because the outsider is picking at what is wrong but no one says anything.

They are actively trying to contort themselves into something they are not and it’s a creepy sight. Seeing their height difference, the roundness of Regulus face, the aged, tired look in Rabastan’s eyes. All while they act like a married couple.

Minor Stuff: I think the importance of their age difference should be highlighted differently compared to other things. They knew each other when Regulus was basically a baby. Their relationship is more horror than anything.

fun fact the word "dirk" sounds exactly like the root of the croatian verb "drkati" which means to jack off

May 1: Create

50 words written for the @drarrymicrofic prompt “create” for May 1.

Harry couldn’t have imagined this. Couldn’t have dreamt of what it would be like to build a life, to make a home. Together.

The counter was scratched, their furniture didn’t match, the upstairs neighbors stomped.

But he didn’t want more. Just this. The chance to create a home with Draco.
