ocs as patron saints

i was tagged by @katsigian and @ecofear to take this quiz for some of my ocs, thank you both so much!!! loved doing this sm, two things i love obsessing over: saints and ocs <3

patron saint of relics. patron saint of remembering. patron saint of holding something close. patron saint of holding on for too long. for a saint, a relic is often a part of the body, kept for some physical memento of their holiness. they are all in your hands, now: does it feel like remembrance? does it feel sanctified? are the dust and blood as precious as they're supposed to be?

patron saint of bones. patron saint of frameworks. of structures. of solidity. patron saint of things that break. patron saint of things that are left behind. the bones survive long after the body, the building: what is there left for them, when the rest has gone? what do bones do, with nothing to hold around them? who holds the bones?

patron saint of heartbreak. not of comfort. not of condolences. there is a heart and there is a fissure, a fracture, something that starts to splinter and break open. you're the patron saint of the way a heart is rent open. the way it tears itself apart. patron saint of the rift. patron saint of the gash. when they say to "open your heart" to somebody, you are the patron saint of bleeding out.

Gente, me llamaron loca, pero con @raiberryz concluimos que en esta escena Axel no tiene 22 años, si es que parece un crío. Posiblemente sea el mismo caso que Vlad (parecer adolescentes teniendo 18), pues hasta 2022 la mayoría de edad en Japón era a los 20. En resumen: es muy probable que Axel se uniese al Sector Quinto siendo menor de edad o nada más cumplir los 20 años.

Eng: People, they called me crazy, but along @raiberryz we concluded that in this scene Gouenji doesn’t have 22 years, he still looks like a kid. Probably same case as Yuuichi (look like teens but they are in their 18’s) and this is because until 2022 legal adulthood in Japan was when someone turned 20 years old. Summarizing: its very likely that Gouenji joined Fifth Sector while still being legally a minor or as soon as he reached his 20’s

They can be so similar in their thinking. They are great friends, you honor, and sometimes they can share the same braincells

“the way they acted around him in third year is the biggest eg of this for me. so yeah, i think that plays in here a bit too” <- do you have any meta regarding this? like, im curious about what specific examples stood out to you the most, but i also just really like reading your meta lol

ooh hello anon!! (also,,,this is the literal first time anyone has called my ramblings a meta i am squealing rn)

but okay, bear with me, because i’ve not….really thought this through haha (+ it’s been an Age since i’ve read the books so source material knowledge is spotty)

it’s just, the entire PoA arc made me so uncomfortable on behalf of harry because no one ever told him anything? like, yes, that is the theme of his life and ootp is another example of how shitty it was for him and how devastating the consequences were but on like. a personal level. picture this, right?

you’re trying to escape ur abusive hellhole by going to the only escape available to u (which is, not so coincidentally, also a murderous cesspit but alas) but surprise! there is a magical mass murderer on the loose. cool, okay, that’s everyone else’s problem, ur literally just trying to have a normal year, maybe learn some magic, fly some brooms, play quidditch, and try to make it to hogsmeade (another big fail bc boo orphans amirite?). but nope, everyone and their grandma keeps trying to lock you up and warning u to stay away from this serial killer because….? clearly the reasons aren’t important but harry has to stay inside, shit his gob, and not do anything. the definition of ‘shut up, sit there, and look pretty’

literally the only person to make an effort is mr weasley and even he has to do it in secret lest he get reprimanded for…telling a kid to take care of themselves? i don’t think i’ll ever understand why so many adults in the WW think basic info is so dangerous but ok. right, so, on top of all this not telling harry, he’s also being treated like some reckless, adrenaline junkie ass fool?? like people are out here ominously going ‘promise you won’t go after sirius black’ while our boy is just confused like?? WHY??? he literally does not know anything and honestly, if everyone hadn’t stoked the fans so much, he probably wouldn’t have either.

this is partly why i think they just looked at him like a symbol or something, not an actual person, because if they genuinely cared about his safety, they would try harder right? but it seems to me like they just didn’t want the boy who lived to be hurt, or for voldy’s right hand man to come back and finish the job. terrible for public safety & spirit, that.

and then, the cherry on top of this shitcake is just. remus mf lupin. that man in poa was in fine form (beat only by his incredible cameo in dh during the trio’s hunt). with audacity lining his entire form, he not only manages to keep everything a secret from harry (including his parents, sirius’ animagus form, and their relationship), he also somehow scrounges up the gall to shame harry?? and for what, trying to do something everyone else is, that he’s been denied for no discernible reason (he doesn’t know why sirius is a threat, all he would see at that point was his head of house reinforcing the dursleys)? and not only does he do this in an extremely personal way (and not as a professor calling him to task for breaking rules) but he also tells him he’s disgracing his parents SACRIFICE???? the first time he brings up harry’s parents with him and it’s to tell him, famously an orphan, that they’d be ASHAMED OF HIM??? lord on earth. i would throw hands.

so *clears throat* ignoring how i went off the rails for a second there, that’s largely it. all the professors acting like he should take informed decisions with the maturity of an adult when they haven’t told him anything, while at the same time treating him with this weird dichotomy of too familiar and like a stranger? which i think harry gets a lot from everyone around him. they act like they’re close to him but they don’t actually treat him like that. it’s extremely on the surface. i feel like this also reinforces snape’s idea that harry gets special treatment, is seen as a celebrity etc etc. because on the face of it, yeah, they’re all centering him, but they’re not doing it in any meaningful capacity ykno?

sure, harry should be safe but why? what makes him any different from the others? and really, if they actually cared about his safety, why is he in danger every couple minutes? where are the adults then? i don’t think harry is ever seen in the entire series, not by anyone but sirius, which really just makes him that much more important in the grand scheme of things (and harry’s life)

It surprises me that people are still saying "my opinion is that the pale king loved his children and regretted what he did" because surely that's the entire point! THAT'S the idea instilled! The final secret of the king is hidden after the path of pain, the most difficult to access place in the palace, because it is the single most important and most shameful to him! And that secret final memory is epitomised with a glance between the father and child; it's the love of one's offspring, it's expectation, it's the desire to do what the father wishes - it's a connection! And it is this, in the eyes of the king, that tarnished the vessel, and sealed hallownest's fate. It is considered a memory of such deep, harrowing shame because it was the king's own connection with his child that ensured it was not a pure vessel, and thus would always fail to contain the radiance, and thus it is entirely on the king's head that hallownest fell to ruin.

I also sometimes see 'so why did the pale king die' when I think thematically, it does not matter what specifically caused the death of the king, simply that having failed so utterly, he sealed himself away and wasted away purposefully alone in this throne room, having committed such atrocity on his offspring and still having failed to save the kingdom he created; that's sort of the point of the tragedy of the idea instilled. everything fell apart not despite his best attempts, but because of them... the death of the pale king is without doubt meant to thematically be a suicide after a tragedy of his own design

New designs of my most beloved robots, for those of you who followed for silly robots and not my recent gay cannibalism lol.

Missed drawing them a lot, my number one blorbos eternally, and I like these new designs a lot. Though, with how frequently I redesign these two even these changes may not last...

-- almost.

Odette doesn't share the parental relationship with Ryne that Thancred does, but it's not quiet sisterly either. It is, however, strictly platonic. Like him, however, Odette doesn't really start healing from Minfilia's loss until the events of Shadowbringers.

[ahyesthesufferingoftvteens]

A stupid little concept that never fails to revolve around my head on occasion is Reeve and Kai obviously dating after the events of Season 2 and everyone knows that they're dating...except Adam.

It's not even that Adam is oblivious to romantic relationships. He isn't. It's just that he literally can't fathom the concept of his best friend and teammate & the "cringe" ADHD nerd he replaced said teammate with dating because:

A(. He thinks he knows Reeve better than Reeve knows himself and has determined that Kai is "not his type". He's seen the men Reeve date; Kai doesn't fit the bill for Reeve at ALL. B(. He thinks Kai is either straight, or that he prefers women over men. C(. ...It's Kai for crying out loud. That guy isn't getting a significant other any time soon. At least, in Adam's opinion. He's sure Kai will find SOMEONE, but not in a couple decades.

So he keeps coming up with platonic excuses in his head as to why they're being so fruity with each other. Cause Kai and Reeve dating would be so weird, wouldn't it guys?

Oh? Reeve and Kai are leaning against each other and Kai is info-dumping excitedly while Reeve patiently listens with hearts in his eyes? Aw, Adam's glad Reeve and Kai are becoming such good friends.

Oh? Reeve and Kai are hanging out with each other on the weekends a lot? Alone? They're even having sleepovers? Just the two of them? Adam sure does wonder what kind of video games those two friends are playing? Maybe he'll ask to join them sometime.

Oh? Kai's wearing Reeve's hoodies and jackets a lot? Huh, Reeve never offers his outerwear for Mira or Adam...Reeve is so nice to help his new friend like that!

Oh? Kai and Reeve are referring to each other with affectionate nicknames? Like Reeve calling Kai "Firefly", "Sparky", and "Smokin'"? Or Kai calling Reeve "Reevie" or "Darling"? That's a bit odd but, eh? These two friends must be really comfortable with each other to play around like that.

Oh? Kai and Reeve are literally making out with each other on the couch? In front of the rest of the friend group?

...What? What are they...? Guys why are they...? What do you MEAN they've been dating for SIX MONTHS?! Why didn't anyone TELL ADAM?! ...What do you MEAN it was OBVIOUS?!
