“I stopped seeking redemption. I don’t have the will to care.” /post-despair

Beth Crowley —Porcelain Heart Album  {Sentence Starters}

   Gundham stars for a moment, at a loss for words. Everything he imagines he should say feels wrong and any response that is close to his own feelings would only make this worse. He can’t possibly provide the comfort Nagito needs, not now. It would come out hollow and half-hearted because he understands why Nagito feels this way.

   The Remnants have so much to atone for, so much destruction to fix. The task is a daunting one and some days it feels impossible. The work needed just for his animal rehabilitation program is already a lot for him to handle alone. Sleepless nights have abound, and not only because of his nightmares. Even with all this work, all this effort the former breeder has met with little success. Many of the animals he has had brought in are still caught in the grip of despair.

   But at least he has a task to complete, a way to fix what he has done, even if he knows it won’t be nearly enough to redeem him. It must be harder for Nagito. Gundham isn’t certain what path to redemption he should take.

   “I … I know it is difficult, Grey One,” Gundham says, voice soft as he moves closer to his companion. He crouches next to him, a tentative hand reaching out to settle on his shoulder. “But you cannot relinquish the battle just yet. It is early days. Redemption will come but we must work to find it first.”

   Maybe these words would have a greater impact if he believed them himself.

Happy birthday Nanami-san! I wasn't sure what to get you because... I'm simply too useless to be thoughtful. But I think you can just tell me what your want and I'll buy it for you, no matter what it is!

“…oh, yeah. it’s my birthday.”

she’s always been fairly neutral on the subject of her birth… maybe because she doesn’t see it as a reason to celebrate? and neither has anyone else in her life, either. if she got gifts, they were begrudging gifts, with little thought put into them.

“…y’know. i don’t think i really want anything for my birthday,” chiaki said thoughtfully. she took another moment to finish the statement, as usual, trying to figure out what she wanted to say. “i’d be happy enough just to spend some time with you… i think. so how about we get some cake and play video games for a while?”

I'm crying look at that angel

The actual love of my life. He was the littlest, cutest, sweetest, tiniest little thing as a puppy. Now he’s a year and a half old and neither little nor tiny but he’s still the cutest and sweetest and I love him to bits. When I met him I didn’t even want another dog in the house. But he just wouldn’t leave my side, and when I put him down he cried and tried to climb onto my shoe to keep me there. Unfortunately he was too little to do even that much but I knew then that he had to come home with me. Not much has changed, he still sits on my feet to keep me from leaving him.

     HE’D HEARD THE NAME since he had arrived at hope’s peak. it seemed as if everyone knew who nagito komaeda was: the ultimate lucky student that preceded himself. and, from the stories he’d already heard, the other was certainly deserving of the title; FAR more than he believed himself to be.

     he supposed finally laying eyes on him should not have been much of a surprise: they went to the same school, after all; it was only a matter of time until they ran into one another. still, naegi hadn’t EXPECTED to bump into the other in the hall, and as soon as he realized the identity of the tall man standing in front of him, eyes widened——he seemed almost starstruck  ( because he WAS ).

     “ ... nagito komaeda? ... the lucky student? ”  naegi asked after a moment of pause so that he could force words to form. he was no admirer of talent and hope, compared to the other, but he could still recognize the awe he felt, looking up at him.  “ i’m makoto naegi! uh, this year’s lucky student. it’s really nice to meet you! ”

valid. because she is basically on the same boat with him.

Monaka had been playing her video games (alone) for the past few hours, which was usually enough to keep her entertained for the most part. Today, however, she was feeling particularly disinterested in them, which was really what brought her to come talk to Komaeda in the first place-- she figured maybe she could convince him to play with her, or at least watch her play so that she wouldn’t be so bored. 

“Onii-chaaaan,” came a whine, accompanied by the soft whrrrr of her wheelchair as she entered. “Monaka’s boooooored.” 

She glanced up at him, and suddenly got a feeling of.. wrongness. Heaviness in the air. Something was just off, though she couldn’t quite place what that was. She didn’t like it at all, but like hell was she going to acknowledge it like that. If she just flat-out ignored it, then maybe it would just go away, and she wouldn’t have to deal with... whatever was going on. So she continued as she was.

“What are you doing?” Her tone was more full of annoyance than anything else-- he had better things to be doing (like playing with her!) than just standing around here, didn’t he? “Monaka’s bored,” she repeated, perhaps a little more demanding this time. This gloomy feeling in the air was just kind of depressing. Even more reason for him to play with her. 

She took the hem of his jacket, giving a light tug as a signal for him to follow her.

“Did she hurt you?”

[ wizard of oz sentence starters // accepting ]

for a moment, vera was quizzical. she couldn’t even comprehend what the boy was saying. ‘she?’ who was ‘she?’

and then it clicked, though it still didn’t quite make sense.

“…who, ikusaba-san?” she knew about the girl’s talent, but she’d been nothing but polite in her interaction with her. “no. why? are you afraid of her?” green eyes searched komaeda for an answer, but he was as difficult to read as ever. “has she hurt you?” a note of concern in her voice. if somebody was being bullied, she wasn’t going to just stand by and let it happen.

@hopehaunted  //  this.

it’s been years. years since she’s last seen him. years since she’s even spared him a passing thought. of course, that’s a lie. she thinks about him at least... what? once a day? once a week? once a year? she’s not sure how time passes anymore. she knows she spent two years floating out there; she knows that because she glanced at a newspaper stand to find out what day it was. it’s barely been a week since she’s touched down. guess word spreads quickly to the people she least wants to see.

her eyes are steely and bored, a fragment of the bubbly girl she used to be. she doesn’t have money for food or clothes. not really, anyway. from the remains of the van and rocket, she’s engineered a wheelchair. her old hoodie is now a blanket that she keeps over her lap; that dress barely fits her anymore.

by this point, he’s noticed her, but she just lets it happen, watching him carefully, waiting for him to do something.

Kiss my muse!

He’d just been casually talking with Nagito as they walked along the shoreline, and he was really getting into what he was discussing, because he had stopped for a moment to point it out. It was something really far out at sea - a ship, but it looked like half of it was floating in the air. Fata morgana was the name of the phenomenon. He found it fascinating, and wanted to share this small piece of information with Nagito, because he had asked him about it. (Hajime was pretty sure he was just humouring him, but he still… appreciated it. Any talking was better than no talking at all.)

And then, before he could tell what was happening, he felt Nagito get closer to him - maybe too close, and suddenly–he felt their lips pressed together in a small, uncertain kiss. His hands that were so animated with gestures just a few moments ago fell to his sides, going languid as the shock of the sudden contact overwhelmed him.

It must have been an opportune time to kiss him, after all, as the sun was setting and it bathed them both in a deep, orange colour.

“Komaeda,” he suddenly spoke out against the other’s lips, finally, finally remembering how to speak coherently again. He moved a hand up to grip his arm, as if to… make sure he was still there, and real. Because this entire silent exchange felt very ethereal.

Our muses’ are drunk and making bad decisions leave a ❋ in my askbox for our muses’ to share a stupid, drunken kiss

   Nagito has never been the most predictable person. Often Gundham finds himself incredibly confused by the luckster’s actions and words. Having his mind inebriated doesn’t reduce that confusion. Instead it increases, leaving him doubly caught off guard when Nagito decides to meet his self-deprecating wallowing with a kiss.

   So caught up by the melancholy alcohol tends to drown him in Gundham is not prepared for the sudden proximity. He goes rigid, mind freezing up when the luckster presses a soft kiss to his lips. The sudden contact makes his skin crawl, a discomfort moving through him. Despite all of this confusion and discomfort the breeder doesn’t push Nagito away, not attempt to step away. He just lets it happen.

   His companion pulls away and Gundham just stares at him. His features burn, a hand rising to his mouth. He is so shocked by this that silence hangs over him for the first time since he became intoxicated. No longer does he grumble about his corrupting nature or bemoan how lonely he truly is. He is wide eyed and uncertain. Eventually, he does manage to speak.

   “Wh-why would you do that?” He whispers. “Why kiss a thing like me?”

Thank you for these words of truth

People can be so toxic and I don’t understand why. In what good goddamn way is tearing a person down like this more fun than either enjoying the game or doing about anything else on the planet? We were all assholes at one point, just some of us were unlucky enough to have done so a little more publicly than others.

oml bb, guess who’s knee deep in this drama for almost 4 months… This Boo

It’s part of what turned me off my ooc blog tbh. Because I enjoyed shitposting about the game, and I always got hella hyped when Y.andev would like my posts because I think it’s awesome he’s actively encouraging creativity even in it’s shallowest forms in his fandom, especially since so much of his time is already on the game, I have to wonder if he ever sleeps. But I just got so sick of the inevitable “Actually--” messages in my inbox that I was worried it’d start ruining the entire game for me.
