#i wanna see her so bad

[fyeahgothicromance]

Thinking about Coatlicue, Aztec goddess of life, death, rebirth, and the earth

Tonāntzin (our mother)

who was so terrifying that when she was rediscovered under the Templo Mayor, the white elite had to bury her again, not only to hide her terrifying image but also hide her from her indigenous followers who remembered her and loved her and went to great lengths to still worship her.

Tēteoh īnnān (mother of the gods)

Mother of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, who became pregnant when she touched a ball of feathers that fell from above and then gave birth to Huitzilopochtli, the God of War and Sacrifice.

Coatlalopeuh, on who's hill the dark Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego and, in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec, told him "Am I not here, I who am your mother?" Nuestra Virgen who appeared, not as the new mother of God but as the Woman Clothed with the Sun at the end of world to remind us that, even if the world as we knew it ended, we have survived and will survive and continue

Just thinking about Kuina.

Just thinking about how important she is to Zoro and how Zoro carries her dream too.

Just thinking about Kuina living and setting out together with Zoro.

Just thinking about Kuina and Zoro both crucified and Luffy stumbling up on them both.

Just thinking about how their relationship would be and how Kuina would still best Zoro and beat his ass in sword fighting.

Just thinking and missing Kuina </3

HOW DID RAPPA AND BOOTHILL END UP BEING SO SWEET???

Before 2.6 even dropped, they were being cute! In Rappa's Keeping Up With Star Rail, Boothill describes Rappa's creations as "high-tech ninjutsu" rather than equipment, or machines, or anything else that someone would have normally defaulted to. This is something Rappa is very proud of and insistent about in her work, and he respects that!

Even with those party join lines, he refers to her not as a Galaxy Ranger, but by her chosen title!

Rappa seems to get a lot of shit for how she talks, too, with people throughout the patch accusing her of playing around or not taking anything seriously. Boothill though is swift to correct that, that even if it sounds like nonsense, Rappa is someone to be respected and a force to be reckoned with. He seems to really admire her resolve, and especially her intellect! He has nothing but praise for her, it's so so sweet.

And the way she talks about him, too! Like there are. A lot of things you can say about a man like Boothill fjkdlsajk but she always speaks so admirably of him?

There's also the difference in nicknames- Rappa refers to every other person as "Ninja." And most of them are descriptions that you can pick up at a glance, or without knowing a person too deeply. Singer for Robin is obvious, everyone knows who she is. Gama for Reca means "toad," which is a reference to the assistant director he always has with him. Baseball Bat for the trailblazer is also obvious. Ruri for March 7th means "lapis lazuli" which is probably a reference to her Six Phase Ice, or even her appearance since she looks like if a Stellar Jade became human. Hiryu for Dan Heng is actually "flying dragon" but it's also a famous video game reference so I'm only willing to put so much stock into that one fjkdsjakd and besides, she could have easily heard about March 7th and Dan Heng from Boothill, since he talks about the dango trio to Rappa, too.

But Boothill! Rappa refers to Boothill as "Silvergun Shura," with Shura being a reference to Asura, a demigod of war. It's a name used to describe someone fighting a relentless, inhumane war and desperately seeking victory. It also refers to a level of hell, governed by anger and pain. Both interpretations suit him strongly. It's not really a title you could give just looking at someone. It's something you'd have to know them at least a little more deeply for.

Boothill also very distinctly lacks the common ninja title- instead, in the EN translation, Rappa calls him Lord. It's a highly respectable title even in the original Chinese, apparently akin to addressing reigning royalty.

She just. Seems to respect and admire him so much? It's so so sweet?

And despite how often it's stated that Galaxy Rangers tend to work and travel alone, it seems these two are at least fairly familiar with each other, which makes me really happy! In an instance of beautiful timing, just today Hoyo released a new text convo, and! When she wants someone to hang out with, Boothill was one of the first people Rappa thought of!

Rappa knew Dan Heng because Boothill talked about him. She knew about Clockwork. Boothill has spoken with her often enough and long enough to know how deeply her hatred ran, and to be upset for her when Primon got away.

They both speak so positively of each other, even when one is out of of earshot. They openly show a ton of respect and admiration for one another, and the way they talk about each other is more than just two people who happen to be part of the same faction. They know each other more closely than that. Boothill is only in Penacony at all because of Rappa, and Rappa trusted Boothill enough to seek him out for this.

My favorite, though? The part I considered the cutest?

Rappa literally went all the way to the Luofu just to watch Boothill fight in the Luminary Wardance.

[azure-clockwork]

I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

Season 2, episode 1 starts. We see a party full of rich people, booze and drugs. Crystal is there, talking and laughing, her mean old self all over the place.

Something caughts her attention and she looks away, confused. Things start blurring. She's not here nor there anymore. A sound gets louder and louder-

And Crystal wakes up with her phone buzzing. A message from an old acquaintance: "happy birthday crys!! where are we going to celebrate?". She doesn't reply, instead falling into the bed again, grumbling.

Then, suddenly, Charles jumps from her bedroom mirror, startling her. "Crystal, we need you in the office like, immediately", and Edwin shows up from behind him, simply to grab him and pull him back into the mirror while saying "If you would be so kind to give us a hand, Crystal".

She blinks for a moment, before jumping out of bed and getting ready to leave, a smile on her face the whole time.

She knows exactly how she'll celebrate, and with whom.
