Psyche moves through the crowd of mortals going about their daily lives. Despite their stature—you can only compact divinity so much—the people don't pay them much mind. It wonders if they can somehow sense the emptiness inside, like a cheaply made statue crumbling apart.

{Oh, shut up.} {You're so depressing.} {So mean.} {You shut up too.}

It digs its nails into its palms as it continues down the sidewalk, trying their best to ignore the dissonant whispers inside of them. Like the name suggests, the restless souls are hardly ever still. Some of them quiet when seeing the world they remember, comforted by the scenery, but others only get angrier. Her head pounds—

And then it pounds again, this time onto the concrete below.

"Fuck—Holy shit, I'm so sorry—"

Another voice—one outside of itself, it realizes—rings out over the others. In front of Psyche, sitting on the pavement too, is a mortal. Her hair is frizzy, her jeans are tattered, and there's a name tag on her jacket—Harmonia.

"It, um..." Psyche fumbles {in a very undignified way for a god}. "It's alright, really. I wasn't paying attention."

Harmonia frowns and runs a hand through his hair, freckled nose scrunching up when he hits a snag.

"No, I—it's my fault, I'm late for work and totally rushing. Here, uh..." He stands up and extends a hand out to Psyche. "Are you hurt? I have a first aid kit if you need it—I trip a lot, hah, always have one on me—Oh, but no pressure! I mean, we just met after all, and—Wait, what am I saying? I'm just offering bandages. Um, still but no pressure, y'know?"

As the mortal stumbles through her offer of help—something thoroughly unnecessary, considering its godhood—Psyche can't help but stare. Harmonia doesn't have to take the time to help them. Human lives are short and precious. Why waste them like that? And besides, it would just make her more late for work. There's no reason to be so kind, and every reason to not be, and yet...

And yet he is. Offering out a hand, still anxiously stuttering apologies. Choosing to help. The gift of choice that it gave her. What a beautiful thing.

{Her or humanity?} {You're staring.} {Holy shit, yeah, you haven't said anything.} {Why are we even helping?} {...Good point.}

The souls come back in full force as blush rises to its cheeks {embarassed or flattered?}. It should really say something. A thank you, an apology, anything—but it's all so loud, and she's so kind, and their chest aches from the joy and the stress. It has to go. Now.

-

And that's how Psyche found itself sitting at the edge of the sea of souls, knees to its chest, watching the waves.

"Damn, you look miserable." A hoof kicks the sand beside them. "Well, more miserable than you usually look."

Psyche grits its teeth. "Thank you, Charon."

It can't see him, but it knows he raises his hands in mock surrender.

"Alright, alright, I get the memo. You want time alone?"

It's a stupid question, and they both know it. Psyche never has any time alone. Still, the company of others is better than the company of the dead.

"...No."

Charon plops themselves down on the sand beside her. "Gotcha, I'll just be quiet then—and you know how hard that is for me! So be grateful, yeah?"

Psyche can't help but snort, earning a grin from its ferryman.

"Yeah. Of course."

❛ thank you, you always know how to make me laugh. ❜ {Charon/Q!Philza to Fit}

Fit smiled at his friend Charon and replied.

"Don't thank me, that's what friends do."

He exclaimed mockingly and softly.

There's something very, very wrong with that Gardevoir. Enough so that its mere presence seems to summon Away instantaneously, hovering behind Gold like an anxious parent. Gold, for his part, seems to be under-reacting to the horrors in front of him.

After all, he is also the horrors.

"Are-- are you okay?" His pupils flash in and out of existence as they laser focus in on the gaping hole in Gardevoir's chest, right where its horn should be. Gardevoir isn't naturally from Johto unless there's another Ralts swarm on Route 34, but he's still sure he can help out.

"Do you need... a potion? A Pokémon Center?"

Lol! I totally had a crush on Ice too. I was like, I normally don't like pricks but you're an exception.

Also yes!! I also think Shadows of Almia is the best out of the 3 ranger games! The story hooked me more than the other ones and was the only one I could replay over and over and over again and never get tired of it even though I always knew how it'd go. The plot and characters are truly something else!

Sometimes in life, you just have to develop a crush on a guy who calls you a noob. But it’s ok bc you kick his ass.

  That name sounds familiar. Something whispered in a dream, maybe? Something in between the light and dark? Not a waking name.

  You’re wrong. They are who deemed us unfit to rest peacefully. To slip into the darkness, quietly.

  

  They made a game of us. You’re a game. I am a game.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 123 *Discovery of a New Region within the Earth's Core Scientists have uncovered a doughnut-shaped region within Earth's molten liquid outer core, located at low latitudes parallel to the equator. This torus-like zone was detected due to seismic waves travelling slower through this area compared to the rest of the liquid outer core. The discovery, published in Science Advances, suggests that this region could be several hundred kilometres thick and contains a high concentration of light chemical elements, which may be affecting the seismic wave speeds. The findings provide new insights into the Earth's magnetic field and its potential future changes. *Fresh Questions about the True Origins of the Earth's Moon A new hypothesis challenges the widely accepted giant impact theory of the Moon's formation. The study proposes that the Moon was captured during a close encounter between the young Earth and a separate terrestrial binary planetary system. This theory could explain the Moon's current orbital plane, more aligned with the sun's ecliptic than Earth's equator. The study opens the door to further exploration of the Moon's origins, especially considering its chemical similarities to Earth. *New Study Reveals More Secrets about Pluto's Binary Partner, Charon NASA's Webb Space Telescope has revealed that Charon, Pluto's binary partner, has significant reserves of carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on its surface. The carbon dioxide ice forms a thin veneer over a water ice-rich subsurface. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that the carbon dioxide was likely stored beneath the surface until exposed by impacts, while hydrogen peroxide results from radiation breaking apart water ice. These findings add to the understanding of Charon's chemical composition and its geological history. 00:00:00 - This is spacetime series 27, episode 123 for broadcast on 11 October 2024 00:00:46 - Scientists have detected a new doughnut shaped region within the Earth's molten liquid core 00:12:31 - A new study has come up with a different hypothesis to explain the origin of the moon 00:17:46 - NASA's Webb Space Telescope reveals vast reserves of carbon dioxide on Pluto's surface 00:21:19 - People with type two diabetes who sleep short may develop microvascular disease 00:24:23 - Movie producers claim they've accidentally captured footage of a lake monster 00:27:23 - Spacetime is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through various podcasting platforms www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

-@circles-n-spirals-alike

{Oh no, oh no... Oh, I didn't mean to offend! Oh dear, poor thing, she must be so stressed out—}

■ hey what's up, i'm just chillin' ■

{CHARON, A LITTLE HELP HERE??}

{...Wait, what was that first part?}

“ you’re here…?” {Charon to Fit}

Fit, when he found out what the federation did to his friend Charon, instantly went looking for him and spent a couple of days looking for him until he found an empty house and when he saw him he tensed up, when he heard his voice Fit softened slightly but the anger was increasing.

"Charon, what…what happened to you?"

Fit muttered, his voice shaking unknowingly.

Do any of you know where they make some delicious sweets around here? It's been a while since I've last gifted my mate a sweet treat. And assortment perhaps?

@talktoazrukhal said: ❛ bullet wounds don’t just miraculously heal overnight. ❜

        "Well, I'm not really sure I'd call this a miracle." This meaning: being a ghoul. But the fact that they do heal fast is...a silver lining.

yours is a heart stowing secrets. (if you see me write with myself no you don't)

these are not words said unkindly.   winston bears the knowledge firm in mind as he brings the cup of tea to his lips,  the morning sun not quite enough to warm his hands in a satisfactory manner.  not the penthouse's fault,  really,  he has always run rather cold.  unlike charon,  but that thought is neither here nor there,  merely something he knows to be true about the man.

getting to know winston is an incredibly hard task.  he has to be cracked open like a safe and even then he might not grant access,  stubborn even in defeat.  one needs time and an ungodly amount of patience to learn the code.  the man now quietly sitting in front of him,  already honed to perfection but not into his role for the day yet,  knows the password by heart.  not everything,  of course not,  but he knows more than most.  he probably knows more than anyone else will ever know.

these are words said with understanding.  that some doors will stay barred to him.  that there is no use in trying to pry them open,  unless winston himself unlocks them willingly.  from his lips,  this is not a reprimand at all,  rather a reminder that he knows this about him,  too,  and that he will accept not knowing more than he has to,  but not less than he deserves.

" ah.  but you know my mother's name.  ''   what might be mistaken for a simple statement,  utterly casual,  holds the weight of a shared life:  my mother knows you by name as well.  you have made her dinner,  as i am sure you recall.  she asks after you every time i speak to her. 

there is no need to say this out loud.  charon's expression softens around a smile,  some degrees warmer than his usual,  ever polite,  one.  he says goodbye without speaking   (   because it always means see you later   ),  touching three fingers to the back of his,  much colder,  hand.

❛  i suggest the lounge.  it is warmer.  and there will be more tea waiting for you,  of course.  ❜
