I've seen people argue that Cinder choosing to become the empress of the Eastern Commonwealth when she explicitly states that she doesn't want to be royalty is out-of-character. I counter argue that that is a oversimplification of her personal insecurities and a misreading of her character arc.

Cinder's key reasons for not wanting to be royalty are 1. She doesn't want to fail people. 2. She desires anonymity, and 3. She doesn't believe that she will be accepted by others--"She had seen the prejudices of the people in the Commonwealth. Something told her that they wouldn't be as accepting of her as a ruler. She wasn't even sure she wanted to be empress. She was still getting used to the idea of being a princess."

Cinder is naturally afraid of the responsibility she would have to bear as a leader. However that does not translate to her being inactive. Cinder is keenly interested in social justice. She encourages Iko to petition the government to initiate change for androids in the very first chapters we meet her. She takes an active part in the revolution, not just for the preservation of her own life, but because she genuinely cares about the citizens of Luna. This is affirmed by how Cinder prefers to be called a revolutionary over a princess--her politics mean more to her than her lineage. Once crowned queen of Luna, she is tireless in enacting changes to the country. If she truly hated being in this position as queen, she would have taken a much more passive stance and allowed the thaumaturges to manage the kingdom. In Wires and Nerve she demonstrates how deeply she cares about the welfare of her people and fights against threats to her country personally even when she is strongly encouraged against it. And then, once she abdicates her throne, she becomes an ambassador to facilitate peaceful relations between Earth and Luna. Released from her birthright, she could have resumed life as a mechanic, still hassled by paparazzi, but no longer held accountable for political peace. But Cinder chooses to stay a politician because she has always genuinely cared about using her power to help others. She represents the powerless as having been that once herself.

Cinder desires a life without public scrutiny. But where does this originate? This desire is an extension of Adri's abuse. Because she was mocked for being cyborg, she wished to hide from people in general so they do not uncover her secret. But she sacrifices this luxury when she decides to go to the ball and tell Kai of Levana's plot. Later, she comes to accept that--born into fame--she would never enjoy a life of anonymity.

Connected with her insecurity as a cyborg, Cinder fears that she will not be accepted by others. She believes this as a byproduct of the discrimination she faced from fellow shopkeepers in New Beijing Market such as Chang Sacha. However Kai makes it clear that the people of the Commonwealth have come to appreciate her, even wanting to make a "statue [of her] where [her] booth used to be at the market" and "action figures" of her. Although she will always have critics, Cinder is generally liked by Earthens and praised by them for abdicating her throne, promising an end to Lunar tyranny.

Kai is right when he tells her that she "would make a great leader" even when she "never wanted to be queen." Why? Because her wants and her abilities are different. The 16-year-old Cinder we first meet opposes her birthright as queen because she has the weight of the universe placed on her shoulders with just one sentence. She's an unloved, inexperienced teenager--of course she's more than hesitant! However she grows to embrace this fundamental part of herself, even having "pride" to declare that she is "the rightful heir!" Cinder becomes loved and becomes experienced. For her to remain the same girl in the prison cell, terrified by the prospect of being a princess would be a stagnation of her character development. It may not be the life she chose, but it is all the same the life that she accepts.

When Kai asks her to consider becoming the empress in the future, Cinder agrees and takes "in the first full breath she'd taken in days." We don't see a girl paralyzed with fear or regret. Rather, she feels relief because she can envision this prospect and not be crushed by it. And finally, when Kai proposes, she excitedly looks forward to these things: "She would be Kai's wife. She would be the Commonwealth's empress. And she had every intention of being blissfully happy for ever, ever after." Cinder's vision for happiness welcomes being the empress despite the hardships attached to it, and she is the most motivated, willing and hard-working candidate for the position.

Surgery

In which the Drifter requests medical assistance from Eris Morn.

Now with art from @h3xxthev3xx !!!

Link to Ao3 if you prefer to read it there

ACCESS: RESTRICTED DECRYPTION KEY: 7CP9SXMO2G$IKO-006 REP#: 062-DERELICT-AUDIO AGENT(S): AUN-326 SUBJ: RECENT VIP#1316 and ERI-223 INTERACTIONS - MULTIPLE RECORDINGS

RECORDING 77455.8 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“Hey, Moondust!”

“What is it, Rat?”

“Serious question for you. I’ve been thinkin’-”

“A challenge for you, I’m sure.”

“Aww… you ruined it.”

“Ruined what?”

“Can’t tell you now. Maybe later.”

“Clearly it wasn’t that important.”

“Oh it was, but it can wait.”

“Speak plainly. What do you want?”

“Nope. Not telling you now. The moment is gone.”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

...

RECORDING 77456.4 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“Hey, Three-Eyes.”

“I am returning your call. Your message said it was important.”

“Yeah, so, um… you do dissections, right? Cutting stuff up, like, medically? For science?”

“Generally, yes.”

“So you’d be good at using tweezers to pull bits of shrapnel out from being embedded in human flesh, right?”

“What have you done?”

“I was working on a grenade idea, more of a mine, really, and it worked! It worked real well, actually. I’m proud of it. Misjudged the range a bit, though. Made myself into a bit of a pincushion. Was wondering if you’d be willing to help me out.”

“You have a ghost. Use it.”

“Nope. Not gonna happen. But, if you’re busy, that’s fine. I’ll deal.”

“I… do you even have antiseptic there? Bandages?”

“Yeah, a bright light and tweezers too, just need you to be the hands.”

“I am on my way.”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

...

RECORDING 77456.5 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“Ow.”

Plink.

“Do you prefer I stop?”

“Nope I prefer you keep going.”

“Then stop squirming.”

“It hurts.”

“You have punctured over one third of your body with foreign objects. Of course it hurts.”

“Ow.”

Plink.

“Upon cursory examination, that appears to be a shell casing.”

“Yeah I threw some in there. Ow.”

Plink.

“And this one… a finishing nail? From carpentry?”

“Yeah, tossed that in there too, whatever I had lying around, really. Ow.”

“A metal screw. Not pointed. For fastening metal, most likely, but rather small. From electronics, perhaps?”

Plink.

“Probably. I wasn’t paying much attention when I stuffed the thing. Oh dammit.”

“This one is curved and deeply embedded. I am trying to be gentle but if I do not pull it out, it is just going to work its way in deeper. It looks like broken glass.”

“Yeah I put some of that in there too. Ah shit. Fuck!”

“I have extracted it.”

Plink.

“That was probably the worst one. Just a few more and this leg will be done. Do you need a break?”

“Nope. Let’s get it over with.”

“I would let you squeeze my hand through the pain, but I need both of mine to remove what you’ve done to yourself.”

“Yeah, I know, thought’s real sweet though. Sweeter than you normally are. You must feel sorry for me. Ugh.”

Plink.

“Have you decided whether or not you will ask me what you were going to ask me before?”

“Nope. Now is definitely not the time. Ow.”

Plink.

“I am curious as to what has you so reserved. You are not normally bashful.”

“Ow.”

Plink.

“I don’t… I don’t even know what that means. But that hurts.”

“I spoke too soon. This one is another that is much deeper than expected. You are bleeding quite a bit. I recommend we stop.”

“Is that the last one?”

“In this leg, yes. I have not yet examined the rest of you.”

“Get it outta me.”

“Can I convince you to reconsider your ghost?”

“No. You take it out or I will.”

“The cleanest way to remove this will be to cut it out of you.”

“Then do that.”

“Why are you so stubborn about this?”

“Because I am.”

“Will you at least get your ghost to give you something for the pain? I am hurting you considerably.”

“No.”

“What about alcohol?”

“I have plenty of that, yeah.”

“Where is it?”

“Second door on the left, back cupboard up high has the strong stuff.”

“Do you have a preference?”

“Whiskey.”

“In a glass?”

“Nah. This ain’t a glass kinda situation.”

“I will return.”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

...

RECORDING 77456.6 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“I told you I didn’t need a glass, Moondust.”

“This is for me, when I’m done. The rest of the bottle is yours.”

“I mean, the whole thing is mine, but fine, Doctor Three-Eyes, you can take your cut.”

“I shall, and the alcohol too. Now drink some of that while I clean up the rest of you and prepare the incision site.”

“You say such sexy things when you’re working. What? What’s that look for?”

“You are not normally this careless. What actually happened?”

“I am not in the habit of lying to you, Moondust. In fact, I don’t even know if I can. You see through everything. I do not think I have ever successfully convinced you something was true when it was not.”

“You are not in the habit of lying to anyone. You simply do not state the full truth, constantly deflect conversations, and allow people to believe whatever they want to be true without ever correcting them. It is what makes your methods of deception so effective.”

“You… you really do know me, Moondust. Ain’t no one ever been able to get in my head like you. Ow!”

“Drink more. You are still too sensitive for me to proceed.”

“Get me drunk, in a compromising position, and then stick things into me. I see how it is.”

“Keep insinuating that I’d behave in such a manner as to take advantage of you and you will be left to extract this distorted… spring? on your own.”

“I’m sorry. That was actually out of line. I trust you more than anyone. You know that. I was trying to make a joke and worded that way wrong. Didn't come out as flirty as it did in my head.”

“You are in considerable pain. “

“Don't forget the blood loss.”

“Drink more alcohol you… clumsy fool.”

“That has to be one of the gentlest insults you’ve ever thrown at me. You are being nice to me. What I was trying to say before was more that you are at this point literally trying to get me drunk. I might say anything.”

“Any confessions of undying love will not be held against you when you are sober.”

“Well there goes that plan out the window. How am I supposed to tell you of my undying love so you won't believe me when I'm drunk and I can deny it later if you don't feel the same way so it isn't awkward?”

“I have faith in your ability to be forthright and lewd without chemical assistance. And you have yet to show any reservations about being awkward in my presence so I doubt that is an issue. Also, drink.”

“Yes ma'am. Oh shit that stings.”

“Disinfectant usually does.”

“So let's say, hypothetically, I was truly madly deeply hopelessly in love with you, what would be the best way to go about getting you to love me back? Hypothetically.”

“Let me see the bottle. Not enough. Drink. Hypothetically, your premise is flawed, rendering the logic of the entire question unanswerable.”

“Come again?”

“There is an inherent assumption in what you have asked, hypothetically, which would itself be, again hypothetically, incorrect.”

“And what's that?”

“The assumption that I do not care for you already.”

“Wait what?”

“More. Drink.”

“Did you just say what I think you just said?”

“I said nothing. We were speaking hypothetically.”

“Ah, because I could have sworn you said you love me. Totally am starting to feel a buzz though so that may have been wishful thinking on my part.”

“Clearly someone who shows up in the middle of the night to remove foreign objects from your flesh because you are too stubborn to get help from your ghost does not have any affection for you in the slightest. You obviously imagined that. Do you have scissors?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I'm cutting off your pants.”

“Now I know I'm dreaming.”

“Hmmm…”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

...

RECORDING 77456.8 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“Are you ready?”

“Ready as I'll ever be to have a beautiful woman scar me for life.”

“You have more than one life. This is a non-issue.”

“Point.”

“I am beginning now.”

“Fuck.”

“Pausing for a moment here. I've got the object. I have a mostly clear path to pull it free.”

“Ok.”

“I'm going to have to wiggle it. This will be painful.”

“Eris Morn, mistress of pain, I submit to your will. Hurt me you beautiful three eyed witch.”

“Is it the alcohol or the pain that's making you so eloquent?”

“Probably both, plus that undying love.”

“Hold on to something that is not me. Three… two… one...”

[INTERMITTENT SCREAMING 43 SECONDS]

“Did you just freeze my ass with stasis?”

“To stop the bleeding, yes. You have needle and thread?”

“Yeah desk over there, bottom drawer.”

“And I'll find a pot within which to boil water within your kitchen area?”

“Yeah.”

“A clean pot?”

“I ain’t the one that leaves a burned wok lying around unusable for a month. I use my pots. They’re all clean. Trust.”

“Be still until I return.”

“You’ve got me frozen to the table. I couldn't move if I wanted to.”

“You're a resourceful creature. I'm sure you'd find a way if you wished to be free, but please don't.”

“I'm staying put. You say stay, I stay.”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

...

RECORDING 77456.8 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“You keep doin sweet gentle stuff like brushing your chin against the top of my head like that I’m gonna start thinking you like me or something.”

“It is difficult to express reassurance to you any other way when my hands are coated in your blood.”

“If I’m good will you nuzzle my head again? Or is it if I wiggle? What gets me more head nuzzles, Moondust?”

“Be still, Rat. You are messing up my stitches.”

“Anyone ever tell you that you’re weirdly good at sewing human flesh?”

“No, but I accept the compliment.”

“It barely even hurts where you’re sewing. You really are good.”

“Thank the alcohol.”

“I’m thanking you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“You know, there ain’t no one else I trust like this.”

“I know. It is an honour to have your trust. One I do not take lightly. I know how rarely it is given.”

“If by rarely, you mean pretty much not at all, yeah.”

“Are you going to tell me what you were going to ask me?”

“Now’s really not the time.”

“I think we have cleansed the last of your blood off of most surfaces and ourselves.”

“You patched me up real good. You make a fine surgeon.”

“Usually my subjects are not still alive.”

“You gonna stay and finish that drink?”

“I had forgotten. Yes. I shall. But first would you like help to your bed?”

“You and me in my bed? I like this.”

“Avoid putting weight on that side. You can, and will, rip the stitches if you exert it too much before you’ve healed.”

“I like this side of you, all sweet and nurturing. If I’d known you’d be this nice to me I’d… nah that was stupid and I won’t be doing that again.”

“Thank you.“

“Still proud of how well it exploded though. Gonna give some of them to Devrim to put around the farm. Should very effectively shred anything that comes to mess with the civilians. I really didn’t think I was in range. You know how careful I am.”

“I know. Sit. I will return.”

“You gonna come back and cuddle me? I’d like that.”

“No, but if you wish, I will sit with you while I finish my drink.”

“I’ll take what I can get.”

"I'd expect nothing less"

[SILENCE 8.25 MINUTES]

“Woman of my dreams, bringing me the bottle after putting me to bed. You really are the best, Three-Eyes.”

“Sit up.”

“Ok. Oh hello. You let me lie in your lap like this, you must feel sorry for me.”

“No. There is nowhere else to sit.”

“I disagree, this is half-way to cuddling right here. You like me. Ain’t no one sit like this with someone they don’t like.”

“I sewed your skin. That’s considerably more testament to me liking you than this, and this is at least comfortable for both of us.”

“It’s real nice. ‘Specially when you touch my face like that.”

“Hmmm…”

“I propose a toast.”

“To?”

“Why, to the most excruciating and intimate experience you and I have shared to date. The night Eris Morn sewed up the Drifter after he blew himself up.”

Clink.

“Hmmm…”

“You like it?”

“It tastes like… wood and paint thinner.”

“That’s just the first few sips. Flavour changes as you go.”

“Hmmm…”

“You should visit my bed more often, Moondust, it’s nice.”

“If you wish I will return tomorrow and change the bandages to make sure you aren’t getting infected.”

“I’d like that. You know… you could… stay.”

“And sleep with you in your bed?”

“Yeah. Don’t tell me that doesn’t sound real nice to you too. Not when you’re running your fingertips through my hair like that, like you’re already considering it.”

“Perhaps now is the time to ask me what you were going to ask me?”

“You sure those eyes don’t give you mind reading powers?”

“One does not need to read your mind, when they can read your body language, and between the lines of what comes out of your lips. You have not been discrete.”

“No, I have not. But, if you already know what I was going to ask you, what’s your answer then?”

[SILENCE 3.75 MINUTES]

“That… is worth getting blowed up for.”

“Please do not. Multiple lacerations and shrapnel from improvised explosive devices are not a prerequisite for my affection.”

“Can you let me know what the pre-”

“The pre-”

“The p-”

“You know, Moondust, it’s been a very long time, literally longer than I can remember, since someone was able to make my head spin with just a few kisses.”

“That is more likely being caused by a combination of shock, blood loss and alcohol.”

“Nah. Had all three lots of times. This is all you.”

“You’re trembling.”

“Yeah, it happens.”

“Let me get you under the blankets.”

“I ain’t cold. It’s just you feel so good. You feel so fucking good. Wait, where you going?”

“To take off my boots. Move over and get under the covers so that I may join you.”

“Oh hell yeah, you’re just making all my dreams come true right now.”

“Be careful of your stitches or you’ll bleed all over both of us and your bed.”

“Worth it.”

“Behave yourself or I will leave.”

“Yes ma’am. Ah shit, Eris, I can’t handle how soft and warm you are when I’m this drunk. I’m gonna cry.”

“You are inebriated and injured and I am choosing to stay. Alcohol induced emotional outbursts are to be expected and are a reflection of your trust, which is precious to me. I consider it an honour to hold you as you cry.”

-15- Together

ACCESS: RESTRICTED DECRYPTION KEY: 98XTU88T41$WAW-990 REP #: VIP-BREACH AGENT(S): IKO-006

SUBJ: Agent Cogito-4 spotted in the Quagmire

We have intercepted a conversation on a closed channel frequency used by the "Fireteam Colide" within the Court of Savathûn between VIP#0311, known as titan Kobzar-13, a Vanguard Scout, and COG-411, Vanguard Reasercher and Deputy Warlock Vanguard Cogito-4. The conversation confirmed his current location and mentioned artifact's from the Sunken Piramid.

Adressing your concerns, #411's behaviour is not out of ordinary.

Communication has been transcribed below. Breaks are described in annotations.

COG: Listen, I'm never against a friendly mission or two together but I think that you are just using me to complete Savathûn's puzzles. KOB: Well, it's not like you're getting nothing out of it. COG: I'm not because I'm not going to use something made by a Queen of Lies. KOB: …Is that why you are levitating?

Note: Only background noises are heard for 402 following seconds.

COG: …I think that this will be it. KOB: What is this? COG: A black disc, roughly 20x20cm. Star-shaped hole in the center. KOB: I heard that some guardians use something like this for shooting practice. COG: No, no, these ones are different. It's like a gigantic columnal of a crinoid. This being in Rhulk's possesion would suggest that there must have been a civilization of these somewhere, likely inteligent. I saw some more artifacts depicting these creatures inside the vessel. KOB: …And? COG: What do you mean? It's a great discovery! KOB: But… if you found this in a piramid… they are dead. And so is the Witness so there is no point in learning from them or anything.

Note: Here the recording captures approximately 10 seconds of silence.

COG: Really? KOB: What? And before you say something about me not carrying about science- COG: Yeah, yeah, I know. KOB: You don't really care, do you? COG: I do. I care about the crinoids. And the others, too. Do you sometimes think they had friends? KOB: Likely.

Note: Here the recording captures approximately 4 seconds of silence.

COG: Sorry. KOB: It's ok. I get it, I think. …Why are you here anyway? Nessus didn't work out? COG: …What do you mean "didn't work out"? Half of the planet collapsed! I did half of the sampling collecting work and left before I got burned to death by radiola. KOB: What? COG: You didn't know that?! KOB: I was on Earth! Why wouldn't I be? Everyone in the City is talking about how bat demons are going to get us and that Targe is dead- COG: I'm afraid that you are not wrong. Then I won't be worrying you more. Just know that Nessus is out of the equation and I- well, I want to have something to do! Last time I got to exploring a piramid it got lost to the Darkness and when I came back it was gone!

Note: Here the recording captures two seconds of a long sigh from #411.

COG: And that thing that happened to Nessus. Let's just say that I lost a bunch of Vanguard equipment and I think that Ikora is trying to get me. Don't tell her where I am…

●Half-Truths◌

A fine blade, but seems like it's missing something…

A star I think. We count on stars as steady friends because they always rise and always shine but a star's a delicate truce: an explosion caught by its own mass so that it can't erupt and can't collapse. Thus I imagine the state of the machine might be. But one force or another has gone awry and now it rests here, snuffed and broken, waiting for the two rival forms of ruin to be set in balance again.

"Duality is not a curse, but a gift." —Author unknown

"The road ahead is unknown, but time tells us many things. The moments that become past in turn become blueprints for the future. In this space, there is no right or wrong. "We find a contemporaneous merging of what is known and what is unknown here. Somewhere between the knowns and unknowns lies the real. The tangible. "There is a weight to it; a feeling that tells you what you hold is true. "But what if the truth hasn't been told? What if the truth is a lie? "New paths present themselves. Blueprints change. We walk the line of truth every day. "But now, the line that holds the gentle balance has been crossed. "The truth is, this won't be the last time." —Excerpt from the Symmetry pamphlet, "A Place Between"

◯Feet alone cannot take us to where we're going.❍

youtube

Matt, Matt, wake up!

I was thinking about how there's no true end to anything

Everything comes from and goes to the same place

Nowhere!

So, if the beginning is the end

And the end is the beginning

Then what's the end anyway?

Does that help you sleep better?

Like the rosy haze of an apocalypse sky

Or the comfort inside of a lie?

◐Close your eyes, and open your mind.◑

"To have Light, we must have Dark. This is the symmetry of the Universe." —Controversial Warlock Ulan-Tan

I propose a simple experiment—look around. You see light. You see darkness. There could not be one without the other. They are two sides of the same coin. If it is true for these Newtonian echoes, why would it not be true of the purest, paracausal forms? Therefore, I conclude: the reason you persecute me is not because of the symmetry. It's because of the truth beyond this truth, the truth which you most dread: if we could destroy darkness, but we had to give up our Light to do so, how many of us would make that trade?

◯Turn your eyes inward, upon your ideal self.❂

youtube

No matter where you start or where you end

You are in between the Where and When

You are in the middle of The Loop

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Do you feel half empty or half full?

Is everything beautiful or dull?

Flip a circle and the middle stays the same

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Halfway

We're halfway home

Slow down

The day's boutta be gone

The sun goes

He sleeps until dawn

Slow down

The day is gone

A gardener and a winnower sit down to play a game called Possibility. This is a game about a garden, which is to say that it is also a game about flowers, just as a game about a living being must also be a game about organs and bacteria. A gardener and a winnower collaborate to create a protein. Whose hand is it in the design, that shortens one life to extend the rest? It is the winnower that discovers the first knife, but it is not done without the gardener. This, too, is a tradition: a knife does not come to exist without something that must be cut. A woody stem, a colored petal, a vital vessel. The first victims of the blade. All of these are true. All of these are false, for metaphor simplifies as the knife does. It pares incalculable concepts into shapes your wrinkly little brains can comprehend. The weight of billions and the simple curve of a planet give you pause, and how then are you to be expected to grasp the forces that created your nth-removed creator?

ACCESS: RESTRICTED

DECRYPTION KEY: 2CA9SXUO2C$IKO-006

REP#: 011-PSYCHOMETER-TEST

AGENT(S): TRU-135

SUBJ: PSYCHOMETER FIELD TESTS

1. The new version works. Love all the knobs and antenna; very analog. I took readings off a hatch control out here on Europa and Cowlick was able to retrieve badly distorted voices in some kind of distress. I don't know if it's doing exactly what you Warlocks want, but it's doing something all right. Cowlick says it's probably tapping into her scrutiny, if you permit that term in your ivory halls.

2. Now, I'm not much for gadgets, so I won't ask you how you rigged this thing. But I am one for gossip. Weren't we closing in on some kind of workable theory of exactly how our Ghosts resurrect us? One which was, if I am not mistaken, based on research by the Future War Cult? Did any of that work survive Lakshmi?

3. You know they did try to recruit me once. The Cult. Over a game of poker. Fifty-two cards in a deck don't seem like many, this hard-ass Titan told me. But there are 80 658 175 170 943 878 571 660 636 856 403 766 975 289 505 440 883 277 824 000 000 000 000 different possible shuffles of 52 cards. You could walk back and forth across the observable universe faster than you could count all those possible shuffles. A lot faster. That's life, she said, and she had daisies impaled on the spikes of her skull. Life is endless permutation. So many possibilities. But the rules are what matter. Who cares how the deck shuffles if you don't know the rules of the game? We play this game over and over. Life and death. Light and Dark. But the only way you learn the rules, the only way you're ever gonna get one of those Truces you're named for, is if you come inside. Come into the Cult. Come on in and see. But I didn't.

We don't get a choice about the rules. We just play the game.

4. Another thing she told me is that you can play poker with just three cards and two players. Jack, Queen, King. Ante one, max bet one more. High card wins unless one player folds. And in this game, there are many strategies available to the first player, but very few to the second, who acts to exploit the choice made by the first. Many possibilities against few. Sounds like you'd rather be the first player, huh? But if both players play perfectly, that second player wins in the end. Mathematical inevitability. Ain't that something? But I said, your game's just a toy. It's just a contrivance. That's not life. Life isn't one player always exploiting and beating the other.

5. Anyway, back to testing. Might go back to Cocytus and aim this thing at the gate. See how wild it goes. If you never hear from us again, you know Truce and Cowlick finally found something too spooky.

MESSAGE ENDS

If the Light forgets while the Darkness remembers, then why does a Ghost's power of determination let it access latent memories imprinted in the dead? That's paradoxical. That should be a property of Darkness. How can such fundamentally opposed forces do the same thing? Am I as shallow as those Guardians arguing over power levels? Trying to force a simple binary upon a complex spectrum… ? The Drifter talks about "spectrums of Light"—powers his Ghost can access because of its modifications. Forcing the metaphor, I thought. Light is not light. It doesn't have frequencies or spectra. But if we are all constrained by our internalized ontology, by our tacit understanding of how the world works… maybe the circumstances of extreme survival compelled the Drifter to explore a new ontology. Maybe his Ghost achieved a new way to think about the Light.

I turn

I turn my headlights on

And suddenly I can see

I learn

I learn of right and wrong

I learn to follow one

And suddenly I can breathe

I turn

I turn my headlights on

I turn them on

I'm aware of all my parts

And suddenly I see everything wrong

Then I get tunnel vision

Closing in over me

I forget, with love as my witness

I can stand on my feet

I fall back then I see

Tunnel vision

Closing in over me

I forget, with love as my witness

I can stand on my feet

I fall back then I see

Can I get, can I get out?

Can I get, can I get, oh

Can I get, can I get out?

Can I get, can I get, oh

I burn

I burn my candle out

(Can I get, can I get

Can I get, can I get out?)

So nobody else can see

I've learned

I've learned what made me start

What turned me on

Now I'm scared of all my parts

'Cause suddenly I can see everything wrong

Then I get tunnel vision

Closing in over me

I forget, with love as my witness

I can stand on my feet

I fall back then I see

▶The courage to walk into the Darkness, but strength to return to the Light.◁

Fear. That’s the only vivid memory left in me. It’s the moment when my fear was so thick and urgent that I gave up breathing. I stopped pretending to think. How I remained on my feet was a mystery, because the terror was bearing down on me, like a mountain about to crush my soul. But I have to ask, “What was terrifying me?” Darkness ruled the sky. The world around us had shattered, and it seemed vanishingly unlikely that we would outlive this one awful day. Yet the fear didn’t come from the surrounding mayhem and despair. The source was inside my skin. I was utterly terrified of my own awful nature. And which part scared me? Inside me was an essence woven from beyond. Was I Awoken before this? She was still in my head. I could hear her song growing fainter. Gone? Not yet. A new crippling terror was taking over. I was focused entirely on my fear. But I had to make an effort. And it occurred to me then that nothing in the universe was more dangerous than human hubris. I still had this Other within? But the human side was what mattered: Weak and foolhardy, sure to fail in the next moment. That’s why I was afraid. Then someone spoke. Maybe it was me. I don’t remember. I was trying to focus, and a new thought took me: My soul lay between those two entities. And that’s how I am still: The boundary, the seam. The friction. And that’s when the fear began to fade.

◮One day, you will see them both.◭

Let's make a toast to the damned

Waiting for tomorrow

When we're played out by the band

Drowning out our sorrows

What will become of us now, at the end of time?

We'll be fine, you and I

Let's draw a line in the sand

Keep it straight and narrow

We had it all in our hands

We begged and then we borrowed

What will become of us all at the end of love?

When we've stopped looking up?

You can take my heart

And hold it together as we fall apart

Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark

And keep us together as the lights go dark

Let's tell the truth, just for once

Asking for an answer

Now that it's all said and done

Nothing really matters

What will become of us all if we dare to dream?

At the end of the scene?

You can take my heart

Hold it together as we fall apart

Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark

And keep us together as the lights go dark

Let's open up to the sky

Askin' it for closure

'Least we can say that we tried

But it's never really over

What will become of us all, at the end of the line?

Will we live?

Will we die?

You can take my heart

Hold it together as we fall apart

Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark

And keep us together as the lights go dark

⍱Let the heat melt your body so your soul might flow with the river of time.⍲

Raise your voice and sing.

"The Veil." It names itself, as the Human mind named itself, with the weight and presence of sound on the lips, translated into a form that you can physically comprehend. Encompass. Envelop. A touch of teeth and tongue. A vibration of an eardrum. Air moving through a chest cavity. A taste of breath. More than that. Not nearly as much as that. That was the beginning. "Be known." This is next: you see the whorl and weft, the place where it joins itself in one smooth, unbroken surface of light. Make an incision, and from the wound of light will pour forth colors you have never seen. You are pigment, the pigment closest to those colors. "Be seen." Wet matter set against that light, the light that determines what color you are. But each color is a note, and each note is a mind. You are a choir. A chorus. You open your mouth to join it, and you are flooded with the taste of color, with the taste of sound. The sound and color that you are, translated. A means for you to understand. "Be heard." You raise your hand and hold it steady.

|| There is whispering from the deep-dark, alluring and terrifγing—a reminder of things left behind, bittersweet and abhorrent. ||

⬤Does one life across infinite realities equal immortal life?♾

We are thinkers, daring to dream about the universe and its infinite expanse.

⨀Perhaps that is all we are.☯

I see an abyss. Small and distant shapes. I'm walking in your nascent memories. Flickering motes. I sense… curiosity. You've always pondered, from the very beginning. As did we. I see tessellation. The pulsating hum of cosmic structure; a kaleidoscopic symphony of Light and Dark. What was the Veil to you? Since I woke, I've always felt like I was still dreaming. I'd like to think that's how you feel as well. Those of us that hunger for a great truth—we dream with you. —Unknown Warlock

youtube

The Other Half

If only there was a way to combine them…

Even the most perfect of pearls has grit at its center.

…it's within you too.

youtube

There's that wild, incurable curiosity.

A long time ago, there were three sisters. A Voice in the Darkness put a lie in their hearts, and they've acted on it ever since.

Just as you've been lied to.

Light and Dark. Witness and Traveler. Always doubled. Always pitted against each other in some grand game. Well, I've had enough of their games, haven't you?

Let's break their rules. Together.

Pnuvyhujl pz h wypzvu jlss. Zvtlaptlz hu lunyht pz aol rlf.

When I was a New Light, our trainers made us meditate for hours on end. Sitting in silence, focusing on a single point: a candle, a mirror, the Traveler in the distance. I thought we were focusing our Light to manipulate the physical word. But now, centuries later, I finally see what they were trying to teach us. The point is not the Light. The point is THE POINT. The singularity through which all power flows. Darkness and Light becoming one in an endless cycle, like electrons bouncing between anode and cathode. A prismatic circuit.

I find it so humorous that anti-shippers whine about pro and neutral shippers shipping age gap ships in fanon while they don't have any problems with canon ones like Wal/ter x Dal/eth from T/he Du/ke of Dea/th a/nd H/is M/aid and Kei/ya x Isa/ku from A/ Gi/rl an/d H/er Gu/ard D/og which are p*dophil*a and HUGE age gap between the can/on characters and I will fucking call those canon ships what they are. So, shut the fuck up about A/methio x L/iko, F/riede x L/iko, and S/pinel x L/iko from P/okemon H/orizons. Those ships aren't fucking c/anon for fuck's sake. I don't see ANYONE whining about a certain age gap popular ship from B/lack B/utler

#Anti Walter x Daleth #My Anti Musings #Anti Sebastian x Ciel #Anti Keiya x Isaku #Anti Canon #Yeah. I have to censor the names and the series so pros doesn't whine and you know how Tumblr is with their search

i finally picked winter back up to finish reading it and i stg every time one of the couples reunites another is separated and i am soooooo. UGH.

like i get it. lots of shit's been going on. it makes sense that kai is stuck by levana's side until the bitch actually dies, fine. (which cannot come soon enough. she just pulled the snow white maneuver on winter and i am UPSET) but wolf got taken along with cinder and i should've known something awful was happening when he wasn't there at the wedding (i know scarlet will break through his revamped brainwashing and maybe she'll get used to him being all wolfy but im still SMAD), and cress and thorne are finally together again but too much is going on for them to even talk about Feelings and iko had that meet cute with the guard who i'm hoping will show back up and help them at a key moment but it's JUST

winter and jacin haven't had a second together since he faked her death and there's not very much book left for everything to get wrapped up satisfactorily and i can't help but feel like if there were supposed to be this many relationships they should've gotten more room to breathe.

scarlet and wolf had a whole book together and cress and thorne had most of one, but cinder only got like four scenes with kai in the whole first book and winter and jacin are sharing screentime in winter's book with the whole revolution and final stages of the series endgame and it just does not feel like enough. and the whole 'this couple is together for one book but then immediately get separated in the next and wind up kept apart for long stretches of time' thing just grates on me i guess. i get it and i'm not sure how it could've been done differently with the whole plot laid out the way it was but it's still frustrating.

#the lunar chronicles #kitty reads books #and now winter has letumosis that mutated to affect lunars and i don't think true love's kiss is gonna solve this one #AUGH #and yes i'm still upset about ryu he deserved better he was such a good boy 😭😭😭#winter

Motion for Iko!

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

The key word here is: Fast!

She can also move with grace and precision, having so so SO much practice. Having learned 5 different martial arts and combined them, she's extremely adept at being exactly where she wants to be.

It's a learned thing though, as a kid she wasn't allowed outside, or really even out of the one room she was kept in, so she was clumsy and awkward for a long time, until she taught herself to move like she wanted to, in a way that would inspire those around her.

Proto-bracket Poll 10:

Descriptions:

The Pyramid (it/its, Welcome to Night Vale): no description

Iko (she/her, The Lunar Chronicles): sentient android's personality chip is inserted into the ship so for a while she basically is the ship. they still call the ship the rampion but they always ask her to do stuff rather than just key in the instructions themselves. they all use she/her for her. she complains sometimes about how she wants a nicer body (as well as complaining about seeing what everybody's doing all the time) and when she finally gets a new body she's so happy about it. idk if iko counts for this since she's only in the ship for like a book and a half and the ship is not sentient without her but I love her dearly

Sarin (she/her, Sable): She’s an AI on a series of spaceships sent to explore. Upon reaching the world you play in, these ships crash and Sarin is left alone, until years later when Sable shows up. If you find each shipwreck and learn about Sarin’a past she gives you some cool lore and rewards!

In “Cinder’s Adventure” Kai jokes about Thorne involving tigers and karaoke at his bachelor party.

What do you think actually happened at Kai’s bachelor party? Or would Thorne go to (crash?) Cinder’s bachelorette party?

Also Thorne wedding speech??👀

So I imagine Thorne plans the bucks night (bachelor party) for a week before the wedding. Since Kai can't go many places without being hounded by fans, it has to be this super elite party bar for only the richest of the rich. Thorne is making Kai pay for it, so who cares?

Thorne plans karaoke, racing games and a glorious abundance on unhealthy food. While making these selections, the owner asks if he wants the Tiger special. Thorne assumes that's a cocktail and agrees.

Flashforward to the party, the boys are having a great time. The karaoke doesn't last long because Jacin refuses to sing and Wolf is terribly off-key. But they all get super immersed in the VR racing game.

Mid-game, they hear a growling sound, assume it's a sound effect and continue playing. Then Jacin feels something furry brushing up to his arm. He yells over the roar of the engines, "Wolf, shove over, I'm trying to concentrate."

When Wolf replies that he's seated on a different couch, Jacin takes off his headset and screams.

They all take off their headsets and finally notice the living breathing tiger chilling at their feet. Thorne and Kai naturally panic and jump behind the couch, shrieking. Meanwhile the tiger senses Wolf's animal pheromones and lunges for him. Thankfully, the cat is still on a leash, and Wolf manages to wrestle him back to his wranglers, who looked surprised to see the boys panicking. They ask, "are you ready for us to bring out the rest?"

They leave very quickly after that. The girls are off having Cinder's hens night (bachelorette party) which the boys unceremoniously crash, sulking. Kai whines about Thorne trying to kill him before his wedding. Cinder gives him a sympathy hug and says, "Aww, sorry babe, that sucks. Now go away." Iko and Scarlet give them a death glare, and even mild Cress and Winter are shooing away their boyfriends. Girls night takes priority.

The boys end up holed up in a dingy pub in the city, where everyone is too drunk to recognise them but more than happy to fold them into their dancing, so they end up having a lot of fun.

As for the wedding speech, Thorne would of course give a hilarious but also heartfelt one for their wedding. In my headcanon the crew have a private reception after the reception in Cinder and Kai's new quarters. They all take turns giving speeches at various degrees of preparedness. Thorne's speech here is a lot looser and embarrassing for the newlyweds.

Psycho

In which Eris queries the Drifter regarding his recent activities and he inquires regarding her eating habits.

Link to Ao3 if you prefer to read it there

ACCESS: RESTRICTED DECRYPTION KEY: L5P2Y6BM80$IKO-006 REP#: 086-ATHENAEUM-DERELICT-AUDIO AGENT(S): AUN-326 SUBJ: VIP#1316 AND ERI-223 INTERACTIONS - PSYCHO

RECORDING 81007.1 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

“Hey there, knife edged truth, what's up?”

“Rat.”

“Ooo I'm Rat again today. I like it. I musta done something. Tell me what I done!”

“Did you visit Immaru and intimidate him?”

“I did pay that little shit a visit, yes. I was just curious. If he was intimidated by it, that's on him. I didn't say nothin'.”

“And it was not some sort of ridiculous attempt to defend my honour, correct?”

“Your honour don't need defendin’ and, if it did, the best person to be defendin’ it is you, not me. I don't do honour. That sorta shit gets you killed.”

“That's what I thought you'd say. Immaru seems to believe you threatened him.”

“Immaru believes being the ghost of the mass civilization-murdering hive god of lies is a reasonable life choice. I don't think his beliefs are ah… how would you put it…accurate reflection of reality here.”

“Hmmm…”

“Although if at some point you don't need him any more, I'd love to take him apart. Slowly. For Science, of course.”

“Hmmm yes, for Science. I doubt Ikora would permit that.”

“I ain't askin’ her.”

“She was quite concerned you found your way into where she’s been keeping him.”

“Was she? Well, it’s true I’m normally a bit more discreet about how much I come and go in Hidden spaces. Ha.”

“You may find your infiltrations more challenging in future.”

“You know me, I like a challenge.”

“Have you ever considered joining?”

“The Hidden. Me. Join the Hidden.”

“Yes. Your skillset is rather ideally suited for the work, and you and I could work together.”

“We work together now just fine.”

“It would mean we could work together more.”

“Yeah, I'll admit that would be very tempting, but joining the Hidden would mean following orders and I just… I can't… you know I can't. What's that you said before? I have uh… issues with authority.”

“Hmmm… You certainly do.”

“So do you. It's one of the many reasons I like you so damn much.”

“Sometimes I do, yes.”

“I help you, though. And if that's Hidden work then I guess I'm already doing it. And if Ikora asks you to do something, and you ask me to come along, well then what’s the difference, really?”

“I suppose that is one way of looking at it. I shall let Ikora know of your willingness to help without helping.”

“I mean I did already tell ol’ Rayray myself that if she needed anything to help you, to ask me and it'll get done. I think I made it clear to her whose side I'm on.”

“Of course, the same side you’re always on: your own.”

“Yours, actually.”

“I did not expect you to say that to her. To me, yes, but you’ve always told everyone you don't pick sides.”

“Didn't really pick this one. More like fell. Hard. But you knew that.”

“Yes.”

“Also made it clear whose side I expect her to be on, too. I might’a pissed her off a bit, but I don’t think anyone needs to worry about that. She’s solid and she’s got your back. That’s what counts.”

“She is a dear, dear friend.”

“I know. So… not that you need a reason, but is that all you’re calling about, Moondust? Immaru crying like a little bitch ‘cuz mean old Drifter went and stared at him for a few minutes?”

“Like ‘a psycho,’ apparently.”

“Ha! That’s rich, coming from him.”

“I have grown accustomed to being able to consult with you and collaborate with you much more often than we are doing now. I functioned alone for so long and have found your presence obnoxious, frustrating, and profoundly irritating for most of the time we’ve worked together. And yet, now that you’re there, and I am here, and there is not the time nor the capacity for such ventures, there is no irritation in my memory, only fondness sharpened by absence.”

“You just said a lot of words there, but what I heard was that you miss me.”

“Yes. I miss you, but I also find myself smiling at the fact that I do.”

“Ain't that a mood.”

“It is indeed… a mood. “

“Say, when was the last time you ate an actual meal, bane of the swarm? Not like unwrapping rations and gobbling them to keep going, but real food?”

“I think it was what you made for me, but there hasn’t been time to…”

“Dammit, Moondust, that was over a week ago. What’s Ikora doing not makin you eat?”

“Ikora has been a pillar of strength for me.”

“I’m glad for that. Hand on my heart, I am. But I wish she was also a pillar of food. I’m bringing you dinner.”

“I don’t know that I’ll have time to eat it.”

“Then I’ll just have to make you something that’ll still be good after it gets cold.”

“I don’t know that I’ll be here when you arrive. There’s not time to…”

“So what? You’ll still get dinner. And I’ll get to know everyone’s favourite hive god has had a decent meal. Admit it, you’re already looking forward to this.”

“I… yes. I am. Thank you.”

[END TRANSCRIPT]

This is one of a series of stories written during Season of the Witch that I called Kept Conficence, after the hand cannon with the lore that helped to inspire them.

Here is a link to all of them in order if you wish.
