hellooooo i am @boiolayficrec lol i already commented on the reblog, but babe I'm here all for the coments on your masterpiece. I've thought of many possible future events, but I have the memory of a goldfish so I dont remember them all, but last chapter made me think that MAYBE eddie and yn met in the past and (i might be very delulu BUT) the letter that she read was for her, but I thought "uhm but how doesnt ahe remember him" and then my conclusion was: the hit her head and had amnesia or they were very young, but after today's chapter I think that the "him" Steve says it's Jason Carver who was Eddie's collegue at the royal navy or smth like that (they worked for the rich as soldiers idk the oficial terms lol) and that also "stole" Chrissy, who had some romantic envolvment with Eddie and WHO HE WROTE THE LETTER TO AAAA

This takes place about 5-ish years after their initial battle so he's just well enough to walk on his own. Narinder sustained pretty severe injuries that took years to even begin mending and in that time they both discovered that he really enjoys being fully in water. Warm baths are a favourite activity of his and, in summer, swimming! It used to be only at the large lake near the cult bc thats how far Lambert was willing to risk taking him.
Swimming is good for him bc it's an activity he can do a lot of (relatively) without his whole body hurting and a way to build some muscle back. He only goes at night so he doesn't get ill from the intense summer heat.
Also his hut has many shells decorating it and Mere (incoming bat cult oc that became his friend on accident) has received some as well! He's still looking for a Pretty Shell tm for lamb, but they are just happy that he has a friend.
If I described Ivan's situation with his 'family' to a stranger, leaving out the fact that he's human I bet they would think he was the family dog or something 😭
I'll tell you a story. I get to work early in the morning, so when I come in—Yesterday morning we had this big back of six TVs, and one of them has a network on it... and the banner is: If the Florida Panthers lose, is this the Biggest Collapse in Sports History? That damn thing is sitting on the TV and you know, you're waiting for—to roll it, people, let's move it! Fifteen minutes!...So I'm waiting by the door for my video guy to come in and say—...We have these banks, it's a new rink, right? All over it—"Get that network off our TV!" 'Cuz I'm sitting there going, "I don't like it!" and I'm 57! Well, what happens if you're 25? And you're going, "I gotta live 50 more years of being a part of the 'Biggest Collaspe in Sports History'..." So from the loss to the drop of the puck, something has to change, something has to get better, and that would be where I think, I worked. Once the puck's dropped then I was done working. And I liked our first [period] so that was good. That was good, I was at peace with it. I wanted to win, and—but we weren't scrambling around in the first [period] trying to find our game.
paul and his way with his words aka he felt exactly the same way i felt with the leadup to game 7 and how media reacted to it like yeah i was very upset at some point i just started sighing like eeyore till someone put me out of my misery

--
Hisoka's eyes are staring at something.
It is a sliced baguette resting in a basket, cradled in white cloth.
His stare is intense.
In his memories, he can see a woman’s hand gripping onto a loaf of bread desperately.
He remembers being hungry, but knowing that not a bit of that bread would be for him.
Hisoka is sitting at a table with Illumi in a very expensive restaurant.
The restaurant is at the top level of a skyscraper, and has a sweeping city view.
Illumi is talking about nothing in particular, and hasn’t noticed Hisoka’s lack of engagement.
Hisoka realizes that he zoned out, lost in a very old memory.
It is such a disgusting feeling to him.
“Illumi.”
Illumi pops another bite of his dinner into his mouth.
“Hm?”
“...♠”
Hisoka glances at the bread again before looking back to his date.
“How much are you worth to your parents, do you think?”
Illumi tilts his head at the odd question, but gives it some genuine thought.
He rests a knuckle to his chin while he chews.
After a moment of contemplating, he finally answers.
“I can’t give any exact amount, but by quick estimate, my services to the family can range from anywhere to the hundreds of billions to tens of trillions of jenny annually.”
Despite his curtled mood, Hisoka’s nose still crinkles to crush a smile off his lips.
Illumi was always so literate.
“That’s not exactly what I meant. ♠”
“I mean…”
“When you were born, what was your value to your parents? ♣”
“How much would someone have had to offer in exchange for you?”
Illumi is confused by the string of questions, but is intrigued nonetheless.
“What reason would they have to sell their child?”
Hisoka can feel his chest chill, as if icy tar is dripping inside him.
“What if your mother was hungry? If she had no money?”
“You don’t think under dire circumstances, that she would trade you for a fortune?”
“Hmm…”
“My mother?”
Illumi thinks specifically about her.
“No. I don’t believe that she would need to in order to afford food or anything else.”
“Why’s that? ♠”
“Well…”
“She is an assassin too, of course.”
“If in a situation where she had no assets or resources, and I was an infant, she would easily be able to work a job in order to afford what she needed.”
“Ah, I see.”
Hisoka takes a sip from his drink.
He can see her dirty nails clutching the small stack of jenny tight with joy.
There is a feeling on his arm; the tight grip of someone’s hand, much larger than his.
Tugging him. Tugging him away from her.
There was so much distress, trying to free himself and return to her.
Did she even look up at him again after they gave her the money?
“So, your mother would rather murder someone else than lose her child?”
“Of course.”
Illumi answers like it is so trivial.
Hisoka should have expected that of someone with an assassin’s mindset, but still…
“...”
He takes another drink, then picks up a slice of the baguette to butter.
He casually takes a bite and drops the memory back into the well it came from.
“You have a good mother. ♠”
Illumi smiles slightly at the comment.
“Yes.”
Illumi continues to talk, this time about random insights regarding his family.
(“My mother worked as an assassin even before she met my father. She is just as skilled as he is, but prefers to watch over my younger brothers now…”)
