(Ooc: been meaning to do this just didn't know how to approach it lol)
The two are sitting down at a small table, having their usual tea time. The two of them also seem to be discussing something, not really hearing or acknowledging Follower Sword's arrival.

"The audacity you have... taking after that insignificant serpent I see, useless as expected."
She huffs, ruffling her feathers. The tension was real.
"You insolent swine... what was that for?! Why did you throw a filthy orange at me?!! What have I ever done to you to deserve being treated so lowly..."
-@salvation-brought [ILLUMINA]
"everything if you count living."
He chuckles, feathers fluffing. He may not be Darkheart but Venomshank had a mischievous side as well.

Tumblr media
honestly the way this event is written has me convinced that like, some internal meeting must have happened behind the scenes to make reinhardt one of the unofficial heroines of the game
it's just about the sheer rage of it all
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this event shows us more backstory on it but honestly as long as we've had reinhardt she's always been not just idealistic, but angry
no one knows better than her how close the aurorians are to losing the war against the eclipse. time and time again she's been faced with the deaths of everyone she cares about, the genuine sacrifices that come from a war hinging on which side evolves faster, and she just hates the sheer unfairness of it all
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
reinhardt as she is now is long past being the hot headed soldier who thought she could singlehandedly change the system from the inside, she's weathered and bitter and smoldering and overall just tired of it all
Tumblr media
this girl died. she fought and struggled so hard to be the change she wanted to see, put up with everything uncritically because she believed that if she toughed it out, things would work out
but they didn't. all her friends died and she was left as a weapon
Tumblr media
but even then, she's still angry. Illumina went so far as to literally split reinhardt's rage, her will to survive, from her mind and yet she's still here.
despite all that, even though she wishes she can die she HAS to live, she can Only live because she is more than just a savior and a martyr, shes the only one willing to uphold an ideal of impartial fairness and justice in a world that demands sacrifice. she's freely admitted to being a terrible person in the past that even when directly facing her younger idealistic self she flat out tells her that she would be disappointed, because reinhardt has had to make compromises to her morals and ideals for the sake of survival
renegade and reinhardt are very distinct, both of them admit as much because what else would you say about snapshots of a person in radically different parts of their life, but even so there's no bitterness between them because renegade existed to keep reinhardt the person alive. she was that rage which illumina attempted to excise but simply couldn't because reinhardt at her core can't help but be herself and fight for what she believes in. despite being the top soldier of her unit she constantly disobeyed her superiors and even planned a coup just to do what she believed was best, and no matter how much they tried to break her, she simply didn't. she's suffered unimaginably yet believes her suffering isn't unique, that everyone fighting to survive suffers just like her and that so long as she remembers that, she won't ever give up.
Tumblr media
and now, she will. and she isn't going to let anyone stop her. illumina wanted a perfect soldier and instead created a sword that will rend them asunder

Illumina quickly unsheathes her sword, it's blade humming with some sort of ancient magic, the symbols engraved on it glowing a deep purple. Her wing is spread out, her long hair flowing behind he as if there was wind.
"False? You dare to question my status?" She stands her ground, seething. How dare anyone question her? "You do not know me."
"I have been chosen by the stars, & you have not." She points the end of her blade at him, her face darkening.
[She came.]
"You think you can go on using my name however you please?"
"Since you want to speak with me oh so badly...I decided to take pity on you & show up myself."
It's Illumina. It's actually her. & she doesn't look all that pleased, looming behind Sayf.
She has her gear in it's sheath on her belt, just in case, but she doesn't want a fight. Yet.
"Surely we can be civilized & talk about this, can we?"
-@divine-a-gift-from-above
*But, what Illumina encountered was NOT sayf... no, it was a being of shards of glass and fractals and a blindingly colorful and bright light. the figure laughed*
"FALSE PROPHET, YOU DARE ENTER MY DOMAIN UNINVITED?"
*His voice sounded echoy and smooth, with a demonic deepness and insanity to it that sent a chill down her spine...*

She was not happy.
"I should've just picked my sword back up..." she huffed through gritted teeth. Ghostwalker was patching her up, bandaging some of the wounds on her back.
Her wing was already tended to, ointment & other medicines already rubbed on the wounds, there were bare spots where feathers had been torn out.
Her body was already full of scars, & it looked like she would be getting some new ones.
Ghostwalker gently took one of her arms, inspecting the several- bite wounds? They looked strange.
"Since when were his teeth sharp?" He raised a brow.
"I don't know, & I don't really care," she scoffed. "He's changed alot. Not just the teeth part- his fingers are gross & webbed too."
Ghostwalker nodded in response, taking some ointment from his medical kit & rubbing it on the wounds. He worked quickly.
He finished rather quickly, wiping the remainders of any medicine off his gloves- discarding of it. He then began packing up his bag of medicines, it was a leather satchel full of- strange looking supplies.
Illumina got up from the stool she was sitting on with a grunt, grabbing her robes that she had taken off & put on the table next to the stool.

She scans him up & down. They looked so very different, she couldn't help but think to herself how she was prettier. She was vain, full of herself.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to meet you," she hums, observing their surroundings. She was thinking about how much better her temple was, but she didn't say anything. "I'm curious about my alters after all, I hope you do not mind."
Someone is here.
"Hello there, greetings & salutations."
A version of Illumina. She's elegant, & absolutely beautiful. She bows her head slightly as she greets her alter, her one remaining wing gently folded behind her back.
-@salvation-brought [ILLUMINA]
-> The man was knelt in front of a beautifully decorated alter, his head lifting slightly as he silences himself. He was in the middle prayers before this other version of himself appeared. -> He stood up, turning to the female alternate version of himself with a soft hum. "Greetings. What brings you to the church?"

Mcu was incredibly funny on Illumina's pov, Ranboo was also funny but in a loud way. Something happened to Ant but a certain ender child was screaming about "Our lord and savior Tubbo!" So I didn't know what happened. -AV

probably coincidence but man are there a few
so Warframe and the Aurora Cycle series by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman. specifically, about the fact that i’ve been listening to Aurora Cycle bc audiobooks keep my adhd brain somewhat settled and dude are there so many similarities like if you were to tell me that the authors were both huge wf players i would completely believe it alright like. okay
a list of things about the aurora cycle that give me warframe vibes, in no particular order (beware spoilers like in general im just spoiling everything)”
- Knock-off Void (or “Fold,” in this case). Used to make travel exponentially faster but it is Very Hazardous! 
- So hazardous, in fact, that only children/teenagers can be conscious while in the Fold and still retain their sanity. Adults, after a while, will start to go Insane(tm)
- Local Teen Develops Mysterious Powers After Being Involved in a Void Jump Accident That Leaves Settlement Ship She’s On a Hulking Derelict Floating In the Black
- said powers are Too Much at first and need to learn to be controlled and Also Later Involve Empathy
- knockoff infestation but this one is plant-based!! an ancient plant hive mind monster thing that is settled mostly on outer rim planets but seeks to Consume All and also it can possess ppl but leave them w the appearance of normality a la Emissary arc (if i remember right from what i read on the wiki)
- local elf/klingon hybrid struggles with bloodlusty tendencies, what he refers to as “the war within” as opposed to the “war without” the ensemble is dealing with in-plot
- much of the plot helped along by the Ancient Race of Golden Lords that Came Before
- said Golden Lords of Bygone Days essentially created/activated Local Protagonist Teen as a Weapon/Savior (subversion here though in that these orokin aren’t nearly as jerkish as the orokin were)
- the main protag was supposed to settle on a planet called Octavia okay thats it thats the sole basis for me going conspiracy brain on this ALRIGHT THATS IT
- jk i know there are more but thats what i got off the top of my head pfft
it’s probably just me, too! but you know what, half of my enjoyment of the series comes from going ‘ah thats just warframe’ every 10 minutes re: the worldbuilding like it’s become a game at this point
also Aurora Cycle isn’t terrible, but, and i say this with love, i’d say if you want a better time, probably check out their Illuminae series instead or actually just play warframe bc it’s got so many similar veins anyway (and anyway warframe has the business and u got to love that dude)

What my Tumblr means
Thank you for tagging me my darlings @starshinekiszka, @beautifulcinephile <3
Header: On desktop, it’s an image of a lake in the mountains, but on mobile is a GIF made by @pomegranatecurses, with Jake playing behind his head and a writing saying “Always there”
Icon: Jake Kiszka, our savior from the dullness of pop music on the radio (Sam being anti-pop music intensifies)
My content: GVF mainly, fanfiction featuring them, classic rock in general, nature, personal thoughts and rants, movies, it’s a little bit of everything lol
Background color: On desktop it’s white, on mobile it’s light blue
Letter color: black
URL: It’s part from the lyrics of “Talk Tonight” by Oasis. It’s one of my all time favorite songs. So simple, yet so melancholic, speaking of the love that bloomed between Noel Gallagher and this girl that let him live with her for a while when he abandoned the Oasis US tour. The whole thing goes something like this:  “All your dreams are made/ Of strawberry lemonade/ And you make sure I eat today/ You take me walking/ To where you played when you were young.”
Blog title: “Am I not merciful?” is a line from one of my favorite books, The Illuminae Files part 1. I chose this to be the title because I got quite a lot of comments telling me that “I am butchering their hearts” with the angsty fics so I thought it would be fitting lol
I’m tagging @flowrxchild, @myownparadise96, @karrotkate, @pomegranatecurses, @satans-helper, @beautifulcinephile. Don’t feel pressured to do it unless you want to :)

She looks around for a moment, walking closer to her other self. Her hair flows elegantly & gently behind her.
"It is just the two of us, correct?" She's a bit hesitant. She doesn't wanna be actively malicious around certain people, no no, that would give her away.
"Hm, another one? There were so few...now there are so many."
"Nonetheless, greetings & salutations."
-@divine-a-gift-from-above
Hm? Oh!
Greetings and salutations to you as well, other me!
*She has a rather excited smile on her face.*
I’ve heard quite the rumors about you… and I must say, if any of them are true, then I am extremely impressed.

Time to Change the World
Tumblr media
Here I am with the final part of this month’s themed week in “Lyrical Love”! Today’s subject is a song by the musical project Wing Works, precisely Vad†Man, lead-track of the first single Vad†Man, sorry this is “Machination”, come out on 26th June 2013. This song can be defined the most important one in Wing Works’ discography, as it encloses the features of his sound, electronic and engaging and deals with the true meaning of Ryo:suke’s work in this project.
THE MUSIC
An energetic and rhythmical melody opens this song, featuring electronic notes and an adrenalinic theme; Ryo:suke’s voice is mixed, alternating screamo parts with auto-tune and clear tones, keeping up an engaging and technically compelling, with a good guitar work, dynamic rhythm and a funny dance part in the middle, giving to the song a touch of unpredictability.
Lyrics (Romaji)
NĒ KIZUITE KURE SEKAI NO SYSTEM ARATA NA RENAISSANCE OWARU MAE NI.
NEW WORLD ORDER IS IN THE TV SHOW. “SHINSEI WA TŌSEI NO MONSHŌ” CHIKAZUKANAI DE.... NEW WORLD ORDER IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION. “SHINSEI WA TOKKEN NO KŌMYŌ” KOROSANAI DE...! “KAMI YO, CHARISMA TO WA NOZOMARENU MESSIAH?” BOKU NI MEBAETA IMBŌRON. HISOKA NI SHIKAKETAI KIMI TO NO DARK MATTER “SEKAI O IMA, KAETE YUKŌ” OH, VAD+MAN. OH, VAD+MAN. BOKURA ITSUKA TSUBASA MOTSU SHITO NI NARERU. OH, VAD+MAN. DAKARA ABAKE SUBETE NO UTOPIA. MADA KIZUKENAI NO? SEKAI NO SYSTEM TSUKANDA RENAISSANCE KOWASARESŌ. NEW WORLD ORDER IS IN THE TV SHOW. “SHINSEI WA TŌSEI NO MONSHŌ” KOROSANAI DE...! “KAMI YO, KONO JIDAI WA HIGEKI NO CLONE NA NO KA?” CHIPPOKE DE MO II TEIŌGAKU [SUNG] EGAKITSUZUKETA TEIŌGAKU. SUBETE GA SHIKUMARETA AKUI NO UZU NO NAKA “SEKAI O IMA, KAETE YUKŌ”
AH... MAKE A NEW WORLD IKUDO KURIKAESU SEKAISEN DE MO
MAKE A NEW WORLD BOKU WA NANDO DE MO YARINAOSERU SA IBARA MICHI FUMISHIME OH, VAD+MAN. OH, VAD+MAN. BOKURA ITSUKA TSUBASA MOTSU SHITO NI NARERU. OH, VAD+MAN. DAKARA OWARE, SUBETE NO UTOPIA. SĀ, SHIKAKEYŌ.
Lyrics (Translation)
Hey, be aware of the world’s system Before the end of the new renaissance.
New world order is in TV show “Rebirth = emblem of control” Don’t come closer...
New world order is in your imagination. “Rebirth = privilege of who is ingenious” Don’t kill me...! (I)
“God, charismatic pioneer, unwanted savior, a messiah?” A conspiracy theory which I grow up with.
I want to start secretly with you and the dark matter “Now let’s change the world” (II)
Oh Vad†Man. Oh Vad†Man. One day we will become apostles with wings.
Oh Vad†Man. Therefore Let’s unveil the whole utopia. (III)
Do you still not care? World’s system The grabbed renaissance is destroyed.
New world order is in TV show “Rebirth = emblem of control” Don’t kill me...! (IV)
“God, is this era a clone of a tragedy?” The little things for a good monarch An imagined monarch.
Everything has been structured in the whirpool of malice “Now let’s change the world”
Ah...
Make a new world Even in a world line repeated many times.
Make a new world I can do it again and again.
I tread in the thorny path.
Oh Vad†Man. Oh Vad†Man. One day we will become apostles with wings.
Oh Vad†Man. Therefore The whole utopia has ended.
Come on, let’s begin. (V)
THE WORDS
Written by Ryo:suke, the song has a quite compelling layout in its own, mixing short slang lines with longer and more reflective ones, but in general the meaning is quite clear. Before talking about the song in specific, it’s needed to make a little premise of the single where it has been released. The debut single is focused on Vad†Man, a character created by Ryo:suke, already featured in Silver, the lead of the first album, and which would have appeared in Fushichou -Fennix-, the lead of the second single. This fictitious character is a symbol of change and revolution, as brought out in each track of this single; the title-track deals with the desire of changing the world, despite the consequences coming from that, as we will get to see later, while the other tracks, The Light of Exodus, Illumina✡Luminalion and I’ll die, but my CREATION never die, deal respectively with the research of a promised land, resistance or submission and the eternity of art and all of these songs, the lead in particular, have a great use of spiritual symbolism, linked to deeper images than expected. And now... let’s analyze the song!
I) The text starts with the protagonist which invites the reader to be aware of the current world system, before the new renaissance ends (NĒ KIZUITE KURE SEKAI NO SYSTEM/ARATA NA RENAISSANCE OWARU MAE NI), bringing to the new world order, based on a TV show, where the rebirth is synonym of control and oppression, which he doesn’t want to approach his life (NEW WORLD ORDER IS IN THE TV SHOW. /“SHINSEI WA TŌSEI NO MONSHŌ”/CHIKAZUKANAI DE...., referencing to the power of mass media in people’s lives); but the true world order comes from the imagination, where the rebirth can be seen and understood only by ingegnous minds and finally the protagonist asks to his mate to not kill him, as they have to do something together (NEW WORLD ORDER IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION./“SHINSEI WA TOKKEN NO KŌMYŌ”/KOROSANAI DE...!)
II) The protagonist has grown with the false image of a god described as a charismatic pioneer, an unwanted savior and a simple messiah, trivializing the figure of prophet (“KAMI YO, CHARISMA TO WA NOZOMARENU MESSIAH?”/BOKU NI MEBAETA IMBŌRON.), but meanwhile he wants to start secretly his mission change, along with his mate and with the dark matter forming the universe around them (HISOKA NI SHIKAKETAI KIMI TO NO DARK MATTER/“SEKAI O IMA, KAETE YUKŌ”).
III) The refrain sees the protagonist, Vad†Man, says that one day they will become apostles with wings, for bringing their revelation of utopia to the whole world (OH, VAD+MAN. OH, VAD+MAN./BOKURA ITSUKA TSUBASA MOTSU SHITO NI NARERU./OH, VAD+MAN. DAKARA/ABAKE SUBETE NO UTOPIA.).
IV) The protagonist sees that his mate doesn’t care at all about the current world system, which has brought the renaissance, so much grabbed, to be destroyed (MADA KIZUKENAI NO? SEKAI NO SYSTEM/TSUKANDA RENAISSANCE KOWASARESŌ); after repeating the second part of the first sequence, the protagonist asks to God if this era he is living is a clone of a tragedy, showing him that there are little things so that a monarch rules well, but it is only in the imagination (“KAMI YO, KONO JIDAI WA HIGEKI NO CLONE NA NO KA?”/CHIPPOKE DE MO II TEIŌGAKU/EGAKITSUZUKETA TEIŌGAKU.); then he realizes that the whole world is structured in a whirlpool of malice and that’s another reason why a change is needed (SUBETE GA SHIKUMARETA AKUI NO UZU NO NAKA).
V) So he and his mate want to make a new world, even if many world lines are repeated, even if he has to do that again and again, as he is walking in a thorny path (MAKE A NEW WORLD/IKUDO KURIKAESU SEKAISEN DE MO/MAKE A NEW WORLD/BOKU WA NANDO DE MO YARINAOSERU SA/IBARA MICHI FUMISHIME, the latter line is a reference to the Passion of Christ) and after the repetition of the refrain, the protagonist realizes that their utopia has ended and that now they have to act for changing the world (OWARE, SUBETE NO UTOPIA/SĀ, SHIKAKEYŌ).
In a world made of symbols, oppression and deception, what is the solution for making things better if not the change? Wing Works points out this statement in his most representative work, energetic, rebellious and unpredictable as few, confirming his need to break the schemes, whenever is needed.
That’s all folks! See you tomorrow for a new review in “Let’s Listen to”!
Thanks for the reading!
*Sorry for the delay*

3 Fandoms Tag Game
I was tagged by @flamingmirrorbookish AND @storytime-writings !!! Thank you! (sorry it took so long)
Rules: Choose any three fandoms and answer the questions, then tag people you want to know better.
The three chosen fandoms:
The Illuminae Files
Once Upon A Time
Six of Crows (of course)
The first character you loved:
Kat Grant- she goes through SO MUCH, but she still kicks ass and saves an entire planet by herself (okay, yes, AIDAN was there too, but you get the point)
Emma Swan- I MISS HER. I don’t know why people, unfairly, hate her and say she lost her badassery after season 1. Because she decided to fall in love? Because she decided to let herself be happy with her son and family that she searched for forever? And she did all of this while carrying the weight of being the Savior? HOW DARE SHE. 
Kaz Brekker- I love Inej more, but Kaz was the first character i loved because he’s such a butt sometimes. He tries to be Dark™️ and Brooding™️, but really he’s just a teenager in love with a girl who turns him into an idiot whenever she's around and that’s just amazing, tbh. 
The character you never expected to love so much:
Syra Boll- I didn’t realize how much she’d grown on me until THAT happened in Obsidio and I was feeling all the emotions at once.
Regina Mills- I absolutely despised her character all through season one and most of season 2, even when I do rewatches I get angry all over again. She became one of my favorites eventually though, once she realized her wrongs, and became closer with Snow. She has one of the best character developments ever, imo.
Colm Fahey- Jesper’s dad is the parent these kids deserve!!!
The character you relate to the most:
Ella Malikov- I’m not even half as smart as she is, but i’m probably just as sassy and sarcastic.
Emma Swan- The feeling of not really belonging anywhere is a feeling all too familiar with me. 
Wylan Van Eck- We are both incredibly awkward in the romance department.
Character you’d slap:
Travis Falk- Took too long to get what he deserved, tbh.
Peter Pan- The Worst™
Jan Van Eck- And the award for Worst Dad of the Century goes to...
Three favorite characters:
Hanna Donnelly, Nik Malikov, Kady Grant
Emma Swan, Killian Jones, Regina Mills
Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker, Nina Zenik
Character you liked at first, but don’t like anymore:
Byron Zhang- I knew it was coming, but that doesn’t mean I liked it one bit.
Rumplestiltskin- He was such a good villain for the first few seasons, but even when they had a new Big Bad, they kept using him as a scapegoat and it just felt like a tired plot. And the back and forth between him and Belle was just exhausting. 
It’s pretty clear who the good and bad guys are in this book, so it was easy to know who to like.
The characters you didn’t like at first, but do now:
AIDAN- How dare this series get me to care about a morally grey artificial intelligence system.
Zelena- I actually enjoyed her character the entire time, but she really frustrated me at first. I’ve made my peace with it, though.
Kuwei Yui-Bo- Okay, yes, i’m one of those people who didn’t like him simply because he came between Wylan and Jesper, but I've since learned the error of my ways.
Three OTPs:
Nik Malikov/Hanna Donnelly
Captain Swan 4EVER
Kanej
I know this has been making the rounds for awhile, so i’m not sure who has or hasn’t done it, but i’ll tag the most recent people in my notifications, @cicatricks, @agirlisabookworm, @readinlikecrazy, and anyone else who would like to do this!

bro reinhardts interlude really fucking me up. just like. ok so the story involved more or less actually learning what reinhardts Deal was and why she's important and we learn that the status of grand marshall within illumina is a symbol with a face attatched quite literally described as "if the sky loses its light and falls to earth then the grand marshall is meant to hold the sky up and shine for the world" and in decidng a grand marshall not only is there a rigorous bttle royale style test where all candidates compete until one is literally left standing among the corpses but afterwards its implied that they then undergo experimental augmentation in order to become the perfect supersoldier NOT ONLY THAT but we learn that reinhardt ended up having to abandon her two closest friends to their deaths because two soldiers were not worth the countless losses it would take to do so which is why shes so intent on settling matters with denier/forsakin on her own because she feels its her responsibility not as a soldier but in honor of their once friendship. BUT. its later revealed that the mission where this happened is highly implied to have BEEN the trial for the position of grand marshall so the ruling committee for illumina consigned hundreds of their best soldiers to their deaths in order to make one perfect leader to market as their savior and. Reinhardt knows all this far after the fact and is just like "well thats life" but even then she believes that it doesnt really matter if there is a new grand marshall or not because above all she genuinely believes the ruling committee of illumina severely underestimates the drive of people to survive so even if she dies or loses her title shes fine with it because it doesn't matter who is the symbol for the future just as long as there is someone to be a hero to the people, and there always WILL be a hero who rises no matter the odds
