@drippingheart has requested a story : A letter finds itself in Verona's possession — Delivered by hand from a small, rodent-looking curse which disappeared into a cloud of smoke upon completion of the task. Crisp white of envelope and letter and elegant, black strokes of beautiful calligraphy. The contents of the letter — ❛ In the case of Getou Suguru's death. Succeed where I have failed, but most of all protect them. Protect my daughters, and keep all of my family away from the clutches of the sorcerers and their elders. I beg of you. Thank you. Thank you for everything. ❜
𝑼𝒏𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅.
Change of seasons does the soul good ( lo’ the months-long reign of winter fades & so too does its somber chill gnawing away upon the human spirit ; a revival thereafter ensues & we are free , reborn , free — ) . And Verona herself , however remarkably r e c l u s i v e in part of her exile , does tend to wander off beyond her carefully unkept boundaries / borders to preen within a world come ALIVE AGAIN in the spirit of Spring ( the wicked , too , crave for simple solace , so give her this much , allow her a moment detached from self-made ruin ) . There is no better space to bask than the park nearby own estate – a quiet place , to be sure – seated upon a bench aligned next to a pond and trail , book in hand ( & what else might this mad woman read but the existentialist philosophy ? ) .
Verona senses the curse – a prickling , almost , like an internal ward being tripped and resounding through her entirety – before she deigns to acknowledge it. Though her companion ( a chimeric beast , summoned of own sorrow , festering in own contempt ) rouses long before she does. His horned head l o o m i n g out of her shadow , crooked maw splitting in a show of teeth as he drags himself from her presence , trying to CONSUME the interloper only to have the rodent bound onto his snout and s p r i n g expertly off of it , landing gracefully beside the woman upon the bench , u n h a r m e d . Pandora gripes and growls , but does no more than sulk , receding back into Verona’s darkness , his eyes following the interaction from below with a WARY SCRUTINY .
It offers Verona an envelope and no sooner has it completed the task , then it disappears. Verona blinks a few times , rightly perplexed. She exchanges a look with Pandora before setting her book aside and opening the letter , reading the fine calligraphy printed therein. Gilt brows knit together. For good measure , she reads the words a s e c o n d time before the letter is lowered to her lap and she gazes off in quiet contemplation. Pandora rises , curling and coiling around her form , large head propping atop hers. He grumbles – a concerned question spoken only she can perceive – and Verona l a u g h s , shaking her head.
❝ Oh , it’s nothing , ❞ She lies smoothly , ❝ But it does seem as if it will take us a little longer to go home. ❞ Pandora grunt-warbles , his spectral , ever-chaning body stretching , slinking around her shoulder to peer into her face , eyes narrowed and confused , large ears perked upright. Verona smiles , lifting a hand to lightly stroke his cheek , a gesture that seems to soothe the beast ( if only marginally ) . ❝ No , we simply … Have a new FAMILY now. I believe we owe it to them – to h i m , especially – to keep this promise. ❞ The one in the letter , she means ; keep them SAFE , ensure his will is FULFILLED ( she does not know what possessed suguru to grant her such a duty , but there is something to the gesture that fills her with an unfamiliar conviction & comfort ) . But ... WHY HER ?
Clawed thumb smooths over the letter in her lap as she considers the prospect. The thought rises - you're welcome , but I should be thanking you , Suguru - then drifts away just as easily.
❝ And besides , this is about more than loyalty , hm ? ❞ Pandora growls , a disapproving noise , his head shaking back and forth rapidly , tossing off a mess of smoke. Verona grins at him , grabbing his head , holding it still as she cradles it to her breast like a mother might a petulant child , ❝ Hush , now , I did not say LOVE ! Though a family does involve love. You ought to try it sometime , it would do you some good. ❞
#❧ ⸺ how can ( queue ) say there is no story here ? ❞#❧ ⸺ ch. verona | answered ❞#❧ ⸺ ch. verona | verse ix: jjk ❞#drippingheart#hm hm hm#is she talking abt dying in this--#i'll never tell#but i just#her interactions with her companion are so silly#like can you imagine people just 🤨 'oh good the weird-ass woman is doin weird-ass shit again'#'who is she talking to???'

CW for suicide; talking about Lae’zels ascension ending.
Going kind of crazy about Lae’zel and how she views her own mortality. Lae’zels ascension has gotta be my favorite origin character ending. I know Gale is the suicidally depressed guy we all know and love, but the way Lae’zel idealizes her own death makes me fucking insane.
Edited slightly for brevity, but dialogue with withers after her ascension:
From the beginning of the game she tells you it’s her dream to die for her queen, and she accomplishes her dream. Because she can achieve anything she sets out to accomplish. I’m gonna be sick
#cw: suicide#Lae’zel#baldur's gate 3#bg3#rambles#LIKE ITS INSANE THEY SHOW U THAT SCENE W VLAAKITH#AND THEN EVEN MORE CRAZY THEY LET U TALK TO WITHERS ABT IT#AND HIS ANSWER IS BASICALLY: Oh dw it’s okay! she wanted to die :)#she was happy dying :)#like what the fUCKKKK

mirabelle’s pressure to conform to and over exert herself on every single aspect of the change belief extending not just to being aroace, but in how she takes all different kinds of classes at the house… but isnt good at that much of it, because shes not doing it because she wants to, shes doing it because she thinks she HAS to. augh :(
#thinking abt her little dying plant that exists out of obligation and her guilt for not being able to take care of it#echoed voice#isat spoilers#you see it in the classroom interaction too where she tries to talk abt how the classes didnt actually help her and shes met with judgment#iirc anyways

(OG post has Reblogs turned off. You can find it here!)
(OG post has Reblogs turned off. You can find it here!)
(If the OP would prefer this post not link back to the OG post or is otherwise is not okay w/ this post in reference to theirs, please let me know in some form so I can delete/edit it as needed.)
Thinking. Abt this but with Bones. Like. Post-Tholian Web? Post-Mirror Mirror?
For AOS, could be after Into Darkness and/or Beyond.
A Bones who's just. So anxious. So stressed. So overwhelmed that it starts taking a toll on his health. Maybe he doesn't even realise - or maybe he does and tries his best to push through it until it knocks him on his ass. Kind of in the vein of "You don't actually know how tired you are until you stop. And then you just physically cannot start again." It becomes his new baseline, a problem that just brews and storms in the distance.
And he just carries on. And keeps going and going and going until one day he realises that 'Oh fuck, I'm not okay' and has about 5 seconds of warning before he straight up collapses, doesn't matter if it's on the bridge, in the madbay, on a planet - he's going down. (Maybe a repeat of Tholian Web where he just straight up faints into Spock's arms? Full whammy, why not)
Maybe it's a high-tension situation getting resolved that does it. The pure relief of it reminds him of how tired he is. How tired he's been for a while. His body sees that momentary rest and goes "More of that, please. And I'm not asking."
And he's so rendered by it that he doesn't grumble about being coddled like he normally would when he wakes up. He knows not to fuck with the medbay staff - they're just as firm as he is on recovery, and that's not by accident - and he knows that Spock and Kirk will be hovering, because they see any problem as something they, too, should shoulder the burden of.
...And because they're some of the most protective people in the damned universe. And that goes for pretty much all the people on board the Enterprise.
In some scenarios, it's just a case of letting his body and mind rest properly. In others, there's a lot more recovery involved than anyone initially expects. Luckily for him, he has a found family who are determined to be there with him at every step. It just takes a couple reminders, every once in a while.
#leonard bones mccoy#star trek tos#star trek aos#whump#back on my bullshit#aos bones fretting over Jim and Spock and their injuries; completely forgetting that hes also a little worse for wear#thinking back to dustykneed's post abt him being fucked up and grieving after ST:ID and. Lets just make it even more physical#After the issues they face from that; Spirk are more aware of Bones' tendency to brush things off. are more equipped to take care of him#when he needs it; just as he does for them. He's so stubbornly self sufficient and it worries them. But they're equally as stubborn and#loving. Unstoppable Force meets Immovable Object. I feel like post ST:ID is where they kind of Learn that Bones keeps shit on the down low#Because like. Bones will complain. Unless it's smth that's just affecting him. And then he suddenly keeps it to himself. When he complains#abt that whole fiasco he complains abt Jim dying. Abt Spock almost dying on that planet. About how they all almost died. But he doesn't tal#about how HE almost died from that fucking torpedo almost blowing up on him. Not a word. Jim forgot it had even happened until like. Carol#brings it up in passing. Maybe she has nightmares on the incident. But he realises Bones has just NEVER fucking mentioned it despite him#being the master complainer. That sets off the first alarm bells. And then maybe Uhura asks Jim how Bones is doing bc she knows that Bones#would just say he's fine. But Jim is like ??? Bc why wouldn't Bones be okay. And then she realises that HE HASN'T realised that Bones is th#kind of motherfucker to suffer in silence. and she's like Jim. Jim he literally ran himself to the ground trying to revive you. Jim. Are yo#kidding me have you NOT TALKED ABOUT THAT??? ANY OF IT??? Thus... Jim realises or maybe even Remembers what Bones is like#bc maybe at some point he DID know Bones well enough to know when he's fucking himself over. But all the Bullshit that theyve gone through#and the fact they work in entirely different parts of the ship kind of. Alienated them a bit. And suddenly hes like. Oh. Oh No. Oh FUCK.#because Jesus how the FUCK does he even approach this. But he manages it. And Spock gets in on it too as he slowly gets to know the doctor#And then post-beyond its like. Yeah. All three of them gang up on each other. That includes Spock and Kirk making sure Bones is as Fine as#he always says he is.#anyway. Yeah. I just think Bones probably stresses and overthinks too much but god forbid anyone comfort him. Self sacrificing bastard#wow this is a lot of alphabet soup im so sorry AHAHA

i love my sister and for the most part, we are very close and genuinely like each other a lot but the one place where i'd just really, really, really like to see inside her brain is the part where she is still incredibly comfortable and cheerful—and even thinks it's really funny—talking about how much she didn't like me as a child while I'm like. yes. I am and was aware. and it sucked so so so much
#we had a really wild moment over dinner last week where she actually acknowledged#EXPLICITLY with her OWN WORDS#that things like our brother dying right when i was going into my senior yr of high school#and covid lockdown starting right when i'd graduated college + moved to a new city where i knew no one except her + was applying/auditionin#for jobs#were harder on me than one her in some unique ways#and i was literally like . is. is this a test? am i supposed to deny it?#bc like when our brother died she told me i was a selfish brat (for not grieving the way she did)#and during covid she told me (right after i got laid off) that she had ''way more reasons to be depressed'' than i did#personal#anyway she was laughing so much as she said this (abt not liking me) and i was just staring at her nodding slightly like#yeah. i know. i know you didn't like me#do YOU know how much it sucks to know that your older sister--whom you idolize--who you *desperately* want to like you--#not only doesn't like you at all#but even up into high school/college#would talk about how she couldn't wait till our LITTLE (five year old) cousins were old enough to hang because they'd be so much fun#and know that she had absolutely never thought or said that about you#do you perhaps! think that might still have ramifications on our relationship to this day#if your little sister spent 20+ years knowing that your love was conditional on them being the person you wanted her to be#like. do u???#(the answer is no of course but#i remain boggled by the fact that this eludes her considering she is! in fact! a really smart person!)#it's also like when i was first offered my current job#and our now bosses asked both of us like ''are you worried at all about working with your sister?''#and she laughed like lol no of course not?#while i was like ''honestly yes.'' adskjfglkjasds#very different perspectives sometimes

not to be bitter about the Durins again but it will never stop pissing me off to a burning degree that in the movies Kíli dies off in a little corner with no one but one elf he met two days ago around, and she’s nerfed to the point she’s utterly helpless until RIGHT AFTER he’s killed. It feels so bullshit and unfulfilling. I remember me and a friend were huge fans of the Durins (her even more than me) as well as the little Kíli and Tauriel side story back when the movies came out, and we watched it in theatres and she literally said she would never watch that scene again bc it disappointed her so badly. She skips it to this day. Bc why the fuck did they have Kíli die for an elf he barely knew (I like Tauriel but it is true— they’ve known each other for maybe two or three days total) over the family he ran out into battle to defend, the family he set out on the quest with and the family that he was so proud of. Why was he not with his brother, or trying to defend his uncle who was still very much alive and in danger? Tauriel literally just serves to get Kíli killed in that scene, bc they nerf her (CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. Even against a tough orc she should be holding her own) but have Legolas out there holding his own, and it is nowhere NEAR as emotionally devestating as the single sentence we’re given in the book of how Kíli and Fíli went down defending their uncle. I can almost excuse the change in how Fíli dies bc it does hold emotional weight, but Kíli’s death going from the devotion of family even to his own doom into dying for an elf he has puppy love for while being totally cut off from the other dwarves fucking killed the scene for me. And there isn’t really even a good payoff for Tauriel afterward either. We just leave her there regretting she ever loved him. It hurts me so damn much, and not least of which is because for every video someone does as a tribute to Thorin and his nephews, it always takes a sharp left turn into Tauriel watching Kíli die all by himself and it doesn’t even feel related to the other’s deaths. I think it would have felt much more like the best of both if they’d kept Kíli dying defending his family, and then have Tauriel come to him as he’s dying. But that’s not what happened. It fucking sucks. I promise I do like the movies but I will stand hard by saying that it’s weakest writing is the latter half of the second and the former half of the third movie. It only really picks up to consistently good scenes at Thorin’s battle with Azog in my opinion. Sorry for another brief hater moment but man. Man.
#lotr#the hobbit#sons of durin#thorin oakenshield#kili#fili#kili and fili#(their last name isn’t Durin but I’m tempted to tag it as such since I see a lot of people use that.#though to be fair what other character is named Kíli or Fíli out there lmao)#I fucking LIKE TAURIEL. but she is not more important than his family. like she is a crush he has but UR BROTHER JUST DIED MAN.#UR UNCLE IS ABOUT TO. IM SORRY BUT TAURIEL SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE HERSELF AGAINST A SINGLE GODDAMN ORC.#ISNT SHE A GENERAL??#PLEASE. it hurts so bad. and they have the GALL to remind us abt Dís w the stone afterward. like family was at all involved#in how Kíli died beyond what sent him up the stairs. I don’t even think his last thoughts were portrayed as his family in the movie.#it looks like all he’s thinking about is Tauriel. not the fact that his mother will never see him again. not that he failed his uncle.#not even that he didn’t get to avenge his brother.#then Thranduil comes in and it feels awful bc she doesn’t seem to get any payoff for her character.#and this is a personal nitpick but the dialogue there just. it doesn’t end satisfyingly.#the ‘because it was real’ like never felt impactful to me. it actually felt kind of cheesy?? Tauriel’s lines actually have weight to them#and then Legolas movie bombs that scene too and we just. forget about Tauriel over there VERY LIKELY dying from elven grief#’go talk to the 12 year old in the north. for some reason he’s already called Strider’#and Kíli’s body is RIGHT THERE. they’re doing nostalgia bait and MCU level ‘ohh this guy’ shit RIGHT AFTER THE DURIN’S DIE

i kneel into a dream where my parents use my correct pronouns without me having to ask them to
#to be clear I haven’t asked them to yet#but they know my friends use they/them for me!#this probably sounds over dramatic but earlier today we were joking abt something involving me and my parents said ‘she’ maybe six times#and I felt every single one. like it hurt#(Kim there’s people that are dying)#but i really need to get up the courage to talk to them about my pronouns#because it’s really upsetting

In retrospect I apologize for the lack of a “at least daily for sure” answer
#irl death#as a blacklist tag#obviously no one is actually dying#I DO NOT INTEND TO DIE ANY TIME SOON#personally I latched onto ‘what if that’s the last interaction you have with each other’ VERY literally a while back#and also have spent enough time thinking abt it that I’m like. what would happen to my finances?#would everyone be ok if something happened?#how would online friends find out? is everything in place for that? I don’t think I have any friends that no one knows how to contact?#and lastly what if someone unlocks my computer/phone? what websites are open?#what would people decide to do with my unpublished poetry and writing?#what happens to my childhood teddy bear?#yknow there’s ingredients here. having once spent a span of time being actively suicidal: now that I am not; I remain aware of what needs to#be thought about!#and then also my best friend’s dad died last year and I lived with her while she was in charge of his will and finances and everything#hi my loved ones I hope this didn’t suck to read#it’s? one of those feelings I like talking about? I like talking about quite personal stuff sometimes#yeah

Having a moment rn
Also on a more general note:
#honkai impact 3rd#hi3 aponia#hi3 kalpas#hi3 vill v#hi3 flamechasers#meme#thinking about the flame chasers makes me want to bite things but these 3 in particular...#aponia is an incredibly interesting and complex character morality/ethics-wise + i love her role in the elysium everlasting arc#both in the er ch3 with the ''predetermined fate vs free will'' thing and in the story part being the ''human controller'' of the realm#(shes also my best built character and long-time main but thats not what im talking about)#kalpas. at first you think hes only ''the angry destructive one'' but then you find out more about him and his interpersonal relationships#and it just hits you how much he cares. him dying to prove his best friends innocence. his last convo w/ aponia. everything abt him + emile#oughhhh#AND VILLV!! At first i didnt pay her much attention but her arc in ch30 + getting to see her inner workings (literally and figuratively)#changed that completely. original vill-v my beloved#i could also go on and on about them and many other fcs (kosma griseo pardo etc etc) but ill stop now. enjoy the memes#from the sea of queue-anta#<- look i have a funny queue tag now
