God is not deaf to your cries. He's not deaf to your prayers. His hand is not idle to your situation. God is working. We need only be still.
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14, NIV)
#Exodus 14:14#Watch the Lord fight for you today#I've been so emotionally distraught lately and#I haven't been feeling the best#But yesterday I had encouragement from some worship team members#and my parents are constantly lifting my head up... my arms up when i cannot do it for myself#i am so thankful#i want to change my pov on things#i think thats the key#it won't be easy i know#i know that emotions take over#and that some days are highs#and some days are lows#but i want to try#try#just try#God#Jesus#Jesus Christ#God listens#Church#Christian#christian faith#christianity#Bible#bible#scripture#The Lord God#The Lord#Lord

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on âautistic minecraft girliesâ to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a childrenâs video game.
#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression#and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video'#that's how people fucking die#i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school#i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over#but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this#same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen#because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up'#like what??? does that even fucking mean????#construction

"@/dillonGoo:
Given the latest developments, I'm seriously interested in acquiring @/OfficialRWBY from @/RoosterTeeth. Who should I talk to?
Much of our team worked on the original volumes and collaborated directly with Monty. We'd be honored to bring the series back and carry the torch #RWBY"
Please god, Dillon worked on V3 and animated some incredible, iconic scenes (Velvet's big moment and Cinder VS Pyrrha, for example), and his animation studio now has some incredible work. Please please please put RWBY into the hands of someone who really truly cares for it đđđ

tmagp 8:
the audio distorts when people lie.
I imagine this knowledge will come in handy later.
[id: ALICE: This is not something you go poking around in. Not if you want to keep your job⌠or your neck. SAM: (a little amused) Okay, okay! I get it. Consider me scared straight. "Consider me scared straight" is highlighted. end id]
[id: LENA: Now, while I understand your concerns, you need to understand that Colin has held the IT Manager position for some time without incident, and although he is somewhat⌠frustrated with his current assignment, he can request help from the central IT team at any time. I am certain that should he find his responsibilities unmanageable, he will request assistance. Or resign, of course. Either way, the problem will resolve itself. "Or resign, of course" is highlighted. end id]
[id: CELIA: Is there any way to look up specific files? ALICE: Like what? CELIA: Oh, I donât know. Every case about⌠being buried alive, or meat, or⌠whatever. ALICE: Well, thereâs a search bar, but it doesnât actually do anything. Youâd have to dig through them all manually. (suspicious) â Why do you ask? CELIA: Just figuring it all out.

[id: GERRY: Oh yeah, but I was pretty young. I remember filling in a bunch of forms and questionnaires, then some old men asking me questions about what books I liked to read, who did I look up to, that kind of thing. And then I left. SAM: (disappointed) Thatâs all? GERRY: Yeah, afraid so. Other than just sitting around with a bunch of other kids in a room that smelled like old books. "Yeah, afraid so" is highlighted. end id]
[id: CELIA: Iâm trying to look into⌠Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation, all that good stuff. Freddy doesnât really do searches, so you could keep an eye out and let me know if any come up in your cases? SAM: Uh, sounds a bit sci-fi compared to our usuals. Whatâs this for? (amused breath) Youâre not doing research for that podcast you were on, are you? CELIA: (surprised) You know about that? SAM: I might have given you a quick Google. CELIA: Then⌠yeah. Iâm doing a favor for Georgie. "yeah. Iâm doing a favor for Georgie" is highlighted. end id]
#tmagp#The Magnus Protocol#tmagp theories#tmagp spoilers#original#most of these are relatively easy to clock as lies regardless#which makes sense. they need to be for us to notice the pattern and apply it later#but it does tell us for sure that Colin can't quit#or maybe he can but he won't be able to work anywhere else like Teddy?#in any case he (and possibly the rest?) can't quit in a meaningful way#if you find any I missed please let me know!!#why is this happening? who knows!

i've been thinking about that scene in ep 3 when annabeth apologizes to percy before pushing him into the lake. and on the surface, it seems like she's apologizing in advance for her actions. but what if she's actually expressing sympathy toward percy for how his life will change once his father claims him? once he has to suffer through the same torment as thalia did? once he becomes the outcast amongst the group of demigods who understand his struggles but will do little to help him through it?
#what annabeth said: i'm sorry.#what annabeth meant:#âi'm sorry for forcing you into this situation but you can't run from destinyâ#âbelieve me when i say I've triedâ#âbelieve me when i say that someday you'll have to single-handedly save the worldâ#âand us demigods may not be standing next to you when it comes timeâ#âwell i definitely will be thereâ#âbut i won't make it easy for you seaweed brainâ#ânow get up and fight heroâ#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo headcanon#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#percabeth headcanon#percabeth agnst#she knows and i know she knows

drives me nuts when people treat jin guangyao or wei wuxian like they're socialist revolutionaries like no! they're not!! in fact their respective roles in society and complacency regarding its hierarchies is why ANY of the story even happens to begin with!!!
jin guangyao doesn't hold bitterness just because he was born lower class. he is bitter because others deride him and his prostitute mother in spite of both their intelligence, skills, and efforts to climb the ladder.
why do you think we were shown scenes of other prostitutes in the brothel deriding meng shi for being literate, for "trying" so hard? why do you think we were shown scenes of anxin taunting meng yao and throwing shit at him because he was trying to learn cultivation at his mother's behest?
why do you think jin guangyao arranged for the arson of that brothel, burned to the ground with everyone except sisi inside? that's not the behavior of someone who believes in true equality and the inherent worth of sex workers as human beings!
that's the behavior of someone who thinks he's better than them. the behavior of a man who already came up on top through political games and war crimes, backstabbing and spying for the sake of the "greater good".
i won't rehash his argument to nie mingjue that he didn't have a choice-- he had some choice, but no matter what he does his class will come up and people will always assume the worst and try to hurt him for it, which forces his hand to do whatever will protect him best (hence 'no choice').
jin guangyao did everything he could to secure his own safety and a place among those already higher up. and by that point, he'd won it.
the fact that the temple rebuilt on the brothel site is to guanyin, the goddess of mercy, is even more ironic! the fact that jin guangyao has the goddess's statue carved to look like his own mother is proof that he viewed both her and himself as higher than them. more worthy than them.
of course he cared about the general welfare of others (read: the watchtowers). but consider also that there is no watchtower near yi city, which ended up being one of xue yang's playgrounds. jin guangyao can and will turn a blind eye to certain sufferings if it is convenient to him.
sure, jin guangyao made undeniable contributions to cultivation society and accessibility, but he is not at any point trying to topple existing class structures. his adherence to them is in fact integral to his own downfall in the end.
it brings with it the inevitability of society conveniently ignoring his triumphs and genuine moments of humanity to deride him once more as an evil, disgusting son of a whore once his crimes come to light.
now for wei wuxian. he's the righteous protagonist of the story and he doesn't give a fuck what society thinks, yes, but he wasn't out there trying to cause an uprising so that all the poor servant classes and lower could become cultivators. he wasn't trying to redistribute wealth or insinuate that those who are lower deserve to be viewed as equal to the gentry.
the most critical and non-explicitly stated fact of mo dao zu shi is that wei wuxian has always been resigned to his position in the social hierarchy.
his unreliable narration, especially regarding his own past and thoughts, is so damn important. he doesn't EVER tell the reader directly that people treated him any which way at their leisure because of his parents' differing social classes.
no. instead we are shown how much prestige he is afforded as cangse-sanren's son-- reputation as a talented and charming young cultivator, made head disciple of Yunmeng Jiang-- and how little respect he is given in the same breath, as the son of servant wei changze.
the way he is treated by others is as fickle as the wind. if he obeys and does as told, there is no reward. of course he did that, that was the expectation to start with! if he does anything even slightly inconvenient, there is a punishment. of course he has no manners, what else would you expect from an ungrateful son of a servant?
wei wuxian's righteousness is not a matter of adhering to principles he was explicitly taught, the way nie mingjue values honor or the way jiang cheng always tries to prove himself. wei wuxian does the right thing regardless of what the consequences are to him because his good deeds are always downplayed and his bad deeds are always singled out, no matter who or how many people were doing it with him.
he has faced this double standard since childhood. there are points in the novel where it's clear that this sticks out to wei wuxian, but does he ever fight back against that view of himself? does he EVER, at any point in the story, explain his actions and choices to jianghu society and try to debate or appeal to their sense of reason?
no. because he knows, at his very core, that any explicit deviation from their interests whatsoever will be punished.
slaughtering thousands of people is fine when they want him to do it, and when the alternative is unjust torture, re-education camps, and encroachment upon other sects' lands.
slaughtering thousands of people who are trying to paint him as evil for not going along with their genocidal plans, however, is punished.
wei wuxian knows his acceptance among the higher classes is superficial and unsteady. from the age of 10, when jiang fengmian took him in, he knew subconsciously that he could be kicked out at any time.
he knows that cultivation society doesn't care about war crimes and concentration camps and mistreatment of the remaining wen survivors of the sunshot campaign. but the right thing to do now that they aren't at wartime is to help them, plus they'd punish him either way for it, so he will.
in this regard wei wuxian is more self-aware of his position than jin guangyao. he does care about common people and he does try his best to help them as an individual. even if that ends up with him disabled, arrested, targeted in sieges, or dead.
but is he revolutionary? in the full equality, fight the establishment, rewrite laws, change social structures and people's perceptions of class sense?
no. no. he isn't.
now my knowledge of chinese society and history is fairly limited to my hindu diaspora upbringing and our shared cultural similarities ... but speaking to what i absolutely know us true, adherence to one's social class is expected.
this is rigid. efforts and merits might bring you some level of mobility, but in the end, the circumstances of your birth will always be scrutinized first, and your behavior compared to the stereotypes of where and how you originate.
mdzs is not about revolution, and none of its characters are able to truly change its society. there is no grand "maybe cutsleeves aren't inherently bad" or "i'm sorry for persecuting you and believing hearsay, you were truly a good person all along!" at the finale.
people ignore history and repeat it again with the next batch of ugly gossip and rumors.
wei wuxian, lan wangji, and luo qingyang find peace only by distancing themselves from cultivation society and its opinions.
jin guangyao and wei wuxian both cannot ever escape from others' perception of their origins and actions. regardless of their personal beliefs, they are not revolutionaries.
#keri chats#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#long post#mdzs spoilers#wei wuxian#jin guangyao#mdzs meta#the untamed#cql#i know it's funny or fanon to call them commies but it's so deeply fucking important to me that ppl understand they CANONICALLY are NOT#AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#this is messy and unedited and rather surface level but again if you read this post i love you lmao#wwx did the right thing in the xuanwu cave by helping mianmian and fighting back against wen chao BUT he was punished for it#through wang lingjiao's visit insisting he be whipped for it + the fall of lotus pier#like if wwx'll be punished either way ofc he'll do the righteous thing. but he is undeniably resigned to the fact that they won't change#wwx doesnt TRY to change THEM. he just does what he wants & believes is right himself#big difference & while jgy is often easy to clear up i still see so many people say that wwx is different and im like. YES but also GOD NO

LOST: Season One
#lost#abc lost#lost one cap per ep#this was a project i was gonna do anyways but the timing worked out that i could post the first one on the 20th anniversary!#this is one cap per ep every season. from left to right. and this is important: its not a cap that sums up each ep#its a cap that REPRESENTS each ep. the way i choose them varies every episode#sometimes its an utterly iconic moment. sometimes it reps the theme of the ep. or it hits with a theme of the character themselves#sometimes the cap i use won't even involve the character whose centric episode it is. trust me. this makes sense#anyways i'll give a good example: for outlaws i was so tempted to use a shot of the judgemental soulful gaze of the boar#or perhaps sawyer in the rain after he shot that man#but! i used that shot of sawyer's dads legs as sawyer is hiding under the bed. i feel it worthy because this moment. this scene#is literally a core part of sawyer. it's a defining moment of his backstory. of his character. so yeah. makes sense yeah?#anyways some eps had Too Much going on (lord i could make one of these for exodus part 1 alone) and some not enough#or well they DID but like lacked in caps that Hit in the way im thinking. thank heavens charlie shot ethan cuz i was worried about that ep#i was like ''aw shit what am i gonna use'' and then an iconic lost moment happened kjhfdsjkhfd#anyways. there are 25 eps in season one. so im really glad that the last ep contains one of the moment iconic visuals/moments in all of los#oh i should add that these caps are unedited. i did not fuck with the colours or saturation in any way#i found 'em and i pieced them together. this is harder than it sounds. i browsed through all the screencaps of every ep of season one#and i will do so the remaining five seasons#some of these were super easy like i knew what cap i'd be using before i even started (eg. do no harm. the moth. in translation)#but some took some real Thinking. and some eps even had several caps that would have worked. this has all been quite interesting#also yeah. y'all already know damn well what cap i'm using for the very last episode

You look at him
Totally couchbound
Fast food bags and wrappers surround him and even can be found in his folds
BRRRMPPTTTTTTTT
He's of course helplessly gassy. You ensured it by putting him on that diet
His tubby face and chins are smeared in grease and sauce, majority being mayo
You made sure he craved the extra fatty stuff, stuff no sane human would ingest even on a dare
Lest they turn into a porker like him
His sweaty body looks as if it could give off steam it was so hot
You tuned the temperature of the "living room" to make sure he was always sweating
A bottle of sugary soda or an ice cold ice cream shake was always in reach to cool him down
Especially when he unceremoniously dumps it down his front because his fat sausage fingers were deprived of any dexterity long ago
He loves the feeling of the icy cold slop washing down his bloated areola
Those plumped nipples he was constantly groping and teasing any time he got even remotely close to turned on
After all even when he could get up he couldn't reach down there
A growing mound of pubic blubber and a steady dose of specially crafted "supplements" ensured that
And oh how he was turned on
Maybe it was the constant stream of humiliating smut you'd play over multiple TVs in his eyeline.
Maybe it was the fact any time he fruitlessly attempted to stand like he was still capable of being a functioning person the wobbling of his fatpad stimulated that useless little thing it'd swallowed
Maybe it was you constantly fucking his cavernous greasy navel like it was your own personal onahole
Or the friends you allowed to do the same
Maybe his mind was so hopelessly broken that the mere act of eating that greasy slop one could charitably call "food" made his pathetic cock twitch
Either way it gave him hands free orgasms that made him spurt hot gallon sized puddles of cum directly onto the carpet in front of where he sat
On that couch
His prison
His permanent home
You know he loves it
At least
You sure do
#fatten me#slob#Doesn't mention any specific names#But#You know who it's about#Still easy enough to substitute in any guy ya want tho#Even yourself#I won't judge#After all I imagined myself in his place a couple times while writing#Subtle hint you should fatten my sona til he's barely recognizable~

why do people think Yevgeny wasn't Mickey's son? in 3x06 there was clearly no condom used (not that Terry probably would have let Svetlana stop to get one), but there's no reason to think she wasn't using condoms with her regular clients. it's not Svetlana's fault that she was a tool used to rape Mickeyâthe sole blame for everything that happens in that entire situation belongs to Terry Milkovich and him aloneâso why does it feel like it's just another way for people to shit on Svetlana for something that wasn't in her control? it's not as though she'd asked to get pregnant in the first place...
#stop giving svetlana shit just because terry was one of her clientsâbetween him and sasha do you really think she had a chance to say no?#her attitude towards mickey is s4 is very easy to understand when you think about the fact that a) she's his age or maybe a year older#b) she is a person who knows she has to take what life gives her and make the best of bad situations#c) her entire future rests (so she thinks) on her and mickey making their marriage work and he was absorbed in ian (which the audience gets#but svet has no context for) and thus her feeling threatened is very understandable because mickey also won't stand up to his father#so yeah of course svet is gonna see terry as the one person who will put things the way they're supposed to be#but! it's after mickey comes out and he and ian fight everyone in the bar that she realizes mickey could be an ally to her#and she extends a hand in friendship because they're both stuck in this situation and yeah of course she wants him to stop being stupid#about yevâas she puts it âbaby did not choose this eitherâ which leads me to think she understands mickey's situation a little better now#but yev looks so much like mickey and has those big blue eyes of his (also evidence for baby mickey being blond)#I get that the whole child from rape thing isn't fun for mickey to have to deal with but women have to go through it all the timeâlike Svet#okay rant over I'm sorry I'm just...it puts a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see it in fic or meta that yev can't *possibly* be mickey's#mickey milkovich#svetlana yevgenivna#yevgeny milkovich#shameless

Hello!! First your Tumblr and edits are so gorgeous! Second I was wondering if you were willing to share how you did the second gif of this edit please? Have a great day! (Or night)
https://www.tumblr.com/thereigning-lorelai/713794704750362624/usergif-1-year-celebrationshuffle-challenge?source=share
hi nonny, thanks for the nice words! really appreciated. âĽďż˝ďż˝ so, you're looking for this grid effect:
you're starting off with two gifs. i'd recommend choosing scenes that are not too close up because otherwise they'll overlap too much and you won't be able to delete enough parts to make the most of this effect.
so, here's my base gif that i just did in black and white with some minor purple brush strokes set to screen:
i then chose my second gif and coloured it with a purple gradient map and a purple colour fill set to multiply. the colouring of the gifs is entirely up to you and what you think looks best. so here's my second gif, still without the grid:
this is where the fun part starts - the grid layout. i created that with a new guide layout. this is a super neat tool in photoshop that helps you align shapes or selections on your image. the guide lines basically float over it and help you set up symmetric shapes or layouts. you can define how many columns and rows you want to have and then photoshop creates the guide layout for you. for this gif i chose 4 columns and 4 rows:
with this set up, i started creating the rectangles to make the purple gif visible on top of the black and white one. this is my final layout for my shapes:
you can move around the shapes to your liking and what works best with your gifs. i didn't want to cover too much of my base gif but also tried to make their faces in the top gif all be in the gif as much as possible.
this step is just a lot of moving around your shapes and seeing what looks good tbh.
i then grouped my shapes and clipped my top gif (including all layers for the colouring) to my shapes group:
looking good so far. the only thing missing are the lines for the grid. this is where your guide layout comes in again. i just reopened it and then traced the guide lines with my line tool to create the white grid overlay:
(for editing purposes i turned all of the line layers into a single smart object at the end. this is why you only see one layer for all the lines in this screenshot.)
finally, i used a gaussian blur (0,5 px radius, 100% fill for the filter, 40% fill for the overall layer) on the smart layer to make the lines a little bit smoother and softer looking. this is totally optional and again, up to what looks best to you.
added some text et voilĂ :
#asks#kind nonnies#usergif#*tutorial#hope this helps nonny#if you have any further questions just let me know#i'm not the best at explaining especially because i think my way won't be the most efficient or even logical#but that's how i did it and i think it's fairly easy to achieve

The King of the Freaks | Pt 4
(Yes I am too lazy to keep writing that long title so itâs been changed from now on...)
Ao3 Link | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15
Eddie was kinda pissed as he stabbed at the food on his tray. "You sure they said we can't?" Gareth question, and he sounded just as Eddie felt.
"They said that we couldn't do this week," Eddie said again, and he glanced up as Steve moved to sit down next to Jeff. He was pulling something out of his backpack and it was the first time since that first time that Steve actually sat with them.
"What can't you guys do?" Steve questioned as he pulled out a container of cookies and slid them over to Jeff.
Jeff lit up even as the others looked confused. "We can't do Hellfire this week. Apparently, the drama club needs the drama room this week." Jeff explains, and Steve pauses.
His face makes a hundred micro expressions before he shrugs, "You could do it at my house. I don't really care." Steve states and moves to stand back up hit Jeff pulls him back down. "Uh, what?"
He looks confused, and it's unfair because it seems like the moment they should be confused. "Three questions. First I thought you had swimming? Second, why would you let us do it at your house? Most parents think we are a cult, and I doubt your parents would think differently. And lastly, what's up with the cookies?"
Steve looks a little embarrassed as he's forced to stay there. But he meets Eddie's gaze. "First, I do have swimming, but I don't care. Come over that night or another if you really care. Second, my parents are in either Beijing or Belgium right now, so they don't get an opinion. And the cookies are for Jeff because he helped me last weekend. He can share, or he doesn't have to, I don't care."
Eddie blinks, "you'd let us be at your house without you there?"
"Sure, why not. I doubt you'll trash the entire place. And even if you do, there's not much you could do I haven't seen before. I've had enough parties to get good at cleaning up." Steve states, and Eddie looks at the others, trying to see if they're just as confused.
"That's amazing, dude! How about we get pizza, since you'll host?" Jeff offers, and Steve gives them a tight smile. Eddie's not sure if it's because of the topic of food or the idea that they're going to take him up on the offer.Â
Steve nods and itâs a little sharp, âRight. Yeah just let me know date and time.â He pauses and goes back to his bag. He pauses before he can pull whatever heâs grabbed before steeling himself. âHere, just in case Iâm busy.â He drops a key onto the table and practically bolts from the table.Â
Eddie waits for him to come back and take the key with a sike. But he doesnât, instead Eddie sees him dodge Billyâs foot and escape out of the lunch room. âHere I thought we were adopting him.â Gareth mused and picked up the key. Jeff smacked him and took the key. âHey!â Gareth complains.Â
âYeah, Iâve actually been to his house so...â Jeff points out.
That gets Eddie back up and moving, âyeah. About that, what the hell?â
Jeff laughs, âI helped him cook. Heâs been struggling with meet lately and you know my sister.â Eddie nods because it does make sense but at the same time it makes zero sense. âI bumped into him at the store...â Jeff trails off, âI think we need to try harder.â
âHarder?â Eddie squeaked and his friends gave him a look that he really wished he didnât know.Â
Jeff doesnât let that stop him though. âWell, I thought it was bad enough going from top dog to the new top dogâs chew toy but the guy is struggling. He only had condiments in his fridge even though he told me he was a good cook, which he is. Apparently he has no clue where his parents are at the moment. He had a guess but that was it. And! He has no clue when theyâre coming back. I asked and he laughed it off saying maybe for Christmas. Christmas.â
âItâs not even Thanksgiving yet!â Grant states and Jeff nods.Â
Gareth sighs, âIâve been bothering him during my free period. Normally just working on shit next to him... but the dude is not okay. He squints when he reads like he canât see it well. Iâm pretty sure heâs been getting migraines since he fought with Billy. And Iâm 80% sure heâs partially deaf in his left ear. Cause if I whisper on that side he never responds. But he will when I sit on his right.â
âHe never eats lunch,â Eddie sighs. âHe always tears his food apart to make it look like heâs eating. If his fridge is empty than he might not be eating that often.â
âWell shit,â Grant sighs. âBut how do we help him without it being weird.â
Eddie presses his hands together under his chin to think. âOkay, so we stop with the subtle friendship and go for it. If weâre his best friends then maybe heâll let us help him.â

Do you ever think about how this is perhaps the one and only time Mary gives Shuuichi her full blessing to do what he thinks is right.
How she sees Tsutomu in him, now more than ever, and maybe for once she doesn't see a dead man in her son's eyes and words and mannerisms and wishes but a curious, brilliant, alive one.
How she's been going on and on about Shuuichi choosing to follow a path that will get him killed, and how they most likely never see each other again after this until she finds out that Shuuichi ended up dying just like she'd always feared.
Do you ever think about how in here they're on the same wavelength for once, Shuuichi because he inherited itâ he is his father's son, indeedâ and Mary because Tsutomu rubbed off on her, at least a little bit. How they settle an argument without a fight, just this one time, and how this concession might as well have killed Shuuichi as far as Mary knows (she let Tsutomu go without a fight too, and look how well that turned out).
#Not saying this is how Mary rationalizes it by the way. But I do believe that thought might just lurk in the back of her mind#I really don't like her methods at all but taking a step back it's like. Pretty easy to understand a good portion of her thought process#So I'm kinda sitting there like. I do not like you. But I get why you're doing this. But please go to therapy (I know you won't)#yapping time#dcmk#detco#detective conan#akai shuichi#mary sera#the fucking akai family#wizard of the ripples#detco rewatch

big question!! dude can we please see a scene in the AU where castys has his tongue cut off and he has to deal with that? like man, the shock and the pain and the fuckin grief? and neteri just being herself ofc
anyway the latest erebus chapter was heartbreaking youâre so good at being awful to these lads (i canât stop reading)
Thank you I try,,,,,
Okay strap in fellas I think this is banger as hell I had a great time and let me know if you have any other requests for the AU!
Castys & Terror AU Masterlist - Castys Masterlist - Nextâ
Ingredients: shockingly, tongue gets cut off! some suffocation as well
Castys wasnât great at sitting in chairs normally, something his parents had always reprimanded him for, but, hey, theyâd never taken it as far as to fucking tie him to one, and Castys was grateful. This shit was uncomfortable. Like, yeah, the rough ropes around his wrists and ankles were tight and itchy, but also the position just sucked. Not that heâd rather be standing or something-
âYou must be Castys!â The door had swung open, and now this little lady with a white coat on was walking up to him.Â
âYes, Iâm Castys,â he said flatly as she scurried behind him before coming back without her bag. And then she justâŚstared at him. Castys wasnât sure what she was looking at, since there really wasnât much to see, just, like, him. Eventually her eyes wandered up to his, and she jumped in place a bit.
âOh, right, Iâm Neteri.â She stuck her hand out like she expected him to shake it.
âYou know Iâm tied up, right?â
âAh. Yeah.â Her skin was dark enough that it wasnât immediately obvious that she was blushing, but Castys was pretty sure she was. She ended up awkwardly grabbing his right hand and shaking it a bit. âI, um, Iâll be preparing you for this afternoon. Sorry, Iâm just a bit nervous.â
âWell, youâre not tied to a chair so I think youâll be okay.â
She laughed. âYouâre right, youâre right, but Iâm justâŚI think Iâm going to do something Iâm not supposed to do.â
Castys raised an eyebrow. âLet me go because Iâm funny?â
Neteri rolled her eyes, but she was smiling, so clearly she did think he was funny. âNo, youâre staying put, sorry bud. But I think Iâm going to keep you. Youâre kind of perfect.â She tried to cup his cheek in her hand, but Castys leaned away, staring at her with wide eyes.
âWhat the fuck is that supposed to mean?â His mouth was really dry all of a sudden, he wasnât perfect, he was a fuck-up, a useless heir, that had been his goal, he wasnât good at anything he was supposed to be good at, he wasnât well-mannered or polite, he had a huge fucking scar on his face and a lopsided smile because of it, he was filthy and vulgar and didnât have any interest in getting married he was absolutely anything but perfect. So why the hell did she want him?
âItâs not important right now. Youâve got a big day ahead of you!â She clapped her hands, dismissing the subject entirely. He wanted to press her further, but after seeing the lovely object she pulled out of her pocket, everything else was forgotten.
âNo. Absolutely not.â
âAw, what are you gonna do about it, Castys? I thought you were tied to a chair!â Great, now it was his turn to feel his face grow hot, because, yeah, what the fuck was he gonna do?
Normally, he doubted heâd immediately recognize it for what it was, but today, right now, after just being told this lady wanted to keep him, it was instantly clear. And Neteri was right, he was only able to squirm uselessly and lean away as she wrapped the collar around his neck without much trouble. His first swallow after sheâd sealed it shut felt horrible, and he absolutely did not want to get used to it.
âSee, itâs not so bad. It looks cute on you!â She ruffled his hair, which only made Castys more uncomfortable.
âI donât want to be cute. Iâm not a fucking dog.â He wasnât sure whether the collar was part of Neteriâs weird desires or just to humiliate him, but either way he hated it.
âNo, youâre not, but youâre also not a prince anymore, and youâre the property of the Xernan Empire, and this is a good reminder of that,â Neteri said as she walked around behind him, probably to her bag. Castys rolled his eyes. He didnât need to be reminded that he wasnât a prince, since it was his favorite new development in all of this. UnlessâŚunless it wasnât just a reminder for him, but for everyone else, tooâŚHe really, really hoped there wasnât going to be some sort of public display, but given how Neteriâd said he had a âbig dayâ aheadâŚfuck, that was probably the case, huh?
âNow, Iâm going toâŚoh, I might get in so much trouble for this,â Neteri muttered as she stared at the floor, standing in front of him once again. She had leather gloves on, which would have been nice earlier when she was touching him, and she was holdingâŚa pair of shears? He didnât think sheâd put on gloves if she was just going to cut his hair, and given that she thought she might get in trouble for it, it seemed like she was going toâŚmaim him somehow. Castys curled his hands into fists as Neteri slapped her cheeks with her palms, still talking to herself. âNo, Iâm going to do this. I deserve it. Itâs not that far off from what the emperor wants. Okay,â she held the shears up and gave Castys a concerningly bright smile. âAny last words?â
For once, Castys didnât take the opportunity to speak.
Instead, he locked his jaw shut tight, teeth clenched so hard it hurt, lips pressed together, walls of protection around his tongue.Â
Thatâs what she wanted, wasnât it?
Neteri cocked her head, watching him. âNothing to say all of a sudden? No jokes?â Her smile disappeared as her eyes narrowed. âYou figured it out, didnât you, Castys? What Iâm going to do to you.â
He didnât bother nodding.
Neteri stepped up to him, her knee on the chair in between his legs, leaning over him, her face right above his as he craned back to avoid her. âYouâre going to have to get used to obeying me, Castys.â The cold metal of the shears rested on his cheek. âSo open your mouth.â
If thereâs one thing Castys was good at, it was disobeying orders.
After a few moments of neither of them moving, Neteri pinched Castysâs nose shut with her free hand, not saying a word. Fine, he could play that game. Hold on as the pressure in his chest built, as his head started to spin, as his vision started to darken, every fiber of his being screaming at him to just give in to the inevitable and take a breath. He could do it quick, a little gasp, fast enough that she wouldnât be able to do anything. Okay, three, twoâŚ
The exhale was shaky, but it was fine, just a quick inhale as he snapped his mouth shut-
His teeth scraped against metal, the sensation sending shivers down his spine.
Neteri stared at him with a detached coldness as she rotated the shears, forcing his jaw open wide, wide enough for her to stick her hand in and grab his tongue, pulling it out despite his attempts to pull it back, turning the shears to the side now, opening them up, the cold blades-
Snip.
Castysâs mouth was hot it was burning he was choking the smell of blood was so strong he was suffocating on it her hand was still in his mouth her fingers pressed against his wound magic piercing through his jaw heâd scream if he had the air and then that was it her hand was gone he lurched forward coughing and spitting blood and saliva all down the front of the threadbare shirt heâd been given and once he saw the discarded little piece of pink flesh on the floor he couldnât look at anything else he couldnât believe that was it it was gone it wasnât in his mouth his mouth was empty there was only the blood still dripping out and when Neteri laid a hand on his back he wanted to growl at her not to touch him but he couldnât he couldnât say anything anymore he was quiet nothing to say no thoughts or opinions of his own just how his parents had wanted him-
âItâs alright, Castys, just breathe. It was a little more difficult than it needed to be, but you did it.â And why did it need to be at all? âJust two more things left today and then you can rest. And then hopefullyâŚâ Her hand slid up, resting on the back of his neck, on that awful collar, and Castys wanted to scream. He never, ever wanted to belong to her.
But what he wanted didnât matter anymore.
Castys was dragged out and whipped and branded and left out on display, brought back and patched up by Neteri and given soup that he couldnât taste, and when the door slammed shut behind her, he finally allowed himself to cry.
His back and chest hurt, of course, the wounds aggravated no matter how he moved or what position he laid in, but he could deal with it. It was nothing compared to what heâd lost, the little pocket of empty space inside his mouth.
Words were all heâd ever have to really fight back, complaining when he was forced to do things he didnât want to, scaring off all the suitors his parents picked out, jokes keeping him calm when he was scared or upset, even when he couldnât do anything he could still say something, make sure everyone knew how he felt, and now he was more helpless than ever before and he couldnât say a single fucking thing.Â
He didnât even know where he was going to end up, either sold off to some asshole or left in Neteriâs clutches, and no matter what, he wasnât going to be treated like a person. The collar made it pretty clear. He was less than human now, a pet, a lab rat, property, something that didnât need to have thoughts or opinions anymore.Â
Heâd rather be a prince after all.
