"Don't forget your supplements," Takuto says, smiling easily. He hands Ren the vitamins, and Ren takes them, easily. He and Sumire are supposed to go hunting into the city ruins again today, and he bids the brown-haired man goodbye before setting out. Kasumi can't come with them that day, other obligations keeping her up.
--
Ren eats dinner in the company of Takuto and Sumire, the redhead leaning against the older man's side easily, tipsy from the fermented drink they've had the chance to try first before it will be shared at dinner tomorrow. "You really fit right in, Ren," he says with soft smiles, hands brushing against Sumire's bangs. "Sumire really needed some friends her age, she's such a wallflower, always."
Ren hums, feeling soft in the dwindling light of early autumn, insides like cotton candy.

Mifune and Jean greet Ren as always, and Ren smiles back as the old woman hands him wrapped jerky for his excursion to pick out berries and fruit with Takuto, their dried herbs running low. He hurries up towards those soft brown curls and the easy smile, lets Takuto brush the back of a hand over his cheek before they're off. They run into a shadow, an enraged mithra that has adrenaline flood Ren's system before he takes it out, breathing heavily and -- wondering. About something missing.
Takuto has them take back the mithra to the settlement, where others come to stare at the kill, and then everyone cheers before they start a feast for the night. Ren is swept up in the activities, gets roped into decorating the main hall with Sumire, the autumn weather a gentle breeze. Kasumi smiles wanly at him when they pass each other, and they end up sitting at a table with Sumire and Takuto, easy smiles all around. Sumire hugs his arm, tightly, while their food is served -- some sort of roast, with the berries that Ren's picked today, and he feels warm all over.
Takuto gently tugs at Ren's chin, brushes a kiss against the side of his lips, all warmth and soft skin, Sumire smiling next to him before she hugs both of them close--
Ren's brain is all cotton and soft velvet, and he separates reluctantly when the food arrives, and he takes a bite of the roast before his stomach vividly dislikes the aftertaste of the thing. Ren feels like heaving, but he refrains, aware that it would be rude. He keeps eating, each bite worse than the previous, brows furrowed as to why -- usually he likes the food the settlement prepares, so what's wrong with it today? The meat is as tender as always, seasoned perfectly and smooth as butter in his mouth. Kasumi is staring at him with furrowed brows, but Ren doesn't notice as he watches the people around them, sees how they enjoy the food as someone a table over jokes about how they'd enjoyed the jatagu much more, and the insides of Ren's mouth turn to ash as he stares at his roast with horror. He doesn't notice Takuto call his name until a soft hand touches his shoulder, and Ren turns towards him only to be offered a fork full of roast, and Ren opens his mouth as if in a trance before the fork is pulled away, Takuto's soft smile making him unable to do anything but chew and then swallow the piece, even as he feels it sink heavily into his stomach.
Takuto smiles even softer, closes the gap between them to lick the juice off of Ren's lips, and then he turns towards Sumire and offers her a fork as well. Ren, still frozen, ducks his head to stare at his food, thoughts muddled for the rest of the evening. Ren retires to his cot, stares unblinkingly at his still-packed bags and tries to understand what had happened. The feast -- everyone had eaten-- the mithra that Ren had killed-- murdered, it hadn't even attacked him, had it? It's flesh had been served as dinner. He'd--
how many times had that happened...? The little omamori that Akane had made catches his eye, together with Mona's collar that he's stopped wearing sometime in the last few days, and the little custom PTofHearts button that Mishima had pushed into his hands before he'd left Tokyo.
Ren zeroes in on the button, cold washing over him.
"...Arsene...?" Ren tries, suddenly aware that he's stopped hearing his persona's voice after the first handful of days, after that one dinner in the past where he'd remarked that it had... tasted strange. "Oh god," Ren whispers, broken. Arsene? Pigeon, are you there?! I'msorry-forgiveme-where? He tries, unsuccessfully, lost in thought and a swirling of panic until footsteps register and Ren lunges for his dagger and turns it towards--
Kasumi.
They stare at each other, before the dark-haired girl breathes out in relief. "...you snapped out of it." She mutters, intruding in his personal space and making Ren scoot back. He stares at her, remembers all of her little tight glances and pursed lips.
"What is going on...?"
Kasumi's eyes are haunted. "Takuto Maruki has brainwashed every single member of this settlement. Sumire, Cendrillion and I had arrived with a different group three weeks into the cataclysm, but by then he's already had this cult going. It didn't even take him two weeks to enthrall us." She clenches her fists, and Ren stares at her in horror. "I don't know how they do it, but Takuto and his council managed to extract poison from the plants surrounding us. Mixed with berries and food, or even as those 'vitamins' -- they make people forget. And the shadow-based food is addictive."
Now that Ren's mind isn't cottoned over, he can see the truth of her words, can notice how even now his mouth craves the varying dishes he's eaten, finally figured that he's been feeling sick because the mithra's affinity was bless. He stares at Kasumi, wan. "...who is... Cendrillion?"
Real grief enters her eyes. "She was our protector -- a persona from Sumire's soul. You should know about them -- I saw you glance over your shoulder the same way Sumire used to do, before she forgot that Cendrillion existed. Before you forgot." Kasumi shakes her head. "Listen, Ren -- I know how to get you out, but you have to hurry. Snow's going to fall soon, and if you wait any longer you'll be stuck her for who knows how many months. Please."
He stares at her, tries to reach for Arsene again, fingers clenching. "...what about you and Sumire?" He asks at last, tries to not think about how Takuto-- "oh god, he's grooming her," Ren whispers, things slotting into place. He still remembers Ann and Shiho and Kamoshida, remembers how worried Kawakami-sensei had been about doing the same thing to Takase after being pressured by her late student's guardians.
"Sumire isn't the only one that Takuto has been trying to groom." Kasumi whispers, and Ren feels sick all over, remembers how he'd gotten closer to the older man over the past few-- weeks. "You have to leave. He noticed how uncomfortable you were at dinner, it won't be long until he increases the dosage of the poison."
He stares at her, at her resolve, and feels his heart crumble. "What about you and Sumire?"
Kasumi sighs, bitter. "He thinks I'm influenced and I won't leave without my sister, but she's too lost in Takuto's ideologies to leave. I had hoped that talking to you could snap her out of it, but instead you got pulled in-- I'm sorry. Now follow me."
--
There's a gap in the fencing close to the crops, and Ren is laden down with his backpack, shoulderbags and fanny pack -- just how he'd arrived -- still unable to feel Arsene's presence. It's the first week of November already. He's spent over a month inside Takuto's settlement and hadn't even noticed. Kasumi is hugging him tightly, shivering because the air was becoming colder now. Ren hugs back, just as desperate. "...there's a hidden radio broadcast at 13.8 HZg set up by Zenkichi Hasegawa and his daughter; tap in if you ever need help, and tell them that Ren and Arsene sent you." He murmurs, mind running. He didn't want to leave Kasumi and Sumire behind, but he can't stay any longer.
Ren steps through the gap, eyes his friend over one last time. She's given him a ribbon to remember them by, and Ren's wound it around his arm right now, the same one that Arsene had cauterized weeks ago. It smarts, and that reminds Ren of something. Now that his own mind isn't that addled anymore, he's been able to think again. "...go on a hunting party into the city; look if there are vending stations or stores left with any Amrita Soda, it can heal forgetfulness. Or try to bake strawberry daifuku, it has the same effect -- only on persona users though, to my knowledge."
Her eyes are big. "Thank you," she whispers, and then closes the gap from her side, leaving Ren alone. He takes in a deep breath and hurries away, not even daring to take out his light in fear of alerting the night guards. He stumbles over vines and plants and discarded weapons, runs deeper into the forest the opposite of Nagoya, past the markers that the settlement had put down to mark the end of their territory.
Ren continues onward until his legs and lungs are burning, until the woodlands become sparse and he can hear the soft noise of the mutated shuffling around. Ren stops, hands on his thighs as he bends over and starts dry-heaving, shuddering. He's disoriented when he stands back up again, and there's a mutated shadow in front of him, a shiisha that's crackling zio with empty eyes. Ren tenses, unclips his handgun from his side, and fires. There's plants sprouting out of one of its eyes, green and yellow veins running over its neck and front legs.
He misses, whole body shuddering, and then the shiisha lunges at him and Ren curses. He manages to wrench it away after it bit into his leg, takes the second where it's stunned to get his dagger before he plunges it into the infected shadow, doesn't let go until he can hear it's skull crack. Once that is over and done with, Ren breathes out, left back to the stillness of the forest.
...Arsene? he tries again, and curses. Eyes the corpse of the shiisha.
...he has to find a shadow that knows Salvation or Me Patra or Amrita Drop if he wants to be able to contact Arsene again, doesn't he?
(Ren doesn't even entertain that Arsene could be lost to him, doesn't think he could keep going if the persona was gone after everything they'd endured. Ren still has to apologize to the pigeon, after all.)
...the only shadow he knows that exists in the region with the correct skills is garuda, which is a bother because encountering them is difficult.
Still. Ren takes a deep breath and sets off, pushing every other worry to the side until Arsene is safe and sound.

This is not meant to be a dig more just an observation at why opinions differ, but I feel like the people who view Dick as being a fatherly figure to Damian/them having a Parent-Child dynamic vs a Older Sibling-Little Sibling dynamic don’t know what it’s like to have siblings that are waaaaaaaay older than you in a big family! They may take on a more guardian role but it’s still a different dynamic idk
#dick does do the whole parenting thing#VERY oldest sibling coded#but like . he is still a Big Brother Yk?#he’s still gonna fill that brother roll#there is a difference between being a parent and being and older sibling#when your older sibling decides they’re you’re parent it’s not a fun thing 😀 trust me#where I feel like dick and Damian’s relationship is still very sibling coded#not parent child coded#also BRUCE IS RIGHT THERE#I know he was gone for a bit but still#I just#in a story about a man finding his family you really want to make him the absentee father#batfam#batfamily#dc#Batman#robin#dick Grayson#Damian Wayne#Bruce Wayne#Nightwing

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...
#not a shitpost#serious post#ask to tag#tw trauma#cptsd#c-ptsd#and if so we should TALK about it#because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays#like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc#bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times#and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd)#because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact#2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc#3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation#and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie#4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories#and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong#weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards#i got lucky there#also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

Is it just me, or does their beautiful decision to get the matching red tattoos feel like a version of Eda and Lilith's "With this spell declared, let the pain be shared"? Their bonds would be that strong. And damn it...the way that Flapjack is the only palisman featured in the summer photo...

older designs for my specialest guy
#you actually could pay me to watch boruto the payment is reviving any of madara-obito-itachi in a cheap fan service moment. itd work on me 👍#neji hyuga#hyuga neji#art#fanart#naruto#2024#i think konoha would love to project the will of fire shit onto neji after what he did. ya know. trying to give your life 'for the village'#in that way hed probs have a lot of respect from others but respect has never been enough when your life still isnt yours 😛#the pessimism would likely take a bit to return to him but it Would return hes just like. less interpersonally volatile#the realization you had two whole very public meltdowns and no one that matters cared will do that to you#anywayfor the happy ending one. i think while neji is always going to be a little bit bitchy hes bound to soften up a lot when he's not#under constant stress and has to micromanage his every thought#i like to think that if he were allowed to hed grow into a very outwardly warm person. sunflower :)#and my general opinions of neji and boruto are:#1. yes it is a blessing to not be made to be straight married#2. however consider: what if i wanted to see neji be a dad. i dont care for romantic njten but i do not hate it. it would be acceptable#when i think abt this guy in boruto hes chronically single but still.talking about what CANON could be. it would be acceptable#3. yes hiashi shouldve gotten his ass killed in the war but i would be lying if i said the awful family reunions#are not fun as a concept#are they fun on purpose? no#but the rule is: A situation can suck if it sucks on purpose#and 4. i know about the time travel episode i have mixed feelings on it.#anyway no hate if you like boruto i like being hyperbolic for fun but its just anime. the kids seem cute#but if any other hyuga-brained person ever wants to get unimaginably angry you should also watch the hiashi birthday episode of boruto#thats my special recommendation from me to you

Wouldn't lizard fashion be something like spikes and scales and a frilled lizard collar?
Like so?
(Bonus art under the cut)
#thank you anon I've been wanting to draw proper lizard fashion for a while and this gave me the motivation I needed#dracula daily#re: dracula#dracula#lizard fashion#The colours I chose here make Drac look like Harry Du Bois - which is appropriate given how I tend to depict his personality in my shitpost#bonus under the cut featuring Dracula's Weed Smorking Girlfriends#personally I really like the theory that the three vampire women are actually dracula's wife and two daughters#since the book never actually calls them his wives and the two subordinate girls are specifically described as looking similar to him#the idea that he turned his family but is no longer capable of loving them (or being loved by them) adds a whole extra layer for me#because he still goes through the motions - goes out to get them food (babies) and provide for them/fulfil the role of a patriarch#but its hollow and loveless and done out of strange obligation/habit - like an echo of being alive#BUT for the sake of comedy I will always draw them as his three weed smorking girlfriends because it's just funnier#or rather as I like to think of them - his three weed smoking EX-girlfriends who spend all day making fun of him and and freeloading#I'm going to tag any art with them in it from here on out as#the ex-wives of dracula#he's going to england to escape their ridicule

I'm listening to a lot of Maintenance Phase (bc I love it) and this comes up sometimes, so I'll just be sat here thinking about how common it is for little kids to grow up watching their moms and other women in their life jump from diet to diet. Just as ambient background noise in your childhood, the adults around you obsess over calories aloud, express guilt over eating enjoyable food, frame exercise as a form of punishment for eating, and so on.
#how crazy is that...#and no your mom or your aunt or sisters or whoever surely aren't thinking about this as modeling a type of behavior#but that's what happens#also particularly crazy for people I talk to where you're in the age group that also had The Biggest Loser airing on tv at the time LMAO#lots of stuff happening at once there huh. crazy#sergle.txt#also yes I am gendering this SPECIFICALLY not because EDs/weight stigma/eating disorders DON'T stretch across all genders#but because it WAS specifically almost always women doing this because the diet and weight loss industries specifically target women#and because we can all think of examples in our families or in those of our friends and ppl close to us#where one or all of the women will be taking part in this behavior and IN THE BACKGROUND. the men in the house usually aren't.#and that a lot of the time this isn't enforced on them either. or the mom will be cutting calories and the dad will be visibly making fun.#sometimes families with one or two people doing this diet shit will cause it to be The Whole House Goes On A Diet#but more often than not it's a splintered effort or just one person.
