Ascent to Oblivion part 2 - echoes of regret

He wanted you to awaken, yet he’s not sure why. Maybe he wanted answers. A reasonable explanation for your absurd actions.

Notes: Ahhhhh, I'm finally free again! I'm so sorry for not posting for a while, I was busy. Anyways, thank you so much for being patient with me. Part 2 is finally outttt. Also, tried a new writing style? I decided to go for less editing on this one, I want to see if it's better in terms of writing emotions. Thank you for 100 followers btw. You guys are the best <33

Warning: reader is not traveler btw, scara's pov after the battle, slight angst?

Peace was a luxury that Scaramouche could never afford.

How could he, when the treachery was etched in the steps of his past ?

Yet the solitude that submerged the city of Sumeru leaves a bitter taste resting on his tongue. He settled beside a statue of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, overlooking the city she once presided over. The region he was supposed to subjugate and bend to his will. 

For once, he’ll be the one exercising control, toying with the strings of his very own marionette play. He’ll devote himself to the role of the puppeteer, finding delight in engineering the people to act according to his words and his words alone. To constrain them to kneel and beg for mercy, manipulating their resolve for his own amusement. 

But alas, it was not meant to be. For he had been defeated by a pesky Traveler and their idiotic companions. 

Scaramouche’s face soured. 

What a disgrace.

His sharp eyes remained its scornful glare at the city. He can not stand staring at the tranquility he yearned to have. The gentle winds that rushed his way seemed to mock him further . It left a lingering caress on his cheek, offering a taste of what he’d been missing for 500 years. He scowls, the hatred evident in his features. A flurry of fallen leaves soon crashed in his direction, dancing away as it avoided him to catch up with the gust of air. One such leaf had landed on your face though, as you lay asleep beside him. He had almost forgotten he brought you here on a whim, despite the Lesser Lord Kusanali’s warnings. 

Their conversation was still fresh in his mind. Having visited you a few times everyday, the Dendro Archon’s attention was caught. She harbored a small smile on her tiny face, her voice warm as usual.

“You don’t have to come here everyday you know?”

He recalls sighing in reply, “I know.”

“But I have to”

Have to, huh?

His answer never really made sense, even to him. He doesn't know why he possessed such a strong obligation to see you. Maybe it had something to do with the turmoil of emotions he was experiencing, raging in his non-existent heart and influencing his thoughts. He wanted you to awaken, yet he’s not sure why.

Maybe he wanted answers. A reasonable explanation for your absurd actions.

Scara still remembers that day. Every single detail. He can’t forget how your body pressed against his, the metallic red a cool contrast to his overheating skin. The way your arms encompassed around him, squeezing him tightly like you were terrified he’d vanish without a trace. He recounts the smash of the debris falling on you, a consequence you suffered for attempting to shield him from danger. 

A stupid move, really. 

He was a puppet, a mere rubble like that was not a threat to his utility. Yet you , with all your mortal characteristics, decided to play hero and shelter him from it. Now look where that got you.

Asleep . 

For two whole weeks. 

Why even bother doing something like that? He wasn’t someone you’d want to save. He had hurt you prior to his fall, yet with no hesitation, you jumped to catch him. 

…You dumbass.

What’s so special about him anyways?

He was nothing more than a discarded puppet, a vessel that was tossed away. A broken doll who's shattered pieces had crumbled to dust, leaving behind a shell of who he once was. 

What part of him was worthy of your adoration? To the point where you disregard your safety just to come to his rescue?

He was insignificant.  A failure . A worthless scrap of metal.

The despairing sobs he vocalized that day served as a reminder that his existence was a mistake. He plummeted to a time in the past when a shed tear sealed his fate to be discarded. He expected you to do the same. 

Yet you didn't .

You didn't abdicate him. You didn't push him away. You simply emboldened your hold and refused to let go. Your touch brought such fervor ardor he had never felt before, a fleeting emotion that loiters within his senses despite the passage of time. Your touch provided him the solace he'd been searching for. But did he even deserve that comfort? 

He eyes your complexion, and his chest burns. What a cruel play by fate, charming the wires of affection out of his grasp and awarding it to you like a trophy.

If only you didn't catch him, then he wouldn't be this troubled.

If only you let him fall.

If only you never cared.

The burn starts to grow, the searing sting tormenting the foundation of his being. His stomach lurches, oh how badly he wants to throw up. Maybe he'll end up vomiting all these useless feelings too.

He wills to change the past, for a preferable outcome in the future. If he never existed, this dilemma would cease to exist. He wouldn’t have to suffer, and you would go on your merry way. Like a parallel line, your paths would never be bound to meet. Maybe then, you wouldn’t be asleep in the first place. Maybe you’d be out there somewhere, roaming Teyvat with the Traveler without the hindrance of his presence.

His existence bordered between pain and fury anyway, and he knew more than anyone how it was certainly a life not worth prevailing. 

With a sigh, Scara narrowed those eyes of his in your direction. How dare you look so peaceful when he's over here, drenched in a scorching passion of self-hatred? The audacity to just remain there, with your pretty eyes closed, and not bother doing anything about it. He huffs, ready to hurl more insults at you. Maybe you’ll wake up from it, returning his jabs as you shoot him a dirty look. And yet… 

“Sorry…”

Something entirely different tumbled out of his mouth. He blinks, barely registering the phrases ripped from his throat. Did he just-

“...I’m sorry”

Why was he apologizing? What was there to apologize for? He wanted to slander you for your interference in his life, not to beg for forgiveness.

A drop of water descends onto your cheek. Huh?

Was it starting to rain?

“...You idiot”

He stops. Has he always sounded like that? Strained… and distressed? 

And why was his vision blurring?

“Please…”

The pang of discomfort bites him without a warning, and it hurts. It hurts so bad. His trembling hands reach out to you. He wants to nuzzle against your arms again, to have you drown out his sorrows in an act of intimacy he’s been longing for.

“Please wake up already”

Taglist for (possible) part 3??

[heavyedit]

ranking the first 3 albums mentioned in the wikipedia article for melodic death metal:

slaughter of the soul (at the gates): 8.5/10 QUITE enjoyable. i know no one is surprised the metalcore fan liked at the gates but i’m #learning my history. i can see why this album influenced so much of metalcore in the 00s

the gallery (dark tranquility): 8/10 i like when viking metal is fun and not seeped in nationalism. and unbeknownst to me before listening i like when it’s also death metal. i like these neat blends of different genres. very fun listen! ^w^

the jester race (in flames): 7/10 i was admittedly underwhelmed by the instrumental tracks but that’s just bc i’ve never been big on instrumental metal to begin with. but all the vocal tracks i liked a lot. it’s not an immediate add to my library but i will surely revisit it and reevaluate

i’m finally getting into melodeath like i said i would all those months ago

WHAT TERRIBLE THINGS ARE YOU DOING TO MY BUG [mallrad] [i saw ur repost of nhw mal lmao]

I NEEEEED INFROMATION RN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INFODUMP AS MUCH AS YOU WANT PLEASE

HI KOI!!!!!!!!!! sorry this has taken me forever to answer ive had a busy work week ouagh. but its MAL TIME NOW. well. technically amity time bc im gonna talk about the setting in general because i love it. whatever go my scarab!

IM GOING TO ANSWER THIS ASSUMING U KNOW WHAT NHW IS. IF YOU DONT IM SO SORRY but also the masterpost is HERE which has basically all the context u need i think.

awesome place to start is reading This Post because it basically lays out the essentials for amity in general and gives you a good idea of their whole deal (theres also this one. which is a joke. but its my favorite ever and i think you will appreciate the clarence)

since i mostly ran thru the basics of their plot timeline super quick in that post i can get into details in this one :] putting a lot of it under the cut so its not 12 miles long hehe

i really like leaving a lot of the amity stuff to be mystery partially because it will literally NEVER come up in the "canon timeline" or whatever since it all happened x number of years ago and partially because giving it an air of mystery makes it seem more myth/legend than anything concrete. which!! since its supposed to be the nhw equivalent of the spirit world i love the idea that its vague and mysterious and hard to comprehend that the Chaos Zone (colloquial name for the quarantine area around the city where they keep the trickster trapped) used to be like. a relatively peaceful idyllic city with only a small handful of capes and not a lot of action. that being said i do in fact have clam flavored brain worms which means i cannot help thinking about clarence and mal in so much detail that is SO unnecessary to the rest of the story other than serving to make what happened to them more tragic.

ANYWAY. all that being said that is my excuse for not having any solid ideas on mals trigger event. ive kind of played around with the idea that he's a case 53 (cauldron dropped him into the city mid-ghoul transformation and full of amnesia so he had. basically no identity before then and no idea where or who or what he was so he just kind of started breaking things) but honestly i havent thought abt it all that much bc its just not that important. either way. he started out as an unaffiliated rogue/villain. as ghoul, he was in his brute form like 90% of the time and behaved pretty much like a less cannibalistic venom. just kind of like. causing damage just because he can. really the ONLY two capes in amity at the time were Whisperer (clarence) and Afterlife (duck) (<< first duck mention btw!). Afterlife is a lot more apathetic to things like this (hes old. hes tired. hes survived WELL past the cape life expectancy but theres no real protocol for capes retiring because usually they just. die. so hes still here) and he really only responds to things he deems an emergency, and some rando causing property damage isnt enough to put ghoul on his radar. so that left Whisperer to deal with him. his powers are very nonviolent non-confrontational so his way of dealing with villains is to use his. basically tranquilizer powers to get them to stop doing whatever theyre doing (its a good thing amity is peaceful. this is NOT a. super great awesome offensive power and he can get very easily overwhelmed against more than one target). so he does this to Ghoul and since his he's a new cape and is not fully under control of his changer powers yet, his brute form drops as soon as hes calm and hes just. some sad disheveled looking guy.

so clarence sees this guy who is just. so incredibly lost. whether thats because of case 53 amnesia or like. post-trigger, post-changer state disorientation, hes just. like. pathetic. hes not being a villain because hes evil hes just doing things because he doesnt know what else to do. so clarence, who is way too kindhearted for his own good, offers to help him. and mal, who has probably never given this sort of softness in his life. just immediately fucking melts into it. of course he accepts that offer he has nothing else to do! he doesnt really care about being a hero or a villain or anything like that (having a morality crisis is boring and a waste of time) but this man is literally glowing and offering him a hand to hold and a purpose and something other than just mindless destruction

so mal drops the name Ghoul and gets his changer powers better under control and properly develops his master powers instead of his brute powers and becomes what essentially ends up being Whisperer's sidekick under the new name Purgatory (which. i really made on a whim at the time but now that i have had time to think about it really has a lot of significance to his character and state of mind and it makes me SICK)

mal has a sort of hero worship crush on clarence like. thats His Hero. thats the guy who picked him up off the ground and helped him stand out of the kindness of his heart and they know each other out of costume now and even in his civilian life clarence is funny and laid back and so easy to talk to and. mal is not those things. god he is so down bad. relationship wise i will point to this convo which i still stand by

but i think like. both in and out of costume theyre kind of inseparable. mal is like. suuuper super protective over clarence to the point where its kind of an intimidation factor to other people. scary dog privilege or whatever. i like to refer to it as like... if clarence was a prince mal would be his loyal knight. if mal was an animal he would be a falcon (fast, sharp, dangerous, always returns to its master etc etc etc).

its also really important to me that clarence DOES NOT see their relationship like this at all he is so. oblivious. or if hes not oblivious he just doesnt do anything about it or puts it out of his mind or whatever. i think one of clarences big flaws is that hes almost too laid back about certain things that he maybe should care about a little more? big "itll be fine" in situations where things . PROBABLY will not be fine if he doesnt do something about it. so while he doesnt really purposefully encourage mals weird hero worship with him he also doesnt really do anything to dissuade it either. so thats how we get to. where we get to. with them. ouhghhh boy.

i already talked abt this pretty in depth in the other post but trickster appears, kills clarence in front of mal, and it just BREAKS something fundamental in him. once the trickster throws him out of the city i think the prt has to drag him away kicking and screaming because theres NO way he would willingly walk away from that (ESPECIALLY because... clarence's body is still there. he never got a proper funeral or burial or anything hes just.... there on the street or on the roof of a building like hes nothing). they probably put him in some kind of custody which he inevitably breaks out of and goes out on his own. i think he tries to go back to the city only to find the walls already in place and no way to get in without fighting a LOT of soldiers and ripping through a lot of anti-cape measures. which he is emotionally willing to do, but hes not stupid. he knows he needs backup. so he seeks out the worlds most dangerous most awful notorious capes ever. and thats how he ends up with the slaughterhouse 9! his eventual goal with them is to manipulate them into helping him get back into amity and kill the trickster. which is OBVIOUSLY not how things turn out, but thats his motivation at least.

when wraith ends up in the public eye with the new haven wards and his costume is sooooo so eerily close to the whisperer, mal kind of Leaves the s9 for a bit? hes still a member and everything, he doesnt actively quit or betray them or anything bc thats like asking to get killed, but he stops travelling with them in order to. whats the nicest way i can say this. research? the wards. specifically wraith. that little unhinged piece of his mind that snapped when clarence was killed gives him this horrible idea that wraith is just.. clarence reincarnated. its probably been close to 20ish years since the amity incident at this point, so the timing even lines up close enough for him to be convinced. so that starts his weird obsession with william, which eventually involves him nominating william as a potential candidate to join the s9 in the trials (william has a Complex about this) and other fucked up things like the tide fridge (<< our loving name for when mal kidnaps tide and keeps him in jars or whatever in the spirit world in canon etc)

hes my favorite fucked up little guy!!!!!!! i hate him so much i want to hit him with hammers but also ive had a specific stained glass art piece depicting the biblical purgatory that i really want to draw as him and clarence so like. take that as you will. im obsessed with them i think abt them so much even though clarence has like no bearing on the actual plot of nhw since the whole "william is the next whisperer" thing is nonexistent. i got distracted writing this a FEW times so i maybe forgot some things so if theres anything else u want to know about them... hmu. i love 2 talk abt them so much <3

Chamber drabble, since this post the spanish one i didnt write anything about this agent, so this is kinda short btw, but i rlly like this one

FIRTS IMPRESION

It was not late, but not early either, it was the time when the television would be full of old and repetitive soap operas, and at that time you just wanted to eat something light and relax your mind.

The protocol began to demand too much, more than you would want or could bear. The missions were three times as frequent as they normally were, the fact that the “mirror” universe could attack them at any moment was disturbing, and, for that reason, they preferred to spend more than their human resources to protect the world, or whatever. remained of it from its ruins

You walked calmly and feeling your heels heavy, as if you were climbing a ladder. You headed to the kitchen, waiting for the solitude in it so you could have something warm or maybe hot, eat something light or some sweets.

you began to overthink slightly as you walked, preparing yourself for a forced social situation, when you entered the kitchen it was empty, almost empty.

Chamber was sitting in a chair as he hummed in an almost intangible voice, a soothing melody, enough to make you sigh silently in tranquility, Chamber so far had not been a bother, just a little cocky and you could handle that.

So you walked to the kitchen and started making yourself some tea, smiling softly at the soft humming of the Frenchman.

“Salut ma belle” you heard chamber speak to you as he stood up straight in his seat “hello” you looked at him and gave him a small polite smile, instantly returning to your tea.

Talking to Chamber was a strange thing, you had had a very short list of encounters with him; 1— his introduction to the protocol, 2— The first time you saw him in the kitchen, 3— The second time you saw him in the kitchen and 4— The current time, when you see him in the kitchen. Your abilities and Chamber's did not fit together, they were both there with different objectives in the mission, which by not combining there was no reason to have missions together, and for that reason it is serious the 4th time you would see it, because of speaking were just cordial greetings.

You thought for a moment about your next mission, it was known that it would be stressful, it would last about three weeks and only 5 days ago you had returned from a previous mission, you were with all the fatigue on your shoulders and it was overwhelming, which It was obvious, your dark circles, messy hair, and the fact that you only spent time taking naps and training were only signs of your fatigue and dedication to the protocol.

In your thoughts you stopped feeling, closing your eyes for a few seconds, and by the time you opened them it was due to the sudden surprise of boiling water on your feet, stumbling backwards and then falling back to the ground

“What-!”, you heard Chamber, who basically jumped from his place and ran towards you, crouching down to your level and gently grabbing your arms, gently pulling you up so that your feet didn't touch the floor. “Did you get too burned? Did you hit your head?” He asked worriedly as his hand held your waist and lifted you up to sit in what a few moments ago was his place.

“I tripped, I'm fine… thank you” he nodded and caressed the side of your cheek “tu dois te reposer” he whispered and grabbed his cup of coffee, now holding it in front of your face “Here, take what you need, if you want you can.” "I'll prepare more," he smiled softly, that look of concern never leaving his eyes. You nodded weakly and then drank the coffee, Chamber leaving your side to clean the tea from the floor and the broken glass from the cup, being careful and giving you worried glances and of affirmation towards your place.

You appreciated his gesture and kindness, you needed it more than anything in your overused work position, you sighed deeply and smiled. Maybe when you return from your next mission you should go back to the kitchen, and this time talk to Chamber in longer dialogues, it wasn't so bad, I had given you coffee, how bad can it be?

Hello! Can i request headcandons of Miguel, hobie and prowler miles with a gn reader who basically has a personality and background of yui komori? That is a very gentle and shy person who sees good in everyoboy and has post traumatic stress disorder because of being victim of kidnapping in the past and reader has the paranoia that the kidnappers would find them, just angst with extra comfort.

Its okay if you don't want to make this request! I know is a little too shady

Alright so I don’t know anything about the character you mentioned so sorry if the reader is a little different.

Also I don’t currently feel comfortable writing for earth 42 Miles as I don’t feel like I know enough about him to write him well, but I’m glad to write for 1610 Miles and pretty much any other character from the Spiderverse movies!

Miguel and Hobie x shy GN reader with ptsd headcanons

Btw I don’t know Spanish, only a tiny bit of Italian so I’m not putting in a lot of non English.

CW: descriptions of panic attacks, trauma, kidnapping, threats, hugs? Miguel thinks you’re gonna hurt yourself, implied violence.

—————

Miguel

The two of you first met while he was on patrol, you had been sitting on the side of a building and he was concerned you were planning on hurting yourself.

While that wasn’t a plan you had in mind, you still spoke to the masked man, albeit very carefully.

Even though you were shy, you warmed up to Spider-Man very quickly.

It became a habit of his to meet you on the same rooftop and talk about your days.

While he found your habits slightly odd, he never mentioned anything as to not make you uncomfortable.

That was, until one day he arrived and you were having a full blown panic attack.

“Hey, what’s going on? Did someone hurt you?” He felt anger fill him as he watched you cry.

But your words were unintelligible, you were hyperventilating, all he could make out between sobs was “they’re coming back for me.” And “I can’t go back”

He carefully approached you, trying not to set you off even more. You were so out of it you barely noticed his arms wrap around you.

“Shhh shhh shhhh, deep breaths amore. You’re safe with me.” As he said this he rubbed your back, swaying you back and forth lightly.

As you started to calm down he continued to hold you, slowly working up the courage to ask what was going on.

“What did you mean “someone is after you”?” He paused, ‘did someone find out about us? Is this because I’m spending time with them?’ He though to himself.

You started to shake again, the paranoia creeping back up. “I-I I can’t, I can’t let them take me again”

“Who, who can’t you let take you again?”

With that you shakily told him your story, how you had been kidnapped in the past and how you were almost constantly paranoid about it.

Miguel was stunned by your story, he had a feeling your past was troubled, but not like this.

“Hey, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, you don’t have to worry.”

After that he continued to meet up with you on the roof, just more often, and soon enough his real identity was revealed to you.

At one point he offered you a job at the spider society, knowing he can trust you, and letting you feel a little more safe in day to day life.

—————

Hobie

It was quiet, you were sitting in your apartment with nothing going on. You enjoyed the tranquility, until there was a loud bang coming from your balcony door.

You hopped up, terrified of the noise. You grabbed the nearest weapon like object and hid behind the couch.

Peeking out from behind the couch you look at the sliding door where the noise had come from, there was a figure, slumped over the old metal railing of the balcony.

Panic set into your body. ‘Is that one of them? did they find me? Are they here to take me back?”

As you started to shake the body on the railing moved. With a loud groan, they slid off the now crooked railing, hitting their head on the glass door.

“Ah shit” you heard them mumble

You couldn’t move, you were frozen in fear. That’s when the person suddenly stood up and opened the door. ‘SHIT’

The lanky figure in a mask walked in, it was too dark to tell just what was on the mask, but you could see spikes.

‘Shit shit shit shit shit shit’. That was all that was running through your mind.

The person walked across your living room, not seeing you as you shrunk more behind the couch.

Suddenly the overhead light was on, and you screamed.

Your scream sent the person into a panic, they looked around the apartment, they now noticed.

“Ah shit this isn’t my flat.”

As the voice said that you rushed to tackle the tall figure, random item in hand.

Your wrists were caught, and you stood there awkwardly.

“Hey, don’t attack me I’m Spider-Man!” The figure stated.

You deadpanned, Spider-Man? He was in your living room?

“You’re lying”

“No I’m not, I’ve got the outfit. Anyways, sorry for accidentally coming into your place, I got the wrong one.”

He turned around to walk out as you stood there dumbfounded.

“You’re just going to leave?”

“Uhhhh, yea. I’ve got stuff to do, I’ll pay for any repairs.” As he said that he closed the door behind him and swung off into the night.

The next day you woke up and started cleaning the mess that had been left in your living room, you had to contact your landlord to have someone repair the damage.

As day crept to night you found yourself back on the couch, off in your own world.

Then your heard the sound of feet landing on concrete.

You shot down to the floor to try and hide, when you noticed it was the spider who had invaded your home the night before.

A knock came from the tall man, who was holding something in his hand.

You quickly made your way over to the door to unlock it and slid it just a crack.

“Ay, I’m sorry again for last night. I got you some cookies from a bakery, and some cash for the repairs…”

You stood there stunned. The punk hero was apologizing? To you?

“O-oh… thank you?” You took the items from him and stepped back slightly.

…

That was the start of a new friendship.

He made it a habit to lightly knock on your balcony door every once and a while to check in on you, always coming up with an excuse as to why he was there.

Soon enough your bond grew stronger and you thought it would be necessary to tell him your past.

Needless to say he was pissed.

He new shitty people would always be shitty, but to someone as kind as you? Hell no.

He told you that you would never have to worry about those guys again.

He may or may not have done what he did to Norman Osborn when he finally found the bastards.

But he kept the extent of his violence from you, mostly because he didn’t want you to worry.

Even though you two have pretty opposite personalities, you get along very well.

——————

That’s it y’all! Sorry if either of them are ooc or if this is just bad in general :/

I appreciate all the support and requests I’ve been getting! Thank you all so much!!!!

Bestie, I need a short story on Ruki or Azusa accidentally getting themselves trapped by an old fish net, within like the middle of the ocean and the shore, where their visible to the public eye. But their trapped in a area where no one really goes except the hunter brothers, the trap was actually very old and not for them but regular fish or any other kinds. So they spend days in that trap (unable to call their brothers for help cause the net was also tied around their mouth don’t ask questions) and when Carla or Shin finally came, the mermen were really weak idk what happens next ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Three hooks, one life

(Thanks for resending this btw because it would be a pain to scroll through post to find it)

Azushin Mermaid AU…

Who would’ve thought things would turn. In a blink of an eye, the dark pit where a kraken lurks has finally got its tentacles around its prey. Months, months, and weeks, the plan initiated and swimmingly sailed along the fog.

Thrashing and squirming, the repeatedly thudding of a tail and canal fin wasn’t a match for weighted nets and tranquilizer darts along Azusa’s curved hips and backside already marked the end of his living in the vast ocean. Blood sharks wouldn’t dare imagine to spot thinned and mixed with the water for small critters to get a whiff of. Blurred vision only spotted Ruki’s sealed fate to officially succumb to the Hunter Brothers.

Everything hurt and water in the small, open cuts from the darts didn’t smooth the stinging like a jellyfish wound. Go back, go, like a thought would normally put in your head, but your body won’t fall through with it.

The shore was right there yet so far, but the area was hidden well for a blind man not to poke at. The scent of blood filtered the blue water and swirled into thin lines and curls with each wiggle Azusa gave with his tail. If he could drown, life would've ended five minutes ago, two in fact. Sharpened teeth attempt to rip through the nets covered in debris, only turning out fray and rigid. Everything hurt.

The moments from being brought onto land was awful. Gills that could take in oxygen acted like shrivled leaves in the winter, arteries that couldn't pump blood back to the heart. No sight of Ruki with a terrible glance around already made Azusa's queasy belly worse. No method to scream as rope acted like jungle vines that managed to wrap at the mouths; it was brutal. Tiredness sunk from those darts and that was it, for now. Lids that felt like anchors only grew heavier and heavier, like being stuck between real life and a nightmare sucking you back in for more. The surface of the water, the rainbow of plants, fish, and rocks below- All gone. Nothing would stay, but won't be forgotten.

Gemstones in CPC (other than becoming the CPC universe's currency 'money')

..is to becoming engagement ring.. Yup wanna talk about it!

(Also my coping mechanisms as how things happened to these 5 ships so far in the CPC story), as after this I make a long post about Plaid Royals men hahaha :")

Before going deeper, take precaution!

BTW if one's forget, I feel the 'money currency' in CPC

world / universe is 'gems' which kinda inconvenient and too varies but well we get what we could, how to pay like this :

^ unless the economy expert, Prez, decline this motion then I guess the 'money currency' in CPC world is 'gems' and unknown what exactly the stone is but colored as light blue

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Nell's engagement ring from Jolie

Which have close up of the ring, from the colour it could also be light blue diamond or sapphire or aquamarine but I take Sapphire for the chance as it's precious stone that could take color of anything - including the light blue

Sapphire is said to be the wisdom stone, stimulating concentration, enhancing creativity and promoting purity and depth of thought. It is believed to focus and calm the mind as well as remove unwanted thoughts, depression and mental tension. It is known as the stone of new love and commitment and is claimed to be useful in encouraging faithfulness and loyalty. Sapphire is thought to bring peace of mind, serenity and prosperity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Maria's engagement ring from Blaine

Aquamarine (don't confuse it with Aquamarine Hoshino btw)

Maria ring stone likely a Aquamarine, March’s birthstone, have reputation for protecting one’s well-being. The aquamarine birthstone evokes the colors of the sea. From deep green-blue to light, slightly greenish blue hues, faceted aquamarines are often free from inclusions and as clear as water, symbolizing purity of spirit and soul.

Aquamarine is often used as a "good luck" stone, thought to bring feelings of peace, love, joy and happiness to those who wear it. There is an energizing quality to aquamarine that provides harmony and balance. If you dream of aquamarine, it is said that you will make new friends, and wearing earrings of aquamarine are thought to bring love and affection into your life.

---------------------------------------------------------------Lorena's engagement ring from Lance

Light purple Amethyst

-> The light purple birthstone is often associated with qualities such as peace, tranquility, and balance. It is believed to have a calming effect (could reduce stress level) on the mind and is often used to aid in meditation and spiritual practices. Amethyst is also associated with intuition and spiritual awareness, making it a popular stone for those seeking to connect with their higher selves.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gwendolyn's engagement ring from Frederick

Peridot

Peridot is a variety of olivine. It is part of the orthorhombic crystal system and has a vitreous luster. Peridot is rich in magnesium and has an iron content that gives the gem its green coloring. The shades of Peridot range from yellow-green to olive green and dark green. The meaning of Peridot is purpose and focus

-> Peridot is a prized gemstone known for its summer spirit, its good-luck vibes, and its uncanny ability to keep you calm and feeling safe no matter what is going on around you.

This gift from the heart of Mother Nature comes with a ton of healing properties. Deep-set calm, good health, restful slumbering, and restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind and soul are just a handful of things you can expect when you say yes to Peridot.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+ possible engagement ring for Jamie from Leopold

Many people search for the beauty of Pink Diamonds. It's an incredibly rare diamond mostly found in the Argyle Mine of Australia. -> Interesting to know that Argyle irl is a site in Australia that have the diamond in Jamie's color: pink. That ring honestly so pretty, but just let know that diamond is a diamond - a gem based solely on carbon but got prssures to becomed hardened. Diamond is the strongest gem in Moch scale (value=10) and even making an idiom of "diamond cuts diamond" to refers only the strongest that able to fights the fellow strongest.

-> Diamonds are associated with strength, love and health. As we have uncovered, throughout history, diamonds have been worn by leaders or power figures to symbolise strength and invincibility. Diamonds have also been associated with good health and represent long life and good heart health.

Conclusion: So those 5 engagement rings, all speculatives regarding the kind of them gemstones - while 4 indeed real rings in the CPC story while another 1 is speculative based on 'meme' - 1 still canon (NelLie), 1 is uncertain with so many complications (GwenDerick/FredDolyn, 1 is growing (LeoMie) but 2 are ykwim (Blaine/Maria + Lance/Lorena)

[effielovesapples]

ok this is my fallout new vegas characters as ween songs post. whos fucking excited. you can disagree and say No i think theyd be this song btw I wont be offended but anyways yeah.

Benny = Voodoo Lady. its a fun song i think it fits him the best just in instrumental alone. lyrics are bouncy and fun like he is too so its so fun. first verses of Falling Out are fun for courier x benny i think.

Swank = What Deaner Was Talkin' About. because of my own personalization of swank and i think he's a lot more nervous and maybe more concerned than he leads on.

Tommy = A Tear for Eddie. im fully a believer of tranquil instrumental enjoy tommy. i feel like he would love just the instrumentals of ween. i would love to chill out with him man.

Arcade = Tender Situation. its slow, very soft spoken lyrics with an instrumental that builds up. it feels very arcade to me.

Veronica = Oh My Dear (Falling in Love) or Birthday Boy. i genuinely can't decide because veronica is such a happy character to me with so much personality but her storyline breaks my heart. i feel like she'd cry if she listened to birthday boy but she'd like it i think.

Rose of Sharon Cassidy = Help Me Scrape The Mucus Off My Brain. feel like she can relate to this song, its a really heartfelt song about substance abuse and while its sad, its got this kind of almost upbeat, fast tempo. it feels like her.

Boone = Cold Blows the Wind. yeah. i dont think i have to explain this really at all if you listen to it.

Raul = She's Your Baby. melody is so beautiful and the lyrics i think can be reflected onto his backstory. just a very beautiful song. OHHH OR IF YOU COULD SAVE YOURSELF. YEAHHHHH

Lily = Push Th' Little Daisies. she would love this.

The King = Freedom of '76. just such a laidback song instrumentally and lyrically. if you listen to it i think you'll kind of see what i mean

Yes Man = I Can't Put My Finger On It. because he's a strange little securitron of a different programming and i think the song is so funky.

Mr. House = The Stallion pt 1. i dont knowwwwwww definitely not instrumentally but its very much a egotistical. Yeah yeah yeah. you're fucking with the MR HOUSE you piece of shit.

if you were wondering about any other characters ill do them but these ones were off the top of my head that i associate with them

does anybody want to know my ween song assignments to fallout new vegas characters. Or should i die

What musicals the 2012 cast would love most

This was in part inspired by @fabuloustrash05 ‘s post about her Renet headcanons, where she mentioned that Renet likes historical musicals. You can find it here.

Anyway, since I am a theatre performer myself, I decided to associate some musicals with the rest of the TMNT cast. Enjoy ^^

Leonardo

“When I drive

When I drive

I'm in love, I'm alive

And I forget about everything I hate

When I drive

When I drive

I can read 65

I won't pay the long, long line

They'll always be behind

And man that just feels great”

If you were to ask him, he’d claim his favorite is Singin’ in the Rain (which I’ve been in btw). It’s funny and a total blast to watch (though ... the movie is better than the stage show). But in reality, his favorite is Bonnie and Clyde. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Raphael

“Always you, every thought I'll ever know

Everywhere I go, you'll be

All the world is only

You and me!”

Like Leo, he also doesn’t tell the truth about his favorite musical. He claims his favorite is Phantom of the Opera. An easy choice, and everyone believes him because it’s just as dramatic as he is lmao. But his favorite is West Side Story. I mean, c’mon, it has gangs, violence, and at its core has a mushy love story. He will not admit he likes it as much as he does.

Donatello

“If only you could know

The things I long to say

If only I could tell you

What I wish I could convey

It's in my every glance

My heart's an open book

You'd see it all at once

If only you would look”

He seems like a Disney fan. You’d think I would’ve chosen Beauty and the Beast, but nah. The Little Mermaid fits him better (I’ve also been in this show). He’s so insecure about not being human, and he’s also from a big family with an overprotective father, so I think he’d relate to Ariel a lot. Plus she’s a redhead so there’s that lol. Maybe a bit on the nose, but I don’t care.

Michelangelo

“We're a notorious couple of cats

As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians

Tight-rope walkers and acrobats”

Yeah, he’s a Cats fan. I think he’d love how artistic and chaotic it is. His brothers probably hate it, which only makes him like it more lmao. He hated the movie.

April

“You can build me up, you can tear me down

You can try but I'm unbreakable

You can do your best, but I'll stand the test

You'll find that I'm unshakeable”

I kinda see April as the kinda girl to like the most popular musicals rather than obscure musicals, and I also wanted to choose one that was about strong women. I considered Wicked and Legally Blonde, but Six seemed most appropriate. Also, she’s my queen, so why not choose the one about queens pfft

Casey

“Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun

I'm one highfalutin' sonuva gun!

Don't ask me how

Fortune found me, fate just crowned me

Now I'm King of New York!”

Casey’s favorite is Newsies. It just seems so freaking obvious. Plus, the love interest is a journalist, so do with that what you will.

Karai

“Home, Love, Family.

There was once a time

I must have had them, too.

Home, Love, Family,

I will never be complete

Until I find you...”

Like Leo and Raph, she also lies about her fav musical. She says it’s Little Shop of Horrors, and she does like it. The Dentist song cracks her up. But her favorite is Anastasia because it hits close to home. See lyrics above. She also lost her real family at a young age, and didn’t know the truth until she was 16. (Also, Anya is my dream role. I got to see the show on tour!)

Shinigami

“Gotta haunt till it hurts

Through the night

And give those guys the fright of their lives”

Shinigami gives me Beetlejuice vibes. I don’t know what else to say about it.

Mona Lisa

“Tranquil as a forest

But on fire within

Once you find your center

You are sure to win”

It’s my headcanon that Mona loves movies once Raph introduces her to them, so I think she’d like movie musicals more than stage musicals. Her favorite is Mulan. As a soldier herself, she respects how the film takes war seriously while still having uplifting and even funny moments throughout.

BONUS:

Lotus Blossom (my 2012 version)

“A new dream

I have one i know that very few dream

I would like to see that over-due dream

Even though it never may come true”

Jekyll and Hyde is a musical about murder, the duality of man, and tragic romance, all things that appeal to Lotus Blossom, an assassin with difficult experiences in romance. (Jekyll and Hyde was my favorite musical back when I first got into TMNT, too! Still is a favorite.)

chapter 5 ✿ chapter 7

Peace.

Something that you once had is now so far away. Sukuna had been sticking to you like a parasite leech; neither you nor he had seen each other since he left your house a week ago for his emergency. He had inserted himself into your life and made it his priority to be there every step of the way, first, by coming to your house unannounced in the early morning, charming your mother and little sister with her promised bribery gift. Sukuna didn't directly tell your mother that he would give your lifts from now on (against your wishes), and he was sure that she'd pick up on that if he came around in the morning often. He was clever; you have to give him that. But your mother is also a person who likes to jump to conclusions when it involves your love life, seeing her eldest daughter not dying as a single woman, of course.

It took you a while to budge to get on Sukuna's bike, with a lot of persuading end from your mother. You didn't miss the way she gives you her wiggly brows, to which you roll your eyes. The ride was tranquil; the humming of his bike occupied the blank stances of silence. You can smell the fresh inside of the helmet since you concur that he just bought it (for you), and his scent creeps its way inside. Somehow it brought some unknowing comfort to your space without much thought.

Sukuna could feel the tightness of your arms wrapped around his midsection. He wouldn't lie that he didn't enjoy it. The closeness is what he cherishes the most since it's your first ride with him; he tried to make it as smooth as possible for you. With a glance at his watch, he saw that there was still time to kill. He mainly learned that you had to cut your breakfast short with his arrival to ignore him.

Cutting to a shortcut, Sukuna drove slowly to a local convenience store that he frequented.

You: "This isn't the way to college."

Sukuna: "Chill your pretty little head."

Sukuna stops in a parking lot, shuts off its engine, and gets off the bike with you. He quickly took off his helmet, hooking it to one of the handles and helping with yours. He brushes against the skin of your neck, and a slight shudder from you doesn't escape his gaze, and he gives a lazy smile at that.

"Hurry up," you usher him. You notice the way he looked at you had your heart hammering. The close physical contact made you lose some sense of fight as you usually chewed his head off. With the helmet off, your hair falls freely with them, spreading over your face as you quickly brush them away. Sukuna helps with your appearance when fingers and palms smooth out any strands out of place. 'I am not supposed to like this!' You screamed in your head, looking away from Sukuna's, cheeks feeling warm; ' He's not serious with me.' Shooing his hand away, you went inside the convenience store with little stomps, not before Sukuna told you to buy whatever you wanted from behind.

The man just lightly laughs to himself, feeling a little prideful. If you're always this meek and easily flustered, it will be fun for him. "What am I going to do with you?"

When he got inside the store, the owner greeted him, and Sukuna gave the man a friendly wave. Seeing you going with only a few items that are barely going to fill your stomach, he tsk at you. "Buy more that's gonna fill your stomach for the day, not a few hours." Giving Sukuna a stink face, you went what he suggested since he said so. He follows closely behind you on what you're grabbing and eyeing.

"Stop closing up on me," quickly putting on a gap; he long strides right next to you in one step.

"I prefer sticking close; it's not every day that we see each other, Little Spitfire. I'm a busy man too." Sukuna stops and looms over your shoulder when you put everything on the counter to pay. He then steps next to you, pulling his fat wallet out; he takes some currency to cover the cost. "Keep the change."

'A rich man for sure.' You eye the wallet. But it was worn out from what you notice, scruff at the corners, and the leather's skin was scraped away, showing its flesh in the bare. For a man who could afford a costume-made motorcycle for him (you searched up what brand he got through the logo), why didn't he buy a new wallet? You assume that he would live up to date on new things and buy it, then turn them into what he likes.

Taking everything off the counter after payment, you both then went quiet again, silently eating your food. You know he's staring at you while you tried to ignore the burning gaze by looking out through the store's window to see a few civilians passing by from a distance.

You lean and flinch away when you feel his fingers brushing against the apple of your cheeks. "What are you doing?" You turn to ask him with a mouthful of food, eyeing when he pulls his hand back to his lap.

Sukuna rests his face against his knuckles, seeing you giving him a questioning look. "You should tie your hair back when eating." Eyeing him up then down, you turn your head away with a 'hm' and munch on your food, ignoring him again. But you weren't expecting him to pull your chair close to him and swivel it, so your back was facing him.

You: "W-What do you think youre doing?!"

Sukuna: "Sit still."

He pushes you to sit back down when you're going to turn around, but the moment when his hands get in your hair is when you feel it caressing it, and a ripple effect of shivers vibrates down your spine, which causes your shoulders to hike up with a surprise pitch coming from your throat.

Seeing you still as a statue, the noise you make didn't escape his ears. The immature act of pulling you closer never felt so tempting before. Sukuna slowly works his fingers to comb out any knots and kinks; with gentle tugs and shifts of his hands, he softens everything out into a ponytail. "Do you have a hair tie or anything?" You didn't speak as you raise a wrist towards him, and he sees a black band peaking out of your long sleeve. Sukuna slides it off your wrist sensually, fingers touching the smooth skin, not missing how your ears turn red or how instantly you took your hand back.

'When is it going to be over,' moaning out in your head, the intrusive digits finally left your scalp, and you swivel the chair around to face the culprit with annoyance writing all over your face lesion.

"Aren't you pretty like this too?" Sukuna asked no one in particular, but he was darn happy about what he did. "Well, you're pretty no matter how you look; it's you after all."

The audacity to flirt with you in broad daylight, acting as if you're both lovers! You want to chuck the food in your hand at him. He was distracting you so much that the food suddenly tasted bland and forgotten. "Save your compliments for someone who likes you!" Huffing out at him, all Sukuna could see was a tiny version of you getting mad at him like a chipmunk.

Image imprinted in his memory.

"Aren't you a little too bold?" Someone taunts you from behind. Not even a full day in college and trouble has already come knocking. You never thought that it would be so soon when his Fanclub would be coming to you at your feet. Looking at the mirror reflection, you see two women glaring. A girl with short brown hair up to the chin and a blonde standing next to her friend, a bit tad taller by a few inches, also had short hair.

You turn off the water tap and go over to the dryer to dry your hand; you don't have time to entertain people like them.

"Don't ignore me, you stupid bitch," the same brown-haired woman said. She grabs you by the shoulder and swings you around to face her. When it comes to height, you're taller than her and her friend.

You: "I think you got the wrong person."

"I am never wrong." She showed you her phone, and an image of you and Sukuna popped up when you both were in the hallway together that one time. If it's not worse than you expect, it's the very part when he kissed your forehead.

"Where did you get that?" The fact that someone is taking photos of you and Sukuna without the both of you knowing is awe-inspiring and scary at the same time.

"This is you, isn't it?" The girl questions you once again.

With a deep sigh from you, you wanted to leave, but she slid her finger across the screen, and the picture changed to the convenience store from this morning. It was taken at a great distance by someone, but with a close-up and zooming in, you could make it out it was you and Sukuna with a lot of editing and filtering. You got stalkers now, too; great. Very great indeed.

"So what if it's me? What do you want me to do about it?" You were looking down at her nonchalant coursing through your veins.

"We want you to stop seeing Sukuna-sama." The blonde demand, eyes burning with hatred towards you.

You only shrugged at the blonde, making her bite her lower lips in anger. "You can tell Sukuna that; I would be thrilled if you could get him off my back for God's good grace. But it seems he doesn't want to."

"You must've bewitched him!" The blonde cursed out, pointing an accusing finger at you.

You held your hands up with a bored look, "Woah, hold your horses. If I bewitched Sukuna, I would've cast a spell for him to leave me alone." Then with a mocking smile, you amp up their hatred for you, "But too bad that he likes me too much to leave me alone."

With that sentence flying out of your mouth, a fight was ensured in the bathroom. The blonde was coming at you raging like a bull, but you quickly grabbed her, putting her arms behind her back, and slammed her against the air dryer. She screamed out in pain when you pinned her head against it when you used one hand to keep her wrists in tack.

The brown was about to charge at you, but you kicked her in the stomach, causing her to fly away a few feet. With the brown hair girl down in pain, clutching onto her stomach, you pull the blonde girl back up and whirl her to face you. With a devilish smile, you slap her across the face as she lands on the ground with a thud.

"Don't pick fights that you can't finish." Was all you said before exiting the bathroom, leaving two women in pain and fuming.

"Oi, what are you doing?" A woman let out a startled gasp as she quickly closed her phone. With a charming smile plaster on her face, she turned around and found it was Sukuna. Her eyes widened, and the color ran across her cheeks. "Oh, you're Yuji's girlfriend. Move out of the way; I need to get to the rooftop." The boredom expression didn't leave Sukuna's face. When Sukuna walks passed Shimei, she grabs onto his arm.

"Wait, I need your help," Shimei asks, batting her eyes coyly at Sukuna brushing loose strands behind her eat to make her look demure. "It's about Yuji."

Sukuna jerks his arm back from her clutches, disliking her already with the way she looks at him; he knows those looks. Since it's the looks, he often gives you. "You date that fool; you deal with him."

Shimei: "But you're his brother; shouldn't you be nicer to him?"

Sukuna: "He may be my brother, but he's not my problem."

Shimei: "Please, I would do anything; just help me with him."

As if problems weren't already annoying on his wit's end, Sukuna saw how Shimei acted all cute with him. God, why did that brat has to date such a loose girl? "Fuck off." Sukuna then strutted off. He was leaving Shimei all flabbergasted.

DA mini-theory: Giants, Dwarves and Titans

So this is just a small pet-theory of mine, but I feel super convinced it’s true. Maybe this is even an obvious given, but I’ve not seen it talked about anywhere so far:

At first I was pretty annoyed at giants suddenly being a thing in Thedas in DAI, like all the weird new animals are bad enough but a new humanoid race?? Also, "Haha, giants are super stupid” - like, what an original take on the trope /s... except then I realised just HOW “stupid” they were. This is not just your random GoT Wun Wun. And then I found some very intriguing bits of information in the codex entries. 

In the “Giant” codex:

“[...] never did I see any sense in its eye, and never did it appear to plan beyond its immediate surroundings. But I remain intrigued, for they have hands, and that means the potential to raise them in praise. “

and to a lesser extent this part:

“ Food is seemingly their only motivator, and I have observed them eating meat, grains, leaves—nearly anything digestible, with no care or joy for taste or texture. “

So they literally just eat to keep on existing and generally just do stuff to exist, without even the emotions or intelligence any animal would display? I found this hella sus... Like does this not remind you very much of something?

obviously the Tranquil kinda seem to react similarly to the world, but even more importantly,

we hear dwarves talked about this way in ancient times

So, the giants seem to behave like other humanoid races when disconnected from their race’s source of magic (and thereby also emotions). Interesting...

Then I played Jaws of Hakkon and they basically spelled it out for us TWICE in the codex entry “ Tale of Hryngnar, Ice-Troll “:

“ Dead to dreams as dwarves below us “

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screm

My theory is that the giants are essentially a type of big dwarf that didn’t get the Mythal treatment. They are “mindless, soulless” as the dwarves were. 

That’s why they are humanoid and have hands, because they used to have a function as part of the titans’ hiveminds. Probably as extra tough fighters or for extra heavy labour or whatever. They are really kind of compareable to the ogres’ position as part of the darkspawn (and btw it would have made so much more sense for ogres to come from giants, but that’s just my personal opinion...) They probably did raise their hands in worship, along with the dwarves, for the Titans or the Stone or whatever it was back then. 

We know that in ancient times, to the outside world (the elves), the dwarves connected to titans seemed mindless, like they had no will of their own. It seems like this wasn’t actually true, based on Valta’s experiences, and it was more like a hive-mind situation probably. In any case, the dwarves seem to really only have become “mindless” after their connection to the titans, their actual minds, was severed. Solas, in dialogue with Varric (which btw has some other really interesting lore hints that I'm thinking a LOT about) says, in his usual culturally sensitive way:

“Dwarves are the severed arm of a once mighty hero, lying in a pool of blood. Undirected. Whatever skill of arms it had, gone forever. Although it might twitch to give the appearance of life, it will never dream.“

And there is this codex entry, that imo strongly implies that Mythal somehow gave the dwarves some form of individual souls and intelligence. 

“I am empty, filled with nothing(?), Mythal gives you dreams. It fills you, within you(?), Making our leaders proud. My little stones, Never yours the sun. Forever, forever. “

I can’t currently remember if there were other codex entries about Mythal and dwarves, but I feel like maybe there were? Obviously the dwarves can’t dream in their current form (which the games are very good at forgetting), but they do have individuality, especially the surface dwarves.

That theory is already floating around, so I won’t go into detail because that would definitely be over the top for this post... (I think what exactly Mythal and Solas were doing with the dwarves will be a major lore reveal in DA:D, but they definitely seem to believe to have acted in the dwarves best interest. Solas is actually surprised not to find more trickster figures in dwarven lore. But that’s it’s own whole thing.)

ANWAYS! TL;DR: My theory is that giants are mindless because they used to be connected to the titans, same as the dwarves, but didn’t have individual souls bestowed upon them by Mythal and Solas like the dwarves. So they are just these empty giant husks walking and existing about the place in the form we see them.

Self-love Nico again because i say so - those times Nico finds solace from within his darkness.

Prv post about Self-love, Immortal Nico. Can be read separately tho.

More than anyone else, Nico should be able to find ease in his own powers.

Enough with the “Nico is scared of darkness”. He shouldn’t be afraid of himself, of his own essence, of what makes him him. No i don’t care if Underworld thing-ies are creepy or people are scared of them. They can suck it up because Nico is wonderful the way he is and he deserves to be free of judgement.

So now i’m here and fantasizing again.

- Nico was homeless after Percy returning after the quest without Bianca. He run away and was on his own since then. He was 10-year-old. How does a 10-year-old child - as innocent and fragile and lively as Nico was - survived on the filthiest streets of New York for months? -> My headcanon is because his powers subconsciously protected him. The shadows hiding him from any bad mortal. The ghosts reached out for him, leading him to where to get shelters and food, their whispers were the white noise to chase away the forlorn silence. Broken grounds and undead creatures torn him away from dangers.

That’a why Nico returned with the best grasp of his own powers, so powerful, so skilled.

- Darkness comforts him - the same way water heals Percy - because it’s his element and that’s where he belongs, yes Nico belongs to the dark because so what? Darkness doesn’t mean bad thing. It’s just that people always seem to crave the sun and automatically associate the lightless-ness with bad things. No it’s doesn’t. And Nico knows it, thus be able to pull out the best of it.

He finds its silence peaceful, not bleak. He finds its weight pulling on his eyelids relaxing, not suffocating. He finds the darkness serene. Calm. Undisturbed. The same way sleep recharges you and you wake up free from all the heavy shackles. Only within darkness can Nico close his eyes, give in to the call and rest, let it submerge him in tranquilness.

“The darkness is my birthright.”

- He sleeps more than normal people, partially of his natural abilities, partially of the fact that he has grown to love sinking into the darkness.

- He learns the way to grasp a hold of it. The good side wouldn’t hurt him. The bad side crushed under his feet. restrained. confined.

- Nico di Angelo revels in the dark. Shadows cling to his steps, weaving through his hair and wrapping itself around him like a blanket, a shield. Protective. Safe. A friendly and comforting presence.

- He brings darkness to wherever he goes. Not like an apocalypse, obviously, but like the tingling air settles down and the harsh sunlight dims a little. The shades darkened and everything seems to quiets down. Wistful. Melancholy, even.

- And his darkness can bring out the memories. The painful, scary ones - anguish and sorrows. Because one always has something to dump in the dark. To hide. To forget. But the shadows hold them all. Nico holds them all. And he can somewhat plunges you into the pool of your darkest secrets all over again.

- Whenever his emotions grow, it reflects on the shadows, too. They shimmer and swirl, bend and break, devour the light and pierce through everything that upsets/ angers Nico. If you hurt him, they would chase you to where even the light can’t tread, forever haunting, suffocating, tearing you apart before swallowing you whole.

- He sees the ghosts as an equal, with utmost respect and admiration. He treats them like how he would treat a normal person. normal. This is canon btw, Minos said to use animal blood and Nico insisted on Happy Meal - his favorite.

- Yes, he enjoys scaring the shit out of people with all the hiding-in-the-dark thing.

- Shadows has their own consciousness. Every shadow is a reflection of something, what they are and what they made of/ from. Nico sees it. And he made friends with them. He doesn’t automatically knows the person/ whatever. He only knows their shadows. But they can talk and move and touch him. Friends in his own world. One of a kind.

- Tartarus was all ashes and fire, the burning sensation shattered his skin and soul. His nightmares are painful. Vehement. Violent. Darkness was not. Darkness was static. Blinding. Numb. Still and cold. his mind could rest.

HIS BIRTHDAY IS TOO FAR BUT I can't remember if I sent the ask for him already though sooooo your sinfic on him

You give him his gift but it really wasn't the one he really wanted, those sad eyes again as he tried to convince you to go back to his room, you did agree to doing it again why not now then? It is his birthday afterall and he can already feel that wanting feeling bubbling in his stomach yet again

(This is for Kalim btw)

Oh, you’re just in time, Darling LOL This ask must be referring to the last Kalim Sinfic I wrote, so— birthday crumbs…cRumBS?? Pls this is just pure brain rot post with no plans whatsoever (￣∀￣)

He’s smiling as always as he received your gift, just a humble item that looked like something he would like, or possibly something that you made yourself, whichever of the two applies. But even as he thanked you for your hard work and effort, you felt as though he wanted to say something else. Normal Kalim would have a bigger smile than that after all, active and would even give you a hug in return, a kiss if he’s feeling extra enthusiastic.

But he’s oddly quiet about it, averting his eyes and scratching the back of his head, it was clear to you that he looked quite unsatisfied. At first, you thought it may be because your gift might have been too underwhelming, he did received tons of gifts prior to yours after all. What makes your gift more special than anyone else’s? A tinge of insecurity bubbles up inside you, to the point that you weren’t able to keep your mouth shut about it.

You can’t really ask if he wanted something else since you’re on a strict budget. Kalim’s a good person, so he surely wouldn’t ask of anything that would deliberately put you in a tight spot, but living in such a lavish lifestyle had surely raised his taste for things. So, with that out of the way, you ended up apologizing instead. Sorry that you weren’t able to give him a fancier gift and such, it actually came out way more pathetic than you would’ve wanted…But to your surprise, Kalim frantically denied all your assumptions of him being unhappy with your gift.

Shaking his head and moving his hands in denial because no, it’s not like he’s disatisfied or anything! It’s just that he was embarrassed, he admits very honestly, he was embarrassed because there was something else that he was expecting to receive from you and ended disappointing himself when you never even mentioned it. He laughs it off for expecting something that he knew wouldn’t come true, realistically speaking, but he clearly looks like he still wanted that certain something.

But of course, you were confused on what it is, so you pestered him about it. If it’s something that you can do right now, then you’d gladly obliged to get it for him, just what is it exactly? Kalim stared at you for a moment, his cheeks were becoming redder and redder by the second, his fantasies are probably in shambles and hesitating as we speak. But he leaned closer to your ear to whisper, seemingly secretive and cautious about everyone else that could be listening nearby…Like Jamil just behind that pillar over there.

“Then, would you come to my room please?” Seems simple enough.

But following him towards his room slowly made you realize that this “something else” was not as simple as you predicted it to be at all…Well, it’s not like you actually expected it to be simple in the first place so…But the moment you entered the room, Kalim quickly closed the door and a tiny click of a lock was ensured, making you turn around to see him stepping towards you in restless manner. Before you could even contemplate on what he was trying to do, he had already cupped your cheeks towards him and stole a kiss right then and there. It went all too fast, like your world just stopped the moment he looked like he turned into a different hornii person. He did it so shamelessly too, eager to just press his lips against yours as if its the most natural thing to do once you locked the doors behind you.

The next thing you knew, he’s casually taking his coat off in the heat of the moment, his tounge pushing itself inside your mouth and all. It took a while, but the moment your brain finally managed to refreshed back into awareness, you panicked and tried pushing him off. You weren’t thinking it was something malicious, is Kalim even capable of doing anything malicious? But you were confused, so you tried to give yourself some space, but no, Kalim fought back by pushing you down on the bed…He did pull away after a while though, once you stopped struggling and just let him do what he wants, panting with saliva slick from both your tongues.

“S-Sorry…I just…can’t help it…” Kalim apologized, biting his lip in guilt as he hovered above you. His eyes were shining and concerned, making a quick observation to see if you’re hurt anywhere from how rash he acted. “I appreciate your gift, I’m happy that you took all those time, I really am…! But I…I need something else…A-A different kind of gift, you know…?”

He gulped. “Hey, do you remember what you said before, when we were stuck in the lockers? You said if I do good and keep your secret, we’ll be able to…do that again…” He said, leaning forward in desperation due to the amount of effort he had to exert in order to hold himself back until this moment. It was difficult to ignore him as his crooked smile was pleading for your sympathy, your touch, everything. “I-I did good, right? No one found out and I—I kept my promise too, so…”

You squeaked as his large hands began to slowly massaged your chest through your clothes before laying his head down on it like a pillow. His cheeks were dangerously red, and you worry if he’s okay from all that blood going in his head, but his expression seemed so tranquil in this position actually. He looked like a child, using his puppy eyes to draw you in, but seemed giddier than before. “(Y/N)…” He whispered with a gentle smile. “…We’re in bed now, so…Please?”

“…Do it with me again.” He lifted himself up, coming close to your face and you can just see how his eyes swirls between love and lust at the same time as he looked down at you, excitedly. “That’s…That’s the best gift that only you can give…”

Just give Kalim that Darling Pussy™ Come on. It’s not that hard.
