Healing was perhaps the wrong turn of phrase; trapped in a sickly limbo between clarity and despair was perhaps more apt, where the mind was clear and the body was strong but the circumstance yields no use for either.

All sense of vengeance for a life lost was waning with each passing day, so swiftly being overridden by the insatiable need to simply survive, and even Cloud was not stupid enough to believe that he could do that by himself. There was no telling when these clear moments will come to an abrupt end, where he would once again be rendered useless and at the mercy of his unlikely saviour once more.

Where he would require more of that unorthodox treatment. That thought alone was enough to make the bile froth into his gullet then, enough to have him shoot the former SOLDIER's back a disdainful glare.

But even the hatred was not as strong today, as though the man he had travelled with was not the same man who had razed an entire town to the ground, as though he was not the one who destroyed everything he had ever known or ever loved in life; home, family, dreams.

Around and around, and around it goes, this perpetual loop of loathing and depreciation. What good had it done him so far other than gain him more pain, more truths of which he had not wanted to hear?

Too many. Too many.

Enough to notice the change, not enough to truly bring himself to care.

Cloud watches the guy leave, not bothering to follow, not feeling the drive nor the strength to leave the pedestal of this old rotten bed he'd claimed. And he leans against the cold damp wall of this former temple, finding a strange comfort in the chill of the stone against his cheek, eyes cast low, mood diving lower still.

He was not healing. He was merely succumbing. Which was worse?

Sephiroth instinctively did a double take, slowly, just as was turning away to leave the room. And there, without a word, he regarded the other going down on one of the old cots. Watching him sink down, the very picture of relief, somehow, even without any outward expression.

He was healing. No mistake should be made in thinking otherwise.

And deep inside, Sephiroth wished for nothing other than sharing that sensation. But for as sore as his own body felt, for as much rest his psyche begged after months of torment, his soul was still in the middle of a storm. And if felt as though the waves had only intensified the moment he'd stepped in.

The layout of the temple was something different, but he still remembered the patterns of the company's facilities. If he moved from the living quarters, then the archive room should be…

Green eyes shifted to the dusty, broken stone floor in a minute of reflection, before the former SOLDIER completed his turn and left through one of the doorways to the side.

Also, excuse my ugly brackets, they were really painful to make and the template thingies didn’t work properly.

Wait timmy isnt allowed in the human world, is hazels wish gonna cause him trouble?

Hrmm! Who’s to say? Timmy’s certainly displeased to hear about her discovering such a loophole!

Or maybe he’s just annoyed. I would be too if I discovered there was more work for me once I got back to my office.

I like that Benoit Blanc is in many ways a homage to previous fictional detectives, but he himself is not the central character. I think that’s what makes it fresh - the films focus on Marta and Helen, not his ability to detect and deduce which is something you can get in pretty much any detective story.

I feel like one of the things that gets missed a lot about Sonic and Amy's dynamic is that he isn't running because he's scared of Amy or hates her: Sonic runs because he loves running, and Amy chases because she loves Sonic and all he represents. She also clearly doesn't spend all her time chasing him: in Adventure 1 she's just lounging around in a city missing him and then he runs into her, in Heroes she's spending time with other friends of hers, etc.

Yes, she is more active in pursuing him than even other characters like Tails can be, and he can occasionally be overwhelmed by her pushy personality, but that doesn't equate to stalking or harassment. Sonic enjoys having her around- they're friends. To a certain extent, Sonic also clearly enjoys being chased by Amy.

Almost every moment that gets tossed around as her being abusive or terrible is some looney toons ass gag. Y'all can't seriously think she intended to kidnap and physically drag Sonic into a church to marry her just based off one awkward line in Heroes, can you? Regardless of whether you ship them or want them to be canon or not or find the jokes cringe or #problematic, their intended dynamic is not and has never been that of stalker and victim.

Also, another misconception about her is that people think her life revolves just around Sonic. Now, she was certainly created with him in mind (the creators wanted her to be a Minnie Mouse to Sonic's Mickey Mouse) but that's true of almost every character in the classic era. I'm not going to pretend CD presented a great dynamic between them, but starting as early as Adventure Amy had stories about standing up to Sonic, befriending other characters, actively redeeming multiple other characters/being one of the ones to help them, etc.

She's got multiple hobbies and friends outside of Sonic, she will stand up to him when she thinks he's doing something wrong: she has a life outside of Sonic.

Just because she wants her life to include him as well doesn't make her a one-note, lovesick fangirl stalker like she was so commonly seen as for so long!

Anyway. I just really love Amy Rose and also her dynamic with Sonic. It's been portrayed imperfectly at times, and there are definitely some moments where she was characterized horribly, but a) that's true of basically every major Sonic character and b) that doesn't wipe out all the good characterization and moments she's had over the years. She's always been a good character, and she's been growing and evolving over the years, just like a good character should. Her problem is mostly that she's been underutilized in games, and the solution to this is simply just to show more than one facet of her personality, not bashing that part of her or trying to take it away.

Spenser in "Crafting a Mystery with Spenser Starke": So Travis sent me a big, long narrative explanation of how he got into Candela. [...] He gave me a monster that essentially was trying to take on the form of other people, and he gave me the idea that Allison Suarez was hurt because of this monster. He gave me all the gifts in his backstory, and that's the kind of thing where as a GM, you just go, "Well, guess my work here is done."

{Starter for @corazcnes for Game/Main series Rayman}

Raymona seemed to be really busy as of late since the ordeal with Mr. Dark and Raymesis. From what the blonde hero has heard, she had been trying to patch things up between her and Raymesis. Today, Rayman would hear a knock on the door of his home. When he would answer it, he'd find Raymona with a picnic basket in hand.

"Hello, Rayman. I was wondering if you wanted to join me on a picnic out in the meadow. Just the two of us. I thought it would be a nice change and would give us a chance to catch up since I've been so busy lately. I really am sorry about that. I never stopped thinking about you."

i adored the eldritch cleo and voidwalker pearl ficlets so maybe… mayhaps.. eldritch pearl please?

(beware, mild rambling follows) it’s fascinating to see what elements of common characterization people keep vs get rid of when doing this fanon swap, and it’s making me reconsider how much of my perception has been filtered by these almost omnipresent ideas of species matched so closely to certain hermits. but i think it’s neat too, to see how cleo almost always retains some aspect of being a zombie, for example. x tends to keep his armour. it’s just. fascinating as… maybe a fandom study, in the vein of character studies. i adore all of this so much. also it’s wonderful to see how people are exploring the prompts!

At any given time, most of Pearl is not here. At least ninety percent, if she had to put a number on it, though she doesn't really like to do that, because it always feels strange, doesn't it, to try to quantify what she knows innately is not quantifiable.

The numbers aren't important. What's important is: most of Pearl isn't here. It's somewhere else.

"Okay, but where?" Gem says slowly. She's looking at Pearl like if she just stares hard enough, and tilts her head just right, she might be able to see the rest of her hiding behind her narrow shoulders and long neck. Pearl doesn't fault her- Gem, she's learning, has a tendency to map out threats, a habitual leeriness of predators- but she doesn't think she's going to get anywhere with it.

Pearl shrugs, looks up at the sky. "Up there, maybe? Or..." she kicks at the dirt, thinks of the hole that goes miles and miles down to bedrock. "Under there. Or both? I'm not really sure."

What Pearl is trying to explain to Gem is that sometimes, when she blinks, she loses track of herself.

The sensations of the world, as soon as they're not pressing up insistently against her mind and orienting her in space, are gone as if they never were. Sometimes she closes her eyes and forgets to open them again, because when the life and sound of the world fade from her mind it's the only time she can remember everything else, all the vastnesses of her true body and the comfortable blackness of its habitat.

One time Mumbo found her like that, standing at the edge of the Boatem Hole and humming to herself, right at the lip of the swallowing nothing that feels like home.

"It's like sleepwalking," Pearl says, finally. "No harm in it. Just a little scare sometimes."

"But that sounds dangerous," Gem says, brow furrowed. "What if something happened?"

Pearl waves it off. "I'm not worried about it," she says. "Someone always wakes me up before long."

Above, in the sky, the moon hangs.

Honestly, my biggest takeaway from the first two episodes of X-Men '97 is: Good for Morph. What a fuckin' comeback. They started out as the episode one sacrificial lamb OC back in the 90s cartoon and now look where they're at. Regular member of the team, full title card in the opening and everything. Came out as non-binary. Got a design update from 'John McRedshirt' to 'pretty butch lesbian.' Has genuinely been kicking a fair bit of ass. Created to die for pilot episode stakes and they've been crawling their way back ever since. What a soldier.

As much as she hated to admit it, she had fun. When Wally first asked her to accompany him to one of these functions she expected it to a joke. After he convinced her it wasn't a joke, she expected it to be boring. Expecting to just be his plus one and maybe leave a little early when no one noticed, not like anyone would have noticed. Oh, how wrong she'd been. Attending things like this in the past it had always been under the pretense of someone else, a goal in mind. The confidence she usually had in those situations was nowhere to be found as she tried to figure out who she was here.

Slipping away from her friends' side as he chatted with someone, she had intentions of slipping out and sending a message later about how she suddenly felt ill or something. That was the plan before someone struck up a conversation with her. Being polite, she suddenly found herself in a whirlwind of conversations, new acquaintances, and even some dancing. It was all something she hadn't planned on when getting ready.

It had been a while since she had worn heels and she'd be able to tolerate it for a while but now as the two walked to his car to find something to eat, she couldn't stand them. ❝ I don't know why I chose heels, ❞ Muttering she began to bounce from one foot to the other removing them so she was walking barefoot instead. They were close to his car anyway. She was about to ask about someone cute who had invited her to their bar but suddenly she was off the ground, a yelp escaped her as she was about to drive her elbow into whoever it was that was holding her when she realized it was Wally. ❝ Fuck, ❞ she said and instead wrapped her arms around his neck to keep from falling. Part of her wanted to be mad that he had done this, but her feet complained otherwise. With a small laugh, she added. ❝ Warn me next time, I almost broke your nose. ❞

🛋️ ( okay this from garak, but the first time it ever happens. like, pre-moving in together, where they're spending a lot of time in each other's quarters so may as well be living together but haven't quite crossed that line yet, and garak has never taken a random nap in julian's quarters before, until now )

Julian comes home sweaty and exhausted with a plan to shower off the residue of his 17-hour surgery, but he doesn't get more than a step inside before that plan is disrupted. "Garak?" With no response to quiet stimula, Julian is tempted to just let him sleep a little longer, but the couch won't do his back any favors.

He sighs, toes off his shoes at least, and moves to sit on the very edge of the couch where he can and set his hand on Garak's side. "Hey. Are you alright?" He is home later than expected, but they hadn’t had plans tonight, so Julian hadn't expected to see him. Has he been waiting? Or had something happened to his own quarters?

*thinking about the villains' tragic fates*

You know, their routes never really talk too much about their fates and how it effects them mentally. Or how the MC feels about it, and dealing with the fear and angst of it with the slight exception of William's route

I love Chuck E. Cheese's! They have so many iconic characters. Helen the hen, Chuck E. the rat, Jasper the dog... *Checks notes* Mr. Munch the alien... Uh... *Checks notes even closer* ... Pasqually the middle-aged Italian man.
