he looked adorable with his horns after his transformation, forced upon him by his rival, blade. everyone was playing cards, even welt, himeko and pom pom near the front of the express; at the front with the strange messenger that always stands near a portal... menacingly...

normally himeko and welt don't ever join in because you, march, and dan heng play late at night, when they're fast asleep. pom pom sometimes joins in at night, but rarely as they're typically busy patrolling the express and controlling it. this time though, you all played around 6 pm and you all were on the floor of the express.

pom pom was keeping score per usual, you were all playing spoons. there were 5 spoons laid out on the floor in front of you all, pom pom with a whiteboard next to them. welt and himeko were tied for first, dan heng in second, you and pom pom tied for third, and march in dead last. to be fair, this is march's first time, but she's doing well.

everyone had already gone for the other spoons except you and dan heng, even march. you were only one card away from winning, you had 3 jacks and you needed the last one. unfortunately, you were also sitting to the left of dan heng, and the game was going clockwise, so he receives the cards first. right as you were about to make your move and go for the spoon, so does mr. dragon horns.

as you reached for the spoon, so did he. his hand touched yours for a split second, he pulled his hand away first. he let you get the spoon though, so you took it, you ended up with fourth place. unfortunately, it was getting late for welt and himeko though. "i've been holding my pee... MAKE WAY!!" march screamed as she ran through the halls of the express, running past himeko and welt having a conversation, leaving you and dan heng alone with pom pom to clean up.

pom pom was about to say something to the both of you but they decided to just smile and walk away. great, now you had to clean up the whiteboard too... at least the game was fun, right? "you should've taken the damn spoon", you said. "why? your hand was on it first, was it not?" he replied while gathering the cards and handing them to you. you were cleaning the white board and the box for the cards was right next to you. "i got the white board, you can take care of the cards" dan heng suggested as he took a rag from the tables and started cleaning the white board instead.

"thanks, that was a pretty fun game. can we head back to your room? i'm bored and i have no idea how long march is gonna take in the bathroom." you said. "sure, wanna watch bleach or play honkai impact later?" he suggested. you nodded as you finished shoving the cards in the box with little care for the order of the cards.

he held his hand out behind him for you and made a grabbing gesture. assuming he wanted the box of cards, you put them in his hand. "i meant your hand, come on." he turned his head around and smiled slightly at you. you were screaming inside, you two were always close but sometimes you questioned whether he was simply just being friendly or being flirty, and whether or not he liked you. this feels like a flirty thing though, lowkey.

you took his right hand with your left hand and headed to his room. his room was close to the bathroom so you could hear some things going on in there, but you had no idea if march was in it or not as it was quiet in there. you didn't think much of it though and just kept following dan heng to his room. he shut the door behind him as you plopped on his bed before him and inhaled the scent of his bed. it smelled like a faint smell of sandalwood and another scent that you couldn't lay your finger on, but you just knew it smelled good.

"ok, wanna watch bleach now?" he asked as he walked to his bed and plopped down next to you. his bed was facing his tv, and you were both laying next to each other, both bodies under his covers. "i'm gonna go get some snacks for us, what do you want?" you asked. "i think a few snickers and some chips would be good, thanks" he replied. as you went to go to the kitchen to get the snacks, you ran across pom pom again.

you just waved at pom pom and they smiled in reply, you kept walking to the kitchen as you were thinking to yourself. he's so fine i wanna bite his dick off. alright.. that's a bit much... but he's so pretty and his little horns are adorable, i wanna touch them so badly... you made your way back to his room with your f/c in hand and acted as if you didn't wanna touch his horns a few seconds ago.

"here you go!" you placed the food in front of him on the bench in front of his bed as you did the same with your food. you were trying to get under the covers again next to him, scooting closer to him, hoping he wouldn't notice. but instead he put his arm around you. you smiled underneath him, now leaning on him a bit as you both watched your favorite anime.

you took a bite out of your f/c and drank your d/c next to him. it was comfortable and you really didn't want to move from him. you were watching the thousand year blood war arc as it had just came out, you both were at the scene where unohana was fighting kenpachi and you were so excited and almost screaming when you saw the scene as she was your favorite. dan heng's favorite was ichigo as ichigo reminded him of himself. he smiled seeing you being so excited.

they're so cute, i wish i could kiss them right now, he thought to himself while gazing at you. he wished he could live in this moment forever. "c'mere" he demanded... you were nervous for what he could want, and he didn't even pause the fight scene, you wanted to watch it. your eyes were glued on his tv while your face was right in front of his. unaware of how close you were to his face, you were shocked as he just kissed you. he kissed you. you were in shock. you had been wanting this moment the millisecond you met him. of course, you kissed him back as well. the kiss lasted for about 3 seconds.

he pulled away slowly first to see how you reacted. you were jaw dropped that he actually just did that, you wanted to pinch yourself and see if this was real, but you thought that would be cringe. he smiled at you, and you smiled back at him. "how long...?" you asked, you genuinely had no idea he liked you. well, maybe a small one, but you didn't believe it. himeko and march always said that they swear they catch him staring at you and how his eyes soften when he talks to you. now you know the truth, and you were so thankful that they were right. "the second i met you. you're so beautiful, and truly, you're my only friend. may i be yours?" he asked, in such a soft and loving tone. he's so perfect... "i've thought the same since i met you, and you can be mine. under ONE condition." you replied back immediately. you were giggling to yourself as you were trying to form the words to say this sentence.

"i get to touch your horns whenever i want." you said while laughing. he physically face palmed and let out a little laugh. "sure, whatever, love." he said as he went in for another kiss.

a/n: f/c means food choice btw and d/c is drink choice

Warnings: Possible suggestive themes. Caelus has uncontrolled daydreams. Posessive Dan Heng.

Chapter One - … Are my concerns.

"Caelus…" His golden eyes remained glazed over and unfocused, thousands of thoughts behind those empty eyes. "Caelus?" Dan hengs hand gently gripped his shoulder, attempting to jostle the younger out of his thoughts. Silence still followed, it felt heavy in the air. His hand gripped a little harder, worry now being etched onto his features. How was it so difficult to wake somebody from what appeared to be a momentary space out?

Shaking him a little, he moved to stand in front of him and ended up cupping his cheeks to try and get his eyes to focus on him. "Caelus, please. Wake up now." Dan Heng held his breath for a moment, worried that anything could stop him from waking up and out of whatever this is. It took a few moments more, but his golden eyes soon began to flutter shut and open again. His pupils contracted, returning to normal as he gathered his surroundings back in and exhaled.

"Oh. Dan Heng?" The older took a sigh of relief, exhaling and letting go of his face despite deep down something in him longing to stay. "When did you get here?" Did he not just realise that he was completely zoned out?

"I've been here for a bit. I came to get you, Pom-pom asked for your assistance." Caelus seemed visibly confused when he said he had been here for a little already; so he truly was out of it then. "But you seemed to be… daydreaming? Are you okay? Do you feel unwell perhaps?" His hand soon found itself back on Caeluses forehead checking his temperature. His eyes narrowed a little when he saw his cheeks heat up, a gentle shade of pink dusting his cheeks suddenly. Hm, funny. Could this be the start of a fever?

"Ah, no. I'm okay, sorry." He took a step back causing Dan Heng to lower his hand a little hesitantly. "It just happens sometimes. I-ill go see Pom-pom. Thank you for letting me know!" With that, he made his exit into the Parlor Car leaving Dan Heng within the hallway. Maybe he was a little stressed, after all a lot had happened to him lately. Caelus is a kind soul, a little too kind really. Running around for people non stop, working hard on other people's requests, protecting everyone and once dying for them only to be revived stronger. The memory still causes him to shake, throat going dry along with the sudden inability to swallow. No, we won't think of that today. Not when he is fine and well and right in there. Taking a breath in, he followed the previous steps that Caelus took to the parlour car, a little curious on what Pom-pom needed him for.

"So I'll just ensure the supplies arrive?" The trailblazers voice reached his ears as he stepped through, deciding to sit comfortably whilst waiting. It wasn't that he was eavesdropping per say, it was just that he wanted to ensure Caelus wasn't pushing himself especially with his suspicion that he may be getting a fever.

"Mhm yup! Thanks Caelus!!! This is why you're Pom-Pom's favourite!" A light chuckle came from the younger as he reached down to pat Pom-Pom's head. They only really allowed Caelus to get away with that, despite a pout occasionally.

"That's okay. I'll always be here if you need me." A light pause came before he stood back up straight and stretched. "Well I'll be off then! Better to do it now." Dan Heng immediately stood, going toward Caelus. "Oh hey! Are you coming too?" The little tilt of his head could have made his static expression melt then and there. He reminded him of Peppy, the little pup of Astas whenever he did that.

"If you'll have me then of course." Dan Heng kept his arms firmly folded over his chest, eyes staying upon his golden ones as Pom-pom rolled their eyes and moved away.

"Always! But are you sure you want to come? It's just a basic supply run kinda thing." Caelus shoved his hands into his pockets, mindlessly moving his foot around, eyes cast downward as if he were shy. Pom-Pom rather dramatically sighed before turning back around to face them both a little further away.

"Both of you go! Please! For the love of-"

"Now now, that's enough Pom-Pom~" Himeko from the far sofa spoke, grinning as she read through her book. Caelus jolts, focused back on the task and nodding quickly.

"Right Pom-pom! Sorry!" Dan Heng also utters a light apology, coughing a little into his fist as a blush dusts his cheeks.

"Right then, shall we go?"

Both stay quiet until they leave the Astral Express, Caelus immediately stretching and beginning to walk the way. He hadn't really been alive… Or would the word be conscious? Regardless, he hadn't been either for long. What has it been? A matter of months now? Despite the connection between them all being strong like a family already. And somehow, despite the few months he had known Caelus - the dragon within him knew that he was the one. That Caelus was his and his alone. Though that feeling of possessiveness was something Dan Heng tried to push down, he didn't want to frighten him; he decided a while ago that he would pursue the 'normal' courting method that humans tend to lean toward and not the dragonic instincts that claw at his throat.

"Dan Heng?" That gentle honey coated voice he had grown to adore pulled him out of his thoughts, gaze immediately returning to him rather than the floor.

"Ah, my apologies, Caelus. Were you saying something?" Caelus began to fiddle with his sleeves a little and shook his head, continuing to lead the way through the larger halls of the space station.

"No, I just got worried. You seemed… Uhm-" Dan Heng chuckled a little bit, amused by Caelus trying to think of the correct word.

"Spaced out? Dazed? Stuck in my thoughts? Yes. You're right, I apologise." He drew in a breath as Caelus registered the terms. "I was just thinking about a few things."

"Is that what it's called?" Caelus ignored his curiosity to what Dan Heng was thinking about, his desperacy to discover the right term seemed to outweigh that.

"Hm? Spacing out?"

"Yes… I think. When you're suddenly not like where you were anymore? You're somewhere completely different and you can think of anything you want and you'll be there. You know like uhm-"

"Ah. Daydreaming." The younger's eyes lit up, the word finally feeling right. "Is that what happened earlier? When you seemed unresponsive to my calls of your name?" He simply nodded, gazing away and tugging at his own sleeve a little more. "Does it happen often?" Caelus nodded once more, eyes meeting him finally. Dan Heng found it difficult not to melt right there and then at such an innocent gaze.

"Yeah… I- ever since I woke up I keep… Daydreaming. It happens when I don't want to, and it's making things difficult sometimes I just go on auto pilot and-" Dan Heng soon grew worried at the rambling, the younger now borderline panicking. Dan Heng took his hand, gently bringing him into a quiet storage space and crouching down with him."Breathe, Caelus." He began to rub soothing circles onto his hand, trying not to overwhelm him. "I'm here, I promise it's okay. It's understandable you've been daydreaming like that - a lot has happened to you in such a short amount of time." Tears were now brimming at his golden eyes threatening to fall. Dan Hengs mind was screaming at him to comfort what was his - but he shoved the intense sensation away as much as he could. "Look at me, Caelus, focus on me. I will keep you safe okay? It's okay to have these daydreams, we will all keep an eye on them for you, yes?" Caelus nodded, sniffling and rubbing his eyes a little harshly. At this, Dan Heng moved his hands away from his eyes and instead gently wiped away the tears that had fallen. "Be gentle with yourself, okay? After this task for Pom-Pom, I want you to relax until our next destination, okay?"

"I can't, I'll be useless. I- you've all already taken me in, I need to show that I'm capable and-" A finger was now against his lips.

"Caelus you make this very difficult." He gave him a light glare, though he could tell it was playful and not at all very threatening but it was enough to keep him quiet for now. "You do so much for us all, you saved March don't you remember? You've saved so many people and helped Jarilo-VI so much. Not to mention the recent events in Xianzhou Luofu. Please give yourself a break. I assure you that you need it and deserve it and the express will be so over the moon to see you taking that break and finally relaxing." The tears had slowed, now a light smile was playing on his lips.

"Will it really make them happy?" Dan Heng sighed, crossing his arms back over his chest but his gaze remained gentle.

"Yes, it will. But I want you to do this for yourself too Caelus. Now come, let's get this over with yes?" Reaching his hand out, Caelus didn't hesitate to take it. Once stood, Dan Heng gently wiped away the rest of the tears if any remained and once ready - they both left and continued the task at hand which shockingly was a lot more tiresome than he first thought. Everyone seemed to want Caelus to do something for him, even his phone had a few notifications of a few requests. "Do they ever leave you alone and allow you to rest?" Dan Hengs voice cut through his focus as he hummed a little in thought. "If you're asking if every day is like this then yes. But it's okay, I promised I'd help." There he goes again, his mate- ahem, friend being more than kind to anybody he crossed paths with. Though it was adorable to see, it angered him that people weren't giving him even a moment to breathe. I mean, it had to be a joke of Some sort? Yes, Pom-Poms request was fine, but somehow it got them both wrapped up in a love story of some sort? Honestly, why can't people communicate? And then that turned into another thing before they reached their current predicament which was finding Peppy. Somehow, Asta got preoccupied and Peppy wandered off. Now Caelus is beneath a table crawling around trying to coax her out whilst Dan Heng watches in between his own search despite looking around a little less than eager. Caelus however continues to Crawl across the room, peeking under tables and the chairs. Once his eyes zoned in on the modern looking trash can and he began to stand to go and rummage through it, Dan Heng decided to step in no matter how he almost swayed to let him because of that happy shine within his eyes.

"No, Caelus." The words were simple, but the way Caelus immediately dropped back down to his knees with a pout was enough to shake the recently woken dragon within him.

'Our mate. Look how well he responds to our command. Look how he listens so prettily...' Dan Heng shook his head immediately trying to rid of those thoughts, that voice - the urge that was barely being held at bay. Caelus blinked up at Dan Heng, a pout still evident upon his face. "We already spoke about this, didn't we?"

"Yeah... It's dirty. Sorry, Dan Heng." A slight smile fell on his lips at how sheepish the younger's behaviour was.

"Don't apologise. Let's keep looking, yes?" A while later, they had finally found Peppy who had found a rather nice corner to sleep in undisturbed only for its rest to be disturbed by an overly affectionate trailblazer. Soft words were continuously being spilled from his lips as his fingertips fluffed the soft fur, gliding through to hear the cute barks from the small puppy. Dan Heng waited awhile, not wishing to rush him either as he was truly smiling and for once free of any concerns. Though, with time seemed to grow jealousy to Dan Hengs shock. The dragon within him seemed to growl a little as after all that attention should be on him and him only. 'Look at that gorgeous smile and those sweet words. That should be for us.'

"Uhm, Dan Heng? Are you okay?" His eyes snapped upward, meeting the golden ones that held so much concern for him. Wait, did he growl outwardly? The low sound confused that as he gasped and cleared his throat.

"I- uhm, sorry. Ignore that." Turning his face away, heat rose to his cheeks and he missed the way that Caelus knowingly laughed a little.

"Come on, Peppy, I'm sure Asta is waiting for you. Right Dan Heng?" Caelus was about to scoop Peppy up, but instead they decided to lead the way with Caelus chasing after it, gripping Dan Hengs sleeve in a last second decision. He couldn't help but laugh at Dan Hengs confused face as they continued to run through Hertas space station trying to avoid any of her puppets as neither of them are exactly in the mood to get scolded for running and being a little reckless.

"You found Peppy!" After a bit of running, they finally arrived back with a very eager Peppy nuzzling against Asta who didn't hesitate to lift them up and snuggle them. "Thanks you two! Oh where did you go my lovely?" Asta proceeded to melt over Peppy as Caelus filled her in.

"Peppy was taking a nap actually! You were all snuggled up weren't you bud?" Dan Heng was subconsciously biting his lip in irritation, he was reaching the limit on how much of Caeluses time he could share. In all honesty though he had reached that limit a long while ago.

"Awh you were huh? Well thank you both again. Here! Take this as well." As Asta shoved over a handful of credits they heard ArIan call out from a bit away who appeared to be rapidly approaching at the sight of her passing a ton of Credits away.

"Miss Asta!" The warning tone didn't go unnoticed by her as she panicked a little.

"Ah, quick take them and go! Believe me I have much more and you deserve it!" Dan Heng didn't hesitate to nod and bid a quick farewell to her and reach for his hand. Human courting be damned for the day! He swears he could no longer share Caelus with anybody else. Once he felt the familiar warmth of his hand within his own, he began to walk with him back toward the express with a newfound determination. Dan Heng hadn't forgotten about the earlier concern over the possibility of his Caelus having a fever either, so that was all the more reason to get him home and in his nest safe. No other motive at all - he just wanted him safe and under his protection. Caelus had given a gentle squeeze to his hand which was immediately comforting, though that was soon shattered by the call of his mates name.

"Caelus! Caelus!" The voice was already beyond irritating, everything was just so bothersome. "I'm sorry to bother you but can I please ask for a favour!" Caelus gave that sweet apologetic smile to him before taking a breath about to utter his response which Dan Heng presumed would be the usual ' Yes' followed by 'what do you need?'.

"Ye-" Callus began before Dan Heng gave a light squeeze to his hand and took the responsibility of responding for him.

"No. We must take our leave now." They soon began their rather rushed walk back to the express with Dan Heng ignoring the person's pleas to assist them on another basic and meaningless task that could easily be handled alone. He paid no mind as Caelus threw an apologetic glance over his shoulder as they finally made it back to the express. The familiar sound of the door shutting behind them shouldn't have been as comforting as it was.

"Ah, Dan Heng-'' It was quiet apart from his gentle voice, that was the only sound that truly soothed him besides complete silence. "I'm sorry I dragged you around all day doing all of that work I wasn't thinking. I promise you didn't have to stick with me! I'm really sorry for bothering you so much." That soft tone in his voice tore at his heart, he didn't upset him once. It was only the idiots asking too much of his mate and not once giving him a moment's rest.

"You didn't upset me, I promise. If anything, I prefer your company no matter what it is we're doing." That all too familiar shade of red creeped up his beloved's cheeks at his words. "Please do not apologise. I am only angry at people who continue to get you to do all of their work. You're too kind hearted." Dan Heng didn't once let go of his hand, noting that the express was thankfully quiet meaning everybody had gone out.

"I don't mind. It makes them happy! Besides, it means you guys won't be bothered either." Dan Heng couldn't help but chuckle at his response, glad to be finally reaching the archives that was still dubbed as Dan Hengs room.

"Again, you're too kind, Caelus. Now come and relax with me, you won't be disturbed here." Any protests the younger had rapidly died in his throat as he was pulled into the room. Dan Heng went over to where the singular blanket and pillow were kept and began to mumble under his breath.

"This won't do. Wait for me here okay? Get comfortable." Caelus could only dumbly nod as Dan Heng rushed out of the room. Now he was alone, he could finally feel his heart starting to calm down. He couldn't help but always feel his cheeks heat up and heart rapidly speed up in his presence. He did go to Himeko about it once, fearing he may be unwell but she was quick to reassure him and comfort him whilst explaining that what he described sounded a lot like love. He loved Dan Heng. Upon the realisation, or epiphany as March would have worded it if she knew, he grew embarrassed and left the room at the time. Now though… Now maybe it was okay to indulge in this feeling more.

Gazing back at the blankets, he noticed how heavily the room smelled of Dan Heng, it made him feel so warm and safe. Nothing could get him here, he was protected. Crouching down, he allowed himself to wrap the blanket around himself and breathe the scent in while settling on cuddling the pillow rather protectively against his chest. He felt his eyes flutter shut and the feeling of all of the stress accumulated from his journey thus far melt away. Being too busy breathing in the comforting scent of Dan Heng, he didn't hear the door once again open and this time lock behind the other. Blankets, pillows and spare clothes belonging to Dan Heng were bundled in the olders arms. Caelus also missed the low sound of what resembled a purr coming from his chest at the sight of his mate wrapped in what was his and no longer smelling of anyone else's scent.

"Oh my mate, how perfect you look wrapped in what's mine." The trailblazers eyes blinked open, tilting his head to the side like a puppy would.

"Hm? Mate?" His voice was heavy with sleep, something Dan Heng seemed to adore despite all rationality leaving his head upon seeing Caelus so safe and warm in what belonged to the dragon. Ah yes, he forgot Caelus wouldn't realise what that term meant. What a perfect teaching moment.

"Yes, mate." He paused, making his way over and beginning to delicately position the materials he obtained from his other room. "You know I'm a Vidyadhara, yes? In your terms, a 'dragon'?" Another cute nod followed, ashen toned strands of hair falling over those golden orbs. Dan Heng didn't hesitate to reach out and brush them away as he continued to speak. "You are my mate, my beloved, my treasure, and I intend to keep you here safe and sound where I can completely dote upon you and only you. My dragon has chosen you, Caelus. You are mine." The silence would be worrying to some, but Dan Heng saw Caelus was thinking like before. "Come back to me, my love. What's going on behind those eyes of yours?" A blush and three words confirmed what they were.

"I love you."

Deku briefly mentions in a conversation with Uraraka that Spinner wants to write a book about the LoV

Uraraka thinks about it for a while and decides to reach out and arrange a meeting with Spinner

Spinner is skeptical about meeting another hero kid for obvious reasons

However he remembers that Toga had deep feelings for Uraraka, so against his better judgement decides to accept her visit

(dunno if he would be in a hospital or prison, the series was kinda vague on Spinner's whereabouts post his talk with Deku so let's say he's still recovering in the hospital)

When they meet the mood is obviously tense

Uraraka tells Spinner she heard that he wants to write a book and offers to help him with it

When asked about it, Uraraka says that there's two main reasons why she wants to help

One, since the cameras died that day, the only person who knows how the final fight between Uraraka and Toga went is Uraraka herself

She wants Toga's story to be known

And two, she knows that Spinner is never gonna get that book published in a million years

Destro's book was the cornerstone of the creation of the Meta Liberation Army, so she doubts that a book about the LoV would see the light of day

Especially after how much the media tried to not humanize Shigaraki after the war

Uraraka couldn't do anything to save Toga, but she at least can try to do something to help the people she loved most

And as a prohero who fought on the front lines during the last war she knew her word held some power

Enough power to get that book published at least

After some thought, Spinner decides to accept the offer and the two begin working on the book

Uraraka decided to remain anonymous so she wouldn't steal Spinner's thunder for when the book releases

her main contributions to the book were the chapters about Toga anyway

During the whole book writing and publishing ordeal, Spinner and Uraraka become somewhat friends

Not really besties-besties, but they do text each other every now and then, making sure that he and Compress are doing alright

one of their fondest moments being when Uraraka tells him about her heart to heart with Toga, and Spinner tells her about Shigaraki and what brought them two and the LoV together

After the book is published, pro hero Uravity always brings it up during public appearances

saying it is the most accurate portrayal of what happened that day when she fought Toga

and perhaps the most accurate portrayal of what led the League of Villains to become the League of Villains

It's how she kick-starts her program about better quirk counseling

[endlesslytired]

to finish this absolute madness I'm dealing with trying to put these together I give you the ones I forgot to add bc I lost them or didn't feel like worked right yet I still like, plus ones that I just had no place for at all. (aka solo topaz stuff)

bonusss, I wrote this very early on into playing hsr and realised this would be really neat to make in the maker. it's not much of a meme but a funny idea on stuff Kafka could have done.

Episode 143 - 146

Himeko Hariyama AKA Belphegor

[cptnghoulowl]

So I've been playing Star Rail and from what I've seen, basically the main trio are SIBLINGS. I love them.

[gold-rhine]

like in the final battle himeko goes "witness the will of the weak!" which is a very badass line, but it absolutely doesn't fit bc. himeko you do understand that by sunday's standards you are in fact the select strong who should decide for the weak, right? you guys are like 4 people deciding the fate of the planet that you visited for like 2 days. you are literally proving his point that the strong decide for the masses, you just proved that you're stronger than he is in a fight.

[cadaverjuices]

scandinavians in hoyoverse. gross

ugh

sampo, he/him, himeko, she/her, and welt, he/him.

below has animal harm mentions! its for a silly joke but. [also this is why it has diluc/kaeya tags]

diluc, he/him, and kaeya, he/him.

[baeshijima]

hmm...

hmmmmmmm...

[rubywolf0201]

Ruan Mei mention in Himeko and Welt’s conversation.

Wonder how would she interact with these two offscreen.

[mynameis-a]

NOBODY SUGGESTED YOU GET INTO BED WITH KAFKA?!?!?!?!

[molination]

so yknow how fu hua always had survivor's guilt because she thinks she hasn't done what she could have done. what if in hsr, (assuming marshal hua is fu hua and she retains her memories) there is some supernatural thing ending the hsr world and at that moment she sacrifices herself (i know nothing about hsr).

like here is the scenario, himeko drives the star rail to that supernatural thing to k word it by exploding the star rail on it, but that means she k words herself. fu hua can't handle the fact she is going to send another himeko to her death so she temporarily intercepts the train, gets himeko to safe ground, and conducts the train to sacrifice herself instead and there nothing you can do about it. then you hear her last words over the comms talking about how kiana saved her once, referring kiana as a brave compassionate girl, and also say something how she used to be so weak and helpless and all her life she did what she told to do and not what she was meant to do. Then her speech ends with her bitterly saying that she doesn't believe in second chances.

i don't want himeko to die in star rail not just for the obvious reason of "not wanting her to be dead", but also bc no matter how it's done there will unavoidably be comparisons to final lesson in hi3rd, and i don't think they can make that parallel without it coming off as a cheap callback. himeko's death in hi3rd was significant for reasons integral to the plot and kiana's character arc and you can't really try to re-do that in a new universe without stripping the context and emotional weight that made it work in the first place. it would feel like they're killing her off just for the sake of the reference, which would REALLY suck

even my own feelings aside, i don't think that they will kill her bc she has such a different role and place in the narrative than hi3rd himeko. the latter was a tragic figure from the beginning- we knew she was already doomed to die from the artifical stigma, we knew she had lost her squad and mentor at a young age, we knew she wouldn't reach the stars like her dad inspired her to, we knew she was never going to find true love like she wanted. her sacrifice was her embracing her fate and choosing to die on her own terms, for the sake of kiana and her other students. star rail himeko is still a mentor-figure, but riding the astral express and following akivili's path of the trailblazer is the fulfillment of her dreams in both universes. she's the version of himeko who was able to achieve what the other could not. star rail is literally the "better ending" that hi3rd himeko didn't get, and ripping her away in the middle of it would be a waste of her character and disregarding how much it means across the series that she IS alive

You know, maybe they actually would’ve solved this whole project stigma debacle 3 chapters ago if they stopped bringing up philosophical non-sequesters and just spoke bluntly about the facts for 5 god damn minutes
