#motifs… dies

[zeebreezin]

Isobel sacrificed her eyesight to the Dawn Machine and the fallout from that is what lead to her visionary ideas for the future.

Vincent’s original sense of self was taken from him, and he then preceded to spend the rest of his life doing just that to others.

Laurence in a very literal sense tore out ‘new life’ - his Hell scarred roses - in order to build a new life on the Grand Geode.

And if you’re considering him to be real - Harbinger!Beverley lost an arm in the process of becoming the Clockwork Sun’s bringer of destruction, its metaphorical sword arm.

Symbolism…

I should write something about the horrible throuple but. I have too many thoughts about them.

metamy is insane. like.

what if i was the hero you loved gone wrong. defeated and destroyed. rebuilt as my own greatest enemy. what if i lost everything. what if i had been reprogrammed to despise all i had once fought for. what if i couldn't even remember why i had fought at all.

and what if you were made of roses. what if you represented every beautiful thing i once died trying to protect. what if you wore flowers in your hair and cared for small creatures and had eyes the color of the forests i used to call my home. what if you were everything i once loved.

those memories are just out of my reach. infuriatingly. maddeningly. but if anyone knows who i am (who i used to be) it's you. if anyone can make me feel like who i used to be (who i really am) it's you. i can't speak, i can't breathe, i can't remember anything (but you).

you are the world i have been ordered to burn. i am the weapon you have chosen to resist. i was (am) the hero that you loved.

you are my only memory.

i will do anything to make you believe me.

[ID: gifs from episode 20 of the series "Mysterious Lotus Casebook." Fang Duobing points to Di Feisheng and says angrily, "If it weren't for me, you would still be lying in a coffin with Yi Cunhong, who had maggots on her body!" Di Feisheng smiles and looks down. Fang Duobing continues, "You caught me off guard before. But now, my Erya sword is very lonely. Let's have a battle." Li Lianhua steps forward and stops him before he can attack Di Feisheng. He pulls him backwards, saying "Enough. I cooked a new dish today. Let me take you to try it." Fang Duobing points at Di Feisheng and says, "Who are you saying has bad martial arts?" Li Lianhua continues pushing him out of Lotus Tower, saying, "Stop talking." /end ID]

​A little part of me thinks they let Kai learn rising dragon first as an apology for him repeatedly losing his powers throughout seasons 11-15

god Mr. Heartland is such an insane yugioh character, I love him so fucking much. He’s so SO funny. He’s like if Maximillion Pegasus had political authority and actually WAS like 42 and then also ended up working for Satan From the Bible. He was taking children in off the streets and training them in underground duel Endurance Rooms until they dropped and he did this for YEARS and nobody stopped him. He fell in a portal and went to Hell. He got turned into a fly by an alien teenager who was also his boss. The city he was mayor of thought he was dead so they built a gigantic memorial in his honor. He became one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He’s part alien-bug monster. He looks like a yassified businessman half the time.

he’s great

More dnd writing because it's all I have but I here's a snippet from a vignette I did of Rook's past (from Zara's POV), because Rook and his mentors never fails to make me sick (/pos).

[transcript under the cut]

Taking a coin out of her pocket, she rolled it across her knuckles, back and forth. It gave her hands something to do, and prevented the urge to bite her nails, something she hadn’t done in years. Ten minutes passed, then twenty. Zara began to pace as Rook’s breathing grew shakier and the color drained from his skin. Where the hells is Jay? she wondered. The room was so quiet that she could hear every tick of the small clock on her bedside table, and each one echoed in her head. How many ticks does he have left? She didn’t want to think about it.  She’d had crew members die before, of course. You don’t go as many years as a captain as she had and never lose a soul. But all the others who had died had died quickly, in combat. She’d mourned for all of them, even shed tears in private, but there was something different about watching the life drain out of a person right in front of your eyes.
