眠気がずっと治まらな�� 休み明け憂鬱月曜日 ふと目をやったスマホの中 呟きが溢れてる

「今日も朝からしんどいな」 「ずっと夏休みが良いのにな」 叶わない願いが流れてく

すべてが完璧な人にはなれないから どうしようもないこと愚痴ったら そろそろ出かけようか

今日も世界の片隅で 頑張っている君が居るなら (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 一緒に手を挙げよう

きっと僕らはいつもこうやって 一喜一憂泣き笑いして (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 毎日を生きて行く　だからさ

(123) 勢いでいいから (123) 数えたらドアを開けよう  そしたら何となくさ いける気がしたんだ

楽しくなって笑う朝 泣き腫らして瞼擦る夜 そりゃ生きてれば色々あって 付いてくので精一杯

だからほんの些細なことでいい 昨日より上手に出来たこと 「よくやった」って 自分を褒めてみよう

案外単純で素直な僕等だから ほんの少しの言葉で 未来は色を変える

今日も何処かの街角で 泣き出しそうな君が居るなら (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 一緒に笑い飛ばそう

きっと僕らはいつもこうやって 感情ばっか浮き沈みして (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 毎日を生きて行く だからさ

(123) 心の中で (123)数えたら前を向こう 独りじゃないってことをさ 君に伝えたいんだ

気まぐれな天気みたいに 僕らの心は変わる 突然雨が降ったり 時には嵐だったり

誰かに打ち明けたり 思い切り褒めてあげたり 胸の中の自分自身 大事にしながら行こう

今日も世界の片隅で 頑張っている君が居るなら (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 一緒に手を挙げよう

きっと僕らはいつもこうやって 一喜一憂泣き笑いして (Wow Oh Wow Oh) 毎日を生きて行く だからさ

(123) 勢いでいいから (123) 数えたらドアを開けよう そしたら何となくさ 大丈夫な気がしたんだ

English Translation:

A gloomy monday, back from holiday When the drowsiness never goes away I look at my smartphone Overflowing with tweets

“It’s been tiring all day” “I wish everyday was summer holiday” Their unfulfilled wishes keep on flowing

Because people can’t be perfect at everything So they complain about things that can’t be helped Maybe it’s about time i go out

Today, in a corner of the world again If you’re there, trying your best (Wow Oh Wow Oh) Let’s raise our hands together

We’ll always be this way Through joy and sorrow, we laugh and cry (Wow Oh Wow Oh) We keep on living through everyday, so

(123) No need to worry (123) Let’s open the doors One way or another I feel like it’ll go well

Mornings where we laugh and have fun Nights where we rub our eyes and cry As long as We keep on living, there are many things to see, so let’s give it our all

See, even the little things are okay Let’s try and praise ourselves “Good job!” for the things we do better than yesterday

Our surprisingly naive, honest selves Can change the color of the future with just a few words

Today, at a street corner somewhere If you’re there, feeling like crying (Wow Oh Wow Oh) Together we’ll laugh it off

We’ll always be this way Emotions all over the place (Wow Oh Wow Oh) We go and live through everyday, so

(123) Within our hearts (123) Let’s face forward I want to tell you that you’re not alone

Our hearts are changing like a moody weather Like sudden rain falls and the occasional storm

Opening our hearts to someone Praising ourselves to our heart’s content Let’s go and treasure ourselves inside our hearts

Today, in a corner of the world If you’re there, trying your best (Wow Oh Wow Oh) Let’s raise our hands together

We’ll always be this way Through joy and sorrow, we laugh and cry (Wow Oh Wow Oh) We keep on living through everyday, so

(123) No need to worry (123) Let’s open the doors One way or another I feel like it’ll be alright

I'm on chpt20 and I want to study SQQ like a bug. My man is flushed, hair down, robes literally falling off his shoulders, LBH on his lap playing with his hair and kissing him... and he finally cottons on to the fact that maybe this isn't how you have a platonic and important discussion. Enforces it for all of five seconds at which point LBH starts massaging his waist and SQQ is back to being like "yeah this is fine and normal". Amazing. Can't believe he insults the IQ of SQH's characters.

she would've told them unlike her canon! version who decided not to be an ally smh

i still can't get over the moments where he sometimes drops his typical chuuni medieval warrior vocab and talks like a valley girl

erased from history

In this story, Ancient Egypt is not at its best: a prolonged drought has led to crop failure and famine, weak power has led to robberies and looting. The people blame yet fear the sick pharaoh who finds a solace in the pardoned soldier... 𓁈𓀎

on the one hand I think inner demons could stand to have a bit more romanced rook specific content, but on the other hand the underlying in-built implication that 'yours is the one true voice of comfort and safety in my inner world' is a sentiment and intimacy so way beyond the romantic or the platonic or any secret third thing you could care to name that it makes me lose my entire poor little mind a bit. it's so big and fundamental — near-existential — that in that exact moment at least the distinctions kind of seem irrelevant.

all the people lucanis' mind conjures up along the way are relationships he has that are unavoidably mixed and fraught in some ways even when they're also full of love (they are fraught BECAUSE they're full of love) — the good in them inseparable from things that hurt him at the same time. (it's about: the basic disorganized attachment patterns this poor guy is dragging around with him. careful with those, they're dellamorte heirlooms. what you love also inevitably hurts you and you won't be allowed to have one without the other, you have to surrender parts of your soul to hold on to what little you have left: this is the story up until now.) and the idea that rook isn't that to him — that beneath the fear of wanting them when romanced (which is more its own separate thing because within this psychology, actively wanting something and not just clinging on for dear life to even a meager status quo lest you lose it is in itself dangerous bordering on catastrophic), this is a relationship where there isn't resentment, or guilt, or shame, or dread, or rage, or self-hate, or any of the other emotions that keep him paralyzed, unable to move this way or that. no debts, nothing owed of yourself and your soul's substance except what you can freely and safely and happily give. love and freedom don't coexist — but, I mean, you're almost starting to make me think........... unless...👀👀👀. the unconditional and undramatic 'you are here and I am here with you, you can be exactly how you are right now with me and it's safe for us both even though you're afraid it won't be, I'm not going anywhere' acceptance rook shows him here that he returns to them in the big romance scene, when it's rook who needs it. the way he's just. standing there in the center of it all, like a child desperately helplessly waiting to be found, hiding in the place he hopes you'll know to look first. (rook does know. it's one of the first things they say in there.)

in short the most important room in his little mind palace for the romance is the very first room — the one where rook isn't. where, in fact, rook cannot be, because they disprove the entire structure of the place with their existence and presence in his life. with everyone else he's putting words in their mouths about what they think of him, and rook is the one who actually gets to come in to speak their own words to him — and have him listen. ('he'll listen to you, he always listens to you', 'your voice is a comfort'.) of course rook isn't present anywhere else in there — at the risk of stating the obvious to a tedious degree, they aren't one of the locks, they're bringing the key. in the very finest 'the messenger and the message' sort of way.
