“They are different from Us!” The people at the microphone cried.

They called Them:

Obviously alien

Easily identifiable

Definitely Dangerous

The people agreed nodding their heads. That they would surely know on sight who was Us and who was Them.

They would keep Us and Them Separate and in doing so keep Our children safe.

—

Two boys play by the railroad tracks.

As the sun sets, their mothers come

And trading friendly smiles,

call their children home

Only a few feet apart the women never notice

Only inches away the boys never care

Yet one was Us and one was Them

But if that were true, surely we would have seen Them

Surely we would have known

They will play together again tomorrow

‘I have become something wonderful, she thought.

I have become something terrible.

Was she now a goddess or a monster?

Perhaps neither. Perhaps both’

the children yearn for the winter get me out of this heatwave hell

Sinegard era!

Side note: what color is the sinegard uniform 😭😭😭 I made them white bc Rin mentions they made her white lore armband out of leftover uniform fabric + white makes the most sense for students?? But I have no idea

i will NEVER stop talking about “you’re hurting me”. there couldn’t have been better or more devastating last words for kitay. for so long he endured the pain every time rin called the fire. he never said anything. rin saw how much he was hurting, constantly asked him if he wants her to stop, but he always said no, always said he was fine because he never wanted to deny her anything. because he knew how important the fire was to her. the only time he denies her is at the very end, when rin loses her mind. and even then, at her worst, as she tries to overpower kitay, the SECOND he says “you’re hurting me” she stops. and not only does she stop, but it stops her descent into madness and she has one final moment of clarity. because “rin couldn’t hurt kitay and not worry about it. if she could, she’d be lost.”

Rin x Nezha / TDR Fanart

They continuously break my heart every single day.

.

“You poor thing,” she said.

“What are you talking about?” he asked.

She just hugged him tighter. She didn’t want this moment to end. She didn’t want to have to go. “I just don’t want the world to break you.”

rin 😄 and rin 😟

[merrygoesaround]

somewhere out there chaghan heard the news of fang runin’s death through the talks of the markets. he stops to ask them what they know, and they tell him she died on speer, by the side of chen kitay, and at the hand of yin nezha. he understands that she is gone—that he is the last of the cike, and he has never felt lonelier.

I have loved you since I met you Through every name, and every change, Born anew

I have loved you

Dearest friend of mine I have held in my heart a love, And a hope and a prayer for you

I have watched you struggle and watched you shine And wondrous before me You shine

To my eyes You are full of love, and full of life

It is a Joy to know you To love you as a friend

To know you - to have met you - Has left a mark on my life that will last forever

You have been a part of the shape of me The past I would never dream to change Because through trouble and through trial I have still had joy from knowing you

I have loved you since I met you And it is with Joy - with Celebration - I know I will never be the same.

something about rin being betrayed by everyone in her life and in her final moments turning against the only person who would never betray her because that’s all she’s ever known (they make me go insane)
