#novas thoughts and ramblings

I think people forget that NSFW doesn't just mean sex. Graphic violence and gore are also NSFW. If you wouldn't want your boss to see it over your shoulder then there's a good chance it could count as NSFW.

For the OTP + self ships asks, 2 or 51 (or both!) for whatever ship you wanna pick :0)

yeehaw free reign! i'm in an amberfield mood today so

2: What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

Max is the teddybear type who'd quietly offer hugs and tea/hot chocolate. she'd manage to deescalate things pretty quick & be curious enough to ask what it was about at least once, but wouldn't push it if Rachel's being cagey about answering.

Rachel has yet to master the art of Slowing Down so if Max wakes up manic off her ass from a bad dream Rachel will just. Be Manic With Her. like. oh you need to pace around the hallway 'til you burn off the anxious energy? sure let's pace together. oh you need to go check all the door/window locks like 10 times each? dw i'll help. oh you're gonna go wander outside at 3am in a half-dissociative haze? yeah hold on i'm right behind you let me just grab your jacket

51: What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?

for Max, it's sharing food. Rachel thinks she's real slick about keeping her less than stellar eating habits under wraps but Max Notices. this also is something she doesn't push about bc Rachel is one devious little lying bastard when she wants to be, so instead Max will do things like "accidentally" order too much of stuff she knows Rachel likes too so that they end up sharing, or keeping the bottomless pit known as her bag extra stocked w snacks.

for Rachel, it's stealing Max's clothes so she can wear them around like Lady in Lady and The Tramp showing off her new collar. she's a damn thief actually. Max will spend like 15 minutes looking for The Sweater (tm) and go so far as to text Rachel being like "hey did i leave my sweater in your room" and rachel will say "No." and then the next time Max sees her like maybe 2 hours later she's fucking wearing it. and making the >:3c face. shamelessly

Holy shit Englewood is in the greater Denver area. In such an urban environment, who knows how many people could be/get infected. Even if you weren't at the event, keep an eye out on your dog's health and behavior. You never know what could've gotten to them

SHIT.

Please reblog!

My anthropologist partner dislikes the 1.20 update because it refers to pieces of pottery as "shards" rather than the correct term, "sherds"

Read back over the short story I wrote a while ago last night after not glancing at it for a while and was struck by "hey wait this is actually good." I was enjoying reading it even though I of course knew where it was going. It was nice, after being creatively burnt out for a while, to remember that I am my own audience. I got caught up in feeling like nothing was good enough, worrying about ever publishing etc., so it was a nice reminder. I'm enjoying it, I'm having fun, and that's the most important thing. And if I like it, someone else probably will, too.

Imagine if Galacta Knight wasn't sealed away because he was evil/too strong. Imagine it was because he couldn't control his strength. He becomes so strong that if he isn't consciously dialing it back he could seriously hurt someone just by trying to give them a high-five.

It gets so bad that after defeating/sealing Void, he begs the Ancients to seal him away because killing one of his species is incredibly hard and dangerous to the people around them, and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. His time spent sealed away puts him in a state of consciousness and unconsciousness where he trains himself to dial back his strength.

Moments when he's taken out of his seal to fight are moments when Galactic Nova is controlling him, because the Clockwork Star knows Galacta Knight would refuse to fight if he had the decision. Unfortunately, Galacta Knight is completely conscious when this happens, and he hates how he feels both distraught because of the situation, and excitement from the thrill of the fight.

I think about this moment a lot.

Like. It feels really rude that Fushi’s just brushing Tonari off like this, jerking his hand away as if he’s annoyed she even tried to touch him in the first place. The fact that we don’t even see his expression when he does this makes it feel extra brutal. But I think a lot of people see this scene as if Fushi rejecting Tonari’s ‘advances,’ so to speak, and I’m not convinced that’s what’s happening here.

Like, yeah we see that big love bubble at the corner of the panel while she’s telling Fushi how important he is to her, but Tonari’s just reflected on how she feels about him and ultimately rejected her own feelings. Romantic love is not something she wants to feel for Fushi. So I don’t think she was working her way up to a confession. At least, not intentionally (it’s not her fault Fushi’s an empath)!

Instead I think this scene is supposed to be a parallel of the moment that happens between Gugu and Rean.

Gugu doesn’t tear his hand away from Rean’s because he doesn’t want to hear her confession. He isn’t running away because he doesn’t love her back. Gugu pulls away from Rean because he’s rejecting the concern she has for him and his safety. He realizes there’s something greater that he needs to focus on, something he feels only he‘s strong enough to take care of. And he wants to take care of it to keep her and the people he loves safe. Gugu loves her, it’s just not the right time for him to indulge in it.

In my opinion Fushi feels similarly to Gugu (not the reciprocation part though). He appreciates Tonari’s concern and love for him- that’s why he smiles a little and thanks her- but it’s not the right time for him to indulge in that. He‘s still trying to prove that the world is at peace (something he’s doing because of her, for her), he doesn’t need or want her getting involved in his fight against the nokkers.

I wanna reemphasize that I’m not trying to argue that Fushi secretly reciprocates Tonari’s romantic feelings- he’s already said he’s never felt that way about anyone before. I just don’t think he’s outright rejecting them either.

I think the hands in this scene are also what get people thinking this scene is a little more romantic than it is. It’s a standard cliche where one character stops another from leaving after all lmao. But this to me is what solidifies this as a scene that’s not inherently romantic.

Them grabbing at each other like this is a much older, a much deeper thing for them. Back when they were on Jananda, they’d often grab at each other’s wrists because they could never quite see eye to eye. Tonari specifically would grab at Fushi’s wrists a lot when trying to impose her will on him and drag him along. Once they start understanding each other, however, their hands actually touch (ex. Tonari pressing Oopa’s blow dart to the back of Fushi’s hand).

This scene is a little mix of the two. Tonari’s grabbing Fushi’s wrist to stop him from leaving (imposing her will on him) but her hand overlaps with his palm a little (trying to understand him). Tonari doesn’t know what’s happening completely, but she knows enough to know something’s wrong. In a way, Tonari grabbing for his hand is her appealing to Fushi to open up, to let her in, follow through on this connection that’s always been theirs.

But he doesn’t. Fushi rejects it.

I think the chapter image shows it all pretty well too. They’re both reaching out for each other. But while Tonari’s solid in her attempts to reach him, Fushi's all fuzzy. It's as if these are his emotions. Like, subconsciously he wants to reach out, but he can't. So close, yet so far…

Hhhhhh. 52 hours left.....

late night ramblings

Y'know, now that I think about it, Nova (ToArise OC) has some similarities with Ishtar from FE4 (this was unintentional on my part) :

Both of them are loyal to those they're with (Julius for Ishtar and Vh*lran for Nova), even though if said person is evil.

Known by everyone around them to be powerful in combat

Actually a kinder person once you get to know 'em

Adding on to bullet point one, both Ishtar and Nova also object to any and every cruel act done

Works with outside forces to alleviate the damage (for Ishtar it's working with Arvis to stop the child hunts, for Nova, it's with Alphen's companions to prevent Pelegion's citizens from Hollowing)

Their inner feelings make them stay loyal, on the basis that change is possible.

Both of them end up fighting the opposing parties (Liberation Army // Alphen's gang)

Able to use magic

Purple eyes

Differences?

Nova survives the fight and ultimately defects to Alphen's gang in secret (Nova still loves Vholran though).

Ishtar ends up dying while fighting the Liberation Army one last time.

Nova uses twin rapiers, while Ishtar has the Mjolnir tome.

Nova has never feared Vholran and his power.

Ishtar mentions that she feared what Julius had become, post-corruption by the Loptous tome.

lives were changed

[seraphim-seeker]

I think…. Though he may never admit it. I think Bloodmoon (the Brash Twin) regrets killing KC deep down because he killed someone who genuinely cared about him and his brother.

Now, that he has lost his brother and a long while back killed his father, he’s starting to feel those words from their last interaction now that he is truly alone and no one cares about him. He suffers in silence and within his own emotions because he doesn’t want to admit that he lives with regret or that he’s in pain or that refusal to change is because he does not really anything past killing, maiming, tormenting, and torture

(Yes, Yes, Bloodmoon is kind of a psycho jerk whose killed for fun and this me being a lil delulu but I think there is hope for him. At least this part of Bloodmoon, if he tries.)
