I desperately want to see Ivan with longer hair like in the one child flashback if anything could turn Till gay it would be that

I had a draft on here about Ivan joining the rebellion and growing his hair out long!! ROUND 6 released and absolutely DASHED my hopes of course but it was nice to look back on how blindly optimistic I was haha.... ha....

Anyways. Yes. Ivan with long hair. I think he'd look good with it in a low ponytail maybe... or braided hair.... I've seen AUs where Ivan stayed in the slums and he absolutely rocks a mullet. It's a shame Unsha and Nigeh are so keen on keeping their pets well groomed and proper (Ivan and Sua's hair is so perfectly cut and it stayed that way for basically their whole lives). Ivan with a mullet... Sua with the same hair length she had in the angel/devil art with Mizi.... wah..... they'd look so good.

I think a lot about the fact that Till is so fixated on Mizi's long hair and I wonder if he'd start growing fond of Ivan's hair too if he grew it out (Till braiding flowers into Ivan's hair and insisting it's just practice even though he adjusts the style into something he thinks would fit Ivan specifically... Ivan feeling warm at the touch of Till's hands in his hair.... aauuuuooiighhh)

[rockwgooglyeyes]

sorry for barging in your inbox again rock (this is para. unfortunately)

but I can't stop thinking about your new sillies..... first of all I notice the necklace around mentos neck, is that something of sentimental value given to her? it would be pretty fitting for memento to have a memento of her own

second, would mori and nyx know each other? in what way? (if this was answered already I'm so sorry) also will say that mori gives me very six little nightmares vibes and when I saw her profile I got flashbacks. she is Normal and possesses very concerning traits. What A Gal

third. memento mori 🤝 jioku

I think a lot about their relationship and how handshake emoji it is with jioku. and I love them both because they're both similar for the most part but they turn out differently during the important points

they were both originally best friends... then something went horribly wrong in their friendship that lead them to being essentially strangers.

while for memento mori they're both still haunted by the incident that caused their strained relationship (their actions around each other are poisoned by the memory of it and they are no longer on speaking terms), jiokus whole thing is about trying to bury the issue and make it seem like it never happened in the first place, essentially wiping the slate clean and attempting to build something on top of it while the monster lies under the surface. only one of them can remember what happened and he's dug a grave for himself trying to repress the memory.

also jioku 🤝 memento mori: being unfairly blamed by the other person which causes the inciting incident.... though the person who did it for each pair differs

kioku and memento spinning in a circle while jiu sees himself in mori and has a crisis

NEVER UNFORTUNATE PARA!!! i love you and your asks make me so happy, literally I was stimming so hard and squealing happily when I saw this . . . hhngfhfhh

^ literally me when i received this ask. Anyways let me get to the meat of this.

Mento's pendant is a memento, you are correct! It was given to her as a gift by Mori when they were children and despite the fact that they aren't really friends any longer, Mento keeps wearing the pendant. (also one of Mento's symbols in general is rings. Mori has lightning for hers). The joke of Mento's necklace is that it's her "memento" heh, great catch, Para!!

The funniest thing to me about Jioku/Memento Mori parallels is while Jioku tries to wipe the slate clean and pretend like nothing happened, Memento wishes that she could pretend and honestly she kind of does but Mori's vibes towards Mento are so absolutely hostile that it's impossible for Mento to fully play the part. This is one of the reasons that Mento is much more well liked that Mori, I would say- because Mento seems like the victim out of the two of them, when in reality, she's not. That's actually on purpose, as well. I wanted Memento to look really cute and harmless in comparison to Mori while Mori was actually the one who was betrayed out of the two of them. . . it was meant as a subversion of expectations >:)

Memento and Kioku getting along well while Jiu is horrified by how similar he is to Mori is so hilarious to me actually. Mori looks at Jiu and doesn't really think of him as similar to her but I do think she recognizes the immense guilt he carries and that said guilt is the reason why he's so cold. . . She doesn't know why he's guilty but she recognizes it. It's also really interesting how Mori and Jiu are kind of inflection points of each other? The way that they are both pretty similar and yet one was the one who was blamed and the other. well. the other was the bystander.

uhoh empire sib meta time.

Courtesy of that last rb by @iinfernal thinking very hard (very affectionately) about love in the form of, we are going to work to keep each other on track. Especially with Caleb and Beau. Because like. its not just about newfound acceptance, people who will give you the benefit of the doubt and help you improve, people who see your worst and love you anyway, people who will forgive you.

Like its about that! But its also about- i trust you to drag me back if i stray. i trust you to call me out, to push back. i am putting my back to you- you will protect it, and you will also pull me back if i wander.

The first big backstory reveal between Beau and Caleb was an exchange, not a kindness. it was, tell me why you are afraid of fire, and ill get you into the library. Caleb laid out some of the corners of his guilty conscience, to Nott, with all of her faith in him, (he is my boy), to Beau, with her skepticism and brusque curiosity, and it was not meant as a soft gesture. It was not a call for forgiveness, or absolution- it was an item for barter, a warning, an admission of guilt.

and Beau- still unsure, still rough around the edges and rude and defensive and angry, shell-shocked and out of her depth did not provide forgiveness, or kindness. She said something along the lines of- good god, you know thats fucked up, right? i didnt ask for this, what the fuck.

She said something like: you know what you need to do now, then, right? prevent this guy from hurting more people. This is what you've gotta do now, I think- this is what we'll do-

And Caleb gets into the library, and casts haste on Beau in a bar fight, and there is something to be said about love shaped like a willingness to disagree, to push back, to say things wrong but try to say it anyway.

Caleb, and Beau, arguing. Beau is suspicious and Caleb is ready to run, and "the problem with friends is you have to care about them". Running into old injuries and boundaries, working to learn them, to fight to communicate. Apologies that are awkward but sincere. Kindness that is misshappen but intentional.

Caleb and Beau, butting heads, poking fun, trusting the other person to be suspicious of them, when it really counts.

"Can we keep each other straight?"

Some fifty episodes apart: have faith in us, just a little bit? dont run.

follow your own advice. don't go.

Caleb, vision and hearing gone and flung out ahead, placing a hand on Beau's shoulder. Lead me well, lead me straight, bring me back if I stray. Caleb and Beau, going in circles about what to do as the world ends, ambition and magic and time and guilt, and entities at war. Worried about evil, about going wrong, needing the clear vision of someone who loves you and will not eternally forgive you.

"I'm worried I am exactly what he said I was."

"Not yet."

God just. Love as keeping each other on track. Beau and Caleb, as the only ones to get the eyes, afflicted by searching too hard for knowledge. what a horror, to have you and your tether tossed into an unknown spiral. what a comfort- if it was any of them, at least it was both. The Mighty Nein, making contingency plans, Yasha sticking close to caleb and cooing over his animal forms and ready, ready, for the worst. What a nightmare. Thank god. "Im glad it was us."

"You drove me insane."

"I hated you. You sucked."

What love. What immense care. Years on in, and it all still comes back to:

"You got my back?"

"What's the play, Beauregard?"

[seariii]

ever since the caininstict post the oke where….. you used a lighteryea thay postnrememberbthat???? ever since then ive been staring atmt ltitle sister intentlynw with the same constant thought you had towards me and theres those rewlly cool bio lab lighters thay my scjool has thise like long clickable lighters youknow… do you think she’llturn into like a burn marshmallow then if i peel off the burnt layer the insides would he very melted since it doeswork that way with an actual marshmallow

Okay that's crazy, I have the thoughts about pushing my brother off the top of the stairs or randomly hitting him so that's funny.

.... Still, I don't think it's a good idea, more than a marshmallow I think what you would find after peeling her burnt skin would be more like.... I guess it would depend on the level of the burn... Maybe it would have blisters that you could pop like balloons... Maybe the skin would be carbonized and fall ok its own... Maybe you wouldn't be able to see the skin and it's just a burnt red of the muscles

Also I don't think she would engulf in fire that easily, you would need a.... Um... Combustion.... Thingy.... Like gasoline, alcohol or oil.

Ah and don't burn her hair, that was really mean of me to do to you (I'd do it again)

[kitkat-dreams]

being asked about daydreams is such a delicate thing cause sometimes its like :D you wanna hear about my guys? 🥺 and other times its like my soul is being ripped out piece by piece

[pandemonium-of-love]

"You know that I'd marry you, if I could do that and also marry..."

"Yeah. I know. It's okay that way. you know I'd marry you if I could also marry her, right?"

"Yeah. It's okay this way."

[boxwinebaddie]

if you don’t mind me asking, how in the everloving fuck did you get mercury AND arsenic poisoning?? is that common??

siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

so, no...thankfully, my dear, sweet darling:

i don't think it's terribly common, ( neither was the arsenic i guess, but i'll get into that ) but it is when you're stupid as fuck like me.

because i am too lazy to type it all out again and don't have it in me to be eloquent ( i am saving that for writing about the boys, now that i, thankfully, can coherently write again ) i will send you the synopsis that i sent elite sickfic style dr. ana ( god's fucking angel )

**it's the updated, more articulate ( give or take ) version because i tried to explain it to the girls the day i got home ( take it easy on them please, i couldn't text or call and gave them quite a fright, ily girlies ) unfortunately, i was still not super good at making words and processing things, so i wrote this now that i am functioning better.

sorry for spooking you all about the parasite; long story short, it was not as deadly as i thought -- I DID, HOWEVER, STILL HAVE A VERY NASTY BACTERIAL INFECTION, LIKE WHEN I SAY NASTY, I MEAN VERY, VERY, VERY BAD AND I WAS FIGHTING IT CONCURRENTLY WITH THE PARA WHICH MADE IT SEEM A LOT WORSE, VERY ASS!

but long story, medium:

alright! gather round kids --

it's uncle nina story time.

tw for gross medical stuff / me being in mentally ill hell

anyways, looking forward to sharing my writing with you all again and answering my asks if we still care!

love you and hyh,

metal head uncle nina

Cada luna que veo me recuerda a ti, grande y brillante. Cada estrella representa una sonrisa tuya, bella y reluciente..Cada destello es un deseo por querer estar contigo. Y cada estrella fugaz son las ganas que tengo por querer abrazarte de una manera inolvidable, que nunca nadie más lo hará.

Do any other comshippers sometimes experience moments when they wholeheartedly adore ships/dynamics that are considered problematic, only to feel repulsed by the mere thought of them at other times? Like haha damn girl I love k.docon usually but this is gonna make me hurl and cry 😂
