#relam breaker

[lilyharvord]

Hiiii i was wondering if you could give your opinions on the corayne x andry ship? Its because i actually think its kinda cute but at the same time not that well developed but most people seem to absolutely HATE it and i would like to hear someone else's opinion on them? 😊

OKAY so my take on this is a hot one, kinda boiling I guess.

If you read my live reading you can see that I'm personally not a fan of the ship. The main reason being that Andry sort of annoys me. XD Which I know sounds sacrilegious, and I'll let the stans enter the chat to cancel me in a moment, but I low key don't like characters who spend the majority of the time just despairing over things like he does. He just sort of grinds my gears with his thoughts. He also really didn't serve much of the plot in Blade Breaker other than to be this person who is just thinking about Corayne and despairs over how he is no longer a perfect squire. I felt as if his chapters could have gone to better use (*cough cough Ridha cough cough*). So I'm not his biggest fan which is know is sad cause I kinda liked him in book 1.

The ship is cute, I'll give it that. It's clearly a friends to lovers type thing, and in that regard its very sweet. I guess I just feel like there was no chemistry at first and it was just: welp, there are these two young people in close proximity might as well put 'em together. WHICH IS LITERALLY WHAT SHE DID WITH KILORNxCAMERON and notice how that shit died a death so quick we all fucking blinked and missed it after people were like: lol what the fuck? to it in War Strom. I guess I felt like it was sort of forced in Realm Breaker, and then it was definitely forced at the beginning of Blade Deal Breaker.

I'm probably not the best person to talk about Deal Breaker right now though. I'm still incredibly petty over it, and just have a lot of thoughts. I like Annie's idea of Corayne getting to have a girlfriend. SPOILERS: Victoria killed off one of the only wlw lesbian characters in the series and so I am here now to demand more from her. Her LGBTQIA kill count is suspiciously high, and I fear it may get higher in book 3 (*side eyes Erida nervously*).

FORGOTTEN

Part 3

Warnings: Diluc and Kaeya are sus

Notes: Exams are over…the suffering…is over….I’m finally FRE- *gets smacked by multiple tests*

Here part 1 and part 2

Summary: You die stopping your brothers form fighting, but somehow live? You lose all memory of them tho and get transported to another relam. And then you meet four years later.

“THEY SAVED MY LIFE JUST A WHILE AGO.”

Traveler yelled in frustration and it made Diluc freeze. Like a deer caught in headlights. A million questions rose in his mind. Did he hear that correct?

“Master Diluc? Hey? Are yo-“

“Please go back to your room.”

And with that, he left.

Traveler groaned in frustration. Who is this mystery person? They took down those monsters form the pit so easily…Their head throbbed. Maybe some fresh air can help? Yes, fresh air would be lovely. Maybe a small walk around the vineyard as well….in some appropriate clothes of course.

They headed back to their room and changed into their normal clothes. It was hard to do that because of the injuries but they were unfazed. They could only think about the mystery person in silence. Speaking of silence, where is the silence breaker Paimon? Meh maybe she’s outside as well?

________________________

It was a peaceful sunny day outside. Just like the day when they fell into that pit of horror. Crystalflies were merrily fluttering among the vineyards with a soft glow. Traveler strolled among them, wanting to collect them but their aching body said otherwise. There were so many things going around! From a distance we can see birds in their nests, squirrels collecting nuts, Paimon arguing with Kaeya…wait- Kaeya? What was he doing here?

Next to the manor’s entrance, Paimon was yelling at Kaeya and angrily stomping her foot in air while Kaeya just crossed his arms and said something that seemed to annoy her even further. Next to them was Elzer who was desperately trying to calm them down.

“HAH! PAIMON BETS YOU CANT EVEN EAT GRAPES!”

“Now now, just because i don’t like grape juice doesn’t mean I can’t eat grapes.”

“Why are you two yelling about eating grapes?” Traveler decided to join in. Paimon perked up at the familiar voice.

“Traveler! Look! Paimon was just asking Elzer for grape juice and Kaeya had THE AUDACITY to appear out of NOWHERE AND MAKE FUN OF PAIMON FOR WANTING A DRINK!”

“I was just trying to greet you Paimon-“

“What kind of greeting goes “ew grape juice”?”

“Pfft” Traveler tried to stifle their laughter. It only further offended Paimon and she began ranting even louder.

“By the way what are you doing here Kaeya?” Ignoring the angry pixie, traveler now gave their attention to Kaeya’s strange presence at the manor. Why was he here though?

(If you look real closely you can see salt being rubbed on a certain angry marshmallow who was being ignored.)

“Don’t mind me, I’m here to pay a visit to master Diluc regarding some matters. Now, Elzer?”

“Right this way Master Kaeya,” Elzer bowed and began leading Kaeya inside the manor. They were about to enter when traveler suddenly called his name.

“Kaeya!” He was there in that picture. His blue hair and eye can’t be mistaken for somebody else’s. Maybe he knows who that child was?

Kaeya stopped in his footsteps and turned to the traveler.

“…nothing, sorry.” But traveler hesitated.

Kaeya stared for a second then huffed with a small smile and went inside, leaving traveler alone with Paimon.

…………

“HEY! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING???” Paimon impatiently floated in front of the traveler’s face, waving her arms. They snapped out of their thoughts. Darn, they let another chance escape…

“What was that? You were staring into space.” Her tone was full of concern. Should she know? Doesn’t seem to bring any harm to tell her…

“Paimon, there was something in that room at the end of the ha-“

“Honorary Knight, hello!” It was Adelinde this time.

“Hey Adelinde! What’s up?” Paimon turned and waved at her as she approached them.

“Oh nothing much, I see you are recovering honorary knight.” She smiled at the traveler. They smiled back.

“I am, but pray tell, why is Kaeya here?” Curiosity got the better of traveler as they asked.

Adelinde’s smile was replaced by a sad look. She quickly tried to cover it up but the duo had already seen it.

“I think they are having a work related meeting. Im not sure.” She said but it also felt fake, like a lie.

“Adelinde, are you okay?” Paimon was confused at her behaviour.

“Im fine really! Instead I should be the one asking you, traveler you look pretty distracted by something.” She was right about traveler looking distracted though. They really can’t get their mind off that picture.

“Adelinde, can I ask you something?”

“Yes?”

“What is that room at the end of the hall on the first floor?”

______________________

Somewhere….

“Hey toots, whatcha doing here all alone?”

Alone on a rooftop, a (h/c) haired person sits and stares at the black and red sky above them. They didn’t notice the brunette girl approaching them until she called them out.

“Nothing much, just wondering about this damn pit…” they sighed. The girl lazily sat next to them.

“or are you wondering about those two?”

“…..”

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

“*sigh* It’s just…listen, I don’t believe in this “aura” and shit but there is something about them that felt so familiar.”

“…have you inhaled any toxic gases recently?”

The brunette received a playful punch on the shoulder. She giggled.

“No damn it. I just- ugh…even I can’t explain this…it feels so familiar like I…I-“ they stop mid sentence as they find themselves short of words. What is that familiar feeling?

The brunette was about to speak when a siren went off.

“Crap it’s happening again!” They both got up from their seats and jumped off the roof, reaching the ground running through the ghostly streets.

“Wasn’t this supposed to not occur until next week??” The (h/c) haired person asked clearly confused and concerned.

“I don’t fucking know! Just focus of reaching the top of the cathedral!” The brunette yelled as they both ran even faster.

Time Patrol Chronology

75 Million Years Ago: Chronoa and Mechikabura are two Core People and rivals for the position of Supreme Kai of Time.   They’re assigned to raise a Tokitoki egg, but during this job, Mechikabura tries to speed up the process with dark magic and that messes things up.    He then attempted to raise a phony Tokitoki named Dokidoki.     Mechikabura’s wickedness was eventually exposed, and he was banished to “a space beyond time”, which is either the Crack of Time or what would eventually become the Demon Realm.    

During this time, Demigra, Putine, and Gravy were underlings of Mechikabura, and Demigra attempted his own evil plot involving Tokitoki.    He was later exposed and banished to the Crack of Time.    I’m not clear on whether this happened before or after Mechikabura’s exile.  

Sealas, First Time Patroller: This guy was a Galactic Patrolman whom Chronoa recruited, but he couldn’t handle the darker side of maintaining the timeline.    After witnessing one of Kid Buu’s primordial rampages, Sealas becomes disillusioned and tries to turn against Chronoa, only to get sealed in the Crack of Time.    Later, he returns and tries to destroy all of history so he can start over fresh.   Sort of like Sensui from Yu Yu Hakusho except, no it’s exactly like that, the guy who writes Dragon Ball Heroes is a hack.

Dark Demon Realm Saga: Chronoa confronts Trunks about his alterations to the past, and recruits him for the Time Patrol.    Trunks and Chronoa track down the Dark Demon Realm Army, led by Towa and Mira.  Their objective is to gather energy to release the seal on the Demon Realm.   Also they have Bardock working for them thanks to a mind control mask.    Trunks liberates Bardock, so they team up against Mira until  Towa orders a retreat.

Towa then executes her plan to bring her dead brother Dabura back to life.  Unclear if she actually resurrects him or just alters the timeline to circumvent his death.  They fight the Time Patrol, but are eventually defeated and then Broly runs in and attacks them?    Okay?

Dark Empire Saga: Towa uses her stolen energy reserves to release Mechikabura from the Crack of Time.    The Dark Demon Realm Army then becomes the Dark Empire.   Why all these name changes.    Mechikabura is old and weak, so Towa proposes using the Dark Dragon Balls to restore his youth.   To aid them in this quest, Mechikabura bestows “Demon God” powers on his top demons: Towa, Dabura, Gravy, Putine, Shroom, and Salsa.  

Chronoa recruits Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Goten to assist the Time Patrol.   I guess these are alternate timeline versions of these guys.  The team travels to different eras to intercept the Demon Gods before they can make their wish. 

Ultimately, the Demon Gods are successful, and the rejuvenated Mechikabura absorbs their powers, becoming so strong that Chronoa is forced to use her “Time Power Unleasehed” form to defeat him.    She traps both herself and Mechikabura in the Crack of Time.    The Time Patrollers return to the Time Nest to Time Discuss how to arrange a Time Rescue.   Time.

Dark King Mechikabura Saga: The Time Patrol responds to another time disturbance and runs into the Demon Gods, along with Towa’s newest creation, Fin.  Also, Chronoa is with them as a mind-controlled henchman.    Then the Demigra Army shows up to join forces with the TP.   He wants this alliance against Mechikabura so he can defeat him and then overthrow Chronoa at a later date.    Also Pan joins the Time Patrol, so that’s a thing.   

Mechikabura defeats the TP anyway, but Trunks is spared the effects of Chronoa’s time powers because he has something called the “Key Sword”.   The others pool their power into him, which turns him into a Super Saiyan God.  Oh, so that’s why Pan showed up.    SSG Trunks fights Mechikabura and frees Chronoa, and she helps seal Mechikabura in the Crack of Time.   Again?

Following the defeat of Mechikabura: Towa assumes control of the Dark Empire and reorganizes it into the Time Breakers. 

Prison Planet Saga: Pretty sure this is the storyline depicted in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime.  

Sealas Returns, World Mission: Sealas escapes the Crack of Time through a wormhole that leads to the Time Nest.   He beats Trunks then leaves through another wormhole.  

Chronoa then assigns Trunks to investigate “anomalies in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes game world.”  Apparently SDBH is a virtual world based upon the official history recorded in the Scroll of Eternity.  You have got to be shitting me, Pyle.  

Trunks sets up a secret base in the city of Hero Town, along with his assistant Leggings.   But Trunks is a character in the game, so everyone knows his face.    The only way he can keep a low profile is to disguise himself Great Saiyaman 3, which is... certainly a sentence made of words.   Also, chicks dig Great Saiyaman 3.   Well of course they do. 

Okay, so the deal here is that Sealas wants to alter the timeline, but he wants to make sure he’s altering it correctly, so he’s using the virtual world in the SDBH game as a model for the actual space-time continuum.    Because it’s based on the Scroll of Eternity?   I mean, sure, but how the hell did Capsule Corp’s game devs get ahold of it?    Anyway, Trunks needs help from experienced players to suss this out, so he recruits an elite team of super nerds: The Dragon Ball Heroes.   

Dragon Ball Online: The Time Patrol recruits warriors from Age 1000 to help them fend off temporal incursions by the Time Breakers, an evil team led by Towa.  

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1: Trunks uses the Dragon Balls to wish for a strong ally, one who can help him defend the timeline from another round of tampering.   It’s the Time Breakers again, but this time they do enough damage to the timeline that it wears down the barrier separating the Crack of Time from the rest of the universe, allowing Demigra to escape.    Demigra finally launches his long-promised takeover of the Time Nest, and briefly usurps Chronoa’s position, until the Time Patrol finally defeats him once and for all.  

Between Xenoverse 1 & 2: The TIme Patrol expands its roster as more and more time anomalies occur.   They bring in the Elder Supreme Kai to help with the administration, and continue searching for Towa and Mira, who remain at large.   During this period, Chronoa accidentally wrecks Toki Toki city, then decides it would be easier to build a new city instead of fixing the old one, and thus creates the larger, cooler Conton City.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2: I’ll worry about that later.   

Things to clear up.

1) There seems to be several different names for the Crack of Time.   Time Abyss, Time Labyrinth, eternal labyrinth, etc.   I thought these might be different places, but they all serve the same dramatic purpose, which is to act as a prison for the bad guys.  

2) However, if all of these things are the same, then Chronoa keeps tossing bad guys into the same prison, yet they keep breaking out, some of them more than once.   I guess its established that if you gather enough energy, you can bring someone out of the Crack of Time, so maybe it’s just a matter of making sure that doesn’t happen.    Chronoa tried to imprison Mechikabura more permanently by locking herself in with him, but that just backfired on her when he mind-controlled her.  

3) How did Demigra join forces with the Time Patrol against Mechikabura when he was still imprisoned in the Crack of Time?  Or did he participate in that battle remotely, via one of his illusions?    Hell, he probably snuck out and snuck back in and no one even noticed.

4) I guess the Demon Realm was inside the Crack of Time?    That explains how Mechikabura could create it and run the place while he was banished in the crack.  

5) I’m pretty sure “Time Breakers”, “Dark Empire”, “Demon Relam” and “Dark Demon Realm” are all the same thing.   They didn’t change the name necessarily, it’s just that no one can decide what to call it.

Acceptance

There are many things in life we do not and cannot control, however there are also many things we can. Attitude and acceptance are monumental ones that are based from the haven of our own being. We can be hollow or we can be filled. We can fear or live, hate or love, try or quit. There is so much within our control. We hold the power and yet we also give it away. Some of us never learn to stand up for ourselves or fight for what we want. Some do after being trauamatized. And some peopme are just born to do it.

I want to live. But what is living? I want my life to have meaning and purpose but I know I will be forgotten no matter what i do. And sometimes isolation has saved my kife, to be perfectly honest. But it also has wrecked havoc in my mind and the relationships that are not toxic.

My boyfriend had a lengthy discussion with me today and it was after a previous realization that I am not enough for myself. And i am upset that I am so sensitive that it literally pains his heart because on many occasions now I have taken offense or prevented him from sharing something with me because of negative feelings. It isnt fair to him, nor do I want to live that way. I dont want to analyze happiness and experience and joy and love, I just want to have it. I dont want to have to make a concious decision at every moment if i am in a safe zone with anyone incl my own feelibgs, or if i need to build walls or change sonething. or rest.

I worry that even with a psycg degree he cannot fully understand the trauama ive been thru or what its like to operate on full throtle and survival mode all of the time. I have been away from my ex for 9 months and yet i havent stopped fearing the world. I fewl i have an even bigger right to fear because now im depending on other people, daycare workers to the boss at work and so forth.

But its not easy. I feel inadequete especially if someone makes the inference that i am a burden or taking up too much time, or just plan disses me. I am slowly learning how to approach other human beings... but all it does it highten my scences even more. there is so much to work on at one time. I am changing my priorities however i still get intimidated by the load. or at least sad. Am i sad that my life turned out this way or what am i sad about? ive been sad for so long that i just dont know anymore.

But my boyfriend is sad. And so i cant be. or shouldnt be. But sometimes when im asked not to be sad or anxious, i get really confused because unless someone walks with me and holds my hand, thats not something very confusing to me because my brain is very active.

All of this is why it is difficult to give my boyfriend the play that he craves. Are there baby steps to lead up to it or have we already been doing those and its time to move forward? He doesnt want to push too hard but i so worry if i cant fi d a way to relax that it will be a deal breaker. And then that stresses me out too. But to be fair, our carefree and fun sides are not really something we have shared or had time to share with each other. And im undecided if its possible or if itd truly send my brain on overload. But i also feel that in order for play to feel geniuine, we need to have more playful nonsexual aspects in our relationship. But then i feel thats too much to ask because hes basically already giving me the world.

The more we talk and i hear him say whore and words like that, the more i can associate the pride in his voice for me with them. I need that. And sometimes the overemphasis on guidance r personal life and then tryi g to switch to sexiness or sexual play is just not possible for me and makes me not relaxed enough to proceed, let alone proceed with enthusiasm. Its not always a matter of trust, but processing speed and not exactly overload but something in the relam of it.

I am a slut. tho not proudly bc i struggle with sexuality being okay but i am much more comfortable with it than be4. and admit it, I am a slut. i am neutral to the concept by now. But i am proudly his slut and whore. I lovee meeti g his sexual needs. It excites me far after he has left including using those mental images to masterbate to myself. In order for words to be okay, everytime he says something i need him to say his. I am his whore. I am his equal. I am his submissive. and so on. Then it is fine, but the minute its left out of something like fuck hole or sex toy, the mental co sequence is great. I struggle to not feel like those are things that are used, get ur needs met, and its done. I only want long term positive sustaining words of value and pride associated with me bc my self esteem is very very low. But its growing. I am growing.

Each time i find something i can do for him he asks so.ethi g harder and the time span to complete it usually feels shorter. But, this is very important to him and we have discussed it off and on for the last month and he said he would accept that i wasnt okay with it. I could do it. First written than verbally, and only inclusive with the word my or his. Todays conversation showed me that as well as a lot of thibgs lately. I take baby steps and yet i still feel like im runnibg ad its both sad and frustrating. sometimes i am running tho. I am more co fident at a full run and panic more at baby steps to be honest. So what can i do differently? I know I can give him this. I know I am give him almost everything he wants, or most of it. And I want this. I want to be his. I want him to own me and be proud that im his. it isnt about me feeling ok with myself but that we are both proud that i am his and i willingly give him me. And its also a beautiful form of play when the intent is not seen to tear a person down. although there r siutations where that is part of the intention or at least sexual pleasure of it. i have spent decades bei g humiliated and so for me i cant sexually do it, but i can be owned and that wasnt easy but i did it.

Today when he told me i was his equal, was huge. he said he wouldnt add it until im ready. Ive had a lot of thought and it all makes sense. and i am so happy and proud. And i dont see him as less or inadequet3 or anything and therefore need not see myself that way. Because he isnt bigger, hes just my dom. He isnt really more important, just more experienced. but still so much i could think about. but i am way past time as it is. But, i love it when he claims me. and being his equal was a huge deal to me. And i want to show him im proud to be his. He already usnt a secret anymore. And i need to keep persuing ways to show him im his. maybe he in part too has fears bc he tells me i hold the power. one of those thibgs i can choose to leave at any point. Sometimes he clings more than others and other times he keeps pointing at my wings and my feet. He needs me to choose and want him. and to not just see him as my boyfriend but to willingly give all of me to him bc he loves all of me so why should i give him any less?
