The best part about historically accurate castles in your medieval settings is that the Only One Bed trope practically writes itself. You don't need a convoluted reason. That's just how castles are. There is like one bed and everyone else sleeps on the floor.

DISABLED HOMELESS TRANS MAN NEEDS HELP REPAIRING THE CAR HE LIVES IN

Once again my car has broken down, setting me back in my goal to purchase a van to upgrade my living situation. The repair + tow will end up totalling about $1000 or more if they find more issues with my car. I need to continue saving and cannot afford to let go of this money, as everything I currently have is savings from a fundraiser that I need to spend on the fundraiser's goal. Please help me recoup these costs so I can get the car I live in moving again and continue to invest in a better future for myself.

☺️ I propose everyone should give Moon kisses or hugs till he’s learned how to react to (or accept) genuine Love & Affection~

Speaking of which- Sun, you should give him more hugs! You’re brothers after all, right? ^^

kind of hard to hug someone when you share the same body.

When Arikado claims he isn't afraid, Soma doesn't believe him. Mind you, he doesn't often have many reasons to doubt his friends. They supported him when he needed it the most. When his own emotions don't get the better of him, he recognizes even Arikado cares. But now? It's that single moment of hesitation that sticks out like a sore thumb.

He is right, isn't he? This realization takes Soma by surprise because he was mostly just guessing. Trying and failing to make sense of everything. There must really be something more to this than what he is aware of.

Before he can think about it any further, much less talk, Soma recoils back a step as if struck. Pale eyes widen. His lips part without a sound. And then... ❝ Stop bringing Mina into this! I would NEVER hurt her. ❞ Visceral hurt bleeds into his tone. Soma Cruz would never intentionally place Mina Hakuba in harm's way. ❝ And no, I don't know because you won't explain it to me! ❞

A sharp breath. He reaches for the talisman around his neck, clutching it in his hand. He doesn't want to argue with Arikado. He really doesn't. But he doesn't want to keep going around in circles, either.

❝ ...Look, I'm not the one making excuses here. ❞ Soma tries to sound calmer than he truly feels. No yelling, no shouting — especially not at the Hakuba Shrine. ❝ You're afraid. ❞ It's not a question but a statement uttered with full confidence. ❝ That's why you're being so evasive. ❞

It leaves him with one important question: afraid of what? This whole back-and-forth started because Soma wanted to know about his past incarnation. So, it has to be related to Dracula somehow. He still doesn't think it's about the possibility of another dark lord emerging —— at least not entirely.

Did Dracula...? No, that can't be it. While it's difficult to pinpoint Arikado's exact age, he doesn't look old in Soma's eyes.

His head is starting to hurt. ❝ You're afraid because... because you think something will happen if I find out? Is that it? ❞ It's a shot in the dark, but Soma can't think of anything else.

It's so fractional that one might barely see it, but Arikado's eyes widen a little at Soma's accusation before his mouth presses into a grimace. Perhaps it wasn't intended as such, or maybe it was, but to Arikado - an accusation is exactly how it feels. Because honestly... Soma's hit the nail right on the head in a way that he doesn't want to acknowledge at all.

"I..." he only hesitates for a moment, but one moment is enough for Soma to surely pick up on. "I'm not afraid."

Arikado's insistence is firm and defensive. But how could he not be afraid? If Arikado tells him the truth, then not only will it change the way Soma looks at him forever, but... will Arikado start looking for glimpses of his father in him even more? Will he torment himself by looking for something that was never there? Or worse, what if it is?

Arikado knows that Soma is a child, and it's not like he doesn't usually think of him as such. God knows that attitude of his makes it obvious on most days. But sometimes... occasionally, Arikado can feel himself slip. There's a part of him that wants Soma's approval. His reassurance. Things that no ordinary adult would feel about someone so inexperienced in the world... but perfectly natural when you consider what a child might want from their father...

"And- even if I was, I have a perfectly good reason to be. Do you even know what harm Dracula brought to this world? Stop looking for excuses and trying to justify yourself with hypotheticals! You'd risk Mina's life just for your curiosity?"

He'll regret snapping later, he's sure - but in the end, a scared animal will always lash out. Soma's right. He doesn't want him to find out the truth. And while Arikado hates his own cowardice... that hatred doesn't make the desperation that grips him go away at all.

I really like that they made Jor-El speak Kryptonian and Clark unable to understand him. The whole "aliens speak English" thing that happens in every goddamn media has bothered me all my life. Ik sometimes Clark just gets zapped in the brain for insta-second language but that always felt like a cheap shortcut.

Jor-El had a lot on his mind when he set up that magic spaceship okay. The world was ending and he was trying to do as much as he could before time ran out so he could be there for his son. He was rushing. He likely didn't consider Kal would be raised with a whole different language and not know any Kryptonian nor have anyone to teach him.
